I'm trying to run a program from 2001 and they've used (according to some forum) an integer to express the amount of available RAM for the installer. An error message saying "not enough memory" interrupts as soon as you start.
I have a 2 gig module but I don't want to reconfigure physically if I can just change boot settings. Maybe there's a way to limit it at runtime even.
The snap version of vscode looks extremely blurred as shown in this screenshot. I'm using a Wayland session with fractional scaling at 150% on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS.
I've tried to use the ozone-platform-hint command line option to see if there is any use but it threw the following output along with vscode opening with the blur still there:
$ code --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations
Warning: 'ozone-platform-hint' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium.

OK - so I'm an extremely experienced programmer mostly on the graphics side. I've been using Linux since it was called "UNIX" but getting a simple sound buffer to play to my speakers is driving me crazy.
I use an nVidia graphics card - and other software has no problem producing stereo through the speakers on my HP monitors. I have two computers - one rather old which is stuck on an older Ubuntu release:
And another running a recent version
I've been reading mountains of awesome posts on the subject and NONE of them work.
I can generate audio by piping my buffer through SOX or aplay - so I know I have the right bit rates, sample size, buffer length, stereo interleave, etc.
But I want C++ code that does it with minimal intervention.
I'm currently trying to get 'libAO' to work - and although I've copy-pasted many code snippets - they all fail when I get to "device = ao_open_live ( driver, &format, NULL ) ;" - when I get an AO_EOPENDEVICE error - which seems to be a problem that it can't open /dev/dsp - which is reasonable because it doesn't exist.
My "apt install yaddayadda" efforts have not produced said device.
void sndImage::PlayLibAO () const
{
int driver ;
ao_device *device ;
ao_sample_format format ;
char *matrix = strdup ( "L,R" ) ;
int bufferSize = GetNumFragments() * 2 ;
// Initialize libao
ao_initialize () ;
driver = ao_default_driver_id () ;
memset ( &format, 0, sizeof(format) ) ;
format.bits = GetBitDepth () ;
format.channels = 2 ;
format.rate = GetSamplesPerSecond () ;
format.byte_format = AO_FMT_NATIVE ;
//format.matrix = matrix ;
errno = 0 ; // Just to be sure!
device = ao_open_live ( driver, &format, NULL ) ;
if ( device == 0 ) // YES IT IS!!
{
const char *message = NULL ;
switch ( errno )
{
case AO_ENODRIVER : message = "AO: No driver corresponds to driver_id." ; break ;
case AO_ENOTLIVE : message = "AO: This driver is not a live output device." ; break ;
case AO_EBADOPTION : message = "AO: A valid option key has an invalid value." ; break ;
case AO_EOPENDEVICE : message = "AO: Cannot open the device "
" (eg: /dev/dsp can't be opened for writing)." ; break ;
case AO_EFAIL : message = "AO: Unspecified cause of failure." ; break ;
default : message = "Unknown AO error." ; break ;
}
fprintf ( stderr, "ERROR: ALSA Audio device open failed : %s\n", message ) ;
ao_shutdown () ;
assert ( false ) ;
}
So AO_EOPENDEVICE...because no /dev/dsp...maybe.
This is quietly driving me insane!

I attempted to following the answer in How can I install and use the latest ydotool (keyboard automation tool working on Wayland) in Ubuntu 22.04?
But got the error message :
ydotool: notice: ydotoold backend unavailable (may have latency+delay issues)
How do I solve this?
I am using a Baseus USB Bluetooth Adapter for my pc, and it works fine. However, when I am simultaneously connected via USB to my phone for tethering, it no longer allows me to turn on Bluetooth.
When I unplug and plug the dongle, Bluetooth apparently gets turned on, but I get a bunch of notifications saying ''Connection failed: Activation of network connection failed" (and it does not work either).
This adapter supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It comes with drivers and software for the Windoze environment. Ubuntu 24.04 recognizes the device but it is not functional out-of-the-box. It seems to require additional software or drivers...

I recently replaced my Kyocera printer with the above. On the previous one multiple copies was no issue.
But new printer won't do multiples of a document. I have the latest printer software from Kyocera.
Is there a fix?

Any experiences?

I'm doing some cleanup on my drives/partitions. I have a 1TB NVMe drive that I use for my /home filesystem, but I just realized that I somehow managed to create it on the "bare" drive without creating a partition table.
In other words, I created it at /dev/nvme0n1 instead of /dev/nvme0n1p1.
I know I can use dd or rsync to create an image or backup of the drive, then wipe it, create a partition table + primary partition, then copy it back, but I'm using 900+ GB so I wanted to avoid that if possible.
Is there any way to do this without actually having to move all the data twice? Somehow leave the data exactly where it is but convert it to a partition?
This is on Ubuntu 22.04 and the filesystem is btrfs, if that matters.
Edit: Gave up on this and reinstalled. Thanks for your help!
Updated my Unbuntu 24.03 (or .04 now possibly) installation this Thursday with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. This morning I noticed my Docker daemon was no longer running and tried a system reboot to resolve this. This has resulted in my system now no longer fully booting, showing the following:
...
Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proce/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Tried mounting my main partion /dev/nvme0n1p3 but that results in:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
A lot of older posts about this with a lot of different 'solutions'. Any known problem I should know about or fixall solution for this? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I have a Framework 13 Laptop with Ubuntu 24.04.4 that I used daily for years without issue.
The Laptop has a NVMe drive and I set it up with a full encryption with LUKS and LVM, just using the default options for this from the Ubuntu 24.04 installation.
Some days ago I ran normal package updates from the GUI, then also a Firmware update, also from the GUI, which failed with a generic error. I can't remember which packages or firmware, unfortunately.
After rebooting, all the system services fail to start: see photo of failing services
I checked for secure boot in UEFI, turning it off or on makes no difference. Ditto Fastboot. There seems to be no RAID option on this Laptop.
I can start a terminal with CTRL+ALT+F3 and log in, and the filesystem is read-only.
I can remount it with: sudo mount -o remount,rw / and it works fine. I can then start sudo systemctl start gdm.service and snapd.service and my system works normally (in fact, typing from it now).
I ran all package upgrades, and successfully updated firmware this time, but the issue persists.
After a lot of wrangling with an Ubuntu USB stick, I think I am sure the NVMe drive is not damaged, I got fsck to run on all partitions without error.
All the guides/AI slop online assumes the read-only filesystem means the disk is going bad somehow but I don't know what else to check.
Also, I think the fstab looks... Wrong. What is this Flashdisk?

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.4 (with Xfce) on the Intel NUC 8 (with UHD Graphics 620 integrated GPU).
My current problem is that all browsers (Chromium and Firefox) render websites very slowly (even local sites during development). The intel_gpu_top does not show blitter or video engine usage when opening a website in browser or video in VLC player.
Please help me find the cause of the problem.
UPD: journalctl has error - "kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] ERROR Failed to probe lspcon"
UPD: chrome://media-internals/ shows error when video playback:
VaapiVideoDecoder: failed Initialize()ing the frame pool
UPD: chrome://gpu/ shows errors (after resetting the chromium flags to default, only the first error remained):

UPD: FIrefox uses GPU video engine when video playback (I just missed it).
UPD: Speedometer3.1 score in Chromium is 7.11, score with --disable-gpu flag is also 6.86. So hardware acceleration definitely doesn't work.

I started using Ubuntu on a Dell touchscreen Chromebook nearly for one month. I bought it off of ebay because the seller described it as a windows 11 Dell touchscreen laptop. The seller never mentioned it used to be a Chromebook. When I took it out of its shipping box, I found it was a Chromebook with Windows 11. It ran windows okay, but not great. So, I intended to restore it back to a Chromebook. I found on youtube a method to first install linux and then Chrome OS. After installing Ubuntu I liked it so much, I decided to keep it.
After one month Ubuntu now says I have to sign in to my home wifi, but it also says it's connected to that wifi and works like it is connected. It does also say it is due for a firmware update. Could that be it? No other device in the house has this wifi connectivity issue. So, what is going on and how can I fix it?
Can you install Ubuntu on a Snapdragon PC?
I've come across this problem in quite a few topics, but unfortunately the proposed solution doesn't apply. I've flawlessly upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04, but 18.04 to 20.04 failed.
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (0,0).
It is suggested to boot a recovery kernel via the Advanced menu, but this is not available for me. I only have one choice.
Here is the screen when I press 'e'.
Do you have any suggestions about how to proceed? I'm running this via Proxmox.
I am trying to get Microsoft Windows' Copperplate Gothic font on my Ubuntu subsystem using WSL. I followed the instructions in this link and the installation seemed to go fine. However, when I run fc-list | grep "Copperplate" I get no results. When I run fc-list | grep "New Roman" I also get no results.
How can I access my newly installed windows fonts on my Ubuntu subsystem via the command line?
I'm trying to do a clean installation in my laptop Lenovo Ideapad S410p with Nvidia, actually running Ubuntu 18.04 in a dual boot with official Windows 10 with no issues.
I just created a USB bootable and trierd to run it, and after the GRUB screen I got the attached error message. I tried to edit the Ubuntu line in that grub to avoid some issues with Nvidia, but nothing worked.

Due to restrictions for Covid in my country I'm in quarantine and I can't get a clean DVD.
I tested the ISO in VirtualBox and installed Ubuntu 20.04 with no issues there, but my main concern is if I need to do a distribution upgrade, would I face the same issue with 20.04?
I found out that my Android phone's cam has a higher quality than the one of my PC and I'm wondering if there is a way to use my phone as a webcam for the computer. Is that possible?
USB (preferred), Bluetooth and LAN connections are all suitable as any other solution that doesn't require any expense (otherwise I would just buy a webcam), but I would prefer to use only open source software if possible.
I get this error when attempting to install the 32-bit ISO for Ubuntu 14.04.6.

I've tried both Ubuntu server and Lubuntu several times and remade the install USB at least once for each. I upgraded the BIOS to 7A33v45 with no change. I've tried the USB in both front and back panel USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. I've verified that the USB is UEFI and FAT32.
Windows 10 Home is currently working on this system. Do you have any thoughts on ways to get the installer to actually launch such as boot options?
I plugged in a 3M touchscreen to my Linux PC. It appears as it recognizes it as a mouse. Here's my xinput output:

After # modprobe -r usbtouchscreen touching device stops working.
On Windows 7 it works after installing driver from this site so I also tried to install Linux driver from here (Linux, Single Touch, 64bit). I think installation process fails as it interrupts immediately after I accept the license (with 0 exit code).
I test my touchscreen with Qt FingerPaint example (also works on Windows, doesn't work on Ubuntu). Debugging shows that multitouch input generates mouse events.
I use Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.10.0-35-generic and tried both Unity and Cinnamon environments. I need this working for programming purposes.

Some of my applications don't work on Ubuntu 17.10 Wayland. How can I switch back to Xorg?
I am trying to get Geany working with Python 3.5 and have made several changes in the Preferences menu. For instance, I changed the Preferences>Tools>Terminal setting to xterm -e "/bin/sh %c" following the Geany manual.
Is there a way to return back to default configuration on Geany ?
I got a computer with Windows 10. After installing Ubuntu along Windows 10 and fixing the boot sector with boot-repair, I ended up with this for the 1st time:
It does work when I choose the first or second to last ones, but how to delete all those redundant items?
I decided before I commit 100% to a distro that I would dual boot Ubuntu and Xubuntu and see after some time which feels better to me. After restarting the computer for the first time I saw this screen:
I was confused as I saw two options for Ubuntu. I know that Xubuntu is a derivative of Ubuntu, but why is it showing up as Ubuntu (and not Xubuntu) in GRUB?
I use Ubuntu 13.10 (freshly installed as 13.04 and later upgraded) on my media center, an Asrock ION 3D. Usually when I boot the computer I get the result below. After rebooting one or several times, I get a successful boot.
Knowing very little about how stuff is working under the hood of Ubuntu, I guess the problem could be related to the build-in IR receiver:
RIP [<...>] ir_raw_event_store_with_filter...
I don't care about IR capabilities since I never use the remote. I can't see an option to disable it through BIOS.
Can I somehow remove the infrared component from Ubuntu, or is my problem related to something completely different?

For a given hardware configuration, how do I find out if Ubuntu will run on it? What considerations should I take into account when choosing an Ubuntu version and flavour such as:
Obviously Ubuntu does not run on some processor architectures. So how do I go about choosing the right version and derivate. How can I find out the minmal system requirements?
