Why my sudoers file doesn't let me access? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560579/why-my-sudoers-file-doesnt-let-me-access

I made this file: /etc/sudoers.d/myfile

myuser ALL=(postgres) ALL

I rebooted the system and then I tried:

su - postgres

I entered MY password but it failed with su: Authentication failure, am I missing something?

EDIT: there are just another sudoers.d file that is the system standard /etc/sudoers.d/90-cloud-init-users with this content root ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL.

Loudness equalization in Ubuntu 24.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560577/loudness-equalization-in-ubuntu-24-04

I'm currently using Ubuntu 24.04. Is there a way to get loudness equalization similar to the feature that's built into Windows where it more or less equalizes audio sources on your PC? I'm finding it a little annoying that the audio can go from being very quiet to very loud so I'm constantly having to adjust the volume depending on what I'm listening to, watching or playing.

How do I revert virt-viewer window manager changes in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560574/how-do-i-revert-virt-viewer-window-manager-changes-in-ubuntu-24-04-lts

I have 2 servers running VMs. One is 22.04.5 and the second I just updated from 22.04.5 to 24.04.3 with do-release-upgrade

Both servers are console login servers, not GUI login.

I start VMs using ssh -X running virt-viewer on the VM servers and they are all configured to use Spice

After upgrading the second server to 24.04.3, the virt-viewer window border that appears on my desktop is quite different, and I'd like find the config settings to change it back to how is was before.

With the 22.04.5 server, it's a simple local window manager border, my desktop Appearance is a slightly color modified Greybird, and it has 4 menus above the VM's window of: File, View, Send key and Help, a thin gray line around the left/right and bottom, then inside that is the VM window e.g. as follows:

Top left 22.04.5 example remote VM window:

Top left 22.04.5 example remote VM window

Top right 22.04.5 example remote VM window:

Top right 22.04.5 example remote VM window

However the VMs run from the updated 24.04.3 server, have changed from the above, since the update from 22.04.5, to having a completely different window manager border. There is no local border at all on the left, right or bottom, and a completely different look at the top. Note that the VM selection window that pops up when I start a remote ssh virt-viewer without a chosen VM, still has the old layout shown above, and the popup authentication window after that also has the old layout shown above. Only the VMs window has changed, e.g. as follows:

Top left 24.04.3 example remote VM window:

Top left 24.04.3 example remote VM window

Top right 24.04.3 example remote VM window:

Top right 24.04.3 example remote VM window

One of the problems with this new manager is that I can't move the VM window until I've authenticated. The issue being I wish to move the VM window to the preferred corner before it resizes to it's full size. Also typing Ctrl+ and Ctrl- no longer work like before passing that into the VM when the mouse isn't on the new VMs local top border. Edit: by this I mean: Before you had to have the mouse on the top border for Ctrl+/- to scale the VM window, but when the mouse was inside the VM window it is applied to windows inside the VM. Now after update, however, Ctrl+/- is ONLY ever applied to the VM window. Though I guess the Ctrl+/- issue could be a code change.

Also note that a while back when I upgraded the servers from 20.04 LSB to 22.04 LSB, there were no such changes.

Issues with No Super block after growing RAID array after reboot https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560564/issues-with-no-super-block-after-growing-raid-array-after-reboot

Running Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS and my RAID is software based with UEFI boot.

I think I have a two-part problem:

  1. My server gets hung up on the post screen when I want to add a new drive to my RAID array, thinking it's a fstab file issue, but nothing is working.
  2. After I finally got the server to recognize my new device and went through all the steps to grow the array, after a recent reboot, the server is getting hung up again (likely the new drive) and my array won't rebuild probably.

History:
I have had a RAID 5 array with 4 drives working fine for the last few years. When the server restarts it hasn't hung up and no issues. I recently needed to grow the array by adding a 5th drive, but had problems from the get go because once I installed the new device the server hung up at post and never acted like it recognized the new device. I finally partitioned on my Windows PC, and finally after an hour of messing around got the Ubuntu server to recognize the new drive and I was able to follow the below steps to grow the array.

Steps I followed:
0. Here is what lsblk outputted before adding the new drive

  1. Adding new disk to array
mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdg
  1. Grow the RAID array (this took about 48 hours)
mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=5
  1. Expand the Filesystem
sudo resize2fs /dev/md0

Once I did this everything seemed to be working fine, and I had my additional space. Not sure if I missed a superblock step or that is done during the grow process.

Fast forward a week and now that I restarted my server, it gets hung up on the post screen and I can't get my md0 RAID reassembled.

adam@tron:~$ sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sdg

mdadm: /dev/sda is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sdb is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sdc is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sdd is busy - skipping
mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdg: No such file or directory
mdadm: /dev/sdg has no superblock - assembly aborted

I'll post my current fstab file below as well, as I'm not sure if I'm not able to properly work on getting /dev/sdg added back into the array until I can get my server to recognize it.

I know there is data on the new device so I'm trying to keep from zeroing the superblock and starting all over.

Lost my printer access during last update to Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS [duplicate] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560542/lost-my-printer-access-during-last-update-to-ubuntu-22-04-5-lts

I lost my printer access during last update. Around the beginning of Dec. 2025, my Ubuntu running on an 11 year old Lenovo H535 64 Bit machine (Type 10117) was updated to version 22.04.5 LTS. In the process, my two printers, a Canon LBP6230DW and a Brother HL-L2360DW, were replaced by a "Generic" printer in the printer list, but it does not work.

During the last week I tried to reload the drivers without any success. I tried Gutenprint, can print a test page, but it can't locate the needed files. I cannot print from either Firefox or LibreOffice.

Is it time to buy a new computer, or would newer printers help? What B/W Laser printer might work?

Thank you. I think problem will be solved by editing the 4 lines in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. I have asked my techie son to advise me how to edit this file, by commenting out the four "unknown" lines with #. Thanks you again. WCarlMayer Commenting out the 4 consecutive lines re access did the trick. I got my printer back. Much relieved. WCM

Pinning Firefox developer to Activities overview https://askubuntu.com/questions/1560529/pinning-firefox-developer-to-activities-overview

I'm trying to install "yfinance" on Ubuntu 24.04. Everyone on the web says to use "pip" to install, but Ubuntu gives a long message saying that's not a good idea, to use the equivalent of "apt install python3-xyz" instead.

That much is ok, but running

can't find anything

AlsaMixer not saving configurations no matter what I do https://askubuntu.com/questions/1542956/alsamixer-not-saving-configurations-no-matter-what-i-do

AlsaMixer has to be adjusted to make sure the audio levels are set to max or else the volume in Ubuntu is extremely low. I've followed the man page directions and other threads online, but I cannot get AlsaMixer to persist the configuration between reboots.

Is this a known issue with AlsaMixer? I've tried saving a configuration file in my home director under the correct path, I've run AlsaMixer commands using sudo to write files out to /etc and I've even used alsactl store. Nothing works.

Is there any utility in kde plasma 5 (Kubuntu) to quickly adjust the resolution to the TV (overscan)? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1334622/is-there-any-utility-in-kde-plasma-5-kubuntu-to-quickly-adjust-the-resolution

I am using an old TV as a monitor, and as is common with hdmi connections to these devices, I am having problems with overscan (the resolution options are reduced and the edges of the screen are cut off, making it impossible to correctly access the desktop and windows).

In Ubuntu there is a solution implemented that is wonderfully simple (Settings > Display > Adjust to TV).

However, in Kubuntu I simply could not find a solution, let alone a simple one...

Does anyone know of a simple method like Ubuntu's to solve overscan problems in Kubuntu?

Is there any simple 3D viewer application? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319549/is-there-any-simple-3d-viewer-application

I'm frequently working with 3D assets and occasionally I need to quickly preview the asset without opening 3D modelling or game engine software. Most commonly I work with fbx, obj, dae or gltf files.

When I had my windows machine I was using MS 3D viewer, but I don't expect that to be on linux. So I'm looking for any simple to use, quick to load software that just draws the imported model and nothing else.

Anybody knows about some?

NVME Samsung SSD 970 EVO (500GB) wrong SMART Power On Hours? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1147619/nvme-samsung-ssd-970-evo-500gb-wrong-smart-power-on-hours

I was taking a look to the SMART report of the system disk of one of the servers when I noticed a lower amount of Power On Hours than I might have expected.

The server is up 24/7 since months (Ubuntu 18.04 amd64 with smartmontools at version 7.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu18.04.1), but doing the math (775/24) it looks like the disk is on since 32 days.

In fact, uptime says the server is being up for 3 months.

#> uptime
 10:33:44 up 100 days, 11:56,  1 user,  load average: 0.35, 0.14, 0.08

Is this counter broken, am I reading it wrong or a third hypothesis?

(Not only for their lower reliability, but another reason why I stopped buying Seagate disks is because I can't read their SMART reports "with the naked eye".)

Gtk-warning cannot open display Windows Ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/1144478/gtk-warning-cannot-open-display-windows-ubuntu

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:

  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. As per this page I installed Xming and vim-gtk and tried gvim instead of gedit and get:

    E233: cannot open display

  4. 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.

Ubuntu 18.04 - No Wifi networks found https://askubuntu.com/questions/1083178/ubuntu-18-04-no-wifi-networks-found

I have Ubuntu 18.04 Dual booting with Windows 10 on my HP-EliteBook-745-G2, and for some reason, I cannot seem to find WiFi networks through my WiFi adapter, but Ethernet works (however, Ethernet stops working properly if I shut my screen down, and go back into my laptop, forcing me to restart my laptop to use Ethernet).

What I have done that didn't work:

  • Uninstalled Kernels and reinstalled.

  • Tried using rtlwifi.new as a fix.

  • Tried connecting through a hidden network, with different networks in different places.

  • Reinstalled Ubuntu.

  • sudo service network-manager restart

So I thought I would create a new post to get a different perspective here.

Side note: WiFi works perfectly on the Windows side of things, these problems persist only on my Ubuntu boot.

The output of lshw -C network gives:

DNS Resolution fails with UFW & OpenVPN (ProtonVPN Server) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1054348/dns-resolution-fails-with-ufw-openvpn-protonvpn-server

I have an issue I've been trying to solve for a few days now - I'm working on a relatively fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04, I enabled UFW and configured it with the following rules.

sudo ufw status verbose

This UFW config seems to work fine, when using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 as my DNS ping to the DNS and to domains (usually google.com) both are successful.

After I finished setting up UFW I moved onto installing OpenVPN to connect to ProtonVPN servers - this is when my DNS problem begun.

When the VPN is connected with UFW DISABLED a ping to google.com will resolve and work.

But when the VPN is connected and UFW is ENABLED a ping to google will NOT resolve.

I've tried using 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 as my DNS and the problem persists with both.

Does anybody have any ideas on what may be going wrong? I beleive the issue lies within my UFW config but I can't see where.

Ubuntu does not recognize Killer wireless 1535 and ethernet e2400 in Alienware 2015 https://askubuntu.com/questions/716120/ubuntu-does-not-recognize-killer-wireless-1535-and-ethernet-e2400-in-alienware-2

I recently bought an Alienware 2015 which has a 1535 Killer wireless. When I installed Ubuntu 14.04 (Kernel 3.19) it did not recognize it. I did some search on the internet and found some methods to fix this issue on 1525 version of Killer wireless but I could not find any way to fix it for 1535. I tried the method in http://www.killernetworking.com/support/knowledge-base/17-linux/20-killer-wireless-ac-in-linux-ubuntu-debian but it did not work. This is the output of lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A2 :

I would really appreciate if someone can help me on this.

How to make CTRL+F4 to close the current tab in Firefox? https://askubuntu.com/questions/573226/how-to-make-ctrlf4-to-close-the-current-tab-in-firefox

On Ubuntu Studio 14.10, the CTRL+F4 seems to work as a shortcut for opening the 4th desktop (tested using a live DVD, without any customizations). However, I only need two desktops, so I reduced the number of desktops available and now CTRL+F4 is not doing anything.

In other distros, this shortcut is used to close the current tab in Firefox, and I would like to achieve that behavior on Ubuntu Studio too.

How can I do that?

No option to choose between Ubuntu or Windows at startup; tried many suggestions already https://askubuntu.com/questions/451484/no-option-to-choose-between-ubuntu-or-windows-at-startup-tried-many-suggestions

Yesterday I used a live cd to install Ubuntu 14.04 on a computer already loaded with Windows 8. The Ubuntu install did NOT recognize any operating system on the computer, so I chose Something else and ended up with several partitions. (If it matters, I have four Windows partitions (recovery, boot, the main one with all my files, and some other one that's tiny so I didn't worry about it), plus a main Ubuntu one / and swap.)

After installing Ubuntu and restarting, there has been no option to choose between Ubuntu and Windows at startup; it simply starts up as Windows. Ubuntu is now installed but I have no way to use it!

What I've tried:

  1. I tried using the Advanced System Settings on Windows to enable the boot selection, but Windows 8 didn't recognize any other operating systems either.
  2. I held down shift during startup to try and get the grub screen, but no luck. (After a full Windows 8 shutdown, not the fastboot crap.) Also, f8, no luck.
  3. Other guides said to get boot-repair. I downloaded the image file, burned it to a cd, and tried to boot from it, but nothing happened; Windows booted normally. I booted from the live cd, opened the terminal, and (as instructed by this guide on Ubuntu Forums)

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
    

    Everything goes fine until the very end, when the last two lines back read:

    W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/yannubuntu/boot-repair/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404 Not Found
    E: Some index files failed to download.  They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
    

    That 404 HTTP error was talked about here: Can't find boot-repair package for the newest version of Ubuntu, so using that advice I did:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
    sudo sh -c "sed -i 's/trusty/saucy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair-trusty.list"
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
    

    Boot repair worked (woohoo!) and it ran for a few seconds before a pop-up that says

    EFI detected. Please check the options.

    I selected to fix most frequent problems. It told me to disable SecureBoot in BIOS.

    It did some thinking, then told me to put this into a new terminal:

    sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sdb5" dpkg --configure -a
    sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sdb5" apt-get install -fy
    sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sdb5" apt-get purge-y --force-yes grub* shim-signed linux-signed*
    

    I was prompted to go forward, and it said to copy-paste the following into the terminal:

    sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sdb5" apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-efi-amd64-signed shim-signed linux-signed-generic
    

    After going forward, it said an error occurred during the repair, and to write down this URL, and to email boot.repair@gmail.com if I still have boot problems. It also reminded me to disable SecureBoot in BIOS.

    I disabled SecureBoot, but nothing had changed. Windows still booted, just like before.

  4. I booted from the live cd again and opened my grub file.

    sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
    

    The grub file came up, I added a # in front of GRUB_HIDDEN-TIMEOUT=0, saved, and in the terminal wrote:

    sudo update-grub
    

    This comes backs:

    /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of '/cow'.
    

And that's as far as I've gotten. No luck whatsoever. Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here?

Boot Repair - 'Close all package managers...' Dual Boot Installation https://askubuntu.com/questions/392089/boot-repair-close-all-package-managers-dual-boot-installation

After almost a week, I've just about managed to install Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS alongside Windows 8 on a Dell XPS 14 Ultrabook.

I have created a partition in Windows to store Ubuntu, rebooted from Windows Advanced Start Up options menu to an EFI USB containing Ubuntu. I've installed Ubuntu on my chosen partition with 4GB swap area also set aside.

During the install, I get this error message:

The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without GRUB boot loader, the installed system will no boot.

After some searching, I read that I should use Boot-Repair, which I've done following the instructions here.

However, after running Boot-Repair and choosing the auto diagnose and repair option, I get a message to,

Please close all your package managers (Software Center, Update Manager, Synaptic, ...) Then try again.

Can someone please help me with what I need to do next as it's driving me mad?

Ubuntu is installed (if i try to reinstall on the same partition, my previous installation is there), it just seems I need to fix this problem.

Please help - Windows 8 is awful but I'm getting very tired of the endless pushing a big rock up a steep hill that installing Ubuntu is.

How can I export books from Ubuntu to Amazon Kindle? https://askubuntu.com/questions/274414/how-can-i-export-books-from-ubuntu-to-amazon-kindle

I have tried the Amazon Kindle HD 7", but could not integrate it at all with my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS OS.

I have tried the USB cable but it didn't show up on the screen and I have tried to connect it via Bluetooth, but it also didn't work.

I have Calibre installed on my Ubuntu, but could not integrate it/export books to Kindle. I have also tried to use Ubuntu One, but Amazon has its own cloud system. Does anyone of you have any solution for these problems?

Thanks very much!
