No, it's not. The Ubuntu images have the HWE version of linux-generic installed by default. It only became apparent when the 5.8 series kernel rolled out. The other flavors are not effected:

More subscribers and marking it as effecting you too will turn up the heat. No heat - no fix.
I'm still gathering data as time allows. This appears to be limited to Ubuntu only. I didn't check all of the flavors but for Ubuntu MATE, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu have linux-generic on their...
In deed. I checked the .iso manifests this morning and both 20.04 and 20.04.1 show linux-generic-hwe-20.04, but the Beta shows linux-generic. This was clearly a mistake based on all the support...
I'm reasonably certain that this was a screw-up. Besides the link I included with my message to ubuntu-release this link reaffirms that:

I asked about this at ubuntu-release:

That was the 9th, in the wee hours of the morning. So far no response. I maintain...
Ditto!

Not ALL hardware is effected, but it is for sure a bum kernel update!
I maintain a fairly large number of PC's and I've gotten about 25 calls today. In my case most because of broken Broadcom wifi drivers. I'm really steamed that they jumped from the 5.4 version kernel...
Try booting an earlier (older) kernel. To display grub boot menu either press (and hold) Esc (for EFI systems) or Shift (for non-EFI systems) right at the moment the BIOS screen disappears. Then...
I used to use a local "copy-center" for my printing. It was much cheaper for the very limited amount of printing I did even then. Now I seldom need to print more than a few pages every three to four...
Check out the reviews for the appropriate ink cartridges for each printer. I've so far stuck with HP, but HPLIP support seems to have slipped quite a bit so I frequently have to rely on my one Win 10...
I think Microsoft is ever-so-slowly becoming more open to FOSS as an ally rather than a foe that must be conquered. Then again maybe I'm just an optimist :)
I haven't tried it in Linux yet but I've set up Edge browser in a few Win 10 PC's and I find it almost indistinguishable from Chrome after importing everything from an existing Chrome browser. I've...
The biggest problem I've encountered in such a situation is if the new mobo is UEFI and the old mobo was not. In that case there is no real option other than to start with a fresh install and...
I've only encountered one actual bug with Mate 20.04:

There does seem to be kind of an ongoing trend among most Linux distros...
BTW, don't share you address or other personal info on the forum! If you decide you want some of these sticks of RAM click on my userID (kansasnoob) and select private message.
I personally think it would be well worth upgrading to 2GB RAM if you could get someone to find a matched set of 1GB sticks on Ebay or something of that nature.
But even with 1GB you may be able...
It typically doesn't need to be added directly into startup apps so I'd first try:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel
Then either reboot or logout and back in. If the output of that command...

I spent a lot of time in dconf-editor but hadn't...
Those settings were correct, so no joy :(
Thanks. That's certainly a thought. Since as it is I seem to be getting the splash screen I've even considered changing that ............. something in 'plymouth' I think????
The latest daily seems to have my Latitude's sorted out. First boot OK, second boot OK, and trying in yet another laptop it's still good so I'd call that "sorted out".
That's a bit worrisome to me. Some of these older Intel boards I'm using offer the UEFI boot option but it's such an early version of UEFI it's really just junk. Like DG43xx and DB43xx which are...
