Bad monitor image after driver reinstall https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563683/bad-monitor-image-after-driver-reinstall

after nvidia driver reinstall or after stopping gdm3 image and colors became too dark. Tried reinstall drivers or ubuntu, verifying files in GRUB didn't help, like something happened to GPU. Using RTX 4070 with AOC 24p2q.

Software Updater vs Comand Line in 24.04 LTS with Ubuntu Pro https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563682/software-updater-vs-comand-line-in-24-04-lts-with-ubuntu-pro

Do I miss out on functionality of the Software Updater if I use sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade for updating my laptop?
What do I need to do extra in the terminal for everyday updating or once in a while updating?

Using my laptop for university and I often just keep it in sleep instead of turning it off.

This strange behavior first manifested in Brave running on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563681/this-strange-behavior-first-manifested-in-brave-running-on-ubuntu-24-04-3-lts

In Brave, with more than one tab in a window, cannot select a tab without the selection moving to that to the left and eventually moving to the most left tab. Similarly, In Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, when using "Show Apps," it always returns to the first page of apps after clicking on the right-pointing arrow. How do I correct both of these these?

gnome-shell(?) abruptly, rapidly begins consuming memory until it's exhausted https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563679/gnome-shell-abruptly-rapidly-begins-consuming-memory-until-its-exhausted

I'm remotely managing a Bosgame Ecolite mini PC running Ubuntu 24.04 for my elderly mother. There is little on it beyond the default installation. She regularly uses Firefox, and occasionally LibreOffice Writer.

I've installed Tailscale and ssh to support remote access for managing it, along with a few helper applications, e.g. htop. NoMachine, Dropbox, and TeamViewer are installed, but currently disabled (and verified so).

About a month ago it began occasionally hanging, and it has gotten worse. All OS updates have been applied.

Typically after booting it will run for several hours with no problem and then abruptly begin consuming memory at a rate of about 2 MB/second. Within a half hour the memory is exhausted and oom-killer begins to be invoked. Sometimes this helps, sometimes not.

I've run a loop on a 10 second interval that checks memory (via free) and uses ps to get the list of processes:

for (( ; ;  )) do ps -e -o pid,vsz,comm= | grep -v    0 | sort -n -k 2; date; free; free -h; sleep 10; done  

Throughout this memory loss event, the set of running processes is unchanged, and the amount of memory associated with them is unchanged, yet the free memory steadily decreases. (The only differences are associated with the ps and grep instances that the loop is executing.)

I've seen past issues where gnome-shell runs wild and consumes all the memory, but these are usually addressed by "apply updates". That's been done.

The one suggestion I tried was killing/restarting gnome-shell. Sometimes this works, sometimes it just hangs and ends up leaving me having to reboot.

I'm open to suggestions for things to try and ways to diagnose what's wrong. Just keep in mind that I'm doing this via a remote command-line interface. I won't see the machine myself for a couple months yet.

Pinta Stripping EXIF Data From Photos https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563665/pinta-stripping-exif-data-from-photos

I've recently moved to Ubuntu as my full-time environment, and I'm working to set up workflows for tasks I do regularly. One such task is geotagging and cropping large number of photos from digital cameras I take for field surveys. I use exiftool to geotag photos from a GPX track based on timestamp, and then, on Windows, I would use Paint.NET to crop the photo to cut out everything that wasn't the subject (usually a single plant or a specific part of a plant). Easy peasy.

Yesterday I tried to recreate this process, and it all went smoothly until I was done cropping the photos. I used Pinta to open photos (which are JPGs), crop them, and save them, and after I was done I discovered that editing and saving a photo through Pinta strips all the EXIF data on the photo.

Luckily I still have backups of the original files that have timestamps, which I can use to re-geotag them again; but since the EXIF data is used to automatically plot the photos in time and space in a survey project, this workflow is unusable for me. I've tried to figure out if there's a way to get Pinta to stop stripping EXIF data, but I can't seem to find anything online.

So, my questions are:

  1. Is there a way to stop Pinta from doing this?

  2. Are there other lightweight image editors available for Ubuntu I can use to manually crop hundreds of images without stripping the EXIF data? I didn't see this advertised for Pinta so I'm not sure how to screen other tools besides just trial-and-error.

  3. Why is this happening? It seems like an unnecessary extra step, compared to just leaving the metadata intact (I'm not saving as a new separate file). Is this a standard practice of image editors, either on Ubuntu or generally, that I just happened to avoid until now?

Application to browse photos and videos https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563644/application-to-browse-photos-and-videos

When I browse a folder in Files, I would like to open a photo or video, and then use the arrow keys to display/play the next photo or video file. Loupe (the default image viewer in 25.10) works perfectly for photos, but does not playback videos.

I've looked at Photo & video viewer similar to Android's Gallery app and similar Q&As, but they all basically say "open all your photos with an app like VLC or gThumb".

I do not want to "import" my media in a special folder/gallery. I have tens of thousands of photos across many folders and I like the way they are organized.

I tried:

  • gThumb: almost does the job, but it creates a new window for each video, not allowing me to quickly breeze through photos/videos. That's not the user experience I'm after.

  • Shotwell: does not playback videos, it just skips them, like Loupe.

  • When I tried installing Gwenview, I was told by apt that I need to install 230 new packages, so I said "no thanks".

I'm surprised this doesn't just work in Ubuntu 25.10 desktop. It feels like a rather basic requirement.

How do people browse their video and photo folders?

I'd try rebooting, but I'm concerned I'll end up locked out too.


UPDATE

I've narrowed it down to a repeatable sequence:

  • A user with a current session can't log in.
  • Killing their session allows them to log in.
  • They can log out and log in with no problem.
  • If they sign off using "Switch User" in the upper-right power-button menu, they can't sign on again.
  • Ditto if the login screen is invoked using Ctrl+Alt+F1.
  • They can ssh in (with password) from another account though.

This corrects the symptom:

# ps  -l  -u angie

# sudo kill 653025 653037

The "test" account I created does not have this problem. The "angie" account, even with an empty home directory (which quickly fills in with missing files), still has this problem.

We have a workaround, so it's no longer an urgent problem. I'll try a reboot later today.


Other weird things started happening (e.g. gvfsd-trash becan using 100% of one of the CPU cores, and syslog is now nearly 1G in size, full of messages like "Too many open files").

I rebooted, and the symptoms of the original problem have gone away.

Thanks to @DanielT for the suggestions that helped with the investigation.

Ubuntu 24.04 booting problems https://askubuntu.com/questions/1563626/ubuntu-24-04-booting-problems

Strange behavior with netplan https://askubuntu.com/questions/1561965/strange-behavior-with-netplan

My environment: I use VMWare Workstation 17 Pro, on which I have installed Ubuntu server 24.04.3 LTS (Noble Numbat).

The installation has been completed and I can log in. The IP address is set dynamically after installation (= default netplan file, 50-cloud-init.yaml) and everything is working properly. I test whether I have a connection to the outside world using nslookup and that is okay. When I change my IP address so that my network interface gets a static IP address and I run netplan apply, I don't get any error messages, but I can't connect to the outside world. When I run the command netplan status ens33, I see that the Online state is set to offline. When I run the command nslookup www.ubuntu.com, I get **server can't find ubuntu.com: SERVFAIL. I then added the rules (nameservers: search: [localdomain] addresses: - 8.8.8.8 ) and ran netplan apply again. There were no error messages, but I still cannot connect to the outside world. When I use the original netplan file again (the one with the dynamic IP address) and run netplan apply, everything works normally again. What else can I check to understand this behavior?

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, Thunderbird is Not Opening https://askubuntu.com/questions/1536757/ubuntu-24-04-1-lts-thunderbird-is-not-opening

I have installed Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS on my new laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad). I noticed that Thunderbird is not available in the existing applications list (which was quite strange, as previously Thunderbird was always in the list of default installed apps).

So I opened the App Center and installed the Thunderbird. Installation was finished successfully, however once I am trying to open the Thunderbird - it shows loading indicator on the Thunderbird icon in the left menu panel, but nothing is opened.

When I am doing a right click on the Thunderbird icon, and choosing "All Windows" - in the popup it shows that the page for setting up an account is opened - but when I click on the popup in order to open that page - again nothing is opened.

So I am not sure what is the issue with it, and that is Quite Strange that in the LTS version such an issue exist with the main email client that is used in the Ubuntu.

Anyone knows what is going on, and is there any way to fix it??

24.04 LTS Samba Share Windows 11 Mount Working - Windows 10 Fails https://askubuntu.com/questions/1535520/24-04-lts-samba-share-windows-11-mount-working-windows-10-fails

I have a samba share folder on a 24.04 LTS server configured to allow direct access to a 'Public' folder mounted at boot via /etc/fstab configuration.

On two Windows 11 PC's, I can simply browse in Explorer to \ of server and immediately see the shared folder. Similarly, if I run "net use P: \<shared folder>" the mount is created immediately and works as expected.

On a Windows 10 PC in the same local network when I try to access the samba folder in Explorer, mount via 'net use', etc., I am prompted for a user name and password. Yet no combination of credentials works (hitting 'other' to enter server name\user, different accounts, etc.). The 'net use' command echoes that the password is invalid.

Note that from this Windows 10 PC I am able to sftp into the same ubuntu server with the credentials I'm using trying to mount the samba share.

Is there some difference between Win11 and Win10 that I'm missing? Why would only the Win10 machine prompt for a user/password when Win11 does not? All Windows PC's have network discovery turned on, and are using 'Private' network settings.

Could I have a setting in fstab or smb.conf that is causing this behavior?

Here is the mount line from my fstab file:

UUID="5B2C219C5E6CBAEC" /home/public/Public ntfs-3g auto,user,exec,uid=1002,gid=1002,dmask=000,fmask=111,utf8 0 0

And the output from testparm -s:

Loaded services file OK.

What should I use in instead of ~/.pam_environment (deprecated)? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1505976/what-should-i-use-in-instead-of-pam-environment-deprecated

I used to put user-specific settings like LANGUAGE and PAPERSIZE in ~/.pam_environment, but the manual and the warning emitted on login tells me:

Due to problematic security this functionality is deprecated since the 1.5.0 version and will be removed completely at some point in the future.

Unfortunately that warning only tells me I am doing something wrong, not what I should do instead. I am guessing putting everything in ~/.profile has minor differences, but that is what I should be using if/when the deprecated extra file is discontinued in Ubuntu?

Kernel panic after upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 (virtual machine, Lubuntu) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1273758/kernel-panic-after-upgrading-from-16-04-to-18-04-virtual-machine-lubuntu

I'm trying to upgrade my dev environment (a VMware virtual machine) from 16.04 to 20.04. The upgrade to 18.04 seemed to have run fine, but now when I boot I get a kernel panic and then it says at the end "Machine halted".

I tried to follow the solutions outlined in this similar issue.

Observations:

  • If entering the grub boot menu and selecting the old kernel, I can boot to the desktop just fine.

  • The outlined solutions do not work, for example:

    sudo update-initramfs -u -k 4.15.0-117-generic && sudo update-grub
    

    where the kernel version is the new one from 18.04 version. By not working I mean the boot still fails and the command gives this output:

    I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/sda5
    I: UUID=....
    I: Set the RESUME variable to override this
    

    (while the boot partition is actually /dev/sda1)

Anyway I'm not a Linux pro, and I'm pretty lost about how to solve this problem...

...but the proposed solution does not help as everything is installed correctly (according to apt):

Has 'Ubuntu Software' been renamed to 'Snap Store'? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1252134/has-ubuntu-software-been-renamed-to-snap-store

I updated Ubuntu last night with sudo apt get update && sudo apt get upgrade and to my surprise this morning I didn't find the 'Ubuntu Software' app and there's a new entry called 'Snap Store' which when opened looks just like the old 'Ubuntu Software' app.

Has 'Ubuntu Software' been renamed to 'Snap Store'? If so, why?

Kernel panic when trying to fix broken packages (Nvidia) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1160016/kernel-panic-when-trying-to-fix-broken-packages-nvidia

I tried to install nvidia-driver-430 while I was on nvidia-driver-418, and my computer froze (I'm assuming from a kernel panic due to future information).

Any help is welcome, be it about fixing the kernel panic or about how to get my computer working at all again. Also, I can get into my system, but it doesn't use a graphics driver so the quality is extremely low.

I went to Recovery mode root and tried fixing broken packages:

$ dpkg --configure -a # I'm already root due to being in recovery mode
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130ubuntu3.8) ...

Solutions I've considered but don't work:

  • I can't apt remove nvidia-driver-430 since I get a message `E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.'
  • I've tried using multiple kernel versions (4.15.0-53-generic, 4.18.0-24-generic, 4.19.59-041959-generic). The first two both have the same issue when trying to fix packages, as mentioned above. They also both have the same error in the boot log (see boot log above). The third one, which is the kernel version I usually use, will not boot; it freezes at "Loading initial ramdisk", and stays there for as long as I've tested (up to ten minutes).
  • Switching back to Nouveau and then fixing packages. I can't switch back via terminal because I'd need apt, and when I tried via the GUI my computer froze during the progress bar of installing Nouveau drivers. After the freeze, nothing changes when I try to fix broken packages.
Ubuntu Server 18.04 kernel panic on Linux 4.15.x kernel https://askubuntu.com/questions/1108497/ubuntu-server-18-04-kernel-panic-on-linux-4-15-x-kernel

Updates changed the running kernel version too. Now my computer has two Linux kernels, 4.15.0-43 generic and 4.4.0-141-generic. The first option is 4.15.x and it's stuck at a black screen with a kernel panic error if it is selected.

Is there a way to fix this? Any and all advice appreciated.

Kernel panic at boot - Ubuntu 14.04 with 3.13.0-140-generic https://askubuntu.com/questions/997793/kernel-panic-at-boot-ubuntu-14-04-with-3-13-0-140-generic

Trying to boot I get the following kernel panic just before I would enter my password (Ubuntu 14.04 with Linux kernel 3.13.0-140-generic):

I am able to boot with the older kernel 3.13.0-139-generic.

I reinstalled the linux-headers-3.13.0-140-generic and linux-image-3.13.0-140-generic using synaptic, now I don't even see the output anymore, only a black screen.

Uninstalling TeamViewer solved the problem! I only tried it because it was mentioned in the second line of the kernel panic boot message.

VirtualBox unable to capture device (USB Hard Drive) https://askubuntu.com/questions/958102/virtualbox-unable-to-capture-device-usb-hard-drive

I'm facing some issues with my USB hard drive and VirtualBox. The problem is that it's detected in devices list and I activate the checkbox to capture the device but it's not captured by the guest system (Windows 7). The only way I made it work was adding a filter in virtual machine configuration and when the system starts the device is captured but I don't want this behaviour because when I unplug the device and then plug it again, the same problem occurs, it won't recognize it again until I restart the virtual machine.

Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Can't Use SSH Keys Unless Running SSH With Sudo https://askubuntu.com/questions/756759/cant-use-ssh-keys-unless-running-ssh-with-sudo

For some reason I'm unable to SSH from my Ubuntu 15.10 machine to a remote server using a private key if I run ssh without sudo.

Server side config is fine. I have tested the private key from my Windows machine and from a CentOS box and both can use it.

If I put the private key in ~/.ssh authentication fails and I'm prompted for a password. However, if I put the same private key in /root/.ssh and use sudo ssh I can connect as normal.

Works: sudo ssh user@host.com -vvv

Doesn't Work: ssh user@host.com -vvv

I did notice this in the verbose SSH output.

Without Sudo: Offering RSA public key: /home/matt/.ssh/id_rsa

With Sudo: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/id_rsa

Prior to that line output is the same.

Using the root .ssh directory isn't the end of the world but this doesn't seem correct.

Does anyone know why it's not working with the ssh key in my user's home directory?

Output when running `ssh -vv user@host:

Installing Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS with hardware RAID https://askubuntu.com/questions/560446/installing-ubuntu-14-04-1-lts-with-hardware-raid

I have been having some issues with trying to install Ubuntu off of a live usb. The system has a Intel hardware RAID controller and I wish to run my two HDDs in RAID 1. I have come across and issue when running the installer. There seems to be a ??? ??? prompt with the repitition of ??? ??? which appears after the language/region is set.

From what I have read there seems to be some issue with RAID and Ubuntu 14? The only solution I seem to have found is to install mdadm and create a software RAID configuration. But i am guessing a hardware raid would be better as I have the card?

Can't remember the exact model of the intel RAID card, will update once I have gotten back to the office.

Any one have any solutions? will check against the compatibility pages once I can get back to the computer to check the RAID card model.

Thanks in advance!

However when I browse to localhost/myweb/static/images I am getting:

Not Found

The requested URL /myweb/static/images was not found on this server.

Why isn't it redirecting to localhost/myweb/images?

How to connect to a shared folder in windows xp? https://askubuntu.com/questions/417526/how-to-connect-to-a-shared-folder-in-windows-xp

Alright, so I am trying to access a shared folder on Windows XP (on another computer). Both are connected to the Internet and on the same network. They run in Windows Virtual machines (that came with windows 7, can't install virtualbox). Does anyone know how to access it? Some steps or a guide would help since im pretty much a noob in lubuntu. Thanks!

Ubuntu gets stuck in a login loop https://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/ubuntu-gets-stuck-in-a-login-loop

My Ubuntu is stuck in a login loop when trying to enter my desktop. When I login, the screen gets black and soon after that the login screen comes back.

I've read that the problem might be caused by an error depending on the graphics, here's my graphics card: ATI Radeon 7670M

Help: Ubuntu installation not working... Kernel Panic [closed] https://askubuntu.com/questions/131720/help-ubuntu-installation-not-working-kernel-panic

I just tried to download and install Ubuntu on my HP Pavilion desktop, I installed it on a separate 72gb partition on my hard drive with the hopes of running it alongside Windows X of a case this Professional. I used the Ubuntu Windows Installer and now whenever I reboot the machine and choose Ubuntu I get a message saying Kernel Panic, I'm sorry I didn't write down the specifics, but I will try to restart, write everything down, and reply with all the pertinent info.

Hello Barry, thank you for your quick response. Let me try to clarify. My computer has a 250GB hard drive with 2 partitions. One of the partitions, the D: drive has 72GB of free space on it. I used the following installer, not the live DVD, to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-with-windows The installer had a dropdown menu that allowed me to select the 72GB partition. Once the installer went through its motions, it indicated that the system would need to be rebooted in order for the installation to be complete. I rebooted it, chose Ubuntu instead of Windows XP and got the following Kernel Panic message... [ 6.005387] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount... then there are about a dozen more lines of text after that, I would try to post a picture of the screen, but I don't know how to.

Sorry for the late reply John, I just saw your comments. To answer your question, yes I tried installing Ubuntu on a hard drive that I also have Windows on, the main partition, the C: drive is the one that Windows is actually installed on, and the secondary partition, the D: drive (the 72GB partition) is the one I tried installing Ubuntu on. The D; drive actually had a few random files like music and pictures on it when I tried installing Ubuntu to it. I am now reformatting that drive so that it is completely empty, once it's been formatted I will try to reinstall Ubuntu. I am not sure what Wubi is... is that something I need to run as well? I apologize for being such a noob to all of this. I'm so excited to finally try Ubuntu.

@John: I tried to upload a screenshot of the kernel panic message, but this message system isn't allowing me to post an image because I haven't earned at least 10 reputation points yet. I'm sorry, I just figured out that yes I did indeed use Wubi in another partition that Windows is not in. Is that my problem? Do I need to reinstall Ubuntu via WUBI in the main partition of my hard drive where Windows is located?

@John, do you by chance know if I can just create a bootable USB flash drive to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu in my empty 72GB partition? I want to be able to dual boot Ubuntu alongside Windows XP.

Poor Video Playback - Low Frame Rate https://askubuntu.com/questions/100292/poor-video-playback-low-frame-rate

I have pretty poor frame rate when playing .avi video files.

I tried VLC player, but I am still not satisfied because it is bad comparing to windows. I played some .rmvb (RealMedia) movie yesterday, and it was damn slow.

I use ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphic driver and default VLC setup.

enter image description here

Is there anything I can do to speed it up?
