Re-installed the system, kept my data partition intact. Ubuntu Pro says I still have 5 licenses, so I'm probably still okay on the Advantage.
I'm not really sure what that means after the past 3...

My gui on an old 5th gen. i7, Iris 630 graphics, is apparently gone after xorg was removed during an upgrade today, Aug. 4. My data is on a separate partition, so it's good. This install has survived...

HP Pro Book 450G1
Runs Ubuntu 20.04 lts, 22.04 lts. They also can run Chrome OS Flex; haven't tried that yet. Unit came with Windows 7, Win 10 upgrade, then an inadvertent coffee spill; all hardware...

Thank you. Will mark "solved."

I will update via Synaptic for the time being where I can see what I'm getting before installing or replacing. I have a widespread python script that can remove my...

Are we supposed to trust a 6 MB download with not details or tech description? I'm hitting remind until I see something that makes the update seem more credible.

Wild Suggestion:

Turn your old partition into /home mount point. Resize as necessary to make room for / (filesystem) mount point and swap area. 20-35 gigabytes will give you room depending on how...

Dapper Drake and 6.06 are the same--my first Ubuntu install. Somebody following up after 12 years?
;)

I meant, "Who is he trying to make look stupid?"

I have Forum Admin QIII making an issue of one sentence in one post in a thread I started and marked solved. I have since edited the "offending" phrase.

Is he trying to make look stupid?

It's a...

I edited my post above. The thread is marked "solved." Consider letting someone else benefit from my experience. Watch for view counts at least first.

Your posts are less than helpful.

A single occurrence isn't necessarily a bug. Just saying that there's no use creating an issue on Launchpad if this was a one off. I solved my own problem at least. Here's the proof:

Figured this one out myself after walking away from it for a while. Still no sleep. Perhaps now.

Simple solution. Went to Setttings, Network and deleted the original 100 mb wired connection....

Realtek RTL8111H gigabit lan now throttled to 100 Mb after upgrade in place from 16.04.5 to 18.04.1. Was running full speed before upgrade and have Google gigabit internet. Definitely 1/10 the speed....

Thank you, deadflowr. Didn't know about byobu and purging kernels that way. I knew there must be something easier than the housekeeping task I was assigning myself with every kernel update. I may be...

I write to NTFS on my laptop often. Only problem I ever had was after upgrading to Win 10 on it. Always RESTART from Windows if you want to go to Linux and access your Windows 10 NTFS partition....

Yes, that's true. But the computer doesn't have to run that fast to return those stats. Those stats (multiplier, instruction sets, etc.) are embedded in the CPU. All you need is the software to read...

Atari 400/800/800XL, Atari ST (my friend owned an Atari only store), Mac+, Custom built 80486, DEC VAX via modem, Mac SE, Mac Quadra, and still the last 25 or so years to account for with many...

I don't want to belabor the obvious solution or be insulting, but have you checked your BIOS settings and made sure the computer isn't running in power saver mode? What about System Settings>Power?...

4.13 is in the Xenial repository now. Just got upgraded from 4.10 to 4.13.0-28. I don't do unsupported backports. This is supported.

Speaking of backports, I guess we're not going to bother. Just got upgraded to kernel 4.13.0-26. AFAIK, this is the latest kernel available. I suggest everyone hold on until this gets to you. This...

I installed to this machine from 16.04.03 disk, so no major updates yet. I stay on the LTS versions. On 4.10.0-42 now. I don't know what the kernel was on the installation disk. A new kernel was...

Try a new install after a thorough cleaning of that old laptop. Use compressed air if possible. Try to avoid static discharges. Don't let a vacuum tool come into contact with the computer.

Gigabyte Brix Pro 5775 barebones kit.

Moved 16.04.03 to a Gigabyte Brix Pro 5775. As said in the reviews at Newegg, it makes a LOT of fan noise, but has been up now on this machine for about two...

Open the wine browser and go to your link. Right click, copy and paste URL text to Notepad, then copy and paste into new wine browser tab. You may be able to do this without the intermediary step of...

Your laptop is probably suspending when you close your lid. Go to System Settings, then select the Power icon.

Make sure it says "Do nothing" next to the label "When the lid is closed" and it says...
