Ubuntu 20.04, Snap Store does not start
cn flag
raj

Suddenly, Snap Store does not start. When started from the terminal, it displays the message:

/snap/snap-store/518/usr/bin/snap-store: symbol lookup error: /snap/snap-store/518/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: atk_plug_set_child

Did some recent update maybe break something? How to fix it?

(I can use GNOME Software as workaround, that works correctly)

How can I set the destination to "anywhere" in the iptables?
us flag

As far as i understood with the following rule:

ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             172.17.0.4           tcp dpt:25565

ubuntu allows connection via port 25565 but only to 172.17.0.4, but i want it to be reachable from anywhere. Ive tried something like

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25565 -j ACCEPT -d anywhere

Is it possible to write a MIDI driver for an HID device?
mx flag

I have the Mad Catz Wireless Fender Mustang Pro-Guitar for Nintendo Wii. The wireless USB dongle is recognised as an HID device. The guitar controller has a MIDI port and can be wired as a MIDI device.

My objective is to write a driver that can make the HID device function like a MIDI controller. Is that even possible?

Are there examples of such a device that I can base myself on?

Why do we need Wayland (or X)?
in flag

I'm not sure why we need Wayland (or X) at all. Since under wayland applications will be drawing themselves then what is the point of wayland? Applications can draw their own windows and widgets, can't they?

What is it that we can't do without Wayland (or X)?

Ubuntu failure to start up

I'm not going to be able to provide all the information you will need to sort out my specific problem, but I wanted some general advice on what to do when Ubuntu won't load (for future issues).

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.
