...new monitor to run at its 1920x1080 resolution. I just realized that I forgot to write down the actual resolution that it runs at but it's less than it should be, maybe 1280x1024? Obviously the display looks pretty crappy like that. I tried following the instructions posted here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html but when I got to the step of typing "xrandr --newmode ..." all I got was a help screen for xrandr command line options (and --newmode wasn't listed as one of them). I tried this: system-config-display --reconfig --set-re...

...In fact, if ntpdate exists on the machine, ntpd will not work properly. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/NTP.html See: https://askubuntu.com/questions/769651/ntp-failed-to-synchronize-time See: https://ubuntu101.co.za/ubuntu/fix-ntp-on-ubuntu-16-starting-crashing/ http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-and-configure-network-time-protocol-ntp-se rverclients-on-ubuntu-16-04-server.html . and more Indeed, I had to remove ntpdate in order to make ntpd work. I don't want to break ntpd. Now the dovecot-core package evidently requires ntpdate. I can't imagine why this depe...

...Synaptic Package Manager but that didn't fix the problem either. I have tried just about every audio configuration under winecfg without success. According to what I have read on these forums pulseaudio can cause problems with sound in Wine so I removed pulseaudio using this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html However this did not fix the problem, so I reinstalled it (Becuse you have to remove ubuntu-desktop to remove it, not to mention it has worked fine with pulseaudio up untill now). Upgrading from Wine 1.0 to 1.1.4 did nothing for me either. I am runnin...

...once you configured with netplan, networkmanager and systemd-networkd/resolved use the netplan config. So, now its a new one on my todo list to figure a setup with netplan. Thanks guys ;-/    Now a nice example of why to configure network/dns and stay in scope of the systems viewpoint. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-dns-problems-after-upgrading-ubuntu-17-10-from-ubuntu-17-04-16-10-16-04.html I was also a victum of such upgrade problems multiple times yes. to configure outside the systems viewpoint.  ( long ago ubuntu 8.x/10.x Debian 4-5-6 )   Understanding "my way" of installing..   I...

So, I'm curious about the contrast between modifying netplan vs simply disabling systemd.resolved Is there some advantage to the gyrations to make netplan work, vs simply disabling resolved and manually defining the IP and DNS server? [I'm not complaining, I'm thankful for all the options - just wanting to have the best handle possible on the reasoning behind one method vs the other.]

I recently switched to Ubuntu from Windows XP with only Eve Online being a Windows program I want to be able to run on my computer. I have read this thread: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1139274 and this thread: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1226117 to make Eve work in Ubuntu using Wine. I must say that with a dual monitor system Eve
