Rey Leonard Amorato's questions

I have a dual monitor setup with each monitor capable of playing audio, connected to a single RX5700XT GPU.

Right now I can select either one from the Sound settings to be the Output device.

What I'm trying to do is to combine the two into one Output device so I can play audio with the two monitors simultaneously. What's the easiest way to achieve this?

Thank you.

I'm currently running squid-deb-proxy to cache apt-related downloads, I was wondering if the same could be done with snaps as well.

As the image shown below, the device "54CF-068B" is not where it's supposed to be.

Is this a bug or a feature of some sort?

I am behind a transparent proxy (squid) and whenever I try to add an account e.g: facebook, google, etc., this is what appears. This does not happen when I connect to the net directly.

Any suggestions or workarounds?

I'm writing my own script to download multiple items (simultaneously, one item per command) using wget and I need a progress bar. I currently utilize zenity --progress for my progress bars, but the problem is it spawns multiple progress bars when downloading.

What I want to achieve is something similar to the file transfer dialog in Nautilus:

Can anyone point me to the right direction as to which program(s) or language(s) that will achieve this.

NOTE: I only have basic knowledge of shell scripting, not much else.

As the title states, I have a few large archives (currently in .7z and .tar.gz format) stored on a remote location which I access via sshfs. I often find myself needing to extract one or two files from these archives and the default archive manager in ubuntu seems to extract/read the whole file in the background first before I get the file I want.

I'd like a list of the possible formats that does not do this. In other words, I'd like to be able to extract a file from a large archive without any delay.

I would like to create a launcher that does the same thing as the trash icon where different quicklists are shown depending on whether or not there are items on the trash.

I would like something like: if folder A exists, show A,B,C on the quick list, if folder A does not exist, show D,E,F on the quick list.

GParted seems to be the more robust and feature-rich application of the two, is there a reason as to why GParted is not installed by default in Ubuntu?

I've been using an ssh tunnel for browsing, reading that doing so would encrypt the connection to the internet. However, i have no idea as to what kind of protection that the ssh tunnel really provide.

Does it just protect my connection from network/packet sniffers or does it block out my ISP as well?

EDIT: Also, must i use a remote server to ssh to or can i just tunnel to localhost and still have the same effects? e.g the command i use now is ssh localhost -p 22 -ND 8080
