Basically the title. I tried doing it thru tweaks app, but there eas only to choose between dark or light mode and to change accent colour. Are there more themes built in, or is that it?

Also, i wanted to make ubuntu (24.04) look like 14.04 if possible, mainly the titlebar. Thanks in advance.

I want to buy a workstation for AI modeling stuff and therefore need CUDA etc but Dell's web site has this warning about running Ubuntu Linux with CUDA. Is this for real or just that they couldn't be bothered to make it work with out-of-the-box OEM Ubuntu?

Hi all,

Could someone help me how on earth I could install ubuntu 24.04.1 properly on this prebuilt PC?

No matter what I tried to do, every time after the installation is completed I got the error that no boot device is available and during the boot process the splash screen shows that the boot is protected by HP sure boot, what I already turned off from bios.

Also when I just try to run the installer normally it crashes randomly, only when I try to install it from the safe graphics option I can finish the setup.

Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

https://github.com/c0zaut/RKLLM-Gradio

I found a cool project for my orange pi but this could be used on any RK3588 chipset board. I tried the LLMs out and they aren’t the best but they aren’t bad and they are free. Anyways, I was trying to setup the machine (orange Pi 5 Pro running Ubuntu server 22.04) to be a static IP address and to run the .py script on startup and I messed something up. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on terminal commands to 1. Make the server auto login. 2. Set a static IP address. 3. make the .py script run

Any help is much appreciated.

Had applied for software engineering role, I am from India, got response from recruiter requesting a written interview to be submitted as essay in PDF, that was fun actually, while most points had to revolve around how you were top of your school and very academically strong and stuff.

After that I received Psychometric Test link from Thomas GIA, I completed it, I don't know what criteria is, it was quite brain damaging, if someone is doing it very well they definitely have something inherent which you can't train for.

Yet to receive the result but I can only imagine what expectations would be if I somehow get the interview, and what would be expectation at job, process is similar to Quants it seems.

I bought a new pc , i installed windows and ubuntu in 2 ssds. Ethernet and wifi works great on windows but not in ubuntu. In the installion every option for internet was gray and i could not select it . After installing i have neither ethernet or wifi. I tried installing the ethernet drivers manually but i dont have the make package . I tried installing make manually but i dont have gcc . I tried install build essentials deb package but i also dont have gcc and g++. What can i do?

Motherboard : msi pro x870 p wifi Ubuntu : 24.04 LTS

I've set up an old desktop as an headless Ubuntu Server. Since I don't have the need to have it running 24/7, I shut it down daily. The machine is placed in a cabinet which is a little out of sight, and somewhat hard to reach, so I shut it down via CLI or via a script in Home Assistant.

The command is the same every time: "sudo shutdown now", both when typing it in manually and via script in Home Assistant.

Usually, when running "sudo shutdown now", the machine shuts down completely (as intended), but SOMETIMES it instead goes into sleep.

When this happens... Wake on LAN does not work, and the only way for me to turn it back on again is to hold down the power button until it complely shuts down, wait a couple of seconds and then push the power button again. This is annoying. Wake on LAN works fine when the machine is completely powered down, but evidently not when the machine is in sleep mode.

I have disabled sleep and hibernate (se config below).

I'm at a loss as to why this happens, and would appreciate help in diagnosing and fixing the problem.

Without any proof, I suspect that one of the docker containers is the culprit.

Hardware:

• CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz
• GPU: No dedicated GPU, just the one integrated on the CPU
• Motherboard: LENOVO 3102
• RAM: 16 GB
• Storage: 100 GB SSD for system/programs, 2 TB HDD for storage
• NIC: just the one on the motherboard (RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller)

Software:

• OS: Ubuntu Server 24.04.1 LTS
• Casa OS, with the following containers:
  • Plex
  • Radarr
  • Sonarr
  • Transmission
  • Jackett

Relevant configuration:

In /etc/systemd/logind.conf, I've added the following lines:

• HandleSuspendKey=ignore
• HandleHibernateKey=ignore

(these are the only uncommented lines in this config file)

Norwegian is my first language, sorry for perhaps bad english grammar.

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to get Ubuntu installed on an HP ZBook Fury 15 G7 Mobile Workstation.

It has a completely broken display. So I rely on an external monitor. Windows works fine. With Ubuntu, the external display works fine during boot and shutdown. I'm able to install without issues too as the live disk OS too works fine on external display. But after installation when the OS boots from disk the external display is either blank (ubuntu budgie) or completely white with the mouse cursor alone showing up (on Vanilla Ubuntu).

I checked in the live OS in the additional drivers tab that the NVIDIA drivers weren't in use. So I installed the OS with third-party driver enabled and disabled and in both cases it just won't work. Any tips?

When I switch an input language via keyboard shortcuts, ubuntu occasionally changes selected window.

For instance, I'm in slack or in my editor typing something and I'm switching to another language while having Yakuake or Spotify mini-player opened, ubuntu changes my language while focusing on another app, so I have to manually select the first app to proceed typing.

Is this behavior expected and can I change it to preserve input source?

Deb versions of same apps do work. For me its Krita and Foliate. The Foliate snap has a lot of upvotes; probably from older versions. Is this only me?

Hi, a program I want to run in an apptainer requires the renderD128 device. The device is in the rdma group and not the video or render group for some reason and I have not installed it there. Just to experiment I set the permissions to 666 but my apptainer still can't access and returns a permission denied.

I find this behaviour quite odd, can anyone guide me on how I can resolve it?

For the love of God how do i add freaking shortcuts to the desktop.

I tried every single method on the internet, and either the methods are outdated or they simply don't work.

I first used manjaro, i tought it was really cool that you could have a animation when your pc is starting and logging into your user, there's any way i can get those animations here on ubuntu?

Hello, I'm writing this post to see if someone knows what is happening with my setup. I have a beelink SER8 with Ubuntu as the main boot partition and windows on a separate harddrive. One day I had a windows update and I failed to boot back into windows through grub so it went straight to Ubuntu, but that resulted in Ubuntu failing to interact with the network device exactly as mentioned in thos post. I went through and updated windows again but this time booted into windows after the update and the issue was fixed.

After a while, I booted the computer into Ubuntu and found out that the Bluetooth device stopped working. I have never booted into windows since the first incident so I was surprised as to why this happened. Again I booted into windows, updated it and then the issue was fixed. To fix the issue though I had to wait like 5 minutes after shutting down windows before booting Ubuntu for sorn reason.

I should mention that the built-in Wifi and Bluetooth devices do show up if I do lspci, but the wireless device doesn't show up with "ip a" and in the wifi settings for example. I have secure boot disabled in the BIOS settings.

I was wondering if anybody faced a similar problem or knows why this is happening. Of course the issue can be fixed with updating windows, but I'm afraid that this would happen at a time when there aren't any updates pending forcing me to wait.

Home network of machines all on pro Windows versions and a laptop on current Ubuntu version. File browsing shows on the Ubuntu laptop "Failed to retrieve share list from server: Permission denied" from the Win 7 machine which can be seen and explored from any other Win machine on the network. Curiously, the Ubuntu laptop CAN access other Win machine files on the network successfully. Also, the Win 7 machine can not access the Ubuntu share on the laptop. Where do I go from here with the Win 7 machine, which is the most important? I want to be able to move image files between it and the Ubuntu laptop.

It looks like someone is connecting to me? I click on it, it goes away and tells me nothing. Kind of creepy to be honest.

I accidentally deleted the 'downloads' folder, and empied the trash (LoL),

I created a new folder, named it downloads, but the system does not use it as such.

Somewhere In KDE settings you can re-asign destination folders, but I don't know how to do it on Gnome.

Someone else have made se same sillines? how did you fix it?

Thanks.

Under Drive Properties > Partition Scheme, I've chosen GPT. Since my ssd's are new and I've check them in disk manager, under properties, and it says GPT. Under Format Options > File System the default is FAT32, should I change this to NTFS or leave it as the default?

Hola, tengo un problema en cuanto mi ubuntu 22.04, el tema es la terminal... No funciona, puede abra la terminal, pero eso es todo, se queda ahi en negro, no me deja escribir nada....

Necesito ayuda por favor....

Hello, Sorry in advance for all the questions packed into this post. I'm excited about starting to use Ubuntu and I want to make sure my install goes smoothly.

I'm building a computer for the first time and I want to dual boot windows 11 and Ubuntu on two separate nvme SSDs. My understanding for the order of installation in order to prevent issues with the EFI partitions is to:

1. Install the drive I want to put windows 11 onto without having the drive I want to put Ubuntu onto installed.
2. Install windows 11 as normal and ensure it works.
3. Set the UEFI setting: Disable Secure Boot
4. Uninstall the windows 11 drive and install the Ubuntu drive (into a different m.2 slot from where I want my windows drive to live).
5. Install Ubuntu and ensure it's working properly.
6. Reinstall the windows 11 drive and check that all is working as intended between the 2 os's.

My questions are:

1. Am I missing anything I need to do in UEFI/Windows before installing Ubuntu? For example, should fast boot be disabled as well?

2. Is it really necessary to uninstall the windows os drive before installing the Ubuntu drive? I've seen conflicting opinions on this. Those saying that you should uninstall the windows os drive say that by doing so, it makes the Ubuntu installation "idiot proof" so that the windows install doesn't accidentally get overwritten. Also, as I understand it, this creates a second EFI partition on the Ubuntu drive in addition to the EFI partition on the windows drive, so that if the windows drive is removed or disabled, the Ubuntu drive can still boot up. However, I've seen other folks say that having 2 EFI partitions can cause problems. Also, the installation guide on Ubuntu's website for 24.04 LTS (see here) seems to indicate that Ubuntu can be installed alongside Windows OS on a separate drive using the "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" option. What is recommended to ensure windows doesn't mess with the Linux installation?

3. Assuming I should uninstall my windows os drive before installing Ubuntu, I know that the nvme m.2 slots on my MoBo have heat sinks with thermal tape. When installing my windows 11 drive, should I not peel off the plastic thermal tape cover for that slot's heat sink since I'll have to uninstall it when installing Ubuntu, and then when reinstalling the windows 11 drive peel off the thermal tape cover to properly install the heat sink? I want to make sure I won't cause damage to my windows 11 drive when installing windows 11 by having it overheat from not having its heatsink properly installed. Or is the adhesive on the thermal tape not very sticky so that I can peel it off when uninstalling the windows 11 drive and then reapply the tape when reinstalling the windows 11 drive?

4. I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and I know grub is used to choose which os to boot into at startup. How do you configure grub to run properly after both os's are installed? I know it requires some terminal work so I was wondering if there's a step by step guide somewhere, as I haven't been able to find one. Is it as simple as doing "sudo update-grub" in the terminal?

5. Also, in order for grub to show up properly at start up, does the Ubuntu drive have to be set as the first drive in the UEFI boot priority?

Thank you very much and sorry for all the questions!

I updated my Ubuntu 22.04 distro this morning, as the pop-up told me to do, and now my printer isn't recognized. I don't know if the update is the cause, just that it worked before it and not after it. It says "Idle - no destination host found". From searching, this looks like a CUPS issue, and I've never known how to fix those. It is an EPSON XP-4200, and when I initially set it up, I just followed the manufacturer directions and it worked.

I am trying to install a self hosted landscape in my home as I want to test how it will work with my different Ubuntu machines. However, I have a problem. When setting up the landscape server, it is requiring a domain. Since this is on my home network, I don't have a domain. Is there a work-around for this?

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to install the nvme-tcp package on an Ubuntu VM with kernel 5.15.0-1069-kvm.
$ uname -a
Linux dev-node-X 5.15.0-1069-kvm #74-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 18 14:22:54 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The Ubuntu version is 22.04 minimal and the use of these VM is for a kubernetes cluster. I'm trying to install OpenEBS Mayastor storage and one of the prerequisites is to have nvme-tcp installed.

The installation went as expected, but when I use the command sudo modpbobe nvme-tcp the error modprobe: FATAL: Module nvme-tcp not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.0-1069-kvm appears.

Digging on the internet, I only found one post, from this LINK, regarding the problem with this kernel 5.15.0-10XX-kvm, but it didn't work, because the suggestion was to install linux-image-extras, which returns the error E: Unable to locate package linux-image-extras.

Some stupid things I've tried:
- Changing the existing kernel 5.15.0-1069-kvm in GRUB to version 5.15.0-126-generic, but as a noob in this matter I almost destroyed the VM (LOL)
- Copying the folder /lib/modules/5.15.0-126-generic/kernel/drivers/nvme to the folder /lib/modules/5.15.0-1069-kvm/kernel/drivers/nvme
- Changing the minimal version to the "Full" version with the command sudo unminimize, which probably installed a bunch of stuff I probably don't need or will use...

Anyway, nothing worked.

Does anyone have any useful information that I missed?

For many hours I had an issue regarding audio through headphones. It would skip audio on everything. VLC and YouTube. Whenever Ubuntu wants to dim the screen or is checking, the audio skips quite badly.

In my case it was a ubutu installation for a bar, so this was a big issue.

I've tried so much things, but disabling the dimming seems to cause the issue. Anyone else has this experience?
