    Solved kubuntu can't update dell xps laptop firmware

    it wasn't any of those. But now it's disappeared. I'm not sure why.

Is that no longer available or is there something I missed? (I think...

    Solved While Using PGP (gpa), it claims my loging pw doesn't match keyring?

    I think it works bc it deletes the config file or whatever, then recreates it properly after a reboot? That was my thinking anyway.

    Solved While Using PGP (gpa), it claims my loging pw doesn't match keyring?

    Figured this out on my own. Used Seahorse to delete the keyring and all is good now.

    Solved While Using PGP (gpa), it claims my loging pw doesn't match keyring?

    I think this is the right thread forum? I tried to get a screenshot, but it wouldn't let me. Recently I posted a thread asking how to change my encryption login for my laptop.

    I think this is the correct forum to ask this... I like to draw and paint and am considering purchasing a Wacom tablet. (see https://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-tablets) I've never really engaged in digital art and thought I'd give it a try. Has anyone ever used one of these and do they...
