Matt, Thanks for the ideas. Brian, That link made progress. the software is installed now and I can load it. But it tells me my device is not connected or powered which is scary since it is plugged into the PCIe slot. Do you have some time to possibly meet me where this machine is located a

Rusty, I am not sure I understand your plan. I only have one system. I think perhaps the best way to install 18.04 is a complete system erase and install. However, I can't get the drive backed up by tomorrow. I also have to think about stuff like dumping all my mysql and postgresql databases, fin

How about turning your current system into a VirtualBox instance inside your new system, but share the appropriate directories between the VirtualBox instance and the host? (Hopefully that’s enough words to get you thinking along the lines I have in mind. If not, ask and I’ll say more…) Rust

Some great ideas. One issue for "repaving my hard drives" relates to insync. I have 6 or 7 email accounts that I use insync to update my folders for these accounts to their respective google drives. If I "re-pave"my system, I will have to buy insync plus @ $30/account to set up the same system I h

Mark, I also dislike nuke and paving my system everytime ubuntu notches up a version number. That said 14 is reaching end of support if it hasnt already. You will soon find no more security updates is a bad thing. You've got time, go through and migrate things to your /home and then once you have

You might consider either repartitioning your current drive to allow for an install in a new partition or installing on a different drive entirely, then you have the ability to compare the two systems to see if 1 - the update is worth the effort (whatever issue you were having before is gone) 2

I had been looking at the error and not the version of the driver. This message made me look at the version of the drivers you were trying to install and realized that they are very very old (released February 16th 2015). Download the latest version from: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/suppo

Todd, Thanks for the information about the InstallFest. I forgot to mention that the system is set up with 2 mirrored 1 TB SSDs. I am not excited about a clean install because I will then have to install and configure all my applications again, and I know not all the important stuff is in /home.

Tonight I got hold of some audiobooks.  The problem was that each entire audiobook is in the m4b format.  Seeing as how I won't listen to the whole book for several hours straight, I wanted them in smaller chunks, say one file for each chapter.   I found a script that does this nicely.  The ins
