No, that's incorrect. Ubuntu is just a distribution, a software component. Canonical is the organisation that creates and maintains Ubuntu.

It's the same with Windows and Microsoft. Microsoft...

No, that's incorrect. The first party for Ubuntu is Canonical. Ubuntu is nothing more than a distribution. The team behind Ubuntu is Canonical.

@hyperlinxe, I simply don't understand what you are after.

Nothing whatsoever stops you from customising Ubuntu, or indeed any other distribution. In fact, that's exactly what many people have...

You were asking about first party, not third party. Canonical is the first party for Ubuntu.

I'm not entirely clear what you are asking, but Canonical (who develops Ubuntu) does provide paid support, if that's what you mean.

Canonical doesn't provide free support other than through...

@kiwi9 — Thank you for this. Do you think that these will work on non-KDE systems? Ubuntu uses GNOME.

Here in the UK, some banks do well, but others definitely don't. My bank insists on 2FA, but it's actually not; it's 1FA, twice, i.e. two different passwords. That doesn't count as 2FA!

I figured that perhaps it would be better to just start again, and curiously enough, this time it worked perfectly!

So, thank you!

That's a great resource, thank you! I installed gettext, and the make command worked.

Unfortunately, the next required command failed:

I have installed the newly-available Warp terminal for Linux, and I'm most impressed by it.

I am shocked, though, at how hard it is to change the default terminal in Ubuntu! It's ridiculous.

Thank you for the information, MAFoElffen. That was quick work.

I know that I'm a little late to this, but there have been some corruption problems found with ZFS and encryption. That's not to say that this was your problem, but you should be aware.

I've seen this a number of times on various websites.

Sometimes, when you use a link that has http instead of https, the website isn't set up to immediately redirect to https. This leads to the...

What's your kernel version?

Good luck with your mouse!

It should be present for both Wayland and X.Org.

Update:

This does indeed seem to be linked with the Night Light. When I turn Night Light either on or off, the problem immediately recurs. If the Night Light remains on, the problem happens every...

That's interesting! It's been behaving today, but as soon as I manually enabled the Night Light, the problem returned!

I shall experiment a little with that, and add the information to the bug...

Thank you. But, could I ask, what would be the point of this? The xrandr command works perfectly; it's something else in the background that changes the brightness every 60 seconds.

This looks like I'll have to learn how Actiona works. If I try to run my script as you suggest ("bright" is the name of my script):

$ actexec --script bright

No, it's a simple Bash script with a loop that includes "sleep .3s" and the xrandr command. I don't always need to run this; it's highly inconsistent.

The xrandr command does work correctly. It's...

You assume correctly :)

New information:

I am using xrandr --brightness… in a background script that repeats every third of a second, to keep the brightness where I need it whenever the system resets it to 100%.

Ha ha, OK.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work well for me. Even with gamma 0.1, the brightness is too high while messing up the colours on the monitor.

Excellent, thank you!
