A few weeks ago, after one of the regular kernel updates, my wireless USB keyboard started acting strangely. In certain types of text fields (and I'm not even sure which types, specifically),...
The problem seems to have fixed itself. Still unsure what was causing it. The self-fix doesn't seem to have coincided with a subsequent update of any installed software. Makes me wonder if this was...
I did a software update this afternoon (2023-12-14) using the "Software Updater" utility that comes packaged with Ubuntu Desktop. It had me reboot after the updates were done, but now the system will...
Question about WhatsDesk application
Hello, everyone. Posted this here, because I didn't think it was appropriate for the Ubuntu Support forums. Since there isn't a Linux-native port of WhatsApp, I've been using the WhatsDesk wrapper...
@TheFu
That's really good insight, thanks. But it would be nice to see the progress of the copy process. The only way to know if the data write has been completed, I have to wait for the sync...
No, that's the problem. That circle doesn't appear. I remember that circle from earlier, but I haven't seen it in a couple months now.
No copy progress meter in Files app
When I copy large files between drives (internal or external) in the Files app, there is no meter or indication of the progress of the copy operation. It appears as if the file has immediately...
OK, I fixed it. The update to Ubuntu moved me from kernel 5.15 to 5.19. On the AskUbuntu site, I followed the link to the GitHub site that contains the driver. There's a section down in the readme...
My Lenovo Ideapad 1 (15ALC7) has a RealTek 8852BE wireless network adapter. I had to follow the instructions here to get the computer connected to Wifi after I bought it, but after that, it was...
That's an idea, but I have a couple concerns...
Where even is the binary for Firefox now that it's a snap?
Wouldn't that cause a situation where you need to re-clone the binary every time...
On most new Chromebooks, there is an option in the Chrome OS settings panel to enable a Linux VM. It installs a bare-bones version of Debian (v10, at my last check), and you can install anything on...
Marking this as "unsolved" again, since Jammy doesn't want to cooperate with what worked in Focal.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this? I want separate instances/profiles in Firefox to appear in...
I upgraded yesterday from Focal to Jammy, and I'd like to re-install a game I was playing called Endless Sky (fun, top-view space shooter similar to the old EV Override series). After adding the game...
Unfortunately, this solution no longer works after the upgrade to LTS 22.04.1, and Firefox's switch to Snap. The launcher icon shows up in the applications launcher, but it launches under the Firefox...
Anyone have ideas on this? All Nvidia packages are held back every time I run sudo apt upgrade. This is causing issues like applications opening with invisible windows, and even audio issues. What...
Still getting the screen flicker while playing certain full-screen games and videos. I've also run into another issue that I feel should be mentioned here. Since I performed this, every time one of...
OK, it's running the way I wanted it now. I created a new class by running firefox --class=WhatsApp, and then changing the .sh file to execute
firefox --new-instance -P WhatsApp --class=WhatsApp...
I'm not familiar with GTK classes. Do I just use an arbitrary name for the class, like firefox --class WhatsApp to create the class, and then stick StartupWMClass=WhatsApp in the .desktop file? Will...
I set up a new profile called "App" in Firefox to run WhatsApp Web in its own window with a customized interface. Essentially, I'm trying to make it look like its own application separate from...
Just checking in to see if anyone can help further. I purged PulseAudio from my system, and then reinstalled it. Unfortunately, I still get the same issue: no streams are listed in the "Recording tab...
I think (at least part of) the problem is PulseAudio. When I'm recording in Audacity, nothing appears in the Recording tab of PulseAudio (screenshot).
Also, after I open PulseAudio, Audacity...
Yes, I can record from the mic with default/default. I want to record the audio being played by the computer, not the mic input. While Audacity is recording from the mic, PulseAudio still says no...
There are two results to this. The first is when I start recording on Audacity, and then open Pulse Audio. The second is when I open Pulse Audio first, and then start recording in Audacity...
1....
No joy. The audio file played fine, and it looked like Audacity was recording, but the Recording tab of PulseAudio was still blank while the audio played.

I'm trying to record a sound clip from my system, but I can't get Audacity to record from any device other than the built-in mic (ALSA/default). I have PulseAudio Volume Control installed, and all...
