I'm a complete Linux newbie and I'm trying to install the GMP library on Kubuntu 26.04 to run some computations, since everything on Linux runs faster (good job Microslop).

While running the configure file for GMP i get the following error:

I can confirm that gcc and g++ are correctly installed and working. Looking this error up online I also found out that adding the build option --build=x86_64-linux might solve the issue but I had no luck.

Lastly, having installed gcc from apt, I saw that it has been installed in /usr instead of the classical /usr/local, but adding --prefix=/usr does not help again.

I am lost, if somebody could help I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

I have laptop Intel NUC P14E (i3-1155g4). After install any Linux distribution (arch, Ubuntu and etc.) I have scratch sound. Any one knows how to get right sound ?

I have a Sony VAIO VPCCW13FX with an Nvidia GeForce 310M GPU in it. I can get Lubuntu to install and run as long as I have nomodeset put next to quiet splash. I tried Ubuntu, but I can't get the installer to load even with nomodeset. I've tried everything to get drivers for the Nvidia 310M, but everything I find is either outdated or broken. The Additional Drivers tool doesn't detect the GPU, and I tried in the terminal too, but it still didn't work. I'm using Lubuntu 26.04.

I am trying to sign in ubuntu website but website not working and give error like Nagina(ubuntu)

Hardware: RTX 3090, LG 32LF510Z TV over HDMI Software: NVIDIA 595.84, kernel 7.0.0-28, Ubuntu 24.04, GDM/Xorg

Symptom Plymouth / Ubuntu boot logos display correctly on the TV. Once GDM starts, the TV shows “No signal.” The box is not headless — nvidia-smi works, another monitor works fine over the same GPU.

What the logs say Xorg init prints:

nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Unable to read EDID for display device HDMI-1 (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DFP-5: connected ... (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1360x768+0+0"; removing. (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default mode (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "DFP-5:nvidia-auto-select"

So Xorg sees the connector, but cannot read EDID. Without EDID it rejects every forced candidate and falls back to nvidia-auto-select, which the TV then refuses.

What was tried (all failed)

Diagnosis The TV’s EDID reports 1360x768 as preferred timing, but the panel is natively 1366x768. Early boot (firmware/kernel fbcon) ignores EDID and pushes a mode anyway, so logos appear. Xorg’s NVIDIA DDX respects EDID, cannot read it cleanly on this driver/kernel combo, and ends up with a timing the TV won’t lock onto.

Open question / workaround Has anyone gotten this TV (or any EDID-lying panel with preferred != native) working under NVIDIA 595 + kernel 7.0 without a custom EDID blob? The untested path is capturing the EDID, patching the preferred timing to 1366x768, and loading it via Xorg CustomEDID.

TL;DR — Box is healthy. This is an NVIDIA + LG EDID handshake bug. Boot path works; Xorg path does not.

Hardware

• Lenovo ThinkPad T480s
• Fibocom L850 (Intel XMM7360 PCIe)
• Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute)
• Kernel 7.0.0-28-generic
• iosm kernel driver
• ModemManager 1.25.95
• NetworkManager 1.54.3

Carrier

• Lifecell (Ukraine)

Problem

The carrier provides two APNs:

• internet
• internet2

These APNs allocate different public IP pools, so it is easy to determine which APN is actually being used.

Windows:

When I select internet2, I receive an IP address from the internet2 pool.

Linux:

My NetworkManager profile is configured with:

APN = internet2

ModemManager reports the same:

mmcli -b 0

Properties: apn: internet2

and

mmcli -m 0

3GPP EPS: initial bearer apn: internet2

The modem also reports:

AT+CGDCONT?

CGDCONT: 0 ... "internet" CGDCONT: 1 ... "internet2"

The active bearer reports:

connected: yes apn: internet2

Everything appears to be configured for internet2.

However, the public IP address always belongs to the internet APN pool, never the internet2 pool.

Things I have already tried:

• Deleted every GSM connection.
• Recreated NetworkManager profiles.
• Disabled gsm.auto-config.
• Modified serviceproviders.xml.
• Verified Initial EPS Bearer configuration.
• Verified the active bearer APN.
• Manually modified CGDCONT.
• Disabled/enabled the modem.
• Restarted NetworkManager.

Confirmed that ModemManager still reports internet2.

Nothing changes the assigned public IP.

Question

Has anyone seen this behaviour?

Could the iosm driver (or the Intel ModemManager plugin) still activate the default PDP context (internet) while ModemManager reports the configured APN (internet2)?

Or is there another place where the actual attach APN is selected?

During 26.04 instal, got message, No internet e computer but I had the Net on the Mac I was converting. Now can’t connect online. What can I do?

I installed the latest version of Ubuntu, but it isn't detecting any Wi-Fi networks. I used to use Windows, and honestly, I have no idea how to get it to detect the networks.

I had been getting 502 error from the last 4 days while accessing Ubuntu pro dashboard and login page. Can anyone tell me how to resolve it?

I am using btrfs and have updated my version a few times. In a quest to figure out why df -h says I'm using almost all my disk space when according to du I should have a few hundred GB left, I started looking at my btrfs snapshots/subvolumes. I have not touched anything to do with btrfs, so all settings should be completely default. The full output of sudo btrfs subvolume list / is

There seem to be some very old snapshots here that I don't need anymore, but I cannot figure out how to delete them. Every guide out there says to just run btrfs subvolume delete /path/to/subvolume but every possible way I can think of to insert the "paths" that I'm given just result in ERROR: Could not statfs: No such file or directory

Edit: I also figured out why my filesystem was full when it shouldn't have been. Btrfs needs to be rebalanced and defragmented every so often. I believe it was the rebalancing that did it, as per this thread https://askubuntu.com/a/464531/2483935, but I also ran a defragment without checking filesystem usage in between so maybe just run both.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS MS Surface Pro 4 laptop

I have followed the install process for the kernel at least 3 times not it does not appear in the Advanced Options.

I am just about to give up. Does anyone have a solution?

I'm trying to open a new xterm window with a different PS1. I've tried:

xterm -e '/bin/bash -i -l -c "export PS1=foo"'

This immediately closes xterm. So I tried:

xterm -hold -e '/bin/bash -i -l -c "export PS1=foo"'

which keeps xterm open, but I can't use it, i.e.: there is no prompt. Then played around with various options like:

xterm  -e  "export PS1=foo; $SHELL"

and so on ... But none seem to work. Can you please help?

I had a Lenovo Thinkpad T490 with a 256GB NVMe 2280 SSD loading Windows 11.

I want to install Kubuntu 26.04 on this laptop. For this I got another 256GB NVMe 2230 SSD and connected it to the WLAN port of the laptop.

Windows recognised this drive correctly. Then I boot from Kubuntu Live USB and that recognises both drives as well.

I installed Kubuntu on the new SSD with a partition configuration of 300MB FAT32 partition mounted to /boot/efi and boot flag on, and the rest of the drive formatted to ext4 mounted to /.

Install process goes on smoothly and it says "Finished". However, on reboot (after removing the live USB), it directly boots to Windows without the dual boot options.

So, as suggested in a Youtube video, I removed the original 2280 SSD and then reinstalled Kubuntu on the new 2230 SSD using the live USB (this time used Erase Disk option instead of manual partitioning).

This time again, the install went on smoothly, but when I rebooted after removing the liveusb, it doesn't show boot screen at all. Instead the BIOS asks for a medium to boot from.

I'd like to mention that in case of both installs, Kubuntu shows in the BIOS boot priority list and it didn't work even after putting it on the top of the list.

I am returning to Linux after 15 years, so please be patient with me.

After installing Ubuntu 26.04 in Asus Expertbook Ultra (X7 385H) why getting problem in some function keys. Like brightness increase / decrease, fingerprint option not showing in settings, and IR facial recognition login option is not working.

FINAL UPDATE

I finally got this janky operating system fixed.

My System

1. version of Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
2. output of uname -r is: 7.0.0-28-generic
3. GPU hardware name/model: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Because the screen size is 640x480 I can only see partial dialogs. Dialogs with interactive buttons are off screen. There is no known (to me) method to views dialogs that require a space larger than 640x480 pixels.

At the time when the screen size got stuck at 640x480 I was NOT updating anything. I was only using the computer in normal ways that users use computers.

At the time when the screen size got stuck at 640x480 I had unusual problems with my external USB drive not functioning correctly and acting weird. This led to rebooting my Ubuntu machine. This is when the resolution got stuck at 640x480.

At the time when the screen size got stuck at 649x480 I tried updating my Ubuntu machine thinking this may fix the problem. Things got worse. The updater couldn't accomplish certain things and gave errors. Due to the above condition I am unable to describe what these problems were for lack of visuals (i.e. dialogs off the screen).

I'd rather not reformat the entire system - but this may be the only option.

UPDATE 1:

After reading random solutions on the internet I have this really bad feeling that it's 100% impossible for me to fix this. If my system has recently updated to something absolutely incompatible with my GPU card then I guess I'm just hosed. There's no way I'll be able to "hack" a driver as others have suggested.

This is why I've always been against upgrades - especially when nothing was broken to begin with. At the very least there should be some method to roll back to the previous state if some problem like this were to occur.

EDIT 1 & 2 - (A) added Ubuntu version (B) added descriptive text. (C) deleted a paragraph (D) Deleted and added text at top

EDIT 3

I believe I have the Desktop version of Ubuntu - it just says Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS with no mention about kernels. I installed the original Desktop version in January of 2026 using a bootable USB. Therefore, the version was likely version 22 (or close to that version).

I wasn't updating (yesterday) when the resolution got stuck at 640x480. Although it is possible that one or two or three or seven days ago I updated. I just don't know. But my machine was in high resolution mode when I booted it - it was only after rebooting (yesterday) that the resolution issue showed up. Regarding Updates: although I wasn't updating anything yesterday I began updating to try to fix the sudden resolution problem. Updating failed. I got error messages. I tried a partial update. I guess that worked. (except for the resolution).

I ran the following command to see if there were NVIDIA errors:

Sudo dmesg

I saved the above output to a text file, then searched for things like “error” – and found nothing. The output text is lengthy. The copy is on my MacBook). I am hesitant to post all this data online (it is lengthy). Therefore, it would be helpful if I had some idea what to look for.

I copied the dpkg.log file (to my MacBook). This should have information on system updates. Which there are because I deleted all NVIDIA stuff and then ran an update to force an update (this procedure is online somewhere). But there was an update prior to this (which was failing for some reason). Again, what should I look for here?

I created a bootable USB with Ubuntu 22.04.5 on it and observed that I could achieve a default resolution of 1080x1920 (and higher). I used the “Try Ubuntu” menu item (which is neat). I got the ISO from here: https://releases.ubuntu.com/jammy/

Prior to creating the above bootable USB I did the same, but using Ubuntu 26.04 for the bootable USB (the latest as of today’s date). I got this ISO from here: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop This didn't work. I got the following error so I killed it

Ubuntu 26.04 [ 27.969569] Novacore0000:03:00.0 Unsupported chipset: boot42 = 0x136a1000 (architecture 0x13, implementation 0x6)

That's all I have for now - as of July 24, 2026.

Reinstalling an Ubuntu version that works for my NVIDA card is likely the most efficient. Long distance computer forensics will take years (sarcasm) to find the root problem. But, I think everybody already knows what the problem is. Ubuntu doesn't work with my graphics card. Pretty simple.

I now know that Ubuntu 22.04.5 works.

EDIT 4 - added the output of uname -r at top (7.0.0-28-generic). running "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" followed by rebooting did not fix the problem.

im having a really annoying problem on my dell latitude e7450 (intel graphics) where Ubuntu won't turn the screen back on after sleep. the laptop wakes up, but the screen just stays totally black.

I'm on the latest version of Ubuntu and I'm using Wayland. (just to be clear, I want to stick with Wayland and I haven't tried xorg at all for this).

Here's a list of what I've tried so far using Kate to edit the config files:

I tried fixing the Intel power-saving stuff:

I added i915.enable_dc=0 and i915.enable_psr=0 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.

Forced deep sleep:

I also added mem_sleep_default=deep to the grub cmdline to make sure it's actually going into a real sleep state.

Enabled early KMS for the graphics driver:

I added i915 to the bottom of my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file so the driver loads early.

After doing all that, i ran sudo update-grub and sudo update-initramfs -u and rebooted.

Even after updating Ubuntu to the latest version and applying all these fixes, it still doesn't fix the screen wake up problem. Does anyone know what else I can try to fix this black screen issue on Wayland?

I've been trying to get my UB600 Bluetooth dongle to work, however it seems that it's not compatible out of the box. In fact, there's only 1 place with a solution how to get it to work however it seems the explanation on how to do it goes over my head. I've tried using what they gave me in konsole but some things just error and I can't seem to get around that. The fix I've been attempting is this. The issue I'm having is, it detects the Bluetooth dongle, but the computer is then unable to detect any Bluetooth devices at all. The lsusb is exactly as shown on that link as is the journalctl.

Results of lsusb | grep -i 'tp-link':

Bus 001 Device 012: ID 37ad:0600  TP-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter

Results of journalctl:

Is there any chance somebody could explain to me like I'm a 5 year old how to apply that patch, or better yet, create a solution for me? I am running Kubuntu 26.04 on kernel 7.0.0-27-27.

Edit: Following "david" in the comments advice results.

Edit: I should specify this dongle is a Bluetooth 6.0 dongle.

It might be due to the upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 (from 25.10) or to a recent UEFI firmware update (0.1.63) on my Lenovo Thinkpad P14s, but I cannot activate Bluetooth anymore. It appears in the system menu as switched off, turning it on does not do anything.

Tried:

$ rfkill list

    Hard blocked: no

    Soft blocked: no

mei 29 02:12:33 thinkpad-p14s systemd[1]: bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service skipped, unmet condition check ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/class/bluetooth

There is no /sys/class/bluetooth... Should there be?

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --reinstall bluez linux-firmware -y
sudo reboot

But no dice...

Also tried, as suggested in many other forum threads:

• disabling LAN, WAN and Bluetooth in UEFI settings then rebooting and re-enabling them again

• a factory reset of UEFI settings

• disabling Secure Boot

Sadly, there is no option to boot into a kernel version pre 7 on Ubuntu 26.04 anymore...

Does anyone know what can be done to get Bluetooth back up and running again?

I am a newbie, so i am sorry in advance.

I have a very old scanner/printer. It worked on Windows 11 but every since i changed to ubundu (24.04.3), i cannot make it work.
I read that the transition package libpango1.0-0 was dropped in ubundu 24, and i dont know how to tell my scanner's drivers which depend on libpango1.0-0 that it's the same as libpango-1.0-0.

sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-0 did not work

scanner driver is from there https://asia.canon/en/support/0100551901?model=8330B, (there was also a source file , but i did not get any better results https://asia.canon/en/support/0100553202?model=8330B)

I tried to creat sym link as follows:

sudo
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpango-1.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libpango1.0.so.0

and rebooted but it did not get any results , i think maybe because i dont know where install.sh is looking for dependencies . I nano-ed into install.sh, but i could not figure it out.

I appreciate ur help.

Best wishes

I have a new Logitech LIFT mouse and want to remap the thumb buttons. Now the buttons are assigned to go back one page in the web browser and forward, essentially as Alt+← and Alt+→, repsectively.

I want to remap them to Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab instead, so I can cycle through my tabs in the browser and other applications.

I have tried to map them with Solaar following THIS POST but it does not seem to recognize the thumb buttons there. It might also be that I do not understand how "Key Button Diversion" works.

I am unsure how to approach this further, and where to look.

I am running Ubuntu 24.10 and GNOME 47 (Wayland), but am still very new to this.

Since more than one month I see this process "gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor" using one of my cpu-cores constantly between 25 and 50 %.
I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS on Linux 6.2.0-35-generic, x86-64, Consumer hardware used as server and media system, CPU: Ryzen 3 4300GE, OS and some data is on an nvme-ssd (2tb 970 evo plus), data is on 3 hard drives, two of them are in a mdadm-raid and mainly sleeping, all in a self-printed pc-case, no other storage connected, two usb connected for giving power to switch and light and one usb for USV-communication and one for keyboard. Unplugging all USBs does not change cpu-usage. gvfs versions seems to be 1.48.2-0ubuntu1. I mainly run Nextcloud, Jellyfin, and Apache2, some minor apps and docker containers.
Here is a graph of the cpu-usage measured every half an hour with ps -e -o pid,user,comm,%cpu | grep 'gvfs-udisks', the spike at the end was after a reboot:

Please help me fix this.
I don't know what additional info is needed, I will just list things I've tried here:

1. I tried killing it according to this answer but then I was not able to access or empty my trash and it came back alive anyway so I reverted.
2. I tried stopping all my docker containers with no difference.
3. to make sure this is no virus I was looking at parent processes:

I'd like to do the same thing like that:

Increase number of old kernels to keep on autoremove

but in Ubuntu 22.04 I can't find the apt-auto-removal file.

Update:

These are the contents of this directory.

00aptitude        15update-stamp      20packagekit          60icons
00trustcdrm       20apt-esm-hook.conf 20snapd.conf          60icons-hidpi

10periodic        20dbus              50unattended-upgrades

and I have an "01autoremove" file, and this is what I have inside:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d$ cat 01autoremove :

APT
{
  NeverAutoRemove
  {
    "^firmware-linux.*";

  };

    ".*-kernel";
  };

    "contrib/oldlibs";
    "non-free/oldlibs";
    "restricted/oldlibs";

    "multiverse/oldlibs";
  };
};

Do you know what I need to change?

I don't understand the significance of Ubuntu version numbers, especially the last portion (ex. ".4")

On the Ubuntu download page, there are the following options:

Standard support
LTS Releases
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) ›
Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa) ›
Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (Bionic Beaver) › 

FROM: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Version             End of Standard Support   End of Life
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS    April 2027                April 2032
Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS  July 2022                 July 2022

What is the difference between Jammy Jellyfish and Focal Fossa?

Is 22.04 newer than 20.04.4?

Does this have anything to do with the "End of Life" date?

I just discovered thermald for preventing machines from overheating. I'd like some basic suggestions on how to modify the xml configuration file. Below is the one I have at /etc/thermald/thermal-conf.xml. From some examples I have skimmed online, it seems it is set to start preventing overheating at 55 C (if I am reading the <Temperature>55000</Temperature> line correctly), but my cores reach even 94 C with fans going on.

I am using a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz machine.

I have little linux experience and am wondering if anyone can help me with this? I have a Realtek 8812AU / 8821AU USB wifi dongle and am needing the drivers for it so I don't have to be tethered to my router. I've tried using make, git clone, and DKMS to clone repos and build the drivers, and when I've gotten some to show up and be selected in Ubuntu's Software & Updates additional drivers panel, the adapter still never works (when it is in use a blue light flashes). How can I get it to work?

Here is some info:

Server is Ubuntu 16.04. I have a process running with nohup that logs into a local file. This file gets big enough to consume 100% disk space. To resolve this I have to kill the process first and then remove the log file. Then I restart the process. How can I resolve this with a script or some other tool?

I need to upgrade the php version to 7.2 in my Lampp. Actually, when I am checking php -v in terminal, it's showing the following result:

PHP 7.2.1-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Jan 11 2018 22:52:58) ( NTS )

    with Zend OPcache v7.2.1-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies

But I am running the file from opt/lampp/htdocs and there I am getting the php version as 5.6.3 which needs to be upgraded to 7.2. I was referring the following steps to install this originally.

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php7-mysql php7 libapache2-mod-php7 php7-mcrypt phpmyadmin

I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I am a high school teacher, and I want a software to create a school timetable. Just to feed it with the class lessons and teacher, for the teacher section. To provide it with subjects being taught, to auto generate it.

Would be an alternative to Windows's aScTimeTables.
