I'm having this issue under Xubuntu 21.10 (kernel 5.11.0-41-generic) where, when clicking on a USB external drive label in Thunar's sidebar after I've plugged it in (so it shows up but is still unmounted) gets the drive mounted with a different "label" each time. It's getting mounted under the same location, but the folder it's getting mounted at is "/media/$USER/DRIVE_NAME$NUMBER", where $NUMBER is a n ...

I wonder if anyone encountered a similar problem before and figured out a fix for it.

I got a laptop computer that has a Quadro M1000M and runs Xubuntu 20.04. The problem is that if I use the laptop's monitor, there would be a horizontal band of jitter (around 24 rows of pixels on the bottom of the screen, sometimes more, sometimes less, but the rest of the screen looks fine), which is ver ...

My problem is a bit specific. I have two monitors. Under Xubuntu 18.04, I want my wallpaper to change every hour and be randomly chosen in my pictures directory, but the wallpapers should be the same across my two screens.

I tried setting up my two screens at the same time, but when an hour pass my screens display two different wallpapers (because the new one is randomly chosen).

I want to edit the keyboard layout for the language Nepali. That's for fixing a weird inconvenience.

The way the layout works is that every key is assigned a non aspirated Nepali consonant and by pressing the key with Shift, you get the aspirated versions. Except, not with the key 'C' for some reason. The expected output from it would be 'च'(t͡s) and pressing 'C' with Shift should give 'छ'(t͡sÊ ...

I'm seeing the exact same problem listed here on multiple flavors of Ubuntu.

I have searched far and wide for how to recover the audio functionality to absolutely no avail (I could list the links, but I would need to find them again and many were hidden in obscure corners of the interwebs).

I'm setting up Xubuntu (so I'm using the default Desktop Environment xfce) and just changed my default terminal to alacritty by modifying the terminal utility in the "Default Applications" tool.

That worked fine apart from one thing: When I start Alacritty for example from desktop right-click "Open Terminal here", it's started with working directory set to ~/Desktop, I would like for this to be just

So after using regular Ubuntu I decided to get Xubuntu for a windows 95 theme. After getting Chicago 95 and installing it all was well until I rebooted the system. Now when my laptop boots up it's shows up my company logo -> windows 95 loading screen -> company logo where it is now stuck. I have tried using recovery mode but maybe I've done something wrong since it's still stuck. What can I do?

My mssql-server service has a bad habit of not being stopped at shutdown. To remedy this, I've navigated to ~/lib/systemd/system-shutdown and created the file sqlKill.shutdown containing exactly the following

#!/bin/sh

Is this a sufficient and safe way to force MSSQL server to stop at shutdown?

It seems that the problem appears not only when I close the lid, but also if the computer stays idle for some time.

I have an Ubuntu 21.10 and I get the below confusing network status related to ppp0; RDS (aka StamAcasa.rdsne) is the name of my network connection providing access to Internet.
