I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on my kid's school computer last night and now I want to enable parental controls, as documented in this help file. The page helpfully informs me that "the tab only appears if Parental Controls is installed and enabled", but does not tell me how to do that. The app doesn't seem to be installed, the app store doesn't seem to have it, and I can't find any more information via the search box on the Ubuntu documentation.

What do I need to install in order to enable this security option?

I have Ubuntu Server 22.04 with kernel 6.5 installed on a Intel NUC 13 Pro. It's stuck operating a 100Mbps. The NUC is connected via a new CAT6 cable to a Unifi switch that supports gigabit ethernet.

How can I get it to operate at 1000Mbps?

Hello. I installed 24.04, it actually works very well on such an old machine.
After installation, I could not open *.jar files. That's why I installed java. Currently javac --version
javac 22.0.1 appears. udo update-alternatives --config java

There is no way I haven't tried but I couldn't get it to work. I would be happy if you guide me.

I recently installed Ubuntu Server 24.02 ISO to a bootable USB stick formatted with FAT32 with UNetbootIn. The stick boots fine to the installer, I type my preferred settings. I tried to install the OS on an external SSD connected with a USB-to-SATA adapter. Whenever I tried to boot it from the boot menu after installing, it would boot Windows instead. So, I went into BIOS to set the USB boot priority above the Windows Boot Manager. The computer kept rebooting with "System Reset" shown in the top left of the screen for a fraction of a second. I reverted my BIOS changes and now I'm here. It's probably not a problem with the SATA adapter because I used it to boot Windows 10 from another SSD of the exact same type. The only other thing worth noting is that during the install process I chose to update the installer to Ubuntu Server 24.04. I don't have a reliable internet connection.

Is it a problem with the CPU not supporting Ubuntu Server? It's an AMD Ryzen 7 5700 series.

Was wondering if there's way out installing systemd-boot instead of traditional grub on Kubuntu 24.04?

I am wondering if the problem is on my end or youtubes end? Is anyone else using Firefox, on 24.04, and also having difficulty with youtube?

Edit: nevermind. I found the problem by opening two separate pages, opening "about:performance" in one and "youtube" in the other. I learned it was an extension, on a hunch I disabled my AdGuard ad blocker extension and wammo bammo, Youtube works perfectly.

Ubuntu 24.04 can’t install printrun.
Ender3 Pro just replaced the hotend / heat tube and wanted to use interface to test it.

Ubuntu 24.04 on 2012 mbp 13in
Tried the snap store , apt , apt-get , I cloned the git hub repository but I couldn’t find instructions on how to install from git.

If it’s not obvious I’m not that familiar with Linux

Need to have the newest features. Now! How to get the newest version of Gimp on my Linux notebook?

so I've installed Ubuntu with my windows drives disconnected

once Ubuntu was fully setup, I reconnected my windows drive

now Im able to boot into both OS manually by going into the Bios and changing the Boot Priority

How can I install a bootloader and on which drive would it be better to install it on ?

Any help would be appreciated , thanks

Pretty much the title. Ever since updating from 23.10 to 24.04 Chormium snap won't launch. Just a blank window where it's supposed to be. Worked flawlessly in 23.10

I have a German pc, I Know how to set the keyboard layout but under all the German variant there are no T1/T2 layout how can I add it?

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu on an old iMac Early 2008 I have with 4GB of RAM. Its running well except that the WIFI doesnt work. Ive done the following to try and fix the issue

The WIFI card is a broadcom BCM4321 (Airport Extreme), additional drivers shows 1 proprietary driver in use. Tried reinstalling this, same issue. Ran "sudo apt-get update" and "firmware-b43-installer" from the terminal, same issue.

Im currently using Ethernet but would rather use Wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a use case with ubuntu 22.04 where I need to have 2 Nics on 2 Different subnets, each Nic must send data out the same Nic it receives data on. In this instance This VM will be a Zabbix Server collecting data.

For the sake of simplicity. we can use these 2 subnets

NIC: ens160 ens161

addresses: 10.20.18.60/24 10.20.17.51/24

gateway: 10.20.18.1 10.20.17.1

DNS: 10.20.18.254,10.20.18.253

SERCH: CONTOSO.COM

We also can assume that both subnets are behind firewalls and all rules are in place to allow traffic on PORTS 10050 and 10051. and if it matters the VM's are hosted on ESXi 7

Can someone tell me how to do this? I have only basic understanding of Linux Networking, and this system uses NETPLAN for configuration. There is No GUI, but I'm comfortable with the CLI.

Hi, I've installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for programming and I just wanted to use the noise cancellation earphones. The problem is when I play any kind of video it just lags and stutters even if the video moves smoothly. Only the audio is the problem. I've installed btman but I had no luck with it.

Any suggestions on what should I do, or is it fixable?

I need it to be based on ubuntu 22.04 or newer

ofcourse we know that the stable version released a days ago. but shouldn't the beta version users got an upgrade to the stable these days? or it's not going like that *because I still didn't got the ability to upgrade

Anyone else experiencing wayland issue’s on the new ubuntu 24.04 release?

I cant even open gnome-settings on wayland?

running sudo dmesg i can see a red error line with the contents: [drm:nv_drm_master_set [nvidia_drm]] ERROR [nvidia_drm] Failed to grab modeset ownership

Im not sure if this is related, but i remember distributions that use gnome wont even display the wayland option when logging in if modeset wasn’t set in kernel paramters?

I want to start a VM (run windows) on my ubuntu but I can't and this error pops up

`VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_SVM_IN_USE).`

​

so I tried to kill KVM-amd using lsmod and grep to trackback who is using it and kill all processes but it doesn't work it tells me they are in use and cant be killed. I used system monitor to kill KVM but I cant find any process that uses it. What can I do?

I only ever use the Bluetooth and WiFi toggles and would like to remove the other menu items like 'Dark Style', 'Power Mode' etc.

Is there a way to achieve this? Maybe with a Gnome extension?

Thanks!

I recently installed latest Ubuntu on my system and the multi touch gesture of TouchPad is not working .Are here any extensions for the multi gesture?
Thank You

After using Ubuntu 20.04 for 5 months, I finally installed nvidia driver to get that sweet sweet cuda support. After enrolling the MOK key, my laptops network driver stopped working.

It works again after I do “sudo service network-manager restart” every time I turn my laptop on. Whatever, I’ll just put it in bashrc I guess. Is there a better solution for a permanent fix?

Also the more annoying part is that it is painfully sluggish using an external monitor with my laptop docked. Like 3 seconds to register a single keypress bad. If I simply open the laptops screen, it’s back to normal, even for the external monitor. This just sucks a little because my monitor has to go way above eye level to fix this. What do I do about this?

Edit: Ubuntu has also lost the ability to tell the system to poweroff, whether done by gui or by “sudo poweroff” This is probably the most pressing issue for me actually

Hello,

I'm encountering a peculiar issue that only occurs when I'm connected to the wireless network outside my house, not when I'm at home.

What's happening? When I start up my notebook, it's already connected at the login screen. However, after entering my password, it freezes on a black screen for about a minute before finally loading my desktop.

If I disable the Wi-Fi, my desktop loads very quickly. When I'm at home connected to the Wi-Fi, my desktop loads as if the Wi-Fi were turned off.

I tried to understand this problem, but not successful.

I've written small app that allows users to choose which web browser to use when opening links clicked outside of a browser context, such as in messengers, PDF viewers, and other applications. It's my first rust/gui/open source app so any feedback will be appreciated.

Please turn super+mouse wheel up/down to switch desktops :)

I tried installing the vanilla-gnome-desktop through apt, and it simply refuses to install. Any way to resolve this issue?

Does 24.04 use pipewire or pulseaudio? Can I remove one or the other to resolve this? I'm not particular about which audio backend I'm using as long as audio works.

[Update] I installed pulseaudio first, then it allowed me to install vanilla-gnome-desktop. I'm not sure why pulseaudio didn't just install along with the vanilla-gnome-desktop package.

The man is right to make that complaint.

Hi, hoping someone can help. I am Windows and Hackintosh user usually, however my laptop is awkward is Hackintosh and Windows bugs me lately. I am not new to Linux but it has been a few years since I ran one.

Last week I installed Elementary OS without issue, however I tried to install all the correct drivers for my laptop including Secureboot "Surface Book 3 · linux-surface/linux-surface Wiki · GitHub" and after a restart Elementary would not launch from the HDD and the USB would not load. I wiped the drive and returned to windows to get another Linux OS. I tried Manjaro which works fine but my Mrs uses my laptop and prefers Elementary, so I tried the USB again but I received mmx64.efi error and I was told online to change grubx64.EFI to mmx64.efi and it worked, I was able to boot the installer but after restart Elementary still wont boot. I then tried Ubuntu USB and it just hangs on the boot logo indefinitely.

No idea what to do. Online search recommends removing the GRUB. Apparently wiping my HDD for windows install does not remove the GRUB. boot - Uninstall GRUB and use Windows bootloader - Ask Ubuntu
However this method does not work as the Ubuntu files do not show up.

Any help would be appreciated.

How in the world can I get my Windows XP and 95 physical games to run on Ubuntu? I've tried to install a program called wine, like I've heard you use for Windows programs, but. Every time I try to run the installation, it does NOTHING. If people switch to Linux for easy use, how can you make Windows programs work if the compatibility tool doesn't help! Like I said, I'm VERY new to Linux. I've tried a few versions before, but never used long term because couldn't figure it out, but I have a laptop with a 6th gen i5 and can't run Windows 11 on it officially, so I figured I would make it a retro game player using Linux since Linux can play old games easier than new versions of Windows. Any advice that is easy to understand would be greatful!
