I got an Apple Magic Trackpad 2 and plugged it in to my Ubuntu 20.04 system. Clicking works, click-and-dragging works, and gestures like three-finger-workspace-switch work, but actually moving the mouse only works in Wayland, not X.
I use ZFS to store my data, including configuration files, for my desktop PC, so it's important for my datasets to mount automatically on boot. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do this in Ubuntu 19.10.
At first, when I ran zfs list and zpool list, there was no output; it was empty. Then, after figuring out how to import my pools, they still wouldn't mount.
I am attempting to run some Unity3D games, which require "OpenGL core profile 3.2 or later for OpenGL Core renderer" (according to the games' own output).
As far as I know, I have OpenGL 3.3. However, my glxinfo output is very, very confusing:
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL"
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 6.0, 256 bits)
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 18.2.0-devel
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa 18.2.0-devel
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.40
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 18.2.0-devel
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
OpenGL ES profile extensions:
So, I have "Core profile version" 3.3 (greater than is required by Unity3D) but my "version" is 3.1? Why is this, and what can I do about it?
I have a Intel Core i5-3320M, and am using Mesa 18.2 with the i915 driver.
My Xubuntu logs out when I press the power button. I have changed the setting in Power Management to "Ask", but it still logs out.
I used the acpi_osi= trick to make Xubuntu 14.04 work with my newly acquired CF-52 Mk 1 Toughbook. Among other things, this enabled it to control the LCD backlight brightness. This mostly works fine, but at 50%, the backlight brightness stops increasing.
These laptops are notorious for failing CCFL backlights. However, I am not experiencing flaring/flashing on startup, dimming over time, or inconsistent brightness. Is it possible that I have either limited the brightness to 50% somewhere without realizing it?
Thanks.
