Parag Katoch's questions

I have 2 questions related to launching applications Ubuntu 20.04.

1. When opening system applications like gnome-terminal, if another application or window is focused then the opening window is opened in the background with a notification about it. But if a non-system application like a web browser or code-editor like vscode is opened like this, then it opens in the foreground and thus disturbing the workflow. Can I change this behaviour of applications?

2. If I switch to a new workspace and quickly open an application and switch back to the previous workspace before the application window opens, then the application window opens in whichever workspace I am currently in, instead of opening in the workspace where it was called. Is this a bug or this kind of feature is not implemented yet?

I have created a .desktkop file to open GitHub using brave browser

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Name=GitHub
GenericName=GitHub
Comment=Github desktop app
Exec=/opt/brave.com/brave/brave-browser --profile-directory="Default" --app=https://github.com/
Icon=/home/parag/.icons/github-desktop.svg
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=text/plain;
Categories=Network;Application;
Keywords=Github;gitapp;
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=Github

But the problem is that it comes as an instance of the browser with the browser icon in the sidebar.

I want it to show its own icon in the sidebar instead of the browser icon.

Is there any way to do it??

thanks in advance :))

Edit 1

I tryed Alt+F2 and typed lg and go to the windows section and here is the output

here WhatsApp opens as desired (with its own icon in the sidebar) but Github doesn't.

The only difference here is that app field for WhatsApp shows the desktop filename while for Github it shows the browser's desktop file name.

So does this mean that a desktop file opening a website will have its separate icon if only if the website is a web app?

My wifi works perfectly until I connect my system to a Bluetooth headset. After connecting to the Bluetooth headset my wifi slows down a lot. I tried solution from this and this questions but nothing worked.

How can I customize the right-click menu on the desktop in ubuntu 20.04?

also I am not using any desktop extension.

thanks in advance

Whenever I transfer some data to my USB drive (even 200MB) and try unmounting it after the completion of the transfer. Ubuntu says Writing data to a USB drive, the device should not be unplugged, and then it takes at least 5 minutes to unmount the USB.

Things to keep in mind:-

1. This problem started a couple of weeks ago
2. I have tried this with 5-6 USB drives of SONY, HP, SanDisk. So, at least there is nothing wrong with my USB
3. Trying sync on terminal just hangs until the USB gets unmounted
4. My friend recently installed ubuntu and he is also having the same problem.

please help!, Is it wrong with my system or an update caused this problem?

Edit: My laptop: HP ay-542tu

I installed vlc using sudo apt install vlc

What I noticed is that, If I press the Power button when VLC is playing a video, then it closes VLC and gives the prompt of saying "system will power off in 60 seconds" with Cancel, Restart, Power Off options

But this didn't happen with any other application.

My Power button action is power off.

Edit : Not only Power button the same happens If I press Ctrl+alt+ Delete which is the default shortcut for logout

I installed MongoDB using sudo apt install mongo-org and followed the instruction to start and everything worked but then when I reboot the system, the MongoDB server failed

I tried changing the permissions of lib/MongoDB and log/mongodb, setting the ulimit of open files to 64000, but nothing worked for me.

What I do till now to do my work is to reinstall MongoDB every time on reboot.

I created a shortcut to a text file called "imp" on right-clicking it from the default file manager everything works well. But on clicking it on the desktop I get this

Any Idea why?

I was trying to sync my google calendar with gnome-calendar, for that I added my accounts to ubuntu 20.04 but gnome-calendar didn't sync with them(don't know why) and after than when I restarted my laptop I saw that credentials for all of the accounts were expired.

Any clue why is this happening and why I am not able to sync the calendar?

I got

VMX (outside TXT) disabled by bios Ubuntu20.10 :clean,... files,...blocks

when I boot into Ubuntu 20.04.

It's little annoying

What this message means and how can I remove it?

I tried to record but nothing happens on doing the keyboard shortcut. I changed the shortcut and tried again but nothing happened

Anyone else having this too?

I know that super+Up maximize the window and super+down restore it.

Is there any way from which I can do both with one shortcut? I mean pressing super+up will maximize but then again pressing it will restore the window.

I know that I can use ctrl+alt+shift+tab to go to the top panel. But I want to create a keyboard shortcut to trigger sections of it (for example the top-right menu in the panel). Is there any way for that?

First look at the images to understand what happens

(if anybody can tell me how to upload a video here than it will be much better)

So the story is like this I clicked on the group then click outside the group to close it and then the system got stop.

Now what happens when it stops?:- I can use a mouse but mouse clicks don't work also keyboard doesn't work.

So ultimately I have to force shut down my laptop.

How often does this happen?:- probably depends on background task i.e., if I am using a heavy application like android-studio then it happens ones in 6 times

I don't want this to happen when I have unsaved work.

Let me explain my situation

I have some chunks for unallocated space in my disk which I want to use but Microsoft Reserved Partition is coming between it. On consulting with windows experts I got to know that the 16mb partition is for the future and I can copy-paste it easily.

Now what I want is to move my ubuntu partition 5GB to the right and paste the Reserved partition there but I am getting a warning that the system might not boot.

Can anybody provide a safe procedure for this?

Thanks in advance

I asked this question before but the answers didn't work for me. I even reinstall the ubuntu 20.04 but no change

I get to know that dev-loop is the one responsible for slow bootup which comes with snap.

So if I remove snap will that solve my problem also I have some snap applications (android-studio, Figma, gimp, Inkscape etc.) what will happen to them?

If any other method available I am ready for it.

Why is this coming? I don't know what to do.

I installed Ubuntu 20.04 about 1 month ago, I am facing some battery and bootup problems with it. So I think of doing a clean install or installing previous versions of ubuntu.

I am a mobile developer, so I have many big applications, which I don't want to install again and again. So is there any way I can back up those applications too?

I asked this question 2-3 times before but didn't get any answer. My laptop is Lenovo 15ay542-tu, I switched to ubuntu20.04 2 months ago.

1. After reaching 80% my laptops switches from charging state to discharging state and after some time(1 minute) again to charging state and this cycle continues until it reaches 100%.

2. My laptop reaches 100% (wow!) but as soon as I remove my plug it goes down to 93%.

3. My laptop shutdowns when the battery reaches around 45% and after that, if I try to start it again it opens (goes where I see Lenovo written on the screen) and again shutdowns.

Is this any update problem, because I saw similar questions with battery tag in recent days, which means this same problem is happening to my users at the same time.

I would like to specify that I wakeup a morning and I noticed these things happening, If it is battery fault then this should not be happening instantly.

I have tried power-calibrate -R -r 20 -d 5 -s 21 -n 0 -p but no improvement.

I shifted to ubuntu 20.04 from windows 8 . Now I have some problems with my battery.

1. When it is around 20% it immediately drops to 5-6% and then shut down

2. I charged it to 100% but as soon as I remove the plug it goes to 91-92%

I had tried power-calibrate -R -r 20 -d 5 -s 21 -n 0 -p but nothing changed.
