On login screen, the keyboard looks like
But in user session, the emoji key is missing
Interestingly, emoji key is absent from Ubuntu GNOME too.
I'm using vanilla GNOME on Ubuntu 20.04.
I observed many times that some messages in Terminal or some part of them is enclosed in backtick and single inverted comma. For example, the output of type -a ls generate
ls is aliased to `ls --color=auto'
I expect backticks and inverted commas to work in pairs but here, there is 1 backtick in the beginning and 1 single inverted comma in the end.
Why there is no closing backtick or starting inverted comma? Is it a standard?
On Ubuntu 19.04 and all its official flavors I observed that if I boot the LiveUSB in UEFI mode, there are options for live session and installation with safe graphics written beside them. However these options aren't available in legacy mode.
So, what is the purpose of this safe graphics mode? Is there any specific reason why they included in 19.04 and not on previous releases such as 16.04, 18.04 and 18.10?
When I run xkill in terminal a X (cross sign) appears which seems to kill that GUI process (application) on which it is hovered and clicked. I expect the same behavior for GNOME Terminal (since in my understanding it is also a GUI application). But I get different behaviors under different display manager.
Under x11:
Under Wayland:
It seems xkill can't kill terminal in Wayland.
In the building where I am living is having a WiFi with two channels and same SSID. Whenever I connect to the WiFi, it always connects to the 2.4GHz band but I want to connect to 5GHz band. I have already tried this but all in vain. Also, I have tried linSSID app but it isn't even launching.

A lot has been changed since the release of Netbeans 9.0. Now Netbeans is taken by Apache Foundation. Also, APT still has v8.1 in Bionic Beaver (18.04). So, how do I install latest version (>9.0)?
When I open VMWare player, I get a prompt to install VMWare Player tools. When I click on Download and Install, it shows this error:
Failed to run /usr/lib/vmware-installer/2.1.0/vmware-installer '--required' '--console' '--install-component=/home/dell/.cache/vmware/cds/cdstmp_tools-linux_10.2.5_9474260/vmware-tools-linux-10.2.5-8068393.x86_64.component' as user root.
Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
I also have read that it is not recommended to launch GUI applications as root or with sudo. So is there any other option to install VMWare tools from Terminal/Bash?
This doubt is hitting me since 2-3 days, so I decided to test it myself. What I did is I installed Ubuntu 16.04.4 in VMWare and edited /etc/apt/sources.list and replaced xenial with bionic using:
sudo sed -i 's/xenial/bionic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
Then I ran
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
I was able to upgrade to 18.04, confirmed by using lsb_release -a. However, I encountered some problems like:
apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
unmet dependency of python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat
Release 'bionic-backports' for 'appstream' not found
Broken Unity
I solved all the errors and installed gnome and gdm3.
So, I just want to know is it a good idea to edit sources.list? I know that my system might broke but is there any other specific reason not to use this.
Note: I tested this on Ubuntu 16.04 in VMWare to clear my doubts only.

I just upgraded to 18.04 (with GNOME 3.28) from 16.04. I am using gnome-shell, gnome-ubuntu-desktop. After upgrading the icon size on desktop are very large.
I am unable to find my option to decrease the size in preferences. How do I decrease it?
