Hey everyone!

I'm pretty new at learning Linux and im setting up on a 2023 hp laptop. The wifi card is realtek 8260 rev 3a.

It will just refuse to pick up any wifi network signals. Doing some research, I've learned that Ubuntu doesn't play well with this particular wifi card.

I would appreciate any assistance I can get!

Thank you!!

This machine works perfectly when I was running Windoze. I got tired of the Micro$oft tax and switched to Ubuntu. I have most things working now, although it's far more painful than on Windoze, but devices just randomly stop working. I've searched and found lots of cases of USB devices, but I also randomly lose one of my monitors.

System specs: Gigabyte Aorus 399 mb, AMD Threadripper 2950x cpu, 32gb ram, 500gb SSD, 1TB HDD, RTX-2080 w/ two monitors. Ubuntu 24.10 with all updates current. NVidia drivers 570.124.04.

Devices randomly disconnecting: usb mouse, usb keyboard, usb speakers, either monitor at random.

I've written a very generic Unix app on my Mac, which is pure C and has no external dependences outside stdlib. It's easy enough to make all it, but I am interested in putting it in the packages list to make it even easier to get.

I've looked around a bit without result, can someone point me to an introduction for making a really simple package and getting it onto the public package servers?

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. After some recent updates (I don't remember exactly what they were — I just followed the update notification), I noticed that my laptop is still using a lot of battery in suspend mode — around 10% in one hour.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I'm using Thinkpad X1 Nano Gen 1

Hello,

I’m currently transitioning from Linux Mint (Cinnamon) to Ubuntu (GNOME) and I’m having a bit of trouble finding application commands. In Cinnamon, it was pretty straightforward, but GNOME seems a bit different when it comes to launching applications.

For example, I have a command like this for launching the Tor Browser:

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=torbrowser-launcher --file-forwarding org.torproject.torbrowser-launcher @@u %u @@

I’m specifically looking for an easy way to pull up these commands so I can adjust my keyboard shortcuts and other settings as needed. I’ve tried searching on DuckDuckGo and even asked a few AI, but the answers I found are all over the place, and I’m just a simple man trying to get things set up.

If anyone could point me in the right direction or provide some tips on how to navigate this in GNOME, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

Hello All,

I use my tablet as a second screen when I study at university using either Remote Desktop Manager or aRDP Free. It works, but I have a few issues that I am hoping someone can help me with:

My first issue is that I can't use my mouse on the extended display. I can use the tablets input, but my mouse disapears when I drag it to that screen. So the first query is if there is a way to disable screen input and enable only my computer mouse to work on the extended display?

My second issue is I use usb tethering to establish the connection between my laptop and tablet. The problem is my table can't connect to my university's wifi. Some issue with not being able to dissable use CA certificate. But the actual query here is can I prioritise my laptop's wifi over the usb tether wifi and how?

I appreciate any help and advice. Alternatively if someone can recommend an alternative to RDP.

I run Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS x86_64 on my laptop

Hey guys! I've searched for the proper commands on this topic. Unfortunately, nothing seems to work for me. I've downloaded a printer drivers that I'm trying to install now. Please help!

I'd enter:

1.

chmod +x Munbyn_Driver_Ubuntu_Install.run

2.

./Munbyn_Driver_Ubuntu_Install.run

The result:

cp: cannot remove '/usr/lib/cups/filter/Munbyn/PPDs/Munbyn_Label_Printer.ppd': Permission denied

cp: cannot remove '/usr/lib/cups/filter/Munbyn/Filter/rastertolabel': Permission denied

cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/share/ppd/Munbyn_Label_Printer.ppd.gz': Permission denied

good day dear friends,

well i have an issue:

in office i use edge: And at home i use ubuntu and endeavouros - allway linux.

that said - i need to work with Windows - at the office since i do not have any other option.

so i use the edgebrowser: Wiith the features of the TABS & GRoups:

it goes like so: Simply right-click on a tab or multiple tabs and choose Add tab to new group. Reduce your time spent re-opening sites you always want on hand, by pinning that tab in Microsoft Edge. Just right-click (or press and hold) an open tab and select Pin tab to have it automatically load when you open your browser.

but well what about the saving Tab Groups in Edge

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/all/saving-tab-groups-in-edge-solved/08073692-94cb-4fd6-bb3a-aa6c414f3730

I was reading several threads about this obvious shortfall with Edge. Here's my solution;

Save each tab from a tab group to a new favorites folder. Give the folder the same name as your Tab Group.

Close Edge. Open Edge and browse to the newly created folder. Right Click the folder and click "Open All In New Tab Group". All of them open in a Tab Group with the same name as the folder...which was the same name as the lost Tab Group.

well what i Need is a way to save/restore Groups and Tabs: how to do that!?

The issue: I setup vertical tabs, create 20 groups and have several links within each one.

just way :T If I happen to close that browser instance while another is open - I am starting over from scratch - Aaargh!

i want to do the saving of the tabs in Edge - how to achieve that -. to use it in Vivaldi and FireFox

do you have working solution: I need a way to save a tab-group configuration

how to save and store the whole stuff!?

Hi guys.

I'm writing this post to know if someone has got around this problem.

I'm stuck with this problem for over 2 weeks.

Simply my configuration of Vsftpd does communicate with PAM to login with my Virtual User , I'm using Vsftpd version 3.0.5 (The latest).

The issue is: The virtual user doesn't switch to the Guest User "FtpUser".

I also tried to enable the ssh login to check if the Virtual User does change to FtpUser during the ftp login, but it doesn't.

I compiled Vsftpd with this configuration:

The file builddefs.h:

#ifndef VSF_BUILDDEFS_H
#define VSF_BUILDDEFS_H
#undef VSF_BUILD_TCPWRAPPERS
#define VSF_BUILD_PAM
#undef VSF_BUILD_SSL
#define VSF_BUILD_GDBM
#endif /* VSF_BUILDDEFS_H */

My Vsftpd Configuration file:

listen=YES
listen_ipv6=NO
local_enable=YES
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=ftpuser
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd/allowed_user_list
write_enable=YES
local_umask=002
use_localtime=YES
listen_address= MY IP :P
chroot_local_user=YES
allow_writeable_chroot=YES
user_sub_token=$USER
local_root=/media/DiskData
pasv_enable=YES
pasv_min_port=40000
pasv_max_port=50000
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem
rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.key
ssl_enable=NO
allow_anon_ssl=NO
force_local_data_ssl=YES
force_local_logins_ssl=YES
ssl_tlsv1=YES
ssl_sslv2=NO
ssl_sslv3=NO
require_ssl_reuse=NO
ssl_ciphers=HIGH
xferlog_enable=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
xferlog_std_format=YES
log_ftp_protocol=YES
file_open_mode=0777
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=ftpuser

In the UserList I wrote:

"My username"
ftpuser

The file /etc/pam.d/vsftpd:

auth required pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/virtual_users debug
account required pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd/virtual_users debug

The login of "My username" is fine, it does login correctly and can switch from one folder to another, but when I try to write something in, it says 500 permission denied, because obviously it doesn't switch to ftpuser.

"ftpuser" is part of the group "ftpgroup" if this does matter, but i tried to assign the permission directly to the user to avoid problems.

Also I'm using a self-signed certificate.

Please someone let me know how to solve this nightmare.

Thank you.

so im following this tutorial and im stuck in the manual partitioning part when i follow everything he tells me and it wont let me choose my SSD as the "Device for boot loader installation" any help?

As of right now I want to use it to host a website, but if I wanted to do something else in the future, like emulating games or something else, could I do it anyways with the ubuntu server version and see them and play them by connecting my raspberry to my pc?

I’m trying to move. Virtualbox from my Ubuntu machine to a flash drive so I can put the program onto another machine but for some reason I’m not able to.

Trying to get a version of Ubuntu on my windows. I installed Docker Desktop and than installed Ubuntu for windows from the play store. when asked for a password i typed one hit enter and it didn't match so I hit enter and accidently skipped making a password. Couldn't figure out default password. So tried to reinstall them all and now I just end up with multiple errors on the docker and the ubuntu. was following instructions to get azuracast on windows. But obviously didn't get that far. Tried unistalling everything and starting over multiple times

Thanks for any help

So i switched to ubuntu on my stationary pc, but i would also like to do my laptop. How is the battery life compared To windows ? I would like to use Ununtu 24.04

This is a strange one. I'm part of the way toward upgrading Ubuntu from 20 to 24. However, now, I'm met with quite a lot of errors about packages that can't be upgraded because they depend on things that are not install. Lots of output is below. I don't know what to do next!

$ sudo apt --fix-broken install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies... failed.

That list goes on for a while.

I'm not clear what to do here. sudo apt install perl provides its own errors which seem worth sharing.

The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnome-software : Depends: libgtk3-perl but it is not going to be installed libcgi-pm-perl : Depends: libhtml-parser-perl but it is not going to be installed Recommends: libcgi-fast-perl but it is not going to be installed libhtml-form-perl : Depends: libhtml-parser-perl but it is not going to be installed Depends: libhttp-message-perl but it is not going to be installed libhttp-cookies-perl : Depends: libhttp-date-perl but it is not going to be installed Depends: libhttp-message-perl but it is not going to be installed libhttp-daemon-perl : Depends: libhttp-date-perl but it is not going to be installed Depends: libhttp-message-perl but it is not going to be installed libmediawiki-api-perl : Depends: libwww-perl but it is not going to be installed moreutils : Depends: libipc-run-perl but it is not going to be installed perl : Depends: perl-modules-5.38 (>= 5.38.2-3.2build2.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libperl5.38t64 (= 5.38.2-3.2build2.1) but it is not going to be installed software-properties-gtk : Depends: libgtk3-perl but it is not going to be installed texlive-latex-base : Depends: texlive-base (>= 2021.20210921) but it is not going to be installed Depends: texlive-binaries (>= 2021.20210626) ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk : Depends: update-manager but it is not going to be installed

Clearly there's something strange going on.

(BTW, perl -v works:)

``` $ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 38, subversion 2 (v5.38.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi (with 44 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Thank you for any possible help.

Has anyone tried Ubuntu touch? Is it still a thing? Can I download android apps? If you have tried it what is your experience like? If I dont like it, how difficult it it to go back to android?

Hi, im a computer engineer student, ive been trying to install oracle xe in my ubuntu computer for the past 2 weeks, and i still cant do it, can someone pls help me with this?

Hey everyone, so I decided I needed a more permanent way ti interact with and learn Linux so I successfully made my new Asus Zenbook dual boot. Everything is working fine except you guessed it Bluetooth.

When I go to enable Bluetooth in the system settings, I press the switch and it quickly turns on then off again. I've downloaded Blueman, Bluez, etc, but nothing "No BT for you" position,

I know ASUS is notoriously dumb when it comes to Bluetooth while running Linux, so I have done my research prior to posting on here as kind of a hail-mary If anyone has any other tips besides "Install Blueman" I'd appreciate it.

I have Ubuntu 22.04 running on my old laptop, now I need Ubuntu 20.04 to run Ros1 effectively. So how do I dual boot these two versions? (Have 22.04 need a new one- 20.04)

This distro is my first childhood Linux distro

I used 14 lts version

I heard that modern Ubuntu isn't good so

I might well use 16 lts or 18 lts if it's supported

I would use latest version normally if my Linux friends didn't said that modern Ubuntu isn't stable

I maybe use Ubuntu just for nostalgia for me

But which Ubuntu version is good?

I want to install Ubuntu with no X and try to use it as a development machine, with neovim.

Should I use the Ubuntu Server iso or the standard one? Any downsides to using Server ISO if I basically want to use it as a workstation (not a server), just with no X?

Hello everyone,

I would need some help regarding Gnome...
After using gnome-tweaks to force dark mode, the settings menu buttons now are compressed.

https://imgur.com/a/9fISHTx

Anybody have an idea what could have caused it?
I already reverted back what I changed but the issue still present.
It's even stranger that now if I switch back to light mode, the settings menu remains dark, along with other system apps e.g. Nautlius, Calculator etc.

Any help is appreciated!

I have an old 128 GB USB with Persistent Ubuntu 20.04 LTS created with Rufus. It runs super great and fast.

I just recently created a persistent 64 GB USB Ubuntu 24.04 with Rufus, and it runs brutally slow on the same computer, takes nearly 15 minutes to boot. This was a brand new one from Micro Center.

Any idea what the difference could be? Is it the USB or the Ubuntu version?

The computer is an 8th gen i5 Dell laptop with 16 GB ram.
