Still really enjoying . But the one thing I haven’t had much joy with is the screenshot tool. It seems to capture the wrong area of the screen when I have multiple monitors. Plus it requires multiple clicks. Are there any recommendations for tools other than the one bundled in to ?

@am2605 I'm using flameshot for a good while now, and I'm happy with it. But my use case is mostly selecting an area. Also I need to un-dim the screen beforehand (have a little script for that), otherwise gives me the dimmed window content.

EDIT: I have given up.

Guys, I'm feeling frustrated and stumped.

Sitting at my sister's home, I can use the WLAN easily. Lappy connects to it automatically.

But I have LAN (yes, a physical cable) in my guest room that would give me better speed. I plug it into the laptop - and it will not connect. I even gave LAN priority in the settings.

I cannot find a setting to tell it to use the darn ethernet cable. Where do I look?

Running Kubuntu / Plasma on an Acer Travelmate.

@mark_pc

Thank you for taking the time to answer. 🙂

I'm going to assume that something is wrong with the cable. Laptop does have an ethernet port, I can plug in the cable. (It works at home, with my own cable.)

Since this is not my home, I won't be able to check the cable in detail. WLAN does work, so it is what it is.

@austincnunn

It does not. I tried that.

I decided to let it ride and assume something is wrong with the cable. Not my home, so I won't be able to check in any detail.

I moved my backup desktop machine from to Fedora . I've been using it on my laptop for a couple of months now without significant issue, but still manage to confuse myself once in a while about which toolbox container I am in.

@jimt you may want to check out Ptyxis. It's a terminal designed around using containers. Maybe it can help?

@GnomedDev refuse? It's written in the article at the bottom. The image was given to us by the Kubuntu Focus team in the press kit. Please ask the @kubuntufocus team.

jezebelley,

I managed to finally get Syncterm working by compiling from source. The snap package from the gui package manager didn't work. It would run in terminal but not connect to any outbound web sources.

Now I have full ANSI support and proper BBS-era art! It's absolutely glorious.

DNS seems fucky on my laptop, but not for anything else in the house. Kubuntu is haunted (this started after upgrading to 23.10), but I don't have time to switch distros...

Symptoms: Lookups timing out, new connections take too long to start.

Source: Probably Intel's woeful wifi drivers.

Skelemental,

@Taffer I’d investigate if you’re attempting ipv6 dns lookups and having to wait for those to time out

@Skelemental that’s a great idea, thanks!

over on 22.04.3 sure is buggy. What a disappointment.

(I was going to attach a screenshot showing one of the problems, but I can't, because it appears Wayland has broken image copy-paste.)

@WagesOf@gamepad.club avatar

@oh_that_courtney it's a shame too. Wayland is so much more efficient and has been available for years but basically every dev has just ignored it because doing the ground work to switch over isn't sexy.

Kind of reminds me of ipv6. Decades of availability, almost no adoption.

@oh_that_courtney I've been using Wayland by default on 23.10 since I upgraded a week or so back. I've had very few problems, and I use a very diverse and weird combination of applications. I know it's not LTS, but only 6 months until the next one :D
