https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcXCYCaLh1I -> 2018 - the current situation is pretty much the same which isn't, at all, surprising, because the amdgpu driver is open source but developed by AMD...

Quoting from the OP:
Clearly nothing to do with the update itself. Probably a drive failure or is about to fail.

Ubuntu and any major Linux distro already have amdgpu which usually is ONLY what users need. No additional user action needed and it works beautifully. Of course, you you have a brand new AMD card...

Unless the exact update happened "across the board" (it didn't) then it couldn't.

Welcome.

I suggest you start by googling and understanding about Kerberos/LDAP (and Debian/Ubuntu).
Then feel free to post your questions/doubts.

No, you didn't.

Again, RAM is NOT drive space or partitions. Gparted reads, shows and allows management of DRIVES, not RAM.

But please do post (as attachment) a screenshoot of Gparted showing...

Welcome.

Why do you think you need the proprietary overlay? The open source amdgpu is already installed by default and it works even with Secure Boot enabled, unlike the unnecessary driver that...

Right... But you should know, at least, the very basics of hardware specifications of the machine where you're running "the software".

How do you know you should have 6GB RAM? Macs of that vintage...

What you describe is very unlikely related with updates, especially considering the same problem occurs in different kernels and releases.

Maybe the drive is failing?

Welcome.

First of all, at first glance you're making a huge confusion about RAM (Random Access Memory). It has nothing to do with partitions, it's made of physical modules and when and if it can...

It may.
Modern UEFI hardware requires UEFI mode for correct hardware initialization. Using Legacy in 2021 is an absurd. Why did you think it was a good idea? Legacy mode is for old BIOS machines....

Welcome.

It has to be a very weird onboard audio device to not be recognized by the current Ubuntu. But there are other problems, at least the HDMI audio output should work, it's totally...

A device from 2009 that by now still isn't supported it will never be.
Old code won't work with newer kernels.

Try opening Additional drivers. If there are drivers/firmware for that old card...

I meant the output should be to a device - sdb, assuming this is correct -, not to a partition, sdb2.

But you can use a tool for safer results. Using DD and sending it to the wrong drive will...

It needs to be a device, not a partition.

It's possible the cards and/or the reader are defective.
I would test the cards in a different computer if available. Also they may need to be formatted again.

Don't forget to disable Secure Boot.

So try the proprietary drivers...
Why would a sane person want a gaming laptop with at a GTX1050, GTX1650 or GTX1660TI and NOT install the Nvidia drivers?

And while there are many reasons to...

What "operation in progress" is that, exactly?
I mean does the message show up when you insert the card or after trying to copy something?

Only the user already in sudoers can add another with the same level of permissions.

Does it prevent booting?
If not, you can ignore it.

Never heard of such problem. Always installed the available deb in 64-bit system and it just worked.
Freezing is most likely related to insufficient hardware, namely graphics.

Leave Secure Boot off or alternatively manually sign all the Virtualbox modules/drivers. Considering the latter is not for newbies, it's time consuming and for no tangible benefit, better disable it...

Welcome.



Yes, it is.


*-display UNCLAIMED
Indicates just that, lack of drivers.
It should be running with Intel drivers that are opens source and installed automatically. Why they...

Driver version is correct for the Quadro M2200 Mobile. Hopefully you didn't made too much experiments without deleting the previous versions as that can create compatibility issues.

Now, you...
