Thinking about going to Ubuntu 26.04 from Kubuntu 26.04
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567333/thinking-about-going-to-ubuntu-26-04-from-kubuntu-26-04Just curious to know if going from Kubuntu (KDE desktop) to Ubuntu (Gnome) will cause any issues? Should I backup my data prior to switching? Thanks!
Why is plocate/locate very slow on WSL2 (minutes per query)?
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567329/why-is-plocate-locate-very-slow-on-wsl2-minutes-per-queryOn WSL2 (Ubuntu), locate/plocate queries take 1–2 minutes instead of milliseconds. The database is small (~130 MB) and it is not disk-bound — the data is fully cached and strace shows almost no time spent in reads. CPU usage is low too; the process just sits in D state.
What is actually making it this slow, and how do I fix it?
Are .deb file installation on Ubuntu a potential for system breakage like on Debian?
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567325/are-deb-file-installation-on-ubuntu-a-potential-for-system-breakage-like-on-debAsking this because Debian clearly states on their wiki;
Some third-party repositories might appear safe to use as they contain only packages that have no equivalent in Debian. However, there are no guarantees that any repository will not add more packages in future, leading to breakage.
Finally, packages in official Debian releases have gone through extensive testing, often for months, and only fit packages are allowed in a release. On the other hand, packages from external sources might alter files belonging to other packages, configure the system in unexpected ways, introduce vulnerabilities, cause licensing issues.
Once packages from unofficial sources are introduced in a system it can become difficult to pinpoint the cause of breakage especially if it happens after months.
From this I infer that it should be avoided whenever possible to install software from third-party sources & repos, including from .deb files off the internet. Of course because of security, but also due to dependency issues, and potential for future system breakage.
But is this an issue on Ubuntu as well? If I go to trusted sites like Steam, Discord, etc. and see their official Ubuntu download readily available as .deb, it makes me think there must be something different about Ubuntu that doesn't make it an issue, that these vendors are distributing their software in .deb as an officially supported method on Ubuntu.
For clarity, I'm talking about double-clicking the .deb file and installing through the App Center, or through sudo apt install -y ./filename.deb as both do the same thing from what I understand (that is, resolving any required dependencies in the installation.)
My downloaded Epson BX630FW Printer Driver is not working, is there a fix, or can I copy it from another computer easily?
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567322/my-downloaded-epson-bx630fw-printer-driver-is-not-working-is-there-a-fix-or-caI have an Epson BX 630FW printer. I have one legacy computer with original drivers for the printer, which works well, and a new computer that I need to install the driver into. The online available driver, either direct from Epson, or via Ubuntu, does not work. It apparently installs, shows the printer icon, but sends no data to the printer. Nothing happens. This is true for two different computers now. Is there a simple command line way to copy/ paste the driver and perform a transplant? Thanks.
Superuser prompt pops up 4 times (!)
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567316/superuser-prompt-pops-up-4-timesI recently upgraded to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. I used to use a VPN app, which now shows 4 times prompts for the superuser (after the upgrade) - on the last Ubuntu version I had not a single prompt when establishing a connection. What can I do to simplify this behaviour?
PyCharm kivy not found when it is installed in Kubuntu 24.04
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567315/pycharm-kivy-not-found-when-it-is-installed-in-kubuntu-24-04I made a mistake and had a space in my project file name. I renamed it and made a new virtual environment and Python interpreter. Now whenever I run my scripts I get this error:
/home/jahil/Desktop/0python/gymtracker/.venv2/bin/python /home/jahil/Desktop/0python/gymtracker/test.py

I found an old thread about how filenames containing kivy can break the extension so I've already renamed all my files, but it still persists. I've tried restarting my PC and reinstalling kivy. I've provided a screenshot of my set up and you can see it is installed. Do you have any suggestions about what I can try to resolve this?
Partition doesn't show the right size during installation
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567313/partition-doesnt-show-the-right-size-during-installationI'm new to Ubuntu and Linux as a whole. I wanted to try dual-booting on my laptop with Windows 11 and Ubuntu Server. I created unallocated space for Ubuntu in Disk Management on Windows (about 120gb) but during the installation process it showed the partition as only having 16mb. I did check the other partitions but they seemed to line up perfectly with what I saw in Disk Management. It's only the unallocated space that's not shown correctly (the unallocated space on my SD card doesn't even show at all but that's not a problem). Right now there should be 6 partitions. Partition 1,4,5,6 are small/recovery partitions that were already on the laptop when I bought it. Partition 2 is my Windows partition and 3 is the empty space for Ubuntu (2 and 3 are switched in the Ubuntu install). Should I just install it on the empty partition then? This is what is shown during installation, This is what Disk Management shows
Ubuntu laptop inconsistent booting, freezes, screen with blue pixels
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567312/ubuntu-laptop-inconsistent-booting-freezes-screen-with-blue-pixelsI am no expert in Ubuntu so I would really appreciate some help. Randomly, my laptop (hp with amd ryzen and nvidia GeForce gtx1650, specifically ho pavilion 15-ec2013ns) showed some weird pixels (boxes where 3 squares are black, 1 white etc). Sometimes it boots, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it goes to grub. When it boots it might work or freeze. If I move the screen or the laptop, it might freeze.
I checked the logs and there were some ACPI errors (there are other errors too):

I tried running memtest from grub, and it had several errors. Then tried booting from recovery, but I was thinking what to do and suddenly the screen changed to white and showed black text. I couldn't understand anything (numbers, "words" that I don't understand e.g. RAX: then numbers). The only sentence I saw was:
systemd-journal[370] exited with irqs disabled
Please help me debug this. I don't know what is going on since a couple days ago it worked perfectly.

RTL8723de or RTL88x2B USB drivers for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567309/rtl8723de-or-rtl88x2b-usb-drivers-for-ubuntu-26-04-ltsI am experiencing persistent issues with the Realtek RTL8723DE WiFi driver on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. The main problems are that the wireless signal is very slow, and after suspending the laptop, the WiFi adapter stops working entirely—no networks are detected until a reboot.
I have tried installing multiple drivers, including different versions and community-supported alternatives, but none have resolved the issue. I also configured the system to prevent the WiFi adapter from being disabled during suspension, but this did not help.
Additionally, I downgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to test compatibility with an older kernel version, but the problem persisted. As a potential hardware solution, I researched replacing the internal WiFi card with an Intel model. However, based on available information, Intel cards are not compatible with my laptop model (HP 14-dq1003la).
As an alternative, I considered purchasing a USB WiFi adapter, specifically the TP-Link Archer T3U Nano (RTL88x2B USB). However, I found reports indicating that it may also have similar driver or compatibility issues on Linux systems.
What can I do in this situation?
Cursor keeps jumping to top right of monitor randomly - Ubuntu 20.04.6LTS
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567307/cursor-keeps-jumping-to-top-right-of-monitor-randomly-ubuntu-20-04-6ltsMy cursor keeps randomly jumping to the top right of whichever monitor the cursor is on. This is rendering my PC inoperable when the behaviour is occurring as I am constantly accidentally closing windows when the cursor jumps just before I click. Sometimes it goes long periods without happening, restarting doesn't affect the behaviour, and it seems to be very random.
- This happens with 2 wireless mice, a wired mouse, and just the touchpad
- This happens when I have a mouse and disable the touchpad via settings
- Running Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
- Laptop: Dell Precision 7760, dual boot with Windows 10, with fast boot/fast power-up switched off
- Laptop has no touchscreen or touch stick
As a separate but possibly related issue, my cursor often disappears entirely (but I can still see that the mouse movements are highlighting buttons etc.), and only reappears once I've pressed the windows keys which brings up the option to switch between windows.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)

Reinstall Ubuntu (26.04) without losing the content of the /home folder
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567305/reinstall-ubuntu-26-04-without-losing-the-content-of-the-home-folderMy Ubuntu 24.04 broke after an update, I have to reinstall. In the past, it was possible during the installation to keep the datas in the /home folder. It know that it wasn't the case for version 24.04 and 24.10
How to reinstall Ubuntu in the easiest way? is now 12 years old, so I can't take into account.
I hope this feature exist again in version 26.04, but I didn't find it...
Ubuntu 26.04 dracut network configuration
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567304/ubuntu-26-04-dracut-network-configurationI'm fighting with this for a week. Read and searched a lot, That's why I decided to post my first question.
Initial setup :
Windows AD Network. Windows DHCP Servers automatically update DNS. Install Ubuntu server on Hyper-V virtual machine. This time I decide to give a shot for 26.04 LTS. Ubuntu server is with static IP address, which I define during installation process. Let's say I gave it name svr-2604 as a host name and IP: 192.168.100.100/24 gateway: 192.168.100.1 Installation went smooth exactly as it was in 24.04 LTS that I used till that moment. After installation I checked IP:192.168.100.100 and it was there. I get terminal SSH and everything was as expected. I create static record in DNS with name svr-2604 pointing to 192.168.100.100 (my usual action). I could ping and connect by terminal to SSh using this name (also as usual).
Restart Ubuntu server and for some reason I flush DNS cache on my computer. At that point I try to connect with terminal using the same name - without success. Check server - running. Ping name - no response but returning address completely different from DHCP range. Check DHCP and figure-out fresh address lease on name svr-2604 with address (let say): 192.168.100.36. IN DNS I have already two records about my server : 192.168.100.36 - dynamic from DHCP 192.168.100.100 - static
On request DNS returns first one and I can't connect to server by name.
On Ubuntu I checked log records :
journalctl | grep -i dhcp
get
svr-2604 systemd-networkd[420]: eth0: DHCPv4 address 192.168.100.36/24, gateway 192.168.100.1 acquired from 192.168.110.XXX (my dhcp server)
Check for configuration in /run/systemd/network and there I get :
-rw-r----- 1 root root 78 May 29 09:41 10-netplan-eth0.link
-rw-r----- 1 root systemd-network 222 May 29 09:41 10-netplan-eth0.network
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Apr 13 13:34 zzzz-dracut-default.network
First two are clear - result from my static address netplan configuration, but zzzz-dracut-default.network ??
Start digging and figure-out it was dynamic generated from dracut. It's content :
[Match]
Kind=!*
Type=!loopback
[Network]
DHCP=yes
[DHCPv4]
ClientIdentifier=mac
RequestOptions=17
[DHCPv6]
RequestOptions=59 60
In my opinion, this is where my problem comes. dracut on boot process leased address with my server name. When Ubuntu 26.04 boots - it takes configuration from netplan (the one that I wish to) but I finish with two different records in DNS.
What I try is to set dracut to use static address. I ended with idea that I have to give kernel command for this. Create following file : /etc/dracut.conf.d/network.conf
with following content :
kernel_cmdline="ip=192.168.100.100::192.168.100.1:24::eth0:none"
after that I regenerate image with
dracut --force and reboot
Sadly no result. At that point I gave up and decide to ask for help. This never happens with Ubuntu 24.04 or earlier.
What is may positive move to resolve this problem ?
Any help is appreciate !

GlobalProtect VPN is not connecting in Ubuntu 24.04
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567303/globalprotect-vpn-is-not-connecting-in-ubuntu-24-04Ubuntu 24.04 with GlobalProtect 6.3.3-674 is hanging at “Still working…” during Okta SAML authentication on office network. Browser portal access works manually, hotspot works, Windows works, and all SSL/DNS checks pass. Logs show GP UI starts successfully but no SAML callback completes. Could you provide a newer Linux GlobalProtect build (6.3.3-h2 / 6.3.4+) or confirm Linux support requirements for Okta SAML?

absurd system instability & Maximum number of clients reached
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567300/absurd-system-instability-maximum-number-of-clients-reachedI am seeing a resurgence of this issue...from 15 years ago: How can I diagnose/debug "maximum number of clients reached" X errors?
The symptoms are despite not being heavily loaded or up for any length of time the following happens:
- applications and context menus will simply not happen
- after closing some arbitrary window the previous application/context menu will work
- occasionally i was getting a notification about
Maximum number of clients reached, which was absurd given:- after an nvidia update basically hosed itself, I had manually rolled back my OS to it's prior state and disabled all updates - this may have been imperfect but definately worked fine for several weeks/months PRIOR to the issue of this post.
- at no time did I update anything that correlated with the change in behavior, except Discord
lsof -U +c 15 | cut -f1 -d' ' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -3certainly doesnt seem like it should be an issue
- the only other thing that could possibly have made any changes are some AI mods that i installed for Valheim via valheim.thunderstore.io (which i'm only mentioning for completeness)
- on 24.10 i followed some variations of the advice here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/714487 - to no effect. It is an X11/nvidia/pulseaudio system.
- on 26.04 i accepted the notifications suggestion to do the same as the above: increase maxclients - to no effect, but i didnt check what it actually did. It is an X11/nvidia/pipewire system.
Attempting to reinstall 24.10 and terminate its upgrades prior to the nvidia fiasco is still on the table. Despite being quite possibly a lot more hassle.
So far I'm tolerating it on 26.04 by needing to reboot once a day or more, while I investigate adapting all of my scripts etc to 26.04 (pipewire and X11). But neither of my OS partitions are really useful platforms because of this problem.
Switching to wayland is not an option at this time; due to their dependence on functionality supplied by xdotool|xprop|wmctrl|etc almost all of the audio/video/convenience scripts i rely on to stay sane are unsupportable by wayland, and anathema to the current wayland philosophy of ?sandboxing? windows, as far as i understand it so far.
Do I have A.I./linux-vulnerability koodies? Or is the primary LTS release just a lot jankier than usual?

Constant audio output changes lead to disruptive "Select Audio Device" OSD
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567297/constant-audio-output-changes-lead-to-disruptive-select-audio-device-osdI'm on the latest Ubuntu 26.04 fully patched and having audio issues.
What I think is going on is:
The snd_hda_intel driver seems to have a hard time reliably detecting my sound hardware
This results in Linux thinking that my sound hardware keeps changing
Which results in Ubuntu trying to keep up - with sometimes hundreds of changes per minute visible in the sound widget (top right corner of screen) and
Frequent On Screen Display (OSD) asking me to "Select Audio Device", which are blocking and disrupt whatever else I'm doing.
Here is what I can see in dmesg:

dmesg is FULL of "spurious response" messages - hundreds and hundreds of them.

I have read How to disable 'Select Audio Device' popup when plugging in a device and installed the suggested GNOME plugin but it has made no difference. I am NOT plugging in a new device or changing anything when this behaviour happens. It happens when I'm reading my emails, or when the system is completely idle. I can't connect this behaviour to anything I do, as a user of the system.
Sometimes, this issue is not visible for an entire day - no OSD popup. Other times, it completely blocks my ability to use the system, as I get OSD popups every few seconds, making my system completely unusable.
Here is the start of dmesg that shows you the kind of hardware I'm on (an old Dell Precision M4800 laptop):

Would very much appreciate any guidance on how to troubleshoot this, report this as a bug, or find workarounds that make my Ubuntu system reliably usable. If there is a way to disable the sound system completely when I don't need it, only to be re-enabled later, I'll happily use that as a short term workaround.
EDIT: A friend gave me the idea this may be a power management issue. It's true that this is an old laptop, and I do put it to sleep multiple times a day instead of powering off. So I thought let's explore the power management angle first. What I did was:
(1) Instruct the sound module to disable its power management features by creating this file: /etc/modprobe.d/audio-powersave.conf containing these instructions:
# Disable Intel HDA power management
options snd_hda_intel power_save=0
options snd_hda_intel power_save_controller=N
options snd_ac97_codec power_save=0
(2) Rebuilt the init ram filesystem to ensure these options are respected on boot:
sudo update-initramfs -u
(3) Reboot
(4) Check that power management of my sound driver is now off:
ubuntu:~$ cat /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
0
I am now keeping my fingers crossed, err I mean testing to see whether the bug will re-occur, and I'll report back.
Create a Python apk using pycharm on kubuntu 24.04
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567276/create-a-python-apk-using-pycharm-on-kubuntu-24-04My apologies if this isn't possible. I'm just getting to grips with using python on Linux and trying to make an app for my android phone. I have a venv set up in pycharm with all the extensions I think I need. When I go to run buildozer through the terminal in I get this error:
$ sudo buildozer android debug
...
# Run '/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install -q --user appdirs colorama>=0.3.3 jinja2 sh>=2, <3.0; sys_platform!="win32" meson ninja build toml packaging setuptools wheel~=0.43.0' ...
#Cwd None
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
I've tried running it directly in the konsole too from another venv that also has buildozer installed and I get the same error.
$source my-venv/bin/activate
cd file containing main.py
buildozer android debug
Could someone please explain to me what I need to do to fix this.
Edit: The complete konsole error

╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv for more information.
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

WWAN refuses to connect - Ubuntu 26.04 (modem Fibocom L850-GL in laptop HP ZBook 15 G6)
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567204/wwan-refuses-to-connect-ubuntu-26-04-modem-fibocom-l850-gl-in-laptop-hp-zbookI have an internal modem (Fibocom L850-GL) in my laptop (HP ZBook 15 G6), and a SIM card. I checked he WANN in Windows (dual boot) and it's okay, but the WWAN refuses to connect in Ubuntu (26.04). It might be obvious, but I did not find the solution... Some help would be highly appreciated.
Here is my provider data for the APN:
- name : Orange World
- APN: orange
- username: orange
- password: orange
- MCC : 208
- MNC : 01
- authentication: pap
- Type of mobile virtual network operator : SPN
- Value of the mobile virtual network operator : Orange F
I'm abroad, and the roaming is activated (at least, should be).
For my WWAN, I created a profile ("Orange Internet") including my provider data but MCC and MNC values are not included in this profile: I don't know if they are compulsory and did not find where to fill them in Ubuntu.
Bellow is the command line result and the logs:

SOLVED - Issue with kernel 7.0.0-15 after update from Ubuntu 25.10 to 26.04
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566991/solved-issue-with-kernel-7-0-0-15-after-update-from-ubuntu-25-10-to-26-04I have updated my Ubuntu from 25.10 version to 26.04, I received some error dusring the installation about the kernel.
At the first start I had a kernel panic error, I solved it starting my PC with the previous kernel version then I provided the following commands:
sudo update-initramfs -u -k version
Now I can boot with any problem my PC with the latest kernel available 7.0.0-15.
But I think there is a problem, if I try to update my system via terminal this is what I have:
kaotik@kaotik:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Same issue
----EDIT---- Thanks everyone for the advices. After reading around, I realized that dracut completely replaced initramfs and that their coexistence could cause problems. So I tried completely removing initramfs and checking if everything was OK with dragcut:
sudo apt purge initramfs-tools initramfs-tools-core initramfs-tools-bin
sudo apt install dracut dracut-core
sudo dracut -f --regenerate-all
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt autoremove
By running these commands the problem was solved and I no longer get the error message.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566594/unity-game-engine-having-severe-lag-spikes-from-pulseaudio-on-ubuntu-24-04-4I recently noticed that my scene in a new Unity project was lagging/getting choppy even though it was just a tilemap with a handful (~10) game objects thrown in. Looking in the profiler I found that there was a thread called “Audio PulseAudio Mixer” that seemed to be causing large frame time spikes: from ~5ms to ~125ms. This seemed strange because there is no audio in the game. No audio listener, even. Nothing that I am aware of that could remotely require any activity in an audio thread. I even have "Disable Unity Audio" checked in Project Settings.
I’m on Ubuntu 24.04.4 as a recent Windows refugee. I am aware that Unity is still a work-in-progress on Ubuntu, but I am very keen to not have to go back to Windows (or head over to Mac).
pactl info | grep 'Server Name'
returns
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.0.5)
I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (3rd Gen) audio interface, if that's at all relevant.
Many thanks for any help.

Giving Plex Media Server Access to External EXFAT Drive on 19.10.1 RaspberryPi 4 4gb
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1208132/giving-plex-media-server-access-to-external-exfat-drive-on-19-10-1-raspberrypi-4Edit2 (SUCCESS): First off, thank you to all who responded! I got my Plex server working perfectly. I didn't get email notifications with updates to the question for some reason so I just checked and got it all working.
@Terrance, I did manually create an actual mount point under "/media/HDD-M" (HDD-M s the drive name, HDD-Movies) through the initial guide I referenced. It did seem to work but Plex was still blind. Following that new mount point would lead me to my drive and allow access but made no difference to Plex. After following @user535733 response I realized the original guide I found may have allowed me to screw things up so I followed it backwards and undid everything before trying the link you posted @Terrance which worked after I messed with the mount point renaming a bit until Ubuntu was satisfied with my efforts. Just like that, it read and streamed without a hitch. For some reason, Ubuntu didn't like "/media/HDD-M" but once I changed it to "/media/SG" it worked without issue. No clue why that syntax made any sort of difference, but it did..
Either way, I really appreciate the assistance so much from you all. I was running Ubuntu fulltime ~13 years ago as a young nerdy kiddo and abandoned it when my mom got me a Macbook for graduating high school early so I forgot most of what I had learned. I plan on this getting me back into linux and eventually being proficient enough to help others like you all helped me.
Edit: I followed @user535733 instructions and immediately hit a wall at step 2 trying to edit permissions. I tried changing the file access to read and write and that seemed to work but had no effect on Plex. Upon trying to change the group I was modifying permissions for, a message came up stating I do not have permission to change the group.
I started off this incredibly frustrating journey a few weeks ago and came to this guide when plex couldn't see directories on my external: https://forums.plex.tv/t/using-ext-ntfs-or-other-format-drives-internal-or-external-on-linux/198544
This flew over my head very fast because of the way it was written, maybe I'm just an idiot and these steps really are perfectly formatted; but I couldn't ever get it to work at any point no matter how many times I tried.
Found AskUbuntu and looked through it which brought me to this post (plex folder access)
It was several years old which concerned me but I figured I would give it a shot. All the commands seemed to work fine but my drive is still inaccessible by Plex.
It is perfectly visible on my desktop, I understand this is a permissions issue with the way Linux is designed, not a fault of Plex or anything.
If anyone could help me out, I would really appreciate it because it's starting to drive me a bit crazy.

Do additional language packs need to be downloaded?
https://askubuntu.com/questions/171825/do-additional-language-packs-need-to-be-downloadedI'm installing Ubuntu (12.04) right now.
I wanted to know if additional language packs have to be downloaded because my Internet is very slow. I chose English as my language.
