The gdm is failing to run on tty1, but when I go to any other tty it fails to logs in, and then immediately kicks me out to the login prompt again.
Running on Ubuntu 24.04, I saw the post about the gdm failing but was wondering if anybody know why I can’t login to tty2 to fix it.

PipeWire 1.0.5
PipeWire / WirePlumber is causing my audio to sound like there's water in my speakers when the microphone is active.
I'm looking for either fix to issue or different audio microphone software that does not have this problem.
My company's SOC has tagged my Ubuntu 24.04 default python3 3.12.3 with CVE https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-4517
According to cve.org, to remediate the CVE I must upgrade python3 to at least 3.12.12. From what I've seen online I should only update the default Python with 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade.' But when I do so, the python3 version remains 3.12.3. How do I safely upgrade the default python3?
Thank you,
David
I just ran into a scenario where on one computer I can print no problem, and on another computer, it prints very oddly. Both computers have the same driver. That particular document is a pdf that is from handwriting things on notability on an ipad. The computer with printing issues has an older version of ubuntu, and I just upgraded it to 20.04 thinking that might make the difference but it has the same issues
I'm not even sure what info I should provide to differentiate the two computers and try to track it down?

The snap download kate command downloads snap applications without installing, but how to download similar applications from the Discover (community.kde.org) and Flatpak (GNOME project) stores
I simply installed applications from two foreign Ubuntu stores, under the * * * name FlatPak and "Discover," I want to separately download applications without installation, similar to your snap download kate command, and then install these applications.
(Original: Команда snap download kate скачивает приложения snap без установки, а как скачать аналогичные приложения из магазинов "Discover" (community.kde.org) и FlatPak (Проект GNOME)
Я попросту установил приложения от двух магазинов чужеродных Ubuntu, под ***наименованием FlatPak и "Discover", хочется в отдельности скачать приложения без установки, аналогичные вашей команде snap download kate, а потом установить эти приложения.)

Recently, I installed updates on my work desktop computer after not having access to it for a while. After rebooting it, one of the two screens didn't come back on. This one is plugged in via VGA and not HDMI (like the one that still works) or DP, so I figured it's probably a driver issue. After digging through nvidia docs a bit, I am now faced with the current situation.
When running `sudo apt --fix-broken install`, I get this error stack:
After this operation, 307 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y

I found this old question on here, which recommends removing the package where the file is "also" found in. However, this is my nvidia driver... surely that will break some things? Is there another workaround in 2026? Should I contact nvidia support directly?
Because I encrypted the drive and I'm already asked to enter a password at system boot, I wondered what downsides could arise if I check the 'automatic login' option for my user, as this would streamline accessing the computer, having to enter just 1 instead of 2 passwords every single time. Thank you.
The USB-C ports on Asus NUC 14 Pro (BTW...Asus says Ubuntu 24.04 and Windows 11 are 2 supported OS on the NUC 14). Searching and diving into a possible fix I see others with the same configuration have the same problem. I've tried many supposed remedies with no luck. I even sent NUC back (bare bones) for testing and it tested fine. I put my NvMe and memory back in and it still doesn't work on C ports?
Any points to consider and to resolve this pesky problem are appreciated! Thanks
I have the same problem as described in previous question when installing the same WiFi adapter. I have followed the instructions exactly, but the driver installation fails.

I realize this question may seem trivial, but following my recent experience, I believe it holds relevance for me and potentially for the community as well.
I recently performed a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04 on my workstation and configured a swap partition on a secondary SSD. I configured GRUB with the resume variable in lowercase:
/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash resume=UUID=fcb43bc3-b6b8-4707-8a23-683bf93bd9bf"
and initramfs with the RESUME variable in uppercase, as recommended in various wikis and documentation:
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
RESUME=UUID=fcb43bc3-b6b8-4707-8a23-683bf93bd9bf
This configuration led to intermittent resume from hibernation failures and overall system instability.
[ 6.366929] Hibernate inconsistent memory map detected!
[ 6.366933] PM: hibernation: Image mismatch: architecture specific data
[ 6.367902] PM: Error -1 resuming
[ 6.367906] PM: hibernation: Failed to load image, recovering.
[ 6.368582] PM: hibernation: Basic memory bitmaps freed
[ 6.369124] PM: hibernation: resume failed (-1)
After troubleshooting potential causes and testing various remedies, I decided to systematically review the entire configuration one final time before abandoning hibernation (at least temporarily). Interestingly, as randomly, I discovered that using lowercase in the initramfs configuration
sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
resume=UUID=fcb43bc3-b6b8-4707-8a23-683bf93bd9bf
produced the expected correct update:
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.17.0-14-generic
I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/sdc2
I: (UUID=fcb43bc3-b6b8-4707-8a23-683bf93bd9bf)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.14.0-37-generic
I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/sdc2
I: (UUID=fcb43bc3-b6b8-4707-8a23-683bf93bd9bf)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.
After making this change, the hibernation problems and system instability were resolved.
Notably, the uppercase variant RESUME=UUID=fcb43bc3-b6b8-4707-8a23-683bf93bd9bf generated no indication that the system would attempt to resume from the specified device at initramfs update.
Two questions arise: Has there been a change in initramfs behavior? Has it been aligned with GRUB's parameter format? Is it just a coincidence?
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?

I have 6 VLANS and a WiFi connection. None of the networks interact. They can connect to things on their network and the public Internet. I was trying to use iproute2 source based routing and I guess I am not understanding something. The SSH session connects and its traffic flows correctly but anything try goes out the default network. Any assistance or direction to documents would be appreciated.
Setup: Ubuntu 24.04 IPROUTE2 tables I connect to 192.168.202.245 and I need all traffic my session generates to use 192.168.202.1 as a gateway But you will see from the ping it is using the WiFi network. If I down the WiFi, I can still connect and my session works, but I can not send any other traffic out.

I even used Claude Code to help create an optimized version of Chrome. I've installed drivers, flipped many chrome://flags, and turned off an on hardware acceleration.
During a brief period of trying Firefox, I experienced the same thing.
Restarting daily just cannot be life with Ubuntu! Can someone help me out here?
I'm running Wireguard to manage my VPN. I need to be able to use a VPN to access our staging server periodically. Most of the time, by default, I don't want to use the VPN.
Even if I disable the VPN (by toggling the button in the "Network" box), if my machine goes to sleep, when I wake it the VPN is re-enabled.
Is there any way to store the settings, so they're there when I want to turn on my VPN, but not default to keeping the VPN always on.
I don't see any settings options that look like they would let you manage auto connecting.
What seemed like it worked was to check the "Use this connection only for routes on its network." box in the IPv6 settings (that toggled it for IPv4 as well).
That stopped working after a few days.
I've tried a few different adapters to get display output from my USB-C port. None of them have worked on Ubuntu. This is what I get (or similar) from lsusb for every USB-C to HDMI adapter that I bought:
Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0bda:2172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. BillBoard Device
From what I can gather 'Billboard' just means that switching to alternate mode failed because of some issue.
In monitor settings, I only see the built-in monitor. Similarly, I installed ARandR and no other outputs appear.
I have tried a few adapters. The one I'm trying currently is 'plugable USB-C to HDMI adapter'. It is stated to support Linux and any USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
I have the ASUS C523N. It is stated to support driving a display from usb-c, but nothing more specific: spec sheet.
This is a Chromebook. When I boot into Chrome OS, the display works through the same USB-C port.

The only issue that I can find matching is this: USB-C to HDMI not working on Dell XPS 13 9370
The solution there was just to try another adapter. I'm on my third purchase and I can't always get returns. This one explicitly says it supports Linux. I will try to contact their support and report back here. I really can't keep buying cables and hoping that it works. I'm looking to at least get a handle on what the problem is here.
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 and since a week the fan of my laptop spins constantly. There are also major performance dropouts where the system seems to halt for a few seconds.
Now I had the time to take a closer look at it and noticed, that /sbin/init splash is constantly eating around 25% CPU time. I have an encrypted partition, is that to blame?
I am trying to figure out how to get Ubuntu 18.04.2 to support OpenGL 4.x on my Dell Latitude 7300 laptop with Intel UHD 620 graphics.
From this post:
How to upgrade Intel Graphics driver?
I gleaned that I need to upgrade my Intel drivers, and the best way to do this was to add a new repository with up-to-date Intel drivers like so:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
However, when I added that repository and did:
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel
The output suggested I needed additional dependencies:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

This screwed up my system, since it UNINSTALLED drivers for my trackpad and other critical pieces. I managed to get the critical pieces re-installed, but I am left wondering, what is the correct procedure to get Intel drivers that support OpenGL 4.x installed?

How can i set intel idle max cstate to 1 and how can i check when it will done. i have a freeze problem because of bay trail cores.
i tried kernel 4.5 4.1.12 4.4 but freeze problem still continue. at the moment 4.4 is my kernel version.
I have read the answer/comments for the thread Diffrence between /etc/init.d/ssh start and service ssh start.
But I need this /etc/init.d method to be working. I have some auto-generated scripts which invoke /etc/init.d method only. Could you kindly provide me some fix/workaround for this?
This is a problem I recently encountered when I was trying to upload a model to Sketchfab. It shown that WebGL in not supported. I opened chrome://flags and enabled override rendering list. However, even doing that didn't resolve much. I was able to see primitive preview of model in sketchfab(but not original) and 3D settings still weren't aviable. So here are some screenshots.

I've been looking around for hours to find a driver or a solution to get my wifi working on my new laptop (Acer Aspire V 17 nitro).
But without success.
I have a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 Installed,
This is the result i get from lspci -vnn | grep Network
Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [168c:003e] (rev 20)
I have been googling for hours, is there no solution ?
Will I have to get a usb wifi adaptor and get a wifi connection like that ?
I have an Ubuntu 14.04 droplet with PubkeyAuthentication set to yes and PermitRootLogin set to no. Since I created it, my pubkey has worked fine. For some unknown reason today it's not accepting my pubkey.
So I login via the droplet console to see what's going on (which worked fine with my root password).
I re-generated my pubkey first in hopes that I could just ssh-copy-id up to the server but I kept just getting permission denied (publickey).
When that didn't work I set /etc/ssh/sshd_config values PubkeyAuthentication set to no and PermitRootLogin to yes so I can get a prompt again on my client MacbookPro.
[Partial] Output of ssh jeitnier@[ip] -v:
debug1: Authentications that can continue:
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering RSA public key: /Users/jeitnier/.ssh/jeitnier_aws
debug1: Authentications that can continue:
debug1: Trying private key: /Users/jeitnier/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Trying private key: /Users/jeitnier/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive
debug1: Authentications that can continue:
debug1: Next authentication method: password
jeitnier@[ip]'s password:
So I enter the exact same password that I did to enter the console and I get Permission denied, please try again.
I've checked that I'm not locked out with grep ^jeitnier /etc/shadow.
I've never run into this before. What can I try next?

I installed apache server (this story). I cannot connect with remote (I tried local too) mysql server. After a long loading page I get error MySQL database connect failure. Mysql server is far from me. On same page which locate in Internet with same settings is good work. How to solve this?
When I typed in terminal:
mysql -u username -h x.xx.xx.x -p
After a minute I get:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xxxxxxxxx' (110)
I cannot visit localhost/phpadmin/, because I get 403 error. I doubt the correctness of the phpadmin settings...
I know, I just can hit Super+A to see all installed apps in Ubuntu, but I need a command to list their names. The command
dpkg --get-selections | awk '{print $1}'
is also not an option because it shows all installed packages and it contains drivers, kernels and libraries.
I have a home network, based around a BT Homehub 3.
My understanding is that whilst the BT Homehub 3 is essentially a Linux machine, it uses Windows (SMB) networking.
I also have an HTPC based on OpenELEC on the network, and a Sony Vaio on which I use Ubuntu (dual boot with Windows 7).
Attached to the BT homehub 3 (via USB) is a 2TB NTFS media storage drive.
The HTPC can see and connect to this just fine, at smb://BTHUB3/USB1, and can stream media from it, as intended.
However I wish to also connect my Ubuntu laptop and the homehub mounted drive. This is proving to be a real pain.
I have tried the following:
In the browser (Chromium) navigate to file://192.168.1.254/ (that is the correct IP for the BThomehub, but I get the file list for my laptop.
In nautilus - click through HOME group - freezes and fails to access "unable to access location".
In terminal: nautilus smb://bthub3/usb1 - nothing happens.
Note that the default workgroup for Ubuntu is WORKGROUP, but I changed this to HOME. I have tried all the above using both variations.
As the title suggests, I need a live distro that has GParted included to work on some hard drive partitions.
For some reason, I've got some graphical issues sometimes. Mostly with AbiWord, LibreOffice (and OpenOffice.org), and Wine applications. I've added some screenshots below to clarify a bit. This is not a problem that recently popped up. As a matter of fact, I've always had it since Ubuntu 8.10, and there was never an update to fix it.
I'm currently using Linux Mint 10 (based upon Ubuntu 10.10), but as I already said, that doesn't really say much as I've also had this problem with Linux Mint 8, Ubuntu 8.10, Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04.
It was never a big problem, as I rarely used any text processing programs, but recently, I'm starting to use them more and more, and it's really annoying being unable to work because of this problem. When I first open an application, everything looks normal, then after a while (when I highlight, click, an item) they'll suddenly screw up. This also happens when I move or resize the window. Sometimes when this happens, I can just minimize the window, and when I restore it, sometimes it will be gone (for a few seconds at least) or it will have changed positions.
I'm using the nvidia-current graphics card driver, but I have also always had this problem on my old computer, which used, I think nvidia-96.
