I have a Ubuntu server running in my home. Mostly for streaming movies and such but we just got a laptop for the kids and I was trying to set up samba so I can share files from my windows desktop to the laptop, but I'm running into a snag. When I attempt to connect to the share it asks me for my username and password but then I get a message that windows cannot access this network resource

when I read log.aragorn (name of my desktop) I get

[2026/07/05 17:50:08.185990,  0] ../../source3/param/loadparm.c:3448(process_usershare_file)
  process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/winshare failed. Permission denied

I have created a samba user and added it to the sambashare group.

permissions of my shared file are this:

drwxrwxr-x 2 neal neal 4096 Jul 5 17:34 winshare

my conf file is below (I removed all comments to make it easier to read.

I switched desktop environments and now that I switched back to the original, the desktop is not working properly. I have leftover apps from the other environment stuck on the screen. I kept typing different commands in and now I got a frozen Ubuntu screen and the other screen is stretched out.

My homelab VM collapsed, it was on for a few years, so I thought I give a try to the new version.

It is nice, looks good, fast enough, lot programs, just the basic things don't work. You click on SSH allowance, it is on, until you click somewhere else, turnes automaticly off. Remote desktop never worked, screen sharing ask for authentication every second minute... If I just try to setup the system it asks for authentication every minute. And I am in the same vlan! It is far from the old reliable system, I was getting annoyed very fast, probably I put back the old version, if no repair update will arrive.

for many years I'm user of Ubuntu (only LTS) - with the mozillateam ppa added for firefox / thunderbird ESR usage; all running fine.

I would like to know:
--> Who knows a roadmap / timetable etc. of mozillateam relating to older versions of Ubuntu (desktop) ?
In other words:
--> How long does mozillateam make backports of older versions of firefox & thunderbird ESR for older versions of Ubuntu LTS ?

I'm family - cognation - neighbour & friends admin, ca. 20 PCs. All PCs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with mozillateam ppa from the start (installation), only FF/TB ESR versions installed - no "standard".
...but there are 2 or 3 PCs still running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. And the owners won't change because "it is running fine - don't change ! ...". Auto update is still running: OS & software, and FF/TB are regularly updated (to 140ESR by now) - the only ones (& for longer).

No major security concerns: low internet usage - some surfing and emails. But thunderbird will be a problem: migration (of the mailboxes) to a new system is ugly when there are different versions running of old and new TB. Therefore I do need roadmaps of Ubuntu (and mozillateam) and Mozilla software.

Ubuntu 20.04 EOL was in 05/2025, and I know the Ubuntu release cycles too - as well as some of mozillas release hints.
mozillateam is the black box here. And I could not find any roadmap or similar on the web relating to old Ubuntu OS versions. Just relating to FF & TB (security updates until 1 year after release of successor...) - but no roadmap to the underlying OS versions.
Btw: Ubuntu Wiki (mozillateam) link is completely outdated; there are no valid contacts of mozillateam.

Thanks for any help
(and plz: no 'helpful' tips for customer communication / convince...) ;-)

I need some expert advice regarding Ubuntu and NTFS external/internal hard drives. Here is the full story of what happened:

The Setup & Version: I am using Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. I have an SSD and a separate Hard Drive full of important data. To keep my data safe, I disconnected the hard drive completely while installing Ubuntu on my SSD. After a successful installation, I reconnected the hard drive.

The First Issue: Once Ubuntu booted, it completely refused to mount my hard drive partitions. When I click on the partition in the file manager, a popup appears saying 'Error mounting... cannot mount'. After searching online and doing some manual tweaks using the Ubuntu 'Disks' app and the Terminal, I finally got the partitions to show up and open.

The Power Cut / Outage Issue: Shortly after fixing it, we had a sudden power outage, and the computer shut down abruptly. When the power came back and I booted into Ubuntu, the partitions were completely locked again. The same error popup came back, and I had to repeat the same tedious manual troubleshooting fixes via the Disks app and Terminal all over again.

The AI Advice: I asked an AI assistant for a permanent fix, and it suggested that I should format my NTFS partitions to ext4 because Linux handles its native format much better during power cuts. However, I have over 260GB of important data on this hard drive, so formatting is absolutely not an option for me right now.

Right now, I have temporarily moved back to Windows 10 because going through this manual process every single day after a power cut is very frustrating, but I really want to use Ubuntu as my main OS.

I get this pop up

I have a Dell Latitude 3590 with Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 620 with VGA output.

The VGA is connected to a ViewSonic VA2446 External monitor.

   Built-in screen set to 1920×1080 (16:9)
   VA2446 is set to 1920×1080 (16:9)
   OS is Ubuntu Studio 24.04

The issue is the screen is too large for the displays, so the desktop will move to the edge (slide might be a better term) up and down, left or right. Even when the external is disconnected the Dell still does the same thing.

What am I missing here?

Whever i download a documento i try to open it my Ubuntu 26.04 LTS reboots.
This is creating creppling conditions for a normal ubunut use. Can you help me?

I tried to run it from the terminal and received the following message.

Question:

For common U.S. English words that are flagged as misspelled, is there a way to get updated or better U.S. English support, other then selecting "Ignore" or "Add to Dictionary" for each word?

Background:

GNOME Text Edit (gnome-text-editor) flags some widely accepted English words as misspelled. The spell-check dictionary seems outdated to me; otherwise, the dictionary / spell-check functionality works well for most words.

Since the same dictionary is used across GNOME applications, this is also an issue for other applications on my desktop, such as Firefox (deb package), Gnome Builder, etc..

Examples:

For example, the following words are not found in the dictionary.

• Repurposed (or repurpose)
• Unselected (or unselect)

Current Language Support on My System

As you can see I already have hunspell-en-us installed:

    $ dpkg -l hunspell-en-*
    Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
    | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

    ii  hunspell-en-us 1:2020.12.07-4 all          English_american dictionary for hunspell

If I navigate to "Region & Language" in System Settings, Ubuntu recommends I install the following language support. However, I do not see the value of installing these, since I am a U.S. English speaker, and I suspect installing language packs for other English regions will not address the core issue.

• hunspell-en-au

• hunspell-en-ca

• gimp-help-en

• hunspell-en-gb

• wbritish

• gimp-help-en-gb

• hunspell-en-za

I am using Ubuntu 26.04 with the default GNOME desktop.

I want to change the font and font size in the Terminal, but I cannot find the Preferences option. Most tutorials say to open Terminal and go to Preferences, but that option does not exist in my installation.

I tried:

• Checking the Terminal menu (top-right/hamburger menu).
• Right-clicking inside the Terminal window.
• Looking through the application settings.

None of these show a Preferences option.

Questions:

1. Has the Terminal application changed in Ubuntu 26.04?
2. How can I change the Terminal font and font size?
3. If the Preferences menu was removed, what is the new way to configure the Terminal?

If needed, I can provide screenshots of the Terminal window and menu.

Windows 7 is running on my desktop. How can the Kubuntu ISO be successfully downloaded for use on a Linux laptop? Previous attempts result in this for the downloaded ISO. What am I doing wrong? Is the Kubuntu version an important consideration?

Thanx to all those folks who posted very helpful suggestions. Version 26.04 has been successfully downloaded (abt 3 hrs run time) but before burning to CD the checksum will be validated. Step # 1 is to click on downloaded file Properties -> File Hashes tag which displays 3 hash tag totals (CRC-32, MD-5, SHA-1). Step # 2 probably compares at least one of these to the corresponding values within the "source" file's checksum but where is it displayed ??

I removed GNU Freefonts, because it makes the text in Bengali render badly.
However, after removing it, Octave is failing to show plots.

I tried changing the default Octave fonts, but it still looks for these missing freetype fonts, and the plot does not display.

How to fix the issue?

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS and recently installed FireFox 152 through the apt install channel.

When I open Settings/About Firefox, I see the Firefox updates is set to "Updates are managed by your operating system." There doesn't seem to any longer be a setting to check for updates manually or to notify me that an update is available so that I can chose when to do the update.

I opened about:config and changed app.update.auto from True to False, but that had no effect.

I would like to be able to disable the automatic updates so that I have control over when the updates happen. What are the steps to do this?

Additional info: Prior to today I was using Snap to update Firefox. Something went haywire with the auto update that broke Firefox, so I no longer care to use Snap.

More info: I added a config file to /etc/apt/preferences.d so that firefox should no longer be using snap.

$ apt policy firefox
firefox:
  Installed: 152.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1
  Candidate: 152.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1
  Version table:
     1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 -1
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
 *** 152.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1 1001
       1001 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The only information I'm looking for is: "How can I set up firefox so that I can choose when to apply updates." It's just that simple. If there is a config setting change to allow that to happen, that would be the perfect solution.

So, what I did was run a command:

'> sudo apt modernize-sources`

The following files need modernizing:
  - /etc/apt/sources.list
  - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mariadb.list
  - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/packages.cloudpanel.io.list

Modernizing will replace .list files with the new .sources format,
add Signed-By values where they can be determined automatically,
and save the old files into .list.bak files.

This command supports the 'signed-by' and 'trusted' options. If you
have specified other options inside [] brackets, please transfer them
manually to the output files; see sources.list(5) for a mapping.

For a simulation, respond N in the following prompt.

How to fix this error while updating packages?

I have been having this problem for a while where the computer upon clicking suspend (or even typing systemctl suspend in the terminal) the display goes black for 1-2 seconds and turns back up in the lock screen.

I have tried the following command:

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

I have the tried to disable all of the enabled devices with this command(obviously typing the actual device in the place of [DEVICE])

sudo /bin/sh -c '/bin/echo [DEVICE] > /proc/acpi/wakeup'

...but even still nothing worked.

I have turned my monitor physically in portrait position. I adjusted Settings -> Displays so that the layout for my desktop is okay, but the login screen is still landscape.

I read that this problem could be fixed with following instructions:

sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm3/.config/
sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm3/.config/monitors.xml
sudo systemctl restart gdm3

But to no avail, it just does not work. No matter if I reboot or even completely turn off and back on computer. The login screen remains in landscape position.

According to mutter documentation monitors.xml is read from /etc/xdg. Copied file there but it did not work either. This is clearly an issue that cannot be fixed with blind workarounds.

I edited /etc/xdg/monitors.xml so that there were different settings than in ~/.config/monitors.xml. After that tothing happens in gdm process login screen as I have tested oh so many times. But the change had effects in user process desktop. Is it so that mutter under gdm does not have same capabilities than under user process desktop? If so, this is just banging head on the wall.

Could someone please explain the architecture behind all this gdm/mutter/gnome-shell mess?

I need the best way to sync Google Drive on my Ubuntu LTS 26.04 with local cache that allows me to keep working for at least a day without any internet.

Requirements are similar to Google Drive for PC:

1. Ability to work completely offline (not even internet to "mount" the drive first and then disconnect).
2. Download and caching of files when they are accessed.

What I have tried and fails:

1. rclone vfs local mount: Doesn't mount without internet! No usable cache! Can this be fixed? This is my most hopeful option currently. Here is the code I currently use:

[Unit]
Description=Google Drive Mount
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target
OnFailure=gdrive-mount-failed.service

[Service]
Type=simple

ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount gdriveboi: %h/G \
    --vfs-cache-mode full \
    --cache-dir %h/.cache/rclone \
    --vfs-cache-max-size 100G \
    --vfs-cache-max-age 720h \
    --vfs-write-back 30s \
    --vfs-read-ahead 128M \
    --dir-cache-time 5m \
    --poll-interval 30s \
    --log-level INFO \
    --log-file %h/.local/share/rclone-mount.log \
    --rc \
    --rc-addr 127.0.0.1:5572 \
    --rc-no-auth

ExecStop=/bin/fusermount3 -uz %h/G

Restart=no

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

2. Nautilus doesn't support native Google Drive starting GNOME 50. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/03/google-drive-not-working-nautilus-ubuntu-26-04

3. Dolphin + Dolphin Plugins + Konqueror + KIO GDrive + KIO Admin: Can't even add the Google account on Dolphin. Page shows blank.

4. rclone bisync fails randomly and repeatedly. --resyncing has destroyed my work multiple times now. I can provide the last used code if asked.

I am trying to install Ubuntu onto an older Dell laptop using a freshly flashed and validated SanDisk USB 3.0 drive (flashed via balenaEtcher).

The boot sequence starts up fine, but it completely freezes every single time right after reading the very last APT cache repository line: Get:5 file:/cdrom resolute/main amd64 Packages [31.7 kB]

I tried:

• Replaced the USB drive entirely (originally used a generic UDisk which threw I/O buffer errors, switched to a brand new SanDisk 16GB).

• Removed quiet splash from the GRUB menu to view the verbose terminal logs.

• Tried booting with nomodeset (Safe Graphics mode).

• Tried appending various combinations of boot flags like acpi=off, noapic, and irqpoll.

The logs:

Right before it hits the Get:5 line and hangs, the logs show a couple of errors regarding the communication bus and filesystem:

fuse: device /dev/fuse not found. Kernel module not loaded?
dbus-daemon: A connection to the bus can't be made
Failed to create stream fd: No such file or directory

This is the terminal output right at the freezing point. Since it is stalling the exact millisecond it finishes loading the configuration files and tries to hand over control to the display manager/graphics, I suspect it's a legacy hardware or kernel conflict with this specific Dell motherboard architecture.

Do you have any advice on what specific kernel boot parameters or BIOS tweaks I need to use to force it past this graphical handshake?

I had updated Ubuntu from 25.10 to 26.04.

Now, when booting into kernel 7.0.0-15, the system freezes while on login screen, goes black, then login screen is displayed again. Keeps occurring in an endless loop. If I select kernel 6.17.0-29-generic instead, the laptop runs fine, and I can log in without issue.

I ran the command sudo journalctl -b -1 -p err, and "Kernel Out of Memory error"s were present.
Are there known issues with the 7.0.0-15 kernel?

I've been reading the forums and found quite a few people with a similar issue, but none of the solutions worked for me.

My internal microphone is not working on Ubuntu. It works fine on Windows (dual boot), so it's definitely a software/driver issue.

System info:

• Computer: ASUS VivoBook X515EA
• Ubuntu: 25.10 (Questing)
• Audio chip: Realtek ALC256 (Intel Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound)
• Audio server: PipeWire 1.4.7

What I've tried:

• Setting options snd-hda-intel model=asus-zenbook in /etc/modprobe.d/
• Adjusting capture levels in alsamixer (F4 view, HDA Intel PCH card)
• Setting the default source with pactl set-default-source
• Reinstalling PipeWire and resetting WirePlumber config
• Running amixer -c 0 cset numid=6 2 to select Internal Mic 1 (node 0x1b)

What I found:

• arecord -D hw:0,0 with Internal Mic 1 selected (numid=6 set to 2) does show vumeter activity so ALSA can capture audio at the hardware level
• However, PipeWire does not seem to pass the audio through, parecord and pw-record both record silence
• The dmesg shows the driver picks up two internal mic nodes: Internal Mic=0x12 and Internal Mic=0x1b
• Capture Switch (numid=8) needs to be set on,on manually after every reboot

arecord -l output:

List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices  
card 0: PCH \[HDA Intel PCH\], device 0: ALC256 Analog \[ALC256 Analog\]  
  Subdevices: 1/1  
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0  

It seems like ALSA captures audio correctly when configured manually, but PipeWire/WirePlumber doesn't route it properly to applications. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to fix it?

I am on a dual-boot (Ubuntu 24.04.03 LTS - Windows 10) configuration, and noticed that my second monitor stopped being detected via HDMI when on Ubuntu. Prior to my 24.04 upgrade (I was using 22.04), everything worked fine.

My setup is the following:

[HP E243i monitor's HDMI port]->[HDMI cable]->[laptop's HDMI port]

On Windows, it works fine. On Ubuntu, nothing is detected (the screen blinks when connecting to the computer, then goes back to sleep).

Running xrandr -q --verbose | rg -i HDMI outputs

HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

After trying X vs Wayland, upgrading the NVIDIA drivers to 535, 550 or 580 (recommended), nothing worked. Then, I tried to use an HDMI to USB-C adapter I have... and it worked!

[HP E243i monitor's HDMI port]->[HDMI cable]->[HMDI to USB-C adapter]->[laptop's USB-C port]

However, that's not really ideal for me and I'd like not to have to use the adapter.

Finally, it's probably worth mentioning that using the same HDMI cable, but with my TV, the following works...

[TV's HDMI port]->[HDMI cable]->[laptop's HDMI port]

Changing the HDMI cable doesn't seem to have any impact.

Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

We have an unattended update setup. To make sure nothing slips, we check for pending security updates and trigger a warning if there is something available but not installed for a week.

Now we have a server with security updates not installed for a while because of the periodic package update failing without any indication of it. We would like to add a trigger to the monitoring to detect this, however, that seems not so simple.

apt update prints an error and has a non-zero exit status:

# apt update
. . . 
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
# echo $?
100

However, the above did set the "success" stamp at:

# ls -l /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 11 10:58 /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp

Also, despite the error, the systemd service apt-daily.service is exiting with exit status 0.

How is it possible to detect that the daily package update is failing?

I am currently trying to run some R code on Databricks. Some R packages require that I install libcurl4-openssl-dev. I am getting the following error while trying to install libcurl4-openssl-dev:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I have tried apt-get update before installing packages, but it hasn't helped. The problem seems to be that it is trying to look for 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.15 whereas the latest version seems to be 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.16

I have also tried running the following before trying to install again:

sudo apt --fix-missing update

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -f

Didn't help either. Any suggestions how I can install libcurl4-openssl-dev will be very helpful. Thanks!

Edit: sudo apt update gives the following output

Not sure if the order of installation of packages matters, but thought I will mention it anyway here. Here is what I am trying:

apt-get update

apt-get install -y make libnode-dev libgdal-dev gdal-bin libgeos-dev libproj-dev libsqlite3-dev libpng-dev libudunits2-dev libicu-dev

sudo apt --fix-missing update

If I try apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev after the above, I get the following, but it has been 15 minutes now and the command hasn't finished running yet. Not sure if this should be taking this much time. It is still running as I post this update.

When I try to install libcurl4-openssl-dev after I add the repository, I am able to install it without any issue. If I try to do it without adding the repository, I get an error. I am happy that I found a solution, but would love to know why I need to do this. Why doesn't it search the "focal-updates main" right away at the beginning? Should I be doing this every time that I need to install a package?

After installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu 22.04 I attempted to enable Remote Desktop:

I then went to another workstation (tried both Windows and macOS with the Microsoft RDC and with Jump Desktop) and tried to connect. When it failed without any significant details I jumped into /var/log/syslog on Ubuntu and found the following:

Jul 21 02:04:16 HOSTNAME gnome-remote-de[3006]: Couldn't retrieve RDP username: Credentials not set
Jul 21 02:04:55 HOSTNAME gnome-remote-de[3006]: message repeated 6 times: [ Couldn't retrieve RDP username: Credentials not set]

I then opened the system Settings → Sharing → Remote Desktop and was confronted with they keychain login prompt. After authenticating I attempted to again connect via RDP with the previous RDCs.

As I watched syslog, I observed the following results: Jump Desktop:

This is using the "User Name" and "Password" generated in the above screenshot.

Aside from what seems to be an obvious bug in the beginning wherein it's necessary to authenticate before FreeRDP even tries to connect, clearly there are other issues at play beyond that.

Anyone aware of what may be going on and failing here?

I have been trying to install the driver for my canon printer but I always get the error shown below. I also tried to convert the package from .rpm to .deb and try it to run it from there, but again it does not work.
