What is this asking for? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560726/what-is-this-asking-for

Apologies in advance for poor formatting. I have to do this on my phone because I'm locked out on my laptop & it's infuriating.

Why am I stuck on this screen? It's like a full screen terminal & nothing else is showing. I've tried everything I can think of & it keeps saying it's wrong.

Do I need to reinstall Ubuntu? What is the problem?picture of login screen as best I could get it

RClone client is installed but one problem is left https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560725/rclone-client-is-installed-but-one-problem-is-left

I installed the RRClone client in Ubuntu 25.04 and it went well, but then it prompted me to grant OneDrive access.

I then created a OneDrive folder in my home directory.

Now I run rclone --vfs-cache-mode writes mount onedrive: ~/OneDrive and get the following error message: CRITICAL: Failed to create file system for "onedrive:": didn't find section in config file ("onedrive")

I can't mount the OneDrive folder.

How to adjust Wallpaper size https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560724/how-to-adjust-wallpaper-size

I would like to know how to have pictures/photos fit the window when using them as wallpaper - it doesn't seem to matter the size or type of either - most of them posted far larger than the window size - is there any way to fix that? TIA

Kubuntu 24.04 will not log me in https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560723/kubuntu-24-04-will-not-log-me-in

A few days ago I had to force my computer to shut down by holding the power button because I had a blank (dark) screen and could not get the machine to display anything. I had earlier tried to go to the login screen by "changing user". Although there is no other user registered I thought it would default to the login screen.

Since forced shutdown I cannot login. The machine boots to a login screen that is different to the normal one, and I can enter my password, but nothing happens when I press Enter.

I have booted to recovery mode and tried the various tools on the menu: dpkg, fsck, grub, root (drop to root shell prompt), System summary. None of them have solved the problem.

I have also tried (all the following commands (with sudo):

systemctrl restart sddm
startx
apt update, apt install --reinstall sddm plasma, dpkg -reconfigure sddm, reboot*
{checked logs} journalctl -b -p err --no-pager, systemctl status sddm
cat /home/(userfolder)/.xsession-errors 2>/dev/null || true

{checked disk space} df -h /

From what I can see the problem is not sddm (simple desktop display manager), even though that has replaced the previous Plasma display manager. The problem is something to do with LVM (Logical Volume Management). Something about the disk/volume management has been corrupted or deleted.

In System Summary everything else reports ok except this:
"=== LVM state===
Physical Volumes: not ok (BAD)
Volume Groups: ok (good)"
Note: while volume groups reports good, when I run vgdisplay, vgscan or lvdisplay they return no information, I think because they do not identify any volumes or volume groups.

When I run pvscan it returns No matching physical volumes found, yet when I run fdisk -l it returns information on all the storage devices and their partitions, and I can navigate through directories and look at their contents.

One other oddity: fdisk -l returns this comment in red Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. after the listing for a hard disk I use only for data.

If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem I would be very grateful. BTW I will be away for a few days and unable to reply to any posts until next Monday.

Ubuntu 25.10 - Keyboard problems https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560722/ubuntu-25-10-keyboard-problems

I am having trouble with generic US keyboards in Ubuntu Studio 25.10 (questing) using Konsole in Plasma on Wayland. I have updated my packages today using apt.

The uppercase and lowercase letters often are the wrong case, despite what the caps-lock indicator shows. The Shift key does not seem to be coordinated with my typing. It frequently does not seem to update the status of the shift key when I type fast.

The plus sign on the keypad has been remapped to an equal sign. Pressing Shift on the main keyboard and plus on the keypad sends a plus sign, although the keyboards have a plus sign painted on them.

I tried System Settings > Keyboard to change the Model to "Logitech | Logitech", since that is the closest match to my external keyboard. I also tried reset to "Defaults" in "Keyboard - System Settings".

Under Accessibility, I only have "Audible Bell" and "Shake cursor to find it" enabled.

Problem persists.

Ubuntu 24.04 freezes during shutdown https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560719/ubuntu-24-04-freezes-during-shutdown

After installing Ubuntu 24.04, dual boot with Windows 10 (now deprecated), everything worked very well... until attempting to shut the PC.

Whether using the menu bar Power Off icon, calling shutdown or calling systemctl poweroff, about one third of the time the shutdown process starts and then hangs. At the end, the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive, the display still shows the Ubuntu shutdown logo, the fan is running rapidly, and the only way to actually shut down is to hold the power button for some seconds.

Examining the log, using journalctl after rebooting, only shows the current boot log, with no failure notices. Pressing Esc at the start of shutdown to get verbose messages indicates the freeze took place shortly after trying to unmount an external drive, used to store Music, Pictures and Videos.

fdisk: cannot open /dev/sda: Permission denied https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560716/fdisk-cannot-open-dev-sda-permission-denied

I am creating a script for my Java Library to run. However fdisk (when resizing my partition) constantly throws an error.

Here's the script: https://gist.github.com/RishonDev/2affcd0002b970855a222b5e9fdf4a41

The --addPartition is where it goes wrong. Rest of the stuff works fine. What may be the cause? The command I used is listed below (pass is the password of the admin account of that linux system.)

PASSWORD="pass" ./format2.sh --addPartition /dev/sda 100MiB fat32 EFI

Here's the output of part sudo parted -m -s /dev/sda unit MiB print free

SSD is not detected in Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 laptop https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560715/ssd-is-not-detected-in-asus-rog-strix-scar-18-laptop

I just bought a new Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2025) laptop with Windows 11 installed. When I am loading from an Ubuntu USB stick (I tried both Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04), the system does not detect the SSD at all. When browsing with Google, I saw that the RAID mode of SSD can be an issue, however when I disable VMD mode in the BIOS, the SSD disappears even from BIOS boot options.

How to troubleshoot a crash in Davinci Resolve? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560712/how-to-troubleshoot-a-crash-in-davinci-resolve

I installed DaVinci Resolve 20 on my computer. It starts fine and opens up my project, but as soon as I press the Ctrl key it crashes. It will be running fine and I can use some features, but pressing the Ctrl key in the Fusion tab just crashes it instantly.

I'm very intrigued by this and I need help to solve this issue. I have an ongoing project that requires me to use DaVinci, so I'm in a bit of a hurry.

Here are some information that may be relevant:

I have a Nvidia graphics card RTX 3060, 16Gb RAM, and an Intel Core i7-9700KF × 8 processor. I'm trying to install DaVinci Resolve 20 free version in Ubuntu 24.04. I tried the latest 20.3 version and it has the same problem.

I assume the crash is not being caused by a hardware limitation. I have the latest driver for the graphics card installed (nvidia-driver-580-open) and DaVinci shows me my graphics card in its configuration settings, so that shouldn't be the cause of the problem, right?

Update from LTS to Non-LTS https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560708/update-from-lts-to-non-lts

How do I dual boot Ubuntu without boot menu or USB? [duplicate] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560604/how-do-i-dual-boot-ubuntu-without-boot-menu-or-usb

(Karel, please don't be a grammar police, english is not my main language 🙂)

I want to experience Ubuntu outside of a virtual machine, and I want to install Ubuntu on my laptop. There are two problems though. First, I don't have a spare USB or something like that. Second, I have a big fear of BIOS-related menus meaning I don't want to access Novo menu, BIOS setup or boot menu. My Lenovo laptop didn't came with Intel RST or Bitlocker meaning I'm prepared for install. Any comment saying "go buy a USB/enter boot menu" will be ignored as they bring no beneficial value to my problem.

I have the installation partition prepared on my secondary 1Tb drive and Ubuntu version is 24.04.

I bought a USB and I'm ready to boot it from Windows Recovery.

Discover Update Fails in an Endless Loop https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560524/discover-update-fails-in-an-endless-loop

In October, I migrated from Win 10 to Ubuntu, rather than suffer Win 11. It has been going well, but I am getting this problem when Ubuntu Discover tries to do a "firmware update":

Ubuntu Discover update "failed to write-firmware: failed to write (null): failed to write data to efivarsfs: Error writing to file descriptor: Invalid argument"

Even more irritating, I dismiss the error message and it pops right back. The Discover updater captures the cursor too quickly to close the program, leaving me stuck. The cursor/mouse is captured by Discover, leaving me unable to do anything other than close the error message box, which pops right back endlessly.

The first time this happened, I tried the reset button on the PC, but that had the bad side effect of leaving a couple drives with "missing mount points", which I had to remove from the PC and put in my old Win 10 pc and run partition manager to scan them for errors, then back in to my main PC and all was happy again. Yes, I know there is a way to do this in Ubuntu, but I felt too newbie to try it and risk losing important data. And yes, I do have a back up, but some recent things might have been lost.

The second time this happened, just this morning, I was able to click on the Discover icon on the left of the Task Manager bar and manage to quit Discover after several tries. A quick right click on the icon and then a typed Q to quit, if done quickly enough was able to do the job.

Thank you for any help

Problem: I used to have a windows 11, moved to ubuntu. Installed 24.04lts version. Internet seems to be very very slow. Tried couple of other suggestions, such as disabling power management for wifi, update and upgrade the system. These does not seem to do the trick. When i look at the device from the router (Atnt) I see a very low link rate (30mbps) whereas every single other device falls at around 500 mbps. Furthermore, I'm using qualcom network adapter since the one that the dell alienware aurora r7 had, kind of stopped working when i changed the case since the case was too small. So in additional drivers, it shows Broadcom Inc. BCM4360 802.11ac Dualband wireless network adapter, I'm not sure if that is the correct one. The one that I am using is - Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac.

What steps I took?

  1. Tried to disable the power management

  2. Command to check the network card - lspci -nnk | grep -i net

However, still no luck. Can anyone please help me. I kind of feel like I'm running in circles.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VPN Connections in Network Manager https://askubuntu.com/questions/1515120/ubuntu-24-04-lts-vpn-connections-in-network-manager

I've done a profile change on my laptop to have domain logins. In doing so, I copied all config files in my home directory to a temp location, and then into the new home directory, obviously doing a chown to the new user id. After login, I noticed all of my NetworkManager VPN connections had disappeared. I can still see all of the .nmconnection files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/system-connections. I have updated the permissions in each of these files, and restarted NetworkManager, but nothing seems to bring them back in to the GUI. I have also noticed, that new VPN connections I create don't save into the same directory and don't show up anywhere on the root drive as a .nmconnection file.

Is there another location I should be looking for the VPN configuration file since the Ubuntu upgrade, or does the fact that it is now a domain login have effect, are the VPN profiles stored somewhere completely different?

Thanks in advance.

MiPi Camera and Ubuntu Linux: New kernel 6.5 no longer working https://askubuntu.com/questions/1499805/mipi-camera-and-ubuntu-linux-new-kernel-6-5-no-longer-working

I followed the steps here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lenovo) to get my MiPi camera working on my Thinkpad X1Gen10 with Ubuntu 22.04.

These steps work under 6.2:

$ sudo apt install linux-modules-ipu6-generic-hwe-22.04 linux-modules-ivsc-generic-hwe-22.04 (For generic kernel, like 6.2.0-32-generic)
$ sudo apt install linux-modules-ipu6-oem-22.04c linux-modules-ivsc-oem-22.04c (For oem kernel, like 6.1.0-1021-oem)
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6 (This ppa is still in development, might be not stable, in future you don't need this step)
$ sudo apt install libcamhal0
$ sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6 (the ppa will keep updating packages from upstream, might be broken)
$ sudo reboot

This worked fine with kernel 6.2, but now fails when booting with the newest kernel with version 6.5.0.14.14. Camera is not starting anymore and I get a black screen instead of the camera image in any application.

Is there a fix for 6.5 on the way?

Thank You!

UPDATE: There is no fix yet, Intel is moving at glacier speed on this:

"Reset System", bootloop after attempting to dual boot https://askubuntu.com/questions/1379335/reset-system-bootloop-after-attempting-to-dual-boot

I was trying to dual boot Ubuntu 21.04 with windows 10 on my HP elitebook-folio-9480m.

I was following this tutorial to do the same. After creating the partitions for the installation process. The system gave me a "fatal error" about some issues regarding the boot partition as far as i remember.

However in another window it said that the installation was complete and I needed to restart the computer.

As I did so my pc would boot-up, show the "hp" logo then show a message in the top left saying "Reset System" and repeat.

I have tried and enter the boot menu but to no avail.

gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated https://askubuntu.com/questions/1359087/gcc-fatal-error-no-input-files-compilation-terminated

I'm new to linux environment. I created a file s1.c in a folder named 'program' which is present in desktop. When I try to compile my code using "/program gcc s1.c " it's showing "gcc: error: s1.c: No such file or directory gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated." What may be the problem

User-Friendly Automated File Organization https://askubuntu.com/questions/1272940/user-friendly-automated-file-organization

I once used DropIt on Windows 10. Unfortunately, it's not compatible with Ubuntu. I've tried Dolphin as an alternative, but it can't do what I need.

I need either a way to install DropIt to make it work on Ubuntu without a great amount of technical knowledge, or a substitute that can do what DropIt does.

For the former: something which only requires a few copy-and-paste commands into the command line, direct installs, or Applmage/Snap downloads would do.

For latter, I need the following functions and features:

  • User-friendly interface with minimum code (e.g., Boolean logic filter parameters, not Linux queries)
  • Set multi-factor parameters (e.g., <5 KB, text type, within Video Games folder, does not contain "Incomplete" or "Scraps" in title)
  • Can see inside file contents for the sake of filtering files and sending files to a specified destination (e.g., "Within Video Games folder, send to "Pokemon" subfolder if file content contains "Charizard")
  • Filter many files at a time (Easy File Organizer has a limit of 30)

I am running Cinnamon on the latest version of Ubuntu, re-configured to look like Windows Vista, and I have installed Wine. (DropIt isn't even mentioned on Wine's website, in case you're wondering.)

It seems someone asked a similar question before, but it wasn't answered.

Fan speed control issues on Ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/1269769/fan-speed-control-issues-on-ubuntu

I recently noticed that my Dell laptop is overheating because the fan stops. I've read almost all posts on the internet related to fan control, anything related to i8kctl and lm-sensors.

The laptop runs dual boot and there's no issues when I'm running Windows 10, it only happens on Ubuntu 20.04.1.

What I've found out is when I run command sudo pwmconfig, I'm getting this output:

Found the following PWM controls:
hwmon5/pwm1           current value: 0

Giving the fans some time to reach full speed...
Found the following fan sensors:
hwmon5/fan1_input     current speed: 0 ... skipping!


There are no working fan sensors, all readings are 0.
Make sure you have a 3-wire fan connected.
You may also need to increase the fan divisors.
See doc/fan-divisors for more information.

It suggests that my fan sensor is having some kind of connectivity problem. However the fan turns on sometimes for few seconds, then dies again. At the same time, it runs just fine on Windows, so imo this is not the problem. I've updated BIOS, cleaned and tested the fan so my guess it's a Linux problem.

I tried to manually control the fan with i8kctl, but it didn't work for me either. Can anybody help me deal with it?

numpy install error https://askubuntu.com/questions/1154770/numpy-install-error

Background

Instructions indicate installing numpy in a python virtual environment (log below). The log indicates warning and errors: although the install process indicates 'Success', the warnings / errors indicate uncertainty. That being said:

Questions

  1. What are the problems associated with said errors & warnings?
  2. Is there a test that can confirm there will be no problems?
  3. How can the install command be improved so as to avoid the same errors / warnings?

Enroll MOK password doesn't match https://askubuntu.com/questions/1076094/enroll-mok-password-doesnt-match

I'm trying to install Virtualbox on my Ubuntu 18.04 but I encountered some problems because of Secure Boot. So I'm following this tutorial which seems a good solution.

But here is my problem : When I reboot and choose 'Enroll MOK' on the 'blue window', I enter my password, but it always fail... I tried many times, and everytime I remove .priv and .der files to re-generate them with openssl command, but agains and again :

"The password doesn't match"

I'm pretty sure that I enter the same password when I generate files with mokutil command.

Am I missing something ?

Nvidia X Server Setting not opening https://askubuntu.com/questions/978523/nvidia-x-server-setting-not-opening

I installed 17.10 recently and went to change the graphics from the Nvidia card to the Intel card to save battery. After switching the Prime setting to use the Intel card, I can no longer open X server settings. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but still nothing happens when I go to open it. Is this just an issue with 17.10 that will be fixed in later releases, like the upcoming 18.04?

ERROR: problem running ufw-init https://askubuntu.com/questions/585430/error-problem-running-ufw-init

I tried setting up ufw on my remote Ubuntu 14.04 server so i installed it and allowed ssh with the command

sudo ufw allow ssh

after that I tried to enable ufw but I get the following error:

ERROR: problem running ufw-init
iptables-restore: line 77 failed
iptables-restore: line 30 failed
iptables-restore: line 10 failed
iptables-restore: line 39 failed

Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.

Problem running '/etc/ufw/before.rules'
Problem running '/etc/ufw/after.rules'
Problem running '/lib/ufw/user.rules'

Then I found this troubleshooting guid which recommends to comment some lines in the mentioned .rules files, but I would have to comment every line in all the files to get it starting. I can't do that since I need at least the allow ssh rule.

The most suspicious line is the one mentioning a iptables-restore error:

Unable to locate package python-gnomedesktop https://askubuntu.com/questions/429888/unable-to-locate-package-python-gnomedesktop

While installing: sudo apt-get install python-gnomedesktop python-rsvg ipython

I receive the error: E: Unable to locate package python-gnomedesktop

SRST failed (errno = -16) while resuming from suspend https://askubuntu.com/questions/166992/srst-failed-errno-16-while-resuming-from-suspend

I see this error briefly at the top of a full screen console-type text screen as the computer restarts from suspend. At the start of the message is something about ATA, so I think it's to do with a hard disk restarting and something failing.

Should I worry? Everything seems to be working.

Edit: Smart status on the 2 disk drives is green, although one has a few bad sectors. I will watch it more closely.
