I had compton installed and added to my i3 config file, and it was working great until today it won't make the windows transparent on startup. When I tried killing the process (I have it setup as exec_always in my config file) and restarting it, I got this message on startup:

zach@sevastopol:~$ compton
[ 04/28/2020 11:06:33.739 x_fence_sync ERROR ] Failed to trigger the fence.
[ 04/28/2020 11:06:33.739 paint_all ERROR ] x_fence_sync failed, xrender-sync-fence will be disabled from now on.

And then it just sits there with a blinking cursor, doing nothing. Does anyone know what to do? I searched for this error message but there is nothing except for one post on Arch forums and it wasn't helpful.

I’m running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and i3-gaps on an old MacBook Pro. I’ve been trying to get Cmus working for a little while, I have moved one of my mp3 files to my downloads to try and get it playing. It shows up in terminal and in files, but on cmus it doesn’t show up at all in Browser or if I :add to the file. Does anyone know how to fix this?

So I was booting into my Ubuntu machine (dualbooted with Win10) and it was completely frozen. Held power down and forced shutdown to fix it. This worked fine, booted back in and everything was working okay.

All of a sudden, my bluetooth no longer works. My wifi is working (although the software updater seems to think that it is not). I ran rfkill and nothing is blocked, and after running dmesg I got these errors back:

[ 13.397341] Bluetooth: hci0: sending initial HCI reset command failed (-110)
[ 48.066229] rfkill: input handler disabled
[ 48.817776] FAT-fs (sda): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
[ 103.605373] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout
[ 111.700870] Bluetooth: hci0: sending initial HCI reset command failed (-110)

What should I do?
