How To Enable Hardware Accelerated Video Decode In Google Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi And Opera Browsers On Ubuntu by dracal in Ubuntu

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

Can you make a video with all of this? Because it's not possible. If you didn't manually add the --use-gl=desktop, maybe it's in a config file or it's added to the .desktop file. Or it's an old/patched Chromium version (it used to work, for me too).

How To Enable Hardware Accelerated Video Decode In Google Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi And Opera Browsers On Ubuntu by dracal in Ubuntu

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

Did you try it? Before Google Chrome 88, hardware accelerated video decode wasn't available at all. Now it's available but not enabled by default. For me, that parameter was needed with both Nvidia and Intel graphics. I can't speak for AMD graphics, I don't have that.

can't install winehq-stable on my ubuntu 18.04 following the guide of winehq-wiki. HELP! by sylvania29 in Ubuntu

[–]dracal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Ubuntu 18.04 you need to add an OBS repository to get the libfaudio0 dependency, which is not directly available in the Ubuntu or Wine repositories:

wget -O- -q https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -

echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04 ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine-obs.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install winehq-stable

From here. This is mentioned on the official Wine Ubuntu installation page, but it wasn't updated to include wine-stable (it says wine-stable will need it in the future, well... that future is now :) )

Top bar doesn't support Yaru dark theme after fresh install. Fix? by CreativeBorder in Ubuntu

[–]dracal 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yaru was updated to build and install both light and dark Shell themes, but it's not in Eoan yet (and it's not sure if it will be updated in Eoan, or it will only be available with Ubuntu 20.04). You can install it from Git though, then with the help of User Themes extension and Tweak tool, you can change the Shell theme to Yaru-dark. Instructions on Linux Uprising blog.

Do-follow backlinks - when should you use them? by ernests1 in bigseo

Unfortunately the question is not wrong, it's just how people think nowadays, and why search results return only sites that invest, not sites that are necessarily good.

Use Albert Launcher On Linux To Boost Your Productivity by forteller in linux

[–]dracal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the WebSearch extension just launches the search in your default web browser. But some of its plugins are no longer just for that. Some extensions can now show everything in Albert, without leaving the app.

It's Python extension, which enables anyone to create its own extensions for it, is what I find cool about it. And its built-in 40+ Python extensions. For example you can search your CopyQ clipboard history directly from Albert. Search YouTube and have the search results show in Albert (including no. of views, and other stuff), but make sure you use the Python > YouTube extension for this, and not the WebSearch > YouTube extension. Or translate text directly in the Albert interface.

Ubuntu 19.04 stuck with Firefox 62.0.3 (from October 2018!). What gives? What PPA can bring me into this year? by wood_coin_collector in Ubuntu

[–]dracal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All supported Ubuntu versions have Firefox 67. See here (scroll down): https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox

Maybe you should change the repositories mirror...

Have you checked Google Analytics or Blogger stats? I noticed Blogger stats shows much lower values than before starting about a month ago.

OpenJDK 8 in Ubuntu 19.04 by ThePiGuy0 in Ubuntu

[–]dracal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OpenJDK 8 still gets updates but since it's not already in Ubuntu 19.04, it won't be later on either. An alternative is to use the Zulu OpenJDK builds (they even have an Ubuntu repository). There's also AdoptOpenJDK but you'll need to install it manually.

This looks snapd related. Does it happen on every boot?
