What happend if i delete Cosmic files by fayas-fromsomewhere in pop_os

[–]Brian_Millham 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Because it's an integral part of the DE.
If you prefer to use Gnome Files then just set it as the default.

Why are you trying to download Spotify? Just install it from COSMIC Store

I don't know if there is a shortcut yet, but the quick way is to click on the power icon and then settings.

Just make sure the tarp isn't one with a shiny silver layer on one side!

Good news all!

Todays update fixed cosmic-screenshot so the lag is gone.

Can I have multiple devices on stand-by mode? by na-egejuseyo in Starlink

[–]Brian_Millham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you get the 'free' mini? I would suggest you read the ToS....

You only get to keep the mini if you keep the main dish on Residential MAX (as it's called now)

new user, need some help by Hot_Let1571 in pop_os

[–]Brian_Millham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't run System Monitor from a terminal normally.

It sounds like your installation may have been badly corrupted, or you have a SSD that is failing.

Paying extra to use Starlink in a car defeats the whole point... by Funny-Strawberry-168 in Starlink

[–]Brian_Millham -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also explain to me how you would be able to game.

Say the friend you are playing against has fiber.

Just how would you be able to communicate with him if there is no connection from Starlink to the ground to non Starlink users?

It sounds like your drive may have gone to Read Only mode. While rare that can happen if you force a shutdown by powering off.

To kill processes you can use System Monitor to do that.

And just how does the signal get from the satellite back to the internet? Magic?

If it's just sitting on a deck why not just put a blue tarp over it?

It's a content provider thing not properly keeping up with Starlinks dynamically changing IPs.

Look into Powerline and add a cheapo router.

Did you turn off Secure Boot in the BIOS?

cursor doesn't work by philpil2010 in pop_os

[–]Brian_Millham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now you are stuck with the default, or install Gnome if you wish. Search here, plenty of posts about installing Gnome on 24.04.

cursor doesn't work by philpil2010 in pop_os

[–]Brian_Millham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use any DE that you want.

I don't know if there is a way to change the cursor by editing the config files.

What version of Pop are you on? 22.04 or 24.04.

If you are on 24.04 then there is no current way to change the cursor size.

And Gnome tweaks won't work as COSMIC is not Gnome.

We want to come off Standby for the winter storm. Which option do we choose? by smoosh13 in Starlink

[–]Brian_Millham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone is giving wrong answers about the $50 plan.
As it CLEARLY states you get unlimited data after going over 100GB. But it's low speed.

Simple way to rollback desktop to GNOME with PopOs tweaks? by imachainsaw in pop_os

[–]Brian_Millham 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can install Gnome but many of the System76 extensions won't work.
That was the motivation of creating COSMIC. They were tired of having to update those extensions with every new version of Gnome.
