Whever i download a documento i try to open it my Ubuntu 26.04 LTS reboots.
This is creating creppling conditions for a normal ubunut use. Can you help me?
I tried to run it from the terminal and received the following message.
Maybe this is important to know:
steam-runtime-check-requirements[55261]: W: Child process exited with code 1: bwrap: Can't open /proc/self/mountinfo: Permission denied
Question:
For common U.S. English words that are flagged as misspelled, is there a way to get updated or better U.S. English support, other then selecting "Ignore" or "Add to Dictionary" for each word?
Background:
GNOME Text Edit (gnome-text-editor) flags some widely accepted English words as misspelled. The spell-check dictionary seems outdated to me; otherwise, the dictionary / spell-check functionality works well for most words.
Since the same dictionary is used across GNOME applications, this is also an issue for other applications on my desktop, such as Firefox (deb package), Gnome Builder, etc..
Examples:
For example, the following words are not found in the dictionary.
Current Language Support on My System
As you can see I already have hunspell-en-us installed:
$ dpkg -l hunspell-en-*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-==============-==============-============-========================================
ii hunspell-en-us 1:2020.12.07-4 all English_american dictionary for hunspell
If I navigate to "Region & Language" in System Settings, Ubuntu recommends I install the following language support. However, I do not see the value of installing these, since I am a U.S. English speaker, and I suspect installing language packs for other English regions will not address the core issue.
hunspell-en-au
hunspell-en-ca
gimp-help-en
hunspell-en-gb
wbritish
gimp-help-en-gb
hunspell-en-za
I have a desktop with several drives, let's just refer to /home, Documents, and Pictures for this. I would like each partition to have different settings, such as:
Is it possible to do this in Kubuntu 26.04?
I am using Ubuntu 26.04 with the default GNOME desktop.
I want to change the font and font size in the Terminal, but I cannot find the Preferences option. Most tutorials say to open Terminal and go to Preferences, but that option does not exist in my installation.
I have tried:
None of these show a Preferences option.
Questions:
If needed, I can provide screenshots of the Terminal window and menu.
I'm mildly tech savvy but the answer to this issue escapes me and I'm asking for directions to where I could read the necessary documentation for getting this device to boot either OS - the Linux image I have on a USB jump drive or the Windows original OS. At this point anything to boot would be better than the, "no bootable devices found" mess I'm in. Some back story may help.
I found this laptop outside a dumpster in my apartment complex but after turning it on I realized that it was locked down by CVS (yes the pharmacy store) under an employee make to login with. The BIOS wasn't locked, hell it didn't even have an admin password set. So I proceeded to try an option under the BIOS that wipes the drive of all information which I thought at that point it would boot to a new Windows install, no longer corporation locked. Much to my chagrin this didn't happen and now even trying to boot a Linux installation, Ubuntu 16.04.7, won't properly locate even the SSD disk as a viable option to boot from. I'm worried that when I wiped the disk on the next boot, which is an option in the Support Recovery BIOS screen, that I somehow have pointed the computer in the wrong direction to look for the bootable devices necessary to boot either OS that is still available in the memory of the device or the USB that has the Ubuntu 16.04.7 image on it.
Any help in this arena would be most appreciated. I've scoured the web but turned up minimal results. I imagine that after pressing F12 repeatedly when powering on the device and navigating to Device Configuration that the answer to my woes are in there somewhere. Mainly in the Platform Driver Override selection menu of the TPV EFI Device Manager because there I find numerous choices that start with PciRoot(0x0) and in the string it'll have things like, NVMe(0x1,22-AB-33-44-55-6C-C7-8D) (not the actual numbers for the string) or USB(STRING) and also MBR in one in particular. I'm just not well versed on Dell OS recovery enough to know what those options are really referencing or which of the drivers I need to select so the computer can point to the correct location of the USB slot so I can boot Linux but at this point info on the MBR option(s) would suffice. I'm just over the no bootable devices found screen. Help please
I'm having an issue about the Ubuntu Desktop 26.04 installer, and I can't find a solution. I tried nomodeset, but nothing worked and after choosing the interactive install, and choosing Install Ubuntu it crashes. I spent 3 days trying to reinstall the iso and put it on a fresh USB 3.0 drive.
I am new to Ubuntu and have just installed it on my laptop. My first move is to install yWriter to port some of my projects. On the install page for Linux the instructions are to change your terminal location to a newly created folder containing yWriter, however I have only just opened a terminal window for the first time today and have no idea how to change it's present working directory.
After logging in with the trial version Ubuntu 16.04 it logs in and all the information goes in to set it up for trial. After about a minute it pops back out and goes back into asking me to log back in. I get no error messages and I have the latest version of Asus Bios 06/18/206 The motherboard is a TUF Gaming X870-PLUS WiFi. Asus AMD Ryzen 9900x processor. Thank you Andy
Windows 7 is running on my desktop. How can the Kubuntu ISO be successfully downloaded for use on a Linux laptop? Previous attempts result in this for the downloaded ISO. What am I doing wrong? Is the Kubuntu version an important consideration?
Hola hay alguna manera de redirigir la carpeta predetermina del Bluetooth (que es Descargas en Ubuntu 22.04) a otra carpeta ejemplo : Descargas/BluetoothA ? sin afectar las otras descargas de Chrome , etc
I have repurposed an HP Elite laptop that has been running Linux Mint 22 successfully. I wish to install Ubuntu instead of Mint. I have created a USB boot .iso, and I have changed the boot order in the BIOS.
When I select f10 to save and exit, the system does not boot into the new OS. It just reverts to the Mint desktop.
I have tried this several times unsuccessfully.
I am using Ubuntu 24.04, currently with the standard unity-like desktop (because my preferred choice of gnome flashback/compiz/lightdm doesn't currently work properly). If I have multiple instances of the same application, eg spreadsheets, I wish to keep them in a specific order in the icon strip on the left hand side. I can do this by creating them in the order I want, but sometimes they seem to get moved on their own. I want to move them back to my preferred order without having to close and reopen them all. All the answers I've found on line suggest you can drag and drop them, but this doesn't seem to work. Once dragged, wherever I try to drop they they gain a small "no entry" sign (circle with a diagonal line through it) and simply fall back to where they started.
I have installed some configuration mods for my terminal, but I messed some things up, and this is how the terminal looks like now:
This is how I want it to look like as usual:
A fresh new terminal after you installed Ubuntu. What is the solution for this?
I am trying to install Zorin from a dvd on an old laptop but am having a problem with changing the bios system from OS Boot Manager to USB CD/DVD Rom Drive.
I have moved USB CD/DVD Rom Drive to the list of option by using F6 but note that the arrow still remains againstOS Boot Manager, and after pressing F10 to exit and save, the required changes do not take place.
Can anyone help me an 86 year old computer novice, resolve this issue.
I have turned my monitor physically in portrait position. I adjusted Settings -> Displays so that the layout for my desktop is okay, but the login screen is still landscape.
I read that this problem could be fixed with following instructions:
sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm3/.config/
sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm3/.config/monitors.xml
sudo systemctl restart gdm3
But to no avail, it just does not work. No matter if I reboot or even completely turn off and back on computer. The login screen remains in landscape position.
According to mutter documentation monitors.xml is read from /etc/xdg. Copied file there but it did not work either. This is clearly an issue that cannot be fixed with blind workarounds.
I edited /etc/xdg/monitors.xml so that there were different settings than in ~/.config/monitors.xml. After that tothing happens in gdm process login screen as I have tested oh so many times. But the change had effects in user process desktop. Is it so that mutter under gdm does not have same capabilities than under user process desktop? If so, this is just banging head on the wall.
Could someone please explain the architecture behind all this gdm/mutter/gnome-shell mess?
First, thanks for the feedback. I'm embarrassed because IRL, I used to do QA.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Desktop to an external SanDisk 4 TB SSD drive from a usb microsd card reader with a 28 GB card in it.
I get the "Something went wrong" screen. This happens with two different computers.
This is very reproducible.
The download checksum verified successfully.

I need the best way to sync Google Drive on my Ubuntu LTS 26.04 with local cache that allows me to keep working for at least a day without any internet.

Dolphin + Dolphin Plugins + Konqueror + KIO GDrive + KIO Admin: Can't even add the Google account on Dolphin. Page shows blank.
rclone bisync fails randomly and repeatedly. --resyncing has destroyed my work multiple times now. I can provide the last used code if asked.
I've done this many times on different systems, but this has me puzzled:
OS: Ubuntu 26.04 Server
Had an external drive that I was permanently mounting using the fstab.
/dev/sda1 /data ext4 defaults 0 0
I removed the drive and of course it rebooted and went into recovery mode. So I edited the /etc/fstab and removed the external drive mount. Now when it reboots, it still hangs up on trying to mount that drive.
Does Ubuntu 26 store the information that is/was in the fstab in another spot? Like a database or other file? I noticed the fstab in Ubuntu 26 is very minimal, so I'm guessing there is some sort of other place that needs to be updated??
Again, this way of mounting the external works just fine. It was a permanent mount on a non-GUI system. It doesn't auto-mount without an entry in the fstab. The question was that it was removed, and fstab entry was removed, but it still went to the recovery prompt.
Okay, so I see I've not been complete with my description. This is a server. The external drive mounted permanently. I had been doing this on my server for a long time (6+ years). I removed the drive because I'm moving it to another server, permanently. After removing the entry in the fstab, and rebooted, it still tried to mount the drive and therefore hung up and dropped into recovery mode.
On ubuntu 26.04 (revolute), I have some troubles with camera/webcame for Dell Latitude 73640. On the live USB of UBUNTU, camera is working. But not after installation...

I installed Wine on Ubuntu for the sole purpose of running Notepad++ on Ubuntu, but the GUI fonts and icons are so small they are unreadable.
Below is a full screenshot of my 75" screen (TV as monitor):
As you can see, the GUI font and icon sizes make it basically unusable.
I installed Wine using snap. I found that it could also be installed using apt, so I did a test wine install using that, but the only version of Notepad++ using apt version of wine is 6.x.x, which is only 32 bit and way too old, and I cannot install any plugins or upgrade it.
I tried changing the DPI setting using a snap instance of the winecfg tool, but it has no effect on my snap instance of Notepad++. I also found a number of versions of wine and winecfg:
I am not sure why these are all installed, nor am I sure which instance is being 'used' by /snap/notepad-plus-plus.
Any help on which wine instance is used and how to fix the Notepad++ GUI font and icon size would be gratefully received.
I installed Notepad++ on my Ubuntu 22.04 via terminal
sudo snap install notepad-plus-plus
However, the text of the UI buttons, tabs, dropdown menues (not the opened file text), is too small compared with others UI, apps in my OS.
So, is there a way to increase the font size of UI buttons, tabs, dropdown menues?
I have searched on the internet but I can't find a way to solve this problem for Ubuntu (there are some methods suggested for Windows).
What I expect to find is a plugin for Notepad++ or an external app that increase the font size of a selected app.
Can anybody point me some of these ones, if any of them exist?
I have a pdf file in two-column format. Is it possible to extract the text in a single-column format? I realize that some parts of the document, such as page-wide illustrations, will require special treatment.
While trying to access my Ubuntu VM, I am facing intermittent ssh connectivity issue. Please note this is an intermittent issue.I have checked /etc/hosts , hosts.allow , hosts.deny files as per available posts related to this issue but could not see any wrong entries over these config files.

I want to burn Ubuntu Minimal CD ISO to an old, 1 GB USB thumbdrive. Regular ISO doesn't fit. I already tried Startup Disk Creator and Unetbootin but both failed. I tried installing GRUB and pointing it to boot like this:
insmod part_msdos
linux /linux
initrd /initrd.gz
but it doesn't work. I also tried dd but I ended up with not bootable drive.
Rufus worked on Windows with the same thumbdrive but I no longer use Windows.
What else can I do?
I'm new to Ubuntu and want to disable the turbo boost. I tried with cpufreq but i cant get it to work. is there any other way to do it.
In windows it was as easy as changing the CPU speed from 100 to 99.
I tried to read some posts regarding mounting a new hard drive, but I am facing some problem. My new hard drive is sda1. The output of sudo fdisk -l is:

What should be done to add this new sda1 hard drive on booting up? What should be added in the /etc/fstab file? I have not performed any partition on the new sda1 drive. I need help on how to proceed from scratch and can't afford to take any risk.
Please help!

========================================
How do I disable / delete the read only filesystem? Is my USB corrupted?
I have a few external hard drives (SSDs and Platters (SATA), is this possible that I can install Kubuntu 10.10 x64 or Ubuntu 10.10 x64 onto one of these external hard drives? My System supports booting off a usb, it will just give me a learning playground without spoiling my existing operating environment. I know I can install as Virtual machines, but installing U/Kubuntu on a External HDD and booting off it would be easier.
Will be grateful for your insights....and steps to do so. Thanks
