Re: Webcam detected, but not providing video

Oh dear, sorry about that. I did search before I posted but it didn't show up. I think it's safe to assume that's the issue then. For anyone who finds this thread, according to that one there some kind of general issue with ubuntu, possibly the linux kernel in general, which disables cameras. My gue...

Webcam detected, but not providing video

I recently upgraded to 20.3 Cinnamon, one side effect is that the webcam is no longer detected *as a webcam*. Confusingly it is detected as a USB device and an audio input (it has a built in mic) but whenever I start cheese or some other program it tells me I have no webcam connected. Lsusb detects ...

Re: Hangul (Korean) characters not being displayed

Obviously you need to install korean language pack. http://wayneoutthere.com/how-to-korean-keyboard-ubuntu/ Unfortunately I did try that when I was scouring help articles. It didn't seem to help. https://i.ibb.co/GTR1ms9/Screenshot-from-2020-03-15-21-51-52.png Apologies for the crappy image, the fo...

Hangul (Korean) characters not being displayed

Is there some package I have to install for this? I've tried all kinds of things but can't seem to get it to work. Other east asian scripts like Hanzi and Hirigana display just fine. As an experiment I installed fcitx, switched my keyboard layout to hangul but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Re: Computer freezes every ~5 minutes

Ok, I've done more cleaning and testing and it seems that the freezes are only happening when brave is open. So that's a "solution" of sorts for the moment.

I've also found a weird new failure mode: Not only does the screen freeze, the audio starts looping if there's a video playing.

Re: Computer freezes every ~5 minutes

Woops, just updated. In hindsight that was probably a little risky: I broke an install before due to a freeze mid update (different computer). I've actually gone something like twenty minutes without a freeze now. I noticed last time it froze I was running brave (browser). This time I left it closed...

maybe once a day.
Well hey, once a day is an improvement!

To be clear, the not restoring from hibernation thing has been going on for weeks, but the constant freezing is new.

Re: Computer freezes every ~5 minutes

Upgrade in-place to 19.2 and test. https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/upgrade-mint.html Also: create some space on your root partition. It's getting too full. Will do. Sorry for the late reply, it froze again. How do I go about clearing space on my root partition? I assume that's not the p...

Computer freezes every ~5 minutes

As above, every few minutes the computer will freeze. There's still a signal going to the screen and USB devices are still receiving power, but there's no cursor movement and even the caps-lock light won't turn on and off. Also in the past few weeks I've noticed occasionally it won't restore from hi...

Re: Update manager: Target is configured multiple times

Hi, In a terminal, run: gksudo xed /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-xenial.list in order to open the brave-xenial.list and delete all the duplicates. Every source should be specified only once. Close the file and update: apt update Thanks! That seems to have solved the problem, there was indeed a dupl...

Re: Any way to recover files from previous OS

Yeah, hindsight is 20/20 and all but I should have had a more convenient backup media and/or a password manager The cloud provider I'm using don't have the ability to reset keys as a security precaution. I tried a list over ~100 likely passwords, but none of them worked. I guess I'll just have to st...

Any way to recover files from previous OS

I screwed up badly. I backed up everything to my cloud account before I installed mint, but I forgot to write down my cloud password somewhere. I had it written down in a file on my old filesystem (ubuntu), is there any way to recover files from it?
