It seems like umount.ecryptfs_private might be the way to go, but its man page says:

If, and only if:
- the private mount passphrase is in their kernel keyring, and
- the current user owns both...

There are a couple of users on this machine. Sometimes if a user (who has an encrypted home) logs out, even though the X session is no longer available, root (sudo) can still access the encrypted...

Whew just got it to work without having to set the hardware clock to local time.
date --set='date and time in UTC' --utc
hwclock --systohc --utc Now when I reboot the clock is correct. Both of...

Thanks Jimysbil. That's a solution. Just that I'm still surprised that it was working perfectly for months, then only broke after I set it to a different city. Would be nice not to have to set ubuntu...

I had set the time manually when I installed xenial back in April and it was working just fine. Then I went out of town for a while and temporarily set the time manually to the new time zone. While...

Thanks again. Unfortunately I don't know if the ISP (which would in my case be the router I would guess) is blocking attempts from outside to port 22. I sort of think they are, just from reading the...

Hmm @deadflowr I guess you deleted the newer thread. I can understand why but tbh I'd prefer that one to this because this gives the wrong impression that I'm asking about containers when I don't...

I asked this in general help, but probably this is a better place to ask. And there I was too long winded.

Somehow openssh-server got installed more than a month ago, openssh-client too. Maybe...

Thanks again @TheFu, but I've removed all the lxd stuff. Not interested in containers. I'm not asking about them at all.

What I'm trying to understand is whether or not the *default* settings for...

Thanks @TheFu. I'll go read your link now.

But I want to point out that I explicitly enabled password authentication ONLY inside the containers I was trying out, never on the laptop----but I...

Somehow openssh-server and openssh-client were installed more than a month ago. Perhaps it was installed either by lxd or by x2go client, when I was trying containers. I have since deleted all the...

Thanks @mörgæs. I was thinking the same. Trusty was working just fine, but I installed it after it had been out for a few months. These various problems with xenial are hopefully being solved. I'll...

Thanks @runrickus for those tips. As you say it beats restarting.

Occasionally the audio just mutes, volume all the way down. There's no way (that I know of) to get it out of that state except for a reboot, which is not so nice. It seems to happen somewhat...

No it's not quite solved. Still occasionally boots to a blank/black screen. Less often than before definitely. But not entirely solved yet. :-(

Too early to tell if it's really solved. I want to try several boots before doing that.

I tried the nvidia driver and enabled the intel microcode driver too (don't know what that does). It's definitely better. Thanks @sudodus for the suggestion!

Audacity still has issues starting up...

Thanks for your comments. I do need the low-latency kernel I would say because I do work in sound/music/audio. As for the nvidia driver: I haven't tried that with xenial. I was using the nvidia...

Many many thanks.

I should add that there are some other symptoms that may be related. There seem to be some issues with the OS starting applications, for example sometimes when I boot the...

Hello @mörgæs are you still checking this thread?? Sorry for the long delay! If you are still there and still wouldn't mind helping then I can post that. I thought to ask first though, to see if you...

Often when booting (maybe 20% or 25% of the time) the process goes almost all the way but before showing the login box it seems to get stuck and shows only a black screen. Unfortunately the only...

@deadflowr: explicitly setting UPDT_ON_OS_CHANGE to 0 seems to have fixed that. Thanks again for the tip that led to that. Seems like an rkhunter bug because it's supposed to use the default but...

Thank you both for your answers! @habitual: I installed it using synaptic. @deadflowr: thanks; I checked and in rkhunter.conf for my version of rkhunter 1.4.2 there's no variable called APT_AUTOGEN....

This is insane: for some reason every time I install anything with synaptic or on the command line with apt-get install at the end of that install process rkhunter is run, apparently it's running...

Figured it out. In case it helps anybody else: under Settings Manager->Session and Startup->Application Autostart tab turn off Screen Locker (the package is called light locker I do believe).
