I keep seeing this message periodically when launching things from the command line. For example, I launched keepass2, and I get this message:
Gtk-Message: 20:24:04.576: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"Here’s the simple fix … install the libcanberra-gtk-module. Here’s the command-line:
sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-moduleThat fixed my problem! Note: the only symptom was just the warning on the console. I didn’t notice any other issues caused by not having that module.
The Slim PHP framework is a great place to start up a back end for a website. I’m sure I haven’t mastered it yet, but there’s good documentation, and it seems to go pretty fast. My big issue this time was trying to figure out why it wouldn’t route correctly. Here’s my notes for figuring it out…
For some reason, everytime I search for “PeopleSoft” in Chrome, I get this annoying “Search Time Warner Cable” page that takes me to their DNS Search page. I finally figured out how to get rid of it.
I have added a new OpenVPN connection that fails as soon as it opens. Here are my notes in troubleshooting. I found the problem.
Unfortunately, this issue is unsolved for me. I found plenty of things that fixed it for other people, so maybe they will help you. If you have an idea of something else to try, please comment.
My laptop will not load jpeg files for some reason. Chrome and Internet browsing works just fine. I can see all images there, but I can’t see jpeg images in Eye of Gnome. The worst is that I can’t see the background. The desktop background is just blue.
Here’s my troubleshooting notes:
I have a client’s VPN that was giving me a hard time. It was an Open VPN connection.
There was a comment in the Forum that I was reading about security. It sounds like it would be better to regenerate the certificates, but since I have no control over the server, I couldn’t do that.
There are the error messages that I was seeing in my log:
I checked my version:

First, I edited the VPN’s configuration file:
sudo vi /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/COTVPN
As the last line under the [vpn] section, I added the line:
tls-cipher=DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=0
Then, I ran this command to reload the configuration:
sudo nmcli connection reload
After that, it worked.
Note: Earlier, I was getting these messages:
I installed these two packages:
Those two packages fixed those errors.
Just after install, I ran into an issue with Remmina not connecting with remote desktop. Come to find out, one of the previous steps I had taken had uninstalled the remmina-plugin-rdp package. I was able to download it and install it, but it broke apt-get.
Here’s the error message:
sudo apt install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp remmina-plugin-vnc remmina-plugin-nx

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgoo-canvas-perl : Depends: libextutils-depends-perl but it is not going to be installed

I had previously enabled this repository.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next/ubuntu
That had given me version: 1.2.30.1 (git n/a)
I disabled the repository using the software and updates GUI. Then, I ran these commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt --fix-broken install
Somehow it was enabled again. So, it seems it is fixed even with that repository.
I’m a little later than I wanted to be, but I’ve finally installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 18.10: Bionic Beaver. I like to do a fresh install to test my backup skills and to try to get rid of extra stuff I may have installed that I don’t need anymore.
This article is my install notes.
I had some issues with using the Composer autoloading in PHP. So, here’s my notes….
I’ve started having issues with Remmina with it displaying windows in PeopleSoft’s App Designer on my remote desktop. It happens with multiple desktops for some reason. I also tested with XFreeRDP, and everything looks fine through that tool.
Here’s what it looks like:
I’m opening a ticket on GitHub, so I’m hopeful that someone can point out what the issue is.
