I read posts that said you can switch at the login screen. But I have not option to switch there.
Sometimes when I paste text from the clipboard into the terminal, the resulting text has the following characters added to the front '^[[200~'.
How can I prevent this?
There is a datetime widget that displays in the top center of the ubuntu gnome desktop.
When I click on it, it displays a small calendar. Is there a way I can launch to fullsize calendar app from this datetime widget?
I am using Ubuntu 21.10.
When I am in vscode and I press Ctrl+Shift+e, the mapping does not get dispatched to vscode, and instead it types an underlined 'e' characters.
I have looked at lots of posts that indicate this is because of ibus, but I have since completely uninstalled ibus from my system, but still the problem persists.
I really need Ctrl+Shift+e mapping for vscode, and I am not willing to change that requirment. Is there anything I can do?
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with kde plasma. All of a sudden, my Dolphin file browser takes forever to open. Earlier it opened instantly, but now it is taking almost 30 seconds to start.
This seems to have started after an update; when I use kernel 5.11.0-38-generic there is no issue: the problem occurs when I use kernel 5.11.0-41-generic. In addition when on 5.41 the whole system seems to run slower.
When I run dolphin from the command line, there is no error output, and it is as slow as before to open.
I am using an Intel 4690k CPU with 16GB ram and SSD. I checked my drive health and it is fine.
I am running Kubuntu 20.04.
I just noticed that clicking the middle mouse button pastes my clipboard; I don't like that.
I cannot find a way to disable this behaviour. I would like to keep middle mouse button click working, but disable the paste action.
I have two users sessions running. I can switch between users without error most of the time. But after a while, after I try to switch users, on the login screen for the user I am swtiching to, the login screen is frozen solid.
The cursor works on the frozen login screen, but nothing else works. I can not login even if I try to do with without the UI reflecting my typing.
If I hit ctrl+alt+F1, I can switch back and login in to the other user, but if I try to switch to the frozen user, nothing happens.
I am using a Radeon rx580 video card...
Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 Kernel Version: 5.11.0-27-generic
Is there, at the very least, a work around to restart or kill that user session without restarting?
I just installed Kubuntu and downloaded chrome, steam, and Dropbox deb files. When I try to install them using Kubuntu's software manager Discover, it says it can not install from an unsigned repo.
Is there a way I can install deb files by double clicking them in Kubuntu without using dpkg from the terminal?
I am running Kubuntu 20.04.
When I boot my system...
-first it goes to grub (I also have a windows install) -then I select ubuntu -then it goes back to the gigabyte mobo splash screen and stays there.
I then have to select Ubuntu advanced options in grub and select the kernel in the list 5.4.0-60. It then boots fine.
I assume the first kernel entry in the list 5.8.0-36 is the default one that is failing.
I am not sure if this is related, but this happened around the time I changed my video card. But at the same time I also updated my system and was behind on MANY packages. I assume the upgrade of packages is what precipitated the change. To be sure I swapped back in my old video card and the same boot issue persisted.
What is my best course of action moving forward to diagnose this issue?
I have a problem with a Kubuntu user. I have two users and the problem only occurs for the one.
When I log in to the user, the desktop wallpaper always displays in the top left corner at about 25% size. It is scaled down with the correct aspect ratio. If I change the image, the problem persists. It happens if the image is the native res of the monitor, or if it isn't.
To fix it I must go into display configuration and toggle the resolution to a different size and then back again.
Once I log out and log back in again, the problem is back.
Thanks for any help! :)
I just install Microsoft Edge browser using a deb package.
Now I can not uninstall it.
If I go to the menu, and right click on it, there is no option to uninstall.
If I open Discover app, Edge it not listed anywhere, I did an exhaustive search...
I have installed redshift using apt-get.
I started it up in a terminal window, and then accidentally killed the terminal. Redshift did not stop running itself. My screen is most certainly still under the influence of redshift.
I open Linux Mint system monitor, and I could not find anything that I thought was redshift. Certainly not anything named redshift.
So how do I go about killing redshift?
This problem always seems to happen to me on a new install of Xubuntu on my machine.
I am running Xubuntu 16.04.3 and using GNOME Software version 3.20.5.
This is on a fresh install.
I just ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
I downloaded the latest version of Google Chrome browser. Then I double click it and it opens in GNOME software. When I double-click install, it gives me a progress bar for a second or two, then resets the install button. I keep mashing install, but the same process repeats, and Google Chrome does not install.
What should I do?
With my install of Xubuntu, there is an application called "Software". It is the default installer for .deb packages. What is the full name of the app, and how do I launch it from the terminal?
It has such a HORRIBLY generic name, trying to google any info about it yields no useful results.
I just tried GNOME for the first time and noticed that alt+tab does not cycle through individual windows, but rather by application. In addition, it cycles through all open applications instead of just the applications in the scope of my current workspace.
How can I get alt+tab behavior that is similar to XFCE, where alt+tab cycles through all the individual windows, limited to the scope of the current workspace?
I noticed that if I press the super, I sort of get this behavior, where all the windows of the current workspace are presented to me. But after pressing the super, inexplicably I have to press ↓ before I can cycle through the windows, which is really weird.
I am using Xubuntu 16.04.
I am wondering if there is a way to have multiple opened instances of the same application stack into a single tab like Windows does it.
Then when you clickthat tab, it is expanded into a small secondary menu display all of the instance.
When using nano in the terminal, to do the "write file append" command, it lists the keystroke "M-A".
I am completely confused what this key command actually means. I read somewhere that it means Alt-A, which didn't work.
What am I supposed to use?
EDIT: I think the problem is because when I hit Alt-A, it opens my Xubuntu terminal windows Menu > Tabs menu item.
So by default the supplied xubuntu / xfce terminal has hotkeys that step on nano's hotkeys? Is this correct or have I modified them and forgot?
I am running stock Xubuntu 16.04.
When I take a window and try to snap it to the side of the screen in 50% mode, it switches my workspaces instead.
How can I disable this behavior such that dragging a window to the edge of the screen does not switch my workspaces?
I am running xubuntu 16.04.
I am running two commands at startup to configure my mouse.
Both work fine in the terminal.
When I set them to run at startup using the "Sessions and Startup" app, one takes effect and one doesn't.
The one that does take effect is an xinput command to change sensitivity.
The one that doesn't take effect is as follows....
xset m 2 12
Why won't this xset command work when I set it through "Sessions and Startup". The startup command is enabled and certainly configured properly.
I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I am trying to extract a tar.gz file using Archive Manager.
When I try to extract to /opt it says "You do not have the permissions to extract to this folder".
How can I overcome this problem?
