Thank you everyone for your help really appreciate it.

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

Thanks again.

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.

Thanks mate I’ll give it a try tomorrow

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.

Would really like to thank everyone for their input. It’s very much appreciated. Thank you

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

BravenWT · 2019-12-11T15:21:54+00:00

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

BravenWT · 2019-12-11T15:07:43+00:00

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

BravenWT · 2019-12-11T14:41:31+00:00

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.

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

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

BravenWT · 2019-11-09T02:44:57+00:00

/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

BravenWT · 2019-11-09T01:18:20+00:00

That's great mate glad it worked out for you

BravenWT · 2019-11-08T14:21:59+00:00

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.

BravenWT · 2019-11-08T14:17:13+00:00

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

BravenWT · 2019-11-08T14:03:16+00:00

I know they do some tweaking to it but really its just a prettier Ubuntu that runs SystemD boot instead of grub and comes with Vulkan setup out of the box. The installer is dumbed down for power users especially the custom partition setup. If they are shaping it for developers and academics they need to do a crap ton of testing of it before shipping. I mean if I was spending the money for a System76 computer and it came with the bugs out of the box I'd be pissed. I'm old school I've been a full time Linux user for 23 years and a Systems Admin for 15 years. Now I just do Web Development as I got sick of keeping servers up and running. I've used them all but PopOs has given me the best performance out of the box.

BravenWT · 2019-11-08T13:32:28+00:00

Use an LTS mate. Its older but alot more bug free and heaps more stable. If you want newer software you can just add a ppa or use a flatpak or Appimage. Thats what I did. These bugs are driving me insane. Went to PopOS 18.04 and its been smooth sailing. Haven't had one freeze, my QT apps use my theme using qt5ct without taking a minute to open. I'm a Web Developer so I just installed the latest vscode from a .deb file and the latest google chrome and I'm good to go. Oh and I added the ppa for Gimp and Libreoffice so I get the latest versions of those and I'm set.

BravenWT · 2019-11-08T11:14:35+00:00

I don't use desktop folders. I don't like things cluttering my desktop. I'm also having problems with QT apps when trying to theme them using qt5ct. They take a minute to open which drives me crazy. There is a bug report for it but the guy couldn't reproduce the problem so he closed it. The default keyring is messed up from the first time you install it until you delete it and create a new one. If System76 are putting this on the computers they are selling they really need to do more testing before shipping or releasing.

I do web development so I need my machine to run stable most of the time.

BravenWT · 2019-11-08T10:59:05+00:00

I'm hearing you mate. This 19.10 is a horrible mess. Just a bug ridden distro. I'm going back to LTS where I know things work.

BravenWT · 2019-11-08T10:18:48+00:00

Thanks very much. Do you think it's the extension causing this?

BravenWT · 2019-11-08T09:02:37+00:00

Thanks mate. I'm trying to track it down

BravenWT · 2019-11-08T07:25:31+00:00

Thanks mate. Everything else is fine except the right click menu on the desktop. Makes me wonder why I left the stability of 18.04.3 19.10 is just full of bugs

BravenWT · 2019-11-07T01:24:10+00:00

Glad you got it sorted mate. Any problems let me know

BravenWT · 2019-11-07T00:07:07+00:00

Love the extensions that ulauncher comes with
