Just updated to 22.04, but I'm having an issue where I can't open Google Chrome via the Activities search bar. I purged and reinstalled it, and I can open it from Terminal, but not via Activities which is a problem because I can't pin it to Favorites.
Has anyone figured out a solution for this?
I have an HP Z840 running Ubuntu 18.04. I recently rebooted the machine after having some issues writing to the main HD and now I get a “BootDevice not found” and hard drive 3F0 error. I tried to boot with a USB and a Ubuntu iso image so that I can at least try to recover some files, but that just leads me to a black screen with a blinking underscore.
I suspect that the machine has some issue with a HD, but that shouldn't prevent me from booting with a USB, right?
At this point, I'm kind of stuck so any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've been trying to upgrade my version of Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04. I've run all the steps from updating and upgrading both apt and apt-get, changing the settings in update manager and all of the steps described in this link. Yet I keep getting the error:
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
Is there something special about trying to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 that's causing this error? Do I maybe need to update to 19.04 first?
EDIT: I just noticed something that might be important. When I run sudo apt-get update I get the following notice at the end of the output:
The following packages have been kept back:
colord gimagereader python-sane sane simple-scan
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
Might that be causing the issue?
