Anyone with a Linux distro on a USB flash drive can gain access outside the system you installed, so the root password is meaningless. 99% of the world will never look.

The point of livepatch is that new kernels can be installed and used without any reboot needed.

Technology like this has actually existed on IBM Mainframes since the early 1980s. It really came...

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. BTW, I don't patch more than weekly to limit interrupting in productivity. Sometimes the first patch released breaks things and they have to rush a new patch out. ...

Core i3 3rd gen is what HP pulls up. Really can't be THAT old - perhaps 2012-2014. I had an i3- 5th gen from 2015 (Toshiba CB35), but it was FAST. I'd still be using it today if some of the...

If that old hardware has USB3 ports, maybe running all your Linux off a USB Flash drive would make more sense? Some distros have that method of running built-in for people who don't want to have...

File corruption can happen for thousands of reasons. It has always been possible since HDDs were first created in the 1960s.

The only file system that validates what the computer sent to the disk...

I don't know.

I do know that I updated 3 22.04 servers this weekend and all of them had the file created. I have a tiny script that just looks for that file and tells me that a reboot is needed...

Typically, all my 24.04 installs have taken 10-15 minutes, not counting time where I was looking up answers. The last install, where I knew all the answers was 10 minutes. I haven't tried to...

Why didn't you stick with the Mint Notes application?
Did CherryTree seem like a better tool for your needs?

CherryTree supports about 20 different import methods:...

Is 24.04 the ansible target or the Ansible host system?

My Ansible host run ansible 2.10.8 on a 22.04-based workstation. I haven't pointed it at any 24.04 systems yet.

What, exactly, do you mean by


Is that in the Ubuntu computer or some other computer? "Desktop" can be the main window seen after logging into Ubuntu. The GUI there is usually a DE - "Desktop...

I reinstalled Lubuntu 24.04 yesterday, paying attention more closely to the disk and swap options.
There was a toogle-box that offered 2 choices.

Swapfile
No swap

this was a "normal...

+1 for Audacity.

ovpn is just text. Look inside.

However, the VPN provider does have access to all unencrypted traffic going through its pipes and if encrypted traffic is poorly encrypted using out of date...

There are multiple ways. I'm assuming the partition is NOT broken and using NTFS. You can use the UUID, LABEL or...

I open about 10 applications when I login. Most of them, I want to be iconified. Some I want specifically located on the screen with specific location and size, iin a specific workspace, AND at a...

Does the Linux Mint notes application have any Export capability? If so, what formats does it support?

Does the CherrTree application have any Import capability? If so, what formats does it...

I can't imagine doing a system install that doesn't include a volume manager for added flexibility and capabilities. BTW, I remember when ext2 was new. For a long time, I used JFS so my file...

Happens to all of us. We get fixated on "what changed recently" because that usually is where a problem starts.

Router stuff follows .... ignore if you aren't interested ....

BTW, if your...

No. Ubuntu installs don't touch the BIOS. Download a fresh BIOS (perhaps an upgrade) from the motherboard vendor and install that using the MB vendor instructions, then try booting into Try Ubuntu ...

Unlikely the issue is with the install. None of my 22.04 systems (patched yesterday) have any network issues.

I'd suggest you try to ping by IP address other devices on the LAN and on the...

Safe is a judgement call. Only you can decide if the PPA is reputable for your needs. Every repo or PPA effectively has root access to your system. If you are running code from a project already...

As they should? Or as you think they should? GUIs on Unix existed 10+ yrs before MS-Windows, so there was a history of how a mouse and windows should behave well before MSFT did anything in a GUI....

Do you mean Linux Mint? If so, just use the same program. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/12/install-linux-mint-sticky-notes-app-ubuntu

I was running Ubuntu as my desktop from about 2006 - 2022,...

Ansible constantly changes and deprecates features while adding new all-the-time.

BTW, would really help if you posted terminal output inside forum code-tags for readability. Ansible output is...
