After
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
I get a window with "System program problem detected".
Are there log files somewhere?

Thank you !

Did you find a way to make this run at login? I tried adding to the end of ~/.profile but it did not work.

My apologies for replying to my own post. The code:

If I found a XRandR command that worked how would I make this run at login?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Amazing. Just upgraded to 20.04 and using the NVIDIA driver 440 driver with one landscape and one portrait monitor. I have similar behavior. I hope someone has insights or suggestions for us.

A new install fails to discover wifi networks. Turning networking and wireless off then on sometimes lets SSIDs become visible. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Yes, I do mean just have one machine. I am having trouble seeing why separate machines for front and back end are helpful in my setting.

I would like to build a single machine that is like a PVR rather than having a front end and back end machine. Can I do this with Ubuntu and Kodi? Would it be also be possible just using Mythbuntu? I...

I've been in the habit of doing a clean install. Is that unnecessary?
I would welcome an opinion about upgrade in place vs clean install.

Hi:
I've would like to make the move to 16.04 and install the same apps as I have been using in 14.04. Is there an automated way to do this?
Thanks,

sudo lshw -C network

Just to clarify. Are you suggesting I boot 14.04 from a USB, perform the updates on the live version, then use the install to HD link?
Thank you for continuing to work with me on this.
