I don't know what update did it, but problem 2 now seems to be solved! When I hit "Show Apps" now, even after the computer has been running for hours or days, it functions as it should. The 23.04...

The only reason I've been avoiding Wayland has been because of the second problem I listed: if I need to restart the desktop to get applications to show in the Show Apps window, Wayland won't let me...

That Mutter fix may have fixed the first problem for me: the buttons are now all on the left upon booting so I don't have to hit alt-F2-r after booting. (At least for today.)

I installed Ubuntu 23.04 on two different computers, one with an Intel CPU and the other with an AMD CPU. Both were upgradess from Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic) by running do-release-upgrade -d so they...

Yeah, I don't usually keep the proposed repository enabled, either. After the fresh installations, though, I figured there might be new things coming down soon and I wanted to see how it'd go. ...

Thanks. However, I just checked that and it isn't it: it's enabled on both computers.

I'm running two fresh installs of Ubuntu 20.04, one on a Dell desktop and the other on a System76 laptop. I run updates every day on both: however, although the kernel has been updated several times...

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04, and it seems to have Python3.8 already:


mdk@jalapano:~$ python3
Python 3.8.2 (default, Mar 13 2020, 10:14:16)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux

Maybe you just needed to run an...

I haven't used grsync in some time so I don't know when the slowness started, but I checked and had the same result as you: it takes over 30 seconds to open. I installed it from Ubuntu Software, and...

There is no specific time. From past experience, it can happen anytime during the day. Patience!

I don't recall if the "minimal" disk image is usually released at the same time, but I suspect it...

Sometime in the past day or so this was fixed on my systems: thumbnail images displayed on the desktop are again normal sized. It might have happened with this morning's updates - Friday 17 April -...

For that to work, I think, you have to use Gnome Tweaks. Under Appearance, choose a dark shell (e.g. Yaru Dark), and it will apply the dark theme to the notifications and to the settings in the...

Perhaps you're running an older version: a few weeks ago that dot changed to a bell with a line through it to indicate that indicators are off. (At least on my systems.)

Does it matter if you're running Wayland or x-org? I don't know about Discord and Telegram, but in the past I've found some programs that didn't work well with one or the other.

I like the "Do Not Disturb" setting that turns off notifications on the Gnome desktop, but I find that the setting does not stick. That is, after a reboot, I need to turn off notifications again. I...

I don't use Steam so I don't really know, but I just checked in the snap store - which isn't just snaps - and I saw "Steam installer." That might be what you want, and it's not a snap.

Yes, I've...

I was just now able to install Atom again using snap:


sudo snap install atom --classic

Also, I now have the software store back, now called the snap store. Search for it in the Dash under...

Yes, but evidently python2 is still installed:


:~$ python
Python 2.7.18rc1 (default, Apr 7 2020, 12:05:55)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux2

It seems that python2 hasn't been removed, but just one or...

chris-c-thomas, it looks like I'm having the same problem, but with a different application:

This morning on one of my computers I found the programming editor Atom missing on one of my computers...

I have the exact same problem, been having it for maybe two months. In my case, thumbnails are stretched out, but icons are normal. And that seems to be the problem: things represented by icons...

Some of the usual default AppIndicator icons are showing in the top panel of Ubuntu 18.10 - battery, network, sound, etc. - but those of some third-party apps are unable to be shown. I always get an...

JD82's comment - about using a post-installation script for Ubuntu - does not apply in my case, nor for most people, I suspect. Appindicators still do not work for a number of applications - in my...

I had the same problem exactly, but later updates have fixed the problem. You might give Saucy another run with the updates and see how it does.

I'm impressed! That would be a very difficult problem to track down. Congratulations on finding what was causing the problem (although it's probably more annoying because the fix will cost you a...

Just to try to help a tiny bit: You've posted your question in a section (Ubuntu+1) that deals with testing the version of Ubuntu that is currently in development and is scheduled to be released in a...
