Ellis Michael's questions

For some reason, way terminal colors are rendered seems to have changed after upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04. To take a concrete example, here's what terminator looks like in 18.04.

And here's what it looks like now.

I've checked, and the color profile I'm using in terminator is the exact same. I've even tried inputting custom colors on both machines, but it appears there's some sort of post-processing that happens that makes some colors darker in 20.04. I haven't done as much poking around in the gnome-terminal settings, but I'm getting the same output there. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the Ubuntu theme, because I've tried light and dark mode with the same results.

Anyone know what's going on and how I fix it?

I'm running 18.04. I have the night light set to run from sunset to sunrise. However, it's been turning on early, multiple hours before sunset and is already to maximum redness before the sun even starts setting. Perhaps it's a bug that mishandles the daylight savings time shift? I don't think it used to be this bad before the time change. (I'm on PDT.) I've checked the time settings, it's all correct.

Anyone run into a similar issue? Any fixes (aside from just manually setting the night light times myself)?

I have a Dell XPS 15 laptop with an external display through the mini-displayport, and I am completely unable to get the suspend functionality working correctly with Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail.

With any of the 3.8 kernels, suspending the computer seems to work correctly for about a half second, and then the fan starts up to full blast, and the activity light stays on (instead of the slow blink that indicates sleep mode).

With 3.9, I can initiate suspend correctly, but the laptop only displays a blank screen upon resume.

The 3.10 kernel suspends and resumes correctly except for the mini-displayport crashing. My external monitor goes into power saving mode after the computer wakes up from suspend and stays that way until I restart the computer, even after restarting lightdm.

3.11 encounters other errors when resuming.

This is getting extremely frustrating. Any help or insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
