I have a Dell Latitude 3590 with Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 620 with VGA output.

The VGA is connected to a ViewSonic VA2446 External monitor.

   Built-in screen set to 1920×1080 (16:9)
   VA2446 is set to 1920×1080 (16:9)
   OS is Ubuntu Studio 24.04

The issue is the screen is too large for the displays, so the desktop will move to the edge (slide might be a better term) up and down, left or right. Even when the external is disconnected the Dell still does the same thing.

What am I missing here?

Whever i download a documento i try to open it my Ubuntu 26.04 LTS reboots.
This is creating creppling conditions for a normal ubunut use. Can you help me?

I tried to run it from the terminal and received the following message.
Maybe this is important to know:

steam-runtime-check-requirements[55261]:  
W: Child process exited with code 1: bwrap:  
Can't open /proc/self/mountinfo: Permission denied  

Question:

For common U.S. English words that are flagged as misspelled, is there a way to get updated or better U.S. English support, other then selecting "Ignore" or "Add to Dictionary" for each word?

Background:

GNOME Text Edit (gnome-text-editor) flags some widely accepted English words as misspelled. The spell-check dictionary seems outdated to me; otherwise, the dictionary / spell-check functionality works well for most words.

Since the same dictionary is used across GNOME applications, this is also an issue for other applications on my desktop, such as Firefox (deb package), Gnome Builder, etc..

Examples:

For example, the following words are not found in the dictionary.

• Repurposed (or repurpose)
• Unselected (or unselect)

Current Language Support on My System

As you can see I already have hunspell-en-us installed:

    $ dpkg -l hunspell-en-*
    Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
    | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
    |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
    ||/ Name           Version        Architecture Description
    +++-==============-==============-============-========================================
    ii  hunspell-en-us 1:2020.12.07-4 all          English_american dictionary for hunspell

If I navigate to "Region & Language" in System Settings, Ubuntu recommends I install the following language support. However, I do not see the value of installing these, since I am a U.S. English speaker, and I suspect installing language packs for other English regions will not address the core issue.

• hunspell-en-au

• hunspell-en-ca

• gimp-help-en

• hunspell-en-gb

• wbritish

• gimp-help-en-gb

• hunspell-en-za

I have a desktop with several drives, let's just refer to /home, Documents, and Pictures for this. I would like each partition to have different settings, such as:

• /home: 6% maximum size, delete after 30 days
• Documents: 10% maximum size, delete after 180 days
• Pictures: 20% maximum size, delete after 90 days

Is it possible to do this in Kubuntu 26.04?

I am using Ubuntu 26.04 with the default GNOME desktop.

I want to change the font and font size in the Terminal, but I cannot find the Preferences option. Most tutorials say to open Terminal and go to Preferences, but that option does not exist in my installation.

I have tried:

• Checked the Terminal menu (top-right/hamburger menu).
• Right-clicked inside the Terminal window.
• Looked through the application settings.

None of these show a Preferences option.

Questions:

1. Has the Terminal application changed in Ubuntu 26.04?
2. How can I change the Terminal font and font size?
3. If the Preferences menu was removed, what is the new way to configure the Terminal?

If needed, I can provide screenshots of the Terminal window and menu.

I'm mildly tech savvy but the answer to this issue escapes me and I'm asking for directions to where I could read the necessary documentation for getting this device to boot either OS - the Linux image I have on a USB jump drive or the Windows original OS. At this point anything to boot would be better than the, "no bootable devices found" mess I'm in. Some back story may help.

I found this laptop outside a dumpster in my apartment complex but after turning it on I realized that it was locked down by CVS (yes the pharmacy store) under an employee make to login with. The BIOS wasn't locked, hell it didn't even have an admin password set. So I proceeded to try an option under the BIOS that wipes the drive of all information which I thought at that point it would boot to a new Windows install, no longer corporation locked. Much to my chagrin this didn't happen and now even trying to boot a Linux installation, Ubuntu 16.04.7, won't properly locate even the SSD disk as a viable option to boot from. I'm worried that when I wiped the disk on the next boot, which is an option in the Support Recovery BIOS screen, that I somehow have pointed the computer in the wrong direction to look for the bootable devices necessary to boot either OS that is still available in the memory of the device or the USB that has the Ubuntu 16.04.7 image on it.

Any help in this arena would be most appreciated. I've scoured the web but turned up minimal results. I imagine that after pressing F12 repeatedly when powering on the device and navigating to Device Configuration that the answer to my woes are in there somewhere. Mainly in the Platform Driver Override selection menu of the TPV EFI Device Manager because there I find numerous choices that start with PciRoot(0x0) and in the string it'll have things like, NVMe(0x1,22-AB-33-44-55-6C-C7-8D) (not the actual numbers for the string) or USB(STRING) and also MBR in one in particular. I'm just not well versed on Dell OS recovery enough to know what those options are really referencing or which of the drivers I need to select so the computer can point to the correct location of the USB slot so I can boot Linux but at this point info on the MBR option(s) would suffice. I'm just over the no bootable devices found screen. Help please

I'm having an issue about the Ubuntu Desktop 26.04 installer, and I can't find a solution. I tried nomodeset, but nothing worked and after choosing the interactive install, and choosing Install Ubuntu it crashes. I spent 3 days trying to reinstall the iso and put it on a fresh USB 3.0 drive.

I am new to Ubuntu and have just installed it on my laptop. My first move is to install yWriter to port some of my projects. On the install page for Linux the instructions are to change your terminal location to a newly created folder containing yWriter, however I have only just opened a terminal window for the first time today and have no idea how to change it's present working directory.

Windows 7 is running on my desktop. How can the Kubuntu ISO be successfully downloaded for use on a Linux laptop? Previous attempts result in this for the downloaded ISO. What am I doing wrong? Is the Kubuntu version an important consideration?

Thanx to all those folks who posted very helpful suggestions. Version 26.04 has been successfully downloaded (abt 3 hrs run time) but before burning to CD the checksum will be validated. Step # 1 is to click on downloaded file Properties -> File Hashes tag which displays 3 hash tag totals (CRC-32, MD-5, SHA-1). Step # 2 probably compares at least one of these to the corresponding values within the "source" file's checksum but where is it displayed ??

I am using Ubuntu 24.04, currently with the standard unity-like desktop (because my preferred choice of gnome flashback/compiz/lightdm doesn't currently work properly). If I have multiple instances of the same application, eg spreadsheets, I wish to keep them in a specific order in the icon strip on the left hand side. I can do this by creating them in the order I want, but sometimes they seem to get moved on their own. I want to move them back to my preferred order without having to close and reopen them all. All the answers I've found on line suggest you can drag and drop them, but this doesn't seem to work. Once dragged, wherever I try to drop they they gain a small "no entry" sign (circle with a diagonal line through it) and simply fall back to where they started.

I removed GNU Freefonts, because it makes the text in Bengali render badly.
However, after removing it, Octave is failing to show plots.

I tried changing the default Octave fonts, but it still looks for these missing freetype fonts, and the plot does not display.

How to fix the issue?

I have installed some configuration mods for my terminal, but I messed some things up, and this is how the terminal looks like now:

This is how I want it to look like as usual:

A fresh new terminal after you installed Ubuntu. What is the solution for this?

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS and recently installed FireFox 152 through the apt install channel.

When I open Settings/About Firefox, I see the Firefox updates is set to "Updates are managed by your operating system." There doesn't seem to any longer be a setting to check for updates manually or to notify me that an update is available so that I can chose when to do the update.

I opened about:config and changed app.update.auto from True to False, but that had no effect.

I would like to be able to disable the automatic updates so that I have control over when the updates happen. What are the steps to do this?

Additional info: Prior to today I was using Snap to update Firefox. Something went haywire with the auto update that broke Firefox, so I no longer care to use Snap.

More info: I added a config file to /etc/apt/preferences.d so that firefox should no longer be using snap.

$ apt policy firefox
firefox:
  Installed: 152.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1
  Candidate: 152.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1
  Version table:
     1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 -1
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
 *** 152.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1 1001
       1001 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The only information I'm looking for is: "How can I set up firefox so that I can choose when to apply updates." It's just that simple. If there is a config setting change to allow that to happen, that would be the perfect solution.

I have been having this problem for a while where the computer upon clicking suspend (or even typing systemctl suspend in the terminal) the display goes black for 1-2 seconds and turns back up in the lock screen.

I have tried the following command:

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

Which shows this:

I have the tried to disable all of the enabled devices with this command(obviously typing the actual device in the place of [DEVICE])

sudo /bin/sh -c '/bin/echo [DEVICE] > /proc/acpi/wakeup'

...but even still nothing worked.

I have turned my monitor physically in portrait position. I adjusted Settings -> Displays so that the layout for my desktop is okay, but the login screen is still landscape.

I read that this problem could be fixed with following instructions:

sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm3/.config/
sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm3/.config/monitors.xml
sudo systemctl restart gdm3

But to no avail, it just does not work. No matter if I reboot or even completely turn off and back on computer. The login screen remains in landscape position.

According to mutter documentation monitors.xml is read from /etc/xdg. Copied file there but it did not work either. This is clearly an issue that cannot be fixed with blind workarounds.

I edited /etc/xdg/monitors.xml so that there were different settings than in ~/.config/monitors.xml. After that tothing happens in gdm process login screen as I have tested oh so many times. But the change had effects in user process desktop. Is it so that mutter under gdm does not have same capabilities than under user process desktop? If so, this is just banging head on the wall.

Could someone please explain the architecture behind all this gdm/mutter/gnome-shell mess?

First, thanks for the feedback. I'm embarrassed because IRL, I used to do QA.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Desktop to an external SanDisk 4 TB SSD drive from a usb microsd card reader with a 28 GB card in it.

I get the "Something went wrong" screen. This happens with two different computers.

This is very reproducible.

The download checksum verified successfully.

I am having a HP laptop with AMD ryzen 3 3250u processor and I installed ubuntu 26 LTS and I tried to add a hibernation device in the laptop using a swap file but what I am experiencing is that when I run the command sudo systemctl hibernate my screen goes blank for sometime and return back to the lockscreen, sometime it work for the first time and subsequent hibernate fails, I am pasting my configuration files

I need the best way to sync Google Drive on my Ubuntu LTS 26.04 with local cache that allows me to keep working for at least a day without any internet.

Requirements are similar to Google Drive for PC:

1. Ability to work completely offline (not even internet to "mount" the drive first and then disconnect).
2. Download and caching of files when they are accessed.

What I have tried and fails:

1. rclone vfs local mount: Doesn't mount without internet! No usable cache! Can this be fixed? This is my most hopeful option currently. Here is the code I currently use:

[Unit]
Description=Google Drive Mount
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target
OnFailure=gdrive-mount-failed.service

[Service]
Type=simple

ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount gdriveboi: %h/G \
    --vfs-cache-mode full \
    --cache-dir %h/.cache/rclone \
    --vfs-cache-max-size 100G \
    --vfs-cache-max-age 720h \
    --vfs-write-back 30s \
    --vfs-read-ahead 128M \
    --dir-cache-time 5m \
    --poll-interval 30s \
    --log-level INFO \
    --log-file %h/.local/share/rclone-mount.log \
    --rc \
    --rc-addr 127.0.0.1:5572 \
    --rc-no-auth

ExecStop=/bin/fusermount3 -uz %h/G

Restart=no

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

2. Nautilus doesn't support native Google Drive starting GNOME 50. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/03/google-drive-not-working-nautilus-ubuntu-26-04

3. Dolphin + Dolphin Plugins + Konqueror + KIO GDrive + KIO Admin: Can't even add the Google account on Dolphin. Page shows blank.

4. rclone bisync fails randomly and repeatedly. --resyncing has destroyed my work multiple times now. I can provide the last used code if asked.

I've done this many times on different systems, but this has me puzzled:

OS: Ubuntu 26.04 Server

Had an external drive that I was permanently mounting using the fstab.

/dev/sda1 /data ext4 defaults 0 0

I removed the drive and of course it rebooted and went into recovery mode. So I edited the /etc/fstab and removed the external drive mount. Now when it reboots, it still hangs up on trying to mount that drive.

Does Ubuntu 26 store the information that is/was in the fstab in another spot? Like a database or other file? I noticed the fstab in Ubuntu 26 is very minimal, so I'm guessing there is some sort of other place that needs to be updated??

Again, this way of mounting the external works just fine. It was a permanent mount on a non-GUI system. It doesn't auto-mount without an entry in the fstab. The question was that it was removed, and fstab entry was removed, but it still went to the recovery prompt.

Okay, so I see I've not been complete with my description. This is a server. The external drive mounted permanently. I had been doing this on my server for a long time (6+ years). I removed the drive because I'm moving it to another server, permanently. After removing the entry in the fstab, and rebooted, it still tried to mount the drive and therefore hung up and dropped into recovery mode.

I had updated Ubuntu from 25.10 to 26.04.

Now, when booting into kernel 7.0.0-15, the system freezes while on login screen, goes black, then login screen is displayed again. Keeps occurring in an endless loop. If I select kernel 6.17.0-29-generic instead, the laptop runs fine, and I can log in without issue.

I ran the command sudo journalctl -b -1 -p err, and "Kernel Out of Memory error"s were present.
Are there known issues with the 7.0.0-15 kernel?

I installed Wine on Ubuntu for the sole purpose of running Notepad++ on Ubuntu, but the GUI fonts and icons are so small they are unreadable.

Below is a full screenshot of my 75" screen (TV as monitor):

As you can see, the GUI font and icon sizes make it basically unusable.

I installed Wine using snap. I found that it could also be installed using apt, so I did a test wine install using that, but the only version of Notepad++ using apt version of wine is 6.x.x, which is only 32 bit and way too old, and I cannot install any plugins or upgrade it.

I tried changing the DPI setting using a snap instance of the winecfg tool, but it has no effect on my snap instance of Notepad++. I also found a number of versions of wine and winecfg:

• /snap/wine-platform-3-stable
• /snap/wine-platform-5-stable
• /snap/wine-platform-6-stable
• /snap/wine-platform-7-devel-core20
• /snap/wine-platform-runtime
• /snap/wine-platform-runtime-core20

I am not sure why these are all installed, nor am I sure which instance is being 'used' by /snap/notepad-plus-plus.

Any help on which wine instance is used and how to fix the Notepad++ GUI font and icon size would be gratefully received.

I am currently trying to run some R code on Databricks. Some R packages require that I install libcurl4-openssl-dev. I am getting the following error while trying to install libcurl4-openssl-dev:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I have tried apt-get update before installing packages, but it hasn't helped. The problem seems to be that it is trying to look for 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.15 whereas the latest version seems to be 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.16

I have also tried running the following before trying to install again:

sudo apt --fix-missing update

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -f

Didn't help either. Any suggestions how I can install libcurl4-openssl-dev will be very helpful. Thanks!

Edit: sudo apt update gives the following output

apt-cache policy libcurl4-openssl-dev gives the following output

Not sure if the order of installation of packages matters, but thought I will mention it anyway here. Here is what I am trying:

apt-get update

apt-get install -y make libnode-dev libgdal-dev gdal-bin libgeos-dev libproj-dev libsqlite3-dev libpng-dev libudunits2-dev libicu-dev

sudo apt --fix-missing update

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -f

apt-get install -y libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev pandoc

If I try apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev after the above, I get the following, but it has been 15 minutes now and the command hasn't finished running yet. Not sure if this should be taking this much time. It is still running as I post this update.

Solution The following seems to work, but I am not completely sure why. I am very new to Linux, so I don't understand this a lot. I thought I will mention it here so it could help others. If there is anyone here who can explain why this happens, that would be great!

When I try to install libcurl4-openssl-dev after I add the repository, I am able to install it without any issue. If I try to do it without adding the repository, I get an error. I am happy that I found a solution, but would love to know why I need to do this. Why doesn't it search the "focal-updates main" right away at the beginning? Should I be doing this every time that I need to install a package?

I installed Notepad++ on my Ubuntu 22.04 via terminal

sudo snap install notepad-plus-plus

However, the text of the UI buttons, tabs, dropdown menues (not the opened file text), is too small compared with others UI, apps in my OS.

So, is there a way to increase the font size of UI buttons, tabs, dropdown menues?

I have searched on the internet but I can't find a way to solve this problem for Ubuntu (there are some methods suggested for Windows).

What I expect to find is a plugin for Notepad++ or an external app that increase the font size of a selected app.

Can anybody point me some of these ones, if any of them exist?

After installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu 22.04 I attempted to enable Remote Desktop:

I then went to another workstation (tried both Windows and macOS with the Microsoft RDC and with Jump Desktop) and tried to connect. When it failed without any significant details I jumped into /var/log/syslog on Ubuntu and found the following:

Jul 21 02:04:16 HOSTNAME gnome-remote-de[3006]: Couldn't retrieve RDP username: Credentials not set
Jul 21 02:04:55 HOSTNAME gnome-remote-de[3006]: message repeated 6 times: [ Couldn't retrieve RDP username: Credentials not set]

I then opened the system Settings → Sharing → Remote Desktop and was confronted with they keychain login prompt. After authenticating I attempted to again connect via RDP with the previous RDCs.

As I watched syslog, I observed the following results: Jump Desktop:

This is using the "User Name" and "Password" generated in the above screenshot.

Aside from what seems to be an obvious bug in the beginning wherein it's necessary to authenticate before FreeRDP even tries to connect, clearly there are other issues at play beyond that.

Anyone aware of what may be going on and failing here?

While trying to access my Ubuntu VM, I am facing intermittent ssh connectivity issue. Please note this is an intermittent issue.I have checked /etc/hosts , hosts.allow , hosts.deny files as per available posts related to this issue but could not see any wrong entries over these config files.

I want to burn Ubuntu Minimal CD ISO to an old, 1 GB USB thumbdrive. Regular ISO doesn't fit. I already tried Startup Disk Creator and Unetbootin but both failed. I tried installing GRUB and pointing it to boot like this:

insmod part_msdos
linux /linux
initrd /initrd.gz

but it doesn't work. I also tried dd but I ended up with not bootable drive.

Rufus worked on Windows with the same thumbdrive but I no longer use Windows.

What else can I do?

Whenever I try formatting my Sandisk Cruzer Glide 16GB, I get this error message on Gparted.

GParted 0.11.0 --enable-libparted-dmraid

Libparted 2.3

========================================

How do I disable / delete the read only filesystem? Is my USB corrupted?

I have a few external hard drives (SSDs and Platters (SATA), is this possible that I can install Kubuntu 10.10 x64 or Ubuntu 10.10 x64 onto one of these external hard drives? My System supports booting off a usb, it will just give me a learning playground without spoiling my existing operating environment. I know I can install as Virtual machines, but installing U/Kubuntu on a External HDD and booting off it would be easier.

Will be grateful for your insights....and steps to do so. Thanks
