[ubuntu] Changing path in Nautilus sidebar

$

Hi, I've been unable to find a way around this -

I have a relatively small SSD with Ubuntu 20.04 installed and a large HDD that I use for storage (also with my Windows partition).

I'd like to change the path in the sidebar for Music, Videos, etc.

I mount the Storage HDD at startup so it appears in /mnt and I see it correctly at boot, so I edited user-dirs.dirs to point at the correct directories but on a reboot the file has changed back to default.

Any help out there?

Cheers,

Brunty

[ubuntu] Change Launcher Icon?

[lubuntu] Laptop tap-to-click not working in Lubuntu 20.04

$
0
0
This is on an Asus X200MA laptop. It's currently running Xubuntu 14.04 which works well aside from being unsupported. My thought was that Lubuntu would be the most suitable upgrade since this is an older low-end laptop, so I booted it up for a test drive.

RIght off the bat a major disappointment is that tapping on the touchpad to generate a mouse click does not work. Other than that performance is very good. I also tried Ubuntu Mate 20.04 and tapping to click does work in that version. However it is noticeably slower on this weak hardware. (Have not tried Xubuntu 20.04 yet.)

Any way to get this working on Lubuntu 20.04? I did not see anything relevant in the mouse settings.

Screen keeps turning off

Hello community !
First of all , i would like to express my gratitude for this wonderful distribution.
here is the problem, i'm on a Asus rog g74sx, the screen is randomly being turn off, the only way to turn it on is to unplug the power cable then plug it back ( if it happens when the power cable is pluged , then when i plug it out the screen turns on, and if it happens when the power is unpluged , the screen will turn on when i plug it).
PS: i deactivated the standby and also i keep the screen turned on even when i close the laptop cover.
dpms is off ( i guess , i did a command with dpms to set it off)
i'm a noob at linux, thank you very much for your help as i really appreciate this distrubution.

[ubuntu] No sound - dummy output

Hi guys, I'm new here, and new to Ubuntu in general. I have just installed the OS (18.04) to dual-boot with Windows 10, and it's given me plenty of trouble, but that's beside the point. My main issue right now is that my TV speaker is not recognized and all that is shown in the sound settings is dummy output. Now, I've been searching online for answers left and right for a couple hours, trying every terminal command I could dare to look at, but nothing has worked. Could anyone assist me?

For extra info, I have an old Element TV (ELEFT281 I believe), and my computer is an iBuyPower desktop. Sound card is NVIDIA High-Definition Audio.

Hi,

I recently installed Lubuntu. Power Management at the login screen will put the monitors to sleep. When logged in, the screen save kicks in but the monitors won't go to sleep.

I've enabled everything possible in Power Management.

Thank you.

[ubuntu] All icons are missing

Hey,
After a restarted Ubuntu after the upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04, I cannot see any icons any more. Moreover, nautilus is not opening any more (it just does not show up longer).
Reinstalling Nautilus via Terminal did not help at all, so I guess there is another thing being wrong.

If you have a look on the screenshot here:
280BDF10-3411-4C65-A88A-6E6BFAF4D825.jpg


the three dots on each window are not existing anymore, the "9 points" in the upper right corner to open the program overview is missing, there are no symbols on the desktop any more and on the upper right corner, the wifi symbol any other things are missing.


It is quite difficult for me to google solutions for it, because I don't really know what to search for "icons missing" does not really give me solutions.


Does anyone know how to solve this?

My start up time increased and doesnt match that given by systemd-analyze

Hi all,

Ive tried to search for an answer to this but I can find. So would appreciate help.

Ubuntu is installed on the my SSD and have a separate HDD in the computer. The HHD is just for data, but it used to have a ~500MB boot partition that was left over from way back when i had Win7 installed on that HDD. I recently deleted that partition to stop the grub screen firing on boot.

Since I did this the grub menu doesnt show anymore but the total boot and start time increased from 13 to 23 seconds.


Now, during start up the splash screen (which shows the Ubuntu logo) no longer shows. Previously it did. Instead, the screen goes off at this point and the system seems to stall, then after a while it goes straight to the log in screen.

As i said, it takes ~23secs to start up but when I run systemd-analyze in the terminal these are my results:

Code:

Startup finished in 1.499s (kernel) + 6.460s (userspace) = 7.959s
graphical.target reached after 6.449s in userspace

When I run systemd-analyze critical-chain these are my results:

Code:

graphical.target @6.449s
└─multi-user.target @6.449s
  └─unattended-upgrades.service @3.006s
    └─systemd-logind.service @2.120s +884ms

                                  └─system.slice @283ms
                                    └─-.slice @283ms

Ive timed my start up 5 times and its always ~23seconds, definitely not ~8 seconds that these results claim.

I'm assuming when the screen goes blank the OS 'disconnects' or something, hence it not registering the whole time??

Any ideas? Might this be to do with my deleteing of the partition on my HDD?

Thanks for any help!

PS - just updated to 20.04 and its the same.

QT Apps take an age to open

$

Using fully updated Xubuntu 20.04.
2 of my go to apps are keepassx and vlc. Both are QT apps and on opening take between 10-20 seconds to open. I think it has something to do with theming. On 18.04 the QT5CT package was needed to theme. Now it seems to be done automatically but with this side effect.
Anyone have any ideas?

issue with ubuntu 18.04 sssd + Win AD

$

Hi,


I have to connect Ubuntu 18.04 with SSSD to a Windows AD.
We have lot's of other linux servers (mostly RHEL) with SSSD running so I thought I transfer the sssd.conf, do the necessary changes and I'm done.

Kerberos, nsswitch, pam.d, etc. are set up.


To check the transferred config I have run "sss_ctl config-check" which throw some errors and I fixed them except these:
Code:

Attribute 'ad_search_base' is not allowed in section 'domain/mydomain.sys'
Attribute 'ldap_sasl_realm' is not allowed in section 'domain/mydomain.sys'
Attribute 'ldap_user_member' is not allowed in section 'domain/mydomain.sys'


It seems that there is no equivalent for these in Ubuntu.


So I have disabled them and started sssd, but this is what I get in /var/log/sssd/sssd_mydomain.self.log:
Code:

[sbus_issue_request_done] (0x0040): sssd.dataprovider.getDomains: Error [1432158215]: DP target is not configured
[sbus_issue_request_done] (0x0040): sssd.dataprovider.getDomains: Error [1432158215]: DP target is not configured
[sbus_issue_request_done] (0x0040): sssd.dataprovider.getDomains: Error [1432158215]: DP target is not configured


I couldn't find anything related to this.

And when I try to log in with ssh, this is in the logs:
Code:

Group members are ignored, nothing to do. If you see this message it might indicate an error in the group processing logic.
sdap_ad_resolve_sids_done] (0x0020): Unable to resolve SID S-1-5-........... - will try next sid.



I'm out of ideas, any help is appreciated.

Has anyone ever encounter this problem before?

Ubuntu 19.10 desktop taking too long to boot

Dear friends,

Hope you are doing fine. I am happy that I was able to install Ubuntu 19.10 64 bit Desktop onto a brand new 500 GB hard drive without any glitch whatsoever, but after having updated and installing a few packages manually I am facing a weird issue now. Whenever I try to boot Ubuntu I just see a black screen and nothing else, while the PC is running properly and not shutting itself down or restarting at random, for no apparent reason. Ubuntu does not boot even if I wait for an hour. Can you please guide me as to what might have gone wrong? How can I get into rescue mode, if any?Thanks

I have posted a small video showing what the actual problem is. Thanks

[ubuntu] Extension issues with Ubuntu 20.04 update

$

The 20.04 stable update rolled out today, and although it feels much more cleaner and snappier, I am facing some major problems after the update.


1) Snap Store says that automatic updates are paused because the computer is connected to a metered network. I made sure that the network was not set to metered, and also tried switching to another network. Still, it doesn't seem to solve the problem.


2) Problem with many extensions.

These extensions give error

  • GSConnect has stopped working.
  • Dynamic panel transparency (To make Title bar transparent) has stopped working

These extensions dont give an error in tweak tools, still they don't work as intended or don't work at all

  • Internet speed meter values are alligned unsymetrically.
  • Coverflow Alt+tab has stopped working
  • Cpu power manager (similar to cpufreq) doesnt work.

3) Text in right click menu for some apps is overlapping

4) Cpu and Gpu temps running slightly higher compared to 19.10
(This may be due to cpu power manager not working or the update may have made changes to the tlp package)

I've since installed Fish Shell and a different user, and now I don't see this message anymore. I'm wondering, where's the code that generates this welcome screen?
I'd like to get some of these stats back. Like the list of available updates and system stats are very useful, so I'd like to program my Fish Shell to show these.
Thanks!

Server 20.04 on a laptop:how do I disable boot-lid actions but console power save.

$
0

Moving on from my last disaster.

I have start a fresh, and installed Ubuntu Server 20.04 on a Dell laptop which will server some dockers on my network

I've installed the GUI because i'd like it there, for my own personal peace of mind although as ever it'll probably cause me more trouble than necessary.

I'm now back asking exactly the same previous questions I guess:

  1. How do I disable the fresh installed GUI booting automatically, so it just boots to console?
  2. How do I disable the boot lid actions, make the do nothing?
  3. How do i enable console blanking and display power saving features. So the display actually turns off.


I think I have an extra question:
It looks like i'm ok booting up conneted to Ethernet, but if I unplug the eno1 check fails and the boot hangs for quite a while, because it doesn't connect to wifi? When the GUI loads up it connects to wifi instantly so that's saved somewhere, but boot isnt checking there.

In the spirit of not breaking it first and asking questions later, or copying other things I've seen written elsewhere on the internet, I hope someone can help me up front first!

Cheers :)

[ubuntu] 20.04 Dual Screen Issues

$

Hi Everyone,
I've just installed fresh 20.04 and I only see one of my two monitors. If I unplug one of them then the other one works perfectly but if I connect the two monitors the "Displays" configuration screens only shows one (iGfx).

In NVIDIA X Server Settings in the "Server Display Configuration" menu de "Detect Displays" button also fail to detect the monitor.

Here is my setup:
Nvidia RTX2060
Intel 630 integrated in the mother
Dual boot machine; in Windows it does work and till 19.10 was working too.
I am not an expert but I've been using Ubuntu for the last 8 years or so.

Thank you for your help!

[ubuntu] Grsync Starts Very Slowly In 20.04

$
0
0
I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 20.04 on two machines, and in both cases, Grsync takes a very long time to start. I tried it with both a fresh grsync.ini file and my existing one, and it made no difference.

To give you an idea of how slow Grysnc's startup really is, here's the start time of LibreOffice Writer as shown by the time command:
Code:

time libreoffice --writer

real        0m2.771s
user        0m1.130s
sys        0m0.108s

and here's the start time of Grsync:
Code:

time grsync

real        0m37.736s
user        0m0.210s
sys        0m0.016s

So LibreOffice starts in only 2.771 seconds, and it takes Grsync 37.736 seconds to start!

When starting from the command line, Grsync does throw an error about the "canberra-gtk-module" not being installed, so I installed libcanberra-gtk-module, which prevents the error, but does nothing for the slow startup.

Has anyone had the same issue? Any suggestions on how to further troubleshoot this?

[xubuntu] Conky: no transparent window

Clean install of Xubuntu 20.04 on my machine in dual boot with 18.04.

Conky will not show a transparent display on 20.04 but does so on 18.04 using the same .conkyrc config file. Anybody have any clues why this is happening?

I'm not on that laptop at present so can't attach the config file but will do so when able.
