When printing from Ubuntu 20.04 to my HP J4680 printer, fonts are rendered with a sort of shadow effect (see pic; left printed with Mac, right Ubuntu). Printing the same documents from my Mac show...
LOL :)
Replacing it isn't the hard part; I have a new one ready to go.
I was just hoping to keep another electronic device out of a landfill a little while longer. But 32-bit systems are...
D'oh! I so rarely use that machine that I'd totally forgotten about the shorter EOL for flavors. Thank you for the reminder. VERY helpful.
I could convert it to use Ubuntu Server, but is there...
Thank you for chiming in. Yes, I have tried setting up new settings in NM for both static (preferred) and DHCP (usually easiest). NM has no problem even recognizing the NIC's MAC, but no go on...
One of my machines here is an old Lenovo Q100 nettop, and after an in-place upgrade from Lubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 the Ethernet networking no longer works.
I've done quite a few web searches, but the...
Good thought. I'll keep an eye on that. Thanks!
Thanks to both of you for the quick replies. Halogen2, I'd not heard of Firefox ESR before but tried it and it was a quick and easy solution - thank you! Marking "solved"....
Setup:
Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit)
Firefox 52.0 (32-bit)
I have a client that uses Juniper Connect for their VPN, and after much trial-and-error a couple years ago I finally got it set up well with...
After applying the fix I noted above and then waiting a couple days, both servers now reboot normally. Given that this was an intermittent problem I can't be sure there's not some bug lying in wait...
Update after 24 hours of server idle: yesterday I had applied the fix to the Grub file as described in my OP here, and waiting overnight before trying a reboot. Worked, on both machines.
Given...
Since these are experimental systems I decided to got for it and follow the advice outlined in the URL I linked to above, adding "acpi=force reboot=acpi" to /etc/default/grub.
So far the system...
Thanks for the reply, Darko. I fully agree about LTS, and would have preferred to use 14.04 but I found the installer wasn't recognizing my keyboard on those two machines, and 15.10 was the only...
I have an issue with two servers: sometimes they will reboot, but sometimes they hang during the shutdown phase of reboot.
I've tried using the following:
sudo reboot
sudo shutdown -r now
sudo...
It may be an easy-to-fix bug in the app. My (admittedly limited) understanding of how the global menu bar works is that when an app defines its menus using the standard Qt or GTK methods, Unity will...
Firefox has been super stable for me. I'd use it exclusively if I could run Netflix with it.
I've had periods of many years using mostly Mac, then mostly Windows, and in recent years mostly Ubuntu. For the last year I've been using Ubuntu almost exclusively. With the clean simplicity of...
Malcolm Gladwell suggests the distance between noobie and master in any field is about 10,000 hours. In some areas it's okay to be merely competent, so just a few hundred hours may suffice. But to...
As entire OS is a lot of work. Perhaps you might start with one corner of it and see how that goes. A file manager would be relatively easy to do, and you could use high-level tools like Python,...
Ive been very pleased with InterServer, and their scalable pricing for VPS slices.
A little company called Dreamhost switched over the summer - with some 20,000 servers:

And I switched the...
I don't know anything about the comic, but I believe the symbol is a Gankyil:

Respectfully, I see nothing wrong in raising the bar with reasonable expectations. There's a place for WYSIWYG HTML editors, and the fact is that there isn't a single one in the Ubuntu Software...
If you want a game changer, write apps. Any OS is ultimately just an app launcher; app define the scope of what we can do with an OS.
There are many apps that are Win-only, and often a reason...
The original question here was stated as: "Is Canonical trying to do too much too soon?"
Perhaps a more relevant question might be: "Are other OS vendors trying to do too little too late?"
