I am trying to install Ubuntu Server (26.04 snapshot2) on a server-ish motherboard (Gigabyte MC62-G40) that has an onboard BMC with a VGA port. Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with the hardware so that, although I can see the output through the BMC using the H5 remote viewer, nothing is actually shown to the monitor. It remains in hibernate mode.

I have installed a second graphics card (Radeon HD6450) but, for some reason, the BIOS cannot be encouraged to use it over the onboard one. So when Ubuntu Server launches I can still only see the output via the H5 viewer. Again, nothing is shown on the external monitor.

I can install Desktop and then set the displays to Mirror. This has the desired effect and I can see the output on the monitor. However, this only occurs after I have logged in - which is tricky with a blank screen!

I'd like to avoid installing Desktop if I can so is there another way to make the displays mirror?

Downloaded the files over the weekend and used balenaEtcher to create a USB installer. I've tried several times to install (as a dual boot) but it hangs every time either at the keyboard version screen or the wifi screen. None of the buttons on either page responds at that point and I just have to force a shutdown.

I recently bought this front-panel USB hub and installed it. It seems to work fine, but now whenever I put my computer to sleep, it wakes back up again immediately. Super annoying, because I use sleep all the time. At least one reviewer on Amazon noted the same behavior, and it started immediately and consistently after installing this hub, so it's definitely the culprit. It does this whether there's anything plugged into it or not. I'd rather not return it because it's the only hub I found that has the exact features I need, so I figured if I can get my OS to stop allowing this device to wake the computer, I can keep it installed.

I tried the solutions presented here, but what I'm seeing when trying to diagnose the problem doesn't totally seem to match the answers given, and I've tried those things anyway but they aren't working and I'm stumped. I tried following the answer which suggests editing /etc/rc.local, but couldn't seem to get anywhere with it. However, it says to check cat /var/log/syslog to find which device is waking the PC, and I can't tell exactly which device that is, so I might not have done that right.

Here is all the relevant output from sudo dmesg:

I'm not really sure what I'm looking at or for, but I've been doing some googling to try to figure this out, and came across this question, which seems relevant because I notice the same things in my dmesg output. No helpful answer, though.

I noticed that the device GPP7 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:02.1 shows up in the dmesg logs too, so I tried echo GPP7 > /proc/acpi/wakeup and that didn't seem to help (the device shows as disabled but was apparently not the problem).

Kubuntu 24.04, Kernel 6.14.0-37-generic

I'm stumped, and honestly I don't fully understand what I'm looking at here. Any suggestions?

New-ish 'full time' Ubuntu user here, with a new PC loaded with Ubuntu 24.04 as my daily driver.
AFAIK, the Gigabyte control center software only works in Windows.

(I also posted this on https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/, and https://www.reddit.com/r/Gigabyte, but zero response so far. Hoping that someone here will know something about something)

I am trying to find a way to have intake & exhaust fans spin up when 'any' temp sensor hits a certain temperature. The issue seems to be that in BIOS/UEFI, Fan Control, I can only select '1 input' source (e.g. CPU/other) at a time, to control either the intakes, the rear exhaust, the AIO pump / Fans.

Gigabyte controller does not seem to expose all sensors to Ubuntu 24.04, so I am unable to create profiles/rules with linux-friendly fan controllers. That leaves me with UEFI/BIOS settings.

AIO cooler pump and fans, are kind of okay being controlled by CPU temp, but not really ideal to tie the exhaust & intakes to CPU temp only.

Parts of my board/system 'get hot' independent of the CPU. PCH/VRM Mos/GPU/anything to do with data when one of the NVMe's is churning through a big DB.

I'd like to be able to use some kind of custom fan-control profile so that intake and rear exhaust spin up if any of the following gets hot:

• GPU
• CPU
• PCH
• VRM Mos
• NVMe

'Hot Zone' (still can't figure out where this is on the X870e, that's just what I've called it).

But as it is, I have to assign in BIOS each fan curve profile, to one of the sensors. Which means that if I assign CPU temp to CPU, fans spin up when CPU gets hot, but not for GPU or VRM etc.

Only thing I can think of to cover all the bases, is having the intakes and rear exhaust at max all the time. But, annoying.

Just wondered if I'd missed anything, or if Gigabyte were considering exposing the temps for specific areas via the controller in a future update.

Re: I can't test because I don't have this MOBO. So this should at least give you access to the sensors which should be the first step. Also, see here – mchid

Thanks mchid

I've had a look at that post, and run (yes to everything)

sudo sensors-detect

End of that output is

Sorry, no sensors were detected. Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check https://hwmon.wiki.kernel.org/device_support_status for driver status.

The link gives me a 404. So have searched for similar to that in the link, and found https://docs.kernel.org/search.html?q=x870e. There are 3 x870e mobo's listed, but not my manufacturer (Gigabyte).

Google Gemini - I searched for "linux kernel support for sensors on gigabyte x870e", and Gemini informs me that I need to install kernel modules:

support for sensor monitoring on Gigabyte X870E motherboards (such as the Aorus Elite WiFi7) is generally good for temperatures, but often requires manual configuration for full fan speed monitoring and control. The motherboard utilizes ITE Super I/O chips (commonly identified with IDs like 0x8688), which require special kernel modules and parameters to function correctly.

That seems to be similar to the post you linked by Emily Horsman.

And I have output about family ITE from sensors-detect, that seems similar:

Trying family `ITE'...                                      Yes Found unknown chip with ID 0x8696

I did try

sudo modprobe it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'it87': No such device

I'll read more on frankcrawford's git after some sleep ;-)

I search for an alternative to find all visible errors of a video. Currently I use a script, to find errors via libx264, the video decoding analysis of it.

It provides the time stamp, the error ... :

#!/bin/bash

while IFS= read -r -d $'\0' video
do
    filename=$(basename -- "$video")
    filename="${filename%.*}"
    
    ffmpeg -y -i "$video" -vcodec libx264 -crf 51 -preset ultrafast -acodec copy -f mp4 -movflags frag_keyframe+empty_moov+delay_moov pipe:1 >/dev/null 2>"${filename}.txt" </dev/null
    TxtFileName="${filename}.txt" 
    mystring=${TxtFileName}
    echo $mystring
    grep -i -n 'error\|duplicate\|failure\|missing\|POCs\|corrupt' "${TxtFileName}"
    echo "Ready"
    
done < <(find -iregex ".*\.\(mp4\|mkv\|m2ts\|mpg\|ts\)" -print0)
echo "Ready"
read pause

It checks all files of a directory, given by the file-extension. It writes a txt-file, same name of the video with the analyzed results. But it is very slow, e.g.: to check a 720p video it needs xspeed <= 6.

Is an alternative available (e.g. by ffprobe, ...) to have the same results but faster ?

Ubuntu 24.04, gdb 15.0.50.20240403-0ubuntu1, gcc Ubuntu 13.2.0-23ubuntu4, all installed via apt from repo.

When I go into gdb (command-line or from my IDE) and run I get a whole bunch (20?) of

could not find '.gnu_debugaltlink' file for /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0

messages. This is really annoying. It did not happen at Ubuntu 22.04.

I have Googled but not found any way to suppress these messages. I will not have, and do not want/need, all these sundry library '.gnu_debugaltlink' files. Is there some way/setting these messages can be made not to appear?

P.S. As per @steeldriver's comment I already have set debuginfod enabled off as the only line in my ~/.gdbinit. And show debuginfod gives

(gdb) show debuginfod
debuginfod enabled:  Debuginfod functionality is currently set to "off".

Mind I notice it also says

debuginfod verbose:  Debuginfod verbose output is set to 1.

Maybe that needs to be changed...? Hmm, sadly not, just tried set debuginfod verbose 0, that takes OK but does not suppress the messages.

I can't upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 so far since it was launched many weeks ago.

It starts fine. Then it asks for enabling third-party sources. Then it fails at the second step (setting new software channels).

It shows me a tab of errors, then it cancels the whole process.

Once I click OK on the error the whole process gets canceled automatically.

After trying to upgrade then failed, I tried to reboot.

This what it shows which I think it's the reason. It's the shim signature. I don't want to download an ISO and do full formatting. I only want to upgrade.

error: prohibited by secure boot policy.
error: bad shim signature.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

I'm looking for a text expander, that works with Ubuntu 24.04.

Espanso doesn't work unfortunately.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I would appreciate any kind of help!

As summarized here, I am posting a screenshot since did not know how else could address this issue.

Someone mentioned that 22.04 is using the 6.8 kernel. How to update? I used boot-recovery and still nothing

This message appears on the startup/shutdown terminal, and I am unable to power off the machine. I am first going to drain the battery, and hope that it comes back to life after restart. Here is the situation.

I started the reset process after installing the Ubuntu Desktop ISO image. I created a profile. As the restart was starting I took out the Ubuntu USB with the ISO on it. All of a sudden my screen was filled with console messages running with text stating:

systemd-journald[1016]: Failed to send WATCHDOG=1 notification message: Transport enpoint is not connected

This script is now frozen and my keyboard does not seem to be working, however I can turn my Fn lock on and off, but there are no power options.

Apparently it has something to do with my fragment cache entry.

I have plugged the USB flash drive back in, and now I'm getting this message:

SQUASHFS error: unable to read page, block 405819c, size c207

and now back to:

systemd-journald[1016]: Failed to send WATCHDOG=1 notification message: Transport endpoint is not connected

This video taught me that there are different length hard shutdowns.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 under Windows Subsystem for Linux. I have a VPN running inside Ubuntu to access an API on a remote system.

This VPN only works with a Linux client app. I want to try the API using Postman in Windows, but this is "outside" WSL2 and the VPN network.

Since I can't install my VPN in Windows and Postman does not work under Linux/WSLg, how can I re-route my Windows Postman request traffic to WSL2?

In certain applications trying to use ctrl-c to copy using the left ctrl key doesn't work but using the right ctrl key works as expected.

I'm on Ubuntu 21.10 but this has been happening in previous versions. My laptop is a Gigabyte Aorus 7 using the built in keyboard using US keyboard layout for the language setting.

I do not have this mapped as a custom shortcut anywhere.

For example, in Nemo or Nautilus I often want to copy the name of the file, or rename it from text I've copied from elsewhere. So, I press F2 on the file in order to then copy the text (or paste text to rename it).

This works fine with the right ctrl-c / ctrl-v combination.

With the left as soon as I hit the ctrl key it goes out of edit mode. It's like I've hit the escape key.

BUT in LibreOffice it works fine, just as expected. Both left and right ctrl-c / ctrl-v work fine.

Another application I use is a commercial tool called EdrawMax. This is a Visio like application for flow charting. It also has odd behaviour if I'm trying to copy items in it using left ctrl-c but works fine with right ctrl-c.

What gives?

I can't seem to resize or expand my Ubuntu partition (/dev/sda6) using GParted, no matter whats

Here is a screenshot of my GParted.

I used to have Windows 10 installed on /dev/sda which, after installing Ubuntu, I have now deleted from the dual boot.

I know a lot of other similar answers exist, but none of them have been able to resolve my situation. Booting from a live Ubuntu USB doesn't seem to work either.

As shown in the boot messages, my disk problem has not been solved.

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 bionic and installed the xfce4 package. However, when I choose "Xfce session" in the login manager, it does not log me on to Xfce4 but instead throws me right back to the login window. Why is this and how can I fix it?

Just migrated from Windows.

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

One of the reasons why I migrated was the lure of being able to customize everything about the GUI.

Recently I was looking at some image files and installed Image Magick. It's now showing on "Show Applications". I don't like the icon so I wanted to remove it, but I was told that it's really important because of some dependencies (weird, because I had to install it first). So, I would like to know if I can just make it not show up in "Show Applications". That'd be useful, because there's a lot of other defaults apps that I don't use but don't want to mess around with.

Thank you for your attention.

Edit:

For anyone who googles this, the solution I went with was to backup the .desktop files under ./usr/share/applications, and then delete the originals. It's not a perfect solutions. Updates bring them back. Snap apps (what you install from the "Ubuntu Software" app) can be found in .var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications. Some software that you install won't be in either. To find those, to the root folder with the Files app, then search for *.desktop. You can then right-click the file in question and press on "Open Item Location."

I am trying to set up a Dual Boot Ubuntu 20.04 - preinstalled Windows 10 Pro on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7gen.

Problem:
I cannot find the bootable Ubuntu Live USB in the Boot Menu and therefore not setup a dual boot.

The setup:

• Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th
• BIOS MODE UEFI with BIOS Version LENOVO N2HET47W (1.30), 3/18/2020

What have I done:

• Created Ubuntu 20.04 Live USB using Rufus using Partition Scheme GPT, Target System UEFI(non CSM), File System FAT32
• Tried with disabled and not-disabled secure boot, disabled fast startup
• Confirmed the Ubuntu 20.04 Live USB works with a Lenovo Thinkpad E480 with UEFI and BIOS Version LENOVO R0PET63W (1.40), 03/01/2020

Help would be much appreciated ;)

After upgrading from 18.10 to 19.04 (Kubuntu) I get a kernel panic when booting with the recent 5.0.0 kernel. Booting the previous 4.18.0 kernel works without problems, however I cannot figure out the reason for these kernel panics.

Kernel panic (short):

BusyBox v1.27.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

The former contains the screen I "normally" get, the latter contains a screen I only got once. Can somebody advise in which direction I can further investigate?

I'm a newbie to Linux and tried to install Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Desktop (link). I had 25.1 GB of free disk on C Drive and followed this tutorial to install it with my USB drive.

After entering the Boot screen on my laptop and choosing "UEFI" -> Install Ubuntu, this screen appeared. I spent the whole night waiting for it to load, but after 8 hours nothing happened.

I've tried searching the internet but didn't see a solution that actually works on my laptop. I turned it off and turned it on with Windows 10, and saw that C drive only has 17.7 GB free disk now.

But I have python2.7 installed. When I run python in terminal, it works properly (Python 2.7.15rc1 (default, Apr 15 2018, 21:51:34)). What should I do in this situation? Things I have tried include:

is it safe to put the swap file on there or would it hurt it in the long run,

I heard some people saying that new SSDs don't suffer from that issue anymore, is this true?
