That I understand. But some vendors have went as far as to say that some models they will not allow the user to switch Secure Boot off even on x86. So question is - you get a laptop with no option to...

But let's say at some point in time Microsoft will say - okay, we are locking out even x86 devices. Is it possible to hack UEFI in question? Or is it fully hardware based?

Hey fellas!

And this from Ubuntu:...

Sometimes I would get blank processes in System Manager, which would report almost 100% CPU usage. Also, during this mode, clicking on the bottom panel icons to minimize apps does not work, only...

Just several days ago many apps, including Firefox, stopped showing up in Sound Preferences.
Now they play only using internal soundcard and I cannot switch them to USB card. Tried using...

Thanks. This helped. Although I must say the way it plays midi is so horrible that I have to turn off music anyway. Pity.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I did just that - used chroot - and everything is back to normal once more. Thank you!

How can I switch off the drivers if when I log on to the system I cannot do anything?

Older kernel versions do not work as well. I have an older Ubuntu - 9.04 - and it works fine, I am writing from it now. I will try to do disc checks from it.

What happened was a random freeze, which unfortunately occurs on my Ubuntu 10.04, during the update. At that time the downloaded software was installing, namely the linux kernel (hehehe).

sikander3786: Thanks for your responsiveness! The matter was solved by using aptitude. What is started doing was downgrading several packages for kcoloredit, for openshot it found new packages and...

I checked some of those, for instance kdebase-runtime I do have installed and it fits the requirements.

Hey guys!

For several days now I am unable to install any software on my system. No matter what app I install, no matter what I use - Software Center, Synaptic or a deb file - it says "Package...

Hey guys!
Decided to bump this up since the problem remains and I could find no solution. Was anyone able to solve this?

Thanks guys!

Here's what I did to solve the problem: removed all the offending repos. Then over irc talked to the author of the ppa and he helped me to reinstall all repos. Now everything seems...

Hello guys!
I am on Ubuntu 10.04. Since the beginning had the infamous "Requires installation of untrusted packages" problem. Sudo apt-key update does not seem to change anything, so I had to remove...

Hello!
On Ubuntu 10.04 - touchpad works but right button does not. On Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 it did not work as well. Is there any way to fix this?

While in general the fix works, sometimes the video playback would still freeze the system, but randomly. I mean, when I am opening VLC first and open a video through it, it is ok. Freezing occurs...

It happened again. Firefox lost all bookmarks and some programms like JACK audio server reverted to their default settings.

Weird. What's going on?

I checked - seems like all or almost all apps just lost their config files. All apps I start have reverted to their default states.

As I am now fixing it, apps come back to normal.

Could it...

No, I ran no such programs. FF troubleshooting did not help, plus, as I said, the problems are not limited to FF.
