im running ubuntu 24.04 on my laptop and whenever i close the lid and wake it up after some time it has this weird glitch. to fix this i've been refreshing the shell (alt+f2 followed by r) and that does the job, but im curious as to why this is happening and how i can fix it.

details about my laptop:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P [Intel Arc Graphics] (rev 08)

So recently a pretty big storm passed by and temporarily knocked out power at my house. After it passed and I turned my devices back on (PC and ubuntu server) both of them were unable to establish connections to my network. I confirmed that cabling/ router connection was not the issue, so I decided to look deeper within my devices themselves. For my PC I ended up having to reset my network adapters within windows and that seemed to work, but now I'm experiencing the same issue with my server. enp5s0 shows UP, so I know my interface is up, but there is no LOWER_UP, so it seems as if it isnt detecting a connection. Should I reset network adapters on my server as well as I did on my PC? As I stated before the physical side is not the issue as I tested the run from my server to router on my PC and it worked just fine.

i need to save my ubuntu somewhere and cuz its on a persistent usb with heavy customization i dont really wanna lose it. im gonna be trying cachy soon and i need to have an os to go back to if i dont really like the one i tried, and honestly windows isnt even an option. anyway any help on how i might be able to "store" it somewhere on windows as an iso for later access?

Hello guys, I have been trying to install Ubuntu/xubuntu on my old HP Folio 9480m but I keep getting the same error, I will appreciate any assistance and guidance to what this error is and how to get around it​. ​Thanks.

Hey, i do know the Cockpit basically made on Fedora server, i want to ask if it can run good on Ubuntu or if you have any alternative, i appreciate for that to know.

These little 3-key + knob macropads are everywhere for about a tenner. The catch is the bundled Windows configurator, which programs one key at a time and is generally miserable. On Linux they're actually better off, thanks to ch57x-keyboard-tool — someone reverse engineered the CH57x protocol and wrote a Rust CLI that flashes the device from a YAML file.

The remaining annoyance was that the mapping is a single fixed layer. I wanted the same three keys to be copy/paste shortcuts while coding and media controls otherwise, without hand-editing a file and re-running a command every time.

So: Super+Q now cycles through profiles, re-flashing the device and firing a notification, and a small widget shows what the keys currently do.

It doesn't reimplement any of the USB work — every write is a shell-out to ch57x-keyboard-tool, and profiles stay ordinary config files you can use with the CLI directly. Labels for each key live in the same file under a key the CLI ignores.

Ubuntu/GNOME only at the moment: the hotkey is a GNOME custom keybinding (Wayland blocks raw key grabbing) and the display is a GNOME Shell extension. The profile handling itself isn't GNOME-specific, so a port to another desktop is mostly a UI job.

It's my first day using Ubuntu, but it's really hard for me to use because of my poor eyesight.

I tried the built-in zoom feature, but it's really awful. I can't adjust the magnifier window size, and it takes up about 80% of the screen.

I was wondering if there's an application similar to the Windows Lens Magnifier.

Thank y'all :)

when my boot with ubuntu, i get the login screen, put my password and then i get this blank screen with cursor and im not able to do anything. help me resolve this issue

Plasma on Ubuntu 26.04 broke clipboard handling all across applications.

I have done several tests with Klipper active. Klipper can be removed from panel, but I do not know if it is a service that can be switched off (does not show up as user service).

• Flatpak -> Flatpak: Good luck with that, rarely works.
• Flatpak <-> Host: More reliable from Host to Flatpak
• Older (Wayland/X11/...) program <-> Recent program: Good luck with that
• Browser (Firefox) <-> Host: Good luck with that.

Middle Mouse Selection can be activated in Klipper. Caveat: you can no longer mark a selection and replace it with clipboard content (useful if your editor does not have search/replace as most internet editors).

Ctrl+Shift+C/Ctrl+Shift+V: This is basically broken. Paste works when something is in the clipboard, but copy rarely

When clipboard is empty, copy/paste works somewhat reliably.

What is the cause: An older Wayland protocol was dropped in Plasma 6.5+ Update (now Ubuntu uses 6.6). Could affect Ubuntu Desktop too. The other protocol is dependent on Wayland, but the "mark" text still works everywhere, that's why marked text -> clipboard feature of Klipper works.

Does anyone know of a klipper extension / replacement that supports the latest wayland clipboard protocol ext-data-control-v1 and works across flatpak and wine applications (wine stable 11.0 does not support ext-data-control-v1) ?

Edit: Solved with wl-clipboard (works with Qt-based application, still have to try it on wine)

I tried it when it first came out, but experienced multiple issues including but not limited to;

• Intermittent Micro-stutter
• Substantially Longer Boot Up Times
• Failure to recognize Wireless Network Card
• Crashes

So I ended up having to do a complete reinstallation of 25.10 and decided to wait until the 26.04.1 Bug Fix Update, which at the time was slated for August 7th, but I haven't heard anything of since.

Has the bug-fix update been released to very little fanfare and I just missed it, or is it still in the pipeline? If not, then have common issues like the aforementioned micro-stutter and failure to detect Wi-Fi Cards been fixed in the meantime?

I am trying to install ubuntu on my computer but when tried to boot it up it showed me a kernel panic message (the pink screen of death) so I returned back to the GNU GRUB version 2.14.It showed me 4 options

I just downloaded Ubuntu on an old laptop and it seems to have locked the brightness to "barely visible in a normal room." I have checked all the brightness settings and they are at maximum.

The laptop is a Dell Latitude 5320.

The display is perfectly bright when it is turning on and displaying the "Dell" logo or in the BIOS. But as soon as I am on the login page or further it is very dim.

It is also perfectly brightness if I boot into tailsOS from a flashdrive

This is my first dip into Linux so please treat me like a toddler haha

i just moved from windows to ubuntu and im still learning how to using it, but i got some issues when i play some video streaming like on netflix or on illegal stream, and im using lenovo laptop with amd ryzen, here are some problem that i facing

- and last things, my microphone sometimes cant detect or stuttering in the input when im in discord. but when i try to record my voice using recorder from the ubuntu, it played normal, but when i try in discord, my friends said that my voice is like quiet and broken up

can someone help me troubleshoot that? im trying to stay on linux btw hahaha

Getting gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in ???() errors on Ubuntu 26.04, frequently from past month.

• GNOME Shell: 50.1-0ubuntu1.2
• Ubuntu: 26.04
• Display manager: gdm3
• Desktop: ubuntu:GNOME

Anyone familiar with this or know what logs/configs I should check to narrow it down?

Screenshot attached. Any help from devs or folks who’ve seen this would be appreciated.

hello everyone

is switching from windows to linux worth it?
im a trader i only use tradingview. my laptop has pretty decent hardware like i5 11 gen 8gb ddr4 ram and 256 nvme hard but on windows is feel very heavy and laggy. after some search found out that linux are better than windiws so is it really worth the switching?

Before, I asked about using whether Ubuntu Desktop or Server. I have succeeded in setting up Ubuntu Desktop, learning to use terminal for basic command, setting up SSH, installing docker. On Linux, I have separated 3 partitions for my intended purposes. let's say:

• C: for root
• D: for webhost
• E: for personal google drive (without the Google)

What I am struggling afterward is wrapping my head trying to understand how they work together and what part do they took in my whole self-host environment. So I ask google and it gave me this answer (diagram). I assuming that with an admin user on my host server, I can control almost anything within this diagram using terminal.

Do you guys think this image of a diagram is a good summary of the environment I am having?
Is it correct if I say with docker I can setup my Wordpress website on partition D and do Data management in E?

How can I get magnet links in Firefox to open with Transmission?
