I've just updated to ubuntu 20.04, and I am not happy with the default lockscreen - it's just a heavily blurred version of my wallpaper with the clock. Is there a way to change how this looks? At the very least, I would like to reduce the blur on the wallpaper so I can actually see it.

I have been able to pair my Airpods to my Ubuntu 19.10 easily since I got them. However, the maximum volume on Ubuntu is quite quiet compared to the Airpods max volume on my IPhone or Android tablet.

Is there a way to raise the maximum volume without distorting the audio?

As stated in the question, I have no light coming through my volume or mic buttons on my Thinkpad x230's backlit keyboard. Rest of the keyboard is working fine. I am running Ubuntu 18.04.

My brother printer won’t print over network so I’ve tried to reinstall the driver on my laptop. It asks me to specify my device’s URI, and I think this is what is stopping it from working - I can’t work out what to put in here!

Help would be appreciated. Running Ubuntu 18.04, printer is a brother printer.

I’m using Ubuntu 18.04, and the latest version of Skype from their website. It installs fine, but whenever I try and make a call I get an error saying “oops, something went wrong”.

I know it is not a problem with my account as the web client works fine.

I have a Rubik's Futuro Cube and would like to use the desktop suite for customisation and the like.

I Just got a Rubik's futuro cube, and wanted to download the RFCsuite so i could start to program my own projects. I went online and it gave me these instructions:

Installation instructions -- Ubuntu

Install python packages:

sudo apt-get install python ipython python-imaging python-serial python-wxgtk2.8

In case of x64 system install i386 compatibility packages:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Add udev rules file (to avoid conflict with modemmanager):

sudo sh -c 'echo SUBSYSTEM==\"tty\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"0483\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"a0a2\", ENV{ID_MM_CANDIDATE}=\"0\" >

/etc/udev/rules.d/95-futurocube.rules'

Add user to dialout group to grant access to /dev/ttyACM* devices:

sudo usermod -aG dialout <username>

In some cases restart of x-session is needed to change of group (above) take an effect.

To launch application use

./rubiks-futuro-cube  

Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, LinuxMint 15: Olivia (x86-64) Expected to work on Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit, Ubuntu 12.10 32/64 bit

I copied the first line into terminal (i.e sudo apt-get install python ipython python-imaging python-serial python-wxgtk2.8). I had just finished that when i realised that I should probably wait for my IT teacher to help me.

I used

sudo apt-get remove python ipython python-imaging python-serial python-wxgtk2.8

But then It suddenly started to delete everything! I killed the window and reinstalled what it had deleted (apart from software centre). I thought it was all right but when I restarted my laptop, the launcher, switcher and menu bar was gone!! I can access terminal using tty1. What can I do?
