I have an ARM based computer that seems to work alright running Ubuntu Linux (non GUI). How do I get a list of all the components that are on this computer ? like type of Ethernet chip, Wifi chip, Bluetooth, CPU, power management chip etc if possible.

Q: How to fix missing characters from font after awakening from suspend?

I find that often after awakening from suspend on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 (I have only found this issue on the latest version, though I have not tried with GNOME 3.18 on 16.04) that I get this strange font issue which can't be fixed by restarting gnome-shell and seemingly only by resta...

How do I check where the time is spent between typing the password on login and appearing of the desktop?

It's taking too much time

Zanna

hmm

good question

maybe you should Ask it

Amjith

When I install and run some applications(video editing tools like OpenShot, Kdenlive or Flowblade), and try to run, it wont work. When i try to run from cmd For example,

$sudo openshot

It gives an error,

Bus error (core dumped)

This is the same error when i try to run other softwares also. I googled but no solution

Anwar

@Amjith why sudo?

Amjith

openshot isnt working

when I try to open from the menu, then crash window opens and i can see the same erorr there also

Anwar

12:45 PM

Why were you using sudo openshot?

Amjith

no particular reason. i was just confused whether this may be because of permission. So i used sudo in front

Anwar

Did you try without sudo first?

Amjith

it didnot work

What might be the reason for error "Bus error (core dumped)"

Anwar

So you tried without sudo first from terminal?

Amjith

yes

i did

Anwar

12:49 PM

what's the output of apt policy openshot and apt policy?

Amjith

here it is pastebin.com/DgCatdEy

Anwar

@Amjith It's not that output I wanted.

output of the command "apt policy openshot" and "apt policy"

Amjith

Let me know how to get the report. I will paste

ok

Anwar

without the quot marks of course!

Amjith

apt policy openshot - pastebin.com/fmPpa7ns

apt policy - pastebin.com/CNM6TZpZ

Anwar

12:54 PM

Need to go. I'll be back within 15-20 mins

Amjith

ok, thanks

Q: Openshot doesn't launch with "failed to import" message

Openshot stopped working on my friend's laptop. Running it in a terminal produces this. I suspect a python library it needs was removed. ------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------ Failed to import 'from openshot import main' Error Message: cannot import name main ----------...

openshot

also answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+question/193044

Anwar

@Amjith have you tried this^

Amjith

I think this isnt an openshot issue. I have Same Bus error when opening other softwares also like Kdenlive or Flowblade

Anwar

have you tried that one?

Amjith

pastebin.com/vpYwTKyP

Anwar

logout and login to a guest session and start openshot from there.

Amjith

1:25 PM

tried

also same error, but the error is differnet. it says some scanned failed

Anwar

the error isn't same. Now have you grabbed the error message?

Amjith

Sorry, the error is same in cmd, but the crash popup says some scanner failed to load initially

in the crash window, I am unable to copy the message

Anwar

You installed it using apt-get right?

Amjith

yes

Anwar

Ask a question on the main site

Amjith

1:32 PM

ok

Anwar

with all details, how you installed it etc

one thing. What's the output of which openshot?

TheWanderer

1:54 PM

@NathanOsman we should use that apl intro slider library for this

that could be where people log in and such

Anwar

@Amjith have you asked the question?

Amjith

@Anwar Hi, It was in the pastebin link

I will give now

pastebin.com/vpYwTKyP

Anwar

2:18 PM

@Amjith what's this?

Amjith

You asked me, What's the output of which openshot?

Openshot isnt giving any output except error message as in the screen

Anwar

That wasn't the output

You'll type in a terminal "which openshot" and copy paste the output here

Amjith

$ which openshot
/usr/bin/openshot

Anwar

I suggested you to ask a question on the site. Did you understand what I mean?

Amjith

Yes Anwar, I did.

Anwar

Have you asked yet?

You didn't. I meant ask question on Ask Ubuntu. Here askubuntu.com/questions/ask

And for the sake of God, don't use sudo everywhere. sudo is not a silver bullet for all problem

Amjith

ok

TheWanderer

it's just you don't know if what you're shooting should be shot

Anwar

@TheWanderer open shot?

@Amjith good. Add the output of the commands you provided here before. 1) apt policy openshot 2) apt policy 3) which openshot. And don't use > for formatting.

Amjith

Don't worry. Select them all and then press Ctrl-K

@TheWanderer login is probably too complicated for that. Don't forget, we may eventually want to support OpenID.

yeah hmm

We also need to push the page back in front of the user if the credentials stop working.

We can use it. Just not yet. And not for login.

We need to focus on getting a working prototype.

THEN we add an intro.

@Anwar askubuntu.com/questions/919144/… I dont think this is "from openshot import main" issue. The actual problem is "Bus error (core dumped)" which i receive not only for Opensot, but also other software as well. So this might be something else.
