Lucas W's questions

I ran updates and upgrades today and couldn't get WireGuard up:

$ sudo wg-quick up wg0
[#] ip link add wg0 type wireguard
Error: Unknown device type.
Unable to access interface: Protocol not supported

Purging and reinstalling WireGuard results in:

Originally, I installed it with ppa:wireguard/wireguard - is the install different now with this kernel?

Network Manager has long names for ethernet devices in parentheses: eth0 might be shown as Ethernet Networks (Intel Ethernet Connection I217-LM) in the dropdown menu.

Is there a way to list these names from the command line (using nmcli?)- or even better also show the ifconfig name for them in the same output?

This is using 16.04 with nmcli 1.2.6.

I'm using Gnome Terminal 3.6.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.

On my trackpad I'm frequently accidentally opening a new terminal (even though I've disabled tap-to-click), I think the prominent placement of 'Open Terminal' here is to blame. Can I remove that entry or re-order them? It would be great to have Copy come first and Paste second? I use those much more often that opening a tab or terminal (intentionally).

update

I can duplicate the behavior (in 13.10) with a mouse- right clicking and dragging diagonally right and down will open a new terminal, but only if done quickly. If I right click and pause then I have to left click the menu options as expected.

update 2

It's starting to become more clear: there is an intentional feature of the right click menu that allows a right click and hold followed by the release of the right click on the context menu item of choice, which coexists with the right click release followed by a selection of the menu item and second right or left click.

The problem for me is when I'm intending to right click release and then select a menu item and a perform a second click. If the cursor is already moving down and right, or if I begin to make that move before releasing the right click, I get the undesired new terminal. I may be unconsciously trying to optimize the operation by getting a running start, or it is just random mouse movement.
