My monitor is often turned off when I log in (I use the TV instead). I usually use screen mirroring (cloning) when logged in. But on the login screen, the mirroring doesn't work. Thus in my TV, I don't see the login form :( (the form is on the monitor which is turned off)
How can I enable mirroring in login screen? (afaik, I use X display manager, GDM3 greeter - standard Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).
Multimedia play/pause key does work with Chrome (actually - Chromium), Gnome & Ubuntu. System volume up/down also do. But next/previous don't. How do I make them work?
I've tried setting System hotkeys in System settings window - they work the same way: play/pause, volume - work, next/prev - don't. ?
Ubuntu 20.04.2. Gnome 3.36.8. Chromium 88.0.4324.182 snap.
xdg-open /run/user/1000/gvfs/ftp:host=smart,port=5555,user=u runs chrome.
How to make it run nautilus instead?
I'd like my Ubuntu to automatically switch my keyboard layout to English each time I lock the screen, so that I wouldn't have to do it manually each time to enter my password. How do I do that?
Also, I'd like that my keyboard layout also be English each time after I unlock the screen. Is it possible?
Methods I've already tried:
Fonts -> Antialiasing -> None
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
<const>none</const>
</edit>
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">

<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">

</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Xft/Hinting 1
Xft/HintStyle "hintslight"
Xft/Antialias 0
Xft/RGBA "rgb"
then run xsettingsd
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.antialias: 0
Xft.rgba: rgb
then run xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
(took these from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration#Incorrect_hinting_in_GTK_applications )
But still some apps do antialiasing, e.g. VLC, Telegram, Viber. How do I disable it there?
Upd. A special case is Evince doc viewer. When it renders PDF, it uses some other settings, other than when rendering its gui (menus, windows etc).
I've got two machines running same Ubuntu 18.10. On both of them I have several bind mounts in /etc/fstab as shown below:
# file system mount point type options dump pass
/mnt/hdd/folder /home/user/data none bind,x-gvfs-hide 0 0
After I upgraded one of these machines to 19.04 I got two following errors:
I cannot move files from bind mounts to trash (neither using
Nautilus GUI, nor via gio trash):
$ gio trash file.txt
gio: file:///home/user/data/file.txt:
Trashing on system internal mounts is not supported
fstab isn't hidden and displays as a mounted partitionHow do I fix that? Or where do I submit a bugreport? Or is there a workaround? (Several months have been passed since 19.04 released after all.) Especially non-working trash is annoying.
The application I am talking about is Worms Armageddon (WA). I'm running it under wine.
Consider the following sequence:
-- When I do so, I have no problems with encoding. But if I switch Ubuntu GUI language back to English (and restart session), then when typing Cyrillic characters in chat (using Russian keyboard layout), I get question marks (????, ? ?????!..) in chat instead of Cyrillic).
I guess it is somehow related to Windows code page. In Russian, the default code page is cp1251, and in English is probably some other European code page.
So my question is: how do I type and read Cyrillic in WA chat without switching GUI language to Russian?
P.S. The initial desktop icon is:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Worms Armageddon
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/uname/.wine" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/uname/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/Worms\\ Armageddon.lnk
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/uname/.wine/dosdevices/c:/GOG Games/Worms Armageddon/
Icon=4948_goggame-1462173886.0
StartupWMClass=wa.exe
and the Worms Armageddon.lnk is a Windows .lnk file referring to
C:\GOG Games\Worms Armageddon\WA.exe
When I used Windows 7 on my notebook, Wi-Fi worked fine, it gave me 11 mega bytes per second speed. But now, on Ubuntu, I only have 130 kilo bytes per second via samba, and 1-2 megabytes via torrents -- it's up to 85 times less than it was earlier! But when I use Ethernet connection, I have about 10 mega bytes via samba, and up to 5 megabytes via torrents -- this is my internet provider speed maximum.
Help me please to setup my ubuntu wi-fi connection to get my speed back! Here is diagnostics info about my networking: https://pastebin.com/kSYxZqgK
