I don't know what I did wrong in my Ubuntu 18.04 OS. For some reason some of my apps look like this:    This also happens to other gnome apps like pdf-reviewer and Logs. Window title, menu bar etc. are all blank, display only squares.  *Problem solved: I downloaded Google Fonts, saved them in a new folder, they can be applied system-wide, but after I did some font settings using Google Fonts it didn't work. I changed the font of Interface with Tweaks-Tool, that was what causing the problem.

Have a look at   One of the bolds works, and the other one just turns up as ** in the actual post.  This is the string that isn't working: **x**ml n**ib**  Which renders as: xml nib

So, I just built my PC today, and am only using Ubuntu until I get Windows installed (sorry, guys!) But when I go to click on any .exe file, nothing happens.  It just sits there.  No error message, nothing.  I've seen other people with similar problems, but they all get an error message.  But not me... Whats going on?  How do I fix this?  Help?

Update I can't even paste a b. I am trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 15.04 but I need to delete some files in the /boot directory. When I cd /oot I can't type a b. So, I thought, I will list the files in the / directory and copy/paste, but to no avail. I can't even paste a b. Update 2 I recently added some lines to the /etc/inputrc file in order to get better tab auto-completion: set completion-ignore-case on set show-all-if-ambiguous on TAB: menu-complete bind TAB:menu-complete   Original Question When I ssh into my ubuntu server I can't type the letter &quot;b&quot;. I can however type a capital &quot;B&quot; using either shift keys. I'm using a MacBook Pro with Retina display from 2012, and I'm ssh-ing into a custom built ubuntu box. It is here that I can't type a lower case &quot;b&quot;. I have restarted the server and yet I still can't type a &quot;b&quot;. Every other letter is fine. It hasn't done that before, I've had the server up and running for about two years and haven't come across an issue like this before. I also haven't done anything notable to cause it to do that. At first I thought the keyboard was a little sticky but when I closed the connection it works fine. I've restarted the server, ssh'd back in and the &quot;b&quot; key stops working again. I've tried my bluetooth keyboard and still no luck. Could this be something that is a rule in a .profile or .bashrc file or something similar? A setting to not allow certain characters. When I try to type the letter &quot;b&quot; I get the terminal bell sound as if it is not allowed.

Everything in Windows 10 worked perfectly for just 3 or 4 days after upgrading from 8.1. Yesterday I wanted to use the search feature, so I press win+s and get the error "Critical Error: Your Start menu isn't working. We'll try to fix it the next time you sign in."  (I also can't open the settings app since that's also a 'metro' app)  I have tried everything I could find and nothing worked for me.  Things I've tried include:   In powershell:   Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}  The answer .   And things like that.  "Did you modify the registry?"  Yes:   Adding Sublime Text 3 to the "Open with" list (It can't be because of this can it?) Back in Windows 8; Adding a few things to the RMB menu of some files (no trouble at all)   So what can I do to fix these problems?

I changed my Keyboard Layout from Swedish to English, but now my password doesn’t work and I can’t login. I need a way to change the keyboard layout at the login screen without having access to the keyboard or a way to enter the password using characters not available on the keyboard itself.

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a Toshiba C50D-A-133 laptop. After installation I opened a terminal, and ran sudo apt-get install with some packages. I remember PlayOnLinux , GIMP, etc.  While the packages were being installed I started Empathy to enter the access data from my jabber account. In the shell window I saw that the Windows fonts were unpacking. Empathy fades to gray, and after 1 or 2 seconds it goes back to normal, and I could enter the jabber account information. At the shell windows apt-get was unpacking the next packages. Then after this a window with an update notification appears. I chose there preferences, and I unmarked the checkboxes there. After closing, the windows turned gray too for about 1 or 2 seconds, then the notification "no updates needed" appears.  I think that the windows became unresponsive because the system was busy. Is this correct or could something be damaged or wrong with my system? No program crashed or was aborted, only turned gray for a second, and then ran normally.

I opened my laptop today to find that my arrow keys, excluding the left arrow, and Delete key are not functioning correctly.  The down arrow brings up the notification that the trackpad was disabled, the delete key brings up the notification that the trackpad was enabled, and the up and right arrows don't seem to do anything.  I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, I have an Acer laptop, and the keyboard model is set to Generic 105 key (Intl) PC.  The keyboard language is set to English(US).  I tried changing the model to a few different ones, but it didn't solve the problem.  I noticed that a lot of people had this problem in the past, but I couldn't find a solution for myself.  If you experienced this problem recently, how did you solve it?  Or do you have any ideas on how I may fix it.  Also, I have Ubuntu installed as my operating system and am not using a VM.

WOL was working great on Bionic until yesterday's kernel update. How to diagnose/recover it?  Edit: if set to boot from 4.15.0-23 kernel it works. If set to boot from 4.15.0-24 it does not.  Edit2: WoL can be enabled with   sudo ethtool -s [card] wol g   but it isn't persistent. Searching for how to set it every boot.  Edit3: Per a comment by Kai-Heng Feng on this  this was an advertent change! (and therefore not a bug)  This is because the fix of LP: #1752772 has one commit [1] that disables WoL by default. Set WoL explicitly should solve your issue.  [1] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/7edf6d314cd061e1d0a1b7bc0b511d64322c3f72

I noticed that there are many posts on Super User about , but none seems to address the question I have.  I am on Windows 7 and I find fonts very fuzzy. To be specific, some letters are more fuzzy than others, and it's not specific to the letters, it's more about positioning. If I move my Windows to a slightly different position, then different sets of letters are fuzzy.  I tried to do the ClearType tuning, but I can't find a selection that looks sharp. I tried to turn off ClearType altogether, but it gets worse. I turn off antialiasing in systemspropertiesperformance.exe and it doesn't help much.  My prior experience is with Windows XP. And fonts look fine there. I think I prefer having jagged edges over anti-aliasing. Trying to round the edges just makes my eye sore.  I'm using a 17 inch monitor, 1280x1024. My friends who are also on Windows 7 using laptops still have fuzzy fonts, but they are a lot better. I think it's because their resolution is much higher with respect to their screen sizes.  EDIT: Interestingly the problem might not be font settings after all. I screenshot the text, same thing also happens to the screenshot!! Even though some letter are still fuzzier than others. I should hook the monitor up to a computer with Windows XP to check again.  EDIT2: Same monitor on Windows XP looks fine. Comparing text screenshots made in Windows XP and Windows 7 on Windows XP I do find Windows 7 fonts fuzzier than one on Windows XP. However, even when viewing screenshot from Windows XP on Windows 7, it looks very fuzzy! And this is specific to Windows 7 since I'm using the same monitor.  EDIT3: Problem solved. Posted under Bobince's reply. Thank you all. :)

I noticed that the letter z is different from other font. Is there any special command for this?

(Old keys writing sometimes) (No keyboard problem) (I think GTK or RAM problem)

I have opened up  on launchpad too, but in the interest of getting a bigger response base I am posting it here, hoping someone will pick it up.  Natty doesn't behave very well with the Intel 82845GL chipset. I booted my old machine with Natty today to test drive it. The specs are:  Processor: Celeron 2.4GHz Video: Intel 845GL RAM: 1GB  The first problem is that the display is borked! What do I mean? Well, see for yourself:     If that gets fixed (and it did for a while but is back now), Unity is disabled.   I think these issues are owed to hardware acceleration being disabled...or in other words not the right driver for my hardware. A google search on 'intel 82845GL ubuntu' does return other users having similar problems in the past but I haven't been able to pick out a solution in the many many discussions on the subject- partly owed to my 'linux naivety' I guess...but maybe you can help?

I'm on an Acer Aspire E5 and I haven't been able to get my laptop's onboard keyboard and trackpad to work, although the trackpad is detected as a Synaptics, and the keyboard is showing as an AT Translated Set 2 keyboard. External mouse and keyboard works fine, and are what I am currently using. I already checked whether I'm on Synaptics or Libinput, although I was fairly certain that upgrade happened a few years ago, and I am definitely using libinput, which I reinstalled, to no avail. I've made sure that the trackpad is enabled in the system settings, and I've switched it from advanced mode to basic in the BIOS, which for some seemed to have been the solution I'd like to note that the onboard keyboard works fine on boot, and its only when X is loaded (i'm assuming) that it fails. I have just recently installed Kubuntu on this machine after grappling with the same issue on Arch, thinking i had done something wrong in the installation. On Arch, I had no trouble using the keyboard on the TTY and live-USB (Arch and Ubuntu), but when i installed X for a GUI, they both stopped working. What should my next steps be?
