Is there a log that would indicate if avahi-daemon is in fact getting restarted regularly?

mDNS sill fail regularly. Highly annoying.

Doh!

I want to access my files on another computer on the LAN, but not give access to everyone. I share my folder on my main computer. Browsing the network with Caja, I access the share on another computer and get asked for username and password. It doesn't take, but just comes back asking again. The onl...

Thank you for all the responses!

I was able to add a ubuntu boot option and that seems to have fixed it.

Do I care that the BIOS screen doesn't show the Legacy boot options like my other laptop?

Do I need that 'UEFI: Samsung SSD' boot option that my other computer has? If so, where is it?

I had a bad power port that was repaired by a technician. Now the laptop only boots to Windows; no grub. If I go into the BIOS there is no ubuntu option. If I boot live and run gparted, the dual boot partition structure looks to still be there. I read some stuff about grub-install but it sounds like...

Thanks for the tip. Kernel 4.15 did not have the problem. In the meantime, 5.4.0-54 came out and it is also fine. Is there a way pick a default kernel that is not the latest? The system will boot to the latest installed kernel unless I go through grub. Apparently if I want to use 4.15 I have to make...

The latest kernel 5.4.0.53 causes my Logitech 920x webcam to use a lot of cpu (Zoom, Cheese). I reverted to 5.4.0.52 and cpu went back down.

Who should I tell?

Brilliant!

Thought for a second it might be execute permission on .bashrc but I added it and still no joy.

I figured it out. It was a combination of cranking up the mic volume in pavucontrol and turning up the SPEAKER volume on the TV. (I'm turning the TV room into a Zoom room so the TV, over HDMI, is the monitor and the soundbar is the speaker. So, yeah.) Is there an easy way to make the pavucontrol set...

I am trying to use a new Angetube Streaming Webcam (with light ring) on an old Lenovo ThinkCentre M57/6072 running LM 19.3. The main problem is low audio volume even if the mic is cranked all the way up in Control Center>Sound. (When I record in Cheese or Zoom I can barely here myself.) Another symp...

echo $SHELL = /bin/bash
bash version = 4.4.20 (same as machine where it works)

I trimmed .bashrc to
Logged out/in. No change.

I set filename completion to be case insensitive (so I can start typing a filename and hit tab to complete) in .bashrc: shopt -s nocaseglob This has worked for years including two computer that were upgraded to LM 19.3; still does. I recently did a fresh install of 19.3 on another computer and it do...

As I move the cursor smoothly toward a button, it pauses then catches up, causing me to over-shoot the button. It's as though processing web content is prioritized above cursor movement.

I often get high-ish CPU while browsing with Firefox that causes the cursor to jump. I think it's probably javascript at sites like facebook (I read it for the articles) where blocking javascript would break the site. CPU is high but not maxed. I would have thought the cursor would have priority. Th...

Well, maybe it helped but mDNS failure is still happening. I don't know what "multiuser runlevels" are but I guess I don't have enough of them.

Sometimes it takes more than one avahi-daemon restart to restore functionality.

Thanks. I'll try it and report back in a few days.
