I have recently bought HP Omen 15-dc1052nr and installed Ubuntu 18.04 alongside already installed windows 10. But after installing ubuntu when I go to settings -> Wi-Fi, it shows No Wi-Fi Adapter found. I have searched internet alot and even follow this answer too https://askubuntu.com/a/1050793/996118 but I am unable to use Wi-Fi on my device.
Information regarding my system can be seen by visiting this link https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/skbCCQnykM/
I want to install ubuntu 16.04 on a partition where my xubuntu 16.04 is installed (I followed the installation process with this and I have a /home and / partitions).
Is it safe to install ubuntu 16.04 in the existing xubuntu without losing my data?
Yes you can install it mount the previous partition on the same location uncheck format option.
I'm new to linux and I was just wondering what the minimum system requirement for Ubuntu 13.10 were. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How can I replace the Ubuntu branding with my own?
What files need to be replaced?
I have an ATI graphics card and I want to know if it is supported and what kind of drivers should I be running to get the best features out of it.
Is my card supported in Ubuntu and what drivers will work with my card?
To check if your card is supported visit this site.
If you card is not listed there then probably it is too new and simply is not supported by any ATI driver.
Before installing any drivers you need to install some dependencies to your system, do this by running this command
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases
Official binary packages from Ubuntu
To install the fglrx packages supplied by Ubuntu open a terminal and install using
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
or search for the Additional Drivers utility in your dash and install one of the detected drivers from the list.
Latest version provided by Ubuntu's Additional Drivers tool (up to this edit's date) is 11.10.
Official ATI binaries from the ATI site
To install the latest ATI 15.9 drivers follow this, people are reporting that updating their driver solves some problems with Unity and Gnome-Shell
You will need to remove all the current fglrx packages from your system and download the driver from the ATI site.
Remove the fglrx drivers if previously installed them (if any of these returns errors ie: file not found, package not found ignore it)
sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
Download the newest ATI driver (current version is 15.9)
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-15-9-x86.x86_64.run
If you have a 64 bit system, then install this before anything
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Once downloaded go to the file location and set it to run as executable
cd /path_of_the_file
chmod 755 amd-driver-installer-15-9-x86.x86_64.run
For 32/64 bit Ubuntu use these steps to install
sh ./amd-driver-installer-15-9-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/oneiric
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
Once the driver is installed you need to start up a new xorg.conf file with this command
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
Reboot
sudo reboot
After installing drivers from deb packages
Remove all the fglrx traces from your system:
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
Remove your xorg.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Reinstall xorg
For 32bits systems
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri
For 64bits systems
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 xserver-xorg-core
Configure Xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Reboot:
sudo reboot
After the reboot all the fglrx packages will be gone, you will be using default ones.
After installing drivers from ATI binary
Remove all the ATI driver files:
sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
Remove your xorg.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Reinstall xorg
For 32bits systems
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri
For 64bits systems
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 xserver-xorg-core
Configure Xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Reboot:
sudo reboot
After the reboot all the fglrx drivers will be gone, you will be using default ones.
I tried to install Bitconnect Wallet (tar file) on my Ubuntu 14.04, but it is not working. I followed some instructions on a YouTube video and I was still unable to install. Links are provided below. I would greatly appreciate your help, thanks!
Bitconnect Wallet (Bitconnect-Ubuntu14-64bit.tar): https://github.com/bitconnectcoin/bitconnectcoin/tree/master/setup/bitconnect-linux-wallet
YouTube video (Ultimate Guide : INSTALLING A PGM FROM .TAR FILES !!!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9JcK70kThI
Step by step:
1.Download your software to /tmp/Bitconnect-Ubuntu14-64bit.tar
wget https://github.com/bitconnectcoin/bitconnectcoin/blob/master/setup/bitconnect-linux-wallet/Bitconnect-Ubuntu14-64bit.tar?raw=true -O /tmp/Bitconnect-Ubuntu14-64bit.tar
2.Open terminal with CtrlAltT and enter commands
cd /tmp
tar -xvf Bitconnect-Ubuntu14-64bit.tar
sudo ./install.sh
sudo apt-get install libqt5widgets5
here:
cd /tmp changes directory to /tmp; tar -xvf extracts Bitconnect-Ubuntu14-64bit.tar file (-x - eXtract, -v - verbose, -f - filename);sudo ./install.sh launches installation script to install program system-wide;sudo apt-get install libqt5widgets5 installs necessary Qt5 system dependencies.3.You can find installed application in Applications menu or launch it from terminal with bitconnect-qt.
I installed Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 last week and things have been working great so far. However, last night the Software package installed some updates and today my computer is stuck in the login screen - I type my password and it returns to the same screen.
This is likely a very similar issue to that described here or here, but I cannot solve it since I cannot access the terminal from the login screen. Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 only show a black screen.
The only way to access my files is using a Ubuntu live CD and mounting my hard drive. Inspecting my files, it seems that this is a problem about permissions; cat .xsession-errors shows:
cat: .xsession-errors: Permission denied
And the permissions seem all weird.

EDIT: I was able to get into the command line using recovery mode, and there the permissions look normal. It shows my correct user name... so perhaps that is not the issue.
I deleted .Xauthority, but that did not help. I also tried to change permissions, but I get the error message chown: invalid user: ‘fco:fco’
I'm not an expert in this stuff, so I'm probably missing something basic. Can anyone help me on this? Am I correct in assuming that the issue occurs with the permissions?
