I have 5 machines running ubuntu 24.04. After upgrading some packages and rebooting, wakeonlan doesn't seem to work on any of my machines.

The machines are plugged in, and the ethernet port has lights blinking, so the network card should be awake.

I'm not sure whether the problems are due to upgrading packages or something else. I presume that this is a software problem that resulted from package upgrades changing a configuration file / variable somewhere.

Router is TP-Link AX3000. I rebooted and upgraded my router when trying to diagnose the issues, although I'm pretty confident the router is not an issue. Wake On Lan has worked before I upgraded the router firmware, and it has been working for at least a couple years prior to this week. However, there did seem to be an issue with receiving the magic packets when broadcasting to the local network (documented below). Not sure if this is a new issue, or is simply expected behavior.

I have tried to follow the guide here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wake-on-LAN. I'm out of ideas for what the problem is.

I can post additional files as necessary. Help is much appreciated!

Here is a sample from one of my machines:

The wakeonlan version I use is wakeonlan/noble,now 0.41-12.1 all [installed].

Ethernet should be nao3eth0.

I can receive the magic packets with the machine address. The broadcast address seems to fail, which seems odd. Prior to the upgrade, wakeonlan 34:17:eb:ce:b8:af was sufficient to wakeonlan remotely. I believe this is a separate issue, because wakeonlan is not working whether I specify the ip_address or not.

I was unable to provide all the variables for sysctl since it went over the character limit. I can provide further information upon request.

I believe the problems started occurring after the upgrade on last Friday, 2026-02-13.

When I boot from my installation flash drive and go with "try ubuntu" pointer is responding fine. I have power max 3 hours a day in between long shutdowns. I have a job interview on Thursday. Your help is badly needed.

On Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, the Screen Pad on my ASUS VivoBook S14 S432F is detected as a secondary display. Is there any existing Linux tool, ACPI module, or reverse-engineered driver that allows toggling Screen Pad 2.0 between display mode and touch pad mode?. I want to be able to toggle it between a touch pad and a secondary screen display. I am using an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz (2.11 GHz) and intel(R) HDU graphics.

I have "Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS"

I don't use the desktop very much, it's been months since I've tried to launch Firefox. This time, it failed. When I try to launch from the cli, I get

cannot set memlock limit to 524288:524288: Operation not permitted

Same error with chromium-browser. I have no idea what that means.
When I look at the installed version, I see:
apt list firefox

firefox/jammy,now 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 amd64 [installed]

This surprises me, I did not think firefox has anything to do with snap. But whatever, I just want it to work again. What should I do?

I have been trying to create a simple router for a very simple website with PHP and apache2, but I keep getting 404 messages.
Before you go through this lengthy post, I did add DocumentRoot in nt2.conf in sites-available. I have not added it anywhere else.

I created a new directory called /var/www/nt2 (on Ubuntu 25.10). In there I created this

/var/www/nt2  
   index.php (contains the router)  
   .htaccess  
   views  
      home.php  
      contact.php  
      users.php  
      404.php  

Apache runs fine. PHP has been installed successfully, I have version 8.4.11. I can get any page if I fill in the full path. For example : localhost/views/contact.php. That works, but localhost/contact does not work at all and produces a 404 error.
I'm quite the beginner, but this is not complicated code and I just don't see what I'm not doing right.

This is index.php, I copied it from an article.

<?php  
$request = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];  
$viewDir = __DIR__ . '/views';  
switch ($request) {  
    case '':  
    case '/':  
        require  $viewDir . 'home.php';  
        break;  
    case '/users':  
        require  . 'users.php';  
        break;  
    case '/contact':  
        require $viewDir . 'contact.php';  
        break;  
    default:  
        http_response_code(404);  
        require $viewDir . '404.php';  
}  
?\>  
  

The files in the views folder are all like this:

<?php   
echo "<h1>Contact me</h1>  
<p>Email me: memyselfandI@hotmail.com</p>"  
?>  

Nothing fancy.

I adjusted apache2.conf:
I added the ServerName at the bottom to get rid of a message: (AH00558 - could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain.

ServerName  
127.0.0.1  

I also added this :

<Directory /var/www/nt2/>  
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks  
        AllowOverride None  
        Require all granted  
</Directory>  

I tried changing AllowOverride to All (I did the same thing for <Directory /var/www/> which exists in the default version. Nothing changed so I changed it back to None in both directories.

I created a configuration file in sites-available called nt2.conf and entered these commands: (The domain doesn't really exist btw.)

ServerName www.nt2.com  
ServerAlias nt2  
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost  
DocumentRoot /var/www/nt2  

Then I ran:
a2ensite nt2.conf
a2dissite 000-default.conf

I also ran:

ufw allow http    
ufw allow https # I don't remember why I did that.      
ufw allow ssh    
ufw allow 'Apache Full' # I found that in an article. 

There's an .htaccess which I got from the same article.

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteRule  . /index.php [L]  

I more or less understand what it means, but I did just copy it. I've also tried commenting everything out, but it makes no difference.

I ran a2enmod rewrite

In mods-available I made changes in userdir.conf

UserDir nt2  
UserDir disabled root  
  
<Directory /var/www/nt2>  
        AllowOverride All  
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks  
        Require all granted  
</Directory>  

I ran a2enmod userdir :

I adjusted php.init and added /var/www/nt2 to include_path (I had an error message).

I looked at all the permissions. /var/www/nt2 is owned by me, $USER. The default folder html is owned by root. All files and directories inside the folder are owned by me.

I added myself to www-data group. (I read that somewhere.)

Nothing works. I'm at the end of my tether and I really cannot figure this out.

I commented out the following in mods-available/php8.4.conf

#<IfModule mod_userdir.c>  
#    <Directory /home/*/public_html>  
#        php_admin_flag engine Off  
#    </Directory>  
#</IfModule>  

I ran a2enmod php8.4

I'm not getting any other error messages. Just the 404.
I reloaded and restarted apache2 a million times.
I ran all the a2blabla commands again and again.

Nope.
I am so tired. I tried ChatGPT. It assured me that my router logic was wrong, gave me more complicated code. It doesn't work at all. I have the impression I don't know what the right question is because I don't know what I don't know. If I do know what I don't know, I can ask good questions and figure it out. I agree this is flimsy code, but I do intend to replace it with classes and a router.php and everything spic and span. I just feel if I understand this bit well, the more complicated stuff will be easier to digest.

I have 6 VLANS and a WiFi connection. None of the networks interact. They can connect to things on their network and the public Internet. I was trying to use iproute2 source based routing and I guess I am not understanding something. The SSH session connects and its traffic flows correctly but anything try goes out the default network. Any assistance or direction to documents would be appreciated.

Setup: Ubuntu 24.04 IPROUTE2 tables I connect to 192.168.202.245 and I need all traffic my session generates to use 192.168.202.1 as a gateway But you will see from the ping it is using the WiFi network. If I down the WiFi, I can still connect and my session works, but I can not send any other traffic out.

I have installed Ubuntu 24.04 on a MacBook Air. The WiFi doesn't work.

If I try one of the solutions available on the internet it doesn't work because the WiFi doesn't work to download what is needed to have it work. The device doesn't have an Ethernet port.

How do I overcome this problem?

I have one instance of Microcloud setup on my LAN network, and cant find any real documentation regarding how to set it up across WAN. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the following situation:

and need to resize my /boot partition at the very beginning of the drive. Now, unfortunately for some poor design when I installed Ubuntu I set my EFI partition in between the /boot and the root partition (/) of roughly 1TB.

My goal would be to shrink the / for ~650MB to add to the /boot; however, it appears this would necessarily pass through the EFI – which is something I'm aware should not be touched...

So, my question is it safe to do it or I should leave things as they are? I'm asking since I haven't allocated enough space for multiple updates at the same time, and I'm always forced to promptly removed unsed headers in order to update/upgrade the system. Thanks in advance!

Following along the steps below, this is where I'm at: and then

in the image above it appears I'm unable to edit the /boot/efi partition size...

I am trying to use Thunderbird email system for several email addresses. The Godaddy/Microsoft combination gives an error 12 when set up. The setup was done multiple times (adding and deleting the account, deleting passwords, etc.) trying many things. The details are:

Incoming

• Imap
• outlook.office365.con
• 993
• SSL/TLS
• OAuth2

Outgoing

• SMTP.office365.com
• 587
• Starttls
• Oauth2

The account gets set up and is confirmed but will not pass any data. Getting an error 12.
Godaddy is no help.

Gmail and yahoo accounts work great but not Godaddy. Any ideas?

Trying to use this:

A third option is to do a re-install of the operating system but do not format and just 'overwrite' your existing installation. Boot to the install media and go through the install process as usual.When you get to the partitioner to allocate drive space, depending on the version you are installing check the box marked 'Manually select partitions' or 'Something else' and click forward. Use the SAME user name and password as the existing account when setting up again. Find your existing installation and you must UNCHECK all the 'format' boxes and mount the partitions in the same place they are now. As long as no 'format' boxes are checked, no data will be lost in your home folder and the system files will be overwritten with the originals. You should then complete all system updates again.

but I get to here using Ubuntu 24.04.3 Desktop AMD64 iso on bootable USB:

and can go no further using these instructions... my Ubuntu location to re-install to is sda5, which I can mount at /, but it won't let me uncheck the format box - so probably the wrong mount point to do this - other options are:

/boot

/home

/tmp

but are not where it needs to be re-installed to.

Reading on below, it appears format is forced due to Ubuntu not fixing their installer glitch and instead resorting to this inconvenience...

Well, except for the ‘nautilus, and nautilus type window pop-up corruption”, my Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.3LTS AMD64 system runs perfect - can still manipulate files via terminal and bypass nautilus, just click on the download link in my email (which just defaults to my Downloads folder, instead of save as which tries to pop-up the nautilus type window that crashes)… and the more complex work can be done using my Windows 10 laptop that works really great :-P

Some community members have suggested a similar question that may solve your problem.

Do any of these answer your question?

How to reinstall Ubuntu in the easiest way?

this link goes to something written eleven years ago (geeze!) - CURRENT 24.04 dos not permit re-install - forces format to get around ubuntu glitch - see notes in my 'answer' (ie praying for ubuntu to fix their desktop installer to permit non-destructive re-install!)

I recently cleared my laptop of Windows and installed Ubuntu Budgie 24.04.3 LTS. It is a 2018 Razer Blade 15 Adv. I have two problems.

1. I installed OpenRazer, which also includes enrolling a MOK. It seems to randomly forget the MOK. It cannot load OpenRazer until I re-enroll the MOK again. Is there something that would remove the MOK automatically?

2. Sometimes the system will lock up tight and I have to force reboot. The special key (PrtSc) to talk directly to the kernel doesn't work to reboot. I have to force power off. The special key works when not frozen. Also with this comes the MOK being removed from the boot and OpenRazer not loading. Where would I look to figure out what is causing these lock ups? I have checked the logs, but nothing jumps out.

I am facing an audio issue on Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 (Intel) running Ubuntu 24.04.

When I plug in wired headphones Ubuntu detects them correctly, but no sound is heard through the headphones. Audio either continues playing through the laptop speakers or becomes silent.

This appears to be a jack routing / Realtek audio issue.

System information:

• Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 (Intel)
• CPU: Intel
• Audio: Intel HDA + Realtek codec
• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (fresh + fully updated)
• Audio stack: PipeWire (default)

I recently installed Ubuntu on an Acer Chromebook 14 CB3-431 laptop. It appears the installation did not recognize my touchpad. Is there a fix to the problem? Thanks

I am newly assigned to take care of a VPS:

root@server#lsb_release -a
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

I'd like to remove the Node Version Manager nvm, but apparently it persists!

I have done the following:

apt-get remove nvm

rm -r /usr/local/nvm

rm -r ~/.nvm

root@server:~# whereis nvm
nvm:
root@server:~# which nvm
root@server:~# strace nvm
strace: Can't stat 'nvm': No such file or directory

but when I ask for the Version:

root@server:~# nvm --version
0.39.7

Where is this coming from? Thanks in advance :-)

After upgrading to 21.04 my notebook freezes in login screen. If I start without gdm, the message I see in console is "Topaz is not supported in kfd" It works fine with 'nomodeset' in grub. My graphics card is: Topaz XT [Radeon R7 M260/M265 / M340/M360 / M440/M445 / 530/535 / 620/625 Mobile]

Is it a misconfiguration or wrong driver installed?

Thanks in advance.

I have an ODT file with blank lines between lines of text. I want to search for a term and output the whole group of text where there is a match to the term. My approach is to say that the blank lines in the ODT file are the record separators. ODT files are zip archives with the text contained in content.xml. After unzipping the ODT file, I have used xmllint --format content.xml to insert newlines (as below) and "blank" lines are actually lines without text in between > and <. So I want to set RS to be any such line that does not have text between > and <. If the formatted content.xml file is as follows:

<long line of alphanumerics, slashes, single and double quotes><more or the same><and many more>

So far I've tried to run this command by downgrading curl to 7.33, upgrading to 7.68 and even reinstalled my OS and tried this command but its always shows me same error. I've been scratching my head to solve this problem for last 2 night any suggestion or solution would be much appreciated.

This applies to Nautilus, Gedit, and others. I would like to select, for example, Copy and Paste from a drop down menu, but I am forced to use either the right-click menu or Ctrl-C Ctrl-V shortcuts, because the drop-down menus are non-existent. These menus provided easy access for many essential functions, and I would like to use them on Ubuntu 18.04.

This image (from Ubuntu 16.04) shows the drop-menu feature I'm looking for.

I know there are similar questions about this issue, but the answers are not definitive and recommend installing Gnome Global Application Menu, which does not implement this feature properly. Also, there are rumors that this shell extension is no longer supported. In either case, it doesn't work.

I've tried several settings, installed Gnome Tweak Tool, logged in with Unity User interface, but nothing works. It doesn't matter if the menus are located in the window's title bar or the top menu bar, as long as they are available somewhere.

My question is: Is it even possible to have these drop-down menus, or should I just give up and stop wasting my time?

My apache root /var/www/html/ contains the following folders.

1. myapp
2. test
3. testapp

I want to create a new user to access only testapp folder (read/write). Other folders shouldn't be read.

I created a new user for for the group www-data (as www-data is the owner of the /var/www/html/) and I'm able to login via ssh as well. Now the problem is the new user is having access to all the 3 folders above. I need to restrict the user to have access only to testapp folder. (Other folders shouldn't be read by the new user)

Some people suggested to use chroot but it is unclear for me. Is there any way to restrict the www-data user only to a specific folder?

I currently have a 128GB SSD. Its using encryption that comes with Ubuntu.

What's the best way to clone this to another SSD that's bigger and then expand the partition to be bigger to fit this new larger SSD?

Can I just clone the disk like for like, and then use something like Gparted to expand the partition? Or does it not work like that with the encryption ?

Any help would be appreciated.

I can see normal letter but not connected letters (i.e ক + ে = কে). Same thing is happening in gnome-mplayer.

Is any media player can render complex Bangla unicode in screen?

I have a Logitech G430 headset, that comes with 7.1 surround sound.

So, I tried to install gromacs 4.6.3 and 4.6.5.

but when I tried it says gromacs not found.

and "The program "genbox" is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gromacs"

so I did that. what I have now is gromacs 4.5.5.

I want 4.6.3 or 4.6.5

How can I delete the 4.5.5 and have the 4.6.3?

Thanks

According the manual below

https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-terminal/stable/pref-scrolling.html.en

There is an option (Edit ▸ Profile Preferences ▸ Scrolling) "Scrollbar visibility" so that you can choose from the following options:

• Always visible: Scrollbar is visible at all times.

• Visible only when necessary: Scrollbar is visible only when terminal output exceeds the length of Terminal window size.

• Hidden: Scrollbar is always hidden from view.

But in Ubuntu 12.04 (I removed unity so the scrollbar is the old style), there is no such option. The scrollbar is always shown even I didn't type anything.

How to change this, please.
