I installed Ububtu 24.04 on a Mac with Intel chips. But when the first screen appeared where I would select the language, the screen freezed, no movement of arrow keys or mouse was possible
I was trying to use openbox login in session at startup (the light bluescreen ofLubuntu 22.04 where I can choice Lubuntu or lxqt or OpenBox (I am specking about this openbox of start up I mean session login, and not about window manager of Lubuntu session).
I use Lubuntu 22.04 with2 GB RAM so I was thinking that open box would be an interesting alternative..
Lubuntu has openbox, I don't need to download openbox
I was trying because I failed to use openbox: the terminal from menu popup do nothing. and the pop up menu only work gnome charmap and tint2
I installed (I saw vids on yout...) obmenu tint2 and terminals: Terminator, xterm an lxterminal from my distro (now 5 was uninstalled) because never I could use terminal ...
What is the terminal that openbox use?
Thank you and Regards!
After installing Ubuntu my laptop keyboard is not working some button are not working and my touch pad is not working too and my laptop is Dell Ubuntu window 10 server 25.10
I'm not sure what happened, but I am running 4 Dell Optiplex machines and they all have the same problems going back several weeks. General slowness, choppyness, high CPU, slow load times on web pages and so on. The telltale sign is choppy mouse that freezes momentarily when a tooltip pops over the GUI or when the machine is processing.
All machines are from the Dell Optiplex series. They all have integrated, Intel video cards. They're all running 24.04. I've tried rolling back the kernel, switching from Wayland to Xorg, and disabling Gnome extensions. I have not read of others having this specific problem but it can't be a coincidence if it happened to all my machines at the same time. Any ideas how to fix this?
I'm wondering if Ubuntu 22.04.* can support AMD embedded P132 processor and VCN(Video Codec) or not. If yes, From which version can support P132 and VCN?
Thank you
Stephen
I am trying to fix a problem executing Kate that somehow got installed through SNAP a while ago.
In trying to start it today but I got an error message:
/snap/kate/218/usr/bin/kate: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It was working fine today. I did get a system update. I tried to reinstall that libxx but it did not fix the problem.
So I tried to remove kate and install it again but it installed a hudge amount of files and it says it still is not there? Check attached text file for the actual install attempt.
What happened?
What got installed instead?
How do I remove it?
Had to reduce text because it was too big and I cannot attach a text file.
sudo apt install kate

Can anyone recommend some good disk data recovery software for Linux? Everything google comes up with seems to be for Mac and Windows and runs on Mac or Windows. I have 5 different flavors of Linux but no Mac or Windows. Any suggestions would be welcome
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. In Settings, the Printers dialog has recently started to challenge me with a login to unlock it every time I touch it. Same for its Additional Printer Settings. I have not found where to turn it off.
Is it in Gnome? Cups? PolicyKit?

I am using Ubuntu Studio 24.04.4.
Is it possible to assign a different IP for each user logging in into my laptop ?!
For instance, when userA logs in, the IP of my laptop would be 192.168.178.10
and when userB logs in, the IP of my laptop would be 192.168.178.20
That would be very handy since I am using the "filter" function of my FritzBox in order to filter websites accessed by my laptop...
I have an ASUS Vivobook 18 M1807HA with an AMD Radeon 780M integrated GPU running Ubuntu 24.04 (kernel 6.17.0-20-generic).
When running on battery power only, my laptop generates constant USB device connection/disconnection sounds (the "ding-dong" notification) every 60-90 seconds. The desktop icons sometimes refresh/update when this happens.
This does NOT happen when the AC adapter is plugged in.
I've investigated extensively and found that:
sudo udevadm monitor shows constant drm/card1 change events:KERNEL [1192.228486] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:03:00.0/drm/card1 (drm)

UDEV [1231.370399] change/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:03:00.0/drm/card1 (drm)
amdgpu.runpm=0 in GRUB does not resolve the issuepower_dpm_force_performance_level remains unchanged during eventsdmesgDisabling system event sounds stops the audible notification:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds false
However, the underlying issue (constant drm change events) persists.
I've already reported this as a bug to the AMD DRM developers, but I'm curious if others in the Ubuntu community have encountered this issue.
System info:
On starting the Ubuntu 24.04 installation an almost unreadable message appears on the screen saying:
Firmware file b43/ucode30_mimi.fw not found.
You must go to https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/users/drivers/b43/developers.html#list-of-firmware
and download the correct firmware for this driver version.
Please carefully read all instructions on this website.
There is a table on the mentioned page. In the column version of wl. wl I guess wireless are 12 numbers with links listed. They are links to download the driver I guess, however I don't have any information about the meaning of those numbers! On the following page, some Acer notebooks are mentioned, less Acer Aspire 5750!
In short I don't have a driver for the Broadcom wireless chip!
At the "repair café" where the customer brought the laptop, I could install Ubuntu 24.04.02 without wireless, hence without internet of course! I took the laptop home and tried an completely new installation being connected to the internet by a LAN cable. This was worse! The installation failed completely telling me in the error message: "We are not sure what kind of error happened, try to install again!" Which of course doesn't work and the partially installed system is not bootable at all. Two kinds of sending the error report are provided. One "Send problem" which doesn't work, and a second one by: sudo ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop-boostrap, which doesn't work either.
Can someone tell me where to get this damned Broadcom driver, the correct one for the chip in this Aspire 5750 Notebook and I need to know whether I could place the driver on the USB stick which I used to do the Ubuntu installation?
None of the comments were in any form helpful. I mentioned it clearly the problem is the Broadcom wireless chip for which I'm not able to find a working driver. Of course the behaviour of the Ubuntu installation program is not helpful at all. Knowing, not having a valid driver for the wireless, I connected the LAN-cable, to install this way. Big Error! Choosing Internet available, true by LAN-cable, the Installation program crashed without any valid message, and in a very ugly none irrecuperable way! Very bad bug! On selection no Internet for the moment, the installation was possible, and Oh wonder, On connecting the LAN-cable even the Internet was available! And No, wireless and Bluetooth still doesn't work. But for this problem I put a new question. But first, I'll install windows 10 again, just to verify if this ugly Broadcom chip is working as it should! Question closed!
I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS server (plus Plesk Obsidian 18.0.77 Update #1)
Despite Plesk updates being up to date, and Ubuntu updates being up to date (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade), my server is running an end-of-life unsupported version of PHP for CLI applications, and I don't see any way to fix that.
I know one option is to upgrade my whole server to 24.04 LTS, but I hoped the LTS appelation for 22.04 would mean that I don't need to do that.
Because of the application that I use I want to update the PHP 8.1.2 cli that is symlinked to /usr/bin/php, instead of specifying 8.4 in the path (e.g. /usr/bin/php84). That is because I would have to edit the shebang line not only in the wrapper script which calls subscripts, but also each of the subscripts, and these changes would need to be redone each time I update the application...
Is this possible?

The HP x2 Elite gen 8 laptop was designed for Windows, and Bang & Olufsen worked on improving the sound for it. Ubuntu 25.10 is installed. Apparently they made some changes to the design (maybe the chip; by the way, some Realtek worked with Windows 11). Currently the sound device only works in mono mode.
Audio by Bang & Olufsen. 2 Premium stereo speakers (74dB). Realtek ALC3292 Audio codec and 2 NXP TFA9894 discrete amplifiers. 3 Integrated microphones including one world-facing. I'd like to fix this if possible.
After updating the Firefox snap to 149, it seems to hang on startup. It'll just open a blank window and then stop. The only way I've managed to fix it is starting it in safe mode and disabling hardware acceleration. After that, it'll start fine, albeit with degraded performance.
Since it's probably relevant, my GPU is a Nvidia 1080Ti with driver 580.126.09.
Guessing how to get it simply and quickly, I did write down a little BASH batch program. To use it, simply copy the code below and paste it in your text editor, save it in a file named at your taste in you ~/bin folder, and don't forget to make it executable.
It firstly collects info from several commands (uname, lsblk, etc...) output, then it organizes them to be shown in the terminal window.
It offers also to get those information in a text file, for further use, if launched from terminal window be aware that it does not behave the same as launched from ALT+F2 desktop dialog.
Note that for XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP env variable and xfce4-about, you probably need to substitute it with a command of your own desktop environment.
I hope this will be helpful for eveyone.
On my Ubuntu 20.04 machine, when I run:
mkdir -p /home/parent/{child1,child2}
These folders get created in /home.
parentparent/child1parent/child2However, when I try to run this in a python script using
bashCommand = "mkdir -p /home/parent/{child1,child2}"
# print(bashCommand)
subprocess.run(bashCommand.split(), capture_output=True)
I end up having these folders in my /home directory instead.
parentparent/{child1,child2}How can I fix this?
I downloaded Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and put it on a USB flash drive. Rebooted the MacBook into recovery mode (Command+R) and enabled booting of external media and unsigned operating systems. Rebooted again holding Option and selected to boot from my USB drive ("EFI Boot" in the boot menu).
The Ubuntu boot menu (GNU GRUB version 2.02) shows up, but no matter what I choose in the menu, it just goes into a kernel panic with a lot of ACPI related errors, including this one:

System information:
As a classroom for learning Unix/Linux, I'm using Microsoft's Ubuntu App in Windows 10. I want to run:
gedit somefile.txt
But I get the following:
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(gedit:27829): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
None of the following solutions have worked:
As per this page I tried gksu gedit and just get the final line of the above error, and I tried sudo nano and can edit the file (but isn't really a solution as I want to use gedit).
As per @WinEunuuchs2Unix's solution I downloaded VcXsrv, added export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 to ~/.bashrc, installed ubuntu-desktop and yad and still get my original error when trying to open gedit.
As per this page I installed Xming and vim-gtk and tried gvim instead of gedit and get:
E233: cannot open display
I followed this PC world tutorial probem-free up until dbus-launch --exit-with-session ~/.xsession, which gives me:
/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0.0 xrdb: Connection refused xrdb: Can't open display ':0.0' xfce4-session: Cannot open display: . Type 'xfce4-session --help' for usage.
And now I don't know what else to try, so I'd love some help! I also hope this is a good question and apologize if I'm making a typical newbie error.
I installed Ubuntu 18.10 on my HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3 and can't get all fn-combinations to work.
What works: Volume up/down, Mute, Airplane mode What not works: Brightness up/down, Microphone mute
The often stated kernel parameters as listed here aren't resolving this issue.
Trying the command showkey -k revealed some strange behaviour: For all combinations not working a press and release with the same keycode (465) is generated. The other combinations result in different codes.
When running xev or acpi_listen no event is listed for the malfunctioning combinations.
Would be great if there is a way to get any reaction for this key combinations.
It seems that I can't install Ubuntu on my old Toshiba Satellite C650. Not only I can't install Ubuntu, I can't install any Linux-based OS. I already tried Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 18.10 and the latest version of Linux Mint, and it's always the same error. I'm not trying to dual boot. I'm just trying to do a clean Ubuntu installation. Another thing worth mentioning is that whatever option I'm trying, it doesn't work.
The error message I receive no matter what Linux-based OS I'm trying to install:

What is the best practices to leave this kind of file? I dont want to leave it on /Downloads folder
I'm running Kubuntu 18.04 (minimal install). I have my /home directory on a different (bigger) partition. I would like to install Libreoffice in a custom directory in /home. I followed this guide and have all the files in
~/kubuntu_apps/libreoffice6.0
and am able to launch libreoffice from the command line. However, it doesn't show up on the menu search and I'm not able to launch office files from the file manager. This is a bit of a hassle especially for my spouse.
How can fix this?
I have been using Rhythmbox on Ubuntu 14.04 to play music from my iPhone for a while now. Sometimes I get the annoying "initialize your iPhone" dialog box, but I just cancel it, unmount and reconnect my phone, and the problem is solved.
Recently, I updated to iOS 10, and mounting the iPhone stopped working. I somehow fixed this by cloning libplist, libimobiledevice, libusbmuxd, usbmuxd, and ifuse [note: ifuse doesn't seem necessary if you use gvfs], checking out the master branch in each repo, and installing via
./autogen.sh
make
sudo checkinstall
so that the package versions and dependencies could be managed via dpkg.
For libimobiledevice I also did ./autogen.sh --disable-openssl so that I'd use GnuTLS instead.
Because I had originally installed most of these packages via apt-get, I installed libplist as the dpkg package libplist1, libimobiledevice as libimobiledevice4, and libusbmuxd as libusbmuxd2. I also did echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libimobiledevice-libs.conf and some extra symlinking when programs complained that /usr/lib/libimobiledevice.so.4 and such were missing.
ifuse will now successfully mount the iPhone, but my actual goal is to get gvfs to detect and mount the phone so that it'll work with Rhythmbox. I may have needed to do additional symlinking to even get the gvfs-related programs to run, I forget.
If I naively try to plug in my phone at this point, I (with high probability) get the error message Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus). I have to run /usr/lib/gvfs-gvfs-afc-volume-monitor 3+ times until I get lucky enough for the phone to mount; this seems very wrong.
Running sudo usbmuxd -f -v spams me with messages like
New client on fd 19
Client 19 connection closed
Disconnecting client fd 19
over and over, plus an instance of Receive from client fd 19 failed: Connection reset by peer and Connection reset by device 4 (3->62078). Basically, I have no idea why mounting only works intermittently. Things seem to work more often when I run usbmuxd in the foreground with -f, but that may just be confirmation bias.
When I finally do get the phone to mount, Rhythmbox will start and display the "initialize your iPhone" dialog, with two problems: (1) it hangs for a long time while loading this dialog (trying to connect with phone, possibly, or maybe Rhythmbox is just ultra slow?) and (2) if I hit "cancel," I can no longer see the phone mounted on Rhythmbox. Before, after cancelling once, I could unmount and reconnect my phone and the dialog would no longer pop up, but this method is far less reliable because I can't reliably mount my phone! So after all this...
gvfs to reliably mount my phone on the first try?gvfs/rhythmbox and start using ifuse+something else?I was trying to fresh install Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell 3521. Previously I was using 15.04. The system was getting slow ,so I wanted to install fresh. I deleted the /, /boot, /swap and recreated them. There are still two other drives (ext2).
While installing I did select encrypt /home and continue in UEFI mode. The process was terminated after
Now I am unable to boot. I tried both Install Ubuntu and Try without installing using a USB, but it is showing error kernel panic.

I want good scientific calculator which can calculate the roots of any quadratic equation just by entering the quadratic equation
first of all is any app like those there in ubuntu software centre??
I have a quick question maybe someone could help me with.
I downloaded a few apps and ISO's from source forge today and they seemed to have disappeared. They weren't in the default down load folder or in the Firefox download cache.
So anyway, I started clicking around in my files trying to locate them and I came across a file string that I hadn't seen before. /var/spool/postfix/etc/ssl/certs. And in it, I found all these ssl CA and Root CA certificates (maybe 200 to 300 of them). I can open them and see pub. key.
Algorithm, Signature (huge table of numbers) and a bunch of other info that seems sensitive. I know very little about encryption and secure sockets, so I was wondering if this is a normal place to find such items.
By the way I don’t use local mail service on the machine. So I don't Know why anything would be in there. Thank You. B
I am forced to install Ubuntu in order to install https://github.com/znort987/blockparser
However, when running make I am encountering this:
lnk -- parser

I did one or two laps around the internet and the typical suggestion is to apt-get install libssl-dev, but I have already done this:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libssl-dev is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
I am running 12.04.3 (precise).
When I try to compile it with g++, as suggested (for example) by https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5329638/usr-bin-ld-cannot-find I get other errors:
parser.cpp:2:18: fatal error: util.h: No such file or directory
(util.h is there in the folder)
So I'm hoping that the make error is easier to solve than the compile errors.
Thank you guys for your help so far (was having issues with the GRUB loader last night; you guys did help with that), but I could use some more help. I am still new to Ubuntu I guess.
I would like to find a utility that can find the hidden URL to eg this streaming radio
so I can use that in mocp (music on console player). URLsnooper is there for windows, but I can't find an alternative for Linux.
