So, after trying this (after days of procrastinating) my PC froze up midway through an update and I couldn't get back in due to some kernel error. I knew I'd likely need to do it eventually, so I...

I figured 340 was necessary since (A) the choices given via the terminal output from before ($ ubuntu-drivers devices) as well as the choices in the Software and Updates menu, and also (B) I was...

Unfortunately I was not aware of this, so no.

I looked it up and following this guide, I encountered some problems:

Thanks! I tried it and here's the output:

I just upgraded to 18.04 today from 17.10. When attempting to play Divinity: Original Sin, the game crashed on startup (it worked just fine yesterday). After googling, I found this thread with some...

Thanks! Things are running smoother now.

For future reference, there isn't some magical way to use an old ppa source is there? Like in an instance such as this using 17.04 instead of 17.10?

I'm running a fresh install of 17.10 and when I try to apt-get update, I'm getting this (and I think it's keeping me from installing other software -_-).


kymus@Sanxing:~$ sudo apt-get update...

I decided to try something different and unplug the drives, reboot, and then plug them in. Things are fine now. Marking thread as solved.

Here's the terminal copy and paste:

addendum to my original post, though it may be obvious:

Usually I will see the icon for these drives in the launcher (and then I just click to mount). Presently, the icon is not showing.

I just...

Hi Yancek,

I doubt it matters at all, but they're not flash drives, they are (large) external drives connected via USB.

I'll have to check the BIOS. That is a good point. As for manual...

After a reboot. They were working fine prior to that.

This has happened before, and generally I just click the icon in the launcher, and it mounts and everything is fine. Nope, not this time.

Well this is interesting. Things are fine now o_O.

Some details:

I ran sudo apt-get install nvidia-346, and halfway through there was an error popup and my system froze. REISUB, tried again....

Ok, this is a bit out of my level of experience, but I installed htop and tried searching for nvidia and nvidia-persisted. This may be an incorrect assumption, but I do not think it is running as the...

Hi Temüjin, thank you for the input.

In trying to identify the id of the process, the poster says to do ps -e | grep nvidia-persistenced, but after running that line, nothing happens (literally)...

This is the error I get when I open Steam.

Background:

XCOM: Enemy Unknown was crashing repeatedly during a certain part, and the devs said to "upgrade/install xorg edgers ppa and nvidia 340.17...

*fingers crossed* I think everything is good.

Ran the update via terminal. Things went smooth. I did notice a few error reports in the process:



There were strings of text between the errors...

I exited the upgrade, ran software updater, and it is not notifying me of any available upgrades (just a flash update). I checked the settings and it was previously set to only notify me of LTS...

My data is backed up, thanks for making sure :)

Now.. just to make sure I understand you 100%.... I should exit out of the upgrade, and then re-run an update from the USB, I assume? (suggestions...

Is there a way in which I can possibly prevent system damage at present?

The system is - or seems to be - fully functional at the present. I am very concerned that if I attempt a reboot that what...

Thanks for the input. I'll have to stick to USB-based upgrades for now, I suppose.

That's it for the next 48hrs now :). I am using a wireless connection; not much choice at the moment due to where my computer is situated in the house (an entire floor above the location of the modem...

My appologies. I edited the screenshot via GIMP and didn't think to change the format. I'll fix that in a moment

Yesterday I started to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 from 13.10.

As luck would have it, progress halted in the middle of the upgrade and has remained the same for the past 10 hours. The last time this...
