Ok. I wish I could remember or find how I used to do it, but I'm pretty sure I had to set some variable to "LOCAL" and remove the "UTC" (put LOCAL in it's place). I just can't remember where that was or what file etc.
What used to work doesn't anymore. I just tried "UTC=no" again, failed. There is no UTC setting in rcS anymore.
I saw reference in a few sites to a registry setting. Would something like this solve the problem? http://www.howtogeek.com/211144/how...play-the-correct-and-matching-time-dual-boot/ http://lifehacker.com/5742148/fix-windows-clock-issues-when-dual-booting-with-os-x Both mention the registry setting.....
I've installed it yesterday and so far: during live USB wireless network was not detected, had to retry after install to hard disk sound didn't work; it started working after 2 reboots CPU usage was quite high the first few sessions some apps (SMPlayer, Qbittorrent, Keepassx...) behave randomly the new software centre lacks a lot of programs as you said, no bug bite, but some irritating annoyances
LOL, looks like I'll have to stick with my 14.04.4 until the first point release of 16.04.1 is released. Hopefully by then the bugs discovered are all gone.
My experience with 16.04 was similar to Joxx, but with different quirks and annoyances. I agree with you here, that it's probably best to wait a few months, by then the bugs should pretty much be gone and cleaned up. Good advice...
Fixed my problem. Code: timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/611927/changing-the-time-in-ubuntu-1604/
Well, the first attempt to try it live was a failure. I have an X220T with a touch screen display that I don't have a hard disk for right now that I tested it on. It got to the Unity desktop and neither the touchpad, touch screen or trackpoint would register a click so I couldn't do anything. I have 14.04 on another X220T that is almost identical and I've had no problems with the drivers. The next test will be in a VM where drivers won't be such an issue.
I've tried three methods to install 16.04 in UEFI mode with Secure Boot. Erase disk and install Ubuntu Create the partitions first with BootIt Bare Metal and use "Something else". Grub was installed into the EFI system partition Use "Something else" and manually create the partitions. Grub was installed into the EFI system partition All worked fine. Are you guys installing in UEFI or MBR mode? Which is the most popular?
I think MBR is the most popular, all distros I've tested this year default to MBR, even fdisk does that. I moved away from MBR and I'm on GPT, though with a regular legacy BIOS. I'm not looking forward to go back to MBR, GPT is much more advanced and practical (but MBR is easier).
amarildojr, I'm curious about what you mean by a "regular legacy BIOS" and being on GPT. Are you referring to having GPT data disks as you can't boot a GPT disk unless you are using UEFI mode. Thanks.
The disk is in GPT, but my motherboard doesn't have UEFI, only the old legacy BIOS. It is possible to boot a GPT disk without a motherboard-enabled UEFI. On Arch Linux, I install syslinux and gptfdisk. On Ubuntu and all other ditros, that process goes automatically.
I installed it in a Virtualbox VM. It had a few hiccups but went smoothly for the most part with nothing like the difficulties I had with creating a Fedora 23 VM. Safe from driver issues in a VM, it is pretty much the same as 14.04 on the outside. The software manager wouldn't install Opera 12.16 and I had to use dpkg to install it from the .deb file. Obviously, it was discouraging me from installing an outdated app but it works normally once I installed a few of its dependencies that were missing. I removed Geoclue and was happy to see that Zeitgeist wasn't present at all.
Don't forget gnome-documents, gnome-online-accounts, libgdata-common, libgoa, libmsn, libkgapi, libplasma-geolocation-interface5, etc. That is, of course, if you don't use online accounts on Linux. Most of these are only useful with Google/Microsoft/Apple/etc services. If that's the case, here's a script I use to create dummy packages for programs/libraries that might violate privacy, and then procceed to install them: http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/73481783 The script was created to be fully compatible with Ubuntu MATE 16.04, but it may cause problems on some DE's like Unity or Xubuntu-Desktop. In my case, I do a minimal install of the MATE desktop environment through Ubuntu's mini.iso [link]. If you chose to do the complete MATE install, you won't be able to easily avoid potential privacy violations as MATE in Ubuntu uses tons os packages related to Facebook, Flickr, Google, Microsoft, etc. Only a minimal MATE install can save you. Or Debian/Arch They're not deeply tangled with these packages as Ubuntu is. Or continue my script with the dozens of other packages, if you're really paranoid like me, but that will take several hours to see which dummy packages are needed to be created. Disregard the mate-optimus thing, if you want. Edit the script to point to your own /home directory.
