After upgrading to Xubuntu 20.04, once I log in the cursor shows the busy (spinning) cursor indefinitely.
Is there any way to figure out why it's showing the spinning cursor, like what application it's waiting on?
Recently after my system updated packages, I restarted my computer and found that sound no longer works. aplay -l and pulseaudio both report that there are no sound devices, even though they were working fine previously.
I checked and found that the proper kernel modules were not loaded. Running sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel got my motherboard's sound device to immediately show up in pulseaudio, and sudo modprobe snd_usb_audio got my USB audio devices working as well.
I haven't edited any audio configuration files recently, but I'd like to get this working automatically so that Ubuntu will load the proper kernel modules at boot time after detecting my hardware.

I'm trying to fine-tune my mouse acceleration settings. The XFCE "Mouse and Touchpad" dialog is confusing and seems unable to get precisely what I want. However, when I use xinput to tweak my mouse, the settings don't seem to have any effect. I tried changing "Device Accel Profile", "Device Accel Constant Deceleration", and "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" to a variety of values and none of them seemed to have any effect, even though xinput list-props does show the settings I want.
I'm using a Logitech G5 on Xubuntu 16.04.
I use cmus as a media player and after upgrading to 14.04, all WMA files in my collection have become unplayable. When I try playing them, I get static in my left speaker and a staticky distorted version of the music in my right speaker.
How can I fix this issue? Maybe have cmus use a different codec for wma? (WMA files still play fine in mplayer.)
Every time I hit a brightness key on my laptop's keyboard, it adjusts the brightness by three steps instead of one. How can I fix it so that it only adjusts one step at a time?
I am using an Acer Aspire D250 with the newest firmware. It was working better when I was using Ubuntu 10.10 with older firmware (although the scale was off).
Any tips on debugging this would be appreciated.

Currently, with my install of Ubuntu 10.10, Java JARs by default open with file-roller. How can I set it so that when I double-click a JAR in Nautilus, it opens with Sun Java 6?
I have a USB scale, a USB HID. Currently, when it is plugged in, the permissions only allow the superuser to access it. How can I configure udev to let anybody access this device? I have the vendor and product IDs, but I would like to match it based on the HID type instead.
Right now, I'm having trouble finding any existing rule that applies to this (I grepped for "hidraw" in /lib/udev/rules.d and /etc/udev/rules.d, among other things).
I tried using the solution presented in a related question for redirecting my audio input to my output, but the problem is that there's a very noticeable lag. It's especially obvious to me because I have my keyboard's audio out hooked up to my soundcard's in, which is then redirected to a different audio out device on my computer. I'd say there's at least 1/8th sec lag introduced.
gst-launch pulsesrc ! pulsesink
nice -n -15 gst-launch pulsesrc ! pulsesink does not help any.
Any alternative ways that might work better?
