Trainz 2022 native Steam install problems https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567524/trainz-2022-native-steam-install-problems

I just bought the Trainz 2022 Platinum Edition (or "TRS22PE") and for some reason it freezes on launch. No combination of any Proton version and/or launch options helps. Changing these does make it freeze at different times/show different things, but it's not really a difference at all.

I tried to make this come across in my video. I also have a kernel log from some time after I had recorded it (the sudo dmesg one if that makes any sense). I believe I showed it in the video, but opening the other window for the Content Store also is a problem, as the Content Store window only refreshes/shows most of the screen whenever I minimize/maximize the window. I say most of the screen because the scroll thing on the side still works and the background audio on the main menu after the launcher plays. Is this even fixable? This is on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS. Also, changing to Xorg and X11 instead of Wayland didn't help, either.

How can I share a Canon LBP2900 printer from Ubuntu 24.04 to Windows PCs? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567523/how-can-i-share-a-canon-lbp2900-printer-from-ubuntu-24-04-to-windows-pcs

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and have my Canon LBP2900 printer connected through a USB port. I first installed the driver after getting it from: https://printerdrivers.com/canon-lbp2900b-driver/ The printer performs well on my Ubuntu system. Now I want to share it with other computers in my local network, even those running Windows. What is the best approach to share a Canon LBP2900 from Ubuntu so that other devices can print to it?

Possible to unlock 1password with Yubikey? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567521/possible-to-unlock-1password-with-yubikey

I am a happy user of the 1password password manager on an Ubuntu 26.04 desktop. Except - I need to type my very long master password every time I unlock the browser (Firefox) 1password extension, which is annoying.

I would like to use my Yubikey Nano 5.x series to unlock the 1password browser extension with passwordless authentication. I'd like to be able to just touch my Yubikey and be logged on to 1password in the browser. Is this feasible?

The closest I've managed to get to is to have the 1password desktop application (not browser extension) use my Yubikey as a second factor after I provide the master password. It's not very close to where I want to be, but at least it shows that 1password can use my Yubikey as an authentication factor.

To do that, I uninstalled the snap version of the 1password desktop app, installed the 1password desktop app from https://support.1password.com/install-linux/#debian-or-ubuntu and enabled "system authentication". I had already enrolled my Yubikey as a second factor in my 1password account, as I access the password vault from multiple computers.

Is my desirable setup possible on Ubuntu 26.04 and has anyone managed to get it to work?

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS booting very slowly [closed] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567519/ubuntu-20-04-6-lts-booting-very-slowly

My Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS was updated itself automatically and asked to be rebooted. I let it do so. It booted very slowly. If I run

systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 17.865s (firmware) + 13.633s (loader) + 1min 49.055s (kernel) + 5min 18.512s (userspace) = 7min 39.067s 
graphical.target reached after 2min 19.851s in userspace

My Virtual machine does not start automatically any more and I don't see my phone in Files, when connected by USB.
Before my machine restarted about 1 minute. Now it take 5 minutes.

Fortunately Android Studio can see my phone by USB, so I can continue developing and test apps with it, even if Files does not show my phone.

Any ideas, what causes this this slow booting now and why mount phone can't be seen in Files any more.

Printerdriver problem ASUS M509DA https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567518/printerdriver-problem-asus-m509da

I bought a second hand ASUS M509DA laptop. I installed Kubuntu-Kde on it and I updated and upgraded the system to Kubuntu 26.04 LTS. There is a keyboard problem that I can´t resolve. All the special characters are on different keys than expected. The problem is maybe that there is only ONE Asus keyboard on the whole list of keyboard definitions, called ASUS laptop. I can´t produce any diakritical characters either, nor use ALT-. I hope somebody has suggestions on how to solve this. Thanks in advance.

I ran killall -3 gnome-shell because I was trying to troubleshoot something. Now the entire screen is TV static and it won't even show me anything. I tried hard resetting and even running it in recovery mode, rebooting it from the terminal as well. Now it's just a black screen.

Auto Update Not working - Grub Error https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567515/auto-update-not-working-grub-error

I'm new to Linux. I'm running Ubuntu 24.04.4 on a desktop computer. When updates happen I keep getting an error message that the update failed.

I have run sudo apt-get install -f and sudo apt autoremove. I get the following error message from both:

Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub'
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 1: /etc/default/grub: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 2

Errors were encountered while processing:

Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have looked at the grub file in /etc/default/grub and it shows:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`( . /etc/os-release; echo ${NAME:-Ubuntu} ) 2>/dev/null || echo Ubuntu`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

It seems the issue is in the GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= line, but according to what I've found on the internet the line looks OK from a syntax standpoint.

Feature Request - Introduce a slider, or drop-down menu for time-out value for auto dimming screen [closed] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567514/feature-request-introduce-a-slider-or-drop-down-menu-for-time-out-value-for-a

I'm not sure why my askubuntu account seems to have been reset. I have had my launchpad account since 2013, and I have been submitting bugs since Ubuntu 10.

Either way, I noticed in the settings program, under Power, and Power Saving, it lists "Dim Screen" however, it does not list a changable timeout value for how long it takes for the screen to dim.

I would like to see the ability to change this setting via GUI, maybe have a drop down option under "Dim Screen" that is dynamic, and pops up once you toggle the option "Dim Screen"

I think that having a set list of values (30 seconds, a minute, five minutes) as opposed to a dynamic user set value field might be best.

Illustration of the settings applet.

Also, I know I posted in the wrong section, it won't let me post in the feature request forum even though I have had my account since 2013.....

How do I share my screen with Teams in Firefox / Ubuntu 26.04 (Wayland)? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567512/how-do-i-share-my-screen-with-teams-in-firefox-ubuntu-26-04-wayland

Screen sharing used to be simple, but since Ubuntu 26.04 uses GNOME without X11 support, only Wayland, the situation changed. Wayland is more secure than X11 and makes it harder for one app access the contents of other apps windows.

If I try to share the screen in Firefox (149.0.2, distributed with Ubuntu), the following happens: first, a dialog appears:

enter image description here

I click on "Allow", select the display to share, briefly a screen sharing icon appears in the GNOME toolbar:

enter image description here

and then disappears. Screen is not shared. The same thing happens if I try to share a window, even a Firefox Window. How can you share a screen with Teams in Firefox on Ubuntu 26.04?

Printer is seen, nothing is sent to it, though https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567511/printer-is-seen-nothing-is-sent-to-it-though

Ubuntu 25.10, USB-printer Brother DCP-L2530DW. This printer worked on this system when I still uses wayland. I moved back to X for compatibility with both hard- and software. Since then the printer can be found, but nothing gets sent to it. I juggled around with cups ind brother-drivers and am just getting deeper in a mess. So how can I remove all printer-related material from Ubuntu, and what do I then need to make it use this printer properly?

Need working procudure to update 24.04.4 LTC [duplicate] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567510/need-working-procudure-to-update-24-04-4-ltc

can I update from 24.04.4 LTS to newest version yet? If not when will 26.04.01 LTS be available

In Ubuntu 24.04 there's no sound from the headphones, only from the speakers https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567509/in-ubuntu-24-04-theres-no-sound-from-the-headphones-only-from-the-speakers

I have a new ThinkPad-E16-Gen-3, bought without any OS, on which I put Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. My CPU is Intel Core 3 100U × 8.

While sound works from the laptop's integrated speaker, no sound whatsoever has ever come out of my (otherwise working) headphones/earplugs - and this, despite them being recognized by the system when I test the sound in vain.

Following advice on this website, I checked the codec and this is what I got:

My input:

~$ grep "Codec:" /proc/asound/card*/codec*

My terminal’s output:

/proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Codec: Conexant SN6140
/proc/asound/card0/codec#2:Codec: Intel Raptor Lake P HDMI

How can I fix this? I can't code, just copy and paste the right input on my terminal if I have clear instructions.

How to run a .bat file? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567493/how-to-run-a-bat-file

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 and I have the 9.something version of Wine installed. I have a few games which require running a .bat file (since it wasn't made for Linux) in order to work. When I try to right-click -> Open with wine installer, nothing happens. Then I tried this:

~$ wine cmd.exe /c home/myself/Downloads/thegamefiles/Start—thegame.bat

I got this result:

007c:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\\Registry\\Machine\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\winebth": c0000135
Can't recognize '/home/myself/Downloads/thegamefiles/Start—thegame.bat' as 
an internal or external command, or batch script.

What is the problem and how can I get this to work?

I also tried to make a .sh copy of the file (with #!/bin/bash instead of @echo off), but the terminal tells me command not found for every line. edit: As asked I made this output on the terminal

~$ ls -l /home/myself/Downloads/thegamefiles/Start—thegame.bat

And I got this:

ls: cannot access '/home/myself/Downloads/thegamefiles/Start—thegame.bat': No such file or driectory

And I can also give the code inside the bat file :

@echo off
title title of the game
echo.

echo          title of the game
echo         the game

Computer is responding slowly since the recent upgrade https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567492/computer-is-responding-slowly-since-the-recent-upgrade

I'm running Ubuntu Studio 26.04, and have had a problem with the keyboard and mouse responding very slowly. Also when playing video on Firefox the picture is very jerky and appears to be running at a very low frame rate, 2 or 3 fps.

I think the hardware is OK as I can run Firefox from a live USB stick, and everything runs as it should.

While I was running the live distro I checked the filesystem using fsck -f /dev/sda5. It found a couple of errors with an inode (something about a wide tree) which I fixed. When I rebooted into Ubuntu it was just as slow.

This is what my system reports:

Operating System: Ubuntu Studio 26.04
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2
Kernel Version: 7.0.0-22-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 4 × AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor
Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (23.2 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: AMD RS780

Unfortunately I don't know what software was updated when the problems started.

I haven't seen any similar faults reported. Where should I start looking?

Automatically swtiched from interim release to LTS https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567490/automatically-swtiched-from-interim-release-to-lts

BackupPC fails to backup Clients running Kubuntu 26.04LTS https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567415/backuppc-fails-to-backup-clients-running-kubuntu-26-04lts

I have been using BackupPC for very many years. I have 2 backup systems (belt and braces) backing up about 25 clients of various sorts all running Linux in various flavours. All the backups use rsync for the backups,

Currently both BackupPCs are Raspberry Pi5s running RaspiOS. Both have the same problem, so I think the problem lies with the Clients, not the Hosts.

BackupPC is Version 4.4.0-8
rsync_bpc version 3.1.3.0

I recently changed the OS on my PC and Laptop to Kubuntu 26.04 (previously running Gentoo with BackupPC working fine) and have the same sudo settings as before. I have no Firewall running. I picked the main command out and issued it from the command line with -vvv added and I get this:

The ssh keys work fine using the client name or the IP address. I can ssh in without a password. I can run a simple rsync command from the host to the client and rsync a folder from /etc/ from the client, no problem. I have this in my sudoers file, same as all the other clients:

backuppc  ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync  --server --sender *

I have also tried this simpler version:

backuppc  ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync

I have disabled %admin and %sudo and have User_Alias instead, but the error is the same. What is it about Kubuntu 26.04 that can be causing this?

How to fix Qt5 unmet dependencies https://askubuntu.com/questions/880028/how-to-fix-qt5-unmet-dependencies

I'm running Ubuntu 16.10 with Qt4.8.7 and I'd like to install Qt5 in order to compile a package. I installed qt5-qmake from the repo, and set the default to qt5:

export QT_SELECT=qt5
./configure && make
...fatal error: QtCore/QTextCodec: No such file or directory

So the package wouldn't compile, apparently because of an include statement:

include "<"QtCore/QtGlobal

for which I think I need the development environment. First, I tried to install it from the Qt site, by downloading qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.6.1.run, then I tried to install qtbase5-dev from Synaptic.

That didn't work because of unmet dependencies. All the installed files mentioned are ubuntu7-2 versions from the main Ubuntu Yakkety repo; the required ubuntu6-4 versions are also available. They are also used in a great many other packages which I can't afford to break.

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] ?

Apt-get's solution is to leave it unchanged.

It seems odd that the main repo version of Qt 5.6.1 requires different libraries to the other packages.

It looks like I need to downgrade these libraries from 7.2 to to 6.4. Can I do this safely, and install Qt 5.6.1? Or is there a better way to fix the problem?

$ apt-cache policy libqt5core5a
libqt5core5a:
  Installed: 5.6.1+dfsg-3ubuntu7~2
  Candidate: 5.6.1+dfsg-3ubuntu7~2
  Version table:
 *** 5.6.1+dfsg-3ubuntu7~2 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     5.6.1+dfsg-3ubuntu6~4 500
        500 http://mirrors.psu.ac.th/ubuntu yakkety/main amd64 Packages

I eventually sorted this out by using Synaptic to force the qtbase5-dev dependencies to the previous (Yakkety-upgrades or Yakkety) versions.

This left the libmir files. Manually installing them failed, but shows the problematic dependencies. Repeating for the dependencies and working down through them eventually led to one or two files which needed to be downgraded.

Forcing that via Synaptic also removed a host of basic Yakkety applications; it's a pity I couldn't find a way to downgrade them in parallel, keeping a consistent system, but in the end I let them go, installed Qt5, and manually reinstalled the missing packages by using Synaptic's Status 'Not installed (residual config)' section to identify and reinstall them.

I had a couple of minor issues with security-related packages on reboot, but quickly solved with Google.

How to install Brother Printer MFC-L2740DW https://askubuntu.com/questions/866647/how-to-install-brother-printer-mfc-l2740dw

I am using Lubuntu, and I wanted to connect my printer, to my computer. But I followed the commands given by the brother company, but I was unable to make that work, because I wanted the wireless approach of it. For that I need the device URI, but I clicked auto for that, and that worked, but the installation of the device didn't work.

Can't use bluetooth audio device despite Pulseaudio modules loaded and device connected https://askubuntu.com/questions/838311/cant-use-bluetooth-audio-device-despite-pulseaudio-modules-loaded-and-device-co

I already spent hours and hours to get my bluetooth audio device running.

  • System: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial, all updates installed, running on a Lenovo Y50 Notebook

  • Device: Bluetooth receiver MR230, with analog audio output. It is meant to connect to an old hi-fi system. The device won't connect automatically, but I can find, pair, trust, and connect it with bluetoothctl without problems. The bluetooth manager shows it as a headphone.

  • the pactl list short command shows, that the modules module-bluetooth-discover, module-bluez5-discover, module-switch-on-connect, and module-bluetooth-policy are all running (after I started them manually)

But still, I can't choose the device in pavucontrol because it doesn't appear there. I might have messed up some of my config files during these tries, though it should still work as all necessary modules are loaded and the device is connected.

Any ideas?
