I'm running 20.04 on my Dell Precision 5530 laptop and the battery state as reported by the system tells me a quite low capacity of only 67%. The BIOS of the system reports that the battery capacity is still at 98%, which seems more reasonably to me. Is there an option to re-calibrate the value Ubuntu show or tell it the right one? Guess the current state might actually influence the battery life of my system as it might not charge as it should. But I am not sure about that, since charging is usually controlled by the BIOS.
I searching for a software similar to KRunner or Alfred on MacOS. which is able to to global search on my system and if needed to extra tasks. I used to use Albert, but it seems not to be maintained any longer. Ulauncher did not convince me and I could not get CerebroApp to run, and actually would prefer a more lightweight option.
Is there anything else which works as fast as KRunner on KDE and has the same functions for GNOME?
Recently I noticed that my laptops battery is very worse so I checked powertop for the power consumption. Doesn't matter what I do. The the top processes are
Radio device: btusb
tick_sched_time
Together they consume almost 15-17 W of power.
What are these services and how can I fix this issue. My laptop is a Precision 5530 from Dell.
Every time my system wakes up from suspend it shows the wrong time, even though it is set to get the network time. What could be the issue?
I would like to install 18.04 LTS on my Dell Precision 5530 with following specs:
Intel Core i9-8950HK
32GB RAM
Quadro P2000
4k Screen
Intel Wifi Link 9260 2x2.
I'm coming from Kubuntu 18.04 and had minor graphic issues, which always forced me to restart when I connected a screen. Since I do this daily it is quite annoying.
Do you might have any tips before I start the installation. SWAP partition or SWAP file (had this on Kubuntu)? Which driver to use for my NVidia card and how to install? Should I let the system install all drivers during installation our should I better do it myself afterwards?
I am running a Dell Precision 5530 with i9 and the NVidea Quattro 2000. Usually I just use the NVidea GPU when doing heavy work and most of the time it is deactivated, so my computer runs very quite. However, as soon as I connect it to the USB-C dock the fans run on full speed almost all the time, event though I do I just do some text processing in LaTex and browse the internet. Doing the same things without the dock connected the computer stays quite all the time.
Anybody else has this issue and might have a solution?
I am using Kubuntu 18.04.3 with KDE 5.12.9 on my Dell Precision 5530 which has a 4k screen. As I quite frequently connect a display (mostly just 1080p) and KDE does not yet support scaling per screen I need to change the scaling factor. Usually I set the laptop screen to 1080p with 1x scaling, but I always need to restart or relogin to apply the changes, which is quite tedious since all open thing get closes. As solution I tried to restart the plasmashell, but that does not work very well since the title bars does not get scaled properly after that. Is there an option that the system does it automatically, as it Gnome? Might it help to change SDDM to LightDM? Not sure if this actually makes more changes than just the loginscreen.
Thanks for help
I just wanted to install the Skype for Business Windows application using wine. But somehow the installer crashes all the time. Not sure if this has something to do with the fact that it seems that this .exe would just download all the needed files first. Is here a proper way to install Skype for business on Ubuntu 18.04?
I use KDE in Wayland, since from 5.13 the main support for X11 will end and Wayland works much better. The only issue I face is KDEs global menu, which I am not able to use, since it is just not visible.
Is there a specific package I might need to install or something I might need to change in QT?
I have a Logitech MX Master 2s connected via Bluetooth to my Ubuntu 19.04. All buttons work with a charm, but I am not able to increase the speed. In the settings GUI it is already at the highest level, but the pointer moves still very slow and I have to drag the mouse all over my desk. When I change settings with xinput they reset after a reconnect. Is there a way to increase the pointer speed and keep this setting permanent?
I'm running 18.10 on my Precission 5530 with Nvidia Quadro P2000. My system does not wake up from suspend when using the Nvidia card. I read that this seems to be a common issue but could not find a fix. At the moment I am using driver version 418.56 but I had the same problems with all other drivers.
Thanks for help.
I would like to install a package for wavelet analysis in python and could just find this one here. https://www.pybytes.com/pywavelets/
It seems that this package is not part of Ubuntu repositories, is there a way to add it somehow?
Today I installed another package via
pip3 install seaborn
after doing so my pandas package seems to be broken and I have no idea how to fix it. I tried to uninstall and reinstall pandas, numpy and seaborn but always get the same error.
"Missing required dependencies {0}".format(missing_dependencies))
ImportError: Missing required dependencies ['numpy']
How can I fix this?
I have some applications installed with Wine and if I like to start them I always have to open them through the terminal.
Is there an option to put them into the application list as a shortcut so that I can open them through pressing super and search for the name?
Somehow I could install Ubuntu 18.10 without creating any SWAP partition nor I seem to have a SWAP file. I wonder if I still could get hibernation to work, without having both of them. I tried already creating a SWAP-file and hibernate with it, but that did not work.
Is there a way around the SWAP file and get hibernation running?
I try to install Delft3D, a modelling software on my system, but encounter some errors. The automatic installation with autogen.sh did not work so I decided to try it on my own.
I installed all needed prerequisites with apt-get and right now I try to fit the build.sh file to my system. To do so I need to know where Ubuntu installs programs loaded with apt-get. Some of them I could find in /usr/include/. Additionally I also installed the Intel Compilers and MPI for my user under ~/usr/intel/.
Does someone already installed Delft3D on Ubuntu 18.04 or 18.10? What is the difference between MPICH2 and the MPICH which comes with apt-get?
Thanks in advance, Cheers.
