I use Inkscape to run a vinyl cutter. Every time I try to use the cutter I have to change permissions using:

sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyUSB0

I believe there should be a way to set up permissions, possibly using groups, so that the permission is remembered and does not have to be changed every session. However, the information I have been able to find online seems to me to contradictory and confusing. I am wary of making changes without clear instructions as I am concerned about breaking other permissions.

When I run lsusb the entry for the cutter is:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 Serial (UART) IC

I am using Ubuntu 24.04. I am the only user.

Is anyone able to help me with simple step by step instructions please? Any help is much appreciated, but needs to be simple as use Ubuntu as a means to an end.

For a couple weeks now, I've been experiencing random reboots on my laptop.

They happen once or twice a day or not at all, either while in use (black screen), from suspend, or at boot (-> GRUB-menu). All I do at the laptop is write texts and ocassionally game.

From my logs, these "Previous system reset reason" messages jump out at me:

• internal CPU shutdown event occured - Coincides with reboot times, except at boot.
• software wrote 0x6 to reset control register 0xCF9 - Too many, but a few coincide with at boot.
• ACPI power state transition occurred - Rare, possibly unrelated.

See sample logs HERE and HERE. (Some things are redacted.) Also, see my CPU information HERE.

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 26.04, I've had Linux kernel panics at boot once in a blue moon. Could this be relevant?

The only software I've installed within these last few weeks are VSCodium and .NET SDK.

For VSCodium:

1. snap install codium --classic
2. "Getting all telemetry out"
3. Installed muhammadsammy's C# plugin through VSCodium
4. Installed .NET SDK (see later)
5. Uninstall everything (wasn't happy)
   • Including sudo rm /usr/local/bin/dotnet (again, see later)

For .NET SDK:

1. sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --classic (or dotnet-sdk-100 when installing VSCodium)
2. sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/dotnet (for dot-net-100)
3. Added to ~.profile:
   • export DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=true
   • export DOTNET_ROOT=/snap/dotnet-sdk/current

What I've tried:

• Disabling Fast Boot, makes no difference?
• Running MyAsus System Diagnostics (except SSD), all OK
• Keeping tabs on systemctl timers, not correlated

What I haven't tried:

• Running SSD diagnostics (Does this mess with my storage?)
• Running memtest
• Fresh reinstall
• Changing other BIOS/UEFI settings

I am having problem to install ubuntu as its freezing at the stage copying files. I have the new laptop asus rog g16 with amd ryzen9. I ahve tried all the possible steps and set up the settings suitable too. Please help me.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 26.04 LTS to an external SanDisk 4 TB SSD drive from a usb stick.

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

When I click the "Show Log" button, the only message that is displayed is "No journal files were found."

This is very reproducible.

Out of curiosity, is there a way to download the new Yaru theme from somewhere (specifically the new revised Yaru theme in 26.04 LTS)? I was interested in using it in Kubuntu since I prefer that over GNOME but I wasn't sure where I could find all the folders and stuff like that to make an icon pack. I am not planning on publishing it or anything, just want to have it for my personal use.

On ubuntu 22.04 installed postgresql-17. Checking if installed like: dpkg -l | grep postgresql-17

and result is:

ii  postgresql-17   17.10-1.pgdg22.04+1   amd64    The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database

Means version 17 is installed right? But how Can I start server? trying: sudo systemctl start postgresql@17-main

Gives: "Assertion failed on job for postgresql@17-main.service."

I wanted to install zsh on my terminal to customise it. But after running this command: chsh -s $(which zsh). I have encountered an error message or a pop-up window that looks like this:

Any solutions for this?

I have RAID6 disks running well on a old server running Ubuntu 12 with an old mdadm v3.2.5. That RAID is built directly on the disk, not into a partition.

I moved my 5 disks to my new server, with fresh install of Ubuntu 26.

When I boot my new server, the RAID is not created, and a partition is created on the 5 disks! I can not understand how Ubuntu can write to the disks without asking!

If a bring back the disk to my old server, it will not be created, but I can recreate it with the command

mdadm --create /dev/md125 --assume-clean --level=6 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sde /dev/sdd /dev/sdf /dev/sdc /dev/sdb

How can I prevent my new Ubuntu 26 from creating a partition on the 5 RAID disks. I just want UBUNTU to do nothing with them during boot. Than I could use mdadm to assemble, or create the RAID6.

I have played with grub to set to skip option to fsck, and it did not solve my problem. Something else is creating those partitions.

Here is what is created on my 5 RAID6 disks by something

I'm currently using Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. When I first installed it, everything worked perfectly. I'm also quite new to Linux, so I've relied on ChatGPT a lot for help.

While using Ubuntu, I occasionally removed applications that I didn't need. Following ChatGPT's advice, I usually removed applications with:

sudo apt purge <app>

and then ran:

sudo apt autoremove

I was told that sudo apt autoremove only removes unused libraries and that if other applications still needed those libraries, they would either not be removed or could be reinstalled automatically, so it shouldn't affect the system. I trusted that advice.

After some time, I installed and removed many applications while trying to find software that suited my needs, and I'm sure that after uninstalling applications, I often ran sudo apt autoremove.

At some point, I started noticing that some system applications became slow or partially broken. For example, when I click a file upload button in a web browser and the file picker dialog opens, the file picker becomes very laggy and slow, although it doesn't completely freeze.

In addition, my default App Center now crashes and shows the following message:

"Is Not Responding. You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the app to quit entirely."

This makes me suspect that I may have accidentally removed some library that these applications depend on. I've also noticed that this problem seems to affect mainly applications built with Flutter, while most other applications work normally, except that a few of them become laggy during certain operations, like the file picker example I mentioned.

Is there any way to diagnose and fix this problem without reinstalling Ubuntu? I have a lot of important data and would really prefer not to reinstall the operating system.

I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the affected applications, but the problem still persists.

I'm currently running Ubuntu server 26 LTS with Netplan setup during the install.

On Ubuntu Unity 26.04, the touchpad moves, however it does not click or right-click. The touchpad model is "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad", and the laptop is a Lenovo 100e gen 1. It is using the synaptic driver, and switching to libinput has no effect. Libinput list-devices reports 'click method: none' for the touchpad. I have tried unloading and reloading the psmouse kernel module, however that only led to it left-clicking once then holding regardless of input. The issue also effects my external USB mouse.

How I got there: I don't have a precise idea, I think it is a problem with updates. First I had problem with Alsa mixer. My sound didnt work when I wanted to watch a video. Each time I needed to reload alsa for the computer to emit sound. After I have some updates to do, the computer would shut down and I had to turn it back on, but no update was installed and it asked again every time I turned on the PC. This must have been going on for about two months. 5days ago it shut down and I can no longer exit the console screen when I turn on the PC. I can log in.

I'm a noob on Ubuntu, I don't understand and know a lot and how it works so I searched but found nothing to help me.

I want to return to the graphic screen, I think my data is dead but I would prefer to keep it if possible.

I am currently stuck on the console or tty screen. So I tried many commands to exit:

• CTRL + ALT + Fx

  (where x is between 1 to 12) it should work but no, I just change of screen but I don't quit.

• startx

  but that just gave an error:

Oh shoot ! Something went wrong. A problem has occurred and the system cannot recover. Log out and try again.

It doesn't work. Then:

My laptop is new hp Omnibook 3. I just installed Ubuntu 26.04 and noticed that after sleep mode, it cannot see any wifi networks at all. I have to reboot the laptop to be able to connect again.

I have tried to disable wifi.powersave using this post without luck.

I have a Kubuntu server with two SFP+ ports and two 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports.

One of the 10Gbps SFP+ port is connected to a the 10Gbps SFP+ port on the switch using a CAT6 cable. Length 1.5m

I had no problems with it until it was getting hotter.

The connection stuttered and when I pinged from the server to the router, the ping stuttered also.

I noticed the SFP+ modules were really hot and I disconnected them and fall back on the 2.5Gbps Ethernet port.

I searched the internet and SFP+ copper, seems to get really hot.

Then I asked the seller and he proposed some tiny cooling ribs on the SFP+ modules.

Personally, I do not think that’s an adequate solution and definitely, not in a business situation.

• Is there anybody out there who has experienced anything similar and found a decent solution?

• Would it be possible to configure the 2.5Gbps as a fallback port when the SFP+ modules aren’t connected?

  Of course, server IP must remain the same.

• Or is there another solution which I didn’t think of?

My NAS is a AOOSTAR WTR MAX 8845 (aoostar.com/products/…) with two embedded SFP+ ports. The SFP+ modules are HORACO 10Gb SFP+ Module 1.25/2.5/5/10G SFP+ to RJ45 Transceiver on both sides. The switch is also Horaco 8 port 2.5Gbps and 1x 10Gbps SFP+ port. I've found some small heatsinks which I put on the SFP modules and next week, I'll connect them again and will test them. Is there a simple tool or docker to check stability and functionality of the SFP+ modules?

I can't get horizontal scroll of Logitech MX Master 3 to work via Remmina. Scrolling works in the host Ubuntu, but nothing happens via Remmina in Windows 11. It's like the events won't even be sent to Windows.

How to fix this?

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The Windows 11 is running locally as qemu guest, and I have Remmina 1.4.35. And yes, I also have Solaar here in Ubuntu.

I'm trying to replace Windows with Ubuntu 24.04. Currently I use dual boot. I'm experiencing very slow internet speed on Ubuntu compared to Windows 11.

The Snap Store never stops 'loading updates' so I can't update through the Snap Store.

I know that's not the only way to update apps, but the Snap Store seems like something that should work without issue on Ubuntu, right? I'd like to learn what might be wrong and what I can do to fix it.

The longer story:

I upgraded to 24.04.1 the other day. This was my first time upgrading Ubuntu (I'm still a very green user). It was a mostly smooth process. It locked up a couple of times; I restarted the PC a couple of times. Once it finally got going, it said a partial upgrade was suggested due to some third party app obstruction (most likely Fade In). From there on out, though, things ran just fine.

As far as I can tell, there are only two issues with the new install. The first is Ghost Writer (the full screen mode doesn't work. Not a big loss. I reported the bug. We'll see if it gets fixed.) The second is the Snap Store which, even after being left to load updates for 30 minutes, just keeps loading.

Per amar's suggestion, I ran: killall snap-store, as well as: sudo snap update, which returned the following: error: unknown command "update", see 'snap help'.

As some probably know, 'snap help' returned a list of commands, not any helpful info.

Then I ran sudo apt install -f which returned 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded

sudo snap refresh returned: all snaps are up to date

Per user535733's suggestion, I 'Quit' Ubuntu Software using: snap-store --quit then ran snap-store and received the following output:

How to install an additional keyboard language on Ubuntu 22.04?

You use gnome tweaks to turn on hover to focus. But then you can not also use keyboard shortcuts to change between windows AND type in the other windows. You have to then use the mouse to hover over the window you changed to using the keyboard.

Ubuntu 20.04, Libre Office 6.4.7.2

Ubuntu 22.04, Libre Office 7.3.3.2

Kubuntu 24.04, Libre Office 24.2.7.2

Libre Office Calc : With ctrl-f I will get the "search Box", type in something for search a.s.o.. Next string to search a.s.o.. In former Versions of Libre Office, there were always a "search string history" present (arrow down next to the box), but now the pull down box is always empty.

Is there any configuration possible to get the "search string history" as in former SW versions ?

Perhaps I have found a reason but not a way to turn off.

Is it possible to make it independent : The LibreOffice calc "search Box" and the linux clipboard ?

On a Ubuntu Server LTS 20.x, with renderer : networkd, LAN / WAN Connectivity are all properly fucntional. However in Cockpit > Software Updates, it gives the error message:

Loading available updates failed    
Cannot refresh cache whilst offline    

Changing the setting to renderer : NetworkManager
makes Cockpit > Software Updates work flawlessly without impacting the Networking module in Cockpit.

But I would rather stick to renderer : networkd as this is a Server.

Any insight to get renderer : networkd to work ? Or Cockpit just 'needs' NetworkManager ?

Note:

sudo systemctl stop network-manager.service    
sudo systemctl disable network-manager.service     

Will make the Networking module in cockpit fail with error :

Network devices and graphs require NetworkManager

The file manager that came with my installation ("Simple file manager for Gnome") doesn't show thumbnails for jpg, png, and videos. I've gone to /Preferences/Search & Preview and made sure it's set to always show thumbnails but it doesn't. How can I fix this?

I am trying to revive an old Lenovo Ideapad Z360 laptop using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This laptop has an integrated Intel GPU and a discrete Nvidia GPU, as follows:

$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
    Subsystem: Lenovo Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
    Kernel driver in use: i915
    Kernel modules: i915
--
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [GeForce 310M] (rev a2)
    Subsystem: Lenovo GT218M [GeForce 310M]
    Kernel driver in use: nvidia
    Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia

On Ubuntu Mate 20.04, I am able to switch from the Nvidia GPU to the Intel GPU just fine. I can do this using the panel icon (mate-optimus); or using the terminal (prime-select); or using the Nvidia application (nvidia-settings). They all work, and the desktop loads just fine after I logout and login back again. The "on demand" option doesn't work --- mate-optimus' github states that "NVIDIA On-Demand (known as PRIME Render Offload) will require the NVIDIA 435 drivers", so I guess this excludes my GPU (which uses NVIDIA 340 drivers) ---, but I am ok with that. I am happy being able to switch between the Intel and Nvidia GPUs when needed. On Ubuntu Mate 20.04, this works just fine.

However, on Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome), switching to the Intel GPU doesn't work!!

First thing I noticed is that the "PRIME Profiles" menu section was not available in the Nvidia application (nvidia-settings). I was able to fix that by installing the nvidia-prime package (which came pre-installed in Ubuntu Mate, but not in Ubuntu Gnome).

However, when I try to switch to the Intel GPU, I am not able to log back into the desktop after I logout (it loops back to the gdm3 greeter). If I reboot when the Intel GPU is selected, than I get a black screen. In order to fix that, I have to either switch back to the Nvidia GPU (using prime-select), or remove all nvidia packages (and use the nouveau driver instead).

So my question is: Why does it work on Ubuntu Mate, but not on Ubuntu Gnome?

I want to install a vnc-server on a Ubuntu 18.04 desktop (clean install). I've tried vino, tigervnc, tightvnc. For vino, I don't get the screensharing option in the settings. For tigervnc and tightvnc the installation proceeds, I create the configuration, but when I try to connect I get a grey screen with a cross cursor.

I've tried a VM (clean installation) with Ubuntu 19.04 desktop and vino-server, turned screen sharing on. When I tried to connect with Remmina from the host, I get a black screen, no cursor.

I'm lost here, have spent hours to get this working, thought this should be a straightforward thing to do.

How can I get screensharing via VNC to work?

SSH is running, UFW disabled.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Desktop.

I'm connecting to the desktop via remote SSH session.

I'm trying to get the current resolution for the currently active local session.

I found these seemingly relevant questions:

• How do I find out my screen resolution from a shell script?

• How can I get the monitor resolution using the command line?

• How do I change local display resolution via SSH?

However, xdpyinfo returns the following error:

xdpyinfo:  unable to open display "".

and xrandr returns a similar error:

Can't open display

I'm assuming this is because there is no display connected to my remote SSH session. I've tried switching (su) to the same user as the local session, but the error is the same - I assume for the same reason: no display related to that SSH session.

So, I tried the suggestions from my third link above.

$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ xdpyinfo
No protocol specified
xdpyinfo:  unable to open display ":0"

and

$ xrandr --display :0
No protocol specified
Can't open display :0

How can I poll the display on the active local session for resolution (dimension) info from a remote SSH session?

There is a bash command that comes with installing PyQT Creator called designer that will run a tool called Qt Designer, found under the Qt Creator package. It helps you create GUIs - pretty cool stuff.

There is a problem though... whenever I run designer, I get this error:

designer: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/designer': No such file or directory

And that's great - I don't want it to execute /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/designer, I want it to execute /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/designer, the difference being between "qt4" (first path) and "qt5" (second path). That's where designer is.

I looked around and found this command type -a (command) and it would tell you where the command definition is "located", if I understand correctly. So I looked it up and got:

$ type -a designer
designer is /usr/bin/designer

But I can't edit that file... it's a bunch of gibberish (side question, what does it mean when a file has no file extension? What does that make it?)

So, my question is, how can I get the command designer to execute /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/designer?

Edit: which designer also returns /usr/bin/designer,

also: $ file /usr/bin/designer /usr/bin/designer: symbolic link to qtchooser'

So I also took a look at qtchooser... seems like its a command (not entirely sure what it does).

Here is some output:

file /usr/bin/qtchooser 
/usr/bin/qtchooser: ELF 64-bit LSB  executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=96215e9441b8361f0cc57b37db70fc50752cb05a, stripped

A certain cellphone maker has changed the default format of taking pictures to HEIF (.HEIC, High Efficiency Image File Format), without asking the users (although there is still the option to use jpeg/jpg).

Is there an app/program on Ubuntu that can open and/or convert HEIF-pictures and even let them be edited?

I have been dealing with this problem for a couple of days but couldn't find a solution. I've posted on a forum before but nobody answered. Any help?

A couple of days ago a problem started to occur. I can't watch YouTube videos anymore. When I open a video, the animation goes on and on... until the message "an error has occurred". Very very very rarely sometimes a video loads. (Today it never happened, yesterday only once)

Like I said, a couple of days ago it was all working. I didn't do any updates. After this problem, I've installed every update, didn't solve the problem.

It is not browser specific, Google Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Opera... All have the same problem. It is YouTube specific, I can watch videos on Facebook (not loaded through YouTube) and vimeo and more. I have reinstalled the flash-plugin, didn't solve. (Yet it is not about flash) It is not about my network, using the same network, Windows Laptop, iPhone, Android Tablet all load v

Any suggestions? Sorry if it is a repost, it's hard to find this problem in the dozens of "restricted-extras not installed" problems...

I installed Ubuntu Linux on my Thinkpad T430 and everything works until last week. Because then I bought a new monitor with a higher screen resolution than full hd. So I cannot run the monitor with a higher resolution than 1920*1080.

The T430 is running with two graphic cards:

• Intel HD 4000
• Nvidia Quadro NVS 5400M

The notebook also allows running in "Optimus" mode.

I want to use the Thinkpad T430 and two monitors:

• one with FULL HD resolution on the VGA port
• and one with 2550x1400 resolution on the mini Display port

I tried these approaches:

Optimus mode = enabled In BIOS I enabled the Optimus mode (without bumblebee) and in Ubuntu 13.04 everything works, even both monitors get detected. But the problem is, the monitor connected to the mini display port (2550x1400) doesn't render the mouse courser correctly. It is laggy, so ALL mouse positions of the courser of the last 5 seconds are shown.

In this setup no extra software is installed, only the drivers delivered by ubuntu. This works so far the best. Only the mouse courser problem sucks. But I don't know what to do about that. Any suggestions?

Optimus mode = disabled, run only on Nvidia graphic card I installed Ubuntu 13.04 with only the Nvidia graphic card enabled. Works fine. But I can only run one monitor (which would be okay), but the max resolution was 1920*1080, even on the monitor with a higher default resolution.

Any suggestions to fix that?

Optimus mode=disabled/enabled, use Nvidia drivers I also tried installing the nvidia drivers via 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' but that did not work. After that the system does not boot anymore. Only a black screen is shown after boot loader. The system only boots if I enable optimus mode. I assume that the Intel graphic card is used in that case.

**bumblebee* I tried installing bumblebee with optimus mode=enabled. I got it installed, but it did not get the monitor on the mini display port detected. So it didn't work as I assumed it would.

I am not a linux expert and I am really stuck with this problem. Do you guys have any ideas or suggestions how I can get either the nvidia graphic card or the optimus mode running? I don't care if the battery is running out of energy very fast.

If you need anything else, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to add subdomains to my home server.

svn.domain.com trac.domain.com

Due to dynamic IP I use dyndns service, on top of that I have domain.com hosted somewhere else. I created CNAME for subdomains on remote host to point to my user.dyndns.org domain.

So now when I visit either of subdomains: trac or svn, I see "It works!" message.

This done, I created two virtual host files under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

file1: svn.domain.com and file2: trac.domain.com

contents:

<VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerName trac.domain.com

   DocumentRoot = /var/www/trac/repos

   <Directory /var/www/trac/repos>
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
   </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

And

<VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerName svn.domain.com

   DocumentRoot = /var/svn/repos

   <Directory /var/svn/repos>
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
   </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

But I get error: ERROR: Site trac.domain.com does not exist!

what am I doing wrong?
