I've never used the "keyring". Never saw a good reason for it, but I suppose if you use the semi-built-in web-app connectors, it might be useful. If you don't use cloudy services, you don't need it...

24.04 **is** bleeding edge for another year, but feel free to have your opinion on that. New releases are always bleeding for at least 6 months.

I patched today and none of my nginx servers were impacted. I run over 20 virtual domains on 20.04 servers. Hopefully, for important things, you aren't on the bleeding edge. That would be crazy at...

Uh ....

I came here to suggest using a better DE or not even a DE at all, but a good Window Manager that isn't dumbed down so much like Gnome. Applications aren't supposed to know their size or...

His rsync is all local, nothing remote, so ssh isn't involved at all. The -vvv option would be a good idea. I didn't look up the other options to know if they make sense with the --delete usage. ...

Most hypervisors have a "suspend" option on the "Start/Shutdown" menu.

In virsh, the manpage says:

VIRSH(1) Virtualization Support VIRSH(1)

You are out of luck, unless you want to port them to the ARM CPU. Good luck with that. Non-scripted software is compiled for a specific architecture (except Java). That means it expects a specific...

Gnome doesn't work with most remote desktops.

The solution is to use almost any other one that is lite. XFCE or Mate would be my initial recommendations. This all started with Gnome3 when the...

All network file systems have a huge liability when used for backups. If any of the client machines gets malware or crypto-ware, then the backups will be searched out and destroyed too. This is why...

sda7 has an ext4 file system. Mount it and see if there's anything inside it. Doesn't seem to be part of the install. No clue how it was created, unless you attempted the install, twice, killing it...

1 command is helpful, but not the complete picture. currentshaft provided a number of commands to run. Please do and
a) show the exact command used,
b) along with the output.
c) Thanks for...

Exactly which release and which DE and which display server are you using?

The default remote access should be with ssh.

Depending on the release of Ubuntu and the client, for a light-GUI...

You cannot have 2 hypervisors installed at the same time, unless you manually remove the hypervisor kernel module used.

Virtualbox requires something called "Guest Additions" to be installed for...

Lots of guesses. Check the easy things first.

Is the program a snap package? Snap packages have mandated constraints, one of which is the location in the file systems and which file systems can...

When everything goes well, it is definitely more convenient to have automation handle things, but when things break ... well, that's completely...

The poll is starting to be useful, but we need more than just 19 votes. Only 10% had huge issues. That's encouraging considering all the possible wonky configurations there are in the world.

Patching too often is a liability. unattended-upgrades are dangerous. Nobody here works for Canonical, so you need to open a critical bug in Landscape if you actually want anyone to do something...

Normally, if there are two NICs on the same network, then they'd be identical models with the same bandwidth.
If they aren't on the same subnet, then routing tables would be used to determine which...

The shells and lack of trivial select/paste on MS-Windows makes PuTTY very useful on that platform. If you are using any menu system or keyboard shortcuts to select/paste, you are doing it the hard...

What type and how many concurrent VMs?
Which hypervisor do you use currently? If not KVM/QEMU, would you consider switching?

In 2008, I was running 20 VMs, mostly servers, on 8GB of RAM and a...

While an upgrade is an option, this method always leaves some "cruft" behind as different subsystems are replaced.
Last time I attempted to "upgrade" a system, it took 2.5 hours. Since then, I've...

I don't know. Opinions follow - verify things you might think are facts.

Buy "APUs" (CPUs with built-in iGPUs)? However, even those may lose support, if not forever, for a few years.

For...

Create a new userid. Login under it. Try Geeqie. Does it work? This will help determine if it is system-wide or just your personal settings. If it works for the new account, which I expect it...

Depends on your workloads, how far into the future you want to take the computer and upgrade plans.
With either AM4 or AM5, there are multiple generations of CPUs along the upgrade path. With AM4,...

Be very careful getting GPUs that aren't new. For a few years now, lots of fakes that will claim to be 1 type have had their firmware flashed to lie about the true model of the card. Many are used...
