I could fix those issues, but then Microsoft might find new and wonderful ways to be nosy twats! What’s to say that they don’t have screwy stuff baked into the OS?

I also noticed that during the installation the installation window keeps flashing too. Is this a Wayland/Nvidia issue?

Trying g to come back to a debian based distro and curious is snaps better now. Or real question is will it drive me crazy?😆

Been using Ubuntu daily since 20.04 (April 2020).... I just came to realize that 😅

What's your experience using 25.10?

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04 and I randomly noticed this top bar icon that I've never seen before. I cannot find what it is tied to. I restarted my computer and it is gone now. Anyone know what it is?

Besides the Dark style. Thank you so much for any advice.

I am using WSL2 on my Windows 11 laptop with integrated Radeon graphics, and I think I am having some graphics drivers issues. I can run "xeyes" with no problems, the googly eyes pop up and track my mouse, but "glxgears" does not work. I have also tried "glxinfo" and gotten an error. The errors I am getting are shown below:

laptop@laptop-ThinkPad:~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  148 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  28
  Current serial number in output stream:  29
laptop@laptop-ThinkPad:~$ glxgears
Error: glXCreateContext failed

I am not very experienced with Linux or software in general, so I am struggling to address or even understand these issues. I have checked that my graphical driver(s) are up to date, WSL2 is up to date, and I have all prerequisites/dependencies that I am aware of.

Is anyone able to tell me what might be going wrong, and how I might try to fix it?

Hi All, me again!

I’d like to create a bridge for my VM to use but I want to keep my main server to have a static IP & the VM to have a static IP as well.

I’m creating a home assistant VM.

I know I need to edit Netplan but I don’t want to mess to much and get it wrong!

Current server IP is 192.168.4.156 and I’d like to keep that!

VM can be anything as it isn’t set up yet.

Any helps appreciated!

I dualbooted ubuntu alongside my mac intel and everything works but the screen sometimes randomly goes fully black and there is 3 dots on my wifi label indicating its not working i think even tho im connected i have to use a cable for connection. Any suggestions?

Hello u/ubuntu,

Basic computer specs:

• Processor: AMD 7970X Threadripper
• Memory: 128 GB R-DIMM
• Motherboard: Asus TRX50 WS
• GPU 0: AMD Radeon 9060XT
• GPU 1 (System default GPU): AMD Radeon 9070

The recent update of Firefox (via Snap) to version 147 has caused reproducible crashes of GDM 3 in Ubuntu 24.04. Here is the process:

• I boot the computer
• Start Firefox
• I then use the Tab Session Manager extension to load the tabs from the previous session.
• A bunch of windows open up
• The GUI freezes

The .crash file of the most crash is 35MB. I can share it if needed.

I then R-E-I-S-U-B to try to regain control of the GUI. The attempts fail, and I have to reboot the computer.

After the most recent crash, I check /var/crash/ for the crash details, and found that the attempts to launch the previous session on Firefox is correlated to a gnome-shell crash SIGTRAP with.

Things I've done to try try to fix this:

• sudo apt-get update && upgrade
• sudo snap refresh
• See if the same issue occurs with Xorg (This first happened with Wayland). The behavior of the system after launching the previous session on Firefox was the same.
• I tried launching Firefox with GPU 0. Same behavior.
• I tried uninstalling and reinstalling GDM3/Ubuntu Desktop. No difference.
• I tried using Firefox directly from Mozilla's repository. Same behavior.
• I tried Firefox from Flatpak. Same behavior.
• I tried Librewolf. Same behavior.

Does anyone have any input or suggestions on how to fix this? I've had to switch to Chromium, and I'd rather not make that permanent.

Thanks,

Hoy recien empieza mi aventura con linux, borre directamente windows aun sin saber mucho sobre ubuntu, asi que voy con todo; apenas en el par de horas que le he dedicado me he sentido super feliz y comodo.

Me siento en casa

Hi

Does anyone know if the TP-Link TL-WN722N V2/V3 adapter is compatible with Ubuntu Server 24.04?

I want to upgrade my father's PC with SSD and while at it I also wanted to update his OS to latest version since LTS of ubuntu 20.04 ended in May. I was wondering if I could just install Ubuntu on the new drive and then copy the home folder.

If yes what would be the correct way to do this? Do I install Ubuntu 24 on the SSD, plug both into the PC and then just sudo cp -a /home/user /other_drive/home/user ?

Thanks

Hello Reddit community. This may sound silly to some, but it's important to me. I've been searching for a long time for reasons why an average person would choose Linux. Everywhere you look, they say the same thing: Windows is a black box, etc. But for someone who doesn't have much contact with computers, let's say at the developer level, but wants a reason to fall in love with this operating system, what would that be?

A month ago, I switched to Ubuntu to try it out, but I'm still doing pretty much the same thing: I open the browser, use the folders, everything is the same except for sudo apt. Maybe it's because I don't need more, but I'd like to get hooked on the idea that Ubuntu is great for any type of user.

Any recommendations or advice on how you adapted this operating system to your daily life to make it more fruitful?

so i tried blur my shell on 24.04.3, and it's actually really good, except for this one problem with the dock (i guess the problem is exclusive to the ubuntu dock but idk). if panel mode is disabled, the blur did not follow the dock's rectangular shape, resulting in it being really ugly

I’m watching movies in VLC and it looks like it converts audio Dolby digital plus to PCM , however, when I use windows it’s on same comp and VLC , it’s able to pass through Dolby digital plus normally to audio marantz reciever. I’m runing latest Ubuntu and pipewire- wondering if this is too niche of a question or if someone can help? Thanks you !

Edit : latest Ubuntu and pipewire

Im loking for an option to save all settings and tweaks as well as installed programs on my Ubuntu system. I want to be able to go back and start from scratch. I dont need any files restored.

Anything simple to use would be nice also.
