Ly display manager bigclocks character issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563782/ly-display-manager-bigclocks-character-issue

Ly's big clock is actually displayed, just not properly because instead of the usual dark shade(U+2593) it's displayed with hashtags character(U+0023)

I have already set the console font to terminus btw

issues accessing ubuntu servers https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563777/issues-accessing-ubuntu-servers

For several days have been trying to perform system updates on several systems running Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04. Consistently get errors when trying to access ubuntu servers. have been able to update Google chrome and surf the internet so network connection on the computer is not the issue.

I have issues after updating Ubuntu 24.04 to 25.10 in my Asus Zenbook 14 OLED. I tried to ping all commands to resolve but it's not working https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563776/i-have-issues-after-updating-ubuntu-24-04-to-25-10-in-my-asus-zenbook-14-oled-i

I have issues after updating Ubuntu 24.04 to 25.10 in my Asus Zenbook 14 OLED. A black screen shows this (initramfs) _ prompt:

BusyBox v1.37.0 (Ubuntu 1:1.37.0-4ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)  
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) _ 

I tried to ping all commands to resolve it, but it's not working. Example command: fsck /dev/sda1. It's not working with other commands either. It said error 2 (no file or directory) while executing fsck.ext2 for dev)sda1

Full Ubuntu install on external SSD for use with multiple computers? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563773/full-ubuntu-install-on-external-ssd-for-use-with-multiple-computers

Good day everybody!

I am trying to do a full install (not just a persistent live image) of Ubuntu on an external SSD I have lying around. Mainly to use as a backup for data rescue and the like, ideally usable on multiple different computers.

I tried the obvious thing and booted a live USB, selected the external SSD and ran the installation. This however messed up grub on my main drive, preventing my main PC from booting (I managed to fix that using boot-repair though). I also cannot boot from the external SSD now, so I'm guessing there is also something up with the boot configuration on that.

So straightforward question:

Whats the easiest/cleanest way to fully install Ubuntu on an external drive? The info I could find so far seems to be somewhat conflicting, so I'm wondering if this is even something that can be done easily.

Thank you in advance!

Hitachi storage volume cannot be mounted at startup https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563772/hitachi-storage-volume-cannot-be-mounted-at-startup

I have a machine running Ubuntu 22.04. This machine is connected to two storage devices: an HP 3Par and a Hitachi E590. The machine is a ProLiant BL460c Gen9 blade with an HP QMH2672 16Gb FC HBA for BladeSystem c-Class dual-port HBA.

After installing the Linux operating system, I configured connectivity to the 3Par storage device. There were no problems. Everything worked smoothly, and filesystem mapping functioned without issue.

The problem I'm having is with connectivity to the Hitachi storage device. Although I configured the zoning and everything else, and the server recognized the volumes, upon restarting the server no longer detected connectivity to the Hitachi.

After several tests with the storage provider, they indicated that the problem might be a missing Full LIP Reset during boot. This process was performed by modifying grub and rc.local. Without mounting the resource and restarting the computer, it starts without problems, but if I define the mount point in fstab, the server cannot find the specified mount point. I need help from the experts.

The new kernel (6.17.0-14-generic) isn't recognizing my TP-Link Archer T9UH v1 (RTL8814AU) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563769/the-new-kernel-6-17-0-14-generic-isnt-recognizing-my-tp-link-archer-t9uh-v1

I just installed 24.04.3 fresh from the installation media. APT updated and upgraded all.

My current kernel is 6.17.0-14-generic.

lsusb shows the following line:

Bus 010 Device 006: ID 2357:0106 TP-Link Archer T9UH v1 [Realtek RTL8814AU]

lsmod shows:

  • rtw88_8814au 12288 0

  • rtw88_usb 28672 1 rtw88_8814au

  • cfg80211 1462272 2 rtw88_core,mac80211

BUT the driver doesn't seem to be talking to the device as I have no IP and no activity light on the device like there was when using the old morronwr driver.

Soundcard not detected: sof-audio-pci-intel-cnl driver error: sof_probe_work failed err: -110 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563768/soundcard-not-detected-sof-audio-pci-intel-cnl-driver-error-sof-probe-work-fai

I have an issue with the sound card on my laptop (Ubuntu 24.04). It was working fine on last week after installing Steam. At first, I thought it was a system update, but the issue persists after I rolled back the kernel from 6.17-generic to 6.14.0-37-generic. I tried most of the suggested fixes I could find but none have worked so far. I am new to Linux.
Perhaps you can help me.

Thank you in advance

i did run

sudo modprobe <driver> 

on pretty much any driver I could find but was not able to achive any change (seemingly). This includes all mentioned above as well as snd_via82xx as the ubuntu guide recommends for fixing soundcard issues

I was wondering whether my sound card died, but the bios can produce sounds.

How can I remove Ubuntu Pro (Advantage) software? [duplicate] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563765/how-can-i-remove-ubuntu-pro-advantage-software

The Ubuntu Pro (formerly known as Ubuntu Advantage) software packages may be undesirable for users who do not wish to utilize the associated services. Simply removing the packages in question may be impractical since the ubuntu-minimal package depends on them, and this isn't likely to change. While installed, these packages may do such things as;

  • Consume resources on an intermittent (12 hours, for example) or cumulative basis
  • Write to a log file found in /var/log/ubuntu-advantage.log
  • Insert messages into MOTD and APT output

How can this software be removed?

Where is php.ini-development and php.ini-production https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563735/where-is-php-ini-development-and-php-ini-production

I have found php.ini (/etc/php/8.5/apache2/php.ini) and am using php 8.5....did they do away with the sample php ini files?

Update The Ubuntu version is 24.04. I originally installed an earlier version of 8 (I believe through sudo apt install php), then upgraded a couple of times to 8.5.2.

It appears the default installation creates a PHP.ini with production values and specifically for that OS (there was one setting that is treated differently for Debian).

Someone provided a link to the repository and I was able to download the dev and prod versions of php.ini that are native to the repository.

Not sure why this was downvoted.

Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble): Wi-Fi stopped working after kernel upgrade to 6.17.0-14-generic (Intel AX211 / iwlwifi) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563722/ubuntu-24-04-noble-wi-fi-stopped-working-after-kernel-upgrade-to-6-17-0-14-ge

After upgrading the Linux kernel on Ubuntu (via sudo apt upgrade) to a newer version (in my case 6.17.0-14-generic), Wi-Fi stopped working. The laptop uses an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 adapter with the iwlwifi driver. The device was detected by PCI tools, but the Wi-Fi interface was not usable and the device showed as UNCLAIMED in lshw.

uninstall nautilus, and reinstall https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563705/uninstall-nautilus-and-reinstall

Using TERMINAL in Ubuntu 24.04.3lts Wayland - Linux 6.8.0-85-generic, how do I SUCCESSFULLY uninstall nautilus completely, and aferwhich, how do I reinstall it SUCCESSFULLY - dependencies and all...?

Currently, I can copy, edit, move, etc. files using terminal so drive itself and permissions seem no problem, edit using nano, etc., but nautilus seems to just want to crash (like it's corrupt) so want to reinstall, not repair, it.

from terminal:

Desktop$ nautilus

Shouldn't that be Gsk.NglRenderer, not GskNglRenderer?

OK, Daniel T, I ran dpkg -V, but no /bin lines at all:

In lieu of using termnal on the desktop, would using the RECOVERY tool from grub and dropping into root be better way to uninstall, then reboot and again to the tool to root, to reinstall nautilus?

I can run Firefox, browse away, play things, etc., and all is fine until I try to attach a file to an email which tries to bring up a nautilus type window, or try to download/save a file which also tries to bring up a nautilus type window, then it'll try but ends up crashing Firefox during the attempt. I assume a piece of nautilus is what the browser uses - same with using something like LibreOffice - try to open a file which tries to bring up the window and that does similarly...

using "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 nautilus", I noticed I can rename a file, but try to copy it, and the freeze/blink off-on/crash happen as the window pops up (with read only message at its bottom) for where to copy it to...

How to restore dual boot Windows 7 / KDE neon [closed] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563655/how-to-restore-dual-boot-windows-7-kde-neon

I'm a complete Ubuntu newbie. My desktop has two physical boot drives. One has had Windows 7 installed for about a decade. After installing KDE neon on the second drive - this one.

PRETTY_NAME="KDE neon 6.3"
NAME="KDE neon"
VERSION_ID="24.04"
VERSION="6.3"
VERSION_CODENAME=noble
ID=neon
ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian"
HOME_URL="https://neon.kde.org/"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=noble
LOGO=start-here-kde-neon

For several months, both operating systems worked without problems, and I selected to boot from BIOS. Thereafter I have somehow managed to create a boot menu outside of BIOS.

Some time ago, I had a problem booting Windows. I tinkered with something, and a boot menu appeared, but over time, it stopped working. Attached are pictures of the problem. How can I restore the boot menu for Windows and Linux?

It used to be like this and you could go down to Windows and load it.

Then some kind of glitch occurred and now when I turn on the desktop, this blue window appears first.

When I go down to the Windows 7 menu item and press Enter, a black screen with the following message appears.

Setting partition type to 0x7  
452: Out of range pointer:  0xbca37010  
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

...and after pressing any key, KDE neon boots up.

Problem with broadcom Wifi driver https://askubuntu.com/questions/1562513/problem-with-broadcom-wifi-driver

I am aware of this post. I installed Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS on my computer which has Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03). I do not have Wifi. I tried the post I mentioned earlier, used

sudo apt install broadcom-sta-dkms

and it worked! I had Wifi until I rebooted my machine. Then, again can't see Wifi. Followed the instructions to purge broadcom-sta-dkms, and try to reinstall it but I get this error:

What is Ubuntu Advantage is checking for twice a day on a supported Ubuntu installation, and can I get rid of it? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1371014/what-is-ubuntu-advantage-is-checking-for-twice-a-day-on-a-supported-ubuntu-insta

Re: ubuntu-advantage-tools, looks like every 12 hours it wakes up, looks for something on my system, does not find it, and goes away.

I don't remember installing anything called ubuntu advantage on purpose and from what I can tell, it's used for systems that are past their EOL, which this 20.04 system is decidedly not.

Also, I can't find a service called ubuntu advantage or an entry in cron.

What is this thing trying to to do, how is it running, and how do I get rid of it?

How to create a live backup and do an in-place restore https://askubuntu.com/questions/1299698/how-to-create-a-live-backup-and-do-an-in-place-restore

I need to be able to remotely run a live backup of an Ubuntu server, which is on a VPS without physical access, and then also be able to recover to that backup in place.

I do not have console access, and I have no control over the network, so no PXE booting. The VPS does not offer backups without expensive support contracts. I also cannot change the partition scheme. I have a single LVM that stores /boot, /root, and all else.

I have evaluated a few dozen solutions, all of which presented their own problems. Not having an extra partition or device complicates most of the options out there, additionally so without network booting. It seems to be relatively easy to take a live snapshot with Relax and Recover, or possibly dd of my partition, but recovering to that partition in place with no access to the machine and no PXE is a hurdle.

I'm lost on how to proceed. Every solution I found seems to assume I have something I don't have. What few threads that come close to addressing this are not encouraging:

Logging into Windows VDI from Ubuntu - aka equivalent app of "Remote Desktop" https://askubuntu.com/questions/1253320/logging-into-windows-vdi-from-ubuntu-aka-equivalent-app-of-remote-desktop

Is there a way to log into the Windows VDI (running on Azure) using an app like "Remote Desktop" on Windows? Currently, I can logging in using the Web page (https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient), but as a result, I would not have access to my microphone and webcam on my computer.

The "official" way is using Web or "Remote Desktop" from Windows. Is there any workaround for this?

Why is the mysql-server package from mysql.com missing server files? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1160642/why-is-the-mysql-server-package-from-mysql-com-missing-server-files

I'm usually not using Ubuntu, but decided to give it a try today because it's the preferred distro for Windows Subsystem for Linux, that I wanted to try today to see if/how it could replace my VMWare machines on Windows 10.

So I'm using Ubuntu on WSL, although I don't think it makes a difference here.


Anyway, I installed the MySQL APT repo to get MySQL 8.0:

$ wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.13-1_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.13-1_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Now when I attempt to start the mysql service, I have no luck:

$ sudo service mysql start
mysql: unrecognized service

$ sudo service mysqld start
mysqld: unrecognized service

$ sudo service mysql-server start
mysql-server: unrecognized service

A quick look at init.d shows that there is no file for mysql:

$ ls -al /etc/init.d/mysql*
ls: cannot access '/etc/init.d/mysql*': No such file or directory

Note that I cannot use systemctl to start a service, as systemd is not available on WSL.

Now the interesting part: when I list the files inside the mysql-server package, it only contains files in /usr/share!

$ dpkg-query -L mysql-server
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/mysql-server
/usr/share/doc/mysql-server/LICENSE.gz
/usr/share/doc/mysql-server/README
/usr/share/doc/mysql-server/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/mysql-server/copyright
/usr/share/lintian
/usr/share/lintian/overrides
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/mysql-server

Why is the mysql-server package missing the actual server files in MySQL APT repo?

How to setup squid-deb-proxy and squid-deb-proxy-client to be more autonomous (to work without internet)? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1128514/how-to-setup-squid-deb-proxy-and-squid-deb-proxy-client-to-be-more-autonomous-t

I have server with installed squid-deb-proxy. Let's say that its IP is 10.13.3.7.
I have installed squid-deb-proxy-client on other machines (let's name them clients). Server and clients are in the same network and run Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS.

The repositories to be mirrored are correctly defined in /etc/squid-deb-proxy/mirror-dstdomain.acl to suite clients requirements:

archive.canonical.com
archive.ubuntu.com
changelogs.ubuntu.com
cloud.r-project.org
ddebs.ubuntu.com
deb.opera.com
dl.google.com
dl.winehq.org
download.opensuse.org
downloads.sourceforge.net
download.virtualbox.org
extras.ubuntu.com
mirrors.ubuntu.com
ports.ubuntu.com
ppa.launchpad.net
private-ppa.launchpad.net
ru.archive.ubuntu.com
security.ubuntu.com
typora.io

All clients have the same list of repositories.

The server is working normally - I see both TCP_MEM_HIT/200 and TCP_HIT/200 in /var/log/squid-deb-proxy/access.log on the request of deb-packages.

Yesterday night I have downloaded all updates from one of the clients (ran sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade). So I expect that Squid Deb cache is filled with headers and packages.

On today morning there is no internet because of WAN (ISP) maintenance. I can't ping anything outside the LAN. I can ping 10.13.3.7 from clients.

Thus when I run sudo apt update on clients I see the following messages:

0% [Working]
0% [Waiting for headers]
Err:N http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu release InRelease
Connection failed [IP: 10.13.3.7 8000]
...
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/release/InRelease Connection failed [IP: 10.13.3.7 8000]
... W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

and same for sudo apt upgrade or sudo apt install ...:

0% [Waiting for headers]
Err:N http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/pocket arch name arch version
Connection failed [IP: 10.13.3.7 8000]
E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/....deb Connection failed [IP: 10.13.3.7 8000]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Is it possible to work without internet and get packages from local squid-deb-proxy cache?

Update: setting offline_mode on in /etc/squid3/squid.conf does not help - I get 503 service unavailable errors for some objects during apt-get update. Moreover this options prevents cache update if I have internet access on the server.

I created a form in Libre Base, exported that form as a pdf, and will give that form to others. How can I extract the data from the completed forms and import that data back into the original database in Libre Base? Each form should create a completely new record, it does not append data to a record.

  • How can I extract data from a completed pdf form (or other format) that I created in Libre Base and gave to others and very simply import the data from form #1 to record #1 of the original database in Libre Base?

Thanks.

Brother MFC-J470DW scan function "Check Connection" https://askubuntu.com/questions/481859/brother-mfc-j470dw-scan-function-check-connection

I have a Brother MFC-J470DW printer that I have connected to a Linux desktop (running Ubuntu 14.04) using a wireless router network. The printer works fine for printing and copying, but now I want to add the scan function.

To set up the scan function, I went to the Brother web page Downloads for this printer:

and under Scanner Drivers selected "Scanner driver 64bit (deb package)", "Scan-key-tool 64bit (deb package)", and "Scanner Setting file (deb package)". For each package, I accepted the EULA, and selected "open with Ubuntu Software Center". Then after the USC window pops up, I click on Install and the red line goes from left to right. In each case, the USC window then had a green check mark and the Install box changes to Reinstall (that's how you know it worked).

So now I try it out. Hitting the Scan button on the printer, selecting "Scan to file", and hitting OK produces the message "Check Connection".

I checked the Brother Linux Information FAQ (scanner) page and the 14th question seems the same as mine:

    When I try to use the scan key on my network connected
    machine, I receive the error "Check connection" or I can not
    select anything except "scan to FTP".

I explored the solution given for this FAQ, but found from ifconfig that I am already using eth0, the default setting, so presumably that is not the problem.

I also found brscan-skey installed in /usr/bin and did

drrm@drrmlinux2:~$ brscan-skey -t
drrm@drrmlinux2:~$ brscan-skey

but that didn't help - I still get the "Check connection" message.

What can you suggest to fix this problem?


Brother released an upgrade for scan driver dated 05/06/2014. I installed, but still get the "Check Connection" message. On the downloads page (deb version), they also still state the release date as 12/03/2014 for the scan-key-tool 64-bit and scanner settings file packages, which has not changed. So maybe I just have to wait some months to see if the release date of these other packages changes.

python venv not working https://askubuntu.com/questions/276369/python-venv-not-working

I am running Ubuntu 12.10 that has python 2.7 as its default. I have installed python 3.3 in /opt/python3.3 (using ./configure --prefix=/opt/python3.3). My problem is with the virtual environment. Created one in ~/python33 and activated it. Now after downloading, when I run distribute_setup.py within the venv, the installation defaults to 2.7. And this happens with all the subsequent easy_installs. For reference, here are the final few prompts:

Extracting distribute-0.6.35-py2.7.egg to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
...
Installed /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/distribute-0.6.35-py2.7.egg

I created a symlink pointing to /opt/python3.3/bin/python3 as ~/bin/python33 and tried running distribute_setup.py with this executable. I tried this from within the venv and without. :). But this is what I get for both:

Extracting in /tmp/tmpl3ackg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "distribute_setup.py", line 546, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "distribute_setup.py", line 543, in main
    return _install(tarball, _build_install_args(options))
  File "distribute_setup.py", line 76, in _install
    tar = tarfile.open(tarball)
  File "/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/tarfile.py", line 1571, in open
    raise ReadError("file could not be opened successfully")
tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully

And got the same result with :

sudo /opt/python3.3/bin/python3 distribute_setup.py

~/python33/lib/python3.3/site-packages is empty.

Thanks for your help.
