why the + after nfs mounted files when there is no additional attributes https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566517/why-the-after-nfs-mounted-files-when-there-is-no-additional-attributes

Up through release 24.04, when I look at a list of files on an NFS mount using the ls -l command, I see the permissions then the number of hard links, then owner . . .

On 26.04 When I look at a similar list of files on an NFS mount using the ls -l command, I see a plus (+) sign after the permissions.

I found some discussion of the plus sign at the spot meaning there were additional attributes which could be viewed with the getfacl command. On both 24.04 where there isn't a plus to the right of permissions as well as on 26.04, where I do see the + to the right of the permissions, in both cases getfacl shows no additional information, just

# file:
# owner:
# group:
user::rw-
group::rw-
other::r--

So why does 24.04 show -rw-rw-r-- yet 26.04 shows -rw-rw-r--+

Error about missing release file for NGINX https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566516/error-about-missing-release-file-for-nginx

I previously had Ondrej NGINX installed, but needed to remove it, as per this question:

Unable to remove Ondrej NGINX

Then I followed the official NGINX installation notes here:

https://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#Ubuntu

But there is still an error when I run apt update:

E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu noble Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I checked and the nginx.list file is there and has the correct contents. Why would there still be an update error?

I also tried the suggestion with the nginx.sources file at:

Missing Release file for NGINX PPA on Ubuntu 24.04 Noble

But upon running apt update the following error is produced instead:

E: Conflicting values set for option Signed-By regarding source https://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ noble: /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg != /etc/apt/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg
E: The list of sources could not be read.

I have no idea where the /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg reference is coming from. The file just contains the following:

Types: deb
URIs: http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu

Components: nginx

How to get information after a crash leading to initramfs prompt? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566510/how-to-get-information-after-a-crash-leading-to-initramfs-prompt

Preambule to the question:

I have a dual boot with Windows11 and Ubuntu26.04. I wanted to have encrypted partitions, so I have 3:

  • 1 NTFS (with Bitlocker) for the Windows OS
  • 1 EXT4 (LUKS) for Ubuntu (mounted at /, /home is in the same partition)
  • 1 NTFS (with bitlocker) as a shared partion where I put my projects and documents.

I was working on a code project, and saving my files in the shared partition, and I got several times (10 times at least) a crash that led me to an "initramfs" prompt. As I am not an expert, I simply restarted the computer, I noticed I could not mount the shared drive, and I had to repair it using Disk utility (which worked). This happened many time as I said, and I wanted to understand a little... So, I decided to disable Bitlocker from the Shared partition, to make sure this was not the issue. I still got the crash several times, always when I was saving a file in that partition. So, I decided to reformat the drive to EXT4+LUKS, and now everything works fine.

I want to mention that, when the crash occured, I was not working on windows and restarted to Linux. I was working exclusively on Linux, saving on that shared NTFS partition. I had to switch once to disable bitlocker, and I made sure to stop the computer (not restart) to avoid any "fast boot" issues related to NTFS.

The question:

  • Is there a way to get the logs related to the crash that led me to initramfs prompt? My goal is to understand if it was a configuration issue on my hand, an hardware failure, or a bug in the system.

Thanks,

Nemo file manager: Make "Open in Terminal" work in Ubuntu 26.04 with ptyxis https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566506/nemo-file-manager-make-open-in-terminal-work-in-ubuntu-26-04-with-ptyxis

"Open in Terminal" in Nemo does nothing because it is set to use xfce4-terminal which is not installed. I found out that the terminal to use can be changed with:

gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec ptyxis

The problems are: 1. If a ptyxis terminal window already is open, I'm only getting a notification like "Terminal {current terminal path} is ready" but nothing else. The terminal path is not changed and the window is not raised if hidden or minimized. 2. If no terminal window is open, a new window opens but it is always in my last used path, not the path from Nemo.

How can I set Nemo to open a new ptyxis window or tab using the path from Nemo?

Secure Boot Certificate in QEMU Ubuntu 24.04 for Windows Guest https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566505/secure-boot-certificate-in-qemu-ubuntu-24-04-for-windows-guest

I have a computer running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS desktop where I have QEMU/KVM running. One of the guest OS is Windows 11. This VM has secure-boot on as required by Windows. The secure boot certificates originally issued in 2011 will expire next month. The new certificates were issued in 2023.

It looks like my VM is not using the new certificates. When I check the secure boot status from within Windows guest, it says:

Secure boot is on, but your device is using an older boot trust configuration that should be updated. There is not yet enough data to classify your device for automatic update.

The XML tab of the Overview section of the Virtual Machine Manager shows in part:

    <loader readonly="yes" secure="yes" type="pflash">/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE_4M.ms.fd</loader>
    <nvram template="/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS_4M.ms.fd">/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/win11_VARS.fd</nvram>

The files OVMF_CODE_4M.ms.fd and OVMF_VARS_4M.ms.fd have the modified date of December 10, 2025. The file OVMF_CODE_4M.ms.fd is linked to OVMF_CODE_4M.secboot.fd in the folder /usr/share/OVMF/.

I looked at the OMVF UEFI configuration menu and couldn’t find anything regarding the secure boot certificates or anyway to add new ones.

My searches have led to some solutions for Red Hat, and Proxmox, but nothing specific to Ubuntu.

Here is the Windows 11 System log:

Q: How do I make sure that the OMVF is using the secure boot certificates from 2023?


Update:

Thanks to Andrei's post in Stack Exchange I booted the VM from the Ubuntu 24.04 ISO in the Try Ubuntu mode and used the following commands:

mokutil --db > before
grep Subject: before
mokutil --kek | grep Subject:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl efivar
curl -LO https://github.com/microsoft/secureboot_objects/raw/refs/heads/main/PostSignedObjects/Optional/DB/amd64/DBUpdate2024.bin
sudo efivar -n d719b2cb-3d3a-4596-a3bc-dad00e67656f-db -f ./DBUpdate2024.bin -a -A 0x27
mokutil --db > after
grep Subject: after

Output

Subject: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011
Subject: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011
Subject: C=US, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=Windows UEFI CA 2023

On booting back to Windows, I asked for the Bitlocker recovery passphrase.

Now in Windows powershell commands I get one "True" and two "False":

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI kek).bytes) -match ‘Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K CA 2023’)
False
([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match ‘Windows UEFI CA 2023’)
True
([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match ‘Microsoft option rom UEFI CA 2023’)
False

New Question

Do I need to update these remaining two certificates? If so how?

Thanks

Monitor and Audio cutting out on Kubuntu 24.04, only when playing specific games https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566500/monitor-and-audio-cutting-out-on-kubuntu-24-04-only-when-playing-specific-games

I am a relatively new Linux user and have been using Kubuntu 24.04 for a couple of months. Randomly while playing Subnautica or Team Fortress 2 on Kubuntu, my monitor and speakers (Samsung Odyssey Oled and Creative Gigaworks T20 Series 2 Speakers) will cut out and I have to use the reboot hotkey (REISUB) or shut down the computer to regain my speaker and monitor functionality.

My speakers are connected via 3.5mm and my monitor is connected via DisplayPort. I have a two year old prebuilt with 32g RAM, a B760m-c ASRock motherboard, a RTX 4060 GPU, and an Intel i5-13400f CPU. My sound is handled through my CPU and my graphics through my GPU. I am using X11.

I do not experience this on any other games (even very graphically intensive ones) and basic stress testing has revealed no issues with my GPU. My main problem is that i have no errors in any logs, whether dmesg, xorg or any others. I really dont know how to troubleshoot this. I have changed graphics drivers multiple times and none of them fix the problem. I have tried running these games without steam overlay and with borderless windowed to no avail. I have disabled powersave for just about everything and secure boot is off.

If someone could help me figure this out I would appreciate it much, thanks.

How to change icon to Ptyxis application on Ubuntu 26.04? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566467/how-to-change-icon-to-ptyxis-application-on-ubuntu-26-04

Last weekend I installed Ubuntu 26.04. Today I wanted to do something that seemed simple: change the icon of the terminal application (org.gnome.Ptyxis) that I have pinned to the dock (dash-to-dock) because I find it too pink for my personal taste and it clashes with all the other system icons, so following some tutorials, I tried creating a 256x256 image and putting it in the folder ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/org.gnome.Ptyxis.png. The problem is that after restarting the computer, I didn't see any change. I tried using the scalable directory with an SVG, but there was no change either. I tried putting the icon in other directories further back in the parent directories, but that didn't work either. I tried with ~/.local/share/icons/Yaru-dark/scalable/apps/org.gnome.Ptyxis.svg, but it didn't work.

enter image description here

This frustrates me a bit, since on other, more common systems, you just right-click an icon and select a "change icon" button, and that's it, but here something as trivial as minimal customization is a headache, requiring me to resort to dconf and other methods. Does anyone know how to change the icon without modifying the original .desktop file or changing system files? I don't want to break anything and I want to maintain system integrity in the face of future updates, so I don't want to modify or create new .desktop files because I don't know what changes the application might undergo in the future, especially with such a new version. Everything can change in just a few days, so I want to take the most common approach: adding an icon image to a local directory in my user folder.

RAM overflow even after closing all tasks https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566427/ram-overflow-even-after-closing-all-tasks

The issue happens after a while of running ubuntu (Budgie), maybe after some suspend - waking up. Today it happened after about 5 minutes of using the firefox after waking up from suspend. Using the firefox suddenly becomes laggy, and I know I have only like 1 or 2 minutes before everything freezes and I have to do a hard reboot. Checking in with system monitor, it turns out that ram (8GB) is between 90% and 100% full and swap (4GB) over 50%. Shutting down all apps - especially the firefox - buys some time, but interestingly ram usage stays high even after all non-system tasks are shut down. It even increases towards 100% usage, at which point I reboot to avoid the complete freeze + hard reboot. Processor is far from maximum capacity so i figure the problem must be the ram management or possibly an issue with an application. Any advice appreciated :-)

Apps I had running when suspending & waking up and I had closed all before rebooting: firefox, steam, g-notepad, evince pdf reader, dropbox, nextcloud.

Ubuntu 26.04: Power Mode toggle is broken https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566420/ubuntu-26-04-power-mode-toggle-is-broken

After updating to 26.04, I can not switch power modes in the Quick Settings. Well, it did work ONE time, when setting to "Performance" but after that, I could not switch to "Balanced" or "Power Saver" and trying to set Power mode in Settings is the same thing.

running

sudo powerprofilesctl set balanced

works as a workaround but this does not fix the issue in Quick Settings.

This worked fine in 25.10. Is this permanently fixable?

Edit: This seems to “break” when logging in remotely. Stopping the remote session and rebooting the system fixes the issue. However, is this a bug or is this by design?

The first picture is where my computer is stuck (for at least 15 minutes).

Then I tried the recovery mod and to repair broken dependencies (dpkg). It didn't work. I then understood I needed to activate the network. The dpkg did work more, but at some point said it couldn't go further and just stopped the processes and went back.

The last picture was when I got the computer to shut down after all this. First I just had a black screen, then I pressed the power button. It started to show lines rather quickly (that's the last picture), and then itshut down.

I also tried to boot on my USB flash drive (with Ubuntu 18.04), but I didn't manage to actually see my two other drives, so I'm rather lost on what I can do to solve this problem.

I wouldn't mind just scrap everything and reinstall, but first I'd need to save my data. I'm not sure how I could do it in this state.

Does anyone have an idea about how I could do it?

Find all jpgs in a directory and convert to pdf https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566157/find-all-jpgs-in-a-directory-and-convert-to-pdf

The name of the directory within dir will change so I tried using find. First time using bash so I couldn't seem to wrap my head around piping just yet. The best I came up with was:

var="$(find dir -mindepth 1 -type f)"
magick var output.pdf

but keep getting the error:

magick: no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/746.

If theres a way to pipe it I'd much appreciate the answer, but I struggled immensely with that as well and I've finally given in.

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.

Ubuntu Landscape client no last ping https://askubuntu.com/questions/1559316/ubuntu-landscape-client-no-last-ping

I have recently purchased ubuntu pro essential and want to setup landscape to manage some hosts (around 30). I created a new ubuntu 24 host and used the quickstart install for landscape. Once complete I added my own certificates in apache.

I can reach the webpage on https://myserver.domain.com and setup the admin user account and logged in. I went to one of my other servers and performed and installed the clients. The command I used was this: sudo landscape-config --computer-title "$(hostname)" --account-name standalone -p mykeyforregistering --url https://myserver.domain.com/message-system --ping-url http://myserver.domain.com/ping

The machine registers and takes inventory but the last ping does not show. Then after 5 minutes it says offline as no ping was performed even though it registered.

I went to the https://myserver.domain.com/ping site with curl and from another PC with a browser and see there is a 404 page not found.

I am not sure what is missing as the install instructions do not indicate to do anything else with the "ping" setup. I can register but the ping does not work. I have 443|80|8080 open on the local firewall for the landscape server. I rebooted and the issues persists.

ACPI BIOS Error messages when booting Ubuntu 20.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1299214/acpi-bios-error-messages-when-booting-ubuntu-20-04

After upgrading my ASUS Zenbook UX305UA (Intel i5-6200) from ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 (20.04.1 LTS to be specific) a couple of weeks ago, I am experiencing odd bugs. While odd green pixels like this were cured by uninstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel, I am still experiencing kernel errors when booting:

[0.223364] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.PAGD._STA._OSI], AE_NOT_FOUND (20190816/psargs-303)

Searching stackexchange/askubuntu, I came across this post confirming that it is a glinch in the BIOS and this is pretty much where my expertise comes to an end (very fast^^). @heynnema's answer sounded a good start but didn't work out (they suggested to roll back grub temporarily checking if the error still occurs at other kernels. However, I can't even boot up in kernel 5.4.0-54 -- where -56 is my normal kernel.) My BIOS is older than in the mentioned post:

BIOS Vendor     American Megatrends
Version         201
VBIOS Version   1024.I019UX204UA.003
EC Version      FOSL0900

The next newer (and current) version is 302, which does "Optimize system performance". I am playing with the thought of upgrading the BIOS -- though I have never done this before.

The problem are not the errors/warnings but that the system crashes at irregular times when being suspended. It boots up again automatically (instead from resuming from suspending) and runs straight into the safety/boot-option mode. I click "ubuntu" and it remains in a back screen forever (OK, I didn't try "forever", but its longer than I ever kept my patience). I have to force another boot (again into the safety/boot-option menu) but this time, ubuntu boots up.

EDIT/Update Here is the output of /var/log/syslog. I found a couple of suspicious entries but I can't figure that out.

Delete files in a directory older than 7 days, but always leave at least 20 files intact https://askubuntu.com/questions/932996/delete-files-in-a-directory-older-than-7-days-but-always-leave-at-least-20-file

Beginner here: I want to sync pictures to a folder but want them to be recent. That's why I want them to be deleted if they are older then 7 days.

Current code for it:

find ./recentpicturesdirectory -mtime -7 -type f -delete 

Now I need an exception because there should always be a minimum of 20 pictures in the folder.

I did some research but can't figure it out. Maybe use something else then the find command?

First sad try (told you I'm a beginner)

SIZE=find recentpictesfolder -type f | wc -l

find ./recentpicturesdirectory -mtime -7 -type f \(-iname ".*" ! **if files part of -> .. i dont know ...**$SIZE ) -delete

How to remove all comments/annotations in multiple pdfs from command line https://askubuntu.com/questions/659265/how-to-remove-all-comments-annotations-in-multiple-pdfs-from-command-line

Are there any open source solution to remove all the comments/annotations from PDF files using command line?

I searched around, and it seems that there are solutions with commercial software, e.g. , by javascripting Acrobat Pro. The non-free cpdf also has a command line option:

The -remove-annotations operation removes all annotations from the given page range.

But I couldn't find such an option for open source tools such as pdftk. Any pointers?

How to permanently switch Caps Lock and Esc https://askubuntu.com/questions/363346/how-to-permanently-switch-caps-lock-and-esc

How can I permanently switch the Caps Lock and Esc key functions in Saucy? I can use this command to do it temporarily (until reboot):

I tried adding that command as a Startup Application, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
