- | QnA | + | **Welcome back to another edition of Questions and Answers! In this section, we will endeavour to answer your Ubuntu questions. Be sure to add details of the version of your operating system and your hardware. I will try to remove any personally identifiable strings from questions, but it is best not to include things like serial numbers, UUIDs, or IP addresses. If your question does not appear immediately, |
+ | I have a verbal filler when my brain goes off on a squirrel session. I will say the word “like” you know, like when some people go “uhm...” I understand that, and the uhms don’t bother me. I watched a tutorial and this chap had a phrase instead of a word. He kept saying, without further ado, then proceeded with more ado. Since he had a bit of an accent, I will assume he has no idea what “without further ado” means. He would end a video saying, without further ado, let’s start with x, then the video ends and in the video that followed, his ‘tick’ would fire a minute in and every time I’d sit up straight, like an idiot, thinking we would be getting to the meat and potatoes now, just to be strung along even more. As a non-native English speaker, I can sympathise, but dammit, Jim, this is a class! When someone says, without further ado, the music better start playing! It hits that same spot for me as when people close a ticket with, well, it doesn’t happen on the developer machines. I recently had an issue with a piece of open-source software, and decided to let the developers know. However, when I got to Github and found the project, there were already multiple people over the last two years with the same problem and every time it is closed with, well it does not happen on the dev machines, so we cannot replicate it and the ticket is closed... Without further ado, let’s get to the questions.** | ||

- | Q: We seem to be headed backwards, I just installed Xubuntu, then Mint, then Lite, just to find that my boot time on an NVME drive is slower than on spinning rust from 10yrs ago. Precise Pangolin on an old Clevo Quad-core boots somewhere around 20-25s and on my Octa-core over a minute? What is happening to Ubuntu?

+ | **A: Lol, you would have to take into account slow UEFI vs BIOS. Also check the slot your NVME is plugged into; it may be a SATA slot, meaning it has the same speed as SATA drives on throughput. The first commands you will need will be: systemd-analyze , systemd-analyze blame , systemd-analyze critical-chain , service - -status-all , cat /etc/fstab . If you do not use LVM, as seen from the last command, you can stop that - but do it first, in case you mess up your system. Code: sudo systemctl mask lvm2-monitor.service . I suggest looking at stopping smbd , nmbd , nw wait, (sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service) , zfs, postfix. This is a per-user-case (specific to you). Install preload and give your laptop a fixed IP, instead of DHCP on your network. If you do not use IPv6, disable it. You can also just not load Plymouth and shave off a few seconds there too.** | ||

Vérifiez également sur quel port est branché votre NVME ; il peut s'agir d'un port SATA, ce qui signifie qu'il a la même vitesse de transfert que les disques SATA. Les premières commandes à utiliser sont : systemd-analyze, systemd-analyze blame, systemd-analyze critical-chain, |

- | A: You can try running your AppImages without the sandbox; first try from the terminal, with - - no-sandbox, like so: myappimage.AppImage --no-sandbox (two dashes, no space). If that works, you can create a launcher for your AppImage that includes the full command. Rather leave AppArmor profiles alone, if you are not sure what you are doing. Maybe also look at AppImage manager to vet your AppImages for you. | ||

- | Q: I have a gnome extension set up, reminder alarm clock. It does a countdown and dings at the end with a custom message. Though it is great, it is not 100% what I want. I would like something like a grandfather clock, that dings every hour. It does not have to be Gnome specific as I have KDE too, but I’d prefer desktop neutral, if it makes any sense?

- | Q: I’m a massive fan of LXDE; I loved it when Lubuntu used it. Now, I don’t use Lubuntu for just that reason, but my LXLE install is getting on and I was thinking of getting Mint as I think they have abandoned the project. My first question, now that I have downloaded Mint, is how do I work Etcher? This process is confusing and I can’t seem to get it to run, never mind burn Mint to my USB stick. I feel irritated and frustrated at how difficult it has become to install an OS. Just give me a DVD and be done. Who even has time to do all this nonsense? Do people even use it? | + | Q : Je débute avec Ubuntu et j'ai endommagé mon système. Le tutoriel et les scripts se trouvent ici : https:// |
- | A: I admit, I also liked LXLE, just it being so snappy. You sound like that Youtuber, SAMTIME, who is trolling Linux users, so I’m not sure if I’m being trolled right now, but if I’m not, I’ll run through it quickly. If you download Balena Etcher as an AppImage (skip the other options), you can set the permissions to execute and then run it. Then you simply choose your drive and image and you “burn” your installer USB. You can still burn the image to DVD if you want, it does not have to be to USB. I can do a tutorial in the magazine with pictures, as it is really not that difficult. | + | R : Je vous suggère de lancer Xubuntu Live dans une machine virtuelle, avec les dossiers partagés activés, puis de copier les dossiers que vous avez modifiés dans ce dossier partagé. Je le place généralement dans mon dossier Modèles, car je ne l' |
- | Q: If a software is available only in the Flatpak, is there a way to convert it to make it the Snap or the AppImage? | + | **Q: I tried WSL and it is amazing! I then took the next step and resized my partition and set up dual-boot. It’s rather cool too; just one thing, this week I noticed that the networking on the windows side is poor to say the least. It never had an issue while running WSL. I’m seriously considering going back to Windows 10, as I heard Ubuntu and Windows 10 gel well. How is Ubuntu influencing my windows 11 to be slow? |
+ | |||
+ | A: Honestly, I’m 99.9% sure it is *not caused by Ubuntu. (There is always room for error). You can try the following in order, from an admin command prompt: arp -D , nbtstat -R , net stop dnscache , net start dnscache , ipconfig /flushdns , nbtstat -RR . That is six commands, you will need to run, one after the other, don’t type the commas.** | ||

+ | Q : J’ai essayé WSL et c’est génial ! J’ai ensuite franchi l’étape suivante : j’ai redimensionné ma partition et configuré le double démarrage. C’est plutôt bien aussi ; juste une chose : cette semaine, j’ai remarqué que la connexion réseau côté Windows est pour le moins médiocre. Je n’ai jamais eu de problème avec WSL. J’envisage sérieusement de revenir à Windows 10, | ||

+ | Q : J’ai installé une extension Gnome, un réveil avec rappel. Il lance un compte à rebours et sonne à la fin avec un message personnalisé. Bien qu’il soit génial, ce n’est pas exactement ce que je recherche. J’aimerais quelque chose comme une bonne vielle horloge comtoise, qui sonne toutes les heures. Il n’est pas nécessaire qu’elle soit spécifique à Gnome, car j’utilise aussi KDE, mais je préférerais une horloge neutre pour le bureau, si cela vous semble pertinent ? | ||

+ | Q : Je suis un grand fan de LXDE ; j’adorais quand Lubuntu l’utilisait. Ce n’est pas pour cette seule raison que j’utilise Lubuntu, mais mon installation de LXLE avance et je pensais me procurer Mint, car je pense qu’ils ont abandonné le projet. Ma première question, maintenant que j’ai téléchargé Mint, est : comment utiliser Etcher ? C’est compliqué et je n’arrive pas à le lancer, et encore moins à graver Mint sur ma clé USB. Je suis irrité et frustré par la difficulté d’installer un système d’exploitation. Donnez-moi un DVD et c’est fini. Qui a le temps de faire toutes ces bêtises ? Est-ce que les gens l’utilisent ? | ||
+ | |||
+ | R : J’avoue, j’ai aussi apprécié LXLE, juste parce qu’il est très réactif. On dirait le YouTubeur SAMTIME qui trolle les utilisateurs de Linux, alors je ne sais pas si je suis trollé en ce moment, mais si ce n’est pas le cas, je vais passer en revue la situation rapidement.
