I currently can't search any applications on 'Ubuntu Software'. I realize that apt is a workaround, but I like the experience of the GUI.
The syslog doesn't seem to show any related errors.
I'm running Ubuntu 20.10, with ZFS. Since a restart today all my snap apps are broken.
$ slack
internal error, please report: running "slack" failed: cannot find installed snap "slack" at revision 32: missing file /snap/slack/32/meta/snap.yaml
I tried removing and reinstalling snaps. After that, I'm getting a different error:
$ signal-desktop
cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /dev /tmp/snap.rootfs_CX14ek//dev: No such file or directory
What can I do to further debug this? I'm proficient with the command line, but not that experience with snap or zfs (if it's zfs related)
I recently got a new laptop using a Tiger Lake CPU and Intel XE Iris graphics. This is an XPS 13, and an upgrade from an earlier XPS 13 model from 3 years ago.
The performance on this computer (on Ubuntu 20.10) is absolutely terrible though, so I did some research and it sounds like the next Linux 5.9 kernel will have better support for Tiger Lake related things.
Given that Groovy Gorilla is out, does it mean that the next (5.9) kernel will only appear in Ubuntu 21.04, or can we expect it to land earlier?
In the default ubuntu amazon image, it's not required to use a password to use sudo.
To allow someone to do this with sudo, generally I need to add a line to sudoers such as:
%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
However, the default configuration file doesn't mention NOPASSWD anywhere. How is this configured?
I accidentally messed up my menu, and firefox now no longer appears when I search for applications, and I don't have a way to mark it as 'favourite' when the application is running.
I've relegated to just start firefox with the terminal, but it's a bit of a pain because I have to keep it open, and shows a lot of error output.
Is there a way to tell apt, or dpkg or some other tool to restore the icon?
I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 today, and after this upgrade tracker-miner-fs seems to crash and restart contiguously; pegging my CPU at 100% until I manually kill the process.
The error I'm getting in /var/log/syslog is:

There's isntructions to permanently stop this process, but I would rather to see it work.
I have a new XPS 13 9670 with Ubuntu 18.04.
A bunch of applications often (but not always) think I'm dragging. For example, when using GNote and my house hovers over my list of notes, it will attempt to drag it.
I have this with a number of applications. The Telegram desktop application too, but oddly enough not every application. Could this be a hardware problem, or is it something I can fix in software?
I have Ubuntu 15.04 installed. My computer and it's battery is a tad old (2011) and typically doesn't last longer than an hour.
The battery indicator % never seems representative of the actual status of the battery. It's never been at a 100%, even if the 'magsafe led' is green.
What can I do to debug this issue?
