I bought this notebook used and am trying to get the most life out of the battery. After installing TLP I tried using this guide to limit charging to 80%. It doesn't work though. Modifying /etc/tlp.conf in the way described so that the line states STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=80 (uncommented) has no effect. The battery still charges to 100%. How do I fix that?
What I understand is that it's recognized as a networking device but I have no option to connect to a wireless network. Also I found that the driver for r8169 is supposed to come with the kernel.

I was new to how the dropdown works. It lost focus and disappeared. Do tasks still get executed or are they aborted?
I can only get the update which I need since it fixes issues I've already run into as an .exe file. How do I install it from Ubuntu? My notebook is a HP Probook 440 G5.
I get 2 error messages shown very briefly when shutting down my hp notebook with 20.04 running on it. Is it safe to ignore them or should I have a look what it's about? If so where would I look?
It's a weird issue. The cursor gets stuck in place but still moves so that if I click I click on what I aimed to but the cursor is not where it should be. It only happens in the launcher. I tried this to no avail.
I'm running Lubuntu 16.04 on an old Dell Optiplex 780 with an E7500 and integragrated graphics (GMA 4500). When scrolling and during video playback I get this weird wave form tear in the middle of the screen. I first used the VGA out, then tried the DVI out from a PCI adapter and the issue persists.
I'm planning to stress test my OCed AMD Athlon X4 880K from a live session. I've heard about the "stress" tool. How is it used for CPU stress testing? I plan to monitor temps with lm_sensors. Do you know of the correct syntax to make "sensors" run in sensible intervals?
I need to downgrade from 3.8.0-33 to version -29. After booting the latest kernel I'm greeted by a black screen. How do I keep this version permanently?

I've found this guide to sync Chrome tabs across devices and I enabled sync on both devices. Nothings happening though when I enabled tab sync on my PC and Notebook. How do I open the tabs from one device on the other? Both devices run Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

My system language is German but my text in libreoffice writer gets all underlined because the spell chechking language is set to English USA. Neither can I change it to German there which is also listed nor can I change it via Extras --> Language --> All text.
I've found this: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/1678/spell-checking-not-working-in-v342/
I deleted two folders named "bundled" and restarted libreoffice but the problem persists. No new folders called bundled created by the way.
I've also installed a German dictionary via extensions which didn't help.
I'm on 12.04, system is up to date.
If I use F3 in Nautilus, I right-click on the file and select "move to other pane". How do I move a file from one tab to the other in PCManFM?
My LaserJet P1005 used to work fine after installing hplip in 11.10. Now it is not recognized when plugged in. No pop-up, nothing. Any ideas?
I used the advice given at the end of this article
to mount a TrueCrypt volume by double-clicking it. But I can't unmount it without opening TrueCrypt (umount: /media/truecrypt1 is not in the fstab (and you are not root)) so being able to mount it without opening the program is kind of a moot achievement. Any suggestions?
I'm on a Compaq 615 and it's fan is loud. Not much you can do about that but I'm trying to keep the CPU/GPU as cool as possible. This is what Powertop has to say:
If I change all of them to "good", the changes don't survive a reboot.
I added the line to the "grub"-file as suggested here
How do I make the Powertop suggested "Tunables" permanent?
Somebody that's visually impaired finds the icons on the panel very small. I'd like to increase the size of the panel.
I have found an older thread in the Ubuntu forums but I guess there is a more simple solution now. I would like to switch between the default German layout and an English (US) one.
Reception is full but it often fails to connect to web pages. Kernel after updating: 3.0.0-15. Router Model is D-Link DIR-615. How can I find an appropriate Linux driver?

I figured there might be a problem installing Dropbox using the .deb file from the website since XFCE doesn't use Nautilus.
Some tutorials said that you have to install Nautilus first which I did. But when I installed Dropbox there weren't any problems and it even shows a symbol in the tray without me having to add anything.
What I want to know is if installing Nautilus was necessary or not and which file manager I'm using now, Thunar or Nautilus?
I'm using GNOME Shell and I'd like to know what a GTK theme changes that a GNOME shell theme doesn't.
