How to disable filesystem expansion on Ubuntu for desktops?
au flag

I flashed Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.1 LTS to disk and removed x-systemd.growfs from /etc/fstab before booting Pi.

/etc/init.d/resizefs_once doesn’t exist on Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.1 LTS image.

Filesystem is still expanded somehow.

How can I disable that?

Sometimes i can't login after screen lock due to inactivity or suspend. I type in password, it processes 5 seconds and then clears out the password. Trying several times doesn't work. Only after restart i can login. I couldn't figure out frequency and reason of it, for me its totally random. My laptop is: Lenovo Lenovo IdeaPad S540-14IWL. Thank you in advance!

Extend VG on Ubuntu 20.04 server

I have an Ubuntu 20.04 server (this is in my home lab) that was originally setup with only 25GB of space. I've ended up using this server more than I thought I would for some home lab services and it has now run out of space. This is on a VMWare ESXi 8 server so I shut down the VM and bumped the disk up to 100GB. How do I go about extending the VG/LV to use the full capacity available?

Where is the screen rotate lock in Ubuntu 22.10?

Where is the screen rotation lock in Ubuntu 22.10 ?

(This prevents the display from rotating, if you rotate your laptop screen by 90°, 180°, or 270°).

I expected this to be available in the quick settings popup, but it is not there. I searched in the Settings app, and did not find it there.

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.
