    We seem to be straying away for command line solutions here, so, another way to create a bootable live usb drive, is to use Disks->Restore disk image, there's no persistence, but at least it's more reliable than than the current boot disk creation utility.

    This is the best current sudo command to get snappy working in a kvm:

    Code:
    dale@ventrical-MS-7798:~/Downloads$ kvm -m 512 -redir :8090::80 -redir :8022::22 ubuntu-15.04-snappy-amd64+generic.img

    jbicha mentioned to put this in a sticky post. Not sure if this is the right place as there does not seem to be a fix for it.

    It has to do with unattended - upgrades and apt-update-service taking a long time in bootup sequence.
    The bugs are being worked on.

    Here is one link:

    https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread....9#post13582859

    and here is the bug posted by harry:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...t/+bug/1686470

    It looks like it is being worked on.

    ..so stand by..

    regards..

    Here is a sudo helper for upgrading from 17.04 to 17.10 from wgarcia .


    I just updgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 from 17.04, and of course after restart I got gdm3 and only the option to start the Gnome desktop. To go back to Unity I had to issue
    Code:
    sudo dkpg-reconfigure lightdm
    to set up lightdm again as manager, and there I had the option to start Unity, which was still configured exactly as I left it in 17.04. The only bug I got so far is:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...s/+bug/1703046

    So now I'm in the ship of testing Unity along Gnome in 17.10.

    Re: Commonly Used Sudo Commands for (*)Ubuntu/Unity Crash Recovery

    There has been lots of problems with nvidia/gdm during 17.10 cycle, freezing on plymouth . etc.. Here is a workaround that worked for me:

    We have been having lots of problems with RC and beta etc on PCs with nVidia.

    Here is what I did as workaround/fix. I downgraded my nVidia card (changed it) to see if there was hardware problem.

    1.Start the PC that has just had the daily/current hard installed.
    2. Hold down the shift key while booting.
    2.(a) Wait for Grub screen.
    2.(b) Choose <advanced options> THEN
    2.(c) Choose Recovery option.
    3.Wait till all verbose code runs.
    4 .Click "resume". Don't do anything!
    5. Wait for reboot. It may boot into weird gdm resolution with no gdm Cog-Wheel.
    6.Enter password and it should load up ubuntu on xorg. (it did on mine because old nVidia does not support wayland)
    7. There might be fuzzy resolution. Don't worry about it.
    8. Restart from panel.
    9. Go through normal boot and it should boot up to gdm screen with proper resolution.
    10. Log on and you will have proper resolution of gnome desktop.

    You will notice that it loaded with the old vesa driver which is just too awesome!

    my old nVidia card on gnome3 with xorg.

    Regards..

    Bump:

    For 18.04 cycle.

    1. This command is used to auto edit the sources.list file on a previous install and could be considered as a first step to converting to Trusty Tahr. However this and other commands may be moot after Alpha .iso are released. You can still play it safe and test the kernels but breakage may occur nonetheless.
    Code:
         sudo sed -i 's/artful/bionic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
    2. This command will update your repositories to BB.
    Code:
         sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    3.This command is inclusive in #2. but is always good to run after removing or purging stuff.
    Code:
         sudo apt-get update
    4.This command is also included in #2. and upgrades any new files that are set in the repositories.
    Code:
         sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    Regards..

    P-I-H shares with us that this is an easier way to upgrade to new develoment cycle, avoiding software-properties-gtk crash.

    Code:
    sudo sed -i 's/artful/bionic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
    sudo sed -i 's/artful/bionic/g' /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo reboot

    Regards..
