problems when starting ubuntu 20.04 on the kernel 5.4.0-48-generic - ubuntu-20.04

Today the kernel on Ubuntu 20.04 was updated to 5.4.0-48-generic and my computer stopped booting. On 5.4.0-47-generic, the download goes without problems. Tried installing Nvidia 450.66 drivers but didn't help. On the desktop, gnm3 does not load at all, and on the desktop, lghtdm displays the following message "/ dev / mapper / vg ubuntu-root: clean xxx / xxx blocks".

Qemu Sparc64 emulation - keyboard doesn't work (Windows, Ubuntu host tested)

people
I need to run sparc64 emulator in order to install Solaris 10 for sparc64. I tried to run it on following hosts:
Windows 10 Professional
Windows 10 Enterprise
Windows Server 2019 Datacenter
Ubuntu 21.04
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (ran on Windows hosted Hyper-v)
Every time I get this:
Keyboard is not responsive and I can not continue.
You can also view that i8042 module used for the keyboard is not available.
Can someone help with how to enable keyboard (it is not usb keyboard, it is integrated - on notebook - used for all except for Win Server)?
The starting command for qemu is (minimalistic):
qemu-system-spark64 -cdrom sol-10-u11-ga-sparc-dvd.iso -drive file=Image.img -m 2G -boot d

macOS Catalina kernel debug

Anyone did Catalina kernel debug? I tried to copy the development edition of kernel from KDK folder(Catalina 536) to /System/Library/Kernels in the VMWare fusion target VM (Catalina beta8) according their readme file, anyhow that folder is readonly, you cannot copy any file there,
anyone has the solution?
One possible way is that reboot into recovery mode, but with VMWare fusion VM, it seems both latest version (Beta 8) and one vmx download from internet are not working, I tried both Cmd-R and 'reboot recovery' with nram settings.
Remoutning the root file system using
$ mount -u -w /
Worked for me to be able to copy the new kernel over. However my laptop is still slowly booting the debug kernel so I have not been able to verify end to end kernel debugging yet.

Opening system settings freezes the machine on Ubuntu 17.10

I have just installed Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) on my machine. When opening system settings, the machine just freezes up. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Doing this in terminal, you're gonna reset control center (worked for me):
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/control-center/
I purged and reinstalled my nVidia drivers and then it worked.

Install headless Ubuntu server to VirtualBox on windows

I have recently started using VirtualBox to get my Linux environment rather than fully using Ubuntu. For me this works well. But recently i have realized that in the Ubuntu vm the only thing I use a lot is the terminal, mostly just because I need the Linux environment and not the full desktop.
So I tried installing Ubuntu server into a VM, which worked. But as soon as I reboot the machine, it fails after the system boot logo. After BIOS and where I would log on from the command line I simply get a black screen with a non blinking cursor. So I am never fully able to boot into the vbox.
I read up on the command line version, trying to run it headless and then connecting to it from demote desktop. after starting the vbox I am able to connect to the desktop and see the grub screen but after selecting Ubuntu I get that same non-blinking cursor.
So is this really possible? I tried cygwin but it never really felt adequate to me. I like and am very comfortable with the Ubuntu/Debian command line. How could I (if possible) accomplish this? I want to be bale to start up the VBox and get the full command line for that vbox session. Any ideas?
Ubuntu version: 10.10, VirtualBox v. 4.0.4 r70112 and I am on Windows 7 Ultimate.
You didn't mention the versions of Ubuntu and Virtualbox.
I failed twice to install full Ubuntu 10.10 over the latest VirtualBox 4.0.4 over Ubuntu (problems like those you describe), so I switched to Debian 6.0.
All you require to install Ubuntu headless is to install the server version, which you already did. If you get blank screens, tweak the ioapic settings in both VB and Ubuntu. Another tweak is to switch between IDE and SATA drivers for the main disk (the Grub in my non-virtualized Ubuntu hangs if there's USB media attached at boot time).
If you can run full Ubuntu on a VM, you can try downgrading it by removing the xserver-xorg package, or changing the default runlevel.
If all you want is a Linux consule, you can install Debian 6 without any GUI components.
