What is wrong?

Problem with agnostic theme of Oh-my-szh https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560392/problem-with-agnostic-theme-of-oh-my-szh

I'm having trouble with the agnostic theme in Oh-my-zsh. It displays correctly except for one character, and I honestly don't know what else to do...

I think it's the ± symbol, although when I test it in the console it shows up.

I've set JetBrainsMono Nerd Font as my custom font, and I also have the fonts it supposedly needs installed:

https://github.com/agnoster/agnoster-zsh-theme

https://github.com/powerline/fonts?tab=readme-ov-file

I've followed all the steps, restarting Terminal, PC... tried with several fonts. Nothing works...

Any help would be greatly appreciated; this is driving me crazy and I'd really like to get it sorted out. Thank you so much in advance!

How to make a REAL minimal Ubuntu server 24.04.xx installation https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560390/how-to-make-a-real-minimal-ubuntu-server-24-04-xx-installation

The current server live installer only give you two options:
enter image description here''

The minimized option is not very minimal, it's 2GB!

I was expecting something like 3-600MB!

Any way to archive this?

I could of course manually uninstall package afterwards but that's not a very elegant solution, beside one could easily remove some mandatory packages.

The live-installation is about 180MB:

enter image description here

I wonder if I could copy the root content and use that as my server-install. And then add the packages a needed with `apt install...`

Asus kgpe d16 ubuntu wont boot https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560388/asus-kgpe-d16-ubuntu-wont-boot

I have recently acquired a server with an asus kgpe d16 motherboard and 2 amd opteron 6836 se. I am trying to boot of an ubuntu persistent usb stick. I had clonezilla on one and used UnetBootin to rewrite it with ubuntu. As was good but not persistent. Booted, worked, but mouse was a little jumpy. Wanted to get it set up with persistent so I remote into to and reboot if need while checking stuff out. Used rufus to redo usb stick and hopefully get persistent. Tried on my laptop and finally got persistent. Stuck it in the server and it won't boot. It comes up to a screen that has text that says welcome to grub that I have never seen and after a few seconds it reboots. I have tried reloading the usb incase it was bad install, but there was no change. Any ideas? It does not have secure boot and I turned off fast boot

I bricked snap and it was fairly easy https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560386/i-bricked-snap-and-it-was-fairly-easy

I am on Kubuntu 24.04.3 Not knowing how snap works exactly, I accidentally unmounted from Krusader the apps I had, you can do easily from there. I thought they were stale mounts, but I understood later they were not. I could've rebooted to restore everything instead I started manually removing the broken snaps and reinstalling them, when I was removing Firefox, it was stuck and then I decided to kill the removal process. Now snap thinks is doing something, doesn't let me remove and install firefox again.

Logitech Pebble Keys K380S stopped inputing text (25.10) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560385/logitech-pebble-keys-k380s-stopped-inputing-text-25-10

One day, when using Solaar with a Logitech Pebble Keys K380S with the bolt receiver, it suddenly stopped producing keyboard inputs. when running the built in input tester it was receiving every key input, but when in any text box, in the operating system, browser, or other application, no inputs would be received. using Bluetooth fixes this issue, which could mean that it's Solaar, but the operating system recognizes the key presses, so why doesn't it translate it to text?

Cannot see icon for Eclipse application https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560384/cannot-see-icon-for-eclipse-application

I have a new Ubuntu install and a newly downloaded and expanded eclipse application. I put the following eclipse.desktop into ~/.local/share/applications:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse-java-2025-09-R-linux-gtk-x86_64/eclipse/eclipse  # Path to the Eclipse executable
Icon=/opt/eclipse/eclipse-java-2025-09-R-linux-gtk-x86_64/eclipse/icon.xpm # Path to the Eclipse icon file (often icon.xpm)
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;
StartupWMClass=Eclipse

When I use "Show Apps", I would like to be able to see Eclipse, preferably without searching for it. For now, I enter "eclipse" into the search field, and Eclipse shows up as an empty rectangle just below the search field. If I click on that, eclipse runs, but I was expecting the Eclipse icon in that rectangle.

I have read two other posts on Ask Ubuntu and tried suggestions from those. I have verified that icon.xpm is in the directory specified in the desktop file (i.e., in the directory with the executable). I have used find to verify that this is the only eclipse.desktop file on the disk. I have eliminated this desktop file and double-clicked on the executable from the Files application; Eclipse runs, but no eclipse.desktop file appears in ~/.local/share/applications or anywhere else.

Can someone help me figure out how to get the Eclipse icon working for the Show Apps app?

Ubuntu 25.10 external monitor not detected https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560378/ubuntu-25-10-external-monitor-not-detected

If I boot Ubuntu my laptop doesn't detect my external monitor, but if I boot Windows it's OK.

The laptop is a Dell XPS 13 9350 / Intel Lunar Lake / Xubuntu 25.10 / Intel Arc Graphics 130V / 140V (rev 04) / intel-ipu7 / Linux 6.17.0-7-generic

The display key on the keyboard doesn't do anything (but the display brightness keys have never worked with Ubuntu either, for what it's worth). xrandr --auto doesn't do anything.

Any ideas what to try next?

Persistent error: printing Service is not available after software update on 24.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560376/persistent-error-printing-service-is-not-available-after-software-update-on-24

Just did a system update that resulted in CUPS stopping to work out of the blue. The proposed solution in this question did not solve the issue. Removing these lines in cupsd.conf:

JobPrivateAccess  default
JopPrivateValues  default
SubscriptionPrivateAccess  default
SubscriptionPrivateValues  default

did not fix the issue.

We tried apt purge ... and reinstallation without success.

I begin to think it's time to move away from Ubuntu...am I wrong? The issue here is that a downgrade of the packages appear no longer possible...means: when auto update is enabled you can end up with a situation like this, where essential elements simply stop working and the repo doesn't help with the previous version.

Any help?

Files takes too long to open, offers to force close https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560375/files-takes-too-long-to-open-offers-to-force-close

When opening the Files app (nautilus), either from the taskbar or through a file selection box from another app, it takes a while to start, say 10 seconds. An empty window appears straightaway, but it takes that long before the files and the left-hand bar are loaded. (Edit: the items in the left-hand bar appear immediately, only the file listing in the main window is delayed)

That is in itself slightly annoying, but what's worse is that a window pops up saying that "Files is not responding. You can wait, or force close the application". After a few seconds, the pop-up window disappears and the app becomes responsive.

This always happens on opening the Files app or file selection window, unless I just opened it.

I started noticing this after the most recent Ubuntu upgrade. I have 11 local locations in my side bar, 5 on the local network, and 46 remote locations (mainly FTP sites that I administer). Yet in previous versions of Gnome / Ubuntu this was never a problem. I'm running Ubuntu 25.10, Gnome 49.0 on a Dell Inc. Latitude 5590 with 8,0 GiB of memory.

I ran strace nautilus but that didn't reveal any obvious blocks. In all the strace generated 74000 lines, 20000 of which were FUTEXes. That didn't get me any further.

What can I do to speed up Files?

EDIT: as per @vanadium's request, I removed my bookmarks (by moving the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks out of the way) and restarted. Nautilus then started up and loaded the contents without any delay. I then added the bookmarks to the local locations (those that aren't there by default) and restarted. No delay. Then I added the local network locations. No delay. Then I added a few of the (S)FTP bookmarks, and the delay was back. Which is strange because the FTP connections are not opened until the user clicks on them, so there is no network delay or anything. The bookmarks are already there as soon as I start up the app.

Can't find printer due to CUPS error https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560337/cant-find-printer-due-to-cups-error

Is it possible to shutdown the LUKS unlocking by timeout? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560334/is-it-possible-to-shutdown-the-luks-unlocking-by-timeout

I wonder if I can set the timeout to the boot time LUKS unlocking and let the PC shut down on timeout.

In other words, I want the PC to shut down automatically when I leave it without typing the password 1min.

This is particularly useful for laptops. Some computers turn on by shock or some other event. Without a timeout, the PC will wait for the password until the battery is fully discharged.

WiFi speed limited on Ubuntu 24.04 (compared to Windows 11 dualbooted and other devices in the same network) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1559790/wifi-speed-limited-on-ubuntu-24-04-compared-to-windows-11-dualbooted-and-other

After upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, my WiFi speed dropped to ~43Mbps instead of the expected 450Mbps that I get on Windows on the same machine.

What I've tried:

  • Disabled WiFi power management
  • Updated kernel from 6.8 to 6.14
  • Updated linux-firmware package

None of these resolved the issue. Wireless-info output: https://dpaste.com/3J9W8EXMK Has anyone successfully resolved similar speed issues ? Any help would be appreciated!

Ubuntu 24.04 LUKS encrypted installation with manual partitioning https://askubuntu.com/questions/1555597/ubuntu-24-04-luks-encrypted-installation-with-manual-partitioning

I have a dual-boot setup with Windows 11 (BitLocker off) and Ubuntu 22.04 (LUKS encrypted). I need to upgrade to 24.04. The default upgrade won't work because the /boot partition is too small and cannot be resized easily because it's encrypted. Either way, I have already formatted the / partition and am trying to do an encrypted Ubuntu 24.04 install.

I am following these steps:

  1. Launch Ubuntu from USB drive, open the Installer and click Next a few times.
  2. On the "Disk setup" page, select "Erase disk and install Ubuntu", then select "Advanced features...", then select "Use LVM and encryption".
  3. Now select "Manual installation" and click "Next".

At this step, I expect to set the passphrase for the encryption, but I don't get any option for that. I have already run the full installer once and have got the fresh Ubuntu 24.04 installation working, however, it's not encrypted.

Can someone please guide me on the encrypted setup? I am fine formatting the partition again as there is no data.

GNU Grub Version 2.04 exists even after deleting all Ubuntu partitions https://askubuntu.com/questions/1395386/gnu-grub-version-2-04-exists-even-after-deleting-all-ubuntu-partitions

I had Windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04, and Ubuntu 20.04 on the same disk. Since I didn't need Ubuntu anymore, I decided to delete them. First deleted 20.04, but that wiped out the Grub bootloader. Somehow managed to boot into 18.04 and updated grub. But, the Grub CLI was still coming first. Since my Enter key doesn't work, it is a real pain. I finally decide to wipe out the 18.04 partitions as well but the CLI is still there. Currently I only have Windows partitions but the issue isn't resolved. What seems to be the problem and how can I solve it?

Problem in removing a conda created environment https://askubuntu.com/questions/1301622/problem-in-removing-a-conda-created-environment

I installed tensorflow using conda create -n tf-gp tensorflow-gpu. Then I activated it using: conda activate tf-gpu Then I uninstalled tensorflow from this environment using:conda uninstall tensorflow

Then I installed tensorflow on the base environment using: conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow-gpu. that installed tensorflow-gpu-1.13.1.

Then I imported python and checked if tensorflow has been installed or not uisng tensorflow.version and I got the following message:

<module 'tensorflow._api.v1.version' from '/home/..../anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow/_api/v1/version/__init__.py'>

Then I uninstalled it using conda remove tensorflow-gpu, I uninstalled tensorflow.

Then I tried to install it using pip via the following command: pip install --upgrade pip pip install tensorflow

Then I checked if tensorflow has bben installed using pip or not by the following command: pip freeze

Then I tried reinstall tensorflow using: conda create -n tf-gpu tensorflow-gpu

Bot the following error drooped out: WARNING: A conda environment already exists at '/home/..../anaconda3/envs/tf-gpu' Remove existing environment (y/[n])? y

And at the end I got the error: Proceed ([y]/n)? y Preparing transaction: done Verifying transaction: failed NoSpaceLeftError: No space left on devices.

and when I checked if it has already been installed I got the following message: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow' So, I tried to reinstall it using:

conda create -n tf-gpu tensorflow-gpu

but I got the following error:

WARNING: A directory already exists at the target location '/home/..../anaconda3/envs/tf-gpu' but it is not a conda environment. Continue creating environment (y/[n])? y`

When I choose y I got the following error: CondaValueError: prefix already exists: /home/..../anaconda3/envs/tf-gpu

When I try to create a new_env using:

conda create --name new_env tensorflow-gpu

Then I got the following error:

CondaError: Unable to create prefix directory '/home/..../anaconda3/envs/new_env'. Check that you have sufficient permissions.

I tried to install only tensorflow-gpu in this new environment, but I got the following error:

`conda install tensorflow-gpu

DirectoryNotACondaEnvironmentError: The target directory exists, but it is not a conda environment. Use 'conda create' to convert the directory to a conda environment. target directory: /home/.../anaconda3/envs/tf-gp`

And when I try the way that it was explained I got the following error:

CondaValueError: prefix already exists: /home/..../anaconda3/envs/tf-gpu

CondaValueError: prefix already exists: /home/..../anaconda3/envs/tf-gpu`

Now I don't know How I should resolve this problem. Indeed my goal was installing tensorflow using conda but not in a new environment because I had pythorch installed and I had some jupyter notebooks that I wanted to import tensorflow and use some specific libraries. But I fall into a loop of installing and uninstalling that led to this wired problem. The problem is that I can't reinstall tensorflow in the environment that I had created and removed tensorflow from it because it says the environment is not a conda environment and when I try to convert the environment to a conda environment I get the error of prefix. And when I try to create a new environment I get the error of permission.

Any help is really appreciated.

Repetition in Gnome calculator https://askubuntu.com/questions/1298532/repetition-in-gnome-calculator

I know that there are many calculator applications for GNOME. But, my question is for the specific gnome-calculator application that comes by default in Ubuntu. Currently, I am using its version 3.38.1 on Ubuntu 20.10.

Most conventional calculators allow to repeat the last operation by repetitively pressing the Enter or = key like this:

  • 3+4Enter will display 7
  • 3+4EnterEnter will display 11
  • 3+4EnterEnterEnter will display 15
  • and so on.

Is there a method or workaround to do this in gnome-calculator? Currently, when I press Enter or = key the second time, the calculator displays the original expression and this is something I do not need. I also found nothing special in Keyboard Shortcuts on this.

Error while loading shared libraries: libnettle.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory https://askubuntu.com/questions/1286548/error-while-loading-shared-libraries-libnettle-so-7-cannot-open-shared-object

I've upgraded Ubuntu 20.04 to 20.10. Unfortunately when I try to start xen with these commands :

sudo /etc/init.d/xencommons start
sudo /etc/init.d/xendomains start
sudo /etc/init.d/xen-watchdog start
sudo /etc/init.d/xendriverdomain start

I get this error :

Starting /usr/local/sbin/oxenstored...Setting domain 0 name, domid and JSON config...

It didn't happen with Ubuntu 20.04, so 20.10 removed some "obsolete" package. I tried to reinstall some packages related to nettle component, but the error didn't go away. Somone wants to help me? Thanks.

initramfs, what is it and why am I getting this message https://askubuntu.com/questions/1216106/initramfs-what-is-it-and-why-am-i-getting-this-message

I am new to linux and having trouble getting my head around all of it, so please bear with me. I am getting this message every time I use: sudo apt-get upgrade

It's a fresh install of Ubuntu which took out dual boot for windows and there are other installs on other drives within the system that I currently can't work out how to access... probably a separate issue.

Message/s:

I have gleaned from other questions that this has something to do with resuming after a suspend? I haven't ever put the PC into suspend mode, so I'm not sure why these files(?) have been created.

What should can I do to resolve this? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Passwordless login with Yubikey 5 NFC https://askubuntu.com/questions/1167691/passwordless-login-with-yubikey-5-nfc

I just bought a Yubikey 5 NFC and have set it up per their instructions on Ubuntu 19.04. But my preferred use case is to use the key as passwordless option (if it's plugged in; allow access - if it's not; enter password).

I've found some topics on this here and here but both are either not for a Yubikey or not for Ubuntu. And I'm too inexperienced with these things to blindly fiddle with settings as there is a good chance I'd get locked out forever if I do something wrong.

So I know the Yubikey 5 supports passwordless login for Windows, I figure it must be available on Ubuntu somehow, right? Does anyone have a tip for me?

Edit: To give some context to the valid point made below that this setup wouldn't increase security, matter of fact, would lower it: Yes, I know, very true indeed. However in my case I work mostly from my own (secured) home, but am a stickler for very complicated passwords. However it is slowing me down I have to enter a very long password each time my laptop idles too long, so for when I'm at home, I'd like to be able to use just the key, and if I'm away, leave the key at home and just use a password.

Edit2: Thanks to hackerb9's answer and running through the Yubico install steps again I got it to work. Essentially all I did different was to add auth sufficient pam_u2f.so to both /etc/pam.d/gdm-password and /etc/pam.d/sudo instead of @include common-u2f (which would result in auth sufficient pam_u2f.so authfile=/etc/u2f_mappings cue). So essentially just removed authfile=/etc/u2f_mappings cue did the trick. I'm not 100% sure but I think this is due a 'setup conflict' as I set up the key before attempting this.

How do I do a minimal install so I can customize Ubuntu? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1163874/how-do-i-do-a-minimal-install-so-i-can-customize-ubuntu

I'd like to use Minimal ISO (or something similar) to assemble my Ubuntu distro. It's okay, however I don't know how to set the name of the distribution and how to update it properly without errors or name changes.

Moving a partition to the end of disk using gparted https://askubuntu.com/questions/1139676/moving-a-partition-to-the-end-of-disk-using-gparted

I'm planning to use gparted to move a(the?) OEM partition created by win 10 to the end of the disk. The disk looks like:

win 10 disk partitions

Can the OEM partition be safely moved to the end of the disk?

I tried it earlier with gparted and there were gaps of unallocated space in between the OS(C:) partition and the newly moved free partition at the end. Can these spaces be used so that the OS partition is contiguous up until the start of the OEM partition?

Where are Qt Charts and Qt Data Visualization located in Ubuntu repository https://askubuntu.com/questions/958659/where-are-qt-charts-and-qt-data-visualization-located-in-ubuntu-repository

I'm trying to install Qt Charts and Qt Data Visualization modules from Ubuntu repository, but I cannot find them. Are they available in the repository?

Ubuntu: Zesty (17.04)

I get the following error while I'm trying to compile this example from Qt website.

CXXABI_1.3.8 not found https://askubuntu.com/questions/622926/cxxabi-1-3-8-not-found

So, I'm trying to run heroes of newerth and get the error

./hon-x86_64: /home/c0ding/HoN/libs-x86_64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicuuc.so.52)

From research, I saw to just do LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9.2/libstdc++.so Which didn't seem to do anything. I have several gcc subfolders as well.

Whenever I type gcc it says gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. however I think that's because I didn't point to something to compile. Here's an image:

How should I fix this? There's a libstdc++.so but it doesn't have a .6 after it.

Always boot to gui https://askubuntu.com/questions/336653/always-boot-to-gui

I've got an old that sits and does some of the grunt work in the house. I've recently got it running 12.04 from 10.x, and everything seems to be working brilliantly.

Unfortunately though, it only seems to boot to the GUI when a screen is attached, and drops to TUI when there isn't. Since I mostly log into it via RDP, I'd rather it booted to GUI regardless of whether it has it's own screen plugged in or not.

Is there a setting I can change somewhere to disable TUI boot?
