mountainman1312_Howdy. Does anyone know what I've done wrong to make these errors happen? (https://pastebin.com/6hWCmLff). My 2nd monitor quit working since yesterday.04:05
sakrecoer[bpist]Firefox through snap seems like a strange idea. At every start it asks to be set as default browser, despite granting at every start. Checking "don't ask again" has no effect.05:48
sakrecoer[bpist]I kept getting the strange message that i'd need to restart firefox soon for some upgrade, so i did and it kept come back.05:48
sakrecoer[bpist]Turns out i have to do `snap refresh` :D I guess i will have to add that to the daily ritual with `apte update && apt upgrade`05:49
MauroGaspari[m]sakrecoer[bpist]: This is not the intended behavior. I recommend you close firefox, run a snap refresh, then open firefox again and see if the issue is solved. In case it is not, you can file a bug report.05:51
sakrecoer[bpist]MauroGaspari[m]: I have indeed done that. Still asks me to become the default browser05:51

sakrecoer[bpist]wow05:54
sakrecoer[bpist]ubuntu-bug doesn't like snap05:54

MauroGaspari[m]is this a new install or an upgrade? or just the issue came out of the blue ?05:55
sakrecoer[bpist]upgrade05:55
MauroGaspari[m]hmm and previously was using a deb of firefox? could it be some config file leftover that caused this? 05:56
sakrecoer[bpist]from 21.10... not sure if it was a snap or what... but this started at 22.0405:56
sakrecoer[bpist]same issue on machine with kubuntu upgraded from 21.10 to 22.0405:57
MauroGaspari[m]Interesting. did you search launchpad to see if there was something similar reported there?05:58
MauroGaspari[m]if you have a VM or if you can snapshot/backup, it would be interesting to try something like this:... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/6968d265966a64c39324cf8b40d871a98836fa98)06:00
sakrecoer[bpist]i  searched launchapd, couldn't find anything..06:00
sakrecoer[bpist]Not a VM... But i can try anyways. It's not the only problem i got from the upgrade tbh... All kinds of obscure warnings at boot.. So i should probably do a fresh install shrug06:02
MauroGaspari[m]if you are lazy you can first create a new user and see if it works well there (no config files leftover there). 06:02
sakrecoer[bpist]good idea!06:02
MauroGaspari[m]lazy way best way! πŸ˜…06:03
MauroGaspari[m]please let us know how it goes06:03
sakrecoer[bpist]i tried moving the ~/.mozilla folder first... Does snap only use it once and then copies it somewhere else?06:04
sakrecoer[bpist]oh... it does! ~/snap/firefox/common06:06
MauroGaspari[m]To Setto Setto (UTC+2): fyi I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 (not studio on this machine) and my ~/.mozilla folder is empty. 06:07
MauroGaspari[m]firefox snap config files are here for me: ~/snap/firefox/current/.config06:07
sakrecoer[bpist]uff... what a mess...06:08
sakrecoer[bpist]~/snap/firefox/current/.config is not the settings of firefox itself (bookmarks, addons etc)06:08
sakrecoer[bpist]that is in common, and it has created a pretty larga amount of those...06:09
sakrecoer[bpist]how to know which one to backup now? /o\06:09
MauroGaspari[m]found it. sorry I am a bit distracted 06:11
sakrecoer[bpist]it puzzles me that `snap` isn't a dot-folder πŸ˜…06:11
MauroGaspari[m]~/home/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox06:11
sakrecoer[bpist]yes thank you Mauro Gaspari i found it earlier...06:12
MauroGaspari[m]I can see profiles there, I hope it helps06:12
MauroGaspari[m]no worries06:12
sakrecoer[bpist]well renaming that folder solved the question of setting it as default.06:12
sakrecoer[bpist]this one that is: `~/home/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla`06:13
sakrecoer[bpist]But now i have to reconfigure Firefox πŸ˜…06:13
MauroGaspari[m]sync is your friend?06:13
MauroGaspari[m]:)06:13
sakrecoer[bpist]yeah, i don't like to put that kind of stuff on sombody else's copmuter πŸ˜…06:14
MauroGaspari[m]makes sense. I sync the things I don't worry about (extensions, settings, etc) and I keep all the passwords in bitwarden, disabled on browser and certainly not synced. 06:15
sakrecoer[bpist]it's fine i'll backup my bookmarks and just reinstall the plugs. Don't use that many anyways06:15
sakrecoer[bpist]But my issue is solved it appears!06:15
MauroGaspari[m]by the way the snap team has been making huge performance improvements for firefox over the last few weeks.06:15
sakrecoer[bpist]Good! I read a kinds of angry reports about slow start for firefox with snap during my quest for answers06:16
sakrecoer[bpist]s/a/all06:16
MauroGaspari[m]https://ubuntu.com/blog/improving-firefox-snap-performance-part-306:16
MauroGaspari[m]see you 06:16
sakrecoer[bpist]Ciao!06:17

cowhoof[m]What drew me here is my washed out monitor display. It is much better after many hours, but the videos are still yet washed out. I have read a lot on this subject and have found no real clear answers. I have the latest nvidia graphics driver, and full RGB set. The Ubuntu Studio has improved my desktop publishing a lot; albeit somewhat buggy, I have been working the hitches out for a week now. I came from using Cinnamonmint. Please23:52
cowhoof[m]consider this my introduction, and any information you share is always welcome.23:52
arraybolt3[m]Welcome! Glad to have you. For the washed-out screen, I'd check the settings in your monitor (not the Linux monitor settings, but there should be settings buttons on the monitor itself), and see if you can find controls in there to fix it.23:53
cowhoof[m]I will look at that further.23:54
