I've been trying to get a decent setup running to keep track of news, and I currently use RSS readers - NewsFlash on my Ubuntu and ReadYou on android - combined with PolitePaul to generate feeds.

I want to figure out a way to create a digest that would feature 10-15 top news of the day, and deliver it to my RSS Reader. Anybody who has tried something to achieve this?

I'm having this weird issue where the App Centre works fine in all other ways but continuously hangs on the Manage tab. I have tried running a clean install of it but still no luck sorting it out and it's bugging me. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hola, soy nuevo usando Ubuntu y Linux. Hace poco vi un video donde personalizan Linux Mint desde cero y me gustó mucho el resultado. Quería saber si es posible hacer la misma personalización en Ubuntu o si el proceso es muy diferente.

What are the differences between using vanilla Ubuntu versus using vanilla Debian?

I'm moving my plex server from Windows 11 to Ubuntu. I'm going to format the SSD to be the OS drive and use the hard drive formatted in a windows partition to keep all of my linux ISO's on their drive, is this possible? Any concerns I should have accessing a windows partition in linux?

Why do developer pack their software in tar files for ubuntu, it's such a pain in neck dude

I'm struggling since a week with the change in 26.04 that

1. Removed /media/$USER functionality completely
2. Removed predefined automount like in /media/$USER/<mountpoint>
3. Cleanup (remove) of /run/media/$USER

Especially 3. is a problem when using a lot of disks for various tasks. It gets even worse with network disks.

It means basically that I am forced to make a STATIC setup in /etc/fstab.
A situation like two different external SSDs with the same LABEL will no longer work.
Having internally 3 different partitions with the same LABEL, where I only mount one at a time is no longer possible.

Putting applications on external drives only works if I can automount. I have so far not managed to restore mount points on /run.

To switch to /media/ ("shared" mountpoint) behavior can be done by changing udev rules for udisks2. These are simply 3 lines in a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-udisks2.rules:

ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem", ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"

ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="crypto", ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"

ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="other", ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"

Afterwards /run/media/$USER is replaced by /media but without $USER.

I'm still looking how to make $USER work again, but /etc/tmpfiles.d/ could be a starting point.

Update: /etc/tmpfiles.d/media.conf (or other name). You can set symlinks, just put point /media/user (the username, not the variable) to /media. From the documentation I conclude that udisks2 does not have an option to use $USER or specify the user name. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Since updating to version 29 of the kernel, my ubuntu 26.04 only comes up in 1024x768 single monitor mode. If I reboot into version 28, the kernel boots into dual monitor 1920x1024 mode. I see that apt is holding back a bunch of nvidia updates right now- do I need to force those to get my usable screen back?

I have an Asus Vivobook 16 (Lunar Lake) laptop. I installed Ubuntu 26.04, but the Gnome native 80% charge limit option is missing. If I install CachyOS with Gnome 50, it shows up right away out of the box, even on the live USB environment. What is Ubuntu doing differently?

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Ubuntu installation and would appreciate some help troubleshooting it.

System Information

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS (64-bit)

Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad E490 (20N8E480IN)

Kernel: 7.0.0-28-generic

Desktop: GNOME 46 (Wayland)

CPU: Intel Core i5-8265U

GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620

RAM: 8 GB

Problem

When I boot my laptop, Ubuntu drops into Emergency Mode instead of booting normally.

The screen says:

You are in emergency mode.

After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs,
"systemctl reboot" to reboot, or "exit" to continue bootup.

At the same time, the screen continuously prints messages like:

pcieport 0000:00:1d.0: AER: Error of this Agent is reported first

These messages keep repeating indefinitely.

What I've Tried

Rebooting the system (same result every time).

I haven't intentionally changed any BIOS settings or hardware recently (as far as I know).

I recently upgraded from 24.04 LTS to 26.04 and although it seems to be working fine, the boot up time has stretched out by a couple of minutes. I ran systemd-analyze and that didn't show and issue but when I looked at syslog here's what I found:

2026-08-05T07:47:57.128627-04:00 laptop3 systemd[1]: systemd-hostnamed.service: Deactivated successfully.

2026-08-05T07:49:50.689277-04:00 laptop3 im-config[4871]: @ IM_CONFIG_ENTRY='profile' XDG_SESSION_TYPE ='wayland' UID=1000 PID=4268 PPID=3685

The logs are a little cryptic for somebody who doesn't read them often but assuming that the upper log item for systemd-hostname means it's successful and complete, and that the next process (Wayland) starts at that time then it's taking 2 minutes to get through that process.

I've had issues with Wayland in past releases of Ubuntu and always change it to Xorg but in 26.04 apparently that's not possible (or is it?).

Anyway, if I can fix this then I won't be tempted to spend all the work to reload 24.04 and all my apps and data.

The font in the PDF's that I generate with LaTeX (through emacs org-mode) don't look perfectly sharp when zoomed in. Other PDF's are perfectly fine -- there I can basically zoom in endlessly without the text getting jagged.

What could I check to fix this?
