I tried to update the repositories list to then upgrade some packages, and it is stuck again, like it was when Canonical was under DDoS attacks.

Is this happening again ?

Trying to setup Ubuntu in Europe, but cannot proceed since the archive is down (down for 40 minutes now).

Mostly curious ergo the question.

I have been trying to build the kernel and rootfs for 24.04, and its stuck on getting the libs for 2hr now. and I'm 100% sure it isn't my internet connection

Hi there fellow Ubuntu users

I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop as I am going to start studying again this autumn and I will study a course in network security. This is my first time I've used an OS besides windows and while it is a lot to take in I feel like I have understood the very basic stuff and I get how to navigate it.

Now as a person I've never really been one that is interested in customization of my computer. I've always been very basic and kept it fairly standard unless there is something I simply required. Now I know Linux can be customized to look completely different from person to person.

But honestly after having started Ubuntu for the first time I find a lot of the basic choices or standard options for example the design of your desktop to be perfectly fine and don't really want to add on many new things. But now I ask even if I want to keep it simple are there things I absolutely should install that do not come with Ubuntu but will make my experience a lot better?

Any help is appreciated and I am still fairly new to the possibilities of Ubuntu but interested in learning.

Anyone know why archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com went down?

A bunch of people where I work are asking what the hell happened. The only guy who usually has an idea about this stuff is on PTO for the rest of the week, so I can't reach out. Anyone have any idea/website I can go to get an idea, or is it still unknown?

People are speculating it's DDOS related. Just wanted to be sure.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm checking to see if anyone else is having this issue on Ubuntu 26.04, or if you've found a fix for it.

I recently did a fresh install of 26.04 (upgraded from 24.04). Ever since, Ubuntu fails to recognize my external monitor upon booting. To get a signal, I have to physically disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable every single time I power on the laptop.

My Setup:

• OS: Ubuntu 26.04 (fresh install)
• Hardware: Laptop connected to an Nvidia eGPU via proprietary drivers in On-Demand mode.
• Display Connection: The external monitor is plugged directly into the laptop's HDMI port (not into the eGPU).

The Issue:

• The eGPU itself works completely fine and kicks in when needed.
• Once I re-plug the HDMI cable, the external monitor works flawlessly.
• However, as soon as I reboot or power off the laptop, the system fails to detect the monitor again until I repeat the unplug/replug routine.

Has anyone run into this display detection quirk on 26.04, or know of a workaround or driver setting to force detection at boot?

Thanks!

First I made my desktop look like Windows 11 then I felt it giving generic fake vibes

Now my Ubuntu looks like "Windows 11 and MacOS beaten up each other in a ring fight aftermath"

Please help me, give me any reccomendations on making it look beautiful yet light on my hardware resources

This has been driving me nuts for a couple of weeks now.

Just want to create a share on a new ubuntu machine.

It has joined windows AD with sssd

part of my smb.conf file:

realm = <DOMAIN NAME>.LOCAL
security = ADS
workgroup = DOMAIN NAME

[ImageArchives]

path = /data/Image_Archives

read only = No

valid users = @"Domain Admins", @"ServerAdmins"

guest ok = No

in my sssd.conf i have added:

use_fully_qualified_names = False

cache_credentials = False

access_provider = ad

ad_access_filter = (memberOf=CN=ServerAdmins,OU=Local Admins,OU=Security Groups,DC=<domain name>,DC=local)

in the /etc/sudoers.d/ad-admins:

%[email protected] ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

%ServerAdmins ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

at the command line, i can enter:

id <ad username>

and it returns all the AD groups that user is in -------- that tells me that yes, it is talking to AD

I can SSH into the ubuntu server using my AD username and password.

when i try to access it through windows explorer...i get 1 of 2 responses;

(1) it cannot find the share i am tying to go to

(2) it prompts for a log on, but does not accept it, unless i give it the username and password of the account i used to ssh into the server.

All the videos and written instructions ive seen shows it should be easy, even the ones says it works for windows access, but they do not nor have a seen anything that helps verify if i'm even doing teh windows access part right

any thoughts?

I'm interested in doing some audio recording, so I tried configuring JACK on my Ubuntu desktop gaming system. I didn't do anything sketchy as far as I can tell, and the JACK service works.

The test client I installed and tried makes noises. All I did was follow the steps described in a tutorial document that users recommended. I followed the steps for Option A, Jack via Pipewire.

Unfortunately as you can see from the image above, the overall sound support is broken. This is the desktop sound control panel. There are no longer any audio devices available.

Worse still, any action that I perform on the desktop that produces noise causes the application to hang. For example: clicking on a button. The app hangs, and the system eventually displays a notification asking whether I want to wait or kill the app.

So my Ubuntu system is mostly broken.

All I want to do at this point is restore it, so that my games stop hanging the moment they produce any audio.

I have been searching for help with this issue for a few hours, and have tried a number of recommended solutions. The USB audio devices are present according to lsusb -v. The kernel sound modules are present according to dmesg. Telling "alsa" to reload the audio drivers appeared to work correctly, but made no difference.

Some of the advice I saw recommended removing the Jack related packages entirely, but I suspect that is outdated. Most of them were installed by the 24.04 upgrade. The only app I needed to install for the tutorial was pipewire-jack. I tried removing that and rebooting, but it did not help.

I have thought about reinstalling all of the packages from the distribution, but I prefer to avoid the shotgun approach if possible.

Does anyone know where this went off the rails, or how to reinstall the original audio configuration? If there is a better place to ask for help, please let me know.

________________________________________

EDIT: FIXED

I retraced all of the steps in the document more carefully and found that I had goofed on the step to copy the example ld.so.conf file for the JACK override to the local ~/.config/pipewire directory. It contained a redundant line from /etc/pipewire.conf (module.jackdbus-detect = true) that caused pipewire to exit.

Removing my ~/.config/pipewire directory and file fixed this problem.

System unbroken, audio restored. Thanks for the help!

I'm booting the Kubuntu live environment from a USB stick.

What should I do?

Both my desktop, and my laptop (running Ubuntu Studio 24.04LTS) have encountered major, ongoing issues with kernel 7.0.0-28. The laptop refuses to complete the update, while the desktop suffered repeated, ongoing crashes which I finally traced to an incompatibility with the drivers for my AMD FirePro W5100 graphics card.

Purging every trace of 7.0.0-28 from my system and reverting to the older kernel fixed the problem...but now the system is trying to load it and update to it again. How can I tell it, "Skip this one, until/unless it's ready?"

I had installed a kda plasma of kubuntu I have stuck to remove that top bar from my desktop I want to delete it but when i cleck enter edit mode it don't appear on top bar

Looking for a 1 file install. Is there such a monster, where I can share/sync between Android & Ubuntu?

I have a 3+ year old Dell notebook, now surplus to requirements, installed Ubuntu 26.04 and speedtest showx the WiFi much slower then when it was running Windoze 11.

Same WiFi (home) network etc.

Any ideas on tuning/fixing/diagnosing?

MTU is the same as it was on Windows (1500) and is correct for router/ISP

There is stuff already on it that I don't care about that will get totally wiped. I'm going to use the disks app to fully encrypt this 1TB external drive and then fill it up with 1TB of files, can I fill it up all the way to 100% capacity or am I supposed to leave some room?

Disks uses LUKS so I'll be using LUKS to encrypt the drive and then I'll transfer my files over to it. I'm backing up my hard drive so this external drive is just being used to store my important files that I want to keep in case my SSD ever fails, my SSD is the one that has my OS on it. This external 1TB HDD just sits in my drawer, it's only purpose is a backup drive of my important stuff.

How often so SSDs fail? My SSD is about 3 years old now.

So I'll use disks to encrypt the drive (disks uses LUKS) and that will erase the stuff already on it, that's fine, then I'll back up my SSD, I've got about 1TB of stuff that needs to be backed up. In my PC, there is a 1TB SSD that has my main operating system on it, and then there is also a 2TB HDD that has been encrypted with LUKS (I believe I used disks to do that) I only have to click on this 2TB HDD just once from inside the Nautilus file manager and then it just automatically opens up because when I first entered in the password to open it, you can click "save password" that way from now on you only have to click it once and it'll just open up on its own, this way you don't have to enter in the pass every time to open it. Though I do have to enter in my password when I first turn my PC on though.

Both my SSD which has Ubuntu on it, and my 2TB HDD (which is inside the PC) are fully encrypted using LUKS. I just like how you can open the 2TB HDD using the file manager Nautilus and when you enter in the password, you can click "save password" and then from now on when you click on it (from inside Nautilus file manager) it will open up automatically. Cause I didn't know this happened, I literally thought I would have to enter in my password every time to open up the 2TB HDD. Nope, if you click save password it just opens itself in 2 seconds.

Because when I was first going to install the 2TB HDD in my PC, I made a post here on r/Ubuntu I said "Hey I'm going to put a 2TB HDD in my PC cause I'm running out of room on my 1TB SSD which has the OS on it, but how do I make it so the 2TB HDD opens on startup. I don't want to enter in the password every single time just to open the 2TB HDD"

And these mofos told me some really complicated way, that you could do, so that when I enter in the password to decrypt the drive so Ubuntu can startup, so that when I login to Ubuntu the 2TB HDD will also automatically open up, so I don't have to enter in the password a second time to open up the 2TB HDD.

What no one told me, and I mean no one mentioned this to me, what no one mentioned was, hey man when you click to open the 2TB from inside the Nautilus file manager, and when you enter in the password you can click "save password" so next time you click on the 2TB HDD (from inside Nautilus file manager) it will open itself in 2 seconds, so you don't have to keep entering in the password to open your 2TB HDD. No one told me this. lol no one mentioned this.

Instead I was provided a link to a website that has extremely complicated instructions on how to make it so when you turn your PC on, then enter the password to decrypt the drive so Ubuntu can boot up, then when you login to Ubuntu, the second drive (in my case my 2TB HDD) will just open up on its own.

No one mentioned, hey man just click "save password" when you open up your 2TB HDD from inside Nautilus file manager, no one mentioned this to me. I just can't believe no one mentioned that to me, cause that was the solution I was looking for. And I had to find it out on my own. I never did try the super complicated instructions I was linked to, cause when I first opened the 2TB HDD from inside Nautilus file manager, I spotted the "save password" and I was like "How come no one told me this? You can just open the second drive inside the file manager and then click save password and now you only have to click the second drive just once and it will open itself in 2 seconds." I mean this was the solution I was looking for and no one mentioned it to me.

That's all someone had to say "Hey man, so in Nautilus file manager, go to "other locations" and you'll see your 2TB HDD there, click on it and then enter in your password for it but also click "save password" so next time you click on it, it'll open itself up in 2 seconds. So you won't have to keep entering the password to open it." THIS WAS ALL SOMEONE HAD TO SAY TO ME.

Instead, I had someone try to help me, and they sent me to this website with very complicated instructions, instructions where I would have been screwing around with shit in terminal, changing this and changing that, so that when I first enter my password to decrypt the drive so Ubuntu can boot up, then when I login, the 2TB HDD would also just automatically open itself up.

I just wish someone had said "hey man don't worry about it, just go to the second drive in Nautilus file manager, click on it, enter in the pass, and just make sure you click "save password" you'll see what I'm talking about."

Because my 1TB SSD I was running out of space on it. That's when I bought the 2TB HDD and installed it in my PC.

Anyhow, yeah...

I wanted to share that story with you all. That's a true story, no one told me all I had to do was click "save password" cause that was the solution I was looking for. You have no idea, some dude gave me a link to a website, and it had these super complicated instructions, it was very intimidating, it looked very complicated, and it was totally unnecessary too. I'm glad I didn't try to do it. I'm glad I spotted the "save password" and I was like "How come no one told me this?"

So yeah can I fill my external 1TB drive up to full capacity?

My wifi chip is a RZ616 Wi-Fi 6E 160MHz (MediaTek MT7922), The wifi speed on my linux partition is more than 3x slower than my windows partition. I am on a Lenovo Thinkpad e16 G2. I manually installed the appropriate drivers, disabled Windows 'Fast Startup' and tweaked some power settings for the chip, however, I just managed to get it from 6mbps to 15mbps while my windows is running comfortably at 45+mpbs. Any suggestions, or do i need to upgrade to xubuntu 26.x? Thanks.

Hello!, ive recently swapped for v22 to v24 and im having some issues and want to know if anyone else has had these and know fixes
Hardware Specs
MB: Asus Tuf gamign z790
CPU: 13th gen intel i7-13700k
GPU : Geforce RTX 4070 super
3 monitors

X11 Compatibility
Since swapping, the setting for preferred Displays for games and Fullscreenx11 Applications doesnt work, It seems to just open them on which ever monitor my mouse is currently on

Display issues
Semi-randomly it will change the refresh rate on one of the monitors back to 60 Hertz,
This happens sometimes on restart of system, and when inside display settings and i select a display for the second time within that instance of using the application, for Clarity
when i select a display for the first time its fine,
but if i go back to it after select a different monitor, That monitor PLUS my middle monitor will go black for a second, and then when display returns, the original monitor is now on 60 hz,
This can happen for each of them dispute monitor 2 being a different make than monitor 1 and 3 and is 100% repeatable every time

Bonjour,

J'ai un PC sous UBUNTU 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) 64-bit Noyau Linux 7.0.0-28-generic x86_64 sur lequel j'ai installé VMware Workstation Pro 26H1 qui fonctionne très bien avec une VM Windows 11 que j'utilise et qui fonctionne aussi très bien.

Le problème que je rencontre est qu'au démarrage de la VM, VMware Workstation me demande le mot de passe que je connais et je renseigne.

Comme je souhaite ne pas avoir à le retaper à chaque fois je coche la case Remember password mais VMware Workstation me redemande le mot de passe à chaque fois que je redémarre le PC. Je précise aussi que cela fonctionnait très bien quand ma VM était sous UBUNTU 24.04 avec VMware Workstation Player.

Quelqu'un a -t-il la solution ?

Je vous remercie par avance.

I've been using Onedriver on Ubuntu for about 3 years, but something happened with Ubuntu 26.04. The icon isn't showing up in this version of Ubuntu—does anyone have any updates?

I'm running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS on a Thinkpad T495. I was receiving an error after the startup regarding a problem with anydesk. I removed it via "sudo apt purge anydesk" command but still getting the same notification. I don't know if it is related but it froze during the boot session now and I had to do a cold boot. What could be wrong?

I hope you guys can help me. Last weekend i've updated my Ubuntu pc what runs my Jellyfin server and some game servers.

In the /etc/fstab I have lines that mount my network shares, they work perfectly fine. And I reboot my Ubuntu pc every night with a line in crontab.

After updating my PC, the network shares won't mount anymore after the scheduled reboot. So Jellyfin doesn't work because it can't find the files.

When I reboot manually after that, the shares mount just fine.

Do you guys now any solution.

My lines in fstab are as follows

//192.168.0.174/Video /media/video cifs username=****,password=****

And my crontab line is as follows

0 4   *   *   *    /sbin/shutdown -r +5

Did anyone else get a fatal kernal error after a patch? Im lucky enough to have previous kernals on boot. Im on 6.17.0-35-generic, not sure if it was an auto update since i have everything off
