- | When I was at school, we had a History teacher enter the class with his fly open. He was wearing red underpants under his Khaki shorts. It did not take long for someone to notice and giggle. Giggles breed more giggles in teenagers, and he eventually stood in the centre of class, where everyone could see him and proclaim: there is an ugly thing poking its head out in this class! Obviously the result was disastrous. Kids were laughing so hard, some fell out of their desks to roll on the floor. Efforts to stem the tide of laughter was met with more laughter as he said it a second and third time, as if by now there wasn’t a kid who had not noticed. The end result was that all the kids got punished severely. Who would you say was at fault here? I notice that a lot of people on Github and random forums are quick to go “hey developer....” Others will compare open source software with proprietary crap, where you have NO say in anything and rag on the open source equivalent. The answer is simple, if you give the money you were giving Adobe monthly to GIMP or Blender, and I am damn sure it will rise to meet the other paid product... And you have a say or direct line to the developer(s). But you don’t... So how can you complain? Again, who is at fault here? | ||

- | Q: I am installing Ubuntu 22.04 on a Dell 5593 i7 with 16GB RAM and I am using my trusty Ventoy stick. I have done it before many times, but I just have the worst time with Ubuntu. I have now tried Ubuntu 24.04 and it still sucks. Once the installation finishes and it reboots, I get a minimal shell. The kicker is, when I put the Ventoy stick back in, it boots normally. I have no idea what that is all about. My Ventoy install is up to date, btw. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? Ubuntu download is verified. | + | Lorsque j' |

A: I hope it is not your laptop, for what I’m about to say. It is a craptop! I know that model well. The worst part about it is its BIOS/UEFI – it has no option to unset cached boot, like the more premium models. You have to enter the BIOS again and select “ubuntu” as the BIOS boot option, if that fails, select the SSD as the first boot option. It should be peachy afterwards (until you boot from anywhere else). | A: I hope it is not your laptop, for what I’m about to say. It is a craptop! I know that model well.

I’ll tell you why: I went through the slog of installing windoze, encrypting it and trying Ubuntu for you.

A: Inverted colours usually signal faulty hardware to me, boot with a bootable Ubuntu first, to confirm. Start with Tweaks, disable all gnome extensions, reboot, and see if it fixes. If it does, turn each one on until you find the culprit. Alternatively, | A: Inverted colours usually signal faulty hardware to me, boot with a bootable Ubuntu first, to confirm.

- | A: Oof, this is vague. Honestly, I can’t say. However, things are changing in the VM space in response to distro / technology changes. If it is older distros you are trying, I suggest changing VMSVGA to VboxVGA and try again. No one is stopping you from trying Vmware either. | + | A: Oof, this is vague. Honestly, I can’t say.

- | A: My suggestion is to use the open source MESA drivers. I’ll tell you why. The libraries and other bits ‘n pieces that those old drivers depend on, are no longer supported by modern Ubuntu systems. Secondly, as far as I know, the MESA driver outperforms the old proprietary drivers. I’m not aware of any communities that have formed around those old cards either, but I may be wrong. | + | A: My suggestion is to use the open source MESA drivers. I’ll tell you why.
