I am trying to sudo apt install gcc-multilib in my gcc folder. However, I keep getting ign messages which repeat after ign-62 and go on forever. How do I fix this?
I’ve just install a fresh version of Ubuntu 24.04 on my desktop. I used LVM disk encryption during install. However, I have my data on another drive which I mount as my home directory. This disk is not encrypted so I would like to encrypt it, I really dont know how to proceed ?
I have a dual boot machine which was working ok untila few days ago. Now Ubuntu will not accept keyboard not mouse input on the login screen.
I use rEFind as boot manager. The boot order in BIOS if rEFIND, Windows, Ubuntu. The above happens when I boot Ubuntu from rEFInd. If however I set Ubuntu as the primary boot partition 9ie: boot directly into it) there are no keyboard/mouse issues and all works as expected.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Thanks
When I launch ubuntu root@LAPTOP-2P21LERU:~# this loads up what does this mean?
Hello,
I've been trying to install Ubuntu 24.04, ROCm and Stable diffusion in dual boot with Win11 for the past 3 days and it's been really frustrating 3 days. Today, I though I had finally found a correct approach and it indeed seemed like it, but when I ran:
sudo apt install amdgpu-dkms rocm
and it completed the process, the terminal stopped responding, I could not open any of the apps (terminal, settings, file manager) EXCEPT Firefox (it worked perfectly and fast), forced restart didn't work (it created strange artifacts on the display, then it loaded, but I still couldn't use any of the mentioned apps) and I was forced to reinstall the OS. I tried the same, OFFICIAL approach again and this failure appeared again.
I've been using this guide: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/install/quick-start.html
I have a 7800XT
What should I do ?
Thanks

I have Ubuntu Mate installed on my other computer which doesn't have Wi-Fi built in, to resolve that issue I used a TPLink Archer T2U Plus but sadly its not officially supported so I found a third party driver on a TPLink forum that doesn't seem to work. Wifi now shows up as an option but I can't search for a Wi-Fi Network. Any help?

So context, I am as naive as someone can get when it comes to ubuntu/linux/coding/programming …. So to get into it, i started looking through som courses online and came across a “Programming Basics Course” on a site- edx … there they showed a basic introduction to Ubuntu 914.0 something ) so I thought that i should install it first . Upon searching, came across this guide to install Ubuntu through dual boot on a usb drive - (https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-dual-boot-windows-10-and-ubuntu-linux-dual-booting-tutorial/#heading-how-to-partition-your-hard-drive-for-ubuntu-1) and followed it completely … but upon restarting my laptop, when clicked on “ Use a Device”, it doesn’t show either my usb drive brand name or Ubuntu… only a intel partition something … when I click that, it opens a grub menu which shows a “ Try or Install Ubuntu” option but on selecting, gives - “file /casper/vmlinuz not found”… now after that I resetted my usb drive and tried through dd image and even though it succeeded, it the said that it had problems with Intel IRST and now I am confused beyond belief and need some serious help with this … thanks

After installing Ubuntu as a dual boot OS I noticed that systemd-blame analyze shows that GPU-manager.service takes around 1minute and 30 secs to load, causing me to get stuck on the boot splash screen for ages. Anyone here knows what the cause of this is? Thanks in advance.
Since I had installed whiteSur theme on my Ubuntu, I have been facing an issue where if my laptop goes on sleep and I had toh log in again, 2nd or 3rd time when it happens, I loose functionality of my laptop, I can't open any app or anything and have to restart the laptop to work on it again. Can anyone suggest how can I get rid of this issue.

Hi. I was always wondering, how exactly the Ubuntu images are built for AWS, before being published as AMIs? I know there is the source code for every package, that could be retrieved from deb repos, but the distro build process isn't just a list of packages. This is what I can't find anywhere - what is the process of building the whole Ubuntu OS image for aws? Is this code available, or it lives somewhere in canonical's private spaces?
In simpler words - it it possible to trace back which code produced an AMI, for example "ami-0dc6c2ada4440e798"?
System info: ASUS B450M-A II Prime - AMD Ryzen 7 5700G - 32GB RAM - Linux Mint 22 Wilma.
Issue: monitor and computer won't automatically time out via Power Management settings.
Verified no apps or process inhibiting Suspend.
Also found in a live session of LMDE, Suspend works as it should.
Any ideas?
Good night. I installed Ubuntu 22.04 alongside Windows 11 (the dfault OS of my PC) back in 2022. Now I tried to reuse the same pen drive to install Ubuntu 24.04.1. When I tried to flash the iso into the pen it told me it could not format because the drive was write-protected. However, when I check diskpart in Windows CMD read-only mode is NOT active. Moreover, the pen appeared as unusable and partitioned in two volumes. I tried running among other things to run clean on the pen. It also did not work. I bought a brand new pen drive the same problem is happening. Note that I am using balenaEtcher for the flashing process. I came here because I did not know what else to try. So, I would like to know if someone has a similar experience or some kind of suggestion. Many thanks for considering my request.
Hello! I want to ask you for your help. I was googling and I see that this topic was discussed in several places but all responses sounds pretty crazy for me ...
So, I have a laptop. On the first SSD I have Windows 11 with BitLocker. And I have a nice and fresh second SSD. Windows sees this disk as "Unallocated", so not initialized or anything.
In the Ubuntu 24 installation we have:
- install ubuntu alongside windows
- erase disk and install ubuntu
- manual installation
I of course wanted to go with option 2, but it gives me error about Windows BitLocker. The internet says that I can go with option number 3 to avoid it, but then it seems I won't be able to encrypt the disk.
Do I really have to detach SSD with Windows?
Could I nuke somehow both SSDs and then FIRST install Ubuntu on one SSD(with erase and install Ubuntu) and only after that install Windows on the second one?
Is there a better approach?

Hi, as the title says, I have an Ubuntu server in 22.10 which is not longer in support and I want to upgrade away from this version.
I would like some advice please about what are my options to upgrade from this version. Is it possible to upgrade from 22.10 to 24 LTS?
Edit: many thanks for your input 🙏 and I agreed with all of them, I decided that will do a fresh install on each node with Ubuntu 24.04 as soon as possible. Unfortunately picking up 22.10 was an overlook from my side while installing those two servers, I always use LTS.
it goes boots into grub but when i select ubuntu it prints put some stuff to a console ( the last thing it prints before getting stuck is: [ OK ] Started snapd.service - Snap Daemon. )

Hi,
We have a colleague who needs the following for work:
We want him to use his personal laptop for work (can't give him a separate work laptop). But for certain reasons we aren't able to setup these things (specifically the last 3 in the list) on his existing Windows system. We initially considered dual booting but he has disk space issues.
Is it possible to give him an Ubuntu installation that runs from a USB stick? (Not the installer, but the full OS installed on the stick.) Will the performance be okay or sluggish? We can give him a lightweight text editor (he has no problem with that) but I'm primarily concerned with the performance of the browser, the chat app and the remote desktop client - will they suffer?
Are there any benefits in using a lightweight Ubuntu such as Lubuntu/Xubuntu?
Thanks!
i know absolutely nothing about this side of computers but i do know that im tired of windows and its smothering "assistance" and suggestions etc.
the tutorials are simple enough to follow but there seems to be a steep learning curve here

The script is designed to remove Snap packages and the Snapd service from an Ubuntu system and replace it with Firefox from Mozilla's APT repository.
If I search terminal and click the icon, it doesn't open. If I open file explorer, right click, then click open in terminal, pops up. If I run "sudo gnome-terminal" in it, a new windows pops up. If I don't include sudo, I get this message
#Error constructing proxy for :1.117:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Cannot spawn a message bus when AT_SECURE is set
#Failed to use specified server: Cannot spawn a message bus when AT_SECURE is set

Is Ubuntu 24.04 stable yet? I just accidentally upgraded while trying to fix an issue, and I'm worried I'll have a crazy crash like last time.
This is my Dev laptop for my small business, and I really don't want to lose any data.
A few weeks/months ago I had a crash on all of my machines running 24.04 related to video and it corrupted my entire Ubuntu install. I really don't want to go through that again.
when I run sudo apt update
i get this error messages:

when I pinged 8.8.8.8
to test the internet connection, it pinged successfully. I try to follow this troubleshoot video and at the point, where he runs the commandecho "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
I get this error message :tee: /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
So I went in /etc to see if there was a resolv.conf. It was there but it was red. When i tried to change it with nano, it saidError writing resolv.conf: No such file or directory
how can I fix this? I don't want to try everything blindly because I am running a server and it was a pain setting it up
