Make Ubuntu wait for service to stop before rebooting
cn flag

I have a mini pc running Kubernetes (k3s) with homeassistant.

The issue leading to the question

When I do a sudo reboot (forgetting that the home assistant is running) the sqlite database becomes corrupted, presumably because it is writing to it as I am rebooting.

The question

Is there a mechanism to make Ubuntu wait for a service to shut down gracefully, to avoid this in the future?

Why is Yiddish keyboard layout not shipped with Ubuntu?
cn flag

Yiddish is a Germanic language written with a modified Hebrew alphabet. There is a keyboard layout specifically for it https://github.com/nevillepark/yiddish-keys-linux - which requires a skill to configure instead of simply choosing a keyboard layout in a list. Why is it not shipped with Ubuntu? How to push it to be shipped?

Problem with dual-monitor color calibration

I'm trying to calibrate my monitors using the recommended procedure: I plug in my colorimeter, open settings, click on color, click on the monitor, click Calibrate... and follow the prompts.

Unfortunately, the color calibration patch is always displayed on the primary monitor, regardless of which monitor I chose. This matters because my monitors are different models and ages.

How can I fix this?

Is there a way for GNOME to use only 1 side of Super key?

I found out via GNOME Tweaks that its possible to bind either left or right side of super key for the Overview. Is it possible to bind all shortcuts that use the super key to only 1 side of Super key (in my case, the right side) only?

I still need all Super keys to act as it should when running Teradici PCoIP or VMs, especially the left side.

Also, what is the gsettings schema of lock screen?

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.
