My ubuntu 24.04 might be having some problematic keyboard settings. How do I find it? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568634/my-ubuntu-24-04-might-be-having-some-problematic-keyboard-settings-how-do-i-fin
I use the terminal quite frequently and last night I notice something strange. I could switch to my other tabs in the gnome-terminal with Alt+number as always, except if the key was Alt+2. I kept trying the keyboard shortcut with the left Alt key but it would not work and I later found out that the right alt key allows the shortcut to work. But that is an incovenience since my muscle memory favors left Alt for switching. 

I tried using `gsettings reset` and I restarted the computer but gave up after the situation persisted. However, I was typing out something and tried to write 'Geoffrey west' with a capital 'w' and noticed that a capital 'w' was not being typed. That is weird since I can clearly type a capital 'G'.

I have read these stackoverflow answers 
1. 'https://superuser.com/a/821256'
2. 'https://askubuntu.com/questions/1410523/why-some-keys-doesnt-work-on-my-ubuntu-laptop'

1. suggests using `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` but the answer did not tell how to know the correct keyboard for a hp-15-dyxxx laptop keyboard. The default keyboard there as was revealed with

debconf-show keyboard-configuration


is **Generic 105-key PC**. Below is the full output
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied

I also want to note that while the left shift is not working with 'w', with the right shift, I can produce 'W'. Again that is not convenient. I notice similarly with xev that while 'w' and right shift keys will trigger an event separately, 'w' will not trigger any event when right shift is pressed down. What can I do to get my keyboard working properly again?

Dual boot fails on Lenovo ThinkCentre with Windows 10 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568631/dual-boot-fails-on-lenovo-thinkcentre-with-windows-10

Initially I succeeded in installing Ubuntu 24.04 in parallel to Windows 10, but even after repairing the boot partition with Boot-Repair (https://paste.debian.net/hidden/bc192e4d) I don't get the system working, because it fails to find the boot partition.

Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihr BIOS von sda (ATA SAMSUNG MZ7LH480) startet!

Die Startdateien für [sda4 (end>100GB)] liegen weit hinten auf der Festplatte. Ihr BIOS könnte sie nicht erkennen. Bitte legen Sie eine Partition vom Typ /boot an und versuchen es ggf. erneut. (EXT4, >200MB, Anfang des Datenträgers). Das könnte mit Werkzeugen wie gParted geschehen. Danach wählen Sie diese Partition über Option [Separate /boot-Partition:] von [Startreparatur]. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)Bitte setzen Sie Ihr BIOS in den Legacy-Modus, um Ihr Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS zu starten, und geben Sie dann den Befehl [sudo update-grub] ein, um den Eintrag Windows in Ihr GRUB-Menü aufzunehmen.

I hesitate to follow the advice to increase sda1 on linux because it would end up in resizing sda2 (Windows 7/8/10 partitions should only be modified by windows tools!?) ...

The final advice of boot-repair '... Finally select sda1 as [Separate /boot-Partition:] in register [Startreparatur] ...) could not be followed, because on my live-ubuntu sda1 wasn't detected, thus it couldn't be selected. ...

What would be the best solution?

Would it be possible to follow the aforementioned advice while running Boot-Repair from a live image or isn't sda1 big enough? Is there a console command to point from sda1 to sda4?

Open new xterm window with different PS1 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568630/open-new-xterm-window-with-different-ps1

I'm trying to open a new xterm window with a different PS1. I've tried:

xterm -e '/bin/bash -i -l -c "export PS1=foo"'

This immediately closes xterm. So I tried:

xterm -hold -e '/bin/bash -i -l -c "export PS1=foo"'

which keeps xterm open, but I can't use it, i.e.: there is no prompt. Then played around with various options like:

xterm  -e  "export PS1=foo; $SHELL"

and so on ... But none seem to work. Can you please help?

$ xterm -version

Ubuntu App Center asking authorization multiple times with warning that source can't be trusted https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568629/ubuntu-app-center-asking-authorization-multiple-times-with-warning-that-source-c

I recently performed a clean install of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and after a few days of which, today, I went to update the apps on my App Center. I clicked the Install All button and normally I was asked to authorize the install, and I did it. After that, the authorization screen popped up again. One thing I noted this time was that the authorization screen also had some warning saying something like the source can't be trusted or so. I've only installed manually from sources that are verified in the App Center (those with the green badge with a tick mark). For unofficial sources, I opted for .deb official packages or direct from their websites. Why am I still getting such warnings? Is this normal or should I worry? Here's a screenshot of the packages that I was trying to update.

enter image description here

Also when I pressed the Cancel button of the authorization dialog, the dialog re-appeared, always! This was just forcing me to authorize by showing it repeatedly even when pressing the Cancel button. And a couple of times I did re-authorize.

Display Brightness Slider Not Working https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568627/display-brightness-slider-not-working

Xubuntu 26.04 - the display brightness slider in the upper panel area is not working anymore, moving it just has no effect.

I added this command line:

xrandr --output eDP1 --brightness 0.7

to the Session and Startup panel - autostart

but obviously the power manager seems to overrule this entry - it also shows no effect other than reducing the brightness after startup for about one second and then going up to 100 % again.

Does anyone has an advice for this issue? Thanks!

How to remove the startup splash screen's spiky spinner? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568626/how-to-remove-the-startup-splash-screens-spiky-spinner

As far as spinners go, this one is probably not the best out there. Is there a way to swap it out for a calmer, more neutral spinner, or disable it entirely? The one in 25.10 was just fine

Can not log into Ubuntu Pro [closed] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568623/can-not-log-into-ubuntu-pro

I can not log into Ubuntu Pro as it gives me a 502 error Bad Gateway. I am trying to activate Ubuntu Pro on Ubuntu 26.04. I have a Ubuntu One account but in that account there is no place to activate Ubuntu Pro. Not sure how I will be notified once you have sorted out your website as one can not log into your Ubuntu Pro website either as it gives a bad gateway error. It is not GUFW as that is disabled.

Mounting remote home folder at boot https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568622/mounting-remote-home-folder-at-boot

I'm struggling to mount my remote home folder at boot on my client machine. I want to display in the /home on the client directly the content within my home folder on the server. There are no problems with multiple users, i'm the only one. User name and password are exactly the same on the server as on the client (verified 100 times:)). Folder on the server has rights of 0774, location is /home/username.

The server is running Ubuntu 22.04.5. The client is running the latest Ubuntu. The installation of the client is totally fresh. I installed

ssh and the other things that are mentioned in most of the posts.

Who could me provide with the necessary steps to follow for this basic-setting?

Looking forward to your reactions and tips. Thanks

The server is running samba to make it possible for a windows machine to connect, which is working well even with access to home folders on the server.

All the answers i've seen are not working for the Ubuntu client. Somehow i must be missing something because it couldn't be such a pain in the ass to connect 2 Ubuntu machines this way.

Print job stuck on pending on Ubuntu 24.04 with Canon MF230 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568621/print-job-stuck-on-pending-on-ubuntu-24-04-with-canon-mf230

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.4 on x86_64 PC with Canon MF230 connected via Ethernet. Printing a pdf file from Okular worked just fine last night, but stopped today. PC reboot and power cycling the printer didn't help. Here are the screenshots showing the print job permanently stuck on pending:

The scanning works just fine, but the printing doesn't. Any clues will be greatly appreciated.

Printing from another Ubuntu 24.04.4 PC goes into processing mode for a few seconds and stops in paused mode.

Printing from Windows PC works fine.

Ubuntu 26.04 upgrade breaks all the man pages https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568620/ubuntu-26-04-upgrade-breaks-all-the-man-pages

I upgraded from Ubuntu 24.04 to Ubuntu 26.04 using sudo do-release-upgrade -d and now man (manual) pages aren't working. I tried man atoi and I get No manual entry for atoi although compiling that with gcc worked fine, but the absence of man pages is bothering me.

Issue with Fresh install of Kubuntu 26.04 on Thinkpad T490 with nvme m.2 2230 ssd connected to the WVAN port https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568614/issue-with-fresh-install-of-kubuntu-26-04-on-thinkpad-t490-with-nvme-m-2-2230-ss

I had a Thinkpad T490 with a 256 gb nvme 2280 ssd loading Windows11.

I want to instal Kubuntu 26.04 on this laptop. For this I got another 256gb nvme 2230 ssd and connected it to the WVAN port of the laptop.

Windows recognised this drive correctly. Then I boot from Kubuntu LiveUSB and that recognises both the drives as well.

I installed Kubuntu on the new ssd with a partition configuration of 300mb fat32 partition mounted to /boot/efi and boot flag on, and the rest of the drive formatted to ext4 mounted to /.

Install process goes on smoothly and it says Finished. However on reboot (after removing the liveusb), it directly boots to Windows without the dual boot options.

So as suggested in a youtube video, I removed the original 2280 ssd and then reinstalled Kubuntu on the new 2230 ssd using the liveusb (this time used Erase Disk option instead of manual partitioning).

This time again, the install went on smoothly, but when I rebooted after removing the liveusb, it doesn't show boot screen at all. Instead the BIOS asks for a medium to boot from.

I'd like to mention that in case of both installs, Kubuntu shows in the BIOS boot priority list and it didn't work even after putting it on the top of the list.

I am returning to linux after 15 years, so please be patient with me.

Can't directly see the pictures (thumbnails) in my folders https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568613/cant-directly-see-the-pictures-thumbnails-in-my-folders

I can't directly see the pictures when there are some in the folders, I see the generic picture icon instead of the actual pictures. How to change that ?

Yes "show the thumbnails" is activated on "all files" in the preferences.

I tried debugging with ChatGPT, to no avail.

Thanks

Help with the resizing of my Ubuntu dual boot partition https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568513/help-with-the-resizing-of-my-ubuntu-dual-boot-partition

Space repartition:

Space repartition

Inability to scroll to the left with the slider:

enter image description here

I had lots of unused space on my (almost) unused Windows partition, so I wanted to switch it to Ubuntu. When I open gparted, here's what the diagram looks like:

[EFI system partition] -> [Microsoft boot partition] -> [Basic data partition (Microsoft's storage)] -> free space -> [Ubuntu partition].

The problem is that given that Ubuntu is at the right of the space I want to add to it, I can't fuse to the left nor move with gparted. I don't know what to do to be able to fuse the two.

At this point I'm almost ready to uninstall Ubuntu and create a new partition with more space. I've also seen that you can create a live USB key. If that's less far-fetched than all the black magic required to fuse a partition to the left, I'll take it.

SOLUTION : formatting a USB stick with Rufus and put Ubuntu 26.04 on it as an ISO image. You can go up to the BIOS by rebooting your computer and smashing F2 (or F10, F12 depending on your brand). Put USB-HDD in n°1 priority, it will allow you to launch Ubuntu from the stick. You can then use GPARTED to move the other partitions on the computer safely.

HDMI audio broken in noble numbat and resolute racoon https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568473/hdmi-audio-broken-in-noble-numbat-and-resolute-racoon

I use an Asus E510 laptop. After upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 the left audio channel is now shared across both speakers on the output device (my TV) and the right channel audio signal is not sent.

Clean booting into Ubuntu 24.04 or Ubuntu 26.04 from a live disk also causes the problem, so it is not a problem caused by a damaged or jumbled upgrade. Clean booting back into Ubuntu 22.04 from a live disk fixes the problem again, so it is not a setting on my TV nor is there anything wrong with my laptop or HDMI cable. I have also tested with multiple HDMI cables to be sure.

There are also issues with the new 5.1 and 7.1 HDMI output modes in Ubuntu 24.04 and onward where the right side channels do not respond appropriately.

This is an untenable situation.

I need help with support for TP-Link UB600 Bluetooth Dongle on Kubuntu 26.04 please https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568248/i-need-help-with-support-for-tp-link-ub600-bluetooth-dongle-on-kubuntu-26-04-ple

I've been trying to get my UB600 Bluetooth dongle to work, however it seems that it's not compatible out of the box. In fact, there's only 1 place with a solution how to get it to work however it seems the explanation on how to do it goes over my head. I've tried using what they gave me in konsole but some things just error and I can't seem to get around that. The fix I've been attempting is this. The issue I'm having is, it detects the Bluetooth dongle, but the computer is then unable to detect any Bluetooth devices at all. The lsusb is exactly as shown on that link as is the journalctl.

Results of lsusb | grep -i 'tp-link':

Is there any chance somebody could explain to me like I'm a 5 year old how to apply that patch, or better yet, create a solution for me? I am running Kubuntu 26.04 on kernel 7.0.0-27-27.

Edit: Following "david" in the comments advice results.

kernel panic fatal exception in interrupt ubuntu 26 linux 7.0.0-15 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567211/kernel-panic-fatal-exception-in-interrupt-ubuntu-26-linux-7-0-0-15

After upgrading from Ubuntu 25. to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, randomly when starting Thunderbird the screen freezes and says "kernel panic fatal exception in interrupt" After restart it continues to work, but randomly crashes again?

My windows get auto-resized (usually shrunk but at times expanded) when coming out of the screensaver https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565111/my-windows-get-auto-resized-usually-shrunk-but-at-times-expanded-when-coming-o

Each time my computer goes to sleep the windows change their size. Sometimes they appear bigger, but most of the time, they are smaller. It's hard to tell by how much. Maybe a "titlebar" smaller/larger. It also changes the width by a pretty much similar amount.

I already experienced that issue in Ubuntu 18.04 (I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 now) when using VirtualBox, but now this happens in my regular installation. I'm not too sure what I could possibly try to avoid this issue. It makes no sense to me that the windowing system would just randomly resize windows without user interaction.

Have you experienced a similar situation? Do you have a solution to this problem?

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04
  • WM: GNOME Shell 46.0
  • Gnome Extensions
    • System Monitor
    • System Restart (showing a button once a restart is required)
    • Failed Services
    • Date/Time with seconds
    • 12 Screens (Cmd-F1 to Cmd-F12)
  • I move the bar with icons to the bottom of the screen

Other than that, it's pretty normal in regard to the Gnome system. I don't think I have anything special. I primarily use:

  • Firefox
  • OpenOffice (Calc/Writer)
  • Thunderbird
  • Opera
  • Gnome Terminal

I also use the tweaks to have some things work normally like the auto-focus of windows by the mouse without having the clicks bring windows to the front.


Update:

I don't know if I changed something, but after a few reboots it started to work as expected and it has not gone back to that weird auto-resize mode on screensaver cycles. So I'm happy now. :)

Ubuntu 24.04 : The package cache file is corrupted https://askubuntu.com/questions/1531181/ubuntu-24-04-the-package-cache-file-is-corrupted

twice I got this cache error. I do not recall how I fixed it the first time. Had done search on internet but some solution did not fix it or could not apply to my situation.

It happened 5-10 minutes after I had purged Chrome that I had installed.

Why is it even happening?

Why does the package have a (1) at the end? Is it a duplicate file?

Fujitsu Siemens P756 PC does not boot and does not enter BIOS menu after update to 22.04.01 LTS https://askubuntu.com/questions/1529874/fujitsu-siemens-p756-pc-does-not-boot-and-does-not-enter-bios-menu-after-update

After accepting the offer to update from 22.04 LTS to 24.04.01 LTS the system stands still during the boot process showing only the "FUJITSU" splash screen. (To be precise: The "FUJITSU" shows up, then the screen gets black for ~1sec, then it re-appears. The "black-screen" time is normally where one can press F2 and F12 to enter the BIOS)

  • Entering the BIOS does not work any longer.
  • The system does not start.
  • BIOS recovery cannot be entered (also not by changing the jumpers on the main board). The USB stick is not detected and not booted.

After mounting the same M2 memory in a second PC with the system boots up and enters the new Ubuntu Linux. After the next reboot the same happens also to this second PC. It stands still in the same position, not being able to enter BIOS or the OS.

  • Mounting back the earlier working M2 memory into the PC does not recover the system.
  • removing the backup battery does not help
  • The keyboard is USB, same slot that worked to enter the BIOS before. PS/2 is not available to me.

Any idea on what happens to the system that is permanent? Any idea what else can help to recover two earlier well working PCs (Fujitsu Siemens P756/E94+)?

Automatic Login Not Working https://askubuntu.com/questions/1501453/automatic-login-not-working

As the title says, automatic login is not working. I've tried a few things, turning it off and on, changing the password, and restarting the system. I always get asked for a password on login however, and with a forced long password it gets abit annoying to have to type it in every time I need to log in.

EDIT: It seems that automatic login is configured correctly in accordance with GDM3, however it is simply refuseing to work.

sftp Broken pipe Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer https://askubuntu.com/questions/951311/sftp-broken-pipe-couldnt-read-packet-connection-reset-by-peer

I am trying to setup a sftp account to a specific folder. I have created a group ftpaccess and user testuser with home directory as seen here:

sudo addgroup ftpaccess

sudo useradd -d /home/forge/mydomain.com/downloads -m testuser -g ftpaccess -s /bin/false

sudo passwd testuser

sudo chown root:root /home/forge/mydomain.com/downloads

sudo chmod 755 /home/forge/mydomain.com/downloads

Then I have created an transfers directory inside testuser home folder:

sudo mkdir /home/forge/mydomain.com/downloads/transfers

sudo chown testuser:ftpaccess /home/forge/mydomain.com/downloads/transfers

Then I have setup sshd_config like this (rules added to the end of file):

# SFTP account
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match group ftpaccess
ChrootDirectory %h
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp
PasswordAuthentication yes

Now trying to sftp with this user sftp testuser@localhost but I get error:

packet_write_wait: Connection to 127.0.0.1 port 22: Broken pipe
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

What am I doing wrong?

Winbind on Ubuntu 17.04 will not start https://askubuntu.com/questions/925355/winbind-on-ubuntu-17-04-will-not-start

I apologize in advance as my Linux knowledge is very limited.I've installed Ubuntu 17.04 Server in a test environment and attempted to install Samba. During the installation the winbind daemon will not start. I've ran apt update && upgrade before installing Samba however it seems that it didn't help out. I've tested Ubuntu version 16.04 LTS and it works without any errors. I'm a bit lost as to why Winbind will not work on 17.04, Google search results didn't help. If anyone needs more info I'll gladly provide it but you'll probably need to show me the command to do it.

Thank you

There's almost a similar question but the question assumes that it worked on 17.04

Link to the similar question: Winbind Broken on Reboot In Ubuntu 17.04

UPDATE 1: After following andreas advice in running testparm, it found some lines that were old so I've removed them and restarted the winbind service. Still does an error but the systemCTL has found something that might pin point a bit better where the issue is.

Advice on Moving Partitions with Gparted After Cloning Drive to a larger one https://askubuntu.com/questions/63932/advice-on-moving-partitions-with-gparted-after-cloning-drive-to-a-larger-one

I recently cloned my hard drive to a new one with an additional 250GB of space (232GiB per Gparted). This has left 232 GiB of unallocated space at the end of the drive that I would like to redistribute amongst the existing partitions. I would like to add some to sda1, some to sda2, etc.. I realize that one can only merge partition space when the unallocated space is adjacent, but can't figure out the best way to do this, given existing partitions are all primary... Can someone advise on this? BTW, since this is a cloned drive, the original is still intact, so I don't need to backup.
