Trying to upgrade (from rel 18) to current release of Ubuntu - I didn't do an Umount before booting - Now I'm getting error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found Entering rescue mode... grub rescue>
For context, I have had Ubuntu 22 dual-booted with Windows for a while (partitioned on the same drive), and then Windows gave me the screen where I needed to enter a Bitlocker recovery key, so I've been working in Ubuntu instead. However, the other day, I decided to try changing some BIOS settings to see if I could undo what led to Bitlocker activating, but instead I ended up accidentally removing Ubuntu from the Boot Manager. I want to regain my ability to access Ubuntu without losing any of my files if at all possible. Here's my PasteBin from the Boot Repair tool: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4J8ZxStGy8/. Additionally, if it is helpful, here is the information I get when I enter "sudo fdisk -l" into the Terminal (I am using Try Ubuntu from a USB): https://pastebin.com/vdFHeMc1. Please help me figure out how to proceed.

I recently installed Ubuntu 24.04LTS on my iMac and today I noticed that there are extraneous characters in the command line prompt when I log in via ssh from my laptop: 35uuuuu@hhhhh:~$ (user and hostnames are here obfuscated for security. the '35' are not there when I use Terminal. It's not quite a showstopper, but I'd like to fix that if possible, Here's my PS1:
$ echo $PS1

Environment:
- Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (GNOME, Wayland)
- evolution-data-server 3.52.3-0ubuntu1.2
- evolution-ews 3.52.0-1build1
- gnome-online-accounts 3.50.4-0ubuntu2
Setup:
I added my corporate Microsoft 365 / Exchange account in Evolution using Edit → Accounts → Add, selecting "Microsoft 365" as the server type. Email works fine, but the calendar fails to sync with the error:
The calendar backend servicing "Calendar" encountered an error.
The reported error was "BadRequest: Parsing OData Select and Expand failed: Could not find a property named 'contentBytes' on type 'microsoft.graph.attachment'."
How can I fix this and get my Exchange/Microsoft 365 calendar working in Evolution?
I installed KDE's spectacle tool for capturing screenshots in Ubuntu Cinnamon (24.04) as the default screenshot tool does not have all the features I need.
sudo apt install kde-spectacle
However, when I try try to capture a screenshot, the app crashes.
Here is the error message in terminal:
$ spectacle

How to fix it?
As per advice provided here, on YouTube and elsewhere, I used Timeshift for backups to my system files and sometimes for backing up data files, though I sometimes use another program for the data alone.
Lately my main SSD drive had the initramfs startup error.
Following the advice of others online with this issue, I did a file system check for the afflicted drive, following the prompts offered for fixing or ignoring and then rebooted.
Unfortunately, the reboot got stuck halfway through.
So I tried a system restore to the affected drive. Unfortunately I chose the leave /boot on root drive option so it didn't boot on restarting.
Subsequent efforts at restoring have failed and at this stage the Live USB Ubuntu 24.04.4 that I am using to admin things simply no longer "sees" the main SSD drive.
I have tried to restore to a new HDD drive (2 TB) but all I see at the end of this process is two empty folders in the partition that was to hold the restored system and data files. One is called home, the other is called boot.
Q1. Is Timeshift even intended for the eventuality of a main drive failing and restoring to be done onto a new drive ?
Q2. If yes to Q1. then why isn't it even trying to copy the system and boot files onto the new drive ?
In setting the restore, I set every part of the restore to sdb1 - the partition of the new HDD that is dedicated to my system and data.
I cloned a bootable volume which has resulted in the EFI partitions having the same UUID. This is causing confusion in FSTAB so I want to change one of them. The recommended way is to use tune2fs but this doesn't support vfat. How do I do it?
EDIT
This shows the UUID I want to change:
chris@Home:~$ blkid
...
/dev/nvme0n1p2: UUID="9AB6-F33F" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI boot partition" PARTUUID="4145ac94-fa18-4c5e-816f-2d54fc0db201"

I'm currently trying to install python3 onto ubuntu24.04.3. I only realized that python came preinstalled with ubuntu after attempting sudo apt install python3.
I have now seemed to have permanently borked python and apt on my system. When I try to run any python operation, the system cannot find the python3command. When I try to run sudo apt install python3, I get the following output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3 : Depends: libpython3-stdlib (= 3.12.3-0ubuntu2.1) but 3.12.3-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I tried to run sudo apt install libpython3-stdliband got the following output:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I thought that there might have been an issue with my apt repos, so I ran a sudo apt update. It resulted in this error:

I was referred to this post and tried running sudo apt install --reinstall python3 python python3-minimal --fix-broken. After which I got this error:
Package python is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
2to3 python-is-python3
So I tried running the same command without python sudo apt install --reinstall python3 python3-minimal --fix-broken and got the following error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3 : Depends: libpython3-stdlib (= 3.12.3-0ubuntu2.1) but 3.12.3-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Still stuck on this.

I'm running stock Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and am having a problem with Gnome Characters version 46. For some reason, I can find special/exotic characters but can't find 'normal' characters like the ASCII characters in it. For instance, when searching equal sign in the app I see variants of the equal sign character, but not the base character with code U+003D (screenshot below).
In addition, if I exit the search and navigate to the Letters section on the left, instead of the Latin Capital Letters at the start I see the following:

When I try to start Okular to view PDFs, I get this error:
/snap/okular/173/usr/bin/okular: error while loading shared libraries: libPlasmaActivities.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but when I start the Snap Store and click on "Installed" to try to view the installed applications, the page is completely blank. Nothing ever loads.
If I run
snap list
on the command line I can see all the installed applications and okular shows up.
I tried running
sudo snap refresh
sudo snap remove okular && sudo snap install okular
to fix ocular, but it still gives the error above. On the command line after running that last command I get:
okular removed (snap data snapshot saved)
okular 25.04.3 from KDE✓ installed
A recent auto-upgrade from 6.14.0-37 to 6.17.0-14 yields a kernel panic at boot: Unable to mount root fs Unknown Block (0,0)
To get the machine up I have to select 6.14.0-37 from the GRUB boot menu. I can no longer do a normal boot/reboot because GRUB auto boots the newest (bad) kernel. I want to remove 6.17.0-14 from the GRUB menu.
All the help articles I've found instruct how to remove old kernel versions. How do I remove the NEWEST kernel version and retain the oldest in GRUB?

The Ubuntu Pro (formerly known as Ubuntu Advantage) client software may be undesirable for users who do not wish to utilize the associated services. While installed, these packages may do such things as;
/var/log/ubuntu-advantage.logHow can this software be removed?
I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 22.10 to Ubuntu 23.04 and it seems nice. The only thing I do not like is the new emblem which counts the notifications. Is it possible to remove it but keep the notifications in the notification area?
I have a problem that is driving me crazy and could not find a solution in the web jet, so I would appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a laptop MSI prestige running kubuntu 22.04. I had to install kernel 5.18 so that the wifi work. I also installed nvidia drivers 515.48 (this solved some heating problems that I had). So now it seems that everything runs good, but for a small random problem: plasma does not always start automatically. Usually, when the computer boots sddm fails so I have to change to another console, restart sddm and everything works fine. That is the usual procedure, but sometimes sddm starts good by itself on boot and sometimes everything is stuck and I have to reboot the computer. The error I see in syslo is
sddm[1002]: Failed to read display number from pipe
sddm[1002]: Could not start Display server on vt 1
Some of the parameters I have in grub that I read could help:
ibt=off rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1
I read that it could be related to the fact sddm is launched prior to GPU being properly initialised, but not sure if it is really that and how to correct it.
So if anyone has some ideas, that would be great
journalctl -b0 -u sddm.service

Is there a way to change how quickly (or how far) a laptop touchpad scrolls?
This question is specific to 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). Although there are many similar questions, none asks specifically about 22.04. The answers for 22.04 will likely differ from past answers because 22.04 (I think) uses Wayland instead of X.org (whatever that means).

I checked for include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf, both exist from /usr/src/linux-headers-5.8.0-38-generic, so I think this top part of log runs fine.
After the above output there are a few gcc commands that complete and then one that fails, causing guest additions to abort:

I'm guessing this is a gcc version issue or headers issue but there are no further upgrades available. I just found a comment on Problem installing virtualBox Guest Additions suggesting known issues so I will first try upgrading. I will post answer if this works, stay tuned.
Starting MariaDB fails on my Ubuntu 19 installation after this:

I have created an apparmor profile where I'm trying to make it allow /usr/sbin/mysqld writing rights on run/systemd/notify:

The funny thing is, the file MariaDB needs is /run/systemd/notify (absolute path) while it requests writing rights to run/systemd/notify (no starting slash, so relative path). But removing the slash makes the profile fail:
$ sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
AppArmor parser error for /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld at line 29: syntax error, unexpected TOK_ID, expecting TOK_MODE
However, when I put the profile in complain mode and then let apparmor find out if any changes are needed, it doesn't find any problems:
$ sudo aa-complain mysqld
Setting /usr/sbin/mysqld to complain mode.
$ sudo aa-logprof

I'm new to both zsh and askubuntu, so please be gentle. :)
I'm going through this tutorial and have gotten stuck on the section "Changing Oh-My-ZSH Theme". I can apply the theme by editing my .zshrc and changing ZSH_THEME to my desired theme (wuffers), and some things change, like what shows up as soon as I create a new terminal (the first line, not sure what it's called). The little arrow will change to a smiley face, or some other little symbol. But the colors, background, and font never change, so when I "ls", the font and color is the same every time. I've checked via "echo $ZSH_THEME", and that gives me back what I applied (wuffers).
Here is a list of everything that I've tried:
I found this issue on the GitHub page where it seems their issue was solved, but I'm not sure what exactly they meant by package ("apt-get remove grml-zsh-config"?). So it very well may be the answer to my problem.
I'm running up-to-date Ubuntu 18.04.2.
The only plugin I have right now is git (and I've tried removing it to see if it made any difference - it didn't).
Here is my .zshrc file:

Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks.
Starting with 18.04 on both ends I want to access my remote machine via RDP.
I have verified that the client using remmina works very fast using GFX RFX colour depth connecting to a Windows 10 RDP server. Please note that neither of GFX AVC variants works as there seems that libfreerdp doesn't come prebuilt with their support on 18.04 (remmina installed by apt, not manually from their repo).
When I connect to an Ubuntu 18.04 server running xrdp, performance is not nearly the same: the entire experience is laggy, especially at resolutions above full HD. It is clearly not using the advanced codecs.
I tried installing Remmina from their repo to test the AVC depths, but the only thing that changes is removing the AVC depths from the list altogether so now I can't even select them (previously they just didn't work). Apt didn't touch the libfreerdp libraries though when I upgraded Remmina from their repo.
How can I set up my systems such that I will have good performance?
while installing another distro (Arch) I accidentally formatted my efi system partition. I then grabbed the chance and switched to systemd-boot. Arch boots fine now, but I want to add Ubuntu again and dual boot. Ubuntus root partition should be fine but since I wiped the efi system partition I guess I have to reinstall the kernel.
I tried chrooting from a live usb and install the kernel via apt-get but it says the kernel is on newest version.
sudo su
mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt # ubuntu root
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/boot # esp
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf
chroot /mnt
Then trying to install the kernel:
apt-get install linux-image-generic
Output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
linux-image-generic is already the newest version (4.13.0.38.41).
0 upgaded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 39 not upgraded.
Am I wrong, is the Kernel still there? How can I add Ubuntu to systemd-boot if the efi program is not on the esp?
Thanks a lot
i just installed ubuntu server on my laptop and everything works fine except for the fact that at boot if the laptop is not connected to ethernet or in range of my wi-fi i get this message "A start job is running for wait for network to be configured" that stays for about 2 minutes. I looked up online for solutions and i tried to:
None of these solutions worked for me. Any possible fixes?
Ubuntu 16.04 I have 2 instances of Nautilus (file explorer) open - in different drives and or folders.
I want to create a LINK to a file. It doesn't appear to be easily done - if I drag & drop the file it makes a copy. If I right-click the file the menu does have a 'Make Link', but it makes the link in the folder the file already is in (why would I want that?) - and I have to then drag the link to the place I want, which makes a copy of the link, and then I have to delete the link made in the place I don't want. Seems like very inefficient way. So, I'm probably missing something....?
I am using Ubuntu 16.04, and I'm stuck at a blue screen with no message.
First it boots to the Ubuntu logo.
Then it's just showing a blue screen with a mouse cursor and nothing else.
I got this error when setting up ssl on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (apache2, openssl)

Any thoughts on what might be going on here?
Thanks!

can somebody help me please?
Description
Today I plugged in another hard drive and unplugged my raid drives to ensure when I wiped the drive, I would not accidentally pick the wrong drives.
Now that I have re-plugged in my drives, the software raid 1 array is no longer being mounted/recognized/found. Using disk utility, I could see that the drives are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb so I tried running sudo mdadm -A /dev/sda /dev/sdb Unfortunately I keep getting an error message stating mdadm: device /dev/sda exists but is not an md array
Specifications:
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Desktop (64 bit)
Drives: 2 x 3TB WD Red (same models brand new) OS installed on third drive (64GB ssd) (many linux installs)
Motherboard: P55 FTW
Processor: Intel i7-870 Full Specs
Result of sudo mdadm --assemble --scan
mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically
When I boot from recovery mode I get a zillion 'ata1 error' codes flying by for a very long time.
Can anyone let me know the proper steps for recovering the array?
I would be happy just recover the data if that is a possible alternative to rebuilding the array. I have read about 'test disk' and it states on the wiki that it can find lost partitions for Linux RAID md 0.9/1.0/1.1/1.2 but I am running mdadm version 3.2.5 it seems. Has anyone else had experience with using this to recover software raid 1 data?
Result of sudo mdadm --examine /dev/sd* | grep -E "(^\/dev|UUID)"
mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/sda.
mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/sdb.

Smart tests on drives both came back 'healthy' however I cannot boot the machine with the drives plugged in when the machine is in AHCI mode (I dont know if this matters but these are 3tb WD reds). I hope this means the drives are fine as they were quite a bit to buy and brand new. Disk utility shows a massive grey 'unknown' shown below:
I have since removed my RevoDrive to try and make things simpler/clearer.
As far as I can tell, the motherboard doesn't have two controllers. Perhaps the Revodrive that I have since removed, which plugs in through pci was confusing things?
Has anyone got any suggestions for how to recover the data from the drive rather than rebuilding the array? I.e. a step-by-step on using testdisk or some other data recovery program....
I have tried putting the drives in another machine. I had the same issue where the machine would not get past the bios screen, but this one would constantly reboot itself. The only way to get the machine to boot would be to unplug the drives. I tried using different sata cables as well with no help. I did once manage to get it to discover the drive but again mdadm --examine revealed no block. Does this suggest my disks themselves are #@@#$#@ even though the short smart tests stated they were 'healthy'?
It appears the drives are truly beyond rescue. I cant even format the volumes in disk utility. Gparted wont see the drives to put a partition table on. I cant even issue a secure erase command to fully reset the drives. It was definitely a software raid that I had set up after discvering that the hardware raid I had initially tried was actually 'fake' raid and slower than software raid.
Thank you for all your efforts to trying to help me. I guess the 'answer' is there is nothing you can do if you somehow manage to kill both your drives simultaneously.
I retried SMART tests (this time in command line rather than disk utility) and the drives do respond successfully 'without error'. However, I am unable to format the drives (using disk utility) or have them recognized by Gparted in that machine or another. I am also unable to run hdparm secure erase or security-set-password commands on the drives. Perhaps I need to dd /dev/null the entire drives? How on earth are they still responding to SMART but two computers are unable to do anything with them? I am running long smart tests on both drives now and will post results in 255 minutes (that's how long it said it was going to take).
I have put the processor information up with the other technical specs (by motherboard etc) It turns out to be a pre-sandy architecture.

It said completed without error. Does that mean the drive should be fine or just that the test was able to complete? Should I start a new question as I'm more concerned about getting the use of the drives back rather than the data/raid array at this point...
Well today I was looking through my filesystem to see if there was any data to keep before setting up centOS instead. I noticed a folder called dmraid.sil in my home folder. I am guessing this is from when I had initially set up the raid array with the fake raid controller? I had made sure to remove the device (quite some time ago way before this problem) and just before using mdadm to create 'software raid'. Is there any way I have missed a trick somewhere and this was somehow running 'fake' raid without the device and that is what this dmraid.sil folder is all about? So confused. There are files in there like sda.size sda_0.dat sda_0.offset etc. Any advice on what this folder represents would be helpful.
Turns out the drives were locked! I unlocked them easily enough with hdparm command. This is probably what caused all the Input Output errors. Unfortunately I now have this problem:
I have managed to mount the md device. Is it possible to unplug one drive, format it to a normal drive and copy the data to that? Ive had enough 'fun' with raid and am going to go down an automated backups route with rsync I think. I want to ask before I do anything that may cause data integrity issues.
I am trying to set ZSH as my default shell, however it keeps reverting back to bash.
I have tried this code:
sudo chsh -s $(which zsh)
I've also tried:
sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh
Also tried these commands without sudo. Any ideas on what else I need to do. When running ZSH from within bash it loads up and works fine but I'd like to set it as the default shell.
I am following the Ubuntu server guide to configure OpenLDAP on an Ubuntu 10.04 server, but can not get it to work.
When I try to use sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=don,dc=com -W -f frontend.ldif I'm getting the following error:
Enter LDAP Password: <entered 'secret' as password>
adding new entry "dc=don,dc=com"
ldap_add: Naming violation (64)
additional info: value of single-valued naming attribute 'dc' conflicts with value present in entry
Again when I try to do the same, I'm getting the following error:
root@avy-desktop:/home/avy# sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=don,dc=com -W -f frontend.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
