In Ubuntu 18.04, when I click on a side bar (Ubuntu Dock) app icon representing multiple instances (for instance two terminals running) nothing happens. In 16.04 I get separate windows displaying all app instances ready for clicking.
What am I missing? Did I do something to offend thee?
I am running Grsync on Ubuntu 16.04. I have never had trouble before but now notice that the destination is much larger than than the source and the problem appears to be that files deleted on source are not deleted on destination. Any tips as to what might be going on? Here is my setup -
rsync -r -t -p -o -g -v --progress --delete --size-only -u -l -H -ignore-errors /home/brett/ /media/brett/godpod_backup/brett
I'm running 16.04 with Ethernet connection set to automatically connect to my VPN at start up in Network Manager (NM).
However, the NM password window appears at the Ubuntu login screen asking for the VPN password and blocks entering my Ubuntu password. After cancelling the NM window 3 times it goes away and I login to Ubuntu with my user password. I then have to select the Ethernet connection from NM in the system tray and connection proceeds without having to enter the VPN password (because the gnome2 key ring has the VPN connection password).
I would like to be able login to Ubuntu without interference from NM and have NM automatically connect to the VPN.
As I understand it, in order to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 one must upgrade to 14.10. At this time it appears 14.10 is not supported. From the command line do-release-upgrade -d produces
WARNING:root:file 'utopic.tar.gz.gpg' missing
Failed to fetch
Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem.
(there is no problem with my network)
Is there a workaround, perhaps a mirror to the official? I just don't have the time to install 16.04 from scratch.
