I think the best advice is that you should only use ndiswrapper as a last resort. If you can find a Linux driver (which in this case seems possible) then it is always best to do that. I once had a wireless USB adapter for which there is no Linux driver available and I was able to connect with ndiswr...

Running modinfo ath9k in Xenial32 indicates that the driver is not present. Not sure why. I suppose one option would be to swap the kernel. Incidentally, running modinfo ndiswrapper shows that there is no kernel module for this in either Xenial32 or Bionic32, so the windows driver would not work any...

I didn't think there was a Discord client as such available via PPM. What is the name of the program you installed, was it purple-discord ? If so, this is a plugin for Pidgin and you will need to also install pidgin_2.12.0 via PPM and then open Menu>Internet>Pidgin Internet Messenger Choose Discord ...

Latest version posted on the website as of this moment is 2.53.1 and not 2.5.2
I believe 2.53.2 was there briefly but withdrawn because of a problem.
Please confirm your version number and where you got it from if not the official website.
Latest version may need apulse for sound.

In Bionic64, the problem with the Linphone appimage is that the Qt5 5.9 libraries in /usr/lib are found in preference to the internal Qt5 5.12 libraries and the 5.9 libraries are too old. As a test, I moved all the Qt5 libraries from /usr/lib into the sub-directory /usr/lib/qt5 so they are no longer...

Soniabu, I think those system Qt5 libs are older versions than the ones needed by the Linphone appimage so they are not recognised. (5.9 and not 5.12) Usually the idea with an appimage I believe is that all the dependencies are included within it. I suspect that this appimage contains the needed Qt5...

Just did a quick test of the appimage in XenialPup64 Fresh boot with nothing added. This Linphone is working! There is some chatter in terminal but nothing fatal. Perhaps in Bionic64 you need to add some Qt5 libs (which were included in Xenial64 but not Bionic64) and then it would work? My Bionic64 ...

Try "python3" in terminal as your dropbox is probably looking for this name.
If it does not exist you might need to create a symlink named python3 to python3.6 in your /usr/bin directory.

Just a couple of questions and a bit of information. Are you looking for a 32bit or 64bit Xenial build or both? Do you require voice and video support or just IM ? I have not tried anything in Xenial but did do a test build in Stretch the other day. Voice and video requires installing some extra dep...
