I gather it was released Dec 2020.

It's not in the official Xubuntu or ubuntu repos yet.
I've only found dev or test repos via google.

I've also been using linux for decades.
To my mind the concept of LTS was lost after 16.04. 18.04 had a lot of problems, and despite being LTS, no-one released fixes into 18.04, all the focus was...

We have a PC running 20.04 which has a projector attached via HDMI for occasional use. After the projector has been used, it still shows as part of the desktop even though the projector is powered...

This is a good place to start.

First, you're right that having your precious data on a PC you will use for productivity is always a weak position. Data servers exist to address this.

Generally monitors are not dual port. They have alternative ports to satisfy different connectivity standards. I.e. they are designed to only use one at a time.

I usually only run LTS versions, but I've hit quite a few speed-bumps on 18.04 and have been quite surprised that many prominent software packages are deploying fixes to 19.04 only, and not adding...

Update. The problem is still present on 4.15.0-34

I've just been having a similar nightmare with a fresh build of 18.04.1 on a HP all-in-one device.

I've also had this problem with Chrome in Xubuntu 18.04, and I can confirm that the workaround to remove permissions from /etc/cups/cupsd.conf works.

I also tried making a change to /etc/gdm/custom.conf

include = user1,user2


Making this config change works in 32bit. It's only broken in 64bit. Must be a bug?

I have a number of users with a UID of 400, 401, 402 etc. They must be this low as there is a clash with UIDs >1000 on one of the NAS boxes.

It's always been possible for me to edit the...
