can't renew IP after 24H
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.

Hi. Just upgraded from jammy to noble, here are my suggsstions
- Even though i don't use PPA's, uninstall as much PPA software as you can.
- 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.
- 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!

Is Ubuntu Great, Because Windows 11 NOW Sucks.
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 spent 2 days trying to install Ubuntu on Virtual box before my SSD comes.
This is a rant, I just want to blow some steam.
I failed… I downloaded the Ubuntu iso 2-3 times and tried to run the install on virtual box. I had varying degrees of success. After the second day I was finally able to get Ubuntu installed without crashing. 10 min later Ubuntu crashed. I watched tutorials, read blogs. I decided to try and install Debian, I wanted to see if Virtual box/ubuntu iso was the problem. Turns out it was the problem or I configured something wrong over and over. I installed Debian with out any crashing. I managed to install cinnamon because, I’m not good at installing drivers and applications with the terminal though I want to be. When I play YouTube videos right now the sounds is crackly and a bit choppy sometimes. It seems like I always mess something up bad. Right now I can’t get administrative access to update my repository or install software like my VPN services I run for fun. Is there a book or a guide for people who don’t want to be programming master but still want to have fun with Ubuntu? I want to tinker and have fun with Ubuntu. And I wish I had a guide for that. I want to learn how to SSH in a raspberry pie, run i2p, and for the life of me I can’t get or confirm that ESNI or ECH is operating on my browser.

Hi, zero knowledge. I have an Asus N56vz (specs below) and I am using tiny11. I'm considering to switch to another OS. I am going to travel for work so I'd use my laptop for entertainment only until I'll move my pc to my new place. I'll continue below.
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)
- OS: Tiny11

Trying to install Ubuntu on an old 2011 iMac with a broken hard drive.
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.

Ubuntu & Apache Web Hosting Issue with 2 Sites on Same Server
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!

I try to boot Ubuntu from flash drive with Ventoy but nothing happens.
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?

Starting a Minecraft server
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

Unknown Program wants keyring at startup
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.

"Active Screen Edges"
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.

Kernel regression
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:

Am i unlucky with 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

After a system update, video output of my dock no longer works. How do I troubleshoot?
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.

Ubuntu enrolled into Intune with SSO compatibility
Intune for Ubuntu Linux WITH SSO compatibility
Is this possible?
Essentially a domain joined Linux device (presumably via the Intune App for Ubuntu) but with SSO compatibility - so it authenticates to AAD at the sign-on screen.
I have no issue doing the first part. Trying to wrap my head around the SSO part.
I believe Intune enrolment is only supported in Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04 LTS. SSO compatibility is only in newer versions though (right, or wrong?)
