I am using Text Editor 46.3 in Ubuntu 24.04. I prefer to keep the "Spaces per Tab" setting at 4, however even after changing the setting, I still get 2 spaces per tab.
Is this a glitch or am I missing something?
I am on Ubuntu 24.04. I would like to upgrade to 24.10. I had Prompt=lts set in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades, so upon running do-release-upgrade, it said that there were no available upgrades and that to change it to Prompt=normal in order to upgrade my release. I did so, but this time it gave me a message about 25.10. I am not interested in upgrading to 25.10, I want to upgrade to 24.10. Does that message mean that I can only upgrade to 25.10? How can I make it upgrade to 24.10 instead?
I am currently running regular Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS on my Lenovo ThinkPad A275. For a Windows 10 or 11 install on the same machine, the trackpoint buttons behave as would the respective ones on a regular mouse (middle serving as middle mouse button). Running Ubuntu, the mouse buttons the trackpoint buttons correspond to remain the same, except instead of registering as a press when pressed (so the release is registered only when released, as with a regular mouse), they register as a click (so it artificially registers the button as having been released in around 10ms) --- which means that I cannot perform actions that one would usually require a button on a mouse to be pressed continuously. Here is an example event from libinput pertaining to the press (and continued holding) of a left trackpoint button:
-event7 POINTER_BUTTON +28.939s BTN_LEFT (272) pressed, seat count: 1
event7 POINTER_BUTTON +28.948s BTN_LEFT (272) released, seat count: 0
releasing the button afterwards is not registered.
I wish to change this to correspond to standard mouse button presses again instead. Gnome tweaks did not provide any settings to address this, and it is not entirely clear to me how to use xinput or xbindkeys (or if one can easily use it in this case) to fix this. The trackpad buttons work as normal. Changing to synaptic or evdev drivers did not fix the issue.
It would also be nice to configure the middle trackpoint button to act as on Windows --- allowing one to scroll (including sideways) when holding it (it is partially configurable in firefox, say, but would be nice if it was useable across all programs) and moving the trackpoint.
I ran my ACER laptop with Windows alongside my Ubuntu (one harddrive) perfectly until Windows forced an update. Now Ubuntu isnt able to boot and falling back to BusyBox shell as follows: " Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
I assume this is a rather quick fix for advanced users but too hard for me :/ Help is much much appreciated since I need to access my data rather urgently.
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: Both Win and Ubuntu run in UEFI mode. Set the Intel VMD (Volume Management Device) option to 'disabled'. I deactivated Hybernate / Fast boot in Windows. Still falling to shell while booting Ubuntu.
In accordance to user comment I added the output of sudo blkid and lsblk -f -o +partuuid .After that there is the report from boot-repair via live session.

In the recent upgrade, the following packages changed:
Start-Date: 2026-02-28 19:10:05
Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-commit-packages' sender=':1.3465'
Upgrade: google-chrome-stable:amd64 (145.0.7632.109-1, 145.0.7632.116-1), software-properties-common:amd64 (0.99.49.3, 0.99.49.4), python3-software-properties:amd64 (0.99.49.3, 0.99.49.4), software-properties-gtk:amd64 (0.99.49.3, 0.99.49.4), linux-firmware:amd64 (20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.23, 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.25), brave-browser:amd64 (1.87.190, 1.87.191)
End-Date: 2026-02-28 19:10:25
Today, I discovered that my this upgrade caused my system 32GB of RAM to show up as 4GB of RAM. I suspect that linux-firmware:amd64 (20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.23, 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.25) caused this issue.
How do I undo this problem?
Update:
I ran:
sudo apt install linux-firmware=20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.23
Although this older firmware failed to be installed, I did notice something related to a AMD or microcode? package had changed; sorry I did not record down the returned message from the above command to share it here.
After rebooting the system, I entered the UEFI and found that 32GB RAM did reappear there. Also, after logging into Ubuntu, I found that 32GB RAM was reported there too.
$ apt policy linux-firmware
linux-firmware:
Installed: 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.25
Candidate: 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.25

20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/main amd64 Packages
The above shows that the latest linux-firmware is still being used and that the previous command did not change it.
I also explore upgrading ASRock X870E Nova WiFi motherboard firmware to the latest stable version, i.e. X870ENA4.04.ROM. After this upgrade, 32GB RAM is still shown on my system.
I hope this info can help others with the same issue too.
I am facing a critical issue where my Wi-Fi has completely disappeared. This hardware was working perfectly on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jellyfish). The issue started after upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 and subsequently trying the 6.19.3 mainline kernel. Now, even when rolling back to the standard 24.04 kernel (6.8.100), the hardware remains invisible.
System Specs:
Model: Dell Latitude 5511
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-10850H (Comet Lake)
Wi-Fi Card: Intel AX201 (CNVi)
OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
Current Kernel: 6.8.100-generic (also tested 6.19.3)
The Problem: The Wi-Fi card is no longer appearing on the PCIe bus. lspci returns absolutely nothing for the network controller. In GNOME settings, the Bluetooth icon is visible but "disabled" and cannot be toggled.
Diagnostics run so far:
Hardware Bus Check:
lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 network → Empty output.
lsusb → Intel Bluetooth module is NOT listed.
Kernel Logs:
dmesg | grep iwlwifi → Empty output. (The kernel isn't even attempting to load the driver because the hardware isn't detected on the bus).Firmware/Filesystem:
Manually updated /lib/firmware from the official linux-firmware.git (kernel.org).
Verified iwlwifi-Qu-*-77.ucode files are present with 644 permissions.
modprobe iwlwifi loads the module, but no interface is created.
Hardware/BIOS Troubleshooting:
Performed a "Flea Power" drain (battery disconnected, power button held for 60s).
Reset BIOS to Defaults and toggled WLAN/Bluetooth radio settings.
Physically reseated the AX201 M.2 card.
The Question: Since this hardware worked 100% on Ubuntu 22.04, is it possible that the 24.04 upgrade or the 6.19 mainline kernel pushed a firmware/microcode update to the AX201 that has caused the Intel CNVi interface to hang or become "invisible" to the PCIe bus?
Has anyone encountered this specific "vanishing hardware" on Comet Lake (10th Gen) systems with Noble Numbat?
I have the same problem as described in previous question when installing the same WiFi adapter. I have followed the instructions exactly, but the driver installation fails.
Here is the output from lsusb.

After sound miraculously worked suddenly in 25.04, I have now the same problem like before in 25.10 (upgrade):
Sound shows just dummy output after boot. When loading a card profile manually ( pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-sof_sdw pro-audio ) there is no speaker in the sound test window.
Ubuntu 25.10, Linux ith-Yoga 6.17.0-7-generic,
inxi -A
Audio:
Device-1: Intel Lunar Lake-M HD Audio driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-lnl
API: ALSA v: k6.17.0-7-generic status: kernel-api
Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.4.7 status: active
It might be a kernel problem (Regression in kernel 6.17.8)
Suddenly sound works but no speakers in test.

Initially I installed node using the command sudo apt install nodejs. This command installed an older version of node and npm so I removed the package using the command
sudo apt-get remove --purge nodejs.
To get the latest LTS version of nodejs I download the zip file extracted it to the path /usr/local/lib/nodejs/.
After this to set the environment variable of nodejs I took the path of nodejs bin file, then configured the path to .bashrc file which was present in the home directory.
This is how I installed the latest LTS version of nodejs and npm. I also verified the installation by checking the versions of node and npm in my system.
Now when I run npm install -g nodemon it gives me error stating that you need specific permissions to do so.
Then I tried sudo npm install -g nodemon, now it says command not found.
But I can install nodemon locally (i.e npm install nodemon works fine but still can't start the node server using nodemon). What I want is to install nodemon globally and use it to start my server
I googled around and tried several things but it didn't really work for me.
Newbie here... It's been two weeks where I have totally wiped windows from my system and installed ubuntu in it.
After recent upgrade (sudo apt upgrade -y) my screen resolution is stuck at 640, neither ethernet nor wifi is being detected. I tried reinstalling nvidia drivers but the problem persists.
However, when I boot to recovery mode and select the option 'Resume normal boot', everything works fine (screen resolution, network etc.)

I have a HP laptop with only Ubuntu in it and I want to access grub. When I spam Shift nothing pops up. When I click Esc I get to HP BIOS/UEFI. What can I do?
I have attempted to dual boot Ubuntu alongside Windows 11 on my Acer Spin-5 laptop. Everything seemed fine and dandy at first; I created a live USB, installed Ubuntu, and it actually booted up without the USB and was working!
This is where the trouble began. At some point when I was away from the computer, it had been turned off. I'm not sure if it was a hard shut-down (like holding the power button) or if the computer had been turned off from in the software, however on reboot, Linux started displaying the "Minimal Bash-like" error which I've seen is very common. I also loaded windows and noticed that it had gone into recovery mode.
I have tried several approaches to try to fix this myself, but not a single online or posted fix has worked for me thus far.
The following is what I've tried in order:
At this point I'm not sure where to go from here and I really appreciate any help that I might get. I will continue to update this thread as I try different solutions and receive feedback as what to try. Thanks so much for reading and any advice that you may give! :)

I've tried to install ubuntu on my pen drive several times and always get the same error during installation that says "Attempt to mount a filesystem with type ext4 at '/' failed", or something like it. I've tried to work around this problem for some time, tried all possible ways to install ubuntu and the result was always the same. I wnat to know if there's a way to just copy the files from a machine with ubuntu full installed to the removable device, and then make the device bootable. Like a direct install, copy the necessary files to pen drive and make it work. Is there any way to do that ? Any help would be appreciated

I try to ping my newly set up Ubuntu 18 server (running as VPS at some hosting provider) from the command line after I ssh into the machine. Both when using the public IP address (196.189.91.144) or the registered domain name (swapme.et) the just ping times out.
As I am a bit ignorant when it comes to server configuration, I'm lost and surprised this is not working, especially since I haven't had the same issue on previous VPS-servers I have fiddled with.
Do I need to do some extra manual configuration to get the loopback working? I thought it was possible to ping yourself using the public IP or domain name, out of the box(?)
This is what I have right now and what I can think of is relevant info for the solving the problem:

Fitted an Addon AWP1200E 5Ghz WiFi card today which depends on Linux drivers from files in /drivers/linux/AWP1200E_linux.zip/RTL8812AE_Linux_v4.3.2_12208.20140904/ extracted from http://www.addon-tech.com/new_/down/upload/20150812/1439396363.zip .
On my 74mb connection I only get about 37 mb/sec; hardwired I get about 67 mb/sec and on my Windows PC I used to get over 70mb/sec with WiFi.
Why is it slower on Ubuntu? How can I get this card to deliver the speed I got with Windows? Here's what lspci -knn | grep Net -A3 && rfkill list shows:

I have an Edimax external USB network adapter which is not recognized after I plug it into my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop. First of all I ask Ubuntu to list me all USB devices by lsusb. It shows all connected devices (and even more, this laptop has only two USB ports, but lsusb prints 5 records. Why is that?) beside that network adapter. When I unplug it and plug it in again dmesg also doesn't mention it at all.
The adapter itself works properly on another laptop with Windows. The USB port is also OK since other devices work OK, so what is the problem?
At work I have the exact same adapter (in terms of model and manufacturer) and that one works OK.
I have created some HTML files which I want to upload to the web. I am currently running the Apache2 server with my IP address. This is what I see in the browser when I enter my IP address:
I am able to access my HTML files using the web browser, but I want to be able to upload them to the web with ordinary web addresses so users can see them. I hope someone can guide me in the right direction.
I'm using PHP 5.6. I've already installed curl using the following commands:
sudo apt-get install php-curl
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
But even still, I keep getting the error:
Call to undefined function curl_init()
However, when I locate curl.ini, it shows this:
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-curl.ini
/etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/20-curl.ini
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-curl.ini
/etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-curl.ini
/etc/php5/mods-available/curl.ini
/usr/share/php5/curl/curl.ini
/var/lib/ucf/cache/:etc:php5:mods-available:curl.ini
And when I locate curl.so, it shows this:
/usr/lib/php5/20131226/curl.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.3
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.3.0
So I changed the line in /etc/php5/mods-available/curl.ini from:
extension=curl.so
To:
extension=/usr/lib/php5/20131226/curl.so
But I'm still getting the error.
What's wrong?
I am having a problem doing this as the Ubuntu installer will not see any partitions except /dev/sda1 in the 3rd step when it asks for Installation Type:
EDIT from comments: In Windows 10, I shrinked current C partition used by Windows and made 40GB free for Ubuntu.
I followed number of articles and changed settings on Windows to disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy boot and that allowed me to boot from bootable USB with Ubuntu 14.04 on it.
Once I boot from USB, I get the menu to Test Ubuntu or Install it. I click on Test and that opens Ubuntu from where I can click on desktop M icon "Install Ubuntu". But that takes me only up to this step.
I have tried same with Ubuntu 15.10 (both are 64 bits as recommended for Windows 10).
Once in Test Ubuntu, here is what gdisk returns. Not sure if that can help though:
I want to know if there is any way to extract hardware specific information about the built-in webcam in my system from the Ubuntu command line.
Basically, I want to extract the field of view and focal length of the camera, to use in another program. Is this info even stored?
Thanks!
I made a mistake when trying to install Tryton. I think I deleted an important part of a text file when trying to configure it. This is the error message I got:
brian@brian-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC: ~
brian@brian-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC:~$ neso
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/neso", line 78, in <module>
from tryton.config import get_home_dir
ImportError: cannot import name get_home_dir
brian@brian-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC:~$ █
I didn't realize that the username was admin. That was where the trouble started. It just won't open up at all any more. I have tried these commands
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:rayanayar/tryton-3.6
sudo apt-get purge tryton-modules-account
sudo apt-get purge sudo apt-get purge tryton-modules-account-product
The problem may be that I do not know how to purge neso. This is because in the software center it says Neso and there is not a command line name there.
I wish to purge and completely reinstall Tryton. How do you do this without doing a complete reinstall of the operating system?
I downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 LTS .iso file and created a bootable USB stick using UUI. When I tried using it on my HP Pavilion laptop, I was not able to make the laptop boot from USB. I am not able to figure out how to change the boot order. I want to install Ubuntu on a separate partition and want to retain Windows 8 as well. Step-by-step instructions are required. Even with boot priority set to USB, the system does not find the operating system (Ubuntu) to start loading. I tried CD/DVD boot too. This is the message which is displayed.
This is how my boot options in BIOS look like:
How can I get the instrumentals only from a file and remove the vocals?
I understand this is called karaoke.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite s55t-A5277 with Intel Core i7, 12 GB RAM, and 1 TB HDD (100 GB of which is partitioned for Ubuntu, if I can ever get it installed.
My Ubuntu CD will not boot, no matter what I do. Every time I try to boot from a CD/DVD or USB, Windows 8 boots instead.
I have already disabled Fast Start Up in my Power Options
I have disabled Secure Boot in my BIOS (I even left it enabled to see if that would work)
I changed my boot up options in the BIOS to load either a CD/DVD or USB first (depending on which one I was using at the time)
I used the boot up options menu to select which device I wanted to load from
I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit AND 13.10 64-bit, created separate CD/DVDs of each, and even created a bootable USB device for each one (I was hoping that one of the CD/DVDs or USB sticks would work).
I re-downloaded and re-created bootable CD/DVDs and USB sticks (after formatting the USB sticks), hoping that it was just a download error or image burn error that prevented from the CD/DVDs and USBs from not booting.
I tried Wubi, which will not fully install for whatever reason.
I even updated my BIOS, hoping that would fix some kind of boot up problem. I just can't figure out why Ubuntu will not load.
I managed to get it to install when I changed to Legacy mode, but in order to go between the two operating systems, I'd have to change the BIOS from UEFI to CSM or vice versa. Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong? I've dual booted Windows Vista and Ubuntu, and Windows 7 and Ubuntu in the past and it never caused any problems for me. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have a few folder in one of my ubuntu machine in the directory /export/home/ as -
user1
user2
user3
Whenever any user login to that machine, it always takes him to that directory as a default. If I am user1, and I am logging in to that machine, then after logging, if I do pwd, I always see -
/export/home/user1
Now what I am supposed to do is, I have opened a winscp on my desktop as user1 to connect to that machine, and then I need to copy a file from my desktop to user2 folder but whenever I try to open user2 folder in winscp, it always gives me -
Permission denied error..
Is there any way, I can ask user2 to give me permission (by logging into his account from putty) to copy the files using winscp from my desktop to user2 folder?
I've already tried doing what was listed here: Update manager: "A problem occurred when checking for the updates" but it didnt work.
Every time I click on the red circle with the line through it the update manager pops up and then goes away.
When I try to do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
here's the output:
