I have been using Kubuntu for the past year and I use the stock gestures that come with the operating system, but I also have another device running Windows 11 that has trackpad gestures that can be customized with different modifications like swiping down to show the desktop? Etc. I don't mind the gestures that already come with Kubuntu, but I would like a way to modify them.

My laptop: Dell Latitude 5480 (Fingerprint version)

Description:

I’m unable to boot Ubuntu Server after migrating the system from an HDD to an SSD on an ARM-based system. Here’s what I did and the current state:

Steps to reproduce:

1. I cloned the EFI partition from my original HDD (/dev/sdc1) to a new SSD (/dev/sde1) using mount and cp (or another cloning tool). Both partitions are 500 GB.
2. Set the SSD as the boot drive in UEFI/BIOS as the first priority.

Current behavior:

When booting, GNU GRUB (version 2.12) only shows one option:

*UEFI Firmware Settings

No Ubuntu boot entry appears, and I cannot proceed to the OS.

Seeing only "UEFI Firmware Settings" in GRUB usually means GRUB isn't detecting your Linux kernel or other OS entries, often due to incorrect EFI System Partition (ESP) mounting, missing kernel modules, issues during installation, or disabled OS Prober, requiring steps like reinstalling GRUB with correct partition mounts (e.g., ESP to /boot or /boot/efi), enabling os-prober, disabling Windows Fast Startup, or running efibootmgr to manually create entries.

What I’ve tried:

1. Checked that the EFI partition on the SSD contains a /boot/efi/EFI folder.

   userA@ubuntu:~$ sudo ls -al /boot/efi
   total 24
   drwx------ 3 root root 16384 Jan  1  1970 .
   drwxr-xr-x 1 root root   120 Dec 10 17:17 ..
   drwx------ 4 root root  8192 Dec 17  2018 EFI
   

2. Try to use Boot Repair to fix the problem but got error message:

   64bits detected. Please use this software in a 64bits session. (Please use Boot-Repair-Disk-64bit (www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd) which contains a 64-bits-compatible version of this software.) This will enable this feature.

3. Try to re-generate the GRUB configuration file.

   # Regenerate the GRUB configuration file
   grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
   
   # Reinstall GRUB for UEFI systems
   grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB
   

   But got error:

   grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/aarch64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
   

System information:

• Architecture: ARM (Marvell® ThunderX2® CN9975 28-core ARM processors)
• Original HDD: /dev/sdc1 (EFI partition)
• Target SSD: /dev/sde1 (cloned EFI partition)
• Ubuntu version: 24.04.3 LTS

How can I rebuild the GRUB boot entries or fix the boot configuration from a USB live Ubuntu desktop environment?

The Windows 11 SATA drive kept trying to boot first despite my attempts at changing the boot sequence in the BIOS as well as a few other fixes that failed until I just decided to wipe them both and create all new partitions with Ubuntu Studio installed on the NVMe drive and use the other SATA drive to partition as ext4 for storage use for Ubuntu and just chuck Windows altogether for now at least. This took some doing, but I had AI assisting (Claude). Although we did manage to get things running the start-up was still having to press F12, then F2 and scroll to UEFI options and choose the NVMe option to boot Ubuntu.

Today upon powering on I got the message "no drive found to boot from" or similar. So I rebooted, pressed F12 and don't know why there is now "Ubuntu" as well as "NVMe" options under UEFI BOOT, as the NVMe is the Ubuntu drive. And I no longer see the other hard drive, maybe due to taking it off legacy in BIOS boot options after checking the "clear" box in the Security section of the BIOS window as advised to do.

I'm trying to get my Ubuntu Studio running normally or not having to deal with starting it up and getting something other than the Ubuntu studio windows. The other AI has been assisting for 3 days now, so I thought I'd get a fresh perspective on things. Can you help me?

Maybe I just need to remove the hardware I added (the SATA SSD?). I don't know. I originally would have liked to have a dual boot with Windows 10 on the SATA SSD and tried settling for just Ubuntu at least functioning consistently.

I am using a fresh install of Kubuntu 25.10. But after booting, I get a black screen. Then, I can press Ctrl+Alt+F3 to get a console. After logging in, I execute

startplasma-wayland

and the Desktop loads...
But without this manual procedure nothing happens and the screen stays black.

So my question is:
What breaks the automatism and how can I fix it?
And has it anything to do with the NVidia drivers (I'm using nvidia-driver-580-open)?

10th December update broke Chrome & Brave. Makes me log-in with log-in ring password (it didn't before) & all of my bookmarks have vanished. I'm logged out of everything. Firefox is working fine. Will this be fixed soon? I'm running Ubuntu LTS (24.04 LTS). Brave & Chrome were running fine until the update.

I followed the manual for building ubuntu-image classic

https://canonical-subiquity.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/howto/ubuntu-image-classic-examples.html

and I got an error:

Error: Error running command "/usr/sbin/chroot img/scratch/loopback grub-install /dev/loop3 --boot-directory=/boot --efi-directory=/boot/efi --target=x86_64-efi --uefi-secure-boot --no-nvram". Error: exit status 1. Output:

grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.

I have installed Xubuntu v25.10 on a old Chromebook.

It seems to be working fine however if I open the App Center app there is screen tearing happening.

It flickers between normal and scrambled.

I have no problems with other apps I have tried. I have used Xfce Terminal, Firefox and LibreOffice Writer so far.

If I run lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' I get the following:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 35)
   DeviceName: VGA compatible controller
   Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 7270
   Kernel driver in use: i915
   Kernel modules: i915

I am not a Linux user so I don't know where to start to fix the problem.

I tried the following from the https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1cfzjpj/screen_flickering_in_ubuntu_2404/ thread but Xubuntu was no longer booting into the graphical environment so I had to delete the created file:

sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel_flicker_fix.conf 

Created these lines in the file:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection 

I have now tried all the programs installed on Xubuntu and the screen tearing is happening on 2 apps; App Center and Firmware Updater.

Apologies in advance for poor formatting. I have to do this on my phone because I'm locked out on my laptop & it's infuriating.

I installed a few apps (GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, Gnome Tweaks) then my laptop locked from idle time while I was waiting for a few updates. When I went to log in again it gave me "Authentication Error" when just clicking on the password entry box. I attempted to restart to fix the issue (There was no option to do a normal shut down so I suppose this would be considered an unclean shutdown) & this is what I was left with

I've tried running the command sudo systemctl start graphical.target to no avail, it simply moves me to another line as if to enter another command

Why am I stuck on this screen? It's like a full screen terminal & nothing else is showing. I've tried everything I can think of & it keeps saying it's wrong.

Do I need to reinstall Ubuntu? What is the problem?

I am creating a script for my Java Library to run. However fdisk (when resizing my partition) constantly throws an error.

Here's the script: https://gist.github.com/RishonDev/2affcd0002b970855a222b5e9fdf4a41

The --addPartition is where it goes wrong. Rest of the stuff works fine. What may be the cause? The command I used is listed below (pass is the password of the admin account of that linux system.)

PASSWORD="pass" ./format2.sh --addPartition /dev/sda 100MiB fat32 EFI

Here's the output of part sudo parted -m -s /dev/sda unit MiB print free

The files copy normally on nautilus and the filesystem is ext4. The current version of Ubuntu is 25.10 and it's on a virtual machine (Using UTM for macOS). Feel free to ask for more details.

Yesterday I installed a new GPU the Radeon RX 9070XT Tiachi. My system won't recognize the card.

Steps I have taken:

Motherboard MSI PRO B850-P wifi, updated BIOS:

latest version: AMI BIOS 7E56v2A75 2025-09-10

Updated my kernel from 6.17 to 6.18.0-061800-generic (Ubuntu 25.10)

also updated to Mesa 25.3.1

Uninstalled the AMD GPU stack and reinstalled the latest version:

dpkg -l | grep amdgpu

ii amdgpu-install 30.20.1.0.30200100-2255209.24.04 all AMDGPU driver repository and installer

ii libdrm-amdgpu1:amd64 2.4.125-1ubuntu0.1 amd64 Userspace interface to amdgpu-specific kernel DRM services -- runtime

ii libdrm-amdgpu1:i386 2.4.125-1ubuntu0.1 i386 Userspace interface to amdgpu-specific kernel DRM services -- runtime

Currently I have my HDMI plugged into the motherboard (R7 7700 cpu) so that I can see, because when I connect the DP to the GPU my screen stays black.

I am curious about this bit, 512MB is from the integrated graphics, but the 16GB should be my new card?

I've been scouring the internet for a couple of hours trying to find a solution, but so far anything I've tried hasn't worked.

I hope someone can help me out with figuring this out, thanks in advance.

In October I migrated from Windows 10 to Ubuntu, rather than suffer Windows 11. It has been going well, but I am getting this problem when Ubuntu Discover tries to do a firmware update:

Ubuntu Discover update "failed to write-firmware: failed to write (null): failed to write data to efivarsfs: Error writing to file descriptor: Invalid argument"

Even more irritating, I dismiss the error message and it pops right back. The Discover updater captures the cursor too quickly to close the program, leaving me stuck. The cursor/mouse is captured by Discover, leaving me unable to do anything other than close the error message box, which pops right back endlessly.

The first time this happened, I tried the reset button on the PC, but that had the bad side effect of leaving a couple drives with "missing mount points", which I had to remove from the PC and put in my old Windows 10 PC and run partition manager to scan them for errors, then back in to my main PC and all was happy again. Yes, I know there is a way to do this in Ubuntu, but I felt too newbie to try it and risk losing important data. And yes, I do have a back up, but some recent things might have been lost.

The second time this happened, just this morning, I was able to click on the Discover icon on the left of the Task Manager bar and manage to quit Discover after several tries. A quick right click on the icon and then a typed Q to quit, if done quickly enough was able to do the job.

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 25.10, once I connected my Bluetooth headphones, it just keeps making the hardware connect/disconnect sounds repeatedly.

I checked dmesg, journalctl, etc - no unusual activity, nothing connecting or disconnecting.

Any idea what could be happening? The only "solution" I've found is to turn off system sounds altogether.

Last year I bought a Dell G15 5530. It came with Ubuntu 22 LTS. I decided to change OS to Ubuntu 24, and it worked perfectly for a year until recently.

After an update I lost wifi access: after boot my wifi connected for a minute, then stopped working. Turning off and on the wifi from the applet resulted in two behaviours:

• the wifi adapter not being able to detect networks;
• no wifi adapter found.

I am on slow USB tethering since the update in mid september.

I tried to solve the issue looking for my problem here, then using chatGPT. Summarizing more than a month of tribulation, I tried to:

• update the kernel from generic 6.8 to HWE (6.14)
• reinstall the singular required modules from web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/intel/iwlwifi/
• restart after powering off for 30 seconds the machine.
• boot a clean ubuntu 24 from a usb

Lastly, I present a sequence of commands after which I fixed the issue for a week:

1. change updates' source to https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and reinstall the firmware (I was using the US source with http)
2. sudo apt-get clean
3. sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
4. sudo apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true -o Acquire::Retries=3 update
5. sudo apt-get upgrade
6. sudo apt-get clean
7. sudo apt autoremove
8. wget http://ftp.usf.edu/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb
9. sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb
10. sudo reboot now sudo apt-get clean

wget http://ftp.usf.edu/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb

For a week, and I thought the problem was solved. Hours after another update (which did not contain firmware updates), while using bluetooth headphones to watch a streamed movie, the bluetooth disconnected, then the wifi went down, and the issue came back.

The file linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb is not hosted anymore on the source I used.
Running again sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb results in the wifi applet to display, and work for a minute.
Running sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.19_amd64.deb results in the wifi applet to disappear, sometimes alongside the bluetooth one.

Booting from a ubuntu 22 usb results in wifi working, but I would prefer to keep this os.

To get a full report of my system I disconnected the Tethering USB, and ran wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && chmod +x wireless-info && sudo ./wireless-info

I posted the results here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JP5qshCDmF/

Update: after running sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb, reboot, disconnecting power source and flea power reset, it seems that I have working wifi, as long as I don't turn on bluetooth and do not update to the 2.19 firmware.
How do I proceed? from now?

Update: I turned on the pc, and in the matter of minutes the wifi was gone again: first troubles finding networks, then the applet disappeared.
I tried to update again (to 2.19), and reboot + flea power reset. For now I have wifi again, but this process takes more than an hour to fix every time, and the fix is not guaranteed to last.

I am on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS running on an HP ZBook 15 G2. My problem is that when I attach my computer to a USB docking station and plug headphones into the dock's aux port, they are not detected; i.e. they do not show up as an option in the "Output Device" dropdown of the sound menu in Settings, only the laptop's internal speakers show up. The headphones work and when I plug them directly into the laptop's aux port, they show up as Headphones - Built-in Audio in the dropdown and I can play audio through them. When I was running Windows on this computer, the dock fully worked, including the aux port. After switching to Ubuntu, it seems that the aux port and USB ports on the dock do not work, which leads me to believe that it may be some missing USB driver. The rest of the dock works fine (monitors, Ethernet, charging).

Alsamixer indicates that I'm using PipeWire for the card and chip. I also installed PulseAudio Volume Control and it also doesn't detect headphones in the dock (Headphones: Unplugged). Oddly enough, it does detect the speakers of an external monitor connected to the dock as GK 106 HDMI Audio Controller Digital Stereo (HDMI).

I'm facing some troubles in the first configuration for ultrawide monitor. My laptop is a dell vostro 3501, core i5-1035G1 and monitor is a LG Ultrawide 25.7, model 26WQ500-B, 2560x1080, 75Hz

To create a modeline with the monitor's setup, I ran this command:

cvt 2560 1080 75

which displayed this:

2560x1080 74.94 Hz (CVT) hsync: 84.68 kHz; pclk: 294.00 MHz
Modeline "2560x1080_75.00"  294.00  2560 2744 3016 3472  1080 1083 1093 1130 -hsync +vsync

I ran the next command to create a new modeline using xrandr:

xrandr --newmode "2560x1080_75.00"  294.00  2560 2744 3016 3472  1080 1083 1093 1130 -hsync +vsync

I added this modeline to the LG Monitor HDMI output, described as XWAYLAND0 (xrandr):

xrandr --addmode XWAYLAND0 "2560x1080_75.00"

And finally, set the default output for XWAYLAND0 (HDMI port):

xrandr --output XWAYLAND0 --mode "2560x1080_75.00"

and it didn't work! A message was displayed further:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  139 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  21 (RRSetCrtcConfig)
  Value in failed request:  0x556
  Serial number of failed request:  29
  Current serial number in output stream:  29

I really don't understand what's going on. I use the same LG Monitor in a core i5 8º generation laptop, with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed and it works perfectly, the 2560x1080 resolution. Just like I checked other discussions about Wayland and Xrandr compatibility or CVT can't gives the right parameters for modeline, maybe a customized modeline could work. I'd really aprecciate some help. Thank you, guys

From couple of days I have the latest Ubuntu 22.04 and I'm very happy - but first time I have issues with my bt mouse (Logitech MX Master) When I connect my mouse via bluetooth and set pointer speed and flat type - everything is fine, but everytime when I disconnect mouse and reconnect I loose mouse settings and have to set pointer speed manually. I'm using KDE and have a question - why after reconnect my mouse Ubuntu don't launch saved mouse configuration ? I tried even set configuration with xinput but with no effect. Is is possible to install some alternative app for ubuntu which will control my mouse settings ?

I initially followed instructions to install postgres and pgadmin4 from https://tecadmin.net/install-pgadmin4-on-ubuntu/ successfully.

I seemed to be able to get to the site at http://localhost/pgadmin4 but couldn't login.

After a few attempts to reset the pgadmin4 user/password. I thought okay I'll just remove/reinstall it with:

sudo apt-get autoremove pgadmin4 pgadmin4-apache2

When I re-installed I am not reprompted for the pgadmin user info AND the url which previously worked now gives a 404 not found.

I have restarted the server.

I have rebooted after reinstallation.

I did a recursive search for pgadmin to remove any trace of it from my pc before reinstalling on machine.

I've looked in /etc/apache2 sites-enable, mods-enabled, config-enabled etc... to see if there are traces of the previous install.

I've searched here and stackoverflow and the web generally but not having much success.

Hi first of all i'm a first time user and a newbs in this computer thing.

So i try to install linux on my windows laptop and it gave the eror:

TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x22 (or later)*  
couldn't get size: 0x0000000000000e

My laptop is Asus X450J:

Intel® Core™ i7 4700HQ Processor,

Intel® HM86 Express Chipset

8GB DDR3L 1600 MHz SDRAM, up to 16 G

NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 745M 2GB DDR3

​

I have updated my bios in the asus website:

https://www.asus.com/Laptops/X450JF/HelpDesk_BIOS/

and also try the solution from:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/92uxbf/unable_to_install_ubuntu_firmware_bug_tsc_deadline/

​

yet nothing works, any suggestion?

Edited: First thank you for the input.

1. Are you booting off of a CD? A USB? How did you create the USB?

USB, i created with Rufus 3.6 bootable from ISO file

2.When does this error occur? What solution did you try from the redit thread?

it happened when I try to install ubuntu or try ubuntu everytime. the solution i try from reddit is this:

• Boot the usb and press arrow down for "install ubuntu"
• Press "E"
• go down to the linux line and press END-key
• write ACPI=off nomodeset
• press F10 to restart

But nothing changes

3. Are you first booting into the "try Ubuntu" and installing from there or are choosing "install Ubuntu" from the menu that appears when you boot?

I tried all of the methods: a. "try Ubuntu" resulted in same error. b. install ubuntu also resulted in same eror

When I wait out the process (after screen showing TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata....) lots of programming line seems flashing really fast after that it enters a screen with ubuntu and loading dots but after that nothing happen.

The installation is done with USB. I also tried with Linux mint but the results remain the same. I also try to redownload the installation from the website and redo the process but nothing changes.

on the Ubuntu 18.04 system I have cloned a project and to run it needs gradle but at running the gradle command gradle swiplRun I get the following error

Task :dockerRun FAILED docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.39/containers/create?name=swiprolog: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied. See 'docker run --help'.

Task :dockerRunStatus FAILED Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.39/containers/swiprolog/json: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied

FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures.

to solve I tried

$ sudo groupadd docker
$ sudo usermod -a -G docker myname  
"and once with"
$ sudo gpasswd -a myname docker

so I can run docker commands without sudo, but the same error also ./gradlew --stop and logout/login and reboot did not work too.

is it because of Docker or Gradle?

This is yet another question on the subject, the others were closed, but without providing enough help to get me going.

So, when I go to Language and Region settings I can install a яверты Russian phonetic keyboard, i.e. a Russian keyboard where qwerty maps to яверты. This mapping never made much sense to me, I would like to use a keyboard where qwerty maps to яшерты.

I found only scarce pieces of information on the web on how to do it and all implied some level of prior knowledge. I have none. I am comfortable with the command line, though.

Can anyone provide a detailed guide on how this can be achieved or a link to such a guide? Please, assume zero knowledge on the subject of mapping keyboards in linux.

Online I find that there used to be a sticky edges toggle in the Displays settings window, but I can't find it there.

Was the feature dropped? Was the toggle moved?

As the tag says: I'm on Kubuntu, not vanilla Ubuntu.

I am trying to connect my android phone to pc. But generally my phone is not detected. I donot have any firewall enabled. Eventhen KDE connect is not showing my device.

How can I connect my android device by "ADD DEVICES BY IP " option. How to use it. How to find which IP to keep?

I just purchased a network adapter which according to the driver CD is a RT2870 (It isn't written on the adapter). I've installed other things using commands before but the instructions on the readme file that came with it are quite confusing.

Has anybody made this network adapter work successfully in Ubuntu? I'd really appreciate some simple step by step instructions of how to make this work.

Is is possible to put code snippets into an OpenDocument Text file (.odt) file? I want it to be inside a bordered box, etc...

And I would like to know whether there is any way to add plugins to LibreOffice Writer?

I run on one problem. My USB Bluetooth dongle ASUS USB-BT400 is not working. I'm googling the whole day for some clues, but without success. Could you please help me?

USB device is properly found:

lsusb:

But when I try to hciconfig, I don't get any output.

I tried it with some old BT dongle, and that worked... But I need to use especially this one because of BT4.0 support.

According to this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2013-September/053719.html It uses BCM20702A chipset, which should work under Linux, but maybe it's not properly recognized with this device? (Same issue, which is described in the linked site)

I will appreciate any help.

How do I restart the GPU from command line?

Using a HP DV6 laptop with Ubuntu 12.04-64 and an ATI mobile GPU. Installed the standard ATI propriety drivers suggested by Ubuntu. When I close the lid, the computer goes down to suspend mode. When open the lid, everything but the screen resumes again. Just black. I'll guess I have to put a GPU reset script in /etc/pm/sleep.d. But how do I restart/reset the GPU?

I have a six year old little sister. She gets online. My parents want her on a kid safe browser like Zoodles.

Are there any for Linux? Is it possible to install Zoodles on Linux? All the ones I've found download the install stuff for windows.

Also. I'm brand new to Linux, so instructions on how to would be much appreciated. =3

I have Ubuntu 12.10, Just in case that matters.

Is it possible to make the ssh client not care what IP a ssh server is behind (and if a different server was behind that IP earlier) but instead trust specific server keys? (And maybe nickname those keys?) I use dynamic DNS and I have IPv6 privacy extensions enabled on some computers and am always getting asked if it think it's safe to connect. Another possibility is addresses assigned by DHCP getting assigned to different ssh servers and causing all sorts of 'key doesn't match IP' errors.
