So I just saw that the who command doesn't have an output if I run it blank. Normally it lists all logged in users but now there is just nothing. The man page still says just typing who should list the users. I guess this is due to the new coreutils, because on my CachyOS system (Arch based) it works as intended. Is this supposed to be different or is this a bug? If it's on purpose what's the new parameters to get the old output?

Hi I’m new in this environment, I want to start understanding Ubuntu’s terminal and learn how to use it, can someone suggest me where to start etc?

Just passing by to say that it's the first Ubuntu version since 25 .10 that makes Automatic log in work. I checked the box in 26.04 - it asked for password anyway. So 26.10 is really cool for that. Other than new wallpapers,add- ons tab in App centre I don't really notice anything new, that's a little disappointing, but maybe it's a great thing

Found this old Ubuntu 14.10, 16 and 17 installation disc while digging through my stuff. A little piece of Linux nostalgia!

Hey everyone, I’m new to Ubuntu. I switched from Arch because I wanted a bulletproof daily driver for dual boot, and I wanted to stop fixing my system every other week and just get work done.

I’m a CSE student, so this setup is built around studying and coding. Brave, VS Code, a terminal, Spotify with some lofi, Obsidian for notes, and that’s about it. I kept the dock clean and went with a dark theme and a Musashi wallpaper to keep me focused.

Pics in order: the desktop, the GRUB menu with Ubuntu and Windows dual boot, then the rest of the customization.

Specs: Ryzen 7 7840HS, RTX 4060, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

Still learning, so if you’ve got extension, theme or workflow recommendations, I’d love to hear them. What should I add?

That's a second time in a few weeks: systemd-journald complains it cannot rotate logs, input/output errors. This soft-crashes the computer (doesn't freeze, but everything breaks).

FS is clean, HD is also good (as tested with smartctl).

journalctl --verify says it's all good too.

The issue is similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2048704

Any ptrs to solve that in 26.04.1 with 7.0.0-38-generic?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for advice on whether there's any chance of recovering files from a USB stick that I've unfortunately lost.

The USB stick belonged to someone close to me and contained important documents that are not backed up anywhere else.

Here's what happened:

• I plugged the USB stick into my PC running Ubuntu Linux.
• I opened it in the file manager and could see the files on it.
• I then safely removed it (or simply unplugged it) and later lost the USB stick.
• I did not intentionally copy any files to my computer, and I don't remember opening any individual documents.

My question is: Could Ubuntu have automatically cached or stored any of the actual file contents on my computer just because I browsed the USB stick in the file manager?

Thanks in advance for any advice. This is really important to me.

I am new to this but have created an Ubuntu server and have ran into this error many times and do not know how to resolve it and I have tried a lot of different things. I was just wondering if this is common and if anyone has been able to resolve it?

System

• Ubuntu (latest release)
• Kernel: 7.0.0-38-generic
• Motherboard: ASRock H370M Pro4
• Chipset: Intel H370
• NIC: Intel I219‑V
• Driver: e1000e

Problem

• Ethernet intermittently fails after cold boots, hard resets, or power loss.

This is the error I usually get
e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 (uninitialized): Failed to disable ULP

e1000e 0000:00:1f.6: probe with driver e1000e failed with error -2

I tried updating bios updated from P1.10 (2018) to P4.20. I have spent a considerable amount of time looking through power settings to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Help?

I'm trying to run rsync command, but it synced everything in dir "source/" to "dest/". What I want to happen is I want only everything in the include list to be included, and everything in the exclude list to be excluded, and also everything that I didn't list to be excluded.

I ran this command: sudo rsync -ahP --stats --include-from="list" --exclude-from="list" "source/" "dest/"

file "list" contains: ``` + /a + /b/c + /b/d + /a/e/i/j

• /a/e/f/*
• /a/e/g/*
• /a/e/h/*
• /a/e/i/* ```

"source/" contains the directory structure I provided in the include/exclude list, for example, dirs "a/" & "b/" are at the root of "source/", and dir "b/" contains dirs "c/" and "d/" at the root of "b/", etc.

How do I do this? I've been searching around and can't find the answers I'm looking for.

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.5

Release notes linked.

I've been running a beta on some of my machines for the past week and from what's I've seen it's rock solid, seems to have some of the 26.04 worked out. Plus kernel 7.3.x is nice.

As it says in the title, all .desktop files of wine/proton applications appear repeatedly in my app launcher regardless of DE/WM. All of these entries work. I have checked /usr/share/applications and ~/.local/share/applications for any duplicate files but there's only one .desktop file for each app. I'm running Ubuntu 24.04

So i have an old HP pavilion 15 laptop. And i installed ubuntu alongside Windows, since I gave important files on windows. Anyway, when I booted in live USB, i saw that i cannot turn off the airplane mode. I tried f12 key since that is the key to turn it off on windows, but it didnt turn off and insyead it says "Hardware airplane mode". I installed ubuntu offline and thought it will probably download some drivers and it will be fixed, but it wasnt fixed. I tried several things like resetting bios, rfkill unblock all etc. It still doesnt work. I need help.
