Temporary failure in Name Resolution PHP-Ubuntu
in flag

I keep getting this error very frequent:

Severity: Warning --> mysqli::real_connect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution

This issue gets resolved only after Server restart. Considering this happens over a live server having millions of requests daily, restarting isn't a best option.

So, my estimated battery charge remains since yesterday at 100% while the remaining time reads 135 hours and 19 minutes.

I wish it was true, but I'm pretty sure it wont last that long.

I've been having this issue since yesterday. My laptop (ACER Aspire R) was at 77% charge, I left my workstation for literally two minutes to get a book from the shelf and when I returned it was suspended (note: I have ...

I'm trying to build the kernel from here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git/

Can some body help me with how to resize my Ubuntu partition?

So that I can increase the space available to Windows 10?

Can I change my window manager without changing my DE?
in flag
Rei

I am currently running Ubuntu Studio with Budgie as its DE, I then installed Compiz (Since I want the jiggley/wobbly windows) and when I used compiz --replace it's looking weird and some functions are unusable (like dragging desktop) and some of the minimize, maximize, and close buttons are on the bottom of the top panel of budgie.

Thanks!

How do I increase the font size of the Unity Game Engine's editor UI in Ubuntu 20.04?
am flag

Is there a way to make the Unity Game Engine's editor UI font size larger? The font size on the editor view is different than the size of the menu bar's and the rest of the applications I run on my computer (presumably 1.25x as I am using Gnome Tweaks to set my font scaling to 1.25).

If I had to guess, the Unity editor only seems to be using the default 100% scaling setting for its embedded conte ...

Displays not showing updated monitor

Ubuntu 21.04. I have a dual monitor display. I recently upgraded one of my monitors from a 1080p to a 4k monitor.

I just recently installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my PC. For some reason, there's only one resolution detected for my monitors (1024 x 768 :: 4:3) and no other option to change to. It's also only detecting my central monitor and neither of my other monitors. The monitor also shows up as "unknown display". I've already tried running the xrandr commands to try and fix it, but each time, I get a "Failed to get  ...

Ubuntu live USB boots to wallpaper without UI elements

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
