Dave Rolsky's questions

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 the lock screen is showing the wrong time, one hour later than the actual time. However, the time my system shows when it's not locked is correct,and it's set via NTP.

I'm using Gnome with gdm3 as the display manager.

My time zone is America/Chicago. I did a grep through /etc and I didn't find anything referencing another time zone.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 using a Das Keyboard 4. After a reboot today three of my media keys stopped working, the pause/play key and the prev/next track keys.

However, the mute key and the volume wheel still work.

I tried the following things with no success:

• Going into the keyboards shortcuts settings and setting the keys for these shortcuts explicitly. It does seem to register the keypress but setting or clearing the shortcut doesn't help.
• Messing around in dconf-editor per discussion in Media Keys not working on Ubuntu 17.10 - I tried clearing the setting for these shortcuts entirely and that did nothing.
• I tried creating a custom shortcut to run dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.rhythmbox /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause per that same discussion, but I cannot associate it with the pause/play key from the keyboard shortcuts app. When I try to set the shortcut for this custom command it simply doesn't register the pause/play key being pressed. If I bind it to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P it does work (but I want my media keys!).

This is incredibly annoying. If anyone has any idea how to fix it I'd be greatly appreciative.
