I want to know which packages were installed since a particular date. I see that 'dpkg-l' command does not give the installation timestamp. Is there any option in Ubuntu to view the package installation timestamps of all the installed packages ?
I just installed Ubuntu 15.04 on a brand new Lenovo G50 laptop (with AMD Radeon graphics). I installed VLC to play HD video. Irrespective of the type of video, I am seeing green spots in the videos. See screenshot below.
I tried the default player in Ubuntu and it is also giving the same error. Do I need to configure X11 ? Or is there any specific configuration needed for the AMD graphics card?
I need to set the IP address of a ubuntu device() to be read from an EEPROM. The user has he option to change the IP address as well.
I know the commands to read and write to the EEPROM. But how do I edit the /etc/network/interfaces file so that it automatically fetches the IP address from the EEPROM on network start/restart?
Btw..I am aware of the methods to configure static IP address the normal way. But in that method, I could only hardcode the IP address in the interfaces file. Is there any way I can make this a variable, which I can populate from EEPROM and use in the interfaces file?
Also, I know that I can do the whole thing using a shell script by calling the EEPROM command and ifconfig. But I would like to do this using the standard init scripts. Also I need DHCP configuration to happen in the standard way.
I am using lubuntu 14.04 ( 64 bit) with encrypted home directory. I did an upgrade from command line using "sudo do-release-upgrade".
After the upgrade I am unable to login to my home. The splash screen say that home directory is not mounted.
Can someone suggest a solution. If you need more info, please let me know.
Thanks
