Maybe exercise caution with upgrading to 19.04.

On the original computer that had the problem with 18.04, I have got around to upgrading it to 19.04.

That changed things from bad to worse. On...

Are you in a position to upgrade to 19.04 ?

WebDAV itself or any given implementation? I see quite a few obvious attempts to exploit WebDAV implementation problems come in to my existing internet facing web server - so yes the hackers are out...

An alternative approach to the original problem as posed (expose DLNA-served content as a file system) is to put in a DLNA to WebDAV converter to a web server and then use the WebDAV backend for...

I think I have it working now but there are a few traps for young players.

1. Kernel 4.18 seems to recommend and autoinstall the wrong version (340 rather than 390, and 340 simply doesn't work if...

That's the fallback position if I can't get it working. nVidia (drivers) seems to be a problem around release upgrades or major kernel version upgrades. Between those times it hasn't given me too...

I don't think "GeForce GT 560M" exists. Don't know whether it is misidentified by lspci or in some other way. All other evidence says that it's a GeForce GTX 560M.

I admit that that is one version that I have not tried.



Here's the problem ... that installed 340 (which is what I had before I just purged it) and 340 fails to build with kernel 5.0

So do...

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF116M [GeForce GT 560M] [10de:1251] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

OK, so I had Ubuntu 18.04 LTS working well (kernel 4.18.0-25) with nvidia drivers 340.

Then something took it into its head to push out kernel 5.0.0-21 (unclear why, it wasn't me i.e. it wasn't...

Thanks for the ideas. It looks as if cmus may be able to do the job. It does require access to the underlying files (i.e. not reflecting what the DLNA server is serving) but that should be adequate...

Correct - but that is precisely what djmount does - it exposes content that is served by a DLNA server as a file system, which is what I want.

I am already using EasyTag to set tags (when they are...

djmount exists and works fine in 18.04 and while I am not running 18.10 seems still to exist in that release but seems to have been dropped from 19.04 (I've just upgraded from 18.04 to 19.04)

(So...

19.04 behaves the same as 18.04

Recognising that PS/2 is fairly obsolete these days, I've gone out and bought Plan B - a 2 x PS/2 to USB adapter. Works out of the box at all levels (BIOS, boot menu, GRUB, ...) without drivers etc....

I've done that. It works correctly.

I changed three things at once

fresh install v. upgrade
19.04 v. 18.04
different computer


so I can't say what made the difference. It may take a...

Thanks for finding that. I had looked around the internet and not found any matching problem descriptions. That is exactly what I am observing. At least I know it is not just me.



That depends....

I'm passing on doing that - for the reason that you give.



inxi isn't installed out of the box, which could be a problem when doing a Live Boot.

On the normal boot, I installed inxi and it...

Yes



Selecting Glass in Settings / Sound / Sound Effects results in the sound made at the time of selection being correct (just Glass) but then when I cause the system to output the alert sound...

I think that functionality is 19.04 only.? I am suggesting that it might be working in 19.04 so one more needs to test under 18.04.

Where you have 18.04, is that a laptop or a desktop?

In 18.04...

In nautilus, click the search icon and then press Backspace in the empty field. Or Backspace in the shell (xterm) when you haven't typed anything (provided that 'Terminal bell' is enabled in the...

I recently upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04.

With a desktop that has speakers connected to the Line Out port, the alert sound comes out as two sounds. The expected sound is the sound that has been...

I recently upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04.

While downloading updates in Software Updater, resizing the window no longer works as expected.

Under 16.04 resizing the window also stretched the...

I wish I could. The problem has gone away now. :-( In my original post, you can see that I tried 4 different recent LiveBoot Ubuntu versions that did not work. Now they are working. All I can say is...
