Why am I not receiving any updates?

  • 4

I recently upgraded from 12:10 to 13:04 on release day... and I haven't seen any updates... Surely there have been updates? Or has there??

I just can't believe that there have been no updates for an Ubuntu Release for four days?

Is this some kind of record or is there a problem with my computer??

Which one should I select? Preferably without breaking my system.

The last time I tried to install drivers, it totally messed up my system and I had to reinstall Ubuntu (which I just finished) and I would like to try an avoid the same mistake, but I am not sure which one I had installed the last time.

How to disable auto power off of usb devices like usb mouse? (3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.

While I am doing stuff... doesn't seem to matter what, my USB mouse just stops working... sometimes it will be the keyboard as well but usually not as often. Ubuntu forces me to press my power button to recover my mouse again.

Any ideas?

Let me know if you need more information.

This is a dual boot system and only happens on Ubuntu, and it works fine under Windows

So this is the first version of Ubuntu that stops the sound from coming out of my speakers when I plug in headphones. Unfortunately it also stops the sound altogether... I would like to submit a bug report but I can't remember how, nor what program I should submit it for?

Possible Duplicate:
How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?)

So I had a dual boot, with Windows, and Ubuntu, but I had to re-install windows for various reasons...

Now that I have re-installed windows, windows wrote over grub, which I knew was going to happen, but I didn't think about how to fix the problem, or if it was even possible... so here is my question, how do I restore grub to allow me to boot into windows and my already installed ubuntu?

Upgrade manager wants me to do a partial upgrade

  • 39

So here is my story...

I was doing upgrades to ubuntu the other day, and the power went out right in the middle of the upgrade, so now when I try to do upgrades it keeps asking me if I want to do a partial upgrade. I have heard this is bad and should be avoided, I also know there is a way to fix this via the command line, but I can't remember how, nor can I find anything on the internet.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks alt text
