r context would be a major pitfall that has ramifications that span far beyond your mailing list or company trademarks.

**So again I have to ask, "what's the point of Ubuntu?" If the goals are accessibility, easy-of-use, stability, and being the gateway into the world of Linux for professionals, artists, gamers, business owners and everyday people, then I think that remains a worthy and admirable ideal.** If that's the goal, then *doing things to make your lives easier while making the lives of developers and users harder is so clearly not in the project's best interest*. *Breaking compatibility and asking developers (bad) or users (worse) to fix it for themselves does not align with a goal of accessibility*. Similarly, *telling people to use an older version (in a container or otherwise) to mitigate problems that you're planning on creating is at best unacceptable and at worst blasé*. On the other hand, if the project's ambitions have changed to something else, then I think that this community, *your community*, are owed a more public conversation, as well as more time to adjust.

At any rate, whatever the goals of the Ubuntu project, I hope that you never stop asking yourselves crucial questions about *who you are*, *what you're trying to achieve*, and *how you're trying to achieve it* before making major decisions that could impact not only your place in the community, but the health of the community as a whole.

As I said at the outset, I like Ubuntu and I value the role it has played in the short history of Linux. **I want nothing more than for it to thrive and succeed along with the ecosystem as a whole. But for that to continue to happen relies on the project's ability to stay focused on a singular goal, doing only the things that serve that purpose, unfettered by self-inflicted or avoidable complications.**

*That's what I think, at least, what do you all think? What should Ubuntu be and is it on the right path? If anybody who works on Ubuntu happens to read this I hope you can take these criticisms in stride and I'd love to know your thoughts too, either here or elsewhere.*

Way to rescan all usb ports through terminal

Is there a way to rescan all usb ports by software, I have a connected device that gets disconnected for some reason (although physically still connected) that I can see in dmesg. I've found some noscripts and programs like usbreset.c but I need to specify the port and since it gets disconnected it dosen't show in lsusb so i can't target that port directly...

ulauncher-mpd - a ulauncher extensions that controls mpd and displays album arts

Hello! I've been using Linux for half a year now, and as I haven't found a ulauncher extension that lets me control mpd I've written myself one:

[https://github.com/codyfish/ulauncher-mpd](https://github.com/codyfish/ulauncher-mpd)

​

ulauncher-mpd enables you to control music playback and add or insert albums, interprets, songs, folders and playlists to your queue while using albums arts as icons for the different actions.

Currently, actions and default album arts do still have a stock icon from ulauncher, but that will hopefully change soon (I suck at making icons) (What is a good place to find open source icons?)

​

Note that this is my first program with a real use so the code might be messy. I would also be happy if someone could tell me if I've done licensing etc correctly :D

​

The extension is currently only available for ulauncher 4 (thus not API level 2) and is therefore only python2. You need to install a few dependencies manually using pip2: mutagen, python-mpd2 and enum

​

If there are any issues or I have done something completely wrong (e.g concerning LICENSE), feel free to tell me :D

This sub can be really toxic and unhelpful. Often responses are incredibly belittling and people get downvoted just for asking a question.

I realize this is not a support forum, but questions are not prohibited or discouraged.

Case in point:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/c2721s

He asked a simple question. He wasn't asking for support or help. Wtf is wrong with you guys?

Also the thread spiraled into elitism and anti-Ubuntu very quickly.

This is common across the posts in this sub.

I'd like to see that change.
