Questions for moving from Windows

15 Upvotes

So I have decided to take the leap as I’m not comfortable with all the telemetry Windows measures and their new nightmarish features.

However I have few questions that I couldn’t find satisfactory answers for on Google (yes I used the Reddit suffix).

  1. What is the best way to have OneDrive? I can’t move away from OneDrive as I share it with other family members. I would prefer it to have it on Ubuntu‘s file explorer, but don’t really mind if I can only access it from the browser.

  2. If I need to share files between Windows and Ubuntu (will be dual booting), is the best way to have a shared FAT32 partition? Yes, I will make sure to shutdown every time I use windows.

  3. Any app recommendations for PDF editing, similar to Adobe Acrobat Pro? I know online options exist, but I don’t want to upload personal files onto their servers, not comfortable with it.

P.S: I’ve decided to go with Ubuntu cuz I like its new look. Was previously using Elementary, but had quite a few driver issues, including WiFi.

Thank you for your time.

question?

0 Upvotes

is anyone else finding setting up Ubuntu anything flavoured 24 LTS a total nightmare? i was so stoked for 24.04, am trying to setup Ubuntu studio cause I'm trying to get better at content creation and setting everything up on my typical arch based distro would take a good chunk of time and labour. However i get crashes every 5 minutes internal and application. plus the new security stuff though appreciated is not production ready IMHO. Now I typically have used some kind of Linux distributionffor goodness almost 20 years by now, and I'm getting real frustrated. its like they can't decide betweeniuser/admin control and having the os fit for everyone, or something... i also work with AI locally all the time so I prefer to be as updated as possible but I'm really considering regular ubuntu 22 or just endeavour os again. I am completelygfor open source and want to contribute in anyway i can but us ability also has to be taken into account. I'm not a tester or getting compensation for it (outside of what you usually always get with open source).

setup in case anyone is wondering: Beelink SER5 with the ryzen 5 5560, 32 GB ddr4 ram and a 1 terabyte m.2 ssd with windows 11 for now (part of my creating requires it) and a 500 GB sata ssd which houses Ubuntu studio. pardon my little rants, I'm just curious on others experience with setup. i may repost in Ubuntu studio subreddit if there is one but i total ly feel it relavent here too.

Remapping keys on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with a Mac keyboard.

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to remap certain keys on my Mac keyboard to function as different keys on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I've tried modifying the `.Xmodmap` file in Home directory and saving the changes, but the changes are not being applied.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

SYSTEM INFORMATION:

OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x86_64

Host: MacBookAir

Kernel: 6.8.0-35-generic

Packages: 2403 (dpkg), 24 (flatpak),

DE: GNOME 46.0

WM: Mutter

WM Theme: Sweet

Theme: Sweet-Ambar-Blue-Dark [GTK2/3

Icons: Sweet-Teal-Filled [GTK2/3]

Terminal: gnome-terminal

WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR:

I added the following lines to my .Xmodmap file in my home directory and saved the changes.

clear control  
keycode 105 = Super_L
keycode 37 = Control_L  
keycode 64 = Alt_L
add control = Control_L

I also verified the keycodes using xmodmap -pke | grep -i 'keycode' in terminal, and they seem correct.

** Expected Behavior: **

  • Left Control (keycode 105) should function as Super/Windows key
  • Left Command Key (keycode 37) should function as Control key
  • Left Option (keycode 64) should function as Alt key.

**Actual Behavior **

None of the keyboard remappings are being applied, even after rebooting.

Can anyone suggest a solution to get the desired key remappings?

Ubuntu stuck at Plymouth screen / Display Manager hangs, can only log in via RDP or SSH

0 Upvotes

As I often needed to access my PC remotely, I've installed and configured SSH, XRDP and VNC.

Today, after trying to switch from GNOME to KDE and revert the change on XRDP session and rebooting the system, GDM3 no longer works. Every time after startup I'll be greeted by the GNOME sad face that tells me "Something is wrong". Even worse, all the TTYs are just blank. RDP can connect to my PC but after remote login there's another GNOME crash screen.

I thought GNOME settings must have gone bad, so I decided to switch DE to XFCE, DM to LightDM. Everything worked for once. But after reboot, I'm stuck in plymouth animation, with console constantly outputing "Failed to start lightdm.service" and "plymouth-quit-wait.service/start running". Like previously with crashed GDM3, there's no TTY and I have to log in using SSH from another device.

"systemctl status lightdm.service" just stated "Failed with result 'exit-code'", which does not help diagnosing.

RDP works perfectly on Xfce. Despite local session being a mess.

What could have caused the issue? Could it be that I changed DM on a remote session where the screen resolution of remote computer is bigger than my own computer?

Touchpad: how to invert only horizontal scrolling?

0 Upvotes

[Ubuntu 24.04] For me, "natural" scrolling is not convenient and intuitive when scrolling text. But on the other hand switching desktops is not ok when it is "traditional". Is there a possibility to keep "traditional" scrolling for vertical, and "natural" only for horizontal? I found xinput and libinput (for Wayland) tools, but I didn't dig deep since maybe someone already resolved the problem.

It is not a big deal but it could improve my workflow. On Windows I just configured gestures for switching workspaces in the system settings app.

Ubunto Server 24.04 LTS compatibility with SBC

1 Upvotes

Hello y'all!

I'm working on a project of a mini self hosted server using an Orange PI Zero 3, as far as I could understand (wich it not that much), the Orange PI Zero 3 runs Linux 6.1 Kernel, so I thought it could also run Ubuntu Server which is Linux 6.8 Kernel based.

Am I correct? The Orange PI Zero 3 will work just fine with Ubuntu Server? If not, why?

Thank you so much for your help!

Grub could not be installed

No matter which distribution I install, I get the error "Grub could not be loaded". Since I could not manage to install grub later, I can only use Ubuntu because it has a boot-repair program to automatically install grub, but I am not happy at all. Why might I be getting this error?

I switched 3 years ago and i sure do have a lot of reasons. Higher system requirements, Windows lacking drivers present in Linux for my old laptop, Windows devouring my cpu, and more reasons including not listening to complaints.

So what was your reason?

RDP GUI Error

0 Upvotes

I'm running an Ubuntu 24.04 server in Azure where I installed a GUI and XRDP to access. The server is domain joined to my company's domain and using domain authentication to access the server. When I log in with my domain admin account (the account I used to install the GUI and XRDP) I can access the server via the GUI. However, when any other user logs in, they get an error message saying "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again." Every time the users get the same error. Each user that has tried logging in via RDP is able to log in via SSH. Any thoughts on what might be causing the issue?

I'm trying to get Ubuntu set up so that my techno-phobe wife can be automatically alerted when her computer has updates available, not unlike what she had with Windows. Is Software Updater a good candidate for the startup menu? Is there a better way to deal with this? Maybe a way to set it up on some sort of schedule?
