Ubuntu is blocking all outside connection

I've got this problem where I lose all means to connect to my server from time to time. Today I finally managed to pinpoint the exact moment when it happened, and found what I think is the journalctl entry related to my problem. Now I don't know what to do with it. It does seem kind of concerning. The logs are as follows: Aug 21 12:34:49 woegoef systemd-networkd[921]: br-69b2ffc9017a: Gained…

Dell XPS 9570 - BIOS version 1.42.0 vs. 1.27.0

The official and last version is 1.27.0. I think it was Windows, but how can I have a 1.42.0 version installed? When I try to downgrade it says it's impossible, but in the BIOS it's checked on yes to downgrade. Can you help me at Dell to put back your version 1.27.0 because I noticed my PC is not working as it should be.

Can Ubuntu 24.04 function without a battery? [duplicate]

For context; it's been a little over two years since my HP laptop's original battery met its end, after almost 3 years of usage. I initially planned to just replace the battery, but after just 6 months the replacement also gave up even though I bought it from an authorized HP provider. So, I decided to give up on buying new batteries and, running on Windows 10, I instead keep it running with the…

How to point different programs at different python versions

I am using yt-dlp which I installed with pipx on Ubuntu 22.04. It required python3.11 or higher, so I installed python3.11 for it to use, and after relinking /usr/bin/python3 to point from python3.10 to python3.11 yt-dlp worked properly. However, gnome-terminal will not launch if python3 points at python3.11 instead of python3.10. From what I can see yt-dlp only works if python3.11 is linked to…

App starts but fails to display

I am relatively new to Ubuntu and am having an issue with an application. Despite the fact that so far this only seems to affect Logseq, I am wondering if there may be a deeper issue. I recently installed Ubuntu 26.04 and previously I had 24.04 which was able to run Logseq without any issues. There haven't been any updates to this app in quite some time. Now, if I install Logseq via snap it will…

How can I make Firefox on Ubuntu follow system dark mode? (snap)

I'm using Firefox (snap) on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (GNOME 50). Firefox is configured to follow system settings in regards to using light mode or dark mode. Here is the screenshot from the "Appearance" section of Firefox's settings: If I launch GNOME Settings, I can navigate to "Apperance", and switch the style from "Default" (light mode) to "Dark". When I do so, most apps immediately switch to dark…

I'm on a 22.04.5 LTS. Since eth is not detected and the wireless wl is, I'm trying to connect to the wireless so I can install the proper NIC driver.

Black screen after selecting "Try or Install Ubuntu" on MSI Laptop (Ryzen 5 & RTX 2050)

I am trying to dual-boot Ubuntu 26.04 LTS alongside Windows on my MSI laptop, but I am stuck at a black screen. When I boot from my live USB, the GRUB menu loader screen appears normally. However, immediately after I select "Try or Install Ubuntu" , the screen goes completely black. The laptop stays turned on, but nothing ever loads, and I am forced to hold down the power button to shut it off. (I…

Big monitor stays black after using built-in KVM switch

I'm using a Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 32:9 screen. It is running at 5120×1440 pixels @ 240 Hz. My main computer is attached to DisplayPort. It has an Nvidia RTX4080 installed and is running Ubuntu. Everything was fine with Ubuntu 24.04 but since I upgraded to 26.04 I can't really use the built-in KVM switch of the screen anymore. When I switch to another input and back to DisplayPort the screen just…

Headphones "work", but only system sounds play

I'm using a new install of Ubuntu 26.04. Now, my headphones don't automatically work when plugged in, which isn't an issue as I'm used to open pavucontrol to force audio through the headphones (and by the way, they display as unplugged by default). And whenever I plug them in, sound does seem to work, but only system sounds . Firefox? No sound. Games on Steam? No sound. Trying to play an audio…

How to setup a Wacom Graphire CTE-440 on 24.04

I'm trying to use an old Wacom Graphire CTE-440 tablet on a Ubuntu 24.04.4 using Wayland installation. I can't get scrolling to work. If I logout and login using Ubuntu on Xorg everything seems to work (except for a glitch that sometimes causes Gnome user installed extensions to be turned off). I'd prefer to stay on Wayland so I'm hoping someone may have had success. (Yes, on Windows 11 Wacom has…

Printing from an Ubuntu server to a USB printer on my laptop

Anything I found about this was really old so I thought I'd ask the geniuses here to see if any had ideas before digging into this. This is a stop gap solution while we fix the problem properly. I have a server running Ubuntu 2024 LTS. I have a printer that I need to print on from that server that is only a USB printer. I want to plug it into my Windows laptop and use it from the server. What I…

Ubuntu 26.04 always at 100% load

I was wondering if you, after distro upgrading, are having trouble with the load on your system! I have a personal server sitting on a OK notebook, not so old, but yet gold. What I mean is, I'm on its version 4, started on 22.04, then 24.04 (the whole 2 years), then I decided to move on the recently 26.04 LTS. I use the same 25-ish containers running on Docker, media (arr's), Minecraft hosting…

Audio And Graphics Glitch in The Witcher 3 [closed]

The audio is all staticy and there are aliasing glitches in the game The Witcher 3. I am assuming this is a driver error. Also, none of my other games launch in Steam; they all stop after "loading vulcan shaders".

WD Black shows after Ubuntu 26.04 installation

As it should, but after you remove the installation media and reboot, the drive is gone. lsblk shows it's there, Gnome won’t acknowledge it. Also after installing from USB, something kept crashing and preventing the icons at the top right of the screen, and that bottom left icon from loading. Reinstalling fixed it. The WD Black 6tb drive, seemed to have disappeared after a system suspend. My…

I am using the latest version of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. For some time now, when I try to edit and save `sudo nano /etc/default/grub`, there is no response. It won't save, and there are no other notifications. I have no idea what is causing this.

How do I permanently remove KDE wallet from the latest edition of Kubuntu?

I understand that Chrome (which I don't use) relies on wallet, and WiFi passwords (which I do not use) relies on it too, but I couldn't care less. Every solution I've found doesn't actually remove it. I do not want wallet disabled. I do not want it to remember "don't ask again". I do not want just the manager uninstalled. I do not want it silenced. I want it to be GONE. If I seem angry it's…

How to use a pattern lock screen with lightDM/something similar in Xubuntu?

I am using Xubuntu in an ARM tablet. Every once in a while, the screen locks and I have to enter the password in lightdm. Is there any way to replace the password lock with a pattern lock in the lock screen? I am open towards replacing lightdm with other lockscreen managers. The answer to this question says that you can you face unlock or fingerprint, which is not what I want.

Ubuntu 24.04 login loop

I have what seems to be a solid Ubuntu 24.04 installation except for one very inconvenient problem. My GUI login always fails just returning me back to the login panel. I have found the many solutions online that involve pressing a key sequence to drop to a terminal, reset the user Xinit file, etc., but these steps don't seem relevant for me. I actually have one account, the original one created…

Problem with installing Ubuntu Server 22.04.5 and 24.04.5, installation wizard doesn't detect SSD

How to remove a key from Nautilus?

I have several LUKS encrypted external hard disks. I want to always have to enter a password when they are plugged in. Sometimes I accidentally click "remember password".

IBus Vietnamese Unikey: Accent after vocal in gedit

I have installed IBus with Vietnamese unikey input. Settings are: Input method extended Telex, Output Unikey. When I type "ddoost" I would expect "đốt" . In my browser it works, but when I type in the text editor (gedit), I get the rising tone accent on the "t", not on the "ô".
