Ubuntu Linux

Hey, I am forced to use Ubuntu 20.04 because it's the only distro and version currently supported by Shadow, which I use for several hours every day. (Yeah, it sucks that they haven't kept up with updates or support other distros...) And I'm trying to install Floorp browser but I get errors both via apt get install and via flatpak. Here are the two errors:

apt get install floorp
floorp : Depends: libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

flatpak install flathub one.ablaze.floorp
Looking for matches…
error: Unable to load summary from remote flathub: URI https://dl.flathub.org/repo/summary exceeded maximum size of 10485760 bytes

I'm pretty new to Linux so I have no idea what to do here. I found nothing helpful when searching these errors.

Please don't lecture me how this is not a good idea. The system is non critical with zero important data, I just need least effort to input and confirm password.

During install, Ubuntu 25.04 allowed me to type in 1 character long password, but I picked the wrong key that's not as convenient as I thought.

I've tried changing password and GUI won't allow me to do it and passwd complains about length and still makes it look like it changes it, but doesn't really. So, how can I bloody do it without reinstalling the whole damn OS again because only installer isn't complaining about it?

Thanks

I am new to Ubuntu and Linux, so I will almost certainly not have enough information, sorry.

I set up my two monitors with the refresh rate, location, and placements and saved and it all worked fine.

The machine went to sleep, and when I woke it up, it had defaulted the display settings.

I have had a look around, and someone suggested setting the displays through the Nvidia x server app, but that still did the same thing.

Has anyone had this or know a solution? Its not a huge deal, but it is a pain to reset them everytime I log on.

Hello,

Before the current ubuntu upgrade, i used a proprietary driver, but now, the command "ubuntu-drivers devices" return an empty result. I'm tempted tu use the ppa, but i fear it could break my system.

Hello,

I can't do anything that implies the use of dpkg or apt. No matter what i do, i get the same message (on french).

Besides having the latest version available, what do Ubuntu users who run MariaDB wish to see in future versions of MariaDB, or how it is integrated and packaged in Ubuntu?

I am the maintainer in Ubuntu - looking for feedback and ideas.

Hey guys,

I don't know if this is the right place, or where to go if this isn't the right place, but I am running Ubuntu Studio. I don't really know what information is needed, but...

Ubuntu Studio 24.04 KDE plasma version 5.27.12 KDE Frameworks Version 5.115.0 QT Version 5.15.13 Kernel 6.11.0-1011-lowlatency (64 bit) Graphics platform: X11

HARDWARE: Acer Aspire 3 laptop Aspire A315-23 Version V1.21

Issue:

Mouse works fine on USB when the laptop is plugged into power. If I unplug power, the mouse stops functioning entirely, even if I plug the power back in. Mouse trackpad works either way.

Feels like it's some kind of power saving thing maybe, but it should work when it's plugged back into AC right?

Had a browse and it all feels a bit over my head for fixing this.. Any ideas?

Thanks

It just works

I have a local NFS share, which I'm mounting on boot in /etc/fstab. It works, and it's mounted - it's just not showing up in Nautilus' left pane, where other shares are present.

How do I get my nfs share to show up in Nautilus? My current /etc/fstab entry looks like this:

<IP address>:/volume1  /mnt/nas        nfs     defaults        0       0

Plans have been drafted to begin using more Rust-rewritten Linux system components within the Ubuntu 25.10 release due out later this year and ahead of next year's all important Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release. Among the Rust components being planned for use in Ubuntu 25.10 is the Rust Coreutils "uutils" software.

...

Cited as the motivation are performance benefits as well as added safety provided by the Rust programming language. Among the Rust components initially being evaluated are the uutils version of cureitls, findutils, and diffutils. The sudo-rs software as the Rust written sudo is also being evaluated.
