Sony VTR, 2009 model, How can I connect this machine to my Desktop to both run and save content to Memory stick or whatever. Currently running most recent version of Ubuntu.
Thanks
I would like to have complete guide on installing Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Desktop version and install Himmelblau to manage the machine in Intune and also to use Entra ID.
I updated my system from 24.04 to 26.04 LTS and have now several problems. I should have waited until 26.04.1 but too late ...
When I go to settings > Ubuntu Desktop I get the following:
I already tried ...
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install -f
sudo apt reinstall ubuntu-settings
sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-control-center
but no luck. Any help?
I'm trying to do a do-release-upgrade on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in order to upgrade to 24.04 LTS. But early in the process I get a list index out of range error:

I have no idea what might be causing this, and I'd appreciate any suggestions on how I can get to the bottom of the problem.

I am new to Ubuntu, and after installing it on my Asus ExpertBook P1 laptop, I am unable to set up the fingerprint authentication feature. This functionality was working properly when I was using Fedora.
Could you please assist me in enabling and configuring the fingerprint option on my device?
Below I have mentioned my fingerprint details.

Back in Ubuntu 25.04's terminal (not sure if it was gnome-terminal or not), I was able to set terminal colors in the preferences.
In Ubuntu 25.10, I do not see any option to either create a new color scheme or to set colors manually.
Is this option hidden somewhere, or is there a command line option to do it?
I am on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS on a laptop that has the following specs.
My laptop battery is dead as in it's permanently stuck at 0%. I only use it plugged in(not sure it it's related because the battery has been like this for a long time. Before I used Linux it worked fine on Windows. I disabled it via the Control Panel though.
Additional Drivers says that I'm using the recommended drivers.
Software is up-to-date based on sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
As the title says, pretty much every game I ran using Wine and Steam's Proton (proton hotfix) ran into the problem of freezing then crashing. The games run for a few seconds, and I can hear noises and interact with it for a bit, then it crashes
Hades 1 & 2 freeze after about 1 layer so about 8 minutes.
Warframe and Sekiro freeze after a couple hours. Warframe seems to freeze only when I'm doing something if I afk it seems fine for a while. it also freezes within 5 minutes if I try to stream it using OBS (same with the other games)
Terraria runs about 20 minutes before it freezes. If I update my drivers it doesn't freeze, but that's probably because it uses the 2nd GPU not really an option for the other games due to it being really weak.
insider trading the rougelike game freezes when I finish the tutorial. It lasts longer if I run via Steam instead of via Wine, only by a couple of minutes.
The freezing happens faster if I alt tab out or just immediately freezes like Terraria.
Around 20+ games games haven't froze when I play them.
idle cave miner never freezes it seems completely fine even when I alt tab out of it
greyhat a digital detective adventure I beat it in 3 sessions didn't freeze once.
minecraft I used TL launcher it hasn't froze yet
there might be 3 or 4 games that do not freeze either I don't remember clearly because it happens so often I tune it out.
I'm not super sure if it's because of my GPU being over stressed or something, but that doesn't really makes sense how Hades can only run for 8 minutes, but Warframe and Sekiro can run for hours
glmark2 did not crash.
The GPU driver is: nvidia-driver-580-open
tried running steam via terminal started hades only thing that seems off is this

I'm going to try switching drivers to 535. It is an option.
Seems to have worked on Hades I am going to try other games and see if they encounter any issues.
My system files are full of illegal characters and I can't edit them. What is this? Otherwise the system appears to work normally.
Click the image to enlarge it.
Every other file from systemd looks like this, likely in other places too.

I've done game development with Godot for about a while now and whenever I leave it open then suspend the computer, it closes. I run it through a .desktop file with the following thing edited in nano:

Exec=/home/istubedmytoe/Downloads/Godot_v4.6.1-stable_linux.x86_64

Should I make the icon not in my downloads folder? Probably. Will I fix that issue? No, I will forget before I get the chance to do anything about it.
When running godot and suspending the computer I get this error log in the terminal:

I am using ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and my laptop is infinix
and the sound is not activated, somebody helpme please thank you.
I tried several attempts at installing and uninstalling MySQL Server Community Edition and MySQL Workbench. I'm still getting the error. I cannot connect at all.
When I click on the generic connection (or any other connection) from MySQL Workbench, I get this error message:
Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' to the mySQL server at 127.0.0.1:3306
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'.
I checked and MySQL is listening just fine on port 3306.
I searched Google and YouTube several times with no solution. I'm working on my PhD in data science, and cannot even begin school coursework until I have this up and running.
Has anyone managed to get VMware Workstation 17.x running on kernel 6.17? Is there a working patch or workaround? I need VMware specifically to run EVE-NG for network simulation.
If no patch exists yet, is installing an older kernel (e.g. 6.8.0-107-generic) the only option?
To start with, I had no idea I had a dual boot system with Windows 11 (version 25H2) and Ubuntu. Windows just did an update (KB5086672). Then I had a weird Grub menu thing show up when it went to restart. I will provide a picture of what it says.
It says:
GNU GRUB version 2.12
Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible
device or file completions. To enable less(1)-like paging, "set
pager=1".
grub> _
I did not know I even had a dual boot system. When I did some searching and found that out and I was able to get into the first screen on windows and saw the dual boot setup and that it had Ubuntu as priority instead of Windows. So I switched priority to Windows bootup and it seemed to work. Well, it just gave Ubuntu priority back for some reason, after a few days, so I switched it back to Windows and came here to see if there is any help for me.
I've only dabbled a little in Linux Mint quite a while ago and never have done anything with Ubuntu. Is there an easy newbie way to fix this since I didn't even know I had a dual boot thing going? Any help is appreciated, even if it's just telling me to take it in to someone else to see if they can repair it.
(Edited to add a little more info. Sorry for the confusion) Sorry for the confusion.....I just really would rather keep Windows and not run Ubuntu. This was a refurbished laptop that I bought off of ebay and has been working great up until this last update. I never knew anybody had put any kind of Ubuntu on here. But it looks like both boot ups point to the same place? One just says Windows and one says Ubuntu. I just didn't want to break anything if I try to uninstall Ubuntu but if I can't get into it itself, then I don't even know how to anyway. Cuz it's always loaded into Windows and never any kind of Ubuntu system. Under the boot priority one says ubuntu (WD Green SN350 1TB 260C) The other one says Windows Boot Manager (WD Green SN350 1TB 2GOC)
It was set for Ubuntu to have priority so I switched it to Windows Boot Manger for priority and it seemed to work though the loading screen took around 20 seconds to appear. Then it switched itself back to Ubuntu being priority for some reason and I got the grub thing again, so had to go switch priority back. Do I need to get Ubuntu off of my laptop for it to work properly again? Again, I never knew it was even on here. I don't even think it actually loads into any kind of Ubuntu distro. It just has always gone straight to Windows.
I also just looked at my Disk Management and I DO NOT have any kind of partition for Ubuntu. So I don't understand why it is in my startup menu. I have, in order, 260mb Healthy(EFI system partition), OS (C:)930.04 GB NTFS (Bitlocker Encrypted) Healthy(Boot, Page, File, Crash Dump, Basic Data Partition), 974mb Healthy(Recovery Partition), 260mb Healthy(Recovery Parition).
(SECOND EDIT INFO) I am trying to follow instructions from the link that Daniel T put up. I am on the last part of doing the rmdir stuff but I had one more question. I found the ubuntu part of it. But it also has a Boot. I will list what the directory has to make it easier to understand.
06/03/2023 11:53 AM <DIR> .
06/03/2023 11:53 AM <DIR> ..
04/07/2026 08:50 PM <DIR> Microsoft
11/12/2024 06:04 PM <DIR> Boot
11/12/2024 06:04 PM <DIR> ubuntu
Since the Boot is the same date as ubuntu....do I need to do the same thing with that and consider it a linux thing?
Kubuntu 24.04 updated.
I have a shell script to launch a program.
#!/bin/bash
motion
Then I name it script.sh and make it executable. I then add a keyboard shortcut with the full path to the script. Nothing happens. I have tried this for years with many scripts and cannot solve the puzzle.
I want to press Meta-M and the program should start. I have tried adding sh before the path. I have added /bin/sh.
I have a Brother HL-1212W. I eventually got it working some years ago. After OS upgrades to Xubuntu 22.04 it didn't work. What I describe below is the cleaned up version of what I did, there were many failed iterations before I got here. I will give an answer to this question later, saying how I solved it (Oh yes I did!).
As my network had also changed I did a fresh WPS register of the printer with my WIFI Access point. The Internet light on the printer went green - which says it's connected.
I downloaded the 'Driver install tool' from https://www.brother.co.uk/support/hl-1212w/downloads which gave me the file linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.6-0.gz, which I ungzip'ed and ran. All worked perfectly.
When it asked 'Specify dev uri' I chose cups-brf as a placeholder (that's a braille printer and I was stumbling about in the dark, frankly).
I then went to http://localhost:631/admin on the browser, clicked 'Manage printers', then HL1212W in the list, then 'Administration', then 'Modify printer' and the 'Discovered' Brother printer from the list. When I to the main page for the printer it now showed as a dnssd printer with a long id string.
I queued a test page, it showed in the printer queue on its main page, but the printer went to 'Unable to connect to printer'. I was never able to get past that point no matter what I did. Neither could I find any trace of the printer in the DHCP leases, although using a traffic tracer I did find it had a strange IP address completely outside my subnet.
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.
I try to use Ubuntu 24.04 on xorg as wayland does not support a lot of the visualization software i use. However, since using Ubuntu on Xorg, i notice that my GUI freezes after approx 5 minutes if the laptop is not connected to another screen. I tried to disable DPMS in etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-extensions.conf with no success.
When the freeze happens, the mouse can be moved and i can click and type, but the screen does not update. The freeze happens even if the pc is just ideling with no program open.
I would like to be able to run ubuntu on xorg or find a reliable fix on wayland for errors like this
[Open3D WARNING] GLFW Error: Wayland: The platform does not support setting the window position
[Open3D WARNING] Failed to initialize GLEW.
[Open3D WARNING] [DrawGeometries] Failed creating OpenGL window.
Anyone knows what might be the issue?
Id be happy with either a fix for running packages with vizualization like open3d on Wayland, or a fix for the random freezing and continuing to use xorg.
Im using a lenovo ideapad with amd ryzen AI 7 350 24 gb ram and 8 gb vram
Result from free:

Swap: 8388604 0 8388604
I tried running the script with GDK_BACKEND=x11 python3 script.py on Wayland and it did not work.
I noticed that connecting a second screen to the laptop when it has frozen fixes the issue for a short time. And the laptop does not freeze when it is used together with another screen. I.e it only freezes when it is using the built in screen only.
EDIT: I solved the problem of initializign GLFW in python scripts by setting environment variables:
os.environ["GDK_BACKEND"] = "x11"
# Force X11 backend
os.environ["DISPLAY"] = ":1"
os.environ["GDK_BACKEND"] = "x11"
os.environ["PYOPENGL_PLATFORM"] = "glx"
os.environ["XDG_SESSION_TYPE"] = "x11"
Setting these environment variables in the begining of the python script allows packages such as open3D to open on Wayland.

I found out that this is called a 'kernel panic', but I still don't know why it is happening when running VirtualBox.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server as a single OS on an old PC I have lying around. I am getting an error and upon checking the logs. I am getting the following error in the last line:

I had Windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04, and Ubuntu 20.04 on the same disk. Since I didn't need Ubuntu anymore, I decided to delete them. First deleted 20.04, but that wiped out the Grub bootloader. Somehow managed to boot into 18.04 and updated grub. But, the Grub CLI was still coming first. Since my Enter key doesn't work, it is a real pain. I finally decide to wipe out the 18.04 partitions as well but the CLI is still there. Currently I only have Windows partitions but the issue isn't resolved. What seems to be the problem and how can I solve it?
I see the other thread on deleting the contents of ~/.local/share/Trash/expunged, I would like to know what those files are, I have 1 massive 108GB gz compressed file. Is that data? if I decompress that, will I get old user data? this issue is on a hard drive from 2012, with insufficient disk space to decompress, and probably inadequate system resources as well. but I REALLY don't like deleting things from old hard drives, especially, when Im also looking for old project code. did I delete it back in 2012 thinking bah, I'll never use that, and there it is, locking up disk space on an old hard drive?
I just want to know if its actual data files in ~/.local/share/Trash/expunged, or if its some other thing.
I am trying to run a VM with Ubuntu Gnome 16.10. I am installing with an .iso file and once it installs completely I am prompted to restart the machine. After I do this I receive a kernel panic:

I have a brother HL-L2340DW.
The "Printers" application shows it is installed.
However, "Print Test Page" is greyed-out.
Also, when I try printing a pdf nothing gets sent to the print queue.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot?
I tried to install ubuntu-16.04-server-amd64.iso in QEMU as a virtual machine.
This was my command to generate the image file:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 confImage 100G
After creating the image file I installed ubuntu with the following command:
qemu-system-x86-64 -cdrom /home/username/Downloads/ubuntu-16.04-server-amd64.iso -boot order=d -drive file=confImage,format=qcow2
The installation went fine so I started it afterwards with:
qemu-system-x86_64 confImage
...but after choosing Ubuntu in the GRUB boot menu I get the following error:

I am running Ubuntu 14.10 with Unity. I would really like to make some multitouch gestures work, so I can use my touchpad to e.g. spread all windows, change workspace, and the like. My computer has a SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad. When I run geisview, and look under:
"Device [ID] Added: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
it says "Device Touches: 2", which should mean that my touchpad is only capable of recognizing 2 finges.. I checked in another forum (Arch Linux - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Using_xinput_to_determine_touchpad_capabilities). And here it says i can use xinput to determine its capabilities. So I run:
xinput list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" | grep Capabilities
and I get this output:
Synaptics Capabilities (295): 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
which evidently means that it should be capable of recognizing at least 3 finges..
When I download touchegg and run it in a terminal it gives absolutely no output.. Not even with 1- or 2-finger-gestures.
Can anyone please help! Would love to make this work! Thanks in advance! :)
