Does anyone know how to get this to work?

The driver rt2800usb is loaded.

Here is part of dmesg showing the problem:


[45648.946427] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 69 using...

Thank you. But I am back to square one, I'm afraid. I installed Chromium from a different PPA, and it worked nicely without snapd, but then came another software update of chromium, I clicked update,...

Thank you. I removed snapd from my system. Now the question is: How do I install the non-snapd version of the chromium browser? If I just type sudo apt install chromium-browser, it reinstalls snapd...

I recently upgraded Xubuntu to 20.04, and since then, discovered that the harddrive is working constantly. It turns out, the reason is that I now have snapd versions of many applications, and this is...

I have done the new install now, and it's working. But the problem I have now is typical of what I want to avoid: I can't log in as root in mysql (to restore from backup). I have tried two different...

I understand. Well, my question was what the pros and cons are, and it seems to me that the pros and cons of doing a new install are that the system will work without problems but that it involves a...

Excellent. I'm going through the links now. For me, it's of special concern to keep my mysql databases intact, and they are located under /var .

I have Xubuntu 17.10 and want to upgrade it to version 18.04 LTS. Should I use the upgrade procedure, or do a completely new install?

I have made a backup of the entire / partition as well as the...

I have a Dell Vostro 5370 with Xubuntu 17.10 installed. An external harddrive of the type Maxtor M3 is connected, and recognized as a USB 3.0 device with the driver xhci_hcd, but the computer is not...

I see your point. Given that my computer works well in most other respects, I think I'll just wait for 18.04.

Do you think this problem would have been fixed in a rolling release distro like Arch...

I have been upgrading. From 16.04 to 17.04. Then from 17.04 to 17.10.


Yes, and it is the newest version.

I have now tried adding the Indicator Plugin as described in previous posts. What it did was add an indicator for Thunderbird (which I don't use). But there still is no audio volume button or...

I have searched the internet for answers, and there are many people with ideas of how to tinker with Xubuntu, but I want to know how Xubuntu developers envisaged it. How should the audio volume...

Why do you want to change, if I may ask? (I use Xubuntu and also upgraded to 17.10.)

If you are absolutely certain that other directory trees than home don't contain anything that you need, you can do that. In my experience, most users don't have such good habits (myself included).

I had some problems in the past upgrading so I try to stick to the LTS versions, but your message made me want to try upgrading.

Update as to my problem: I believe it is related to an HDMI screen...

Yes, what it shows is that the same kind of problem was ignored in the past, so it's about time to address this issue in 16.04.

Thank you.

Do you have any idea how to diagnose the poweroff problem? If you do a search on ubuntuforums, you will see that there have been a lot of reports of problems with the shutdown /...

I have a fully up to date Xubuntu 16.04 which hangs on poweroff, after killing all the processes. The last message was about stopping KVM virtualization. After I saw that I turned off virtualization...

Hi forum,

My Ubuntu 16.04 started showing an error message after an update of some of its software. I searched around using the phrases in the error message and could see that some others have had...

Hi,

I have the same sound card and have the same experiences. There should be a real solution for this sound card, to make the subwoofer work as intended, not as "rear right" or somthing. To be...

No, that didn't work, but thanks for the effort.

The other issue I have with network-manager is connection bonding, which is one of the options to choose from in the menu, but isn't properly...

The last problem is with using a Ralink RT2870 usb wireless card and trying to set a specific (cloned) mac address. Whenever I do this (tested against many different routers), the wireless device...

Are there any alternatives to network-manager?

I have several issues with it, and if there's an alternative application, I would rather switch to that, than begin investigating why it's not...
