Can I Set Different Languages to 2 Keyboards?
us flag

I have read that it is possible but the instructions didn't work for me. I wonder if Ubuntu has changed since then.

Specifically I used xinput and setxkbmap on Ubuntu 21.04, but setxkbmap didn't do anything.

Suspend doesn't lock screen on 21.04 MATE
co flag

Since upgrading to 21.04 MATE, I've noticed that intermittently the screen-lock doesn't always come on when you press the suspend button.

I'm running a desktop with power on all the time. It is the same whether I press Suspend through the menu or use the lockscreen shortcut.

I have been upgrading MATE continuously since 18.04 and never encountered this issue before.

As a result, it randomly opens dialog boxes, or the top notification and date panel, or will randomly resize the windows...

However I noticed that when the Ethernet cable is plugged in to my host machine (wired interface eno1), the forwarding of traffic stops but pinging from client to wg0 still works.

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.
