Re: [xubuntu-users] cannot upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04
Hi, I think that you have to update to the next version, 20.10 - then 21.04 and so on.

Re: [xubuntu-users] unable to install grub
Hi, Have you tried to reinstall xubuntu from a usb/dvd? It should set up the grub automatically. If your data is in a different partition, there should be no risk of deleting it (but always do a back up first). I have tried to repair a corrupted grub manually, but spent hours and did not succeed. At the end I decided to reinstall. Good luck. Michele On Wed, 1 Feb 2023, 18:25 François P.

Re: [xubuntu-users] Keep display on permanently
Hi David, Why do you need to keep a screen always visible on a computer? Maybe you should consider a different type of display if it has to be always on.

Re: [xubuntu-users] Disabling Ctrl-A and/or remapping Select-All to another key combination.
Hi Jeffery, If I'm not mistaken, you can look at the keyboard application. Look at Settings | Keyboard, then you'll find a tab with Application shortcut. In there you can change or remove shortcuts.

Re: [xubuntu-users] From 16.04 to 18.04
Hi Fritz, for performance you have to take into account that the applications ( not the OS) have been updated and they probably demand more memory. How old is your pc/laptop?

[xubuntu-users] Black monitor after upgrade to 18.10
Hi. I was running Xubuntu 18.04 without any problem. I upgraded to 18.10 and after reboot my monitor went black. I can login only if I choose the recovery mode, but my monitor resolution is not correct. I tested 18.20 live DVD and everything looked ok, so I decided to do a reinstall. Unfortunately I had the same problem and cannot login unless I choose the recovery mode. My laptop is Acer Aspire 4810TZG, with ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330. I suspect it's an issue with graphic card drivers. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Did someone googling but nothing helped so far. Thanks.

Re: [xubuntu-users] JEdit broken by upgrade
Hi Brian, Jedit is based on java, so I would check which version of java is supported and if you have it installed. It could be that Ubuntu has upgraded to a new version while your jedit still expects an older one.
