How to view RAW .NEF files in nautilus on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568055/how-to-view-raw-nef-files-in-nautilus-on-ubuntu-26-04-lts

I know this question has been asked before for previous versions of Ubuntu but I cant seem to get .NEF raw photo thumbnails in my standard file manager which I think is known as Nautilus?

What is the correct way of achieving this?

Thank you in advance.

is there any way to turn off the screen while the lid is closed without suspending Ubuntu Server? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568053/is-there-any-way-to-turn-off-the-screen-while-the-lid-is-closed-without-suspendi

How can I disable screen on my laptop with Ubuntu Server 26.04? I found the way to make it work while lid is closed, but screen is still on and causes some unnecessary heat. I tried to disable the screen using the sudo vbetool dpms off command, but it just suspends my session and puts it into sleep mode. I also tried adding a consoleblank=60 string to the /etc/default/grub > GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, but it didn't work.

I added a fastfetch screenshot, just in case.

Can portions of user-data (like the disk configuration) be skippied during autoinstall? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568051/can-portions-of-user-data-like-the-disk-configuration-be-skippied-during-autoi

I know I'm off in to the weeds a bit, but I'm trying to save a few iterations of effort.

What I'm looking to get done is to have Ubuntu set up and install to a ZFS mirror. Single disk zfs stripe works fine. Whenever I try to do a multi-disk root (ZFS mirror, LVM mirror), the installer gets jenky, picks a random disk, and tries to install on to an LVM volume, which then doesn't boot correctly.

I've found a script that is intended to run under Ubuntu Desktop to Do the Right Thing(tm).

I'm PXE booting, so I'm trying to minimize the changes required, but what I'm hoping to do is update the user-data file to ignore sections I dont need - in this case, I want to install the ZFS utilities and run the pool creation script as "Early" scripts, and hopefully leave the pool how/where the installer it expects to find it (/target, IIRC), and then let it do the rest of the job.

Is this possible by just removing the disk portion of the configuration?

At the end of the day, I could probably get by with just the Early and Late scripts, but thats heading down a road of taking over the installation that I'd prefer to not do if I can.

How do I fix my installation without starting over? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568048/how-do-i-fix-my-installation-without-starting-over

I have a legacy BIOS (it knows not from EFI or secure boot or anything newer than 2010.

I have a broken installation on an MBR formatted external drive /dev/sdc with partitions /dev/sdc1 labeled '/boot' and /dev/sdc3 labeled '/'

I installed from a live dvd which decided to create its own boot directory in the '/' partition. I copied over its contents to /dev/sdc1 so the contents of /boot appear to be correct. Using fdisk, I marked /dev/sdc1 active. However, it doesn't show up in my BIOS!

I have another installation on an internal drive which boots just fine and os_prober found BOTH boot directories on my external drive and added them to grub on the internal drive.

But I cannot boot from them. When I try, it says it can't find /boot/vmlinux which is clearly present (I can mount these partitions and look around).

What is going wrong? And why does my BIOS ignore this external drive?

Thanks in advance.

Cannot `deboostrap` for Ubuntu Noble https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568047/cannot-deboostrap-for-ubuntu-noble

I’m just not able to have this succeeds, whatever the mirror I use (mirror not shown in the command):

fakechroot fakeroot debootstrap noble root

It always ends with:

W: Failure while configuring required packages. W: See /…/root/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package mawk is at fault)

And that file says:

Setting up base-files (13ubuntu10) ... Setting up bash (5.2.21-2ubuntu4) ... update-alternatives: using /usr/share/man/man7/bash-builtins.7.gz to provide /usr/share/man/man7/builtin> Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.39-0ubuntu8) ... Errors were encountered while processing: mawk

Is it an issue with the mirrors or with debootstrap? I tried multiple different mirrors, including the default one.

However, if I do the same for Debian Bookworm, on which I believe Ubuntu Noble is based, it can finish without any error:

fakechroot fakeroot debootstrap bookworm root http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/
…
I: Base system installed successfully.

Before each time I have a try, the root directory is emptied.

As a side note, I need it to try to compile an application which I am not able to compile on XUbuntu. I would like a fakechroot environment to try some things without polluting or breaking the system in use. May be I can use the Debian Bookworm minimal system for that, but I’m not sure, and anyway, it would be cleaner with the Ubuntu Noble minimal system.

I'm using new Ubuntu (26.04) but there it writes something like this: No KScreen module found. Please check your KScreen installation.

I see it in /usr/bin/systemsettings.

How can I fix it? I tried install it but KScreen doesn't exist.

Automatic Migration in a MongoDB Environment with Only 2 Ubuntu Servers https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568044/automatic-migration-in-a-mongodb-environment-with-only-2-ubuntu-servers

I want to set up a MongoDB architecture using only two physical Ubuntu servers, without the possibility of adding a third server or an external arbitrator.

My system:

Server 1 will be my primary server, and everything will be written to it.

Server 2 will be my backup server, copying data from Server 1.

I want Server 2 to automatically become "writable" when Server 1 completely shuts down or crashes.

My questions:

I only have two servers. Is it possible for MongoDB's own system to automatically make the second server "writable" when the first server completely shuts down or crashes? In other words, can Server 2 automatically write when Server 1 shuts down?

If MongoDB cannot do this automatically, what is the most accurate and common way to solve this problem with only two servers?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Browser stuck problem https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568042/browser-stuck-problem

I switched from Windows to Ubuntu. I downloaded Google Chrome. When I opened it, it is stuck. I couldn't able to write a URL. I could just close it. I also download Brave browser and Microsoft Edge. The same thing is happening with them too.

I have tried to reinstall, but nothing changed.

Discord screen sharing not working for x11 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568035/discord-screen-sharing-not-working-for-x11

I'm new to Ubuntu GNOME 24.04, but screen sharing isn't working. I tried switching to X11 (like uncommenting #WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and verifying echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE), configuring the NVIDIA drivers, toggling hardware acceleration, and rebooting, but nothing worked. The issue persisted even when using Vesktop, however recording via OBS works perfectly fine.

systemctl --user status pipewire
systemctl --user status wireplumber

Both are enabled, but I received this.

It still doesn't work even with acceleration disabled via discord --disable-gpu --disable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,UseMultiPlaneFormatForHardwareVideo.

GTK File chooser dialog box doesn't save on <Enter> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568020/gtk-file-chooser-dialog-box-doesnt-save-on-enter

I just upgraded my Ubuntu 24.04-4 MATE install to the latest version. I noticed that in Firefox the save dialog box refuses to save a file on the proposed location when hitting [Enter] like it always did. I first blamed Firefox but it is system-wide. Any GTK app has this unwanted behavior. Other PCs, a fully up-to-date Linux Mint 22.3 workstation and a fresh test install of Ubuntu 24.04 MATE on an HP USDT (Ultra Small Desktop) save just fine on [Enter].

But not only that, I also noticed files being overwritten without any warning when clicking Save (or using [Alt]+s). Barring a complete system re-install, how can I fix this?

I keep getting this… I have dull Linux and window [closed] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568016/i-keep-getting-this-i-have-dull-linux-and-window

I tried to remove Ubuntu from Windows so that I could install a new Linux distribution. However, the garb always pops out. I think my Windows 10 files are still safe.

Ubuntu 26.04 Random reboots on my laptop https://askubuntu.com/questions/1568004/ubuntu-26-04-random-reboots-on-my-laptop

For a couple weeks now, I've been experiencing random reboots on my laptop.

They happen once or twice a day or not at all, either while in use (black screen), from suspend, or at boot (-> GRUB-menu). All I do at the laptop is write texts and ocassionally game.

From my logs, these "Previous system reset reason" messages jump out at me:

  • internal CPU shutdown event occured - Coincides with reboot times, except at boot.
  • software wrote 0x6 to reset control register 0xCF9 - Too many, but a few coincide with at boot.
  • ACPI power state transition occurred - Rare, possibly unrelated.

See sample logs HERE and HERE. (Some things are redacted.) Also, see my CPU information HERE.

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 26.04, I've had Linux kernel panics at boot once in a blue moon. Could this be relevant?

The only software I've installed within these last few weeks are VSCodium and .NET SDK.

For VSCodium:

  1. snap install codium --classic
  2. "Getting all telemetry out"
  3. Installed muhammadsammy's C# plugin through VSCodium
  4. Installed .NET SDK (see later)
  5. Uninstall everything (wasn't happy)
    • Including sudo rm /usr/local/bin/dotnet (again, see later)

For .NET SDK:

  1. sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --classic (or dotnet-sdk-100 when installing VSCodium)
  2. sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/dotnet (for dot-net-100)
  3. Added to ~.profile:
    • export DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=true
    • export DOTNET_ROOT=/snap/dotnet-sdk/current

What I've tried:

  • Disabling Fast Boot, makes no difference?
  • Running MyAsus System Diagnostics, all OK
  • Keeping tabs on systemctl timers, not correlated

What I haven't tried:

  • Running memtest
  • Fresh reinstall
  • Changing other BIOS/UEFI settings

Update 1: BIOS update

As suggested by ChanganAuto, I updated the BIOS. As it turns out, I was on version 306 (2023/07/25). I followed the instructions from both "BIOS Update" and my laptop vendor's:

  1. Back up my stuff plus /boot/efi/EFI
  2. Download the latest BIOS for my device (BIOS for ASUS EZ Flash Utility Version 318)
  3. Unzip the file, then move its content to /boot/efi/EFI
  4. Use ASUS Firmware Update from ASUS in UEFI on the file

Will update if the issue still persists.

Update 2: It Gets Worse

The problem is still present, perhaps worse. I had 3 reboots this morning. Oddly enough, I had none yesterday. See today's boot logs: 08:33, 08:56, 09:55, 10:28.

System apps are lag/freezing after using apt autoremove (possible missing dependencies) https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567986/system-apps-are-lag-freezing-after-using-apt-autoremove-possible-missing-depend

I'm currently using Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. When I first installed it, everything worked perfectly. I'm also quite new to Linux, so I've relied on ChatGPT a lot for help.

While using Ubuntu, I occasionally removed applications that I didn't need. Following ChatGPT's advice, I usually removed applications with:

sudo apt purge <app>

and then ran:

sudo apt autoremove

I was told that sudo apt autoremove only removes unused libraries and that if other applications still needed those libraries, they would either not be removed or could be reinstalled automatically, so it shouldn't affect the system. I trusted that advice.

After some time, I installed and removed many applications while trying to find software that suited my needs, and I'm sure that after uninstalling applications, I often ran sudo apt autoremove.

At some point, I started noticing that some system applications became slow or partially broken. For example, when I click a file upload button in a web browser and the file picker dialog opens, the file picker becomes very laggy and slow, although it doesn't completely freeze.

In addition, my default App Center now crashes and shows the following message:

"Is Not Responding. You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the app to quit entirely."

This makes me suspect that I may have accidentally removed some library that these applications depend on. I've also noticed that this problem seems to affect mainly applications built with Flutter, while most other applications work normally, except that a few of them become laggy during certain operations, like the file picker example I mentioned.

Is there any way to diagnose and fix this problem without reinstalling Ubuntu? I have a lot of important data and would really prefer not to reinstall the operating system.

I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the affected applications, but the problem still persists.

AMD GPU crashes system under specific conditions https://askubuntu.com/questions/1567427/amd-gpu-crashes-system-under-specific-conditions

My AMD RX 580 2048sp (a card that was previously used in a windows machine without flaws) has a few quirks in my Kubuntu 26.04 LTS machine.

Firstly, it over heats easily, which was addressed but not fixed by having better coolers, slightly limiting power usage and having fan speed configured to spin fast at the slightest heat.

Secondly, the main problem: sometimes, under specific environments and conditions, the system crashes. Image will turn into one solid shade, audio will glitch and the system won't work until rebooting. I have no idea what causes this, as it isn't related to temperature or heavy proceeding loads, as it can run graphically demanding games for hours. My guess is that there is one specific visual FX that the GPU can't process and then crashes. My reasoning is founded in 2 examples; in an emulator I have, most shaders run fine, but some crash consistently; and in one game the system crashes in the same exact spot but never anywhere else.

I have tried installing the amdgpu drivers, but that has done nothing and updating the system over months hasn't done anything, and unsinstalling said amdgpu packages has also made no difference. One thing that is important to not is that the prior GPU in this same distro didn't crash.

Edit: I have tried replicating the crash by installing a game that consistently crashes at the same spot. It crashes, I marked the time it did, waited 10 minutes (to make sure the logs are readable as being form different times), and this is the syslog from when the game opened and when it crashed:

Ubuntu Dell machine does not really wake up from suspension https://askubuntu.com/questions/1566544/ubuntu-dell-machine-does-not-really-wake-up-from-suspension

My Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS is installed on a dual-boot Dell Inc. Precision 5490 machine.

Every time I close my laptop's lid and the machine goes in suspension mode, when I get the lid up again the machine shows the screen with date and time but does not awake when I press enter or any other keys. The only thing I have been able to do at that point is to brute force power down by holding the power button pressed. This happens randomly, not all the times. I would prefer not doing this as forcing the machine to turn off this way might compromise the disk. What can I do?

Created a problem trying to update fwupd https://askubuntu.com/questions/1561955/created-a-problem-trying-to-update-fwupd

I have a message that I can update my Logitech Universal Receiver firmware.

Looked up instructions, which use fwupd. Was told to use snap for Ubuntu version 22

sudo snap install fwupd --classic 

But then I remembered it said to uninstall the "apt version", so I did:

sudo apt remove fwupd

But now when I enter fwupd, it says 'command not found'. I tried the snap install command again, it says fwupd is already installed.

I'm tolerably familiar with command lines, system paths, etc., but don't really understand apt, snap, or fwupd. Can someone please help me get the fwupd back, then I can start trying to update the Logitech Universal Receiver software.

Intel I219-LM on Lenovo M90n-1 IoT detected in PCI but e1000e probe fails on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Server https://askubuntu.com/questions/1559922/intel-i219-lm-on-lenovo-m90n-1-iot-detected-in-pci-but-e1000e-probe-fails-on-ubu

Intel I219-LM on Lenovo M90n-1 IoT detected in PCI but e1000e probe fails on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Server

I’m trying to use the second Ethernet port (Intel I219-LM) on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M90n-1 IoT running Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Server, but the NIC never initializes. The Realtek NIC works normally.

Ubuntu does detect the I219-LM in lspci, and the correct Intel driver (e1000e) loads, but the driver probe fails with error -2, and the interface never appears in ip a.


System

  • Model: Lenovo ThinkCentre M90n-1 IoT
  • BIOS: Latest available from Lenovo support website
  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Server (fresh, clean install)
  • NIC Port 1: Realtek RTL8111/8168 → works
  • NIC Port 2: Intel I219-LM → detected by PCI but does not work

Diagnostic information

PCI device is detected:

lspci | grep -i i219
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (6) I219-LM (rev 30)

Driver module loads, but probe fails:

Only the Realtek NIC appears in ip a:

       valid_lft 3565sec preferred_lft 3565sec
    inet6 .../64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Output shows:

  • lo
  • enp2s0 (Realtek RTL8111/8168 with a valid IPv4 address)

The Intel NIC never appears as an interface (normally it would be something like enp0s...).


What I have tried

  • Fresh reinstall of Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Server
  • Updated to latest Lenovo BIOS
  • Verified both NICs are enabled in BIOS
  • Swapped cables, ports, and switches
  • Booted with the Intel port connected and disconnected
  • Confirmed the e1000e kernel module is loaded

Behavior is always the same:

  • The Realtek NIC works perfectly.
  • The Intel I219-LM is visible in PCI, but e1000e fails to probe it and no network interface is created.

Additional test: Windows 10 works on the same hardware

To rule out hardware failure, I booted the exact same ThinkCentre M90n-1 IoT from a Windows 10 Pro portable USB with the Ethernet cable plugged only into the Intel I219-LM port (Realtek port unused):

  • Windows detected the Intel NIC.
  • It obtained an IP address via DHCP.
  • The machine was reachable on the LAN and had working network connectivity.

So:

  • The Intel I219-LM hardware and port are known-good.
  • BIOS configuration appears sufficient for the NIC to operate.
  • The failure seems specific to the Ubuntu 24.04.3 + in-kernel e1000e + Lenovo OEM NVM/firmware combination, not a physical or cabling issue.

Intel documentation

Intel’s official driver README for this NIC says:

  • I219-LM is supported
  • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is supported

Intel also states:

“If you purchased an OEM-branded system, contact your OEM for an SW/FW version compatible with your exact NVM. Using mismatched SW/FW versions may affect performance or stability.”

This suggests Lenovo may use a Lenovo-specific NVM/firmware for the I219-LM on this model.


Question for AskUbuntu

  • Is this a known issue with the I219-LM on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Server (kernel 6.8) on the ThinkCentre M90n-1 IoT?
  • Does the in-kernel e1000e driver need a different version or special module options for this OEM firmware/NVM?
  • Could this be caused by an Intel NVM or ME/UEFI firmware mismatch on this Lenovo platform?
  • How can I further debug what probe of 0000:00:1f.6 failed with error -2 actually means here?

Any help or pointers on getting the Intel I219-LM to initialize properly on this system would be greatly appreciated.

Ubuntu 24.04 with Nvidia driver is not working https://askubuntu.com/questions/1526419/ubuntu-24-04-with-nvidia-driver-is-not-working

After upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04, my external monitor stopped working. I have an NVIDIA graphics card, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, and I installed NVIDIA driver version 560.35.03. My output from the nvidia-smi command is shown.

enter image description here

I have tried multiple versions of drivers (535, 550, 555, and 470), but nothing works.

I tried completely removing the NVIDIA driver multiple times with sudo apt-get remove --purge *nvidia* and reinstalling it with a clean installation.

My kernel version is updated to 6.8.0-44-generic.

Secure boot is DISABLED too.

prime-select is set to the nvidia option.

When I run the command for Ubuntu drivers, I get the output: udevadm hwdb is deprecated. Use systemd-hwdb instead., however all drivers show up afterwards. This message appears x times, where x equals the number of available NVIDIA drivers.

After updating to Ubuntu 6.5.0-28-generic, my wifi adapter stopped being recognized. It had worked perfectly for the past month since first installing. I am using a tp-link AX3000 Archer TX55E. I tried the following:

  1. Re-seating the wifi card in a different pcie slot.
  2. Disabling and enabling "network stack" in BIOS.
  3. Used lsmod | grep iwlwifi to confirm that the iwlwifi module is loaded.
  4. and used ip link to confirm that the wireless interface is not listed.

Note: USB tethering to a cellphone works fine.

How do I stop my function keys from acting as media controls? https://askubuntu.com/questions/645099/how-do-i-stop-my-function-keys-from-acting-as-media-controls

Last week my function keys suddenly became media keys. F4 now toggles play status, F5 skips to the next song, and F12 ejects my media tray. When I try to remap them with Keyboard Shortcuts, I'm told that they map to XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioNext, and XF86AudioEject.

How do I get the old function key mapping back? If possible I'd like to avoid creating a keyboard mapping file - I didn't have one before these problems, so I'd just like to return to that state.

How to share files through the local network? https://askubuntu.com/questions/310180/how-to-share-files-through-the-local-network

I have a desktop (Ubuntu 13.04 & Win 7 Home Premium) and a Laptop (Ubuntu 12.04), both having WiFi adapters. I also have a WiFi router connected to internet which both my computers can access.

I want to share files between my desktop and my laptop using WiFi (similar to Homegroup on Windows 7 but without using Ethernet cables). How do I set-up that?

I want to share files using both OSs, if anyone have have information about sharing files with any of the OS please answer!

How do I get fan control working? https://askubuntu.com/questions/63588/how-do-i-get-fan-control-working

I know there something called fancontrol, that enables you to control the speed of your system's ventilation. I'd like to let my fans spin a bit faster as my laptop is heating up very easilly. All tutorials and stuff I've found are for old versions of Ubuntu and don't seem to be working anymore.

Can anyone explain to me or give me a good link on how I can get it working on Ubuntu? Something different with the same effect is also fine.
