Ubuntu freezes (and other issues) on HP Pavillion x30 Convertible https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567067/ubuntu-freezes-and-other-issues-on-hp-pavillion-x30-convertible

I'm trying to (semi-)daily drive Ubuntu on HP Pavillion x360 Convertible. Every few days I get a functional freeze to which only REISUB is a solution. Once there also was a "dbus.service: systemd-oomd killed 44 process(es) in this unit" and back to login screen. There are minor issues, too. Please help me diagnose. I'm using info at https://last9.io/blog/ubuntu-crash-logs/ to look for logs.

I have around 20 years of intermittent experience with Linux, rather bumpy.

It's a dual-boot with Windows 10, the HDD was upgraded to SSD.

issues with debuginfod.ubuntu.com https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567065/issues-with-debuginfod-ubuntu-com

I've been having issues with Ubuntu gdb for a bit more than a week, and I have no idea who else to contact. It hangs on debuginfo fetching, because the server doesn't respond. I've tried pinging debuginfod.ubuntu.com, and end up with 100% packet loss. I can unset DEBUGINFOD, and then it works. There's no trace of that server on the Canonical status page, do you know who I could contact?

Thanks,

Booting from HD https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567064/booting-from-hd

I'm trying to install Linux mint onto my old HP touch smart 520,pc. Ivydone the drive flashing stuff but the computer won't boot from its own HD. I'm assuming it's something to do with the bios settings? Can someone help?

Ubuntu wird von 25.10 auf version 26.04 LTS aktualisiert; dann Fehlermeldung: EFI Systempartition (ESP) nicht verwendbar https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567063/ubuntu-wird-von-25-10-auf-version-26-04-lts-aktualisiert-dann-fehlermeldung-ef

ich kann leider nicht aktualisieren. Die Erst-Installation erfolgte ohne die UEFI Berücksichtigung soweit ich mich erinnere. Boot/efi ist aber eingehängt...Das Kontextmenü erlaubt das Aushängen...Kann jemand helfen? Ich möchte eine Neuinstallation vermeiden...Siehe Screenshot. Ich bin normaler Anwender...Danke schonmal.

Ubuntu installaton fails with cannot run grub-install on Samsung NP930QDB-KD3US https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567058/ubuntu-installaton-fails-with-cannot-run-grub-install-on-samsung-np930qdb-kd3us

Trying to install Ubuntu on Samsung NP930QDB-KD3US, the installation copies files and so forth normally until a fatal error that grub-install fails.

There is no dual-boot, and Windows was removed.

I tried this with Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04. I tried with full-disk encryption and without it. I tried numerous setting changes in CMOS/BIOS, including making sure Secure Boot was disabled.

Under 24.04, I tried formatting the internal volume /dev/nvme0n with a 256MB EFI partition as /dev/nvme0n1, a 2GB /boot as /dev/nvme0n2, and a 512GB / as /dev/nvme0n3. Under 26.04, the installer automatically assigned EFI to /dev/nvme0n2 when creating /boot as /dev/nvme0n1, but the configuration was otherwise the same.

I tried both installing GRUB to /dev/nvme01n and to the EFI partition.

I tried manually overwriting the first gigabyte of the volume

dd of=/dev/nvme01n if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1024

What totally mystifies me is that MX Linux (MX-25.1_Xfce_ahs_x64) installs and works with no trouble; it is based on Debian 13.3 (trixie). Whatever the problem is must be specific to Ubuntu.

wgetrc user/pass for a specific hostname? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567057/wgetrc-user-pass-for-a-specific-hostname

tl;dr how do I specify a user and password within a wget .wgetrc file for a specific website?

I want to create a ~/.wgetrc file for wget that stores a user and password, e.g.

user=user1
password=s3cr3tPass

But this username and password is only for website www.website.com. How can I modify the ~/.wgetrc so that this authentication data is only used when communicating with URLs with hostname www.website.com?

In my case, I cannot use the password on the command-line, so the pass value must be stored in some file which is loaded by wget.

Trouble upgrading from 22.04 to 24.04 to get to 26.04 [duplicate] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567055/trouble-upgrading-from-22-04-to-24-04-to-get-to-26-04

I am trying to upgrade 22.04 lts to 26.04 lts. I understand I must upgrade to 24.04 first and then upgrade to 26.04. I have tried to do so, but the upgrade process fails. (I have a screen shot of the terminal window showing the errors.)

Note: I am a ham radio operator and want to upgrade WSJT-X to version 3.0.0. It apparently will not install on Ubuntu 22.04.

Issue running a Minecraft server on my newly installed ubuntu laptop: can connect but loose connection soon after https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567054/issue-running-a-minecraft-server-on-my-newly-installed-ubuntu-laptop-can-connec

I've installed an ubuntu 26.04 on a laptop of mine to use it as a Minecraft server, I've retrived a map we were playing with friend to host it by myself on this laptop.

It is a modded Minecraft, the modpack name is Prominence 2.

I have succesfully installed the server, I run it, and I can join the world from my other laptop, but after around 1 minute I am loosing connection and disconnect from the server.

On the server log, just before disconecting there is an error saying:

[Netty Epoll Server IO #3/ERROR]: Exception occurred in netty pipeline

My friends have the same issue, and I tried to install and run a vanilla server and the issue is not present, so I assume my issue come from my Ubuntu installation but I cannot tell..

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?

Here are the server's and client's logs:

Thank you for your time and have a great day!

How to install lutebot on ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567049/how-to-install-lutebot-on-ubuntu

How can i clear space from 9.4 GB /var/tmp older which is now 100% https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567045/how-can-i-clear-space-from-9-4-gb-var-tmp-older-which-is-now-100

I was trying to download one SAP application but i got the error message that I have no space left in /var/tmp. After some search, I found that the /var/tmp/opt directory is the cause of this.

One file in particular is kern.error:

  • kern.error inside /var/tmp/opt = 4.9 GB

  • cache = 741 MB

  • lib = 2.0 GB

  • log = 1.4 GB

Can I delete those files inside /var/tmp directory or is it not allowed?

Creating an Ubuntu live CD with live-build (How do the Ubuntu developers create the official live CDs?) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567044/creating-an-ubuntu-live-cd-with-live-build-how-do-the-ubuntu-developers-create

I have a question concerning the creation of a customized live CD. I have already found and followed the advice from the 'creating a custom live CD from scratch' page, but that was years ago and I found it to be quite a hassle.

I switched to Debian a while back after a system drive crash because I wanted to try the root distro of Ubuntu and the likes. I found its live-build package a very handy, simple and powerful tool to create customized Debian live CDs.

I use the live-build tool to create a clone (package-wise, with some custom config files added) of my current running system so I can reinstall it and have everything I use ready without the hassle of remembering and reinstalling everything after I install a new computer (or when I mess up my current install, which almost never happens anymore due to 20 years of Linux experience).

I discovered Ubuntu also has the live-build package and I found an entry on an Ubuntu dev website mentioning that they were switching from their in-house script to live-build (This was back in 2011).

I installed Lubuntu in a VM and installed live-build, but no matter how I configure the auto/config script, the process keeps quitting on me due to errors. lb config runs fine, but live-build build keeps spitting out errors.

The first error is due to start-stop-daemon not being installed. After installing this manually in the chroot (it's part of the dpkg package, but does not get auto-installed during bootstrap / creation of the base system chroot for whatever reason I cannot seem to discover) I encountered the second error.

The second error is:

'cp: cannot stat 'chroot/boot/.bin': No such file or directory'

I have no idea what the live-build script is even attempting to do here, besides that is happens right after it starts installing memtest.

Now I am wondering: am I doing it wrong? Did I misconfigure something? Or is the live-build script in Ubuntu broken, as someone on another webpage said? (I cannot find that source at the moment, so there's no link, sorry).

How are the Ubuntu devs building their live CDs nowadays? Do they still use live-build? What configuration do they use, and where can I find that configuration?

Ubuntu 26.04: Pipewire pw-play cannot play sound as root from within a script https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567035/ubuntu-26-04-pipewire-pw-play-cannot-play-sound-as-root-from-within-a-script

What's working thanks to @daniel-t:

#!/bin/bash

sudo XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$(id -u admn)" pw-play -p /usr/share/sounds/Yaru/stereo/desktop-login.oga

# or

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 pw-play -p /usr/share/sounds/Yaru/stereo/desktop-login.oga

exit;

OS: Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute

Desktop: MATE Desktop Environment 1.28.2

Installation: Fresh (Not upgraded from any previous version). Installed Ubuntu Server 26.04 and then installed MATE Desktop on it.

Note: Sound is working just fine. I can play any audio or video file through VLC just fine.

I can even play sound from a terminal with the following command just fine:

pw-play -p /usr/share/sounds/Yaru/stereo/desktop-login.oga

And still, I get this error:

error: pw_context_connect() failed: Host is down

When the same command is run from a script with sudo:

#!/bin/bash

sudo -u $USER pw-play -p /usr/share/sounds/Yaru/stereo/desktop-login.oga;

# or

pw-play -p /usr/share/sounds/Yaru/stereo/desktop-login.oga;

# or

sudo -u admn XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$(id -u admn)"  pw-play -p /usr/share/sounds/Yaru/stereo/desktop-login.oga;


exit;
sudo /home/admn/Downloads/test.sh

Output:
error: pw_context_connect() failed: Host is down

Pipewire and related command status:

Kernel panic when downloading files https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567034/kernel-panic-when-downloading-files

image Video After downloading files (archives, images, deb packages), kernel panic appears in the web browser and anywhere on the disk. Tell me how to fix it. Everything works fine, but because of this it is completely impossible for me to use my Ubuntu 26.04.

Specs:

  • Ubuntu 26.04

  • Intel 3556U

  • 8GB RAM

  • 480GB SATA SSD ROM

Upgrade to 26.04, desktop shortcut is not launchable, there is a red cross and no allow launching option https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567027/upgrade-to-26-04-desktop-shortcut-is-not-launchable-there-is-a-red-cross-and-n

Applications could be launched in 25.10 from the desktop. After upgrading to 26.04 all the desktop shortcuts have a red cross and at right-click there isn't any allow launch option anymore. The files do exist and were unmodified. Do you have any suggestion for the root cause of it or how to fix it? Changing files chmod to +x does not fix it, but all files have an x bit set.

The desktop files are in ~/Desktop and when opening the item from the desktop with another application (i.e Gedit) the file can be edited.

I downloaded and installed the new Ubuntu, onto a newer computer. Installed Steam, and was met with the message:

"32-bit NVIDIA driver files were not found on your host system. It's best you install them for the best experience."

It then gives some terminal commands.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-595:i386

Enter the commands in that order and it gives me this response:

I can't move files into Thunar or Nautilus https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567016/i-cant-move-files-into-thunar-or-nautilus

I'm really new to command line, and I'm trying to move a folder full of FASTQ files into my directory. I haven't had any luck in the terminal, so I tried moving files using GUIs (nautilus and thunar). However, I can't move any files and I've been receiving these errors:

(thunar:865): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 15:17:18.061: GFileInfo created without standard::size

(thunar:865): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 15:17:18.061: file ../../../gio/gfileinfo.c: line 1845 (g_file_info_get_size): should not be reached

Any ideas on how to fix this or if I'm missing something?

Edit:

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS I got both errors from Thunar and Nautilus I will try flatpak and the suggested lines of code.

Ubuntu 24.04 keeps remounting root filesystem as read-only on HP ENVY 750-500; SSD SMART looks good but I suspect SATA/firmware issues https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567007/ubuntu-24-04-keeps-remounting-root-filesystem-as-read-only-on-hp-envy-750-500-s

I’m trying to diagnose a persistent read-only filesystem problem on an HP desktop and would appreciate ideas on what to test next.

System details:

  • SO: Dual boot with ubuntu 18.04 and windows 10 on a HDD
  • Machine: HP ENVY 750-500 Desktop PC series
  • Motherboard: HP board ID 2B36
  • BIOS version: 80.11
  • BIOS date: 2015-04-01
  • SATA controller: Intel 9 Series Chipset Family SATA Controller [AHCI Mode]
  • Kernel driver: ahci
  • Storage setup: SATA SSD connected internally

The SSD I tested is:

  • Model: Crucial CT500BX500SSD1
  • Firmware: M6CR072
  • Capacity: 500 GB
  • Interface: SATA III 6.0 Gb/s

Problem

After installing Ubuntu 24.04 on the SSD, the system would intermittently remount the root filesystem as read-only. The symptoms included:

  • sudo touch /tmp/testfile failing with Read-only file system
  • sudo apt update failing because it could not write to /tmp, /var/cache/apt, or /var/crash
  • The system sometimes booting, but later behaving as if the root filesystem had become read-only

What I tested I tested the SSD and several different SATA cables:

  • one brand-new SATA data cable
  • two other data cables already in use with HDDs
  • different SATA power cables
  • disconnecting a HDD and reusing its SATA cables

Filesystem checks From a live USB, I ran:

sudo fsck -f -n /dev/sdc2

The result showed no filesystem errors. The output completed all passes without reporting problems.

SMART checks I installed smartmontools and ran:

sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdc
sudo smartctl -x /dev/sdc
sudo smartctl -t long /dev/sdc

Important results:

  • SMART overall-health: PASSED
  • Extended self-test previously completed without error
  • No reallocated sectors
  • No pending sectors
  • No offline uncorrectable sectors
  • But UDMA_CRC_Error_Count is 731

The full SMART output suggests the SSD itself is not failing in a classic way, but the CRC error count makes me suspect SATA link or motherboard-side issues.

Other observations

  • The SSD benchmarks looked normal for a SATA SSD.
  • The system is running in AHCI mode.
  • I don’t fully believe all SATA cables and ports on the board are bad, so I’m wondering whether this could be a motherboard, BIOS, power, or controller issue instead.

My main question Given that:

  • two different SSDs showed similar read-only behavior,
  • multiple SATA data cables and power cables were tested,
  • fsck found no filesystem corruption,
  • SMART passed but UDMA_CRC_Error_Count is high,

what would be the next best step to isolate whether the problem is:

  • the motherboard SATA ports,
  • the PSU / SATA power,
  • BIOS/firmware,
  • or something else?

Would updating the HP BIOS be worth trying on this system?

Thanks in advance.

Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 Files program no longer shows thumbnails after new new-install procedure with Ubuntu Server first https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566598/ubuntu-desktop-24-04-files-program-no-longer-shows-thumbnails-after-new-new-inst

I had to rebuild my FLASH disk after a rebuild that used Ubuntu Server 24 first (because the DVD no longer contains the full Ubuntu Desktop configuration). Neither logout/login nor full reboot after the described removals works.

The previous successful answer was to rm -Rf ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail

from Ubuntu 24.04 File thumbnails not visible on desktop

That no longer works for me.

I sincerely hope the only workable answer now ISN'T starting from Ubuntu 22.04 and doing an online full system rebuild.

Black screen after booting Ubuntu 26.04 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566363/black-screen-after-booting-ubuntu-26-04

Since updating to Ubuntu 26.04 on my laptop, I've been having an issue where the screen just goes black after Ubuntu boots up. I see the boot animation, but as soon as I reach the login screen, the screen goes black. When I connect a second monitor, I can see that everything works fine on it. I’ve already found a workaround to reactivate the primary screen: if I briefly close the laptop and then open it again, everything suddenly works as it should. I generated a GPU log of the startup. You can see that after 9 seconds, the graphics card tries to communicate with the screen and apparently fails. A clean install did not fix the problem. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Ubuntu 26.04 installation stuck during rsync https://askubuntu.com/questions/1565956/ubuntu-26-04-installation-stuck-during-rsync

Starting an installation of Ubuntu 26.04 with full disk wipe using the graphical installer, I have an installation stuck at rsync command for 30+ minutes after an error.

rsync connection closed:

Massive storage space usage on Windows with WSL https://askubuntu.com/questions/1564768/massive-storage-space-usage-on-windows-with-wsl

I've been using WSL on my work laptop and just recently I started getting store space errors, which is surprising because I have a 1TB SSD. I checked the storage settings and it shows Ubuntu 22.04.5 taking up 803GB of space, which is insane (see screenshot). On further examination, it shows that the app takes up 324 MB while the data is taking up 802 GB. I tried the repair and reset options, but nothing happened. I am unable to install any more applications on my PC because of this.

18.04 Scale up Plymouth splash screen for external monitor on laptop https://askubuntu.com/questions/1216876/18-04-scale-up-plymouth-splash-screen-for-external-monitor-on-laptop

I use a laptop connected to an external monitor with 18.04, and don't use the laptop screen at all.

It generally works great but the custom splash screen I added with Plymouth shows up when I boot, sized for my laptop screen, not the monitor, and it looks really tacky.

I've spent several hours on this but I don't have the proper knowledge to diagnose the problem. How can I scale up or resize the splash screen?

How to get the 2560x1440 resolution option permanently under Ubuntu 18.04? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1128062/how-to-get-the-2560x1440-resolution-option-permanently-under-ubuntu-18-04

I just bought an Acer K272HUL 27" monitor capable of 1440 resolution to use with a 4k laptop running Ubuntu 18.04 and a Nvidia 960M GPU. I followed the directions here(I needed to use cvt - r since this model blanks)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr#Adding_undetected_resolutions

Everything seems to work great. I get 2650x1440 on the Acer. My problem is how to make this permanent? The instructions say to create an entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf but I don't think I have that file under Ubuntu 18.04. How do I make this resolution option permanent?

These are the files/directories under /etc/X11/ ` app-defaults rgb.txt Xreset.d Xsession.options cursors xinit Xresources xsm default-display-manager xkb Xsession XvMCConfig fonts Xreset Xsession.d Xwrapper.config

How do I remove or reset all xrdp settings for user https://askubuntu.com/questions/1068452/how-do-i-remove-or-reset-all-xrdp-settings-for-user

I am running xrdp on my Ubuntu 18.04 computer. I got 3 users. Two is working well. They can connect from Windows 10 rdp without any problem. But the last one does fail with a "Connection problem, giving up" message. And it is that user I use myself.

I have spend a lot of time researching and looking at log-files without any luck. I did remove and install xrdp again - no change.

I might have done something to corrupt the settings for this user. It did work for some time. If I only could somehow reset the user.

The user is not logged on locally. I use gnome desktop. From inxi for one of the functioning users i got this info:

Desktop: Gnome 3.28.2 Distro: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Display Server: X.Org 1.19.6

EDIT

I compared an OK user with the malfunctioning user by looking at /var/log/xrdp.log. For the OK user, the log continues after:

 [DEBUG] xrdp_wm_log_msg: started connecting

while the other just gets a bunch of:

 [DEBUG] Closed socket 17 (AF_UNIX)

and after a while these lines appears:

 xrdp_wm_log_msg: connection problem, giving up
 xrdp_wm_log_msg: some problem

There are some differences in .xorgxrdp.10.log

Flash drive can no longer be booted from https://askubuntu.com/questions/686461/flash-drive-can-no-longer-be-booted-from

I used the Universal USB Installer to put Ubuntu on a flash drive, and my computer booted from it just fine, but I decided to try a few other versions of Linux before installing it. I reformatted the flash drive and then put Mint on it, but now the computer would not boot from the drive. After this I put Ubuntu back onto it and still the computer would not boot from the drive.

I'm almost entirely certain that I did everything the same when putting Ubuntu onto the flash drive that I did the first time. I'm at a loss for what to do because I can't find any differences between now and when it was working.

This is what is displayed when I attempt to boot from the flash drive. As you can see it recognizes the flash drive, but it does not boot.
