Why can't I take rectangular area screenshots in Kubuntu anymore?
Tested with both Spectacle and Flameshot. It used to work fine but now Spectacle throws an error while Flameshot just relaunches.

Not a fix, but you could try something else like ksnip -r

so I cant adjust my mouse sensitivity on mint. is this a linux wide problem? I have to use the terminal to do it and everytime my usb devices change the xinput code I put on the startup doesnt work because device id is changed.

The proprieties tab seems to have the wrong data ... .

On Kubuntu: waking from sleep seems to not be working anymore. I basically have to turn my laptop off and then on again. Any ideas why this is going on?

Wanted to make an update on the post I made in the previous thread. I fixed it by setting the cores to 1 in oracle. For some reason setting it to 2 cores was causing the SoftLock.

Don't use the id then, use the name so it won't change.

heres verbose. when i size python.a it shows a bunch of objects so im pretty sure theyre in there but the linker isnt finding them or something.
