I am currently using the following Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) linux-qcom source repository for the IQ9075 platform:

https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-qcom

In particular, I am building from the applied/ubuntu/noble-updates branch.

While checking this repository, I noticed that there does not appear to be a Jammy branch available. I then searched further and found the following Jammy repository instead:

https://git.launchpad.net/\~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-qcom/+git/jammy

However, it seems that development activity is now mainly focused on Noble branches, and I could not find an equivalent actively maintained Jammy branch/source for IQ9075.

Are Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) kernel sources for the IQ9075 platform no longer being provided or maintained?

Thank you.

I am using Ubuntu and I think my PC may have been compromised by malware or a trojan.

The reason I suspect this is because:

• My ad blocker suddenly stopped working.

• Some messages were deleted from my email account and Instagram account without my permission.

• I am worried someone may have gained access to my accounts or system.

I do not have much experience with Ubuntu or Linux security, so I am not sure how to properly check my system.

So far I have tried:

• Running ss -tulnp to check open ports.

• Checking running processes manually.

• Trying to use debsums, but it was not installed.

I would like to know:

1. How can I verify if my Ubuntu system is infected or compromised?

2. What logs or commands should I check?

3. How can I determine whether the problem is in my PC or only in my online accounts?

4. What immediate security steps should I take?

I am using Ubuntu 25.

Hey guys Ive been encountering plenty of problems in kubuntu 26.04 that wont help me use my pc normally:

Does anyone know a grub setting (GRUB_GFXMODE = ?) that makes the grub menu appear a bit larger? I tried 1280x800 and Windows 11 got spooked and would not boot. This is a dual boot Windows 11 and Ubuntu 26.04 on a laptop with screen resolution 2560x1600. So you can imagine how small grub looks. thanks

Why would some USB drives be slower than other and is there anything that can be done about it?

Now that I am upgrading to XUbuntu26.04, I've been running some daily backups on both systems.

The time to complete the backup ranges from about 80 minutes to something close to 150 minutes. Thus far I am not finding much if any difference in timing between 24.04 and 26.04, although two years ago I did find 22.04 significantly faster on USB2 type drives. The drives I am using are USB 3.2, purchased some months back as a 10 pack so, they are probably from the same production run.

What I am noticing is that some specific drives run around 90 minutes on 24.04 and 26.04 while other drives take close to 140 minutes on 24.04 and 26.04. I am using very similar ports in both cases. The systems are identical Optiplex systems. The port is appropriate for USB 3 devices (labeld SS).

I have done some further testing then looked at the values reported by lsusb -tv Three of them reported an ID of 13FE and what I think is the manufacture (Phison Electronics). One of the drives reports asn ID of 325d. Two of them are requiring about 140 minutes, the other two required about 100 minutes. There were all purchased as Teamgroup 64GB 3.2 USB drives. The one which reports a blank manufacturer is one of the two fast drives.

How to fix them?

I have an external backup drive, that is creating problems since I deleted (or tried to delete) some files on it, which is connected to the .Trash1000 folder.

When I connect and try to mount the drive I get every time this error:

Error mounting /dev/sda at /run/media/user/4TB: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, missing codepage or helper program or other error (udisks-error-quark, 0)

Then I have to open the disk utility and repair the drive, which is successful and the drive can be mounted. I noticed, that suddenly the trash icon gets filled, trying to delete it from the dock does not work. Looking into the .Trash1000 folder on the drive I see a files and an info folder. Both seem empty (0 objects shown in Nautilus).

When I try to open any of it I get this error:

„Error while getting information for the file ».../.Trash-1000/files/ABC (Copy).kdbx«: The argument is not valid“

(same for the other folder, info instead of files). The ABC (Copy).kdbx is indeed a file I tried to delete from the drive recently.

I tried these commands I found to delete the folders:

sudo rm -r .../.Trash-1000/
Error: The argument is not valid

sudo rm -rf .../.Trash-1000/
Error: the directory is not empty

sudo srm -rf .../.Trash-1000/
Warning: Unable to remove directory info - Directory not empty
Couldn't delete hmchs. Invalid argument
Couldn't delete ABC (Copy).kdbx.trashinfo. Invalid argument

I also checked with ls -al and got

drwx------+  1 0 May 14 16:55 .
drwxrwxrwx   1 4096 Jun 16  2024 ..
d?????????   ? ?            ? hmchs
drwx------+  1 0 May 14 16:52 qxnc

(so somehow the folders inside changed but the problem is the same, no clue how that happened...)

What are my options here as I really do not want to format the drive with TBs of backup data and don't have a Windows device to connect it to? (like mentioned in similar questions as repair solutions)

The drive is formatted as NTFS and I am on Ubuntu 26.

I have a video of about 1.2 GB that I need to share, but it is too big for the platform I have to use, so I was planning to zip it into chunks: the problem is some users do not have Ubuntu/Linux, but Windows, so one should be able to rebuild the splitted files also with WinRar or similar programs: how can I do it?

My PC lights up in the middle of the night about once a week. The monitor is just lit for maybe 20 seconds. Last night it was at 3:15 AM and I sleep in the same room. I suspect this the the Déjà Dup back up starting. It does say the latest backup was today. Is there a way to reschedule or to prevent the monitor from lighting?

This is 24.04 on a Dell OptiFlex 7050. Two monitors are connected and I believe they both light up.

I have a small TPM-backed LUKS partition where I keep my secrets. I want the OS to be able to try to unlock the secrets partition, but if it fails, I want the OS to proceed with the boot process anyway. That way, if the unlock fails, my OS doesnt brick up and I can resolve the issue by re-enrolling the TPM key to the partition.

I know the title is quite generic but I have more than one problem with external monitors attached to the docking station.

I am using Ubuntu 24.04.4 on a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 with Nvidia Geforce RTX. I have a HP USB-C Dock G5 attached to the C-port and two monitors connected to it with DisplayPort.

The computer has some problems identifying the monitors: every time I turn it off and on again, it forgets the configuration I set the last time, even if it is correctly stored in .config/monitors.xml:

        </mode>
      </monitor>
    </logicalmonitor>
  </configuration>
</monitors>

I noticed sometimes it used to add a second configuration by himself, so I set the file to readonly but this did not solve the problem. I also tried to copy it into /var/lib/gdm3/.config/ .

Also, sometimes one of the monitors turns off and on again while I am working (it takes about 2-3 seconds); everytime I lock the screen, it stays black and does note receive signal until I manually turn it off, lock again the screen, turn it on and unlock computer.

Is there a way to fix all these problems? Don't hesitate to ask for further details.

Thanks in advance

I have bought a printer HP Envy 6500e. Although the driver is available, my notebook with Ubuntu 24.04 installed, is not able to install it. It shows the printer as available, but it fails the installation.
I tried with the standard Ubuntu installation procedure or using hp-setup command.
I have also updated the hp-plugin and I tried to connect the notebook to the printer through the USB cable or by WiFi indicating the IP address manually.
In all cases the printer installation failed.
Any ideas?

P.S. I tried the printer using a Windows PC and Android smartphone and it works.

I am running Proxmox inside VMware Workstation. I uploaded an Ubuntu ISO and made two VMs. My goal is to have these VMs stay in sync: any change made in VM1 should automatically appear in VM2 ,and vice versa .

To achieve this, I installed "Syncthing". However, I am struggling with the path configuration. It is difficult to add all the directories in the operating system, and I want to applied for example changes in /etc/named.conf , but the path of syncthing is /sync/share , so id thing is a correct way to sync any changes between two vms.

How to turn "Alt+l+e+up-key+enter" combination into a shortcut?

I'm using vlc to watch media and I'd like to create a shortcut that does the same job as a key combination for slowing or speeding up video. The key combination pressed in order is "Alt+l+e+up-key+enter" for speeding up and "Alt+l+e+down-key+enter" for slowing down.

What do I type in the command line for Setting Custom Shortcut ?

Edit: instead of pressing "Alt+l+e+down-key+enter" every time to speed up I'd like to create a shortcut for it.

I have intel laptops on Ubuntu 26.04 with 13th and 14th generation processors with both P and E cores. I'd like the system to schedule onto the E cores and never the P cores when the system isn't under load, to save power. Automatic and transparently ideally.

Why I can't install GOfuncR in Ubuntu 24.04?

My system is a Raspberry Pi 5 16GB running a fresh install of Ubuntu 26.04 with restricted extras installed plus all Gstreamer add-ons including good, bad and ugly.

If I use Showtime (Gstreamer-based) it cannot play videos encoded with h.265; the detailed error message is:

Error from element /GstPlayBin3:playbin3/GstURIDecodeBin3:uridecodebin3/GstDecodebin3:decodebin3-0/v4l2slh265dec:v4l2slh265dec1:   
Could not get/set settings from/on resource.  

Failed to configure the buffer pool

../gst-libs/gst/video/gstvideodecoder.c(4373): gst_video_decoder_decide_allocation_default (): /GstPlayBin3:playbin3/GstURIDecodeBin3:uridecodebin3/GstDecodebin3:decodebin3-0/v4l2slh265dec:v4l2slh265dec1:

Configuration is most likely invalid, please report this issue.

In other Gstreamer tests the error 'unsupported pixel format' is reported which is also h.265-related.

I can use other apps such as VLC to play h.265 videos, so that is not a problem, but because the [low-resource overhead] default file sharing on Ubuntu (simple on/off switch in settings menu) that I use to stream video to my TV (Rygel) is also Gstreamer-based, and because it cannot negotiate h.265 videos, it refuses to serve them. It also worked perfectly in 24.04 before I moved to 26.04.

I confirmed with a non-RPi5 user running Ubuntu 26.04 AMD64 build that Gstreamer works fine with h.265, and on the Raspberry Pi forum, a moderator said that Gstreamer fixes had recently been applied to RPiOS to address h.265 problems, so it could be that Ubuntu engineers have yet to get that across to the ARM-based Ubuntu 26.04 updates?

Edit 14th May: Just to add that a few updates today I thought might address this issue, but sadly not because Showtime can still not handle h.265 content.

I want to upgrade my desktop pc - currently running ubuntu 24.04 - to the latest version 26.04. I created a bootable usb drive with the latest iso image. When booting into the USB disk, I get the following error: spi-nor spi0.0: probe NovaCore unsupported chipset: boot 42 = 0x124a1002 (architecture 0x12, implementation 0x4). The installation stalls.

I already tested/combined the following GRUB parameters:

1. modprobe.blacklist=spi_nor. Result: the SPI-NOR error already disappeared!
2. modprobe.blacklist=novacore. Result: still "NovaCore unsupported ..." error
3. nouveau.modeset=0. Result: no impact
4. pci=nommconf. Result: no impact.

So, after adding all the GRUB parameters above, the (only) error remains: [ ....] "NovaCore 0000:01:00.0: unsupported chipset: boot42 = 0x124a1002 (architecture 0x12, implementation 0x FYI"

Note that shortly after the error I can TTY with CTR-ALT-F3, so kernel finished booting, but display can't get initialized.

I have an ASUS Vivobook 18 M1807HA with an AMD Radeon 780M integrated GPU running Ubuntu 24.04 (kernel 6.17.0-20-generic).

Problem

When running on battery power only, my laptop generates constant USB device connection/disconnection sounds (the "ding-dong" notification) every 60-90 seconds. The desktop icons sometimes refresh/update when this happens.

This does NOT happen when the AC adapter is plugged in.

What I've tried

I've investigated extensively and found that:

1. Running sudo udevadm monitor shows constant drm/card1 change events:

KERNEL [1192.228486] change   /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:03:00.0/drm/card1 (drm)
UDEV  [1192.261376] change/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:03:00.0/drm/card1 (drm)
KERNEL [1231.346665] change/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:03:00.0/drm/card1 (drm)
UDEV  [1231.370399] change/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:03:00.0/drm/card1 (drm)

2. Setting amdgpu.runpm=0 in GRUB does not resolve the issue
3. Disabling WiFi does not resolve the issue
4. power_dpm_force_performance_level remains unchanged during events
5. No error messages appear in dmesg

Workaround

Disabling system event sounds stops the audible notification:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds false

However, the underlying issue (constant drm change events) persists.

Questions

1. Is this a known bug with the AMD Radeon 780M on battery power?
2. Has anyone else with recent AMD Ryzen AI laptops experienced this?
3. Is there a proper fix beyond disabling notification sounds?

I've already reported this as a bug to the AMD DRM developers, but I'm curious if others in the Ubuntu community have encountered this issue.

• Laptop: ASUS Vivobook 18 M1807HA
• GPU: AMD Radeon 780M (integrated)
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 260
• Kernel: 6.17.0-20-generic
• Distribution: Ubuntu 24.04

When I see a stable, well-accepted package like coreutils get removed, my initial reaction is something of shock. However, I know the danger of "speaking without knowledge" to use the biblical wording, and that the Ubuntu people know way more about this than I do, but:

Why did the Ubuntu team want to change from coreutils to uutils?

I know there's a big push for "safer" languages like rust right now, is simply that the reason? or is there a more complex reason? It seems like a mature project like coreutils would no longer have any memory leaks or similar errors that might make the Ubuntu team have second thoughts about using it. So, why?

Just a note for those who don't know, this is not in an LTS release yet, just in intern releases.

I recently installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on my ASUS VivoBook laptop, and my internal microphone is not working. External headsets with a microphone work fine, but the built-in mic is completely silent. I think the bug is related to the wrong ping configuration, but I don't know exactly how to fix it.

Here are my system details:

   Operating system: Ubuntu 24.04.3
   Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-79-generic
   Architecture: x86-64
   Hardware vendor: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
   Hardware model: VivoBook_ASUSLaptop
   Firmware version: X409FA.305

What I’ve tried:

• Checked Settings → Sound → Input and selected the internal microphone. No input level is detected.
• Tested with arecord (arecord -d 5 -f cd test.wav) but the recording is silent.
• Verified that the sound card is detected with arecord -l, aplay -l, and lspci.
• Tried using pactl list short sources to switch inputs, but still no sound.
• Tested with an external headset mic, which works fine — so the issue is only with the built-in microphone.

Related reports:

• This issue seems to be the same as the confirmed bug here: Launchpad #2112330 (now closed).
• Also confirmed in the kernel bug tracker: Kernel Bug #219807

My questions:

• Is there a known fix or workaround for enabling the internal microphone on ASUS VivoBook running Ubuntu 24.04?
• Should I try upgrading/downgrading the kernel, or is there a patch available?
• Is there any PulseAudio / PipeWire configuration that could help until a kernel fix is released?

I am using Crouton script to install Gnome Desktop, as that desktop environment is easy for me to work with, as I am completely blind and thus rely on ORCA screen reader to navigate. However, upon installing gnome desktop, I end up with the outdated Xenial environment, which is no longer supported.

Here is my step-by-step walkthrough of how I install Gnome Desktop using Crouton:

1. Enable Developer Mode

2. Download Crouton

3. Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T

4. Type shell and press Enter

5. Type:

   sudo install -Dt /usr/local/bin -m 755 ~/Downloads/crouton
   

   Press Enter

6. Type:

   sudo crouton -t gnome-desktop
   

   Press Enter

7. Wait for the installer to complete

8. Type a username and press Enter

9. Type a password and press Enter

10. Retype the password and press Enter

At this point, you can start Gnome by typing:

sudo startgnome

Exactly how do I install the latest version of Ubuntu using Crouton without getting Xenial every time I install Gnome Desktop?

Recently, Evolution and Chrome started hanging whenever I try to start them.

I believe the problem has to do with the gnome-keyring: I use Ubuntu 20.04.3 with auto-login. Because of this, my login keyring is not unlocked at login, and applications like Chrome and Evolution that depend on it should generate a password prompt. Usually they do, but as of a few days ago they don't, so they hang and I can't use either one.

When this happens, I am also unable to unlock the keyring via Seahorse: Opening Seahorse, going to Login, and pressing "Unlock" does nothing. Syslog shows no significant differences between starting Seahorse when it works and starting Seahorse when it doesn't work.

The keyring daemon appears to be running:

[username@machine]:~$ ps -fe | grep key
[username]         941       1  0 08:07 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login

So I'm guessing that the issue has to do with communication between Evolution/Chrome and the keyring instead.

My understanding is that this is handled via DBus. This page suggests using dbus-monitor for troubleshooting. From a single start of Evolution, dbus-monitor generates 550k of output, which I am at a loss to interpret. The only thing I did note is that the word "key" appears nowhere in it.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what the problem may be? Or how to filter dbus-monitor to reduce noise? I get the gist of filtering in dbus-monitor, but I'm not sure what type, sender, etc. to filter for.

Thank you.

So I have to mount an encrypted zfs partition to fix my computer. I have looked everywhere but I can't mount it with the info I found. Every time I do sudo zfs set mountpoint=/mnt/k/ rpool it does not fail but I can't get to the files. If I mount it in disks I get error mounting /dev/sda4 to /media/ubuntu/rpool2: unknown filesystem type zfs_member (udisk-error-quark, 0). Most likely the partition is not mounting because it is encrypted. How do I mount it?

I bought a new HDD today, and I'd like to make a fresh install of Kubuntu. Unfortunately, the largest storage device I have is 2gb, which is not enough to hold the graphical live installer. But wait! I have a fully functional, running ubuntu installation. Surely I can re-run the live installer, install to my new HDD, and be on my way?

Except... I can't figure out how to. I've grabbed the ubiquity-frontend-kde package, which I think provides the installer I want. I tried launching it with ubiquity, ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-kde, and ubiquity --desktop kde_ui, guessing from this stack exchange answer. However, all my guesses either exit with code 1, or print some combination of the following lines:

/usr/bin/ubiquity:74: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses
  import imp
The value for the SHELL variable was not found the /etc/shells file

This incident has been reported.

The wiki page is remarkably unhelpful on this front.

Does anyone know how I can run the live installer? 🤔

After successfully installing openconnect using apt on Ubuntu 18.04, when I try to connect to VPN using

$ openconnect https://xxx.xx.xxx/
XML response has no "auth" node 
Failed to obtain WebVPN cookie

I don't have more details of given error. Can anyone provide me with solution of given VPN error?

On my ubuntu 16.04 server, I've written two systemd services to start docker containers on system reboot. out of them, the initial one loads perfectly. The second service is dependent on the first service which never gets executed. However, If run 2nd service manually with sudo systemctl start swoop.app.service then It works fine.

here is first script

[Unit]
Description=Swoop MongoDb Server container
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service

[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=0

ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker-compose -f /var/www/swoop/docker-compose.yml up -d mongo3 mongo2 mongo1 mongosetup

Restart=always
RestartSec=10s
Type=notify
NotifyAccess=all

[Install]
WantedBy=local.target

and the 2nd script is

[Unit]
Description=Swoop App Server container
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service

Requires=swoop.mongo.service
After=swoop.mongo.service


[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=0
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker-compose -f /var/www/swoop/docker-compose.yml up -d app

Restart=always
RestartSec=10s
Type=notify
NotifyAccess=all

[Install]
WantedBy=local.target

Why It is not able to detect swoop.mongo.service service has started or not.

Update:

Though service1 docker container's are running after the boot.
Service1 status

$ systemctl status swoop.mongo.service 
● swoop.mongo.service - Swoop MongoDb Server container

Service2 status

Does anyone know how to write a macro for a special character?

I know LibreOffice currently doesn't have a way to set a special character to a keyboard shortcut. However, I want to work around this with a macro. My plan is to create a macro for a special character then set a keyboard shortcut to that macro. Problem is I don't know the first thing about writing a macro. Any one have a template or something that works?

I also know about the compose key, but I guess I am lazy and want to actually insert special characters with as few keys as possible.
