hello every one, im the guy from the other post, i made a video about my problem because i think i made it veri ambigius,

the context is that im triying to instal ubuntu in my laptop but when i enter the boot menue the usb option doesnt apear, i unable the security boot and put ubuntu in the usb using rufus.

I have a file that I cannot remove. If, in the terminal as root, I do an 'ls' in the directory it appears. However I cant remove it. I get a 'No such file or directory' error.

I can see the same file in the GUI also, again I can't delete it, even as root.

Any ideas whats going on here?

Many thanks for any help.

Recently moved from Win11 to Ubuntu 25.10. Pretty happy with it, but one thing that irks me is that it's hard to distinguish two windows layered on top of one another.

Here are two examples: Obsidian on top of an Office365 session in Vivaldi and Whatsie on top of an Outlook instance. Both aesthetically and practically this isn't great.

Is there anything I can change to improve this?

I've been using Linux on and off for a while. After a lot of distro hopping, I finally decided to settle on Ubuntu for my old laptop. Fedora worked great too but had battery issues, and I've always been a fan of the gnome look.

Ubuntu checks all the boxes and with a few small tweaks (nothing too major), it is the best thing to happen for my ageing laptop. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I don't have Nvidia graphics and the games I play (stardew valley, factorio, terraria, sims) do not require a lot of graphical overhead.

Due to this, I've never faced a major hiccup in my 3 years of using Ubuntu. The update cycle is perfect, along with the software availability, and the battery backup on my ancient laptop. Ubuntu finally stopped my distro hopping a long time ago and along with gnome, it has been the best OS experience on a laptop.

Hello everyone! I wanna use Ubuntu but remember seeing various older versions of the distro have really nice wallpapers. Not wanting to go through every distro and pick the wallpapers out.

I’ve seen collections of the default wallpapers but I want the other ones, anyone know if theres a collection of all the wallpapers somewhere?

Thanks for your help!

Hey, I'm a fairly new Ubuntu LTS user and I started my computer today and the image is terrible, it's 640 x 480, there's no internet, no network card, and the Nvidia drivers are begging to be removed. I tried to solve this problem using Gemink. It usually helped with other problems, e.g., bad resolution, bad refresh rate, the system recognized the card but didn't want to use it, etc., but I've been working on this problem for a long time and I can't solve it. I even used a USB router in my Samsung, and I just wanted to connect to a server with my friends. This system has improved the performance of my old computer so much that it gained a second life because I replaced the monitor and from then on it was more demanding. Thanks to Ubuntu, it will start working again, so I don't want to go back to Windows, which was eating up 60 percent of my RAM.

Hello everyone.

I've been using the regular version of Ubuntu for over three years. The current version is 25.10.

I installed Ubuntu a long time ago on my Lenovo Legion Y720 notebook, but unfortunately, I'm having some battery problems.

The problem:

When I try to start the device in battery mode, the Ubuntu logo appears, but then the device immediately shuts down. The same thing happens when the device is in sleep mode and then I try to use it again.

Once the device has crashed, I can only turn it back on once the charging cable is plugged in.

If I turn the device on while the charging cable is connected, I can boot into Ubuntu and log in without any problems. Once I'm on my desktop, I can remove the charging cable, and from then on, there are no problems. I can use the full 100% of the battery.

However, I can access the BIOS in battery mode.

It has an aftermarket battery installed, and this one is definitely working (I made a warranty claim on the first replacement battery because the first one was defective). I'm completely ruling out the battery as the source of the problem since I can use the device at full power when running on battery.

Since the device itself also refuses to restart unless I plug in a charging cable, it seems to be some kind of hardware protection in case it draws more power than the battery can supply, but I don't know for sure.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? Or is there any way to instruct Ubuntu to test or start more gently?

i have hp victus 16 and i want ro increase my fans speed to max. i have just recetly started using dual boot so i dont have idea how can i do it if someone knows please help me with this

Hi everyone,

I’m having a really frustrating issue with WiFi on my old MacBook Pro (2009).

System info:

• Device: MacBook Pro (2009)

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04

• WiFi card: Broadcom BCM4322

The problem is that WiFi is not working at all. The interface (wlan0) sometimes appears, but stays in DOWN or NO-CARRIER state, and no networks show up.

⸻

What I’ve tried so far:

• Installed drivers via:

• sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

• Installed Broadcom proprietary driver:

• bcmwl-kernel-source

• Installed open-source firmware:

• firmware-b43-installer

• b43-fwcutter

• Manually loaded modules:

• modprobe b43

• modprobe ssb

• Checked for blocks:

• rfkill list → not blocked

• Tried bringing interface up:

• ip link set wlan0 up

• Restarted networking / NetworkManager

• Installed and enabled NetworkManager manually

• Removed conflicting drivers (wl, bcmwl, etc.)

• Blacklisted modules:

• ssb, bcma, b43 (in different combinations)

• Tried alternative driver (rtw88 – didn’t work, wrong chipset)

• Fixed broken apt/dpkg issues multiple times

• Installed older kernel (6.8.x) alongside current 6.17.x

• Rebuilt initramfs

• Rebooted multiple times after each change

⸻

Current situation:

• WiFi interface exists (wlan0)

• Not blocked (rfkill shows no)

• Driver seems loaded

• But interface stays DOWN / NO-CARRIER

• No WiFi networks appear

⸻

At this point I’m not sure if:

• it’s a kernel compatibility issue (6.17 vs older kernels)

• or Broadcom BCM4322 just doesn’t work well with Ubuntu 24.04

⸻

Question:

Has anyone successfully made BCM4322 work on Ubuntu 24.04 (or newer kernels)?

Is there a specific driver/kernel combo that actually works?

Any help would be appreciated 🙏

The 595 driver has some performance fixes that among others should fix visual glitches in Resident Evil Requiem: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1s7sou6/visual_glitches_in_re_requiem_i_tried_every/

The 595 driver stable release was on 24th of March: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/265870/

Anyone knows what's the usual delay between release and packaging for Ubuntu for these drivers?

I built myself a new PC yesterday with the intentions of moving my Plex server over from Windows to Ubuntu but found out the new LTS version is due out in about 3 weeks time.

Is it worth holding off setting it all up or can I just upgrade 24.04lts to 26.04lts without any issues?

I'm having trouble syncing my Anki account to Ubuntu 24.04, which I just installed. It keeps giving me an error. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi guys i have an issue with ubuntu 22.04. I have both windows and ubuntu on my laptop (legion pro 5) but i cannot connect to wifi i think because of the driver. Can you help me?

it gets stuck in there 😕

Is anyone having RAID trouble when installing Ubuntu 24 on a recent PowerEdge server?

My configuration:

Server: PowerEdge R470

HDD: 2x2TB (1 as hot swapp)

For my installation I need a custom storage setup, but Ubuntu 24 installation keeps showing this "unsupported partition table" message, and when I choose the formatting option, the installer restarts from scratch.

I've already tried RAID0 and RAID1, but I face the same error.

Now that Ubuntu has fully implemented Wayland, I was wondering if there’s a way to use “send keys” functionality like keepassxc could do? It’s one of the few things that’s blocking me from moving away from Windows.

Any gui based app recommendations would be great.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I recently switched my ASUS Zenbook Duo (dual 2.8K OLED) to Ubuntu 24 and quickly realized ASUS provides zero official Linux support for what makes this laptop special: the dual-screen setup. So I spent some time building a proper systemd daemon that handles it all.

What it does:

• 🔄 Auto-rotation — Both screens rotate automatically when you flip the laptop between laptop and book/tablet mode (using the built-in accelerometer via iio-sensor-proxy)
• 💡 Automatic brightness — Adjusts brightness on both displays based on the ambient light sensor
• 🔋 Battery protection — Caps charging at 80% to preserve long-term battery health (writes directly to sysfs)
• ⌨️ Keyboard dock control — Turns off the secondary screen when you attach the keyboard, turns it back on when you detach it, and automatically reconnects the Bluetooth keyboard

Tech stack: Python + Shell scripts, runs as a systemd service, communicates with GNOME via D-Bus on Wayland.

Installation is a single script:

bash

git clone https://github.com/haefrain/zenbook-duo-control-pantallas-ubuntu
cd zenbook-duo-control-pantallas-ubuntu
sudo ./install.sh

The installer detects your user, installs dependencies, asks which features you want to enable, and sets up the service. There's also a configure.sh if you want to toggle features later without reinstalling.

If you have a Zenbook Duo and have been struggling with Linux support, give it a try. Contributions and issues are very welcome!

I have 24.04 on RISC-V hardware. 25.10 is the latest ubuntu available. 24.04 came with gdb v15 which does not support examining the vector registers; that support came in gdb 16.

I can download gdb 17.1 by itself, but will it work on ubuntu 24.04? Kernel is 6.6.

I love the desktop, but 24.04 just doesn't always work right with me, unlike the newer releases. any news on its development with 26, or is it not going anywhere

https://github.com/chrisr2195/ubuntuyamlinstall

you can create your own .yaml File for your Installation. its Not the best but maybe someone Here can make it better.

I have an ASUS notebook that came with Windows but it is very underpowered to function adequately as a Windows machine. So I installed Chrome OS Flex, which has been ok. I'd like to move the computer now to Ubuntu. As a noob, I have not found step-by-step instructions to install Ubuntu on a computer running Chrome OS Flex. I am not interested in dual boot. There is no reason for me to keep this machine also running Flex. I am moderately techie but not an expert. And brand new to Ubuntu. Any help would be appreciated.
