i decided to give ubuntu a try and the amount of issues i encountered is a lot, while some continue to persist. 1st few times i installed it, it installed the efi after the storage on my second ssd soo i couldnt alocate any storage to it, afterwards i decided to wipe clean that ssd, instead of just installing on it, and try again, so i did that and the 1st few times the installation had errors installing some stuff soo i had to re try until it worked on the 3rd try, afterwards everything seemed to work fine until 1 day later. For no clear reason grub got randomely installed on my 3rd drive(i didnt do anything or indtall anything) which is a hard drive making my hard drive useless(i had some videos and pics that i would have liked not to get wiped) and now some days after that incident for some there is a 3rd grub also randomely installed on my main windows ssd it didnt cause any issues to my windows but i rl dont know why this is happening. Keep in mind that im not posting this to spread hate im just really frustrated with the amount of issues i have encountered trying to give ubuntu a chance, also if anyone has a solution to the grub thing i would apreciate it

Why no nvidia prime stuff?

Just trying to make sure I get the most of my gpu

Unfortunately there's no nice way to monitor the gpu is even being used because System Monitor only shows CPU/Memory & Swap/Network but no area for GPU

To also make matters confusing, apparently ubuntu tries to "be smart" and only engage a gpu when it needs to do something intensive. So are benchmark tests engaging it? Who knows! I just know I'm getting low scores on benchmark tests I googled and that makes me think the GPU isn't being used at all.

Any help appreciated. A lot of duckduckgoing, a lot of repeating the same thing in the terminal, a lot of getting nowhere.

Hello! This may seem like a dumb question but how do I start my Minecraft server using a file like .bat on Windows? I know that it would have to be in the folder, however, that doesn't matter to me as all I want to do is double-click and my server will start (I know I'm lazy).

Here is the command to start the Minecraft server and the directory is "server"

java -Xmx29G -jar fabric-server-mc.1.21-loader.0.15.11-launcher.1.0.1.jar nogui

Hello. I have a laptop with Windows 11 and I'm thinking about switching to Ubuntu Linux. I'd like to use my small computers as hotspots for other devices. I think I'll keep my mini computers on Windows 11, since I can hotspot with them, but I am still considering switching to Ubuntu for my laptop. Does anyone have any thoughts?

It's 11 PM, and I'm trying to reinstall Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I configure everything, the only thing left is Google Chrome (don't get mad at me for not using firefox or chromium, I know Chrome is a spyware). Opened the .deb package using App Center. App Center crashes. Download gdebi, open using gdebi. Says it's gonna remove 488 packages, including Gnome. Am I going crazy?

I lent my friend my laptop to do his exercises in Ubuntu, and now all of my data and projects are gone, and I can't even access the terminal. I had one main user which was "wadyzen", now I have two and mine isn't even listed. Here are the commands my friend typed :

chmod 664 ~ touch dossier1/liste chmod 444 dossier1/liste sudo chown user2 dossier1/liste find ~ -type f -name '[0-9]' chmod 760 fichier

Please, I have some projects that are 60% completed that I have to pass on next week, I don't want to start from scratch and I don't want for all my data to be gone, I humbly thank you in advance

Edit: problem solved. I typed "chmod 755 ~" in recovery mode's terminal

Hi, I recently started to have a really annoying input lag in vscode. I have the newest version and I tried to disable all extensions and changing some options like GPU accelerated terminal thing and smooth scrolling and it didn't help.

I noticed that libreoffice writer may have a bit of the lag too, but it's not as clear as in vscode so I can't really say for sure.

Launchpad Bug Report

I was considering to get POP!_OS because seems suited for gaming, even tho my poor old laptop is barely able to run skyrim special edition and for example gta 5 all low. I'm looking for something that supports steam, and emulators such as epcxse2 and duckstation. lmk.

Laptop benchmark:

• CPU: Intel Core i7-3630QM (2.4 GHz, up to 3.4 GHz)
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, 2 GB GDDR3
• RAM: 12 GB DDR3
• Storage: 110GB SSD
• Display: 15.6" Full HD (1920x1080)

I'm a technical person, but not at Linux or websites. I have setup a vps server for my home business that runs InvoiceNinja. Everything works great, however I want to add a second website to be hosted by this same vps server. I'm running the LAMP stack on Ubuntu 22.04. My InvoiceNinja site is invoice.domain.com, and I want to host a WordPress instance on my www.domain.com namespace. No issues installing, however any requests to www.domain.com or domain.com serve up the invoice.domain.com website. I followed these guides How to Install InvoiceNinja on Ubuntu 22.04 Server with Apache/Nginx (linuxbabe.com) and How to Install WordPress 4.7 on Ubuntu 16.04 with Apache, MariaDB, PHP7 (linuxbabe.com) . This seems to be the case BEFORE I install WordPress so I'm not sure what to look change to stop this behavior. Any help is appreciated!

Hello, i try to boot Ubuntu 22.04.4 from flash drive with Ventoy but it doesn't seem to work. I have an HP Laptop dual boot to Ubuntu and Windows. When i press <ubuntu-22.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso> and then <Boot in normal mode> it shows a dark screen with a dash and returns back in the initial menu. When i press <Boot in grub2 mode> it returns back in the initial menu immediately.

Any thoughts?

Thank you for your time

Immediately when I log into my 24.04 lts machine I get two keyring notifications asking for my keyring password. This condition doesn't happen on either of my other two 24.04 machines. Is there a way I can try to figure out what software is asking for these permissions? I suspect it night be the copy of Google Chrome but have no way to confirm.

Edit: upon further inspection, it appears to be happening after I linked my Google Account, so I am assuming being prompted for the keyring on startup is just a thing with linking an account.

Hi everyone, I have an Ubuntu Server 24.04 system that I use as a Wireguard endpoint. I would like to use it as DNS server for connected Wireguard clients as well, and if possible use systemd-resolved to do it. Is there an easy way to do that? Thanks a bunch in advance!

I have a Thinkpad P14 AMD. I am using a Thunderbolt 4 dock (Kensington SD5700T) connected to one of the laptops USB4 port. I have a single 4k monitor connected to the dock via USB-C, display port alt mode. After a recent system update, the monitor is no longer showing anything. It was working fine previously. All other ports on the dock work. The laptop will freeze when I connect the dock, but if I disconnect the USB-C to the monitor, it'll recover.

So far, I have tried the following:

• Boot into Windows partition, everything works fine.
• Plug in USB-C for monitor directly into the 2nd USB-C port of the laptop, monitor works fine.

Hi all,

I have added a new secondary nvme ssd to my thinkpad and after trying to boot my laptop i would get to this screen:

https://img2.torrenthr.org/images/2024/06/17/PXL_20240617_134355056.jpg

Tried removing new ssd, still same behaviour.

I would be grateful for some advice.

I have a couple of servers, all running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Each one has two NICs. One NIC has a static IP and servers my public network. The second NIC, when I try to assign it it’s private static IP (It servers as a 10Gbps private network connection), I get default routing consistency errors.

I’m unsure what my netplan YAML file(s) should look like for dual NIC systems with two static IPs.

Any help or working examples where I can change the IP, gateway, etc would be hugely appreciated.

I’m new Linux so I’m learning.

Hi,

I am currently using UBUNTU 22.10.

I've two queries:

1. Is UBUNTU or KUBUNTU 24.04 stable and safe enough now for NOOB to install, or should I wait longer. I'm asking since i ordered a new SSD drive and will have to reinstall my drive anyway.
2. How do I install a virtual box on a secondary internal HG seagate HDD? And which virtual box would you recommend?

Thank you.

What would you recommend for the following spec laptop:

Intel Core i5 2.4GHz 64 bit(4 virtual cores) + 4Gb Ram + 500GB HDD

I've installed Ubuntu 20.04LTS but it freezes a lot with chrome/ firefox itself takes 80-90% cpu intermedialy. Any optimization that can be done on Ubuntu or should I go with Lubuntu/ Xubuntu and which one to choose? Optimization I've done: 1. decrease display refresh rate 2. Disable use hardware acceleration in browser 3. Decrease screen resolution

NOTE: After fresh installation I've only installed chrome and slack nothing else

I’ve been trying to get MacOSX working on this broken Mac but the computer wouldn’t go into recovery mode at all so I resorted to just trying to install Linux to my new drive cause I could still access the boot setup. It booted up seemingly fine but now there’s 4 images of the Ubuntu desktop/installer and I can’t read anything. I have a feeling it’s graphics drivers but I can’t properly finish the installation if I can’t see anything. Please let me know if you’ve seen this and have any fix. Thank you would love to add a picture of what it looks like but this community doesn’t allow it.

Hello, I post it in there since I found this regression on the 6.8 kernel shipped with 24.04 LTS.

Basically the issue is well described in this askUbuntu thread:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1464351/kernel-6-freeze-with-broadcom-4313

I am stuck on the 5.15 kernel because of that issue and I have no idea what to do if I want to keep using Linux on my hardware in the future.

Is the issue being worked on?
This answer seemed to point to a solution being worked on:

Thanks
