Upgrade Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04 20240525 The upgrade failed and all I was getting was the “Oh no. Something has gone wrong” and “contact your system admin” (that’s me). Ouch. Ctrl-Alt-F3 to get a terminal login and sudo apt --fix-broken install and using the Software Updater GUI eventually it all came good and is working just fine.

  • UEFI dbx from 261 to 371

Upgrade Ubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 20231022 All went smoothly. Zoom install using snap is required for Ubuntu 23.10:

sudo snap install zoom-client --edge

Unfortunately the server is now suffering a Gnome Shell crash when displaying video full screen from totem or from youtube. Removing the Media Controls Gnome Shell extension fixed this.
