I didn't see this coming but I'm not exactly surpirsed either. It looks like Ubuntu will feature the Gnome desktop starting with 18.04 LTS. Also looks like Ubuntu phone is going to be retired.

After some difficulty today with 2 different new machines, managed to get a DVD to boot up to run installation routine but, although I can see the Windows 10 partition in the Drives (under Trash), the installation script does not see another OS. The options given are a complete disk overwrite or 'Other' which involves complex partition managing given there are seemingly about 6 partitions already and am unfamiliar with the command structure on the installation disk partition manager. I find the long paragraph in the Help Manual about this insufficient to understand what am getting into.


Probably, will have to take this laptop back as well.


In any case, fwliw, I wanted to record this difficulty. The model is an HP EliteBook 2540p. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to be getting more difficult to install Linux OS on newer computers (unless you just scrub the drive, which I might just decide to do since haven't used Windows in many years now...)

I just bought a new laptop (HP Elite) and have had NO luck, after 3 hours, of creating a bootable USB, which have never done before (this one has no DVD drive, first time for me). I cannot understand AT ALL your instructions in the Help Menu, nor other pages googled. After 3 hours have made zero progress. Have been computing since early 1980's. The problem is that not one page, including your manual, takes the time to explain what you are trying to do and why. Just extremely brief, minimalist instructions. If you read your Help Guide with a 'fresh beginner mind' you will see that the language is almost meaningless. I am sure I am not the only person who is doing it for the first time and could use more simple, step by step instructions. Anyway, I love teh distro and if cannot make the USB bootup happen will simply get a different laptop rather than have to go through this every time.

Hi guys,
I installed LL yesterday; I am using Mint on other pcs and have not encountered the following problem before.
This is the only issue I am having with the install. All else works well.

The system clock will not maintain the correct time.
Post install, it read Feb 2016 and was hours behind as well.
I have thus far tried:
sync to local server (nothing changes, wrong date/time stays displayed)
resetting manually via gui (corrects for the session but reverts to wrong time after reboot. However time is now only apx 30min behind and date is correct)
switching from UTC to local time via command line (same result as above)
reset clock in BIOS (date stays correct but time back to being hours behind))

This is on a custom built desktop not a laptop, runs like a dream and ran Mint 18.1 without issue so I cannot attribute the issue to hw.

I looked for the problem and found several references to this happening with dual boot setups; LL is currently the only OS on that machine.

Sound familiar to anyone?

I tried playing with the iconic feather graphic, but got frustrated that it could not be isolated from its black background. The feather as it's used on the default wallpaper has a black halo, and it bugs me.

Since I'm a fan of the clean, minimal, flat look of material design, I created this new feather logo. I think it's more consistent with design aesthetic going forward. And I had in mind that the bent feather could imply the letter "L." So here are some ideas.

dark, gold feather, with text


light, blue feather, with text


gold feather with text and a subtle texture


blue feather alone, with texture


rotational symmetry, with subtle stripes


I built the feather in Inkscape, and compiled the wallpaper in GIMP. Obviously, many other variations are possible -- let me know if you're interested in seeing a particular twist on it.

Can a Login & Logout option for just Restart and Shut Down be made an option? No Log Out? I removed "Save session for future logins" but don't remember how.  ;D

What does it do? Do I need to use it on this newer computer?

hello, how can I install in 8Gb USB in persistent mode from Windows 8.1 64bit?
