Microsoft UEFI CA rotation: is it safe to update from 2011 to 2023? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568114/microsoft-uefi-ca-rotation-is-it-safe-to-update-from-2011-to-2023

Recently my system (24.04) suggests the update Microsoft’s 2011 UEFI and KEK CAs are set to expire in June 2026 and are being replaced by 2023 CAs. This is also discussed at this link.

Is it safe to update or should I ignore it?

Why won't it the desktop version download to a USB? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568113/why-wont-it-the-desktop-version-download-to-a-usb

Ok, this is seriously impossible. I first tried to download the desktop version onto a 32GB USB stick, but it ran out of space after downloading about 4GB (4,194,268KB, to be exact). This is a brand new stick. Yes, I know that some space is used to help access the rest, but I am SURE 28.8GB is enough space to download 6.1GB. But just to be sure, I decided to try to download it onto a 128GB USB stick. Same problem. The download stopped because it is "out of storage space" after just 4GB. The download works fine when downloading on to my laptop, and only takes up ~6.8GB on my harddrive. What is preventing it from downloading onto my USB sticks? I can guarantee it isn't running out of space.

What's really weird, is that it's just the Desktop version. I've successfully downloaded Ubuntu Server onto the exact same brand 32GB USB stick.

Fix middle mouse button behaviour with Microsoft Intellimouse Pro https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568111/fix-middle-mouse-button-behaviour-with-microsoft-intellimouse-pro

I just swapped out my Microsoft intellimouse Classic with a Microsoft Intellimouse pro because of an issue with tracking on any surface that isn't white. I'm glad to say that tracking is now working. However, my middle-click to paste behaviour is no longer working, and when I middle click, it now brings up the workspace switcher in KDE. I'm running stock Ubuntu 22.04, but then installed the KDE desktop on top. If I plug in my old mouse, the middle mouse button works as expected.

When I googled for an answer, the Google AI told me to remap the buttons using something like:

xinput set-button-map "Microsoft Microsoft Pro Intellimouse Mouse" 1 9 3 4 5 6 7 8 2

However, I tried swapping 2 with every other number in the list, and nothing worked.

I then ran the following command to get a terminal to tell me which mouse button is down:

watch -n 1 xinput --query-state 11

which gives me output like below:

enter image description here

When i hold down on the left and right buttons I see that button 1 and 3 show as down respectively. However, holding down on the middle mouse button does not show any change, but does bring up a panel that appears on the left hand side, with an image of my desktop at the top that says "Default" as shown below:

enter image description here

I must confess that I don't actually know what this is.

Any help on how to get my middle mouse button working how it should be, with the default copy/paste behaviour that Linux has would be much appreciated. This is such an odd issue to have.

Convert Password authentication to SSH key authentication https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568106/convert-password-authentication-to-ssh-key-authentication

I have an SFTP server running on Unbuntu 26.04. I originally built it using password authentication for the individual users. I had all the users in a group that had access to the SFTP directory only, and a few users that also had sudo access. This was working great until it was decided to convert to key authentication instead of password. I generated private keys for the users and put the public keys on the server. I have not disabled the passwords yet. This seems to be working for SFTP but when I try to login through PuTTY from my remote machine (running on Windows 11) it returns an error that states the server allows sftp access only and won't even give me access to my own account. How do it make it so users that have sudo permissions can have full access?

Can't change volume after upgrading from 24.04.4 to 26.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568096/cant-change-volume-after-upgrading-from-24-04-4-to-26-04

I upgraded from Ubuntu 24.04.4 to 26.04. It seems all is working fine except for one thing. I can't change volume with the volume keys.

Volume is always at maximum. I can use the mute key. Volume up and down show a notification when I click them, but it doesn't change the volume. The only way I have to change volume is to use Settings -> Sound -> Volume levels.

I am using a Lenovo Legion R9000P ADR10 laptop. The internal speakers produce a very flat, quiet, and tinny sound with absolutely no bass. It feels like the subwoofers/woofers are completely disabled, and only the tweeters are functioning. Audio works perfectly fine under Windows, confirming it is a Linux driver/kernel configuration issue (missing pin quirk for this specific model).

System specifications:

  • Laptop model: Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i 15IMH05

  • OS: Ubuntu 26.04

  • Kernel version: Linux 7.0.0-27-generic

Ubuntu Desktop 26.04 wakes up right after suspending https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568091/ubuntu-desktop-26-04-wakes-up-right-after-suspending

Do `quilt` has any interpretation of patch names? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568089/do-quilt-has-any-interpretation-of-patch-names

In https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/ch05.en.html#dquilt-ap which is from “Guide for Debian Maintainers” there is this sample:

dquilt new 000-prefix-usr.patch

In https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/modify.en.html#fixupstream which is from “Debian New Maintainers’ Guide” (older than the one above), there is this sample:

dquilt new fix-gentoo-target.patch

Looking at the first, I supposed the digits at the start of the patch name, have some meaning for the system. But the second example does not use it.

Is it interpreted in any way by quilt or is it a convention some body have for their own purpose and some others don’t?

Side note for people who read this: dquilt is an alias of quilt, it’s not an installed command, as explained in the second link (it's easy to overlook it) and also explained here: What is dquilt and how do I get it?

Laptop Monitor Not Working https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568084/laptop-monitor-not-working

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a strange display issue on my Ubuntu laptop that recently started happening on two different machines (including one at my office).

The Symptom:

  • Out of nowhere, the built-in laptop monitor completely goes dark.

  • Immediately after the monitor dies, the OS acts as if the system should go to sleep and suspends the machine.

  • If I wake it back up and plug in an external monitor, the external monitor works perfectly fine as the primary display, but the OS behaves as if the built-in monitor doesn't exist at all.

  • The issue is intermittent. A few minutes ago, it suddenly went back to normal and the built-in display worked again, only to die completely a few minutes later.

  • The display setting shows only one monitor (the external monitor) when the built-in monitor is not working.

  • Note: The BIOS still successfully recognizes the built-in monitor even when Ubuntu cannot see it.

Because this is happening on two separate physical machines, I suspect a recent software, kernel, or power management update might be causing a conflict or triggering a false "lid closed" event.

System Details:

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04

  • Kernel: 6.17.0-35-generic

  • Session Type: wayland

Has anyone else run into this recently? What logs should I look into next to isolate whether this is a systemd-logind lid-switch bug or a graphics driver issue?

(Ubuntu 24.04.4 Desktop [Wayland]/Gnome 46.0/Linux 6.17.0) How do I rotate login screen portrait left? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568079/ubuntu-24-04-4-desktop-wayland-gnome-46-0-linux-6-17-0-how-do-i-rotate-login

I have two monitors which I have turned physically in portrait position. One turned left and other turned right. 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.

However gdm displays proper login screen when returning from suspend. This is of course logical since it is not providing multi-user login. Lock screen works as well.

I had my doubts for the monitors.xml solution, since there were no existing monitors.xml file in /var/lib/gdm3/.config/ directory. I even looked into gdm source code and there is no references to monitors.xml at all. So how should restarting could change login screen position according to monitors.xml. What a stupid idea.

This is a displaymanager problem which is run by gdm, not a desktop manager problem which has user configuration in ~/.config/monitors.xml. Copying that file into /var/lib/gdm3/.config/ is braindead solution, I bet it has never worked.

So what now? I guess I have to accept that login screen in gdm-land is carved into stone as landscape position , just like BIOS does. It is idiotic and stupid, but hey what can I do...

Installed Ubuntu in a old laptop, now it won't boot without the bootable USB stick plugged in https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568071/installed-ubuntu-in-a-old-laptop-now-it-wont-boot-without-the-bootable-usb-sti

UPDATE: Eventually the PC stopped booting even with the USB stick, so I decided to try with a booteable USB with w10. It worked, so I debloated w10 and decided to install Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu alognside w10 but I ran into the same problem. I booted with the w10 booteable stick and ran the repair option, which somehow made it so the pc booted directly into Linux Mint with no menu to select OS. That was easily fixed by forcing the menu to appear from the system's options. I really dont fully understand what happened or why my PC broke everytime I tried to install a Linux distro, but it's now working and my mother is using it for work so it's a happy ending. Thank you all for your help and sorry for waisting your time.

First of all, these are the laptop's specs:

   Model: SAMSUNG LTD. 300E4A/300E5A/300E7A
   Memory: 4 GiB
   Processor: Intel Core i5-2450M x 4
   Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 (SNB GT2)
   Disk: 1 TB HDD

It's old (10+ years) and I wanted to give it a new life just for lightwork. I checked and it is not under the supported hardware for ubuntu, but used the Try Ubuntu feature and it works, so I assume that even if it hasn't been tested to be in the supported devices tab it should work just fine.

The problem:

After the install process I rebooted and the PC asked to remove the bootable device and press enter, so I removed the USB flash drive I used and press enter. Now, when I try to boot the PC, it just gets stuck in a loop, trying to boot up. I can't get into the grub menu by holding down the Shift key. The only thing I can do is boot into BIOS in the Boot settings. I only have the option to change the Boot Priority Order. Another device appear on the list besides the HDD. I already tried changing the priorities, but nothing changes.

enter image description here

If I boot up with the bootable USB connected the grub menu appears without any input from me, and only two options are available: "Try or Install Ubuntu", and "Ubuntu (safe graphics)". The first time I clicked on the first option and just reinstalled the OS but the problem didn't go away. I can close the install window if I boot like that again and use Ubuntu as the Try Ubuntu feature, but nothing more.

I already tried different things I found online in forums, but I don't have the exact same issues or menus/options.
For example,I tried the solution in this forum, but I don't have the add customized boot option in my BIOS.
I also tried this one, but I don't have the Advanced options for Ubuntu on my GRUB menu.

The other thing that I tried was Boot-Repair twice. The first time it have back this link: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bpsF9b8Nqh/, and said to share it if the problem persists (which it does), and it also gave me this warning.

this warning

The second time I tried using Boot-Repair I got this error message: Glade2script-python3 Is Not Responding.

I screen recorded what happens when I turn on the PC with and without the USB:

Video 1: Booting without bootable USB and getting into BIOS
Video 2: Booting with bootable USB

I'm afraid I've gotten myself into something that's way above my understanding (I never used Linux before).

Ubuntu 26.04 Random reboots on my laptop https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568004/ubuntu-26-04-random-reboots-on-my-laptop

For a couple weeks now, I've been experiencing random reboots on my laptop.

They happen once or twice a day or not at all, either while in use (black screen), from suspend, or at boot (-> GRUB-menu). All I do at the laptop is write texts and ocassionally game.

From my logs, these "Previous system reset reason" messages jump out at me:

  • internal CPU shutdown event occured - Coincides with reboot times, except at boot.
  • software wrote 0x6 to reset control register 0xCF9 - Too many, but a few coincide with at boot.
  • ACPI power state transition occurred - Rare, possibly unrelated.

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 26.04, I've had Linux kernel panics at boot once in a blue moon. Could this be relevant?

The only software I've installed within these last few weeks are VSCodium and .NET SDK.

For VSCodium:

  1. snap install codium --classic
  2. "Getting all telemetry out"
  3. Installed muhammadsammy's C# plugin through VSCodium
  4. Installed .NET SDK (see later)
  5. Uninstall everything (wasn't happy)
    • Including sudo rm /usr/local/bin/dotnet (again, see later)

For .NET SDK:

  1. sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --classic (or dotnet-sdk-100 when installing VSCodium)
  2. sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/dotnet (for dot-net-100)
  3. Added to ~.profile:
    • export DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=true
    • export DOTNET_ROOT=/snap/dotnet-sdk/current

What I've tried:

  • Disabling Fast Boot, makes no difference?
  • Running MyAsus System Diagnostics, all OK
  • Keeping tabs on systemctl timers, not correlated

What I haven't tried:

  • Running memtest
  • Fresh reinstall
  • Changing other BIOS/UEFI settings

Update 1: BIOS update

As suggested by ChanganAuto, I updated the BIOS. As it turns out, I was on version 306 (2023/07/25). I followed the instructions from both "BIOS Update" and my laptop vendor's:

  1. Back up my stuff plus /boot/efi/EFI
  2. Download the latest BIOS for my device (BIOS for ASUS EZ Flash Utility Version 318)
  3. Unzip the file, then move its content to /boot/efi/EFI
  4. Use ASUS Firmware Update from ASUS in UEFI on the file

Will update if the issue still persists.

Update 2: It Gets Worse

The problem is still present, perhaps worse. I had 3 reboots this morning. Oddly enough, I had none yesterday. See today's boot logs: 08:33, 08:56, 09:55, 10:28.

Hibernation not working in HP 15 gr0012au https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567876/hibernation-not-working-in-hp-15-gr0012au

I am having a HP laptop with AMD ryzen 3 3250u processor and I installed ubuntu 26 LTS and I tried to add a hibernation device in the laptop using a swap file but what I am experiencing is that when I run the command sudo systemctl hibernate my screen goes blank for sometime and return back to the lockscreen, sometime it work for the first time and subsequent hibernate fails, I am pasting my configuration files

Problem with monitoring by Monit locally created sidekiq systemd service https://askubuntu.com/questions/1552627/problem-with-monitoring-by-monit-locally-created-sidekiq-systemd-service

Well, I have two virtual machines. One with ubuntu 22.04 lts and the other with 24.04 lts. On both, I created a "passenger" user account with the adduser command. Then on the "passenger" I created a sidekiq service in the path /home/passenger/.config/systemd/user/sidekiq.service, here is the code:

[Unit]
Description=Sidekiq
After=network.target
 
[Service]
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/home/passenger/sidekiq-rails
ExecStart=/bin/bash -lc 'bundle exec sidekiq -e production >> log/sidekiq.log'
ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -lc "systemctl --user show --property MainPID sidekiq.service | awk 'BEGIN {FS=\"=\"} {print $2}' > tmp/sidekiq.pid"
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
 
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

--> https://pastebin.com/t7fyH1Qy

Smoothly starts systemctl --user start sidekiq.service. I installed the Monit tool and prepared in the path: /etc/monit/conf.d/sidekiq the following configuration:

check process sidekiq with pidfile /home/passenger/sidekiq-rails/tmp/sidekiq.pid
   start program = "/bin/su - passenger -c 'XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$UID DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/bus systemctl --user start sidekiq.service'"
   stop program = "/bin/su - passenger -c 'XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$UID DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/bus systemctl --user stop sidekiq.service'"
   if memory usage > 1024 MB for 2 cycles then alert
   if does not exist then alert

--> https://pastebin.com/dDxxNPkf

On the other hand, the problem starts when I testfully disable sidekiq by simply typing systemctl --user stop sidekiq. Then on Ubuntu 22.04 Monit using the prepared config fires sidekiq, and on Ubuntu 24.04 there is an error

[2025-06-26T09:59:33+0000] error    : 'sidekiq' failed to start (exit status 1) -- '/bin/su - passenger -c XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$UID DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/bus systemctl --user start sidekiq.service': su: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted

--> https://pastebin.com/qaNZs49C

Of course I have:

ls -l /bin/su

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 55680 Dec 5 2024 /bin/su

loginctl enable-linger passenger executed on both machines

wayland screenshot tool with annotations https://askubuntu.com/questions/1527087/wayland-screenshot-tool-with-annotations

Which tool to use to take screenshots of areas selected by mouse on wayland, and annotate afterwards?

None of tools that I was using works with 24.04

Brother DCP-7030 scanner is not recognized by Ubuntu 22.04 /24.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1524522/brother-dcp-7030-scanner-is-not-recognized-by-ubuntu-22-04-24-04

The scanner in my USB-connected Brother DCP7030 multi-function device stopped working when I upgraded my Lubuntu to 22.04. In an attempt to get it working, I upgraded further to 24.04, but it still refuses to play ball. The printer in the MFD still works fine. I've installed the Brother drivers and fix to run as admin mode from the brother website. https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=gb&lang=en&prod=dcp7030_all&os=128 but it still refuses to be visible to SANE.

HP M110W Printer https://askubuntu.com/questions/1523576/hp-m110w-printer

I just got an HP M110W printer and configured it as per HP Smart and connected it. It prints in Windows, but I use Ubuntu 22.04 (currently) 99.95% of the time. The printer shows in the Settings and, when I try to print a test page, it twitches but nothing prints. I installed hplip and the CUP libraries and can use lpstat, lpq,etc. but lp filename does not work either. I'm desperately hoping someone on this forum can help me print, otherwise I'm going to return the printer. I have run through all the procedures I found on the HP site but their Chat basically told me I'm on my own.

fsck from util-linux 2.37.2 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1419357/fsck-from-util-linux-2-37-2

My computer hung up so I forced it to turn off. When it restarted, I had this error message:

The root filesystem on /dev/sda2 requires a manual fsck.

So then I typed in fsck -f /dev/sda1

Then I got a message:

fsck from util-linux 2.37.2
(initramfs)

I typed in "help" and got a long list of commands.

I have no idea what to do that this point. Please pretend I am your grandmother as I do not understand the Ubuntu jargon.

How to make an xorg.conf file https://askubuntu.com/questions/217758/how-to-make-an-xorg-conf-file

I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 and I need to make a custom xorg.conf file. By default, there is not an xorg.conf file on my system. I know what I need to write in the config, but I just don't know how to make X load it...

Should I put my custom commands in a file that already exists? Where is it? Should I make my own xorg.conf file and put it in /etc/X11?
