Since Canonical decided not to include i386 packages support and I get errors during Playonlinux / Crossover / wine installations, what is a workaround to address this issue?
It's a known issue, and I'm asking if someone solved it.
There are two cases, which i confused about:
- If newly created file contains only latin symbols, then
file -iwill showus-ascii. - If newly created file contains only latin and cyrillic symbols, then
file -iwill showutf-8
I tested this behavior with several tools for creating files within local copy of git repository: intellij idea, nano, echo etc.
However, when i push this files to remote repository, participants on Windows OS determines this files as UTF-8.
I tried
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35 cff:no-stem-darkening=1 autofitter:warping=1"
In command line for Chrome, Firefox, gnome-terminal, Nautilus, Telegram, Skype. Tried this properties in etc/environment and export command in freetype.sh.
Tried to compile this library myself and replace corresponding .so file at usr/lib...
None of those solutions worked. I have vm with 16.04 to compare fonts rendering with current 18.10 distro.
Are there any workarounds to enable v35 hinting engine?
P.S. I noticed that there are some other libfreetype.so.6.12.1 libs in snap core (Ubuntu core snap) and GNOME's dirs. But those libs should determine FREETYPE_PROPERTIES too.
The panel i'm talking about resides on the right side in gnome applications overview (just pressing super key).
In standard gnome environment if you set static workspaces to 1 in gnome-tweak-tools - the right-side workspaces panel are gone. But in Ubuntu - even after using tweak-tools it still appears.
Are there any method to annihilate this panel without using additional extensions ?
UPDATE
Some investigations showed this two functions (alt+f2 -> lg) to annihilate the panel, but i think there is some more elegant method...
Main.overview._controls._thumbnailsSlider.actor.destroy_all_children();
Main.overview._controls._thumbnailsSlider.actor.destroy();
We can use keyboard arrow keys to navigate between windows in Activities Overview (super key).
However, when using two and more monitors, Gnome allows to navigate between windows only in scope of single monitor, i.e. i can't navigate to application on second monitor from first monitor using arrow keys.
Are there any workarounds for such case ?
P.s. yep, there is an Alt+Tab switcher, with which i can operate using arrow keys, but the question is about Activities Overview.
UPDATE
I dived into gnome shell js source code, but stuck at
Main.overview.viewSelector._activePage.navigate_focus(null, Gtk.Destination.TAB_FORWRAD, false)
this function made me dive into st-bin.c code, where i found a whole mess of other calls.
So, the result, that i think - is to extend Page objects in ViewSelector.js to whole 3 monitors, such that navigate_focus will automatically switch to next window (among other windows within all 3 displays). The problem is that navigation functionality itself is tightly coupled with C backend.
If anyone can help to deal with implementation - i and other users will be immensely grateful.
Environment:
Ubuntu 18.04
kernel 4.15
Crossover 17.5.0-1
Wine 2.8
There is an issue when selecting any drop-down menu in wine applications. Drop-down menus doesn't to be appear. The issue reproduces in clear wine, playonlinux, crossover.
For instance any of menus below doesn't open:
Sometimes, for about 1/100 clicks it is appears on half a second.
I'm more than sure that this is a problem in some kind of package/library, coz i didn't face it several days ago.
I think this issue doesn't related to some missing library.
I tried to solve it using opt/cxoffice/bin/cxfix --all and opt/cxoffice/bin/cxdiag is fully satisfied.
Also i tried to disable all gnome extensions. And the issue doesn't correlate with that, because i didn't do any manipulations with extensions before normal work of drop-down menus and the appearance of this problem.
Tried to successfully remove/clear any package related to wine and cxoffice / playonlinux etc. Reinstalled crossover - and nothing happens.
P.s. while clicking the window is blinking and it seems that someone (maybe Gnome window manager) intercepts window management.
UPDATE
i posted an issue with some debug details for winehq community https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=30642
Is there any way to assign double key-press to a shortcut, e.g. double-ctrl-press to switch language source?
Ubuntu 16.04 (16.04.4) ppa contains only 1.11. But for Rust program compilation i need 1.12 version. How to deal with it ?
P.s. 17.04 contains xcb v.1.12
However, such script
watch -n 1 'for i in $(seq 0 7); do cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq; done;'
shows that turboboost is working and everything fine.
The strangest thing is that BIOS shows constant cpu frequency too !!! (3400Mhz)
Setup:
Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
4.13.0-36-generic
i7-6700
UPDATE
After update to the latest version of a BIOS (2018) nothing has changed.
UPDATE
The same thing is happens on my laptop with identical setup except CPU - 7820HQ.
I can't find any documentation or tips for shortcut, that will show menu bar as follows:
