I installed Pipelight from the PPA archive, according to these instructions . The installation command, sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi was for only one package, but it entailed downloading and installing about 180 dependency packages, about 40 of which were upgrades to currently-installed packages. Therefore, about 140 new packages were installed. Pipelight subsequently didn't work, so I removed it: sudo apt-get purge pipelight-multi No other packages were removed. I then used sudo apt-get autoremove. This command removed all auto-removeable packages. There were exactly 100 of these (there were also exactly 100 packages in Synaptic Package Manager's 'Autoremovable' list). So this left about 40 packages that weren't considered auto-removeable, and so weren't removed. I had to remove them manually. There were no unmet dependencies on my system before I installed Pipelight; and I hadn't marked any packages as manually-installed, installed or removed anything else, or anything like that. Only about ten minutes passed between installing Pipelight and removing it. So after I removed Pipelight, why weren't all of its unneeded dependencies marked as auto-removable?

Does the AntiX use amdgpu for AMD videocards? I found that in Xubuntu system there is a problem with new amdgpu, so I cannot update, and AntiX works normally. The problem is that after the update Xubuntu boots only in command line regime. Xfce4 doesn't start. I think that new amdgpu module doesn't support my 11 year old videocard. In AntiX linux amdgpu works fine because there is 6.1 kernel while in Xubuntu there is 6.11 kernel.

I am trying to use "loginctl" to terminate a session like below: loginctl terminate-session 1 where 1 is session id. But after the command is executed, black screen is observed & I have to click power button of my laptop to shutdown. Basically what I am looking for is a graceful method to get out of this situation. Also, I am working on Xubuntu.

I'm trying to follow these instruction to mount a second hard drive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive For automatic mount at boot it says I need to enter this into the terminal: sudo nano -Bw /etc/fstab Then: Add this line to the end (for ext3 file system): /dev/sdb1 /media/mynewdrive ext3 defaults 0 2 Add this line to the end (for fat32 file system): /dev/sdb1 /media/mynewdrive vfat defaults 0 2 I'm not really sure what file system I am working with. I'm also not sure what it means to add the line to the end. End of what? This is a screen shot of what happens when I type in "sudo nano -Bw /etc/fstab"

I have read that Xubuntu 18.04 has a dark theme , but I could not find it anywhere. I have manually upgraded to the newest version from 16.04. Perhaps this is the reason why I could not find it, or do I need an extra tool?

I’ve had a bit of a hunt around, and tried LOTS of things for the following problem. I feel like I’m near the end of it. I run Ubuntu Studio 18.04 on a few PCs, with LVM. I pulled the Hard Drive from an old 32 bit based machine, and I am trying to mount it as an external drive via USB to another PC - Ubuntu 18.04, 64 Bit. I just want to read the contents and copy files and folders to the new PC and another external backup HDD. In Windows and Macs, pulling an OS disk and plugging it into another PC via USB -- normally reads and mounts the disk straight away, and I am able to go ahead and copy / read write files. On Linux / Ubuntu Studio - after reading several articles, and trial and error, here is where I am up to : I have installed some kind of “LVM2” drivers (I think) - I believe I used :

sudo apt-get install lvm2

I have read this article https://ixnfo.com/en/solving-the-error-mount-unknown-filesystem-type-lvm2_member.html Which, among another couple of articles, pointed me to use lvdisplay to get the name of the LVM. As my logical volumes have the same name - (My PC and Ext HDD / former PC which both ran ubuntu studio) These are the lvdisplay outputs - (removing all the other unnecessary info and swap partitions from lvdisplay output - and I have obviously changed the name of the UUIDs)

--- Logical volume ---

  LV Path                /dev/ubuntu-studio-vg/root

  VG Name                ubuntu-studio-vg

  LV Size                464.80 GiB

  LV UUID                1234abc-1234-abc

  --- Logical volume ---

  LV Path                /dev/ubuntu-studio-vg/root

  VG Name                ubuntu-studio-vg

  LV Size                 From the manpage of mount.

I have tried the one with the syntax in bold

mount -U 1234-SOME-UUID /some/mount/folder

It doesn’t work.
I get :

mount: /media: can't find UUID=1234-SOME-UUID

Now, I feel a bit stuck.

I seek help from the wizards.

Help! (:

Thanks so much for any answers.

Disabled password on login with command sudo passwd -l user How do I retrieve the password?

I have a 2014 macbook air on which I have installed Xubuntu using a boot usb. I have no wifi connection, and the problem seems to be related to the broadcom driver. I download the deb files on my phone then transfer them through Bluetooth. The first crash arose from a missing dkms, which I installed, then I got an error 10, which is apparently linked to the linux kernel (said chatgpt...) I installed the linux headers and modules, but the compilation failed. with the log being I am bit out of imagination for the next step. I apologize for the cumbersome pictures.

I have a PC with two monitors, running X11. I'm using xpra in shadow mode to export the session. Here's how I launch the server:

xpra shadow :0  --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:14600,auth=file,filename=$HOME/.xpra/password.txt --html=on --daemon=no

From the server logs, xpra detects my dual-monitor setup correctly:

### What happens - Xpra opens two windows, one for **HDMI-1** and one for **HDMI-2**. - Both windows display **the exact same content**, instead of each showing its portion of the desktop. - Only one of the two windows is interactive (receives input events). ### From the logs

Warning: image bigger than expected
  3840x1080 instead of 1920x1080

This warning repeats frequently.
It seems like xpra is sending the entire 3840x1080 desktop to both windows. --- ### What I'm trying to achieve: - Each client window should show **only the corresponding screen**, e.g. HDMI-1 shows the one screen, HDMI-2 the other. - Both windows should be responsive to events as if they were independent displays. ### What I've tried: - Read the xpra documentation regarding **shadow servers** and **multi-monitor setups**. - Tested with different --desktop-scaling and --opengl options. --- ### Question: How can I make xpra **split the view correctly** between the two windows, and make both windows interactive, with input routed to the correct area? --- ### Environment: - **Xpra version 6.2.5-r0** on both client and server - Server: Xubuntu 24.04, X11, Xfwm4 window manager, dual monitors (HDMI-1, HDMI-2) - Client: Xubuntu 24.10, Xfwm4 window manager

I am trying to configure XRDP on my **Xubuntu 24.04** machine to allow remote connections from another Xubuntu 24.10 Linux machine (via VPN, same network). My goal is to **create a new XFCE session through XRDP**, which provides **the same desktop experience as my local session**, without interfering with any user that might be physically present at the machine. --- ### What I am trying to achieve - I want to **connect remotely** and start a **new session**, not take over the existing local session. - This **new session** should offer the **same XFCE environment as my local desktop**, including: - Panels and launchers in the same positions. - Desktop layout and configurations as I’ve set them locally. - The same user profile experience as when logging in physically at the console. - I need this remote session to **start even if nobody is logged in locally**. > **Note:** On standard **Ubuntu 24.04 (GNOME)**, there is **built-in support for remote desktop** via RDP (GNOME Remote Desktop). > It allows remote users to connect through RDP and either **share the existing session** or **create a new one**, depending on the setup. > I would like to achieve a **similar behavior** on **Xubuntu**, where I can create a **new remote session**, with my **XFCE desktop environment**, that mirrors the experience I have when logged in locally. --- ### What I have tried - **VPN access** is working fine. It's like I'm on the local network. - XRDP is installed and running. - Packages installed: - xorgxrdp - dbus-x11 - xfce4 and xfce4-goodies - /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config:

allowed_users=anybody
   needs_root_rights=no

- /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh contains:

#!/bin/sh

    if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
        . /etc/default/locale
        export LANG LANGUAGE
    fi

    exec startxfce4

- I also tried adding export DISPLAY=:10 in startwm.sh. - I created executable ~/.xsession and ~/.Xclients with exec startxfce4. - .Xauthority has correct ownership and permissions. --- ### What happens - XRDP successfully establishes a connection, creating a new session on display :10. - Xorg seems to start fine, but startxfce4 exits immediately. - On the client side (Remmina RDP), I see a **black screen** for a few seconds and then the connection closes. - xrdp-sesman.log reports:

Window manager exited quickly

- .xorgxrdp.10.log shows the X server terminating cleanly without errors. --- ### What works (as an alternative) **NoMachine Free** works, but it only connects to the **local physical session**, which I do not want, because it disturbs any local user, in addition, there may be no active session (PC just turned on). --- ### The core question **How can I configure XRDP on Xubuntu 24.04 to start a new XFCE session that loads my full user environment (panels, launchers, desktop layout), providing the same experience as logging in locally, without disturbing local users, or without having any active session?** --- ### Notes - I do **not** need multiple concurrent remote sessions. - I only need **one remote session**, separate from the physical console. - I prefer a solution that allows me to replicate the **same user experience** I have locally.

I am running Xubuntu 11.10 with a dual monitor setup. I am looking to create a keystroke (maybe CTRL + ALT + SPACE which will allow me send a selected window to the next monitor. In GNOME there is a package called swapmonitor which is capable of sending the window to the other monitor. Calling this program with a keystroke achieves the same effect. How is this done in XFCE/Xubuntu?

Is it possible to integrate pdfsandwich into XSane? This command adds an OCR sandwiched plane to a scanned file (the option behind -lang is for German):

-lang deu -grayfilter file.pdf

Compared with other solutions, the generated pdf file is relatively small. Therefore I would like to integrate pdfsandwich into the XSane workflow. It would be best, if this becomes possible for multipage scanned pdf files too. The language should not be fixed once for all. Perhaps this might be achieved by changing the letters for the

-lang

option stored in some file which is read after a pdf file is OCRed after the file is scanned. If the question for the language has to be risen for each page separately, then it should be possible just to press RETURN to stay with the most recent value for

-lang

.

I recently purchased a YXK 15.6” portable display on Amazon. It has a usb-c to usb-c cable connection and also a hdmi to a smaller hdmi cable connection option. When I connect it via usb-c to my MSI bravo laptop running windows I can use it as a second display. When I run xubuntu via virtual box I cannot get the ubuntu OS to acknowledge the 2nd monitor. I can grab the virtual machine and drag it to either monitor but cannot use both monitors together from within xubuntu. I tried going to settings->display and I’ve turned on the options to configure new displays when connected but the second display doe not appear as an option. Does anyone know how to get this monitor working so I can extend my xubuntu desktop to the second screen?

I followed the suggestion found on this site (link below), which seems to answer my question. However, when the other user tries to access the shared folder on my Desktop, from his Desktop he gets a permission denied error. The user is in the Sudo group but I want him to avoid using root if at all possible. The above explains that a 'data' folder, the contents of which should be copied to the shared folder, is not necessary. I therefore created a folder on my Desktop 'SHARED' and then followed the instructions.

I'm using Xubuntu 20.04. When I am trying to maximize google chrome, the maximize button, minimize button and the close button get above the visible screen area.

I am setting up a pc running Xubuntu and so far it is going pretty well. I am having issues getting Wi-Fi working, though. Initially I tried with my existing Netgear A6200 but was told that basically drivers don't exist, and I would have to use Windows drivers - which I didn't fancy, so I bought [one of these](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XZ1DBPZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) , which lists Linux as a supported OS. I haven't had much luck getting it to work. I was hoping that I would just plug it in and get the drivers magically but no such luck. The chipset is apparently realtek RTL8811AU (I got this by plugging it into my windows PC). I found [this post](https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2306417) , but make fails* - I also don't like the idea of having to re-do this every time Linux updates. I looked at the drivers that come with the dongle, and there is an install.sh to compile and install the drivers (I assume this is doing a similar thing to the GitHub repo referenced on the above post). This install script also fails. There is also a tar of source code included on the disc. I was really hoping for some apt-get command to do this that would track and update the drivers as new updates came out. If I get make to work am I really going to have to re-do that each time I get an update? * make failure output andy@Andy-Miner:~/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux$ make make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.10.0-33-generic/build M=/home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux modules make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.10.0-33-generic' CC [M] /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_cmd.o CC [M] /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_security.o CC [M] /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_debug.o In file included from /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/include/drv_types.h:64:0, from /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_debug.c:22: /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_debug.c: In function ‘dump_drv_version’: /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/include/rtw_debug.h:187:19: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be #define _seqdump seq_printf ^ /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/include/rtw_debug.h:240:7: note: in expansion of macro ‘_seqdump’ if(_seqdump(sel, fmt, ##arg)) /*rtw_warn_on(1)*/; \ ^ /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_debug.c:65:2: note: in expansion of macro ‘DBG_871X_SEL_NL’ DBG_871X_SEL_NL(sel, "%s %s\n", DRV_NAME, DRIVERVERSION); ^ /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_debug.c:66:64: error: macro "__DATE__" might prevent reproducible builds [-Werror=date-time] DBG_871X_SEL_NL(sel, "build time: %s %s\n", __DATE__, __TIME__); ^ //snip LOADS of errors /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/include/rtw_debug.h:240:7: note: in expansion of macro ‘_seqdump’ if(_seqdump(sel, fmt, ##arg)) /*rtw_warn_on(1)*/; \ ^ /home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_debug.c:1221:2: note: in expansion of macro ‘DBG_871X_SEL_NL’ DBG_871X_SEL_NL(m, "best_channel_24G = %d\n", best_channel_24G); ^ cc1: some warnings being treated as errors scripts/Makefile.build:294: recipe for target '/home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_debug.o' failed make: *** [/home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux/core/rtw_debug.o] Error 1 Makefile:1524: recipe for target '_module_/home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux' failed make: *** [_module_/home/andy/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux] Error 2 make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.10.0-33-generic' Makefile:1323: recipe for target 'modules' failed make: *** [modules] Error 2 andy@Andy-Miner:~/git/rtl8811AU_rtl8821A-linux$ ### Install script output from included drivers andy@Andy-Miner:~/Downloads/wifi dongle$ sudo ./install.sh ################################################## Realtek Wi-Fi driver Auto installation script Novembor, 21 2011 v1.1.0 ################################################## Decompress the driver source tar ball: rtl8821AU_linux_v4.3.14_13455.20150212_BTCOEX20150128-51.tar.gz rtl8821AU_linux_v4.3.14_13455.20150212_BTCOEX20150128-51/ rtl8821AU_linux_v4.3.14_13455.20150212_BTCOEX20150128-51/core/ //snip - loads of files listed rtl8821AU_linux_v4.3.14_13455.20150212_BTCOEX20150128-51 Authentication requested [root] for make clean: cd hal/OUTSRC/ ; rm -fr */*.mod.c */*.mod */*.o */.*.cmd */*.ko cd hal/OUTSRC/ ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd hal/led ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd hal ; rm -fr */*/*.mod.c */*/*.mod */*/*.o */*/.*.cmd */*/*.ko cd hal ; rm -fr */*.mod.c */*.mod */*.o */.*.cmd */*.ko cd hal ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd core/efuse ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd core ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd os_dep/linux ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd os_dep ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd platform ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko rm -fr Module.symvers ; rm -fr Module.markers ; rm -fr modules.order rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko *~ rm -fr .tmp_versions Authentication requested [root] for make driver: make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.10.0-33-generic/build M=/home/andy/Downloads/wifi dongle/driver/rtl8821AU_linux_v4.3.14_13455.20150212_BTCOEX20150128-51 modules make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.10.0-33-generic' arch/x86/Makefile:140: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support make: *** No rule to make target 'dongle/driver/rtl8821AU_linux_v4.3.14_13455.20150212_BTCOEX20150128-51'.

when i try to reset my root password through the grub menu I get the prompt: **root@(none):/#** If i wait to long, like 4 seconds, I get the message: **[ 15.011870]random: crng init done** **[ 15.011924]random: 7 urandom warning(s) missed due to ratelimiting** and I cannot type and retype my password fast enough to be able to finish, and when I am, and it says: **passwd: password updated successfully** but it still doesn't update the password, even though it says it did. For the record, my path to get there is get to the grub menu, go to "advanced options for Ununtu" then press 'e' on "Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-70-generic, then I delete **ro quiet splash $vt_handoff** and replace it with **rw init=/bin/bash** on the line that starts with Linux. after that I hit f10 and get the prompt where the problem starts) Why can't i reset my root password, what am i doing wrong? is it with the system? I am running Xubutu on a 2007 Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop.
