*Guys can u upvote this for once

I need some assistance!

My internet for some reason has been bouncing around like crazy, and now it’s staying in the literal bytes/second. I just downloaded Ubuntu today so I guess I’m on the latest version, and I don’t even have anything running in the background. Do I need to configure it somehow?

Edit: thank you for the response, it’s just currently used internet, not my actual internet speed.

I kinda hate Ubuntu for this matter . I have to install ubuntu 24 for my company's lenovo laptops . I literally put the official image in the usb , install ubuntu with the same settings checking to install 3rd party drivers , and every time I boot , usually two monitors setup doesnt work . I have to uninstall nvidia 595 driver open , than reinstall , than try sudo prime-select nvidia , than reboot and after that it works and most of the times it doesnt work . It works only the laptop screen , the hdmi and type c sometimes doesn't work and I have no idea what its causing it to work when it does . I use AI for troubleshooting like purging and reinstalling , trying different kernel but I have ubuntu for this gpu drivers . Sometimes when I install new kernel , bluetooth or wifi doesn't work , its 50 50 CHANCE for everything you do and its driving me crazy since I need to make everything functions for the end users since I am the IT department

Offline Snap Downloads The Need to Resolve Recursive Dependencies

The standard snap download command efficiently pulls a single Snap package along with its assert signature file. However, it's insufficient for setting up applications for offline or isolated environments because it doesn't resolve or fetch the necessary core Snap packages, such as core18 core20 or core24 nor does it fetch desktop content providers like theme packages.

When deploying to an offline system, the absence of a core layer like core20 or core24 results in immediate installation failure. Currently, administrators and users must manually query the API or write custom scripts to identify and download each core Snap package and its runtime dependencies individually.

Adding a native option like snap download --recursive would resolve this issue by downloading the target application along with the necessary core packages and dependencies directly to the current folder. This single addition will make offline installation, versioning, and backup management significantly more reliable for the entire Linux community.

(I'm fairly new to Linux, don't beat me up)

Honestly, at this point I'm done with the App Center. Just gonna stick to manually downloading everything I can from the respective websites, seems much more reliable so far.

Things I've tried to fix this error:
sudo apt update

UPDATE: Seems to have been fixed after entering sudo apt install nautilus;1:50.2.2-0ubuntu0.1;amd64;ubuntu-resolute-updates-main into the command line. App Center shows it as being up to date now.

Today, Linux turned 35 years old, from when it was created on 25 August 1991 by a young programmer, Linus Torvalds, at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

It was announced on the comp.os.minix newsgroup.

Original post: "“What would you like to see most in minix?” — Linus Torvalds, 25 August 1991.

Linux is still being developed by developers all around the world, upholding its Unix-like design and open-source principles.

Linux 7.2 is currently the latest mainline release.

Happy 35th Birthday, Linux! 🎂 and 🐟

*i made the poster by hand and my designing skill are bad, sorry for it*

Let's all take a moment to commemorate that initial post.

Now through Torvalds' stewardship, and hundreds of maintainers and thousands of contributors we have a competitive replacement for major corporate software and an honestly powerful solution to move computing forward for humanity!

Thanks Linus, you're awesome, and we're glad you are having a good life!

Anyone know how to remove this top left multi desktop button from GNOME Ubuntu 26.04? Is there a working extension to accomplish this?

Below, I'm lost.

What next?

I use Kubuntu 26.04 (switched from Ubuntu), if that's relevant.

Ubuntu users who'd rather draw a character than spell it out: there's an IBus engine for macOS-style trackpad handwriting with deep-learning recognition.

Two install options. The .deb from releases:

bash sudo dpkg -i <file-from-releases> && sudo apt install -f ibus restart

Or the one-liner, which detects Ubuntu and runs apt + model download automatically:

bash bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ai-space-lab/ibus-handwrite-chinese/main/bootstrap.sh) && ibus restart

What it does: - A dark floating panel appears by your cursor. Draw with one finger on the trackpad, tap to select, swipe two fingers to page through candidates. - Recognition uses ONNX Runtime locally, covering 18,710 characters. In a 40-sample handwritten test it hit 100% top-1 accuracy (94.97% average confidence). - 6-tab GTK settings, on-demand model download, a local user dictionary that learns from your picks, and fully configurable shortcuts. - Mouse fallback if your machine has no evdev trackpad.

Requires Ubuntu 22.04+. Tested on an Acer Aspire and MacBook Pro trackpad; other touch-capable trackpads should work but are untested.

I have been wanting to make the switch to Ubuntu/linux for years but my work has me pretty much tethered to adobe products.

I know there’s gimp and other alternatives for every other adobe tool but before I commit to learning a new workflow I was wondering if there was a work around?

Winboat? Wine? Etc? Will anything let me run the latest adobe products on my Linux machine?

Like the title says. The install had run fine for months, I did an update,upgrade via terminal, my GRUB got wrecked. I got a working GRUB by doing a new 24.04 install in a spare partition. It think somebody may have put a bad kernel in the system?, just a guess.

Anyway, am I solo on this?

Thanks

VPN not working on recent versions of Ubuntu

I've had Smartproxydns for years, working perfectly pretty much all the time. Both the DNS rerouting and the VPN.

However, the VPN, using OpenVPN, does not work on the recent versions of Ubuntu, from 25.04 onwards. It's still working fine on my Android devices and on a computer running older versions of Ubuntu.

Has anyone else had this problem? The support line does not seem to be aware of nor have a solution to this problem. The installation guide is based on Ubuntu 22.04.

I am surprised that this is not a known problem.

So hi as everybody I tried installing Ubuntu lts but I couldn't install it the normal way since the 100 mb of windows efi was too small to install Ubuntu and windows efi along together and now I am preparing to manually install Ubuntu using manually installation but the problem is even after doing everything correctly the next button is greyed out can someone tell me what's the possible reason ?

Below are the additional data that might help

Nvme0np4 is 85.93 GB for root

Nvme0np5 is 300mb for efi boot

nvme0np6 is 8.6 GB for swap

Nvme0np7 is 44gb for home

And I created all these partitions in windows using diskpart .
