i am using ubuntu 17.04 which gnome shell , while installing files from the gnome-look.org gives error earlier it used to work with ubuntu 16.04
i have just bought a digital pen called portronics electropen 2 which connects to computer so that one can make digital notes using real ink and paper it is somewhat like livescribe but uses no special paper. here is the website of the device http://www.portronics.com/electropen-2.html , i was hoping is there's any way i can make it work in ubuntu as i do not want to leave ubuntu and start using windows just for the pen. the mfg provides for the software for windows but no support for linux. is there's any generic driver or app for this kind of pen.

please help me out , I want to use the xorg driver as it keeps my laptop cooler and I am able to use wacom tablet. i do not want to switch to windows 7 after using Ubuntu for 4 years on my old dell laptop.
what is best way to make use of the open source driver with the graphics switching if possible.
I am using ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on an Intel i3 4005u system. The 4005U has an integrated GPU. There is also a 2GB Radeon HD 8550M dedicated graphics card installed.
The problem is with installing the additional drivers. The laptop overheats using the open source driver (48 degrees Celsius in a air conditioned room). 
The listed Graphics -- Intel Haswell mobile -- has me thinking that Ubuntu is not using the dedicated graphics card at all. I wanted to know is there's any other way to install the drivers and avoid overheating.
which is the best way to install configure privoxy in ubuntu 14.04 as adblock plus is really heavy and makes pages like facebook to be very slow even on a computer with good configuration. please help me out to configure the privoxy . here is the link for its home pageprivoxy

I have also tried rfkill unblock all but nothing works... I do not want to switch to windows again as this laptop is giving me hell of a problems and this is one among them.
I'm using a Huawei wifi dongle to create a small wifi network in my house. I mostly just need a network to use kde-connect on network devices and occasionally share files
Problem: kde-coonect works only if the dongle is plugged into my main PC (where the kde-connect is installed).
The kde-connect can not be accessed if i plug the dongle into a power outlet
Is there a way to fix this?
Dongle model: HUAWEI EC315

Does this means there's some problem with my motherboard as my laptop is still in 30 day exchange so that I can exchange it or its just a bug as may be it is not being fully supported by Ubuntu 14.04.
I am looking for a digital pen to take handwritten notes which can be later transferred to computer to edit or save.
All the available digital pens come with their own software and they support windows and mac only.
I do not want to use windows to use the digital pen.
Please suggest a digital pen which supports Ubuntu with some tweaks or third party apps.
How do I make Ubuntu choose wifi connection over wired connection when both are connected to internet? I edited the Ethernet connection to route using the preference "Use this connection only for resources on this network", which other people have reported having success with as a means of getting WiFi preferred, but it doesn't work for me. The issue persists. Ethernet is still being preferred for internet, and WiFi gets ignored.
another thing, is it possible to use wired connection as fail over connection to wireless?

So is there a feed reader for Ubuntu or any online service which can fetch and show the older entries of a feed too - like say 6 months old or more. In case of Google Reader one can scroll down to have the older entries.

My system freezes randomly while using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox. Mouse works but I am not able to click anywhere. By pressing ctrl + alt + f1 I can get into command shell but, there I do not find anything other than a login option.
The only option left with me is going for sudo poweroff or reboot.
My system configuration is as follows:
- Core2Duo 2.0ghz
- 3GB RAM DDR2
- 256MB ATI mobility Radeon HD3400
- 320GB sata hard drive
- I am using gnome shell with gallium 0.4 amd on rv620 not the restricted ATI raedon drivers.
I have also discovered that while scrolling in Firefox/Chrome the CPU usage of Firefox/Chrome and GNOME-Shell increases a lot around 60-80 percent each depending upon the scroll speed.
Also on typing dmesg in the terminal at the end I found the following :
[ 527.824455] software-center[7689]: segfault at 4 ip 08119f10 sp bf9d5690 error 4 in python2.7[8048000+223000] [ 1117.960394] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 3446.888142] CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20113 nsec [ 3682.755118] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 4157.184312] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 4386.161414] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 4458.513696] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 4481.456381] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 4538.280377] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 4565.289503] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 4660.490307] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 5120.940930] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 5191.228400] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 5283.840125] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 5328.562658] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 6565.623439] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [ 7580.348173] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id
When the system freezes, pressing super button several times the system logs out to the login screen.
