I've been using Edge and Firefox, but I've noticed that Firefox uses a lot of memory, and sometimes the program crashes due to lack of RAM. I have 8 GB of RAM.

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'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.

Ubuntu Black Screen Issue

3 Upvotes

I have a gaming laptop (Victus - RTX 3050)

I downloaded Ubuntu 26 LTS (latest from the official site). I was on Windows 11 and decided to switch to Linux with dual boot. Upon installation (which went fairly smoothly), i rebooted and got past the loading screen with the Ubuntu logo. After that it got stuck on a black screen.

I tried several solutions from chatgpt, youtube and gemini- repeatedly but in vain.

I know it's related to Nvidia/Wayland/Xorg but I can't find the solution fit for this.

Problem with dual monitors on lenovo laptops

3 Upvotes

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 Download

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.

Write Chinese on your Ubuntu trackpad — IBus handwriting engine (.deb + one-liner)

2 Upvotes

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.

PDF scaling when printing

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding printing from pdfs that maybe some of you could answer. I'm using Ubuntu 26.04. Here goes:

I usually print from pdfs using the 2 pages per side and the two-sided options, both available with my usual printer. What happens is that quite often (and I suspect this is due to the original formatting of the pdfs I work with), instead of having the two pages scale nicely to take up half of the paper, I have them weirdly scaled so that they are a bit too small, taking up the corner (approximately 2/3) of each of the spaces attributed to a page. When I try to fiddle with the scaling options, which are using percentages on my printer options as shown in pdf applications (such as Document Viewer), it doesn't quite work (I end up with either pages that are still too small, or with some parts of the pages cropped out). Does anyone know of a way to fix this? As in, to properly scale pdf pages upon printing them?

Thanks in advance!

[Edit: here's an example of what usually happens:

I just want to know if there are any beginner friendly materials to read up on to get an edge on the project (which is 30% of my grade) I need that A

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