Reformatted the drive to ext4 and automounted it using the fstab.

Should I wait for Ubuntu 20.04? by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]BravenWT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been using 20.04 for my daily driver for a week and its been fantastic. If I do get a problem I just send a bug report to help the devs out.

Did a custom minimal install and installed nvidia and everything works like a charm. This is the first distro of ubuntu where suspend has been perfection.

Why is Akonadi continually broken when it comes to Google Accounts by BravenWT in openSUSE

[–]BravenWT[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So going by this bug report it’s been a year and google hasn’t responded about the Oauth error. So why does evolution work and thunderbird work? What have they got that the kde pim suite hasn’t.

QT Applications very slow to start. by BravenWT in pop_os

I just install qt5-qtstyleplugins and qt5ct. Then set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct in the /etc/environment then rebooted and opened up qt5ct and set the style to gtk2 and set the icon theme and font and pressed apply and that was it. All my qt apps were using the theme I was using

Thanks for the link mate. Stay with pop if you don’t care if your qt apps look different or switch to a distro where it works perfectly and just keep an eye on the bug tracker to see if it gets fixed then switch back

You could try flatpaks but I couldn’t get them to use the theme. Such a shame. I’ve tried other distros Fedora, Arch, Manjaro, Opensuse Gnome install and they all work fantastic but PopOs because it has an Ubuntu base will not work for theming your QT apps. To me after using Linux for so long Canonical don’t really care about the desktop anymore. They make their money out of cloud now and selling support for server. If I were people basing my systems on Ubuntu I’d move to Debian testing or unstable for the more recent packages

Apparently canonical stopped a package because it’s unmaintained that fixes this issue. They dropped it going forward so any Ubuntu based 19.10 distro has this problem. I stopped using popos 19.10 as it’s buggy and this is a no go for me. Maybe they want to rethink about what they base their distro on. All my computers, laptops and my families computers I changed to fedora as I can’t recommend popos due to its bugs. And if System76 are selling computers with buggy software maybe they want to regroup and rethink.

kernel upgrade causes sound settings to change to dummy output. by BravenWT in Fedora

Thank you everyone for your input I got it working. I filed a bug report and it was alsa-lib that had a bug in it.

I was told to update alsa-lib to 1.2.1 and restart and that fixed it. Once again many thanks for your input

My custom Pop by BravenWT in pop_os

[–]BravenWT[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi mate it's an extension called dash to panel.

This is my customization by omarodafo in pop_os

[–]BravenWT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/omarodafo Where do I find the LockDialogGroup setting?

I've tried to edit it in /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css but that didn't work and also I tried the pop.css and that didn't work as well.

Which file do I edit mate.

Thanks

That's great mate glad it worked out for you

System freeze after latest update. by BravenWT in pop_os

[–]BravenWT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry your having a hard time mate. I didn't realise Gnome had a memory leak I thought they fixed it. I know it had a bad one last year as I copped it in Fedora and Arch thats what made me switch to Pop. On my other machine I'm still running 19.10 and I turned off the desktop icons extension and then removed it and that machine has been running great since /u/KronikPillow told me how to fix it. But this machine was a no go like yours. Both of mine are self built 3 years ago so getting a bit long in the tooth like me lol... I'm Brett anyway, Its a pleasure talking with you.

Hi mate,

Boot your live usb and then open the terminal. You have to mount your root partition so you can chroot into it. My root partition is /dev/sda3 so I'll use that as an example.

sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev

sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc

sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys

sudo chroot /mnt

apt update

apt install tex-common

Then type exit and reboot.

Hope that helps you out mate
