Hello All,

Unfortunately, I just realized that I posted on this same problem about a year ago. As I recall, there was no solution then. Maybe there is now??

I just did a clean install of Ubuntu...

OP Follow-up: I implied that I wouldn't be entering BIOS for maybe a year! Ha! Ha! I spoke too soon. I read the BIOS part of the mb manual and found a QR code to another more detailed manual. Sure...

Ubuntu 22.04.04 LTS Pro

I wiill read mb manual to see if there is a secure boot option. I went through all UEFI BIOS settings and don't remember this option. And if I did install with Secure Boot...

I did not change any settings when I installed Ubuntu, so UEFI update and reset should not be an issue.

I'm confused about "boot mode and install; both should be UEFI." When I enter BIOS it is...

This is an update to my troubleshooting steps:

(1) I said that the Q-LED's on the mb indicated steps in the boot process. This is incorrect. I revisited the mb manual. These LED lights are...

Happy to see you are still around @oldfred! Thanks much for your many leads. I will follow up.

Hello All,

This mb is out of the case on an anti-static mat. The mb has a power button and lights to indicate stages in the boot process.

A new issue suddendly appeared: Upon power on, the OS...

Good idea. I will investigate.

Hello All,

For those who have availed themselves of right-clicking on a folder and being able to select one of several colors, I'm sure you are familiar with the PPA: costales which has been...

These are not bugs! These are new features that, in my estimation, represent a step back and seriously impede work flow.

What scares me is that the complaints I've noted may not be temporary problems but new and permanent features of this OS iteration. Workspaces is a disaster. I spent half an hour trying to figure out...

Yeah, "Store," "App Center," "Ubuntu Software," it's all the same, call it what you wish. Whatever happens to be the latest name, it's the new GUI repository that's the new "go to" after Synaptic.

Thanks. Maybe so. But this is a non-issue in 22.04.3 LTS, which I've now installed and configured.

Hello All,

I’m posting at the “water cooler” because I don’t have a specific problem to resolve but just want to make some comments about the next STL Ubuntu iteration 23.10, due on October 12.
...

The matter is resolved. I tried a different .iso in a virtual machine and had no Dropbox issues. The problem must have been unique to that particular install or it would have failed again. For this...

Thank you ror this. Unfortunately the kill command has no effect on the problem. I wasn't sure if I should effect the command when dropbox was running (by default) or not, so I tried it both ways,...

Hello All,

Dropbox runs properly on 23.04 but fails because the systray icon is unclickable--no response, no menu window, no access to Preferences, Selective Sync, Move Dropbox Folder, etc. That...

Thanks! Problem solved! Between the other member's susggestion (MUO link) and Spins, this gives lots of options. I really like the MATE-Compiz spin.

Between your MUO link and Fedora Spins (per another member), this solves my problem! Thank you! I really like the "spin" MATE-Compiz.

Hello All,

For those who Fedora is your primary OS, pardon my ignorance if that be the case!

I have been using Ubuntu since Dapper Drake. I tried the above distro in a virtual machine. To my...

OP: PROBLEM SOLVED! It was a long shot but from terminal I upgraded to the next iteration, Hirsute Hippo, and my problem disappeared! I guess that whatever was corrupted was replaced. So now we have...

Hello All,

Running Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

Background to current problem (which may or may not relate):
Desktop objects sometimes disappear; re-appear on re-boot

My question is: Is there a...

This helps. Thank you for clarifying.

It does help, thank you. For unknown reasons, my error message disappeared after several reboots. "ls" confirms Download intact.

When I CLI
/home/username/Downloads "Downloads" does not exist. Google search mentions use of blueman-services, but I cannot find any clear statement of problem or resoltion.

Your help...
