Title says it all. 'Bye.
I received this nastygram from QIII two days ago:
Dear ml9104,
You have received an infraction at Ubuntu Forums.
Reason: Culturally insensitive insult
-------
"Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I don't see how my sig opens any questions."
It shows Lubuntu 18.04
That's why.
First, are you running Ubuntu or Lubuntu? Your signature opens questions.
Second: are your storage1...3 separate or even external drives? With ExFAT you're in a bad position and will probably need...
Seems the "azure" repository has a problem. Try switching to a different server.
I've changed/added your "Categories=" lines as marked in red. Note that a "Main" catagory must always be included as in the link I posted.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=MPLAB IDE
Comment=IDE for...
Your Categories are wrong/missing. These are extremely important, as they are the basis for the desktop when building the Favorites menu during login.
Only certain standardized ones are permitted,...
That's the first time I've ever heard that...
First, for some obscure security reasons, Hibernate is disabled on all variants of Ubuntu. You'll need to install and set it up first.
Second, I'm running Lubuntu which has a different desktop....
Yes, fine. I'me aware of the intricacies with Dell.
But how on earth would Ubuntu run a .exe file? And the OP has not indicated that he/she has gone through such a dialog at all.
Linux, Ubuntu or any of the flavors will never update/change your BIOS. It's physically not possible.That Dell has built some online update mechanism into the BIOS is highly unlikely.
I think you're...
I'm not certain you read the link I posted. The point is this one:
"A Persistent install extracts the OS from a compressed file and saves data to an overlay file or partition each session"
If...
Unless you do a full install to your USB, the OS will be extracted and written to the USB on every session. BTW, 3 GB is painfully little and probably useless....
Nothing strange about your USB behaviour.
1: USB reading: very fast
2: USB writing: very fast until the built-in RAM buffer is full. The buffer is perhaps 4...16 MB, not much more. Then it gets...
OK.
So the Lubuntu version you have is 18.04 (LXDE desktop) or 18.10 (LXQt desktop).
The .iso is hopefully downloaded from the archives of lubuntu.me and NOT from lubuntu.net, which is a...
With a 32-bit machine you're in a bad spot.
All Ubuntu dialects are out.
I believe debian is still an option, but am not knowledgeable there.
Just to put a few facts on that one (Lubuntu 20.04 LTS):
RAM usage after boot: around 320 MB total.
Adding Brave browser with five tabs: around 900 MB total.
Unless you're doing LTSpice...
Lubuntu will run fine on 2 GB and 1.6 GHz, you'll have boot times of around 80 seconds. If you're in a position to replace the HDD with an SSD, this will be around 4...5 times faster.
In that case we're down to:
1: system backup (eg, Timeshift).
2: brute force deletion of some old kernels and initrd using rm.
I actually don't think it would create problems. The old files are...
Wow! That's a lot of deadwood. This my ls -la /boot:
macro@macro-pc:~$ ls -la /boot
total 209196
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 20 22:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Jan 5 21:58 .....
Seconded.
@1fallen: good link and exactly what I had to do myself to get hibernate to work. Main difference, I never got it to work properly, though. Using a Swap partition on the other hand turned out to be ...
I'm confused. Why not just plug your USB keyboard into a USB socket? You have eight of them.
(x)ubuntu has four power states:
- Normal operation
- Suspend: system state is kept in RAM and the rest of the system is powered down. This still needs power, but way less than when operating
-...
That's the smallest thing that Canonical has done. And that's done more by the developers.
Canonical's made the effort to offer a comprehensive, consumer-friendly OS collected/comprised from...
