Thank you for your quick reply Perfect Storm! So, am I to understand that Vulkan is included in the NVidia proprietary driver package? When I tried to invoke the diagnostic stuff (glxinfo,...
Hi all,
I have been pulling my hair our trying to make sense of these "Vulkan" drivers (which I understand to be an update to OpenGL...?), and what I need to do to use them. I just found that...
Hi all,
I noticed that my /home/user/.cache folder is growing significantly, mostly due to the vmware subfolder (which is not automatically cleaned upon exit...?!?). My question is, is it safe to...
You guys are awesome... Thank you! I looked in my home (/home/Mongo) directory, and the only root-owned files are a backup I made of the .bashrc file prior to adding a new user prompt, and the ".."...
Hi all,
I have a general question concerning the use of sudo to invoke a graphical application from the command line with root privileges. From my reading, I find that that the use of sudo with a...
^^^ Thank you... I thought as much. I built my home system from scratch, so everything was at generic settings and would accept Ubuntu with no issues. I am not so well versed in Bios specifics, so...
Hi all,
I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Dell laptop, and am trying to verify everything BEFORE blowing away the Windows 10 OS already on there. So, I booted into the "try before you install"...
Hi all,
After a failed attempt to regress my kernel back to version 4.4 (generic), I re-built my Ubuntu box (ver 16.04.2) from the ground up, and the default kernel is 4.8. I run multiple VMs...
Thanks, DuckHook! I am now looking at regressing back to kernel 4.4, and staying pat there for the time being. My understanding is that it has all of the functionality I need, and I can still...
Hi all,
I am faced with an upgrade problem, in that the latest kernel broke VMWare Workstation 12 (Ubuntu 16.04 host). After upgrading from kernel version 4.10 to 4.13, VMWare would no longer...

Sorry for the delay. I checked my fstab file, and all seems to be in order. When I initially modified the fstab to add several external partitions to automount on boot, I made a small error in the...
Hi all,
I am currently running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (I'm the other person on the planet who likes Unity), and just upgraded the kernel over the weekend. The upgrade was from v4.10 to 4.13. As...
Just happened again, and this time I was able to open a command shell and get the docs you asked for (I had to zip them for size):

Thanks!
Well, since my last post, it has happened twice, and always on starting the GUI (not on shutdown). Weird thing is that neither time the <ctrl>-<alt>-<F1> combo would get me to a login prompt. Both...
Well, I made it 4 days without a problem, but it just hung again. Restarting with Your instructions is a lifesaver, but I would like to fix the problem once and for all. I attached a truncated...
OK, it happened again this morning (it hung while the desktop was loading post-password entry). As suggested, I hit <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<F1>, which brought up a command line. I was then able to shut down...
Thank you for your direction, DuckHook...:) It has only hung a few times on the splash screen, and when it does not I don't see it anyway (well, maybe a flash). My system drive is an SSD, so it...
Hi all,
I am somewhat new to the whole Linux thing (I got fed up with dealing with Microsoft), so I am just a little lost. I have been using Ubuntu 16.04LTS for a couple of months flawlessly, and...
