23.10 Help window blank

2023-09-27 Thread Jack Howarth
I have found that, from either a dist-upgrade from 23.04 to 23.10 or a clean install of 23.10, the Help application produces a blank window. Oddly, if you run Help from the 23.10 from the installer image, the Help application properly populates its window with expected content. A comparison of the

On a 2008 MacPro with GTX680 under Ubuntu 20.04, selecting the recovery mode from grub hangs on loading of the ramdisk with the Recovery Menu dialog never appearing. This problem doesn't exist for a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 updated to the current package updates. In that case, the Recovery

nvidia-340 incapable of single user mode in 20.04

2020-04-20 Thread Jack Howarth
I am finding on a 2008 MacPro with GTX680 that the installation of the nvidia-340 package under Ubuntu 20.04 prevents single user mode boots from working. While the nvidia-340 driver works fine from a normal boot, when 'single' is added before 'quiet' in the grub kernel arguments, the boot

Is there a reason that the patches present in the test tomcat8 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.3~ppa2 were dropped from tomcat8 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.4? I ask because the Metaboanalyst server war has been broken under the ubuntu tomcat7 and tomcat8 for quire some time and this is widely reported by end users...

Dropbox menu bar entry vs Artful

Does anyone know why under Artful Aardvark, the current 2015.10.28-1ubuntu2 release of nautilus-Dropbox doesn't produce the Dropbox menu bar entry? Is that that feature limited to the deprecated Ubuntu Desktop menu bar? Otherwise, Dropbox functionality appears to be fully functional with the Files

fixing Zesty to use Apple boot selector

2017-03-31 Thread Jack Howarth
Zesty 17.04 x86_64 beta 2, while producing a bootable installation when installed on a MacPro, fails to appear in the Apple boot selector like a Fedora 24/25 installation does. It is trivial to emulate the Fedora approach by installing the mactel-boot-logo_1.0-1~xenial_all.deb and
