Dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows. Ubuntu boot files are appearing inside an NVIDIA folder in the boot menu. The laptop model is HP Victus 15-fb1344AX. Please suggest a solution to bring Ubuntu to the main boot options."
Ubuntu 26.04 does not come with GNOME able to run X11, since GNOME ditched X11 in favor of Weyland. I am wondering, though, whether there is a possibility to install an older version of GNOME in order to get X11. Unfortunately, I require Zoom for work, and Zoom does not work with Weyland, full stop[1]. I considered the following alternatives:
Option (1) would require a lot of work. Option (2) was tried and found to be lacking (especially in the multiple monitors and drawing tablet department; it is not impossible but would require an amount of time spent on configuring that I simply don't have).
Before I go to (1), I was wondering whether someone else encountered the same problem and solved it by installing somehow an older version of GNOME which still supports X11.
[1] This is of course fault of Zoom, and there are better tools than Zoom, which are all valid points which do not change my situation.
Since a v151 Firefox supports Webserial natively. For me this is an long awaited function. But I cannot seem to find any documentation on how to get this running with the installed snap version in Ubuntu (26.04 in my case).
What I tried:
The serial port I wanted to try is popping up in the /dev folder as 'ttyACM0'
I read about webserial with Chromium (snap) where you need to connect the raw-usb to snap. But raw-usb seems not to be available for firefox
# sudo snap connect firefox:raw-usb
error: snap "firefox" has no plug named "raw-usb"
with:
sudo snap connect chromium:raw-usb
everything works as aspected but I prefer firefox
Is the snap package just not ready (yet) or is there anything else I can try?
I didn’t really know where else to go as I have exhausted all avenues at this point. A few weeks ago I noticed some discrepancies in my network and on my iPhone. Before I knew it, I realized all of my devices,WiFi, etc. had been hacked. When I went through files I narrowed it down to SQLite3 and also the person is using WiFiman to intercept all information on my WiFi and cellular network down to even following me via GPS.
When I tried to lock down my social apps, the back-end states there is hydra in it. I have already lost all of my emails, even had to shut off my phone line. My husband's phone is now being targeted, and he is unable to sign out unless he does an emergency erase. I have went to Apple, Xfinity, AT&T, Verizon and even the police.
The police stated that they haven’t seen this bad of a hack on a “normal everyday” person. They ended up referring me to the FBI. Is there something I can do? Is there someone that I can get in touch with? All I’m trying to do is raise my daughters and complete nursing school.
I have seen a number of super old questions about this with no answers. I managed to convince my company to let me use Linux, and now I'm having a really hard time using it because the pointer precision on the trackpad is horrible.
There is a setting for mouse acceleration for a regular mouse, but nothing for trackpads. Is this normal?
How can I fix it?
EDIT: It would also be great if there is a way to adjust the scrolling speed/number of lines; it seems that's only a setting for a mouse as well.
I am attempting to install ubuntu v26.04 LTS server edition (the server install image on this page) on a laptop that previously used Windows 10. The laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad (specs here) and is not currently plugged into an ethernet connection. I have followed the instructions on this page, including converting a USB stick into a bootable USB drive with Rufus, configuring the laptop to start from the usb boot device, and most of the install process in that page and this screen-by-screen tutorial. I am on the last step of the install process, where I have clicked through all of the screens that require interaction and the OS is being installed.
Now, the process seems to be stuck on one step labeled "configuring mount: mount-0". The log so far reads this:

It has been stuck here for about 2 hours. When I enter the help menu I see that there is an error report to view with the title "Block device probe failure". When I click on it the message reads "Sorry, there was a problem examining the storage devices on this system". The full error message is very long, but within it I found an asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError. I am not sure how to get the full error message off the device. Any suggestions on how to proceed with this would be appreciated. If it is stuck, is it safe to restart the computer? This page appeared pretty instantly, so I don't think that it did any serious wiping of the system yet (but I am not sure on that).
Thank you!
I run Kubuntu and while updating Ubuntu sometime ago it said it couldn't update grub-efi[...] then quit the installation while having installed 100% of the update except that one part. I restarted the machine and it was updated like normal. It's running fine as of late (except one easily fixed initram problem) but every time I update anything it says grub-efi and some other files can't be updated.
This is the output while trying to update "grub-efi-amd64-signed", "linux-headers-7.0.0-22-generic", "linux-headers-generic", "linux-generic" and "linux-image-7.0.0-22-generic":

After upgrading from 25.10 to 26.04, my activities overview (the search bar that pops up when pressing the Windows key) forgets all apps on my system. Is this a known issue?
Here is me searching for a "Settings" app shortly after a fresh login:
Here is me searching for a "Settings" app shortly after suspending and waking up my machine:
I have tried clearing various caches, but nothing has helped so far.
Edit: One kind gentleman said I might have mistyped the linux image name. I have input the command again with the spelling checked and it worked fine.
So I boot my computer and it says it's kernel panic time, because it couldn't mount unknown block.
I look up online and it says it's all about that initramfs that could be wrong after an update (which is odd because I booted this machine fine earlier today and didn't update anything) and I should boot into an earlier kernel version to update it. I do that, boot nicely, everything is working but I can't do the initramfs update, it shows this error:

Does Linux Ubuntu 25.10 come with the needed printer drivers for HP Laser Jet M207-M212?
I had a few mess ups while trying to fix my audio and I really think its beyond repair now. If I reinstall the OS will it return me back to the beginning or will stuff stay? I do not care about the files just looking to retry in fixing my audio issues.
By the old guide for Xen 4.11 and Ubuntu 14.04, the:
$ sudo apt install xen-hypervisor-amd64
$ sudo reboot
lead to booting into:
Loading Xen 4.20-amd64...
Loading Linux 7.0.0-22-generic...
Loading initial ramdisk...
This is a dead-lock state when the OS gets stuck. By the reboot it is possible to enter via GRUB menu into regular Ubuntu and configure the environment.
Using this and this guides, which are also very old, these lines are added into /etc/default/grub instead of default similar lines:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noirqbalance i915.enable_guc=0 intel_iommu=on xen-pciback.hide=(0000:00:02.0) module_blacklist=i915"
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="dom0_mem=8192M,max:8192M dom0_max_vcpus=4 iommu=on,no-igfx,verbose"
Then sudo update-grub && sudo update-initramfs -c -k 7.0.0-22-generic && sudo reboot . In Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Xen 4.20 this also leads into getting stuck on Loading initial ramdisk...
Running these "guards" under root permissions is considered to reserve the GPU for Xen:
tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-i915.conf << EOF
blacklist i915
EOF
tee /etc/modprobe.d/xen-pciback.conf << EOF
options xen-pciback hide=(0000:00:02.0)
EOF
update-initramfs -u
reboot
However, this does not help either. The boot gets stuck on Loading initial ramdisk...
I am struggling to find up-to-date documentation for Xen. Last official manuals are ending at Xen 4.9, now we're at 4.20.
I tried to install Ubuntu with SSD encryption and without, with Intel TXT enabled and disabled. The result is the same.
This solution was also tried. It results in total skip of Xen boot and loading plain Ubuntu, as expected by the solution but not clear how did it help in that case.
Xen Gurus, what else should be set, changed, deleted, updated in the Ubuntu 26.04 to run Xen 4.20 and provide to VMs passthrough access to GPU?
I've recently reinstalled my OS and switched to a newer version of the OS at the same time (Kubuntu 26.04 LTS from Kubuntu 22.04 LTS), and I've noticed that Firefox appears to now be using Gnome, as my Application Style settings aren't applying to it. Instead my preferences in the "Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style" settings apply to it, however, that doesn't give me the customisations I want; for example I can't change the size of the titlebar buttons, and it doesn't respect the titlebar buttons I have set (for example Keep below/above other windows is missing).
Is there a way to get Firefox to use the native titlebar? Thunderbird has no issue doing this, and I'm confident Firefox respected the native title bar in 22.014 LTS. If not, how do I change preferences like Window Decorations and button sizes? I did find How can I get Firefox to use the KDE style?, however, the age of the post, and the repo for the project hasn't been updated for 10 years suggests to me that this isn't a solution.
For reference, as well, I'm using the Debian Package install for Firefox, and I'm currently running version 151.0.2.
Oddly, some windows, when I open them, do respect the native title bar. For example, you can see below that the about window is respecting the native titlebar, but the browser window in not.

The only advice I found online is to configure grub to force ACPI shutdown, but is that a good solution, or will it ruin my system over time?
Is there a better fix for this?

I am trying to install Linux Mint from a USB stick. I downloaded the iso image from Ubuntu and create the bootable stick using Make Startup Disk. I have disabled secure boot on BIOS but still can't boot from USB drive. I wanted to disable UEFI but there is no option for that. Laptop is a HP 15s-eq3010nt with AMD Ryzen 5 5625U cpu.
On Ubuntu 24.04.4, with a Brother MFC-L2700DW printer and Proton VPN. I used to be able to print without any issues. Then I started having a problem where, when I initiate a print job, I get system messages every few minutes that say "Printing", but the printer is not doing anything.
Searching around online, I found the suggestion to use systemctl restart cups-browsed
which did solve the problem once or twice (maybe with some restarting, I don't remember anymore that was a while ago).
But now I'm trying to print something and getting this "Printing" hang problem and I've tried the above command and restarting and nothing has helped. No idea what to try next. Thanks.
Update: I just tried a new thing which is turning off my Proton VPN. I do not remember exactly when I installed that vs. when this problem began, but maybe it was about the same time! So maybe restarting cups-browsed did nothing, but maybe restarting the computer helped because Proton doesn't come on automatically, so if I restarted and then went straight to printing, the VPN would have been off.
Yes, this is relevant. VPN off, I can print. VPN on, the printing hangs in the way I described above. No restart needed to get printing going again, just turn off the VPN, cancel the job that is hanging, and initiate a new print job and it works. I went back and forth several times.
I am leaving this question active because it would be awesome to be able to just print and not have to worry about thinking about is my VPN on or not. Added VPN to the title and tags.
I recently installed Ubuntu 26.04 on my Acer laptop with Ryzen 240 and RTX5050. There are two problems. First I have some random display glitch occurring for a brief moment every minute or two. Second I can't make Steam use my dGPU for games. I tried NVIDIA X Server Settings and tried to launch Steam with DRI-PRIME=1, but it always runs with iGPU and says inconsistent number for dri prime. What can I do about it?
I 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?
I'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 !

I'm new to Linux, and I've installed Ubuntu 26.04 on an old laptop.
I've installed Tor browser and have tried to download a file, but as soon as the save or run box appears and I click OK, the browser window closes. From what I've read so far, it seems to be due to the way I installed it. Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to allow Tor to download files? If anyone can answer this, I need specific instructions on how to do this.
When I try to save the files, I get the pop-up window asking if I want to either open it or save it. The Save button is already selected and when I click OK, Tor just closes. I tried it with the built-in Firefox web browser that came with Ubuntu and it seems to work fine.
I recently upgraded my PI to 26.04 and I have an arduino with radio (MySensors.org) serial gateway that stopped receiving data though it worked ofr years before.
CH341 device may be concerned, though port is here

When I launch the device on the Intel ubuntu 24.04 or windows, it works fine as reporting all messages.
My personal guess is this is due to sssd

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and have an Intel AX200 Wifi 6 (Gig+) wifi/bluetooth card. My wifi works just fine but my operating system doesn't seem to recognize that the card also supports bluetooth.
Unlike Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Troubleshooting: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Intel AX200, my "Software & Updates" only shows my GPU not the wifi/bluetooth card. I have tried installing the driver for "Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz" from https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi, copying it into /lib/firmware, and rebooting but that didn't seem to work either.
Here is the result when I run dmesg | grep iwl. Let me know if you need more information!

I have the newest release of Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows Server 2008 R2. On the Windows Server I have a device management agent which keeps track of all the devices in the local area network as well as any information of these devices and alerts sent from these devices. I am trying to enable and setup SNMP on the Ubuntu desktop. It is a virtual machine in Virtual Box. I know on a Windows 7 desktop you need to set it up so that it accepts SNMP packets from the Windows Server as well as set up a community name (i.e. private/public) with a trap destination of the Windows Server. How do I go about this in Ubuntu?
On occasion I receive forms to fill in as PDFs intended for printing (these are not true PDF forms, they do not contain fields). I would like to type onto them, and perhaps add a scanned copy of my signature. This way I could just email them back. Is this possible?
