NVIDIA graphics issue with refresh rate. in 26.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566019/nvidia-graphics-issue-with-refresh-rate-in-26-04

I did a clean install of Ubuntu 26.04. After all the updates and setting it up, I set the display at 4k but the highest refresh rate available is 29.97hz. In 24.04 I could get 59.97hz. How can I or anyone at connical fix this? I am assuming its a Wayland issue as I was always on Xorg before this. I am using a Asus Rog Strix gaming PC with Geforce 2070 super graphics card. I use HDMI2 cable to my home theater, then to my TV. The install was fast and clean.

Thanks

After update, wired ethernet (WL01) doesn't appear in the network popup https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566017/after-update-wired-ethernet-wl01-doesnt-appear-in-the-network-popup

Running KDE and Ubuntu linux 24.04.4. After last update, netmanager(??), wl01 no longer appears in the window with the WIFI sources. Also, a connection that has worked for two years, (http://ares:10000) webmin, no longer works, connection cannot be found. However, if I use the local connection, 127.0.0.1, it connects to webmin.

Also, some links at websites no longer work. For example, I went to askubuntu.com and clicked on the 'login' button. I got a connection can't be found...however on another ubuntu linux box, all if fine. That how I'm entering this question. The second linux box is running Ubuntu 25.10.

I'm puzzled. It worked yesterday, today it doesn't and the only thing I did was to do the update. Any suggestions how to fix this?

I have a intel wifi adapter that is built into my motherboard and i was able to get wifi back up and running temporarily by just reloading my wifi module but now its not working again after I turned it off and on again the next day and I've tried redownlouding things and reloading wifi module again but nothing is working.the only why I've gotten wifi to my computer is through a wired connection through my phone. it does see the wifi adapter but for some reason i cant get wifi.

Ubuntu Pro does not recognize 26.04 LTS as an LTS version so does not function https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566013/ubuntu-pro-does-not-recognize-26-04-lts-as-an-lts-version-so-does-not-function

The do-release-upgrade upgraded me to 26.04 LTS but the Ubuntu Pro feature now found in Security Center tells me that my Ubuntu Pro is not compatible with my version of Ubuntu because it's not LTS. "lsb_release -a" tells me this is indeed 26.04 LTS.

My attempted solution was to install from downloaded media thinking the "do-release-upgrade" messed something up. Booting to this leaves me with a blank monitor, though booting appears to be successful as I heard the cute little tune when it boots.

Booting to hard disk failed then, leaving me with a blank monitor. Repeating the boot process 3-4 times eventually got the video functioning.

This is not ok. I don't really know what state my machine is in, but I'll leave it for now. I'm hoping things will be fixed in time.

Bug 1: Ubuntu Pro isn't recognizing Ubuntu 26.04 LTS as supported

Bug 2: Ubuntu 26.04 installation media doesn't not support ultra-wide monitors.

Bug 3: The Ubuntu 26.04 installation media changes something in the computer video configuration so booting to the hard drive after a failed flash-drive installation doesn't return the computer to default configuration: the monitor is still blank upon booting to the installed Ubuntu 26.04. Several boots in succession is required to get the monitor functioning again.

Problemas en SDDM https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566009/problemas-en-sddm

I just installed Kubuntu 26.04 LTS with a clean install, but when I create the numlock.conf file in SDDM.conf.d to activate the numeric keypad on my keyboard, it doesn't work. I've already tried renaming it to 30-numlock.conf, adding the line Numlock=on to kde-settings.conf, and other things. Does anyone know how to fix this? (I'm using the WhitSur-Dark theme throughout my Kubuntu system, although I tried reverting to Breeze and Plasma without the numeric keypad activating—I have to press the key on the physical keyboard to activate it. In version 25.10, it worked without problems with numlock.conf.)

GlobalProtect VPN UI Package Fails to Install on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Due to Missing Dependency https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566007/globalprotect-vpn-ui-package-fails-to-install-on-ubuntu-26-04-lts-due-to-missing

I recently installed Ubuntu 26.04 LTS on my laptop and attempted to install the GlobalProtect VPN client.

The backend package installs successfully, but the UI package fails during installation due to a missing dependency.

The same package works correctly on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Installed Packages:

GlobalProtect_deb-6.1.4.0-711.deb GlobalProtect_UI_deb-6.1.4.0-711.deb

Commands Used:

sudo apt install ./GlobalProtect_deb-6.1.4.0-711.deb sudo apt install ./GlobalProtect_UI_deb-6.1.4.0-711.deb

Terminal Output:

Some packages could not be installed.

Unsatisfied dependencies: globalprotect : PreDepends: libqt5webkit5 but it is not installable

Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies.

Observation:

GlobalProtect backend package installs successfully UI package installation fails Dependency libqt5webkit5 appears unavailable in Ubuntu 26.04 repositories Same installer works without issue on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Expected Behavior: GlobalProtect UI package should install successfully or required dependency should be available.

Actual Behavior: Installation fails due to missing dependency.

Request for Support:

Is libqt5webkit5 removed from Ubuntu 26.04 repositories? Is there a replacement package available? Is there a recommended workaround for VPN applications depending on Qt5 WebKit? Has anyone successfully installed GlobalProtect UI on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS?

Additional Information: System Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 6.x VPN Client Version: GlobalProtect 6.1.4-711

Any guidance or workaround would be appreciated.

Failure to upgrade to latest LTS version https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566005/failure-to-upgrade-to-latest-lts-version

My desktop is fitted with the 22.04 LTS version. But I want to upgrade to the latest one. I regularly get automated announcement that a new version is available but when I click on the "upgrade now" nothing happens. I tried through the terminal, again I'm denied and it ask me to install the latest update (which I did through a sudo apt update/upgrade). If I try with the Software updater, I can't even do that as it says my computer is not connected to Internet, which is untrue because I'm writing this message on my desktop.

PXE autoinstall Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 fails at snapd.seeded.service https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566001/pxe-autoinstall-ubuntu-desktop-24-04-fails-at-snapd-seeded-service

Title

PXE autoinstall Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 fails at snapd.seeded.service


Body

I am setting up PXE-based autoinstall for Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.4. The install consistently fails during boot with:

[FAILED] Failed to start snapd.seeded.service - Wait until snapd is fully seeded.

Environment

  • PXE boot using dnsmasq (DHCP + TFTP)
  • Root filesystem via NFS (casper)
  • Autoinstall config served over HTTP (NoCloud datasource)

What works

  • Manual PXE boot + install (Desktop 24.04.4) works
  • Ubuntu Server autoinstall:
    • 22.04 (preseed) → OK
    • 24.04 (cloud-init) → OK

What fails

  • Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.4 autoinstall → fails at snapd.seeded.service

Relevant logs

Apache access log (cloud-init requests succeed)

10.10.67.64 - - [24/Apr/2026:14:10:00 +0100] "GET /auto-install/desktop/user-data HTTP/1.1" 200 1621 "-" "Cloud-Init/25.2"
10.10.67.64 - - [24/Apr/2026:14:10:22 +0100] "GET /auto-install/desktop/meta-data HTTP/1.1" 200 325 "-" "Cloud-Init/25.2"

This confirms the client is successfully retrieving autoinstall data.


dnsmasq (DHCP + PXE)

      name: direct
  updates: security
  shutdown: reboot

Question

Has anyone seen snapd.seeded.service fail specifically with Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 autoinstall over PXE?

I’m trying to determine whether this is related to:

  • NFS-based root (casper)
  • Desktop-specific snap seeding requirements
  • Networking or timing issues during early boot

Any pointers or known issues would be appreciated.

trying to configure samba to work with external usb drive https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565997/trying-to-configure-samba-to-work-with-external-usb-drive

I have a computer (Kubuntu 24.04) on my local network with 3 folders shared through samba. Two of them are on an internal hard drive and the other computers on the network are able to access them with no issues.

However, the 3rd one is on an external usb hard drive and I haven't been able to get the other computers on the network to mount this one. In /etc/fstab I have:

to mount it when the computer starts.

In /etc/samba/smb.conf, I have:

valid users = sambauser, @sambashare

AMD RX 9060 XT not initializing (amdgpu failed with error -22, black screen on GPU boot) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565964/amd-rx-9060-xt-not-initializing-amdgpu-failed-with-error-22-black-screen-on-g

I am new to Linux. I have an RX 9060 XT and encountering a Linux-only issue where the GPU fails to initialize, resulting in a black screen when the monitor is connected to it.

The GPU works normally in Windows, but on Linux it fails during kernel driver initialization.

System information

  • Kernel: 6.17.0-22-generic
  • Mesa: Mesa 26.0.0-devel
  • Distribution: Kubuntu 24.04
  • GPU 1 (dGPU): AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (Navi 44)
  • GPU 2 (iGPU): AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Raphael (integrated)

Problem description

When the monitor is connected to the RX 9060 XT and the system boots:

  • No display output. Not even the installation screen. When installing kubuntu I only see the menu where it says "Try or install kubuntu", after that is just black screen. (After connecting monitor to motherboard I get display so I can proceed to install)
  • It only works when monitor is connected to iGPU
  • GPU is detected in lspci, but driver initialization fails

lspci output

arib@arib-linux:~$ lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "VGA|3D"

git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
cd linux-firmware
sudo cp -r amdgpu/* /lib/firmware/amdgpu/
sudo update-initramfs -u
  • Updated system packages (apt upgrade)
  • Updated linux-firmware
  • Manually replaced AMD firmware from upstream linux-firmware repo
  • Rebuilt initramfs (update-initramfs -u)

Verified BIOS settings:

  • Above 4G decoding: enabled
  • Resizable BAR: enabled

Also, I did not install any drivers from the AMD website.

What could be causing this issue?

PCR_UNUSABLE When installing Ubuntu 26.04 with Hardware-backed encryption https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565961/pcr-unusable-when-installing-ubuntu-26-04-with-hardware-backed-encryption

I cannot install the new Ubuntu with Hardware-backed encryption because of this error:

PCR_UNUSABLE
error with secure boot policy (PCR7) measurements: unexpected EV_EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_APPLICATION event for \EFI\BOOT\BOOTEX.EXE after already seeing a verification during the OS-present environment. This event should be for the initial boot loader.

I have reset the TPM and reset the secure boot keys, I have cleared the drive so it is completely empty.

I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 (Intel Edition), I have disabled the Intel features like AMT.

Is there anything I can turn off to fix this issue? Anything will help.

Nautilus file previews for selected files https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565730/nautilus-file-previews-for-selected-files

I am on Ubuntu 24.04. After a recent update, some of my files, including:

  1. png image generated by one of my codes

  2. Screenshots taken

  3. Clean pdf files downloaded

have no preview thumbnails that were downloaded after the update was installed.. Older ones are still being displayed correctly. I tried the following commands:

sudo rm -rf \~/.thumbnails/\* \~/.cache/thumbnails/\*

and

sudo dnf install glycin-thumbnailer

but they did not work, and the problem only got worse after executing the first of the above commands, where the remaining thumbnails were also gone. I also tried nautilus-q but it didn't work.

Ubuntu 24.04 APT - Specify Architecture Using .sources Files https://askubuntu.com/questions/1514281/ubuntu-24-04-apt-specify-architecture-using-sources-files

I have a strange thing I cannot figure out. Have checked manpages, etc. So hoping someone else had the same issue.

To convert from a normal .list file to a .sources file, as is now used in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, I will use tor as an example:

Old way (tor.list):

deb [arch=amd64> signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main
deb-src [arch=amd64> signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main

New Way (tor.sources):

Types: deb
URIs: https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org
Suites: jammy
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg

The problem I have is this:

In the tor.sources, from what I can find, there is no way to specify the arch / architecture. I've tried arch, architecture, system, etc. Nothing works.

This is the error I get:

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

I know this is a cosmetic thing and it mostly just effects logs, etc. But, simply finding a way to specify the arch would fix this entirely.

Anyone has any ideas?

apt-get upgrade auto restart services https://askubuntu.com/questions/1367139/apt-get-upgrade-auto-restart-services

I have an unattended script for installing servers. At the beginning of the script there is a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --yes. The dist upgrade has a nasty user input screen at its end asking to restart services:
enter image description here

Is it possible to autoaccept service restarts or disable this screen? It breaks my whole script. Also Im afraid it might leave my server stuck at some point when updating...

same result with apt-get upgrade

edit: I tried without success:

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove apt-listchanges --assume-yes --force-yes &&

#using export is important since some of the commands in the script will fire in a subshell
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive &&
export APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none &&

#lib6c was an issue for me as it ignored the DEBIAN_FRONTEND environment variable and fired a prompt anyway. This should fix it

I'm guessing the only solution is to reinstall the system. Am I correct?

My system partition is OK, I think. As well as my home partition. I ran fsck with no problem.

I also executed boot-repair and I got this link https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4CG9s4R9Dr/

Is there any way to recover the missing system files?

FWIW I think the culprit was a bad Debian package I built myself or the checkinstall program for that matter when I was compiling emacs.

Can I install Ubuntu 18.04 and bring data over from another Ubuntu 18.04 installation on the same computer https://askubuntu.com/questions/1122311/can-i-install-ubuntu-18-04-and-bring-data-over-from-another-ubuntu-18-04-install

I have had Ubuntu for quite some time now and recently I have been having some problems with the generic drivers that have been causing kernel crashes and so many things went wrong that I can't fix anything because every problem keeps me from fixing the others. I discussed the problem about the generic drivers here: Ubuntu 18.04 having kernel panic on boot and I never found a fix.

Now I have decided that the easiest thing to do will be to boot Ubuntu fresh from a CD onto the computer in a different partition and then delete the old one. Now, I am wondering if there is a way to transfer my personal files from the previous partition (my personal files are fine despite the problems I have been having) into the my new boot as I am installing it. Is it even possible or would it pollute my new installation as well? Is it better to transfer the files manually after the installation? I also have Kali Linux and Windows 10 running on the same machine.

By now I can only when I finish using Ubuntu: either restart and choose to log in on windows OS and shut down normally (since my Windows works normally), or press the physical power off button on the machine when I was trying to shut down and it froze in Ubuntu afterwards

Here is some information about the desktop and system:

   GPU: NVIDIA gtx-1080
   256 GB SSD
   2T HDD (100GB SSD and 500 GB HDD for Ubuntu)
   Ubuntu: '/' and 'swap' on SSD, '/home' on HDD

1 out of 8 times Ubuntu freezes at shutdown. When I click on Esc I see the log and it gets stuck at Reached target shutdown, but it never shuts down. I read somewhere that it's a bug and tried to follow the step of pressing Alt+Prnt screen and then typing REISUB, but nothing happened.

Can't get past the GRUB menu on 12.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/414320/cant-get-past-the-grub-menu-on-12-04

I can't boot to Ubuntu 12.04. I get a blinking cursor and my caps key LED keeps flashing.

I've tried recovery mode and it gives the same error messages. I've tried loading a previous version from the grub menu, but I still have the same error. It all started a week ago when I upgraded from 11.10 to UBUNTU 12.04 and in the final stages of the upgrade I noticed that my screen had gone blank as usual when you leave your computer unattended for a while. When I moved the mouse it prompted for the password as usual, but when I entered the password I couldn't get to the desktop environment. The Windows partition runs normally.

The error is as follows:

Trying to single install on MacBook Pro but won't automatically boot from new OS? https://askubuntu.com/questions/392723/trying-to-single-install-on-macbook-pro-but-wont-automatically-boot-from-new-os

Got a MacBook Pro, 13 inch, 500gb Hard Drive, 4gb memory. Made a massive screw up on dual install, luckily had already transferred files to Ubuntu one. Ok, trying to install from USB, boots from that perfectly. Currently using the "Try Ubuntu without installation". Looking at GParted:

/dev/sda1: fat32.   No mount point.          Size: 487Mb,    Used: 4.27Mb.   Flags: boot
/dev/sda2: ext2.    No mount point.          Size: 244Mb,    Used: 51.69Mb.  No Flags
/dev/sda3: lvm2 pv. Mount point: ubuntu-vg   Size: 465.05Gb, Used: 465.01Gb. Flags: lvm
Unallocated: Size: 1.02Mb

NB: This was after an attempted install using LVM(?) NB 2: I have no idea what any of these things mean :P I do physics (undergraduate), not computer science!

I keep seeing the install programme through. I have tried doing the install from the trial desktop, doing the install from boot, and doing the install with OEM.

Each time, whenever I restart (as required by installation), it just asks me whether I want to install (black screen with list of boot options). Never gives me the option to boot from currently installed Ubuntu.

I have even tried to take out USB before the restart and it comes up with a flashing file symbol with a magnifying glass in the middle!
