Restoring correct file permissions for /var/

Ubuntu 22.04 not waking up after second suspend

After the first suspend it wakes up just fine - it's the second suspend after which the screen stays blank and keyboard doesn't react (although the power LED starts glowing). It happens if I close the laptop's lid or do a manual suspend via the system menu.

Ubuntu 22.04.2 UI elements cause mouse stuttering

I am using an old AM3+ AMD PC with Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. Unlike my other more modern PC's, this one is having severe problems with mouse cursor lag and stuttering.

My settings app vanished
de flag

Like... the in-built app you use in Ubuntu to change system settings. It's... gone. What?

Normally it should show up in this menu at the top right of the screen. I also can't find it by searching for "settings" in the launcher. IIRC the app is called "gnome-settings", and running that in a terminal does nothing either.

A reboot has not fixed the issue.

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.
