I have cards from Line 6 and from Zoom - will it be possible to handle those devices in Linux now or in the future?
I also like to handle midi files as sheet music . Is there some linux application doing that?
I'm a school teacher. Our education department has set up an ICT lab in our school. All the computers run on the Ubuntu operating system, which I don't know much about. Therefore, I'm unable to explain anything about computers to the students. If I could find an article or PDF file to help me understand Ubuntu, it would make things a little easier. My government school's website looks like this - https://www.schooldise.com/gssskadiya/
After a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04 on an Acer Spin laptop no sound is produced from either speakers or headphones. In the settings -> sound -> output, the bar moves when the test button is pressed. The output device - “Ice Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller” – can choose between Speakers or Headphones.
I installed pavucontrol. Pavucontrol shows both speakers and headphones: The bar in Volume Control moves when when I “Test Speakers”, but there is no sound. It is not muted in this setting.
Under Windows, speakers and headphones worked fine. What can I do to get the speakers and headphones working in Ubuntu?
Fresh install of ubuntu 24.04 LTS & I have installed a new font under .local/share/fonts.
I want to change the font that the default gnome-terminal uses but through a command as I can't use the GUI for my purpose as I'm writing a script for this.
I have tried to use the gsettings list-keys org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings which gives the following output:
always-check-default-terminal
confirm-close
context-info
default-show-menubar
headerbar
menu-accelerator-enabled
mnemonics-enabled
new-tab-position
new-terminal-mode
schema-version
shell-integration-enabled
shortcuts-enabled
tab-policy
tab-position
theme-variant
unified-menu
But I don't see the key that would change the font among the keys.
I have seen a previous post which suggests to use gconftool-2 but I believe this is deprecated and no longer works in ubuntu 24.04.
Is there a new CLI utility I can use to achieve this changing of the font for GNOME-terminal on ubuntu 24.04 LTS, cause I haven't been able to find it other than gsettings? Any help is appreciated thank you.
What can I do to my headless laptop? I don't have monitor or TV and I don't want to buy anything but I have 8gb usb stick.My laptop don't have WiFi card.my laptop has Linux mint xfce with ssh install but I can't use ssh while I have monitor.
Ever since "upgrading" to 24.04 from 22.04 I have noticed an odd interaction between vlc and xine.
First) I am unable to tell vlc to start at a certain volume level every time it starts. "Always reset audio start level to" is disabled. Nothing I've found allowed me to enable that.
c) (and here is the odd part) If I watch a video using xine, despite having "startup audio volume" set to 0, if I increase the volume in vlc, xine will start up at that volume level (set in vlc) instead.
&) if I set the volume in xine to 0, vlc will open the next video with the volume muted.
It's like the two programs are in cahoots.
Created an Ubuntu USB flash drive.
It shows as an option in the Boot Menu, but selecting it does nothing. The Ubuntu instructions recommend turning Secure Boot off, but have read that I will then get a request for a BitLocker recovery key which I don't have since i set up my Lenovo Think Pad without a Microsoft Account. I've seen online warnings that say if i get to that request, i will be stuck there without a key.
I'm scared to proceed.
Any suggestions?
I have a recovery disk & backups.
I wish to install Ubuntu on an XP3 machine. This machine has a 1TB HDD, with around 900GB free space.
I created another primary unformatted partition which I then partitioned, but left the third as unallocated space. I created my Ubuntu stick with version 16.04.6 for x86 Windows. When I selected the install option, Ubuntu gave me the options to remove the Windows operating system or install Ubuntu alongside Windows. When I selected the second option, Ubuntu ignored the empty partitions and specified its own partition, at which point I bailed out.
Do I take it that for a Windows/Ubuntu dual boot Ubuntu creates its own partition, even if Windows occupies the only partition on the HDD?
Please bear in mind that I am using this XP machine as a workhorse. I have an AMD 64-bit Windows 11 machine, and a 64-bit HP8000 which I loaded with Ubuntu as an experiment. Something went pear-shaped on this machine, and needless to say I couldn't read what's on the Ubuntu stick using Windows.
I haven't tried looking at the HP drive on my docking station yet, but I don't think the 32-bit machine will see it anyway. By the way, there are several interpretations of Ignoramus. Among them is "uninformed" which is mainly what I am when it comes to computer programming, etc., hence my questions!!
My Linux-based PC boots to a black screen with blinking cursor. The computer ("old") has Linux and Windows 10 installed on separate partitions.
I used Recovery mode and checked the disk. It showed my that C: drive is about 450GB and about 420GB was used. Usage was 100%. That's why I assumed that lack of free space on the hard drive is a problem.
I used a live CD and live USB sticks, opened up the problematic drive (let's call it "old") and tried to delete some unimportant files/folders from the old HD. They could not be deleted.
Is there a way to delete (or copy) unwanted large files/folders from the old hard drive using the terminal (with a live USB)?
I want to write Russian text in LaTeX. I searched the web but did not find something which works.
I have tried:
sudo dkpg --configure -a
and then:
sudo apt install texlive-lang-cyrillic

The message were much longer, I have posted only the beginning. What have MS to do with Ubuntu?
Anyway, now the terminal is locked with above message and I can not yet write Cyrillic.

I've been trying to install Ubuntu 25.10 alongside W11 in my HP Victus 15, but anyway I try unknown error crashed with UnicodeDecodeError always appears. All of this happened with Secure Boot enabled, knowing Ubuntu should handle that fine.
The live environment itself works fine, I can connect to Wifi, Bluetooth works, Audio is not bugged, but since my keyboard layout is Latin America, I have to change that in Keyboard settings, but nothing more strange. The only thing not working entirely is the installer.
What i tried:
Then I ran into a "temporal" solution, which means changing the locale thing, so that i ran that and then export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 && export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8. It did made the previous error disappear, but now the "Preparing Ubuntu" screen stays buffering indefinitely.
Both of the USBs I've tested before, they do boot and they can install Ubuntu just fine in other laptops, while in mine it doesn't. And this just happens with Ubuntu specifically, any other Linux distro I've tried in my laptop boots, and the installer works.
here are My laptop specs:
HP Victus 15-fb2xxx
Ryzen 5 8645HS w/ Radeon 760M
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop
16 GB DDR5 RAM 5600 MT/s
1TB M.2 NVMe of Storage
New Linux user here - for some reason I can't make my bluetooth headset and bluetooth mouse connect automatically on startup. They're both trusted devices and paired with the PC, but won't connect unless I tell them to.
Searching online I saw people solving the problem by using blueman so I installed it as well, but the auto-connect option on it is greyed out. I also looked around the main.conf file in /etc/bluetooth and AutoEnable is set to true.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Any idea how to solve it?
After trying to install dependencies for FUSE (and forgetting for an hour and a half that apt install exists) I restarted my PC and it no longer boots on any kernel. This screen is what I get when I try to boot. Is it possible that my screwing around caused something to break? If so, how do I fix it?

When I reboot multiple times, sometimes the system boots successfully and I can work on my Ubuntu system like normal, but again the next time when I turn on the laptop, the same issue arises.
I tried to enter Ubuntu generic recovery mode, but an endless process starts running, throwing infinite lines on the screen.
I am using an Asus TUF laptop. I can't find how to enable SGX in its BIOS.
How to to fix this? I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu and lose all my data.
My laptop is a dual boot. I was trying to update Ubuntu, but something went wrong. I think Ubuntu is now corrupt from the inside out. I can no longer boot into it. I tried every possible solution, but it either fails or shows countless errors, so I decided to save the files that are on it (it was my main OS. I have some very important files on it) from Windows if possible, then remove it completely and reinstall it.
What's the best, safest and free way to get my files to Windows?
Prior to upgrading to 22.04.1 the screen never presented boot [error] messages. Now I get a series of boot messages that I'm clueless about. Would anyone know anything about the messages that are shown below?

I looked for similar cases 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. I'm sure there are many more, so if I missed a solution, please point it out, but unfortunately the proposed solutions didn't seem to be effective in my case.
I tried:
Secure Boot both enabled and disabled
Fast Boot both enabled and disabled
with and without creating empty space on the SSD
Creating an ext4 partition from Windows
Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04
The result is always the same. The installation doesn't recognize any partition, but mysterious 8.2GB (my RAM?) which are < the 8.6 required.
The live version of Ubuntu runs, but even GParted doesn't recognize any disk apart from the USB drive.
I apologize if I have missed a solution, but there are many similar cases. Maybe the pictures in this album can represent the situation better than my words. I suspect the issue might be related to Lenovo, so I'm also bothering them here.
Upgraded from 18.10 to 19.04. On boot GDM starts normally, and after I enter my password it fails to start GNOME. It goes back to GDM
This is an Nvidia Optimus laptop. I ran Dingo from USB and installed it into a test partition. It recognizes everything (uses nouveau instead of the Nvidia blob).
Log says:
WARNING: App 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' exited with code 1
Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop
WARNING: App 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' respawning too quickly
CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry...
Both mutter sessions using Xorg and Wayland fail the same way. The old metacity "GNOME Flashback" starts ok (but then indicator-datetime-service eats all CPU and memory and won't stop respawning if I kill it).
Tried using lightdm instead of GDM. It fails the same way.
Tried reinstalling gnome-session package. Nothing changed.
All logs obtained via journalct -xe.
Any advice on how to debug this thing will be welcome.
Later, I realised that I had inadvertently enabled the "proposed" repository (in my cosmic install). Downgraded gnome-shell ("3.32.1-1ubuntu1~19.04.1" to "3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1"), mutter and other packages (using pinning priority), but the problem reamins exactly the same.

I would like to update an Ubuntu installation from 32 to 64 bit. I'd also like to save most of the configurations, especially the installed packages because I have added and deleted quite a big number of them.
So the basic idea is to backup the /etc, /var, and /home directories (actually these are two separate partitions, so I suppose that I could simply not format them), make a fresh installation, and reinstall the old packages. Then copy the relevant /etc/directories from the older installations.
What I am trying to find is how to automate the package reinstall, and if it's possible, to automate the /etc restore.
Are the instruction found in this answer still valid? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366
I found out how to do this recently and thought it might be helpful to >some people. To output this information to a file in your home directory >you would use,
Code: dpkg --get-selections > installed-software And if you wanted to use the list to reinstall this software on a fresh ubuntu setup,
Code: dpkg --set-selections < installed-software followed by
Code: dselect
When I try to install the graphics driver it shows the following error message. I also tried fixing the broken package, but it didn't work.
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-390

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

Just trying to get a basic setup of openSSH going on an Ubuntu box to work remotely. Main issue: RSA keys fail auth. ssh DOES work using the password for auth, but I would much rather limit it to only allow ssh keys for auth.
Note that I refer to desktop and laptop. Desktop: machine acting as server. Laptop: machine acting as client.
Things that I have tried:
The relevant things I can think to include are the -vvv when attempting to connect on the laptop, the permissions of ~/.ssh on both machines, sshd_config on desktop, relevant entries in var/log/auth.log on the desktop. Obviously, if there is anything else that I can include that could help anyone resolve this issue, I will gladly provide relevant info.
Here is the -vvv when trying to auth:

Several times, I have tried installing Nvidia drivers (375) on Ubuntu 16.04.1. I have tried various methods (apt, apt-get, synaptic). I have tried some suggestions on the internet, including uninstalling the Nouveau driver first, installing before logging in, installing in safe mode, etc. But every time, the installation gets stuck at: "Building initial module for 4.4.0-59-generic". I even left the computer on for more than 24 hours, so that this step might hopefully complete, but it didn't. I tried downloading the Nvidia driver installer from the Nvidia website and following the instructions. It gets stuck at a similar step. Any suggestions?
Here is the output from synaptic:

Building initial module for 4.4.0-59-generic
I was looking for hours, maybe more, for a solution and i just found it. I want to share it with everyone. This way it will be easier googling this problem to find the solution faster. So, just like the title says, below is the solution.
I bought a factory resetted BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition and as an experienced, trusting Ubuntu user, the second thing I did, after taking pictures, copying over some music, adding some contacts etc. was install a terminal and type sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade;.
From numerous sources I learned afterwards that this is what I was not supposed to do.
The result was:
In an attack of Feng Shui I resetted the phone once more ( I read that this would bring the keyboard back), not fixing the problems, but also effectively deleting my images, contacts etc.
The first point results in not being able to type a wifi password, hence (together with the second point) no internet, hence no way to install a terminal and no connection via ssh.
The first point also means that I cannot enable the developer mode, because that requires a lock screen code or password, which requires a keyboard input. Hence no connection via adb.
Therefore almost every functionality (except calling another phone) is not possible, which means the phone is not technically bricked (I can still boot), but... well... to a great extend unusable.
First question: Does a broken keyboard really mean that the phone is unusable, unreacheble and unfixable? Pleas tell me I am wrong!
As I have some pictures I would like to keep: Is there a way to create an image of the phone data or to copy e.g. /home/phablet in order to maybe restore some images and other stuff.
I tried connecting via adb, which yield no result:
$ sudo adb devices
List of devices attached
Remember, development mode is not enabled.
I can boot the phone into fastboot mode and get:
$ sudo fastboot devices
JU003207 fastboot
$
which looks promising.
I run arch Linux and have ubuntu installed in a VirtualBox. When I plug in the phone via USB, I don't get a reaction from dmesg. What I do get is the offer from VirtualBox to make "MediaTek Android [0100]" available. In VirtualBox I get the same results with adb and fastboot as above.
I managed to flash using a dedicated (not VM) Ubuntu machine and
$ sudo ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en --device=krillin
I had to run it several times and on some of these intents, I used the options
--recovery-image /path/to/recovery-krillin.img
and
--bootstrap
The push processes complete, the phone reboots into recovery and ubuntu-device-flash ends successfully, but when I reboot the problems remain the same.
The modem installed properly on 14.04, it worked on installation of ubuntu. It's a Broadcom modem, and it's tied into the Broadcom bluetooth card. But the bluetooth does not function on 14.04. Ubuntu says it's disabled what can I do to fix this? It doesn't say that it's not there, it just says disabled even after I turn it on.
rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: asuswlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
UPDATE: I removed asus-bluetooth's soft block by running the following commands:
$sudo modprobe -b asus-wmi
$rfkill unblock all
But it's still disabled in settings and I can't use it and it returns to being disabled after a short time
UPDATE:
$hcitool scan

Am I to assume that since it doesn't list bluetooth anywhere in that list that Ubuntu just doesn't realize that I have a bluetooth device? It would explain why I've tried virtually everything to enable it but it won't work. Please help.
UPDATE:
Since upgrading to 14.10 bluetooth works as long as I rfkill unblock all
UPDATE:
and now since I removed ubuntu and reinstalled from scratch 14.10 it works fine without a hitch

And Why rproxy appeared in message error even there is no proxy in my settings .

However , i get new error message:

On occasion I receive forms to fill in as PDFs intended for printing (these are not true PDF forms, they do not contain fields). I would like to type onto them, and perhaps add a scanned copy of my signature. This way I could just email them back. Is this possible?
