Re: [PLUG] New computer

For what it is wort it 42.2 will not boot your new HW, you either install 42.3 or do not waste your time. I know, I have tried that on the same CPU and chipset before. I am not trying to start any flame wars, I just do not know much about this deep into Ubuntu - 42.3 has backported your CPU and

You could try unplugging the keyboard to see if that stops the behavior . Maybe it is acting as antenna. Bill On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at 10:54 AM, Denis Heidtmann wrote: > I assume this is due to static electricity creating some sort of > disturbance. > > I have an AST

[PLUG] Username for network device

My old desktop could connect to my Synology and browse files on it, but that capability does not yet exist in the new Xubuntu. The Synology is visible, but when I try to view files on it (i.e., mount it) I get a prompt asking for the username and password. I tried several of my usual usernames,

Re: [PLUG] Getting up from chair brings desktop out of suspend

I agree with the ESD idea. I set up my 'scope with an unshielded DMM probe lead spread across the desk in front of the keyboard. I can see very fast events in the few volt range, but what seems to trigger the wake from suspend are slower, lower events. No solid correlations, however. And the

Re: [PLUG] New computer

John's shiny new computer may contain marginal components that are unable to play together. This happens, and happens more often as complexity and performance go up, and hardware quality asymptotes towards the minimum acceptable (which means that some fraction of production output fails).

Setting anxiety aside, to address the non-EMI possibilities: I am running Ubuntu 16.04. I use the drop-down menu entry "suspend" to suspend. The keyboard is about 1 foot from the front edge of a very heavy wooden desk. My hands are on the arms of a wheeled chair on a hard-wood floor. The
