== audible ping not working ==ping produces a bell by printing the ASCII bell char '\a', which is doing nothing, probably because the system beep is disabled.You can manually try to produce the bell with: echo -e "\a"n my case, audible bell was disabled because of xset -b in my ~/.xsession file and could be re-enabled with xset b.If you are using Terminator as terminal on Ubuntu 18.10, left-click the Terminator, select preferences/profiles, and there is the audible beep option.SOLUTION for Mint 19.2GNOME TERMINAL 3.28.1# click Edit -> Preferences# Under profiles click "unnamed" or your profile name# Under the "Text" tab at the bottom where the heading is "Sound" check "Terminal Bell"== mouse lag problem ==I've run into this before, and this fixed it for me. However, I've just changed this back to the original state, and it doesn't seem to be re-appearing. Perhaps it has been made moot by an upgrade -- but here's the process I used to fix it.If you are running into the problem now, and just want to test real quick if this fix works, you can do the temporary: sudo sh -c 'echo N > /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll'To keep this change, do: sudo sh -c 'echo "options drm_kms_helper poll=0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf' sudo update-initramfs -u== sudo rmmod intel_powerclamp ==sudo rmmod intel_powerclampkidle_inject processsudo rmmod intel_powerclamp 21273 root -51 0 0 0 0 S 18.6 0.0 4:41.01 kidle_inject/6 21267 root -51 0 0 0 0 S 17.6 0.0 4:40.77 kidle_inject/0 21268 root -51 0 0 0 0 S 17.6 0.0 4:40.85 kidle_inject/1 21270 root -51 0 0 0 0 S 17.6 0.0 4:40.87 kidle_inject/3 21271 root -51 0 0 0 0 S 17.6 0.0 4:40.93 kidle_inject/4 21274 root -51 0 0 0 0 S 17.6 0.0 4:41.02 kidle_inject/7 21269 root -51 0 0 0 0 S 17.3 0.0 4:40.92 kidle_inject/2 21272 root -51 0 0 0 0 S 17.3 0.0 4:40.92 kidle_inject/5== Other Image Viewers (removed from page) ===== Image Viewer: Geeqie ==={{:Geeqie}}=== Image Viewer: viewnoir ==={{:Viewnoir}}== AMD ATI graphic card problem. nomodeset == sudo systemctl stop lightdmconfig file: /home/username/xorg.conf.new /usr/share/X11/xorg.confg.d cat ~/.xsession-errors apt install --reinstall cinnamon cinnamon-session cinnamon-session-common"Xorg -configure" is broken since yearssystemd-logind: got fd for /dev/dri/card0 226:0 fd 11 paused 0 vi /etc/default/grub amdgpu.dc=0to your /etc/default/grub LINUX line after quiet splash.
