After updating to 26.04, I can not switch power modes in the Quick Settings. Well, it did work ONE time, when setting to "Performance" but after that, I could not switch to "Balanced" or "Power Saver" and trying to set Power mode in Settings is the same thing.

running

sudo powerprofilesctl set balanced

works as a workaround but this does not fix the issue in Quick Settings.

This worked fine in 25.10. Is this permanently fixable?

How to fix this ? I use ubuntu 22.04 LTS on WSL

My Galaxy Book2 Pro 5G's speakers were working, but after restarting the computer, the sound disappeared again. So I tried running some code, and the sound came back.

(sudo apt install -y alsa-tools

wget https://github.com/joshuagrisham/galaxy-book2-pro-linux/raw/main/sound/necessary-verbs.sh

chmod +x necessary-verbs.sh

sudo ./necessary-verbs.sh)

Is there a way to automatically execute this code at boot? Please advise!

and hoping a good day to anyone reading this.

I recently installed Kubuntu on my 2019 MacBook Air, because macOS became very slow and it used to heat up very quickly, even if I ran like 3 tabs lol.

And after I installed Kubuntu, I never knew this laptop was this fast.

But now i have a problem. Whenever the laptop goes to sleep, like when I close the lid or put it into sleep mode manually, it goes to sleep just fine. But when I try to start it up again by opening the lid or pressing the buttons, the wake-up time is really long, like 20-40 seconds.

Is there any solution for this?

I have 2 servers (both 20.04) and one desktop (25.10).

One server has lost the ability to resolve internet hostnames (even after rebooting). It can ping internet ip addresses fine, it just can't resolve the hostnames. It can also resolve .local hostnames thru mDNS. I'm not sure when it happened because I don't check on it as often as I should.

The problem server is only used as a storage server and has samba installed. The working server does similar duty and also has samba installed. I have the shared drives on the problem server mounted on the other 2 machines and didn't even notice there was an issue until I went to do some cleanup and tried installing a tool via apt.

The major difference I see is that resolv.conf on the working machines looks like this:
nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0 trust-ad
search mynetworksettings.com

And on the problem server it looks like this:
nameserver 127.0.0.53

All the machines use systemd-resolved and none of them have any options set in resolved.conf (all the lines in all the files start with #).

additionally dig is returning SERVFAIL on the problem server.

Is there some sort of startup process that sets those options? Could that be failing on the problem server somehow?

Adding a fallback server of 8.8.8.8 allows me to resolve internet domain names. I'd still like to understand why this wasn't working or how it got broken.

Happy to provide additional info on request.

I want to run a command and have it only run on either the P or E cores in my Intel laptops. I know about taskset but it only accepts core numbers and I want to specify ALL of the P-Core CPUs / E-Core CPUs / LPE-Core CPUs without remembering which numbers they are across laptops. I want to automate this into a script that works on all my intel machines.

Let me preface this by saying I am new to Linux, only been learning it for a couple of weeks and just did a full install yesterday. Thanks in advance for all the help!

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Closing the laptop lid leads to keyboard and mousepad not working.

From a 6 month old post of someone having the same issue, I found the suggestion that the current hibernation mode may interfere with the drivers of the keyboard, and that it can be switched.

I used the information cited in this article to run in terminal:

cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
s2idle [deep]

Since it returned deep as enabled I tried running

sudo echo s2idle > /sys/power/mem_sleep

Terminal returned a permission denied error. After some further research II found this blogpost, and ran as advised

echo 's2idle'| sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep

Piping the sudo and tee command seemed to do the trick. I opened the mem_sleep file from the GUI and indeed it displayed

[s2idle] deep

After rebooting, closing and opening the lid of the laptop, hooray! Keyboard was recognized, except! now Ubuntu randomly goes into sleep mode by itself, and of course when it does that the keyboard is no longer recognized. I reverted the changes to the mem_sleep file from a backup, and the pc now behaves as before, so I am left to where I started. The next step I found is this thread which suggests editing Grub, but this is where I start fearing I will break my OS and I'd rather not have to reinstall everything from the beginning. Any help is appreciated!

The TOR applications will not load videos from some web sites. I receive a No video with supported format and MIME type found.

I downloaded from about:support the data sheet from both Linux Mint and Ubuntu. There is a significant difference between the Firefox files. It is my understanding that Ubuntu and Mint change the Firefox App to suit their requirements. I am not a programmer and don't know how these changes effected the TOR App.

Note that the web sites that do not load properly with TOR on Ubuntu do load properly running TOR under Brave. Also used the TOR app on Linux Mint (on this device) and it functions normally. I checked the different web sites and other OS's (on this machine) and various TOR apps. Each one of them works properly on Mint & Ubuntu (except TOR on Ubuntu.)

Bottom line is TOR on the Ubuntu OS does not work properly and it has to be the code that was changed in Firefox. I tried to set up an account on Ubuntu One for days and nothing goes through. Anyone know of another way to contact Ubuntu? According to Ubuntu they were back up and running yesterday.

Thanks for any response. Dennis

I recently installed Ubuntu 26.04 and I noticed that the thumbnails for my comics aren't showing in the Files file manager. I tried installing different thumbnailers, but nothing seems to work. Instead it just shows the default Ubuntu document icons.

I do not have Evince or mcomix installed. I'm using the default document reader that comes with Ubuntu 26.04.

Support for building the libinput function for RISCV64 is welcome. 

Guy's yesterday I downloaded Lubuntu latest version for the first time ever and it was working completely fine and because I was trying other distros I had to deleted it and now when I installed it back there is an issue that there is black bar on the right and the button of the screen and the left corner is not fully visible knowing that my specs are 4gb ram sata ssd and pentium e5500 with the g41 integrated graphics and the screen resolution is 1366*768. How I can fix the problem and if somebody like faced this problem before and how he fixed it I would really appreciate it

Thank you

Description

Everytime I'm switching from Gnome Desktop to i3wm in my laptop, I get the following error when trying to run Firefox:

$ firefox
Error: cannot open display: :0

So basically:

• Login on Gnome Desktop environment
• Open Firefox here
• Do some stuff, close Firefox and log out
• Login using the same credentials but on i3wm
• Error when trying to open Firefox: Error: cannot open display: :0

Observation

• This also happens the other way (i3wm -> Gnome)
• I doesn't affect other app, only Firefox (I tested with Nautilus and Shotwell)
• I already tried to re login; doesn't solve it
• Content of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc:

. /etc/X11/Xsession`

Troubleshooting

Following this answer, I check if X server is running using DISPLAY:

$ echo $DISPLAY
:0

When trying to troubleshoot it, the Xorg display server is also running properly:

$ ps aux | grep "[X]org"
username   85508  2.3  1.0 1487000 77472 tty2    Sl+  17:40   1:06 /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg vt2 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority -nolisten tcp -background none -noreset -keeptty -novtswitch -verbose 3

When reading this forum thread, a user asks if I'm

trying to run firefox an a different user

I don't since I already closed the Firefox instance on the Gnome session.

I'm a noob considering window manager but from my understanding after reading this answer from How does Linux's display work? (and especially this picture), the Gnome Desktop Environment and i3wm are both client to the same running display server so there should be no conflict. There's clearly something that I don't get here.

What's the meaning of the error cannot open display: :0 and how can I solve it ?

Environment

• Firefox version: Mozilla Firefox 150.0.1
• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
• i3: i3 version 4.23-non-git

I installed notepadqq but it fails to run. When running on command line I get this error:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "wayland-egl".

I then added more debugging information as suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/75338714/639119

This is the expanded debug, in hopes it helps someone else figure out what issue. I personally could not fix this even with the debug:

I want to run both Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) and VirtualBox on my Linux PC, however virt-manager uses KVM while VirtualBox uses a different hypervisor. When I try to disable KVM to use VirtualBox, it does not work.

I tried running the following commands:

sudo modprobe -r kvm-intel  
sudo modprobe -r kvm 

...but the KVM modules are still in use and cannot be removed.

My keyboard suddenly started going wonky. It displays the sound key icon that can only be turned off with f2 key. Then I can't copy and paste using ctrl v or type.

I tried changing usb port twice. No effect.

Logging off and rebooting fix temporarily.

Accessibility settings no effect.

I-ve been using a Spanish keyboard with spanish keyboard setting so I changed it to English, temporaily fixed. But it starts again every two minutes and I have to keep changing it from English keyboard back to English.

What is going on and I how do I fix it.

I need help. I'm new to this, but my problem is that when I install Linux Mint on my Lenovo Ideapad laptop, after completing the entire installation, I choose to erase the disk and install Linux Mint,I restarted Linux Mint, removed the USB drive and pressed "enter," but my laptop gets stuck in a constant restart loop, with the message "Restart System" appearing in the upper left corner. I don't know what to do, I've been trying to solve this for hours now, please help :(

Help find a solution to a long term Ubuntu problem on HP devices going erroneously into airplane mode disabling wifi and subsequently stopping any wifi detection. This happens if the device goes into a power save state or the user closes the lid or an inactivity timeout.

Apparently the preferred solution was to use the "sane wifi extension". It's not supported for the latest Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

Unless anyone else has an alternative solution I would avoid Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. Mint does not have this issue

initramfs_alert_uuid

available kernets

I can't do much on busybox / initramfs because listing the partions / blocks returns nothing (I tested the ls /dev/sd* /dev/nvme* /dev/vd* 2>/dev/null I saw from this post

Same ending when starting on kernel 6.17.0-23-generic in recovery mode. Happily, kernel 6.17.0-22-generic still works (this is what I am currently using to write this post)

Can someone help me ?

What I did before getting this error : (I think) I was able to work on kernel 6.17.0-23-generic at least one time. But got some troubles to have my laptop HDMI output working. However, the HDMI on my USBC hub was working. So I decided to change the driver from X.org to NVIDIA driver 595-open. Reboot was needed, and since, I have this error message. Using older kernel 6.17.0-22-generic, I switched back to Xorg, but does not solved my initramfs alert.

I booted to my windows boot, to perform some update (included a lot of DELL bios updates) after getting this error. Still did not magically solved my error.

dkms status returns nothing. Neither dkms status --verbose nor dkms status -k 6.17.0-23-generic etc. dkms --version returns dkms-3.2.1 (remark : being on ubuntu 24.04, I was expecting version 3.0.11)

On newer kernel 6.17.0-23-generic during initramfs

sudo is not found so running only fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p7. It returns :

fsck from util-linux 2.39.3
fsck: error 2 (No such file or directory) while executingfsck.ext2 for /dev/nvme0n1p7

It returns the same after calling exit once on initramfs (and getting the error message on the picture of orginal post) and recalling fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p7.

i did some basic tweak for supressing the Wayland Display, but could not set to x11.

Can someone post how i can disable Wayland and continue on X11 i haev some apps that dont support Wayland.

The default Super + something keyboard shortcuts don't work on my live session and even if I try to change it to some other shortcut key combination even not containing Super key, I can't get it work. No Super key combinations work in Window Manager settings, but some work in Keyboard settings. And Whisker Menu can be started by mere Super key release. Resetting to defaults didn't help.

Suspend/hibernate not working - no usable answers were provided, the only proposed solution does not work.

This is NOT a duplicate of "Computer does not resume from suspend". The computer does not sleep or suspend at all and answers in this thread are not relevant. The question I had asked before had no functional solutions.

This is NOT a duplicate of 24.04 doesn't sleep as that has an "answer" that I cannot downvote or delete as the "answer" doesn't work.

I have a brand new Lenovo ThinkBook 16 G8 IRL running Ubuntu 24.04.3. The computer has 32gb of RAM and 2 physical SSDs, one for a Win11 installation and the other for a fresh Ubuntu installation.

Sleep/Suspend works perfectly in the W11 environment, but not in Ubuntu. I have tested using Ubuntu versions 18 to 24, Mint Cinamonn 22 and Pop!_OS 22 and 24. They have all exhibited the same behavior.

The screen goes black, it looks like the machine tries to sleep, but then wakes up again within 5 seconds. This makes it impossible to use as a true laptop as I have to save all work and shut down the computer whenever I will travel with it - which is quite often.

This is not a problem of the computer not restarting or restoring from suspend, the computer does not enter suspend in the first place.

I agree the suspend command should work out of the box, so I'm not understanding this. I ran the below command and had the same effect - black screen for 3-5 seconds, then back to a login screen.

Swap is on and has plenty of space (32gb of RAM)

I have followed several recommendations and followed several directions.

There are no external devices plugged in

I have attempted to disable USB devices, use Gnome Tweaks to enable suspend, changed USB wake properties, but I had no luck.

Updates: Computer updated to 24.04.4 New dmesg added at the end Kernel updated to 6.17.0-20-generic

UPDATE: I noticed that the file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume does not exist. In fact, the conf.d folder is empty.

Latest update following Daniel T's directions to enter suspend via sudo in terminal - note the computer exhibited the same behavior: the screen went black for a couple of seconds then just turned back on.

Rewrite: I've noticed something REALLY weird with my Ubuntu (now Kubuntu) 24.04 laptop. For some reason, when I play different quickly in succession, or just have the thing on for a longer time (which is what I usually do) the sound goes out. If I open any app at all when I can't hear, I DO get a small click... but nothing else. Sometimes the headphones jack works... and sometimes it doesn't. If I run sound-test when I can hear it... but only if I could hear sound beforehand. I also can get around it by rebooting, but I do have to save everything first and it takes pretty long to do so. At the time of this rewrite, it's been 2 months since this started. Though I'm not sure if this is related to the version because on a previous 25.10 install still had this issue. If this helps, I'm on a Jumper Ezbook S7 Hi, and my BIOS or UEFI (not exactly sure which) was apparently installed in 2024.

Original question: Every single time I open up Ubuntu, the same thing happens. No sound. If I reboot, I get sound for a while then silence. I've installed 24.04 only a day ago and this just keeps happening. Also if I open settings, I get a little bit of sound before more silence. (on a EZ book S7 Hi) Edit: If I put a headphone jack in, even when there's no headphones attached, sound plays.

I have an Ubuntu 24.04.3 machine I use as a media server. I'm trying to get RDP to work consistently from my windows 11 desktop, but I've not had much luck.

Initially i have it set up through settings > system > remote desktop, with both desktop sharing and remote login enabled, with user name and password configured.

On my Windows PC I connect using the username and password to the IP over port 3390. This works at first, but I noticed that if I'm not already logged into a session or if the set screen off/logout time occurs I can no longer RDP - unless I physically go into my Ubuntu OS and log in again.

Is there a setup step I'm missing, or would another solution work better for me?

I have a new installation of Ubuntu 22.04, and switched to LXQt using apt install task-lxqt-desktop. Now my 4K screen shows huge text for the LXQt applications (Qt applications?). I want the text to be similar in pixel size as the other applications like Firefox and the window titles.

What do I need to change to have them rendered similar to the firefox text?

(left == bad, right == good :) )

Changing DPI setting did not have any visible effect; changing QT_SCALE_FACTOR to 2 made it worse, and 0.5 broke my UI :) - note to self: don't go below 1.0).

I'm a newbie to ubuntu and was trying to uninstall dash to dock as I don't need it. I uninstalled it using sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock and the dock still showed up in activities overview. Then I found someone used to sudo apt purge gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock to resolve the issue. I tried, still no luck. And now this big dock shows up in activities overview.

It would also be helpful if somecan can help me get the dock back to normal!

Note: I'm on Ubuntu 20.04

Any Help Would be Appreciated!

I installed 17.10 recently and went to change the graphics from the Nvidia card to the Intel card to save battery. After switching the Prime setting to use the Intel card, I can no longer open X server settings. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but still nothing happens when I go to open it. Is this just an issue with 17.10 that will be fixed in later releases, like the upcoming 18.04?

For example, libelf1 has duplicate package meta data, i.e.

$ apt-cache show libelf1 | grep 'Architecture:'
Architecture: amd64
Architecture: amd64

Why is that?

The drawing mode provided by zoomit is wonderful during a presentation. Is there any software on Ubuntu that provides the same functionality?
