I have attached my UPS to ubuntu and it's recognised. However I don't like the options that I see in ubuntu power settings. I have another PC also attached to same UPS. So I want ubuntu desktop to execute script when power is about 50% so my second pc can also properly hibernate. And then I can hibernate my ubuntu PC with same script.

Is it possible to do that in the way that is not breaking ubuntu implpementation of UPS monitor? I have read that I can install nut but I have some errors, maybe it's a conflict

● nut-monitor.service - Network UPS Tools - power device monitor and shutdown controller
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nut-monitor.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: protocol) since Sat 2019-07-13 02:09:46 MSK; 11ms ago
  Process: 13906 ExecStart=/sbin/upsmon (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Maybe I can catch some dmesg message or check the status of UPS with some native tool?

I have not really old pc: conf

However when I play 10bit 1080p on my ubuntu desktop I get lags and I can clearly see that this happens only on fast object/background movements. So it seems that my PC is too dump to decode 10bit.

I enabled video rendering hardware acceleration but as far as I understand VLC can decode only mp4 and mpeg through videocard. Disabling second monitor and setting VLC realtime priority helps a bit.

I remember that 6 years ago when linux was not so stable, I had small eeepc and compiz was really heavy, so I had to choose whether to use compiz or to watch fullscreen video cause I get same kind of lags.

I wonder if I can try to disable window animations on gnome when VLC in fullscreen mode or maybe I can do something else with that problem?

I am using mcabber via ssh, and using mcabber bell for sound of incoming message. In windows I used kitty it allows you to set audio file for terminal bell. In linux I still want to hear mcabber incomming messages.

Do you know a terminal emulator that allows you to set audio file for bell or do you know how to activate system bell but just for 1 terminal window?

Please do not advise solutions like using mcabber api and sockets to transfer event to client pc. I want to use ssh bell in this solution, like it was working on windows.
