I found a nice webcam that works well with my Linux desktop. The Adesso CYBERTRACK H4. I was able to connect to a USB port and within seconds able to use the webcam for Teams and Webex without issue (Have not tried Zoom/Ringcentral yet). Cheese worked perfect too. I was able to pick one up at my local Altex location. And at $50, I’d say it was a decent price.

Noticed recently when I am in the bash shell, if i type a command incorrectly I have been getting an error that is not part of the command I was entering, but one that seems to be from the shell not knowing how to respond to an incorrect command.

After doing some searching, I found that this appears to be a permissions issue after upgrading. By entering the following command repaired my issue: sudo chmod ugo+r /var/lib/command-not-found/commands.db*

All good now!

Setting up remote VNC access in Pop! OS is quite easy, but one option I wish they would make is to disable the require-encryption option. Pop! OS uses Vino for VNC access but most other clients do not support the encryption option that Vino uses.

To Configure, go into Settings / Sharing. Enable options as shown below. And, don’t forget to add a password for access.

Now open a terminal shell and run the following command to disable the require encryption: gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

Now open your VNC client on another machine, and enter the hostname or IP of the PoP! OS machine, and sign in.
