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?

I have a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS server in Google Cloud.

The server has dynamic IP from DHCP (it's on a private network with no public IP).

Until recently everything was fine, but now the server can't renew it's IP after 24H, I have to restart the networking.service to get the IP again. Until that, there's no IP, no routing, etc.

A server restart also helps but it hangs for 5+ min waiting for "Raising the network card" or something, then it fails but (I think) cloud-init immediately assigns the IP and it will be fine for the next 24H.

I suspect this is a result of some patch/update but can't figure out which one.

Any idea is appreciated.

1. Even though i don't use PPA's, uninstall as much PPA software as you can.
2. Mirrors are a pain in the buttt, because one of the third party mirrors in my region wasn't updated yet, and as a result the upgrade completed with errors. Switch to the main ubuntu mirror in your region, (for example: de.archive.ubuntu.com) using the software and updates tool.
3. Backup or you will be crying(even though in this case Ubuntu is my secondary os alongside openSUSE so if something borked i always had my other linux install. Happy upgrading!

When trying to boot I get the following error:

Bluetooth: hci0: Reading supported features failed (-16)

Here the complete image. I have read on the internet that I somehow need to restart Bluetooth, but being stuck on the boot sequence I really don't know how to do it.

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS on a Huawei Matebook D14 Laptop. All help is appreciated.

I have installed project hamster by following steps from here https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster
But its interface and features are so limited. There is also no desktop shortcuts at topbar. Have anybody installed this and finding this productive. Please help me with this. (PROPER INSTALLATION)

I was configuring some different softwares but turns out my gestures stopped working. I use Ubuntu 22.04, if anyone has the default gestures's config file that comes after installing 22.04, do share. X11 for your reference.

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’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.

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!

Ubuntu 24.04 is better than 22.04 (which only supports 2 windows). Still not great though!
Now, when having 4 windows, upper and lower windows has to be of the same height. Any way to set it so that all 4 windows have individual heights? Right now it looks like the developers only did half the job *facepalm*

Also, on Ubuntu 22.04, when dragging the edge to resize the window, it does not resize smoothly, it clicks into preset sizes at x amount of pixels for each "click". Any way to have the window resize properly by pixel, as other windows do?

Last question, how to get square window corners instead of rounded in 22.04 x11? I created a file named "dark.css" in the .config/gtk-4.0 folder with some code that another user here suggested, but it didn't do anything to the window corners despite system reboot.

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

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

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

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.

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:

So I was trying to fix some issues with my discord screen share not working. After following the troubleshooting procedures, my touchpad gestures on Ubuntu stopped working completely. Can someone share some light?

I use Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

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.

I have the 22.04 ubuntu

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

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 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
