Cusror lagging but fixed after suspending (24.04.4 LTS) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567413/cusror-lagging-but-fixed-after-suspending-24-04-4-lts

After a recent update, the cursor started to lag significantly. I discovered that it can somehow be fixed by suspending the device.

I'm using Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ACH6 with 24.04.4 LTS.

I was wondering if anybody is experiencing the same or the bug fix will be released soon?

Unable to install custom kernel https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567409/unable-to-install-custom-kernel

I was following this guide from canonical https://documentation.ubuntu.com/kernel/how-to/develop-customise/build-kernel/

Failure upgrading to 26.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567406/failure-upgrading-to-26-04

I tried to upgrade from 25.10 to 26.04 several times, but the process was aborted nearing the end when almost all the files had downloaded. I am a digital "dummy". I do not understand why and do not know how to repair whatever is wrong. Images are attached of my system details and the download failure message.

Need help pairing my wireless earphones with my PC https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567404/need-help-pairing-my-wireless-earphones-with-my-pc

I recently moved from Windows to Linux. I used to use Ubuntu before during the COVID lockdowns and liked it, so here I am. I bought a pair of extremely cheap but very good quality earbud, and they easily pair with my smartphone and have extremely good audio.

I wanted to pair them with my PC (at that time it used to have Windows), but was unable to even after buying a Bluetooth modem. The Bluetooth modem is also very cheap. The dongle has no issues pairing with my phone which can pair with my airpods just fine.

I tried the " ControllerMode = bredr " fix, that didn't work for me either. Can someone please help? I am struggling to understand how Bluetooth isn't able pair with my wireless earphones.

If anyone wants any additional information, it says connected but then disconnects. While it shows "connected via bluetooth" it doesn't appear on the sound tab. Basically it's the test dummy sound that's the only option for output.

When I was using Windows it used to say "device did not respond" blah blah blah when I tried pairing. It used to say another thing, but I've forgotten as I've been trying to pair it for 6 hours straight.

Error: trying to start over with LAMP stack https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567401/error-trying-to-start-over-with-lamp-stack

I tried to install the LAMP stack and everything went OK until I tried to install phpmyadmin. My package management just broke with some dbconfig-common and dbconfig-mysql. I tried purge phpmyadmin, configure dpkg, autoremove, autoclean, install dbconfig before, install phpmyadmin without it, everything that I saw on internet, and anything work out. My last chance was trying to remove the entire LAMP stack and start over, but even then the same error occurs:

Errors were encountered while processing:
dbconfig-common  
dbconfig-mysql  
phpmyadmin  
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I really don't know what to do anymore. This error loop is driving me crazy.

Ubuntu 24.04.3 started booting to blank screen. How can I get a command line? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567400/ubuntu-24-04-3-started-booting-to-blank-screen-how-can-i-get-a-command-line

I've been using Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS on a Lenovo Thinkpad P16 with an Nvidia RTX3500 GPU. I'd been using the Kubuntu desktop with no issues.

I ran a lengthy maybe CPU-intensive process and came back to a black screen. I tried rebooting and powering off, to no avail.

I'm pretty sure NVidia is involved. The last thing I was able to "successfully" do was reinstall my NVidia driver. But no boot after that.

I can get into the BIOS config but find nothing useful there. I would like some way to get to a command line where I can fix something but none of the suggestions like Ctrl-Alt-F3 do anything.

UPDATE: I was asked if other questions were similar to mine. THEY ARE NOT.

My situation is different from these: it is a pure black screen boot. It is not a graphics issue. I my current situation, no input is possible. However, I know the system is running because I can achieve a reboot with the Alt-PrtSc-REISUB key combination.

What I am looking for is a way to force a command line from which I can purge the nvidia driver from the system to see if I can get a boot.

I have gotten this far:

I have managed to boot from a USB disk, mount the existing hard drive where I could change a file that would allow this to happen. Some webpages mention a chance to intervene in a GRUB menu. But I have no GRUB menu since it goes straight to boot without giving me a chance to intervene. And I don't know how to modify the grub configuration so that it will allow this.

Grub may not be the only way to force a command line. I am open to any others.

Ubuntu 26.04 - After copying a file, nautilus selects all files in the folder https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567399/ubuntu-26-04-after-copying-a-file-nautilus-selects-all-files-in-the-folder

Does anyone know why nautilus selects all files in the folder after you copy a file into the folder? Is there a way to avoid that?

"Focus on hover" works well on X.Org, but not Wayland https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567397/focus-on-hover-works-well-on-x-org-but-not-wayland

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS. For the mouse I prefer "Focus on hover", especially when the desktop itself does NOT steal the focus when the cursor goes there. This has always worked for me since my session type is "Ubuntu on X.org". With session type "Ubuntu" the desktop steals the focus, apparently because it uses the Wayland display manager.

With the next LTS release of Ubuntu, X.org will disappear, and so will my preferred mouse behaviour.

I have seen this question asked before, and the solution has been to switch to X.org. But that won't be an option soon, so this should be fixed.

Do anyone know a fix for this? I don't know how to file a bug report, so I rely on the community to assist me with this. Thanks :)

Incoming ARPs and ICMPs are ignored https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567393/incoming-arps-and-icmps-are-ignored

Two servers, each has a lacp bond into a Procurve switch. Each server has a "bond1" with two interfaces. IP addresses are statically assigned on both bond1 interfaces.

LACP and bond health looks perfectly fine on both sides (checked on ubuntu side and procurve side).

One server tries to ping the other, and the initial ARP is sent out. It is received by the other side but there's NO response. I tried hard-coding a static arp on the sending side, and unsurprisingly, the ICMP Echo Request is received and also not responded to.

Why would a host ghost incoming traffic?

I've checked all of the following:

sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter

sysctl net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter

ip -br addr show

ip link show dev bond1

and even turned off iptables.

No changes.

FWIW, I doubt it's the bond and I doubt it's the switch. The switch DID forward everything it received.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

HP x2 detachable laptop method for handling tablet mode https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567392/hp-x2-detachable-laptop-method-for-handling-tablet-mode

I have a HP x2 10-p011nr detachable laptop that I recently revived by installing Xubuntu 26.04. The laptop has 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage so Xubuntu seemed to be a good choice for it. I've got all of the hardware up and running with the exception of tablet mode. I can run screen-orientation-manager for manually rotating the screen and onboard for an on screen keyboard (still working on setting that up correctly).

My issue is that I would like to be able to detect when the laptop is in tablet mode and run both of those applications or kill/suspend both apps when the keyboard/touchpad is connected. I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. I've searched around and found some promising info about a libinput script, but I also found some info that leads me to believe a udev rule might be the correct method. Can someone give me some guidance?

If this issue already has solutions that would be great, but just pointing me to where I can learn more about solving it myself would be great too.

On a side note, may there be a different ubuntu distro that would be just be as lightweight and solve this problem out of the box?

To clarify my question, I'm looking for guidance about whether the "correct" or best way to do this would be monitoring libinput, which I've already found a solution for, or using a udev rule.

All the packages listed here are installed in the python venv. I didn't think the venv i created in pycharms was externally managed, the instructions i found online for how to set one up are what I did to create this environment. Could someone please help me understand what has gone wrong.

I'm missing 400GB of storage? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567386/im-missing-400gb-of-storage

I'm a bit of a noob to Ubuntu. I'm turning my old laptop into a media server with Ubuntu Server, and while transferring some files over with sftp i got an error code Failure, which means its got no idea why.

Am I being stupid and is my problem not actually storage space, or did I screw something up setting this server up?

Also to make myself clear, I'm not looking for a solution for file transferring, only if my storage is actually full or if it is hiding and I have a different problem. Edit: Outputs you guys requested

Error updating grub-efi-amd64-signed and linux image files https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567372/error-updating-grub-efi-amd64-signed-and-linux-image-files

I run Kubuntu and while updating Ubuntu (some Kubuntu updates require updating the Ubuntu elements via its own software) to 26.04 LTS Racoon sometime ago it said it couldn't update grub-efi[...] then quit the installation while having installed 100% of the update except that one part. I restarted the machine and it was updated like normal. It's running fine as of late (except one easily fixed initram problem) but every time I update anything it says grub-efi and some other files can't be updated.

This is the output while trying to update "grub-efi-amd64-signed", "linux-headers-7.0.0-22-generic", "linux-headers-generic", "linux-generic" and "linux-image-7.0.0-22-generic":

Edit: as requested, I have uninstalled the AMDGPU video drivers that I had manually installed months ago. The system seems to be working fine and now a good chunk of the update problems are gone, and only the "grub-efi-amd64-signed" package can't be updated.

This is the error it gives:

Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 fail to boot with RTX 5050 — black screen issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566815/ubuntu-24-04-and-26-04-fail-to-boot-with-rtx-5050-black-screen-issue

I am unable to run Ubuntu properly with my NVIDIA RTX 5050 GPU. Both Ubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu 26.04 result in a black screen when the NVIDIA driver is enabled. The system only works using nomodeset, but then GPU acceleration is unavailable and resolution is limited (around 720p).

I can only install and boot the system using GRUB modification (nomodeset), but enabling NVIDIA drivers causes a black screen after boot.

I have tested multiple NVIDIA driver versions (570, 580, 595), but all result in the same issue.


System information

  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5050

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500

  • RAM: 8GB DDR4 3200MHz

  • Storage: 256GB NVMe SSD

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M-K


Steps already tried

1. Boot with nomodeset (only working method)

At GRUB:

  • Press e

  • Add:

nomodeset

Then boot with Ctrl + X


2. Install NVIDIA drivers

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-580

Also tested:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-570
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-595

3. Remove broken NVIDIA installation (via chroot / recovery)

sudo apt purge '^nvidia'
sudo apt autoremove --purge
sudo rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo rm -f /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia*
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub

4. Update kernel / system packages

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-24.04

Current result

  • System boots only with nomodeset

  • Without nomodeset, black screen occurs immediately after GRUB

  • NVIDIA drivers install successfully but break display on reboot

  • No GPU acceleration is working

Looking for a stable solution to run RTX 5050 properly on Ubuntu (kernel/driver configuration fix or compatibility workaround).

Ubuntu Cinnamon 26.04 live USB fails to boot on Dell Optiplex 7050 Micro https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565990/ubuntu-cinnamon-26-04-live-usb-fails-to-boot-on-dell-optiplex-7050-micro

I am unable to boot the Live USB of Ubuntu Cinnamon 26.04 on a Dell Optiplex 7050 Micro (Intel HD 630). The boot process hangs indefinitely after "Get:6 file:/cdrom resolute/universe...".

I have tried the following without success:

  • Both UEFI (GPT) and Legacy (MBR) boot modes.

  • Multiple USB sticks and flashing tools (Rufus, BalenaEtcher, Ventoy).

  • Boot parameters: nomodeset, copytoram, pci=nommconf, usbcore.autosuspend=-1.

  • Disabling Secure Boot, VT-d, and TPM in BIOS.

Older distros like Peppermint 10 boot perfectly on this exact hardware. There seems to be a major regression in the 26.04 kernel or dracut initialization for this chipset.

This is a major disappointment. I prepared this machine with a brand new M2-disk, and have waited months for the 26:04 to be released. The machine now goes back om the shelf while I wait for a fix. The plan is to test this distro on this machine in hope of that Ubuntu Cinnamon can take over all the machines here running Peppermint 10 Respin (with Ubuntu Pro) - until 2028 max. I can wait longer, but if this isn't fixed by the autumn, I will be very angry and inclined to look somewhere else.

I'm deeply disappointed and utterly broken after hours of trying and failing.

"kvm_amd CPU x isn't AMD or Hygon" at boot https://askubuntu.com/questions/1564432/kvm-amd-cpu-x-isnt-amd-or-hygon-at-boot

kvm_amd CPU x isn't AMD or Hygon?

This text appear early in the boot sequence.

Now this is not really causing any trouble, RIGHT NOW.
But I consider all similar messages to be a potential hazard to the stability of my machine.
Therefore I quite fiercely hunt them down, and "swat them out".
The more of these unwanted messages you have the greater potential for strange interference and malfunction.

These are apparently about virtualbox:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/798132/why-and-how-were-kvm-modules-unexpectedly-enabled-in-ubuntu-24-04
KVM not supported shown in terminal while it is enabled

... but I have this on intel-based hardware,
an oldish i7-9750H-based Asus G731 laptop, with embedded GTX 1660 Ti.
NOTE: 6 cores+HT, so message does not appear for ALL cores(!?)
Virtualbox 7.2(?) IS installed though, but quite seldom used.

I have:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= ... kvm.enable_virt_at_load=0
in /etc/default/grub

No go.


Another attempt to fix it:
$ sudo -i
# cat >/etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf
blacklist kvm
blacklist kvm-amd
blacklist kvm-intel

CTRl+D

# update-initramfs -u -k all
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.17.0-14-generic
...
# 

CTRl+D again

Reboot... I still get a black screen with these boot messages:

[    6.359851]
[   10.531179] kvm_amd: CPU 4 isn't AMD or Hygon
[   11.104935] kvm_amd: CPU 6 isn't AMD or Hygon
[   11.193682] kvm_amd: CPU 9 isn't AMD or Hygon
_

Still there:

[    6.479793]
[   10.253887] kvm_amd: CPU 9 isn't AMD or Hygon
[   10.901341] kvm_amd: CPU 3 isn't AMD or Hygon
[   10.987984] kvm_amd: CPU 5 isn't AMD or Hygon
_

Those CPU numbers appears to be somewhat random, another run: 0, 8 and 0 (yes, zero repeated) at around 10 seconds.

There has been some apt updates so now with:

$ uname -rv
6.17.0-29-generic #29~24.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 11 10:30:58 UTC 2

Does anyone have any more ideas on how to actually get rid of this?

How do I report a bug when launchpad does not work? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1440982/how-do-i-report-a-bug-when-launchpad-does-not-work

I found a bug in engrampa. When I tried to report it I got to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/engrampa/+filebug/d65ee956-654a-11ed-99a1-40a8f0305cb4.

After an hour, the bug data was still not processed.

I tried a second time. Same results.

This is what happens when children try to code.

P.S. The engrampa bug is that when I try to open a .txt file, it checks to see if a Pluma window is open. If one is, it closes all open tabs, then opens a tab with the specified files. The correct behavior is not to close and tabs.

Barrier does not work for Linux to Windows connection https://askubuntu.com/questions/1409533/barrier-does-not-work-for-linux-to-windows-connection

I have been trying for a while to connect my mouse and keyboard using barrier between Ubuntu and Windows.

  1. I tried different way to connect. for example changing port, disable enabling SSL, putting same device name and so on, but nothing is working.
  2. I tried Windows as a server and also tried Ubuntu as a server, but could not connect.

In server's log it shows: "waiting for clients" \n "server status : active" In client's log it shows:

[2022-05-20T00:51:46] WARNING: failed to connect to server: Timed out
[2022-05-20T00:51:47] NOTE: connecting to '192.168.0.37': 192.168.0.37:24801

[2022-05-20T00:52:02] WARNING: failed to connect to server: Timed out

My question is am I only one who is facing this issue? or It is not possible for Ubuntu and Windows to connect using Barrier. If so, what free software or way (hardware) do you recommend me to solve this issue?

Can't remove vysor language updates from `apt-get update` https://askubuntu.com/questions/1362342/cant-remove-vysor-language-updates-from-apt-get-update

I/O error : Permission Denied(qbittorrent) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1047314/i-o-error-permission-deniedqbittorrent

I am downloading the files in /media. I do have the permission to folders and files, but for each torrent it is giving me this error. Also, I disabled the hiberfile system of Windows so that I can delete or create folders in /media, which changed the Owner of files and folders in /media to root. I then proceeded to edit the /etc/fstab to get the permissions back. After all this, the error is still there. I don't know how to proceed from here.

How to wget cronjob to save a webpage periodically https://askubuntu.com/questions/902644/how-to-wget-cronjob-to-save-a-webpage-periodically

I have a Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS cloud server online 24/7. There are many cronjobs running on this server. There is a news website that I want to save a timestamped version of the cover page of every 20 minutes. I have created a wget statement that runs perfectly from the command line.

wget --convert-links --output-document=/home/username/News-Headlines-$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S).html news.tld

*/20 * * * * /usr/bin/wget --convert-links --output-document=/home/username/News-Headlines-$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S).html news.tld

When this statement is run from the root cronjob, the file is not created and no error is produced in /var/log/syslog

How can this wget root cronjob statement be made to work?

Followup:

An error began being mailed by cron:

/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")

The root crontab file does have a blank line at the end. To what is this error message referring?
