What I would try first would be to download any official maintenance manual you can find. I can't speak to HP, my experience is with Thinkpads. I'm pretty sure those maintenance manuals have a...
Does x2go work with Wayland? My understanding that the lack of remote desktop viewer is one of the shortcomings of Wayland. I don't need a remote desktop viewer right now but my system likes Wayland...
If you have Windows install media, you could boot that and I think you should be offered a repair option. Failing that you could create a Windows recovery drive. There are plenty of directions on...
I wonder if this is an effort to make Ubuntu more acceptable in the enterprise. Home users/hobbyists want access to most parts of their operating system. Enterprise sysadmins certainly DO NOT want...
Machine is a Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 3. I bought it off Ebay. The battery was getting tired so I looked at Ebay offerings where I've had good luck in the past. No, the battery may not be as good as a...
One thing in this thread that got my attention. OP mentioned WEP when talking about network connections. I certainly hope that was a typo or brain cramp.
I don't have to use the ISP's device, I do own a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, no router. I do like the ISP's Gateway for its WiFi which is why I didn't set it to Bridge Mode. I thought there is some...
I'm making some changes in my network and would like opinions on how you would set it up. To start:
Cable internet 200/10. That seems slow but there's just me and I'm not a heavy user; no games,...
To quote Henry Ford "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right". There's a fair bit of evidence that being mentally active and challenged has a positive effect on one's mental...
I have a couple flatpaks installed on otherwise stock 22.04. Everything updates as expected. I do get a notice that snap updates are due but I haven't had to manually intervene in the process. I do...
I'll make a couple other suggestions. If your distro doesn't have it by default (many do) install "system-config-printer" Summon it either from the command box (alt-F2) or a terminal. It gives you a...
Another advantage of the terminal for me is support. With a GUI it's click here, click there, copy/paste, click OK, am I sure? ad nauseum. What's that? I'm using Gnome desktop, you're using MATE...
Same setup, ethernet from the router and static I.P. assigned to the printer. I've never had an incident where the printer was not found upon sending a print job, which seems to be a common...
Check the prospective printer's support info, see if there are Linux drivers available. You may well not need them, see TheFu's post but if there are Linux drivers available I see that as a good...
I'll also recommend Brother. If you go Brother, when you first get it, don't install any drivers or software. Just connect the cables and try to print & scan. That worked for me with a MFC-J 4535DW...
Another source for Wine compatibility info is CrossOver by CodeWeavers (codeweavers.com). I know nothing about them except they exist and they charge for their products but they do have a 14 day...
There's one other thing to be aware of re hibernate. Hibernate requires a swap partition. Ubuntu used to create a swap partition as part of the installation by default. A few releases ago - 2 or 3? -...
I'm using dual desktop monitors but I assume the procedure would be the same. No need to edit or create any files. This is using the default Ubuntu desktop
- Click the top right corner
- Settings...
How is the reliability of hibernate these days? It used to be pretty unreliable which is why it was dropped from the power menu. That was some years ago though. Personally with SSDs a cold boot is...
I just buy AMD/ATI pulls off Ebay. I don't know what version of OpenGL they support, they work fine for office type work. I've never messed with advanced graphic/video editing or gaming so can't help...
This is my speculation only but I wonder if one reason for snaps is Canonical's effort to get proprietary software vendors like Adobe or Intuit to release their wares for Ubuntu. One of the big...
I view any Ubuntu release except LTS as a development release. I don't know if Canonical does but 9 months support rather than 5 (or 10) years support should be indicative. I am running 22.04.x on...
I did an in-place upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04. I don't usually do that but figured I'd live dangerously. I could re-install with little difficulty. Every thing went well and I did get a warning about...
It might also be worth your while to look thru the repositories for Thinkpad specific packages. I have older Thinkpads and installed one that enabled the alternate function keys like media player key...
