As there were no *3.16.0-37* anything on my system, where else would the dpkg warning about it be coming from? Keep in mind now, that the --force-yes...

oshunluvr's first suggestion worked. I've used locate previously, looking for the 3.16.0-37 kernel, and nothing was ever found.

Thank you. A listing of linux-headers* in /var/lib/dpkg/info only finds the associated files for *4.4.0-105* ad *4.4.0-108* Running sudo apt-get...

Do apt-get purge -s linux-headers-3.16.0-37ordpkg -l | grep linux-headers-3.16.0-37orlocate linux-headers-3.16.0-37offer any hints?

I assume you've gone through the normal clean routine. Have you tried sudo apt-get --force-yes remove <pkgname> Has potential warnings, but...

Thank you for clarifying!

One day last week I kept getting a warning about 'leaving the page' while simply trying to post. It seems to have disappeared now. :)

Thanks for that, Bings. It worked... sluggishly. My i3 hp machine, like me, is getting old :)

You can configure this on the panel. Right click the arrow on the right of the system tray and click "system tray settings" Click on the "Entries"...

Rod J & jglen490, thanks for the input. Your ideas are helpful. I am just trying to relearn what I did several years ago. The problem is that a lot...

There won't be for 4.10 as far as I have seen. Zesty 4.10 kernel will not be fixed as Zesty goes EOL in a few days anyway, and I read that the...

Apparently, Google discovered these flaws I'm April... I update to the mainline kernel in my fedora install, it should enable sound from my RX480...

Thanks, Bings. I've already found that. Yes, it goes to the System Tray, but Hidden! My Kubuntu OS (Linux) has a system tray sub-menu for those,...

I haven't used Kmail in a very long time, but the folders with all the emails should be in her /home/<username> directory. This presupposes that the...

Nothing for 4.10 either so far.

IF you really want to do file management fast then the best option is mc (Midnight Commander) on the CLI. Regardless, recalling experiences from...

Well, the big release date for patched kernels is today. In checking the repository I see that some of the new kernels are there, but not the one I...

Found the solution for me: Go to System Settings/Application Style/Widget Style then choose the Fine Tuning tab, under Menubar Style choose In...

Another article discussing these two vulnerabilities. It does a good job (IMO) of a layman's explanation and addresses what the Linux devs are doing...

When you quit the program it won't show you any updates but you can configure it to go to the system tray when you hit the X by pressing F8 and going...

I love Dolphin myself, but for a special use case like hundred's of millions of files I would find the best tool for the job. Re. Dolphin and...

Thanks for the tip jpenguin. I'll keep it in mind!

You are correct, that would be 500 Million. But that was just an estimate of extreme growth to see what the tolerance level would be. Right now I...
