Sorry to side-step for now(I personally do not use LivePatch) - take a look at some of the links thrown up by this google search.

It is possible the lack of an answer could be due to nobody knowing. I guess the printer is quire a newish model? The link below does not seem to have anyLinux printing drivers but does have the scanner drivers. Maybe Kyocera support can help? https://www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.eu/index/serv

[ubuntu-uk] Searching for messages - the archives

My memory is not what it was! I have a vague recollection that I may have posted sometime in the past about mouse pointer cursors sizes with a solution that worked for me to get a larger size. It looks as if I am going to have to do a Ubuntu re-install and whilst I can ensure my $HOME is backed up

[ubuntu-uk] ubuntu 16.04 fsck and display issue

So, I bit the bullet and upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 on an old desktop as a pre cursor to upgrading my Lenovo T60 laptop - my sturdy workhorse for now. One day I will get round to buying a 64bit machine. Any way, all went smoothly - no real problems. I was glad that the upgrade retained all my

That sounds brilliant Daniel! Excuse the noob questions:- I guess I need to boot from a live CD to do this? Will those steps destroy my data? I appreciate a backup is always wise - its the restore that scares me! Bear in mind I have the original 60GB disk and have done very little on my new disk

Using Clonezilla I have cloned my 60GB disk to a 120GB partially successfully.. It boots fine and all is well. I was though a little surprised that I did not get the opportunity to fully utilise the disk and it looks as if there is 60GB unallocated. I have never been very good with Gparted but I

I have tried what some contributors have said. Just to answer some questions and issues raised. I am trying to get my system to recognise (mount) my twin DVD drives. My research had led me to believe that a cure would be to place entries in /etc/fstab but that has not worked. I am using 14.04 LTS

About 2 months ago I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a win vista machine that was lying a little idle. One reason for this was the large screen attached to it and my failing eyesight at the time. I now know that was a little futile of a reason. My eyesight deteriorated significantly afterwards to the po
