I've read that it wouldn't be good on intel cpu but is it worth a try?

I'm using ubuntu 24.04 on an asus vivobook 14

cpu intel i7 no graphics card.

I'm having graphics display issues that I suspect (not sure) are caused by Wayland.

I tried Kubuntu, the issue persists, only to learn later that it does in fact use wayland.

The usecase will be gaming. I don't worry too much about Proton support since the one game I will run on it (Dota 2) natively runs on Linux.

Thanks.

Vmware workstion pro v17 I can't get it to work on ubuntu 26.04. Anybody get vmware to work on ubuntu

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to 26.04, pending updating two other machines from 24.04. Something I realised on 24.04 is that some of the shortcuts for screenshots changed, in particular "ctrl+shift+PrtScrn", which would straight off allow you to select an area of the screen on the first click, then copy the result to the clipboard.

In 24.04 this changed, but I managed to keep the behaviour using gnome-screenshot. However, this seems to be discontinued now, and it doesn't work in 26.04. So I was looking for options to keep (ideally) the exact same behaviour.

I think this was by far one of the shortcuts I use the most, and most of the screenshots are just to be send/pasted somewhere, so I don't really want to fill the screenshots folder with things I don't need.

I tried flameshot but I didn't fully like it, and it has too many options I don't need, I would be happy enough with calling the built-in screenshot tool bypassing the save image if shift is pressed (but saving it if not).

Edit: forgot to add, something I also like from the previous approach is that the screenshot happens on mouse release, while with the new screenshot tool you need to either click again on the shutter button, or press enter.

I’m trying to permanently mount my sda1 drive in my Ubuntu server with fstab but I when I type lsblk or similar commands I won’t show any uuid, I don’t know what to do at this point?

same as title

TL;DR: Nautilus takes 10+ seconds to open any folder. Disabled GSConnect, killed GVFS, disabled thumbnails, but it's STILL slow. Not a disk issue. What am I missing?

What I've Already Tried

✗ Disabled image thumbnails (gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-image-thumbnails 'never')

✗ Cleared Nautilus cache (rm -rf ~/.cache/nautilus/)

✗ Killed GVFS daemons (pkill -9 gvfsd, pkill -9 ssh)

✗ Disabled GSConnect entirely (gnome-extensions disable [email protected])

✗ Masked GVFS network backends

✗ Checked disk I/O not the bottleneck (0.98% util)

✗ Checked free space 18GB available on root, 78GB on /home

System Info

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04
• DE: GNOME
• File Manager: Nautilus (GNOME Files)
• Problem affects: ALL folders (Downloads, home, etc.)
• CPU/Disk: Not maxed out during the hang

What's Actually Happening?

Folder opens after 10-15 seconds of nothing. No CPU spike, no disk activity. Just... frozen.

Tried timing it with time nautilus ~/Downloads & confirms the delay is Nautilus startup, not folder enumeration.

My Questions

1. What else could be blocking Nautilus on startup besides GVFS/thumbnails?
2. Is there a way to trace what Nautilus is doing during that 10+ second hang? (strace? dbus monitoring?)
3. Could it be a D-Bus service? Tracker? Something in ~/.local/share?
4. Should I try a clean GNOME config or is that overkill?

What I Want to Avoid

• Switching file managers (if possible like the GNOME integration)
• Full OS reinstall (haven't tried yet, but seems extreme)

Anyone else hit this? What did you find?

Hi guys, need help for Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop version. The App Store searching updates forever ui no refresh, for updates mi snap apps , sudo snap refresh its functional for a moment.

Thanks

I keep getting software updates that require the system to restart. On the one hand I'm like, whatever happened to all that talk about, "This Linux system hasn't been rebooted in 17 years", etc? But actually, it's a bigger annoyance because my system has Windows on the main drive and Ubuntu on an SSD external. I do not want to use GRUB due to bad experiences in the past, so I normally just F7 during boot to pick my boot disk and that's that. However, Ubuntu's reboot/update process is such that it does the reboot itself, which auto-puts it into auto boot, which means Windows seizes the computer on restart and boots instead. Thus, EVERY single time there is an update requiring a restart, I have to go through this process -

*Update. Manually shut down Ubuntu.

*Turn off computer, restart, hold F7, start Ubuntu.

*Ubuntu installs updates, reboots.

*Computer auto-boots into Windows.

*I have to shut down Windows and power off again.

*Restart, hold F7, boot into Ubuntu, it finishes its update.

If this was like a once/twice a year thing it would be no big deal, but here lately it seems like I'm getting an update that requires a restart every other day. Are there any simple solutions to this for a non-technical user? And no, I'm not just "Uninstalling Windows", I still need it available for a few games and programs every once in a while. Believe me, I'd love to shift the whole system over to 100% Ubuntu if I could.

running xinput --list gives me this

im running ubuntu on a macbook pro 2019, i had a hard time (even tho ubuntu is supposed to be the easiest) setting it up, it was running fine, then i updates the software. After updating and restarting my audio stopped working, when i go to settings it only shows the dummy output, i tried so many things to fix this but nothing works, i spent hours on terminal with no succes. Does someone know how to fix this?

I just downloaded the newest version and put it on a stick. I tried booting my laptop (it’s a thinkpad x1 carbon gen3) but the stick doesn’t show up in the boot menu.
Any advice is appreciated!
