Messages about invalid attributes in /etc/fonts/conf.d

I installed Ubuntu 21.10 and changed from gnome desktop to mate desktop. Now I get the following type of messages in /var/logs/syslog. How can I get rid of them?

I see it's Skype for Linux which complains. Did you possibly install that program via a snap? If so, I would suggest that you try to replace it with Skype for Linux DEB.

Yes, you're right, I installed it using snap. Ok I'll try your suggestion

Hi @GunnarHjalmarsson, now I get messages like this "Jan 10 17:54:12 media skypeforlinux.desktop[4320]: [4320:0110/175412.571953:ERROR:address_tracker_linux.cc(349)] Failed to recv from netlink socket: Permission denied (13)". I think there are thousands (it's actually eating all free space on my root partition). Do you have any Idea, how I could fix this?

Did you run `snap remove skypeforlinux` to remove the snap?

Hi @Gunnar, yes I performed "snap remove skypeforlinux"

Then I don't know. I have Skype for Linux (DEB) on 21.10 myself, and have not encountered the error message you mention in a comment.

Hmm thank you. Probably something went wrong when I switched to mate and changed my installation. When I have time I try to reinstall ubuntu, because I also have some strange behavior of CUDA some times.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
