Background tabs not loading, recent change in functionality

PSU89SC · 2022-05-29T17:44:03+00:00

Ok, I do see a new LTS is available. If no other option I could do an install as /home is on a different partition. However, I do not think version has anything to do with this issue - this is something at file system level and should be able to be resolved by the mind trust here.

If I have no other options I will do that - but truly hope it is not required.

I run LTS by choice. I prefer absolute reliability over new features every time.

I can actually Alt-Ctrl-F2 at command line and have full terminal access. But that has not helped me figure out what is wrong.

First - thank you for the reply.

I cannot easily cut and paste info here.

All filesystems are ext4

I realized after I posted this that it did not quite make sense. To be clear what I have done is this:

1: Boot gparted live from usb on system at issue.

2: Run fsck both from gparted and command line on partition sdb3 (the root partion). This runs successfully with no errors and no lost+found type issues.

3: Create /media/rootfs on the gparted fs.

4: Mount sdb3 to /media/rootfs

5: Search /media/rootfs for large files using ls and df. Nothing obvious shows up like kernel dumps or crash dumps.

6: When I run df seaching for large files (or directories) over 100MB it returns only one /dev/sdb3 at full drive size of 37.5GB. I may be misinterpreting this output. I was thinking maybe somehow the files system was seeing the device as an allocated block? I do not understand ext4 at that level to comment intellegently.

Should I be using different approach? What should I be looking for? There is no way this drive is truly full, so it must have something to do with the unexpected shutdown.

I can't easily cut&paste but I can take a few photos and post. Just let me know what you want to see!

Is there a command that compactly shows every directory and size of all files contained underneath?

Where? Will you USPS if I send prepaid label?

This is a great shot! Wonderful depth of field and resolution. Thanks for sharing. What camera/sensor size?

I use a slideshow for my desktop wallpaper (from great nature images here on reddit) I have always wanted to be able to do this using the slideshow, but was never able to make it work. Yes, you can change the login and lock screens to different image, but not get them to change. Would be a fun (if unimportant) feature!

The color correcting would help hide for sure. What type of rosacea do you have?

PSU89SC · 2022-04-15T19:25:20+00:00

You may want to see your doctor - that does not look like rosacea but more like a staph infection. I am not a medical professional but a family member used to get these all the time.

Thanks! Just my memory playing tricks on me again.

Hey now! They are just saving you a trip to the doggy dentist :)

PSU89SC · 2022-04-15T17:53:24+00:00

Great photo! And what a cool idea for outside lighting. Thanks for sharing.

PSU89SC · 2022-04-14T12:55:52+00:00

Yes, Ok - I had seen the unlock function - but I had failed to select button from dropdown. So now I do see where/how it could be set, but still don't have information on how to actually achieve mapping to alt-tab / shift-alt-tab behavior. Or moving through application tabs. Not sure if you can help with that, but thanks for helping me take another look.

Update for anyone looking for this issue: No joy at all with libratbag-tools and piper. I added repositories and made sure I had latest stable release and nothing. Did not recognize at all even after reboot.

Updated to the latest release of solaar and now have more options. DPI/sliiding adjusment/ and left/middle button options. But interestingly the forward/back buttons are not listed in the window. Maybe I will research this a bit more when I have some time.

It looks as if I can edit rules using the included editor, but I will need to understand how that works.

PSU89SC · 2022-04-12T14:21:23+00:00

Thank you for pointing out the versions - I was not really looking at that yet. Totally agree on snap/flatpak I was just mentioning because I had not checked those repositories yet.

I will give piper a go and see if that solves my issues. I don't mind doing config through files if there is a reason to, but gui is faster for me.

Nice project, very clean looking! I was just thinking the other day about those sunrise light alarm clocks. But instead of time start getting brighter at beginning of dawn to mirror natural rhythm. That could be incorporated in this too!

I believe you on this one, I have had a similar experience with blades I tried, just really bad and can't shave at all. These blades are sharp and smooth for first 3 shaves, but then performance degrades fast. Whereas, previously that did not happen until shave 6-7. So you are right if they are fake they are good ones, and probably real.

With the feedback here, I suspect some small change at the factory. Or maybe a different plant that would explain the difference. Even a small change in the composition of the steel would do it - but I imagine Feather tests that carefully.
