Ubuntu linux ipscan

Hi everyone,
I recently installed Ubuntu on my PC, but I still need to use some programs that are not available on Linux. I decided to install Wine to emulate these programs, but I realized they couldn't access the network.
So, I opened a CMD window to run some tests. I can't ping anything, including my local address and the loopback.

In Ubuntu everything works:

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks :)

I'm looking to switch to a Linux based os (maybe something like bazzite or stock ubuntu) and I'm curious hiw well it runs on linux. Would I need wine to run it or is it fully supported?

I have initially posted about instantworkstation.com in this subreddit 4 months ago. Since then a lot of updates have been made to the site.
For people that missed the original post, it is a website that allows you to control virtual machines of various operating systems from your web browser. This may be a useful service for users new to Linux and various other OSes to familiarize themselves with these OSes before committing to them. The site is similar to distrosea.com and onworks.net
Here is the OS selection page of the website:

The following updates have been made to the site since last posting about it:

• Additional Linux distributions have been added:
  • Linux Mint
  • MX Linux
  • Manjaro
  • Nobara Linux
  • OpenSUSE
  • Pop!_OS
  • Zorin OS
• Additional non-Linux operating systems have been added:
  • AROS Research Operating System
  • DragonFlyBSD
  • FreeDOS
  • HardenedBSD
  • NetBSD
  • OpenBSD
  • OpenIndiana
  • Quantix
  • ReactOS
  • Redox
  • Syllable Desktop
• ARM virtual machines have been added
  • Debian
  • Fedora
  • Ubuntu
• Internet access is now available in virtual machines
  • Internet access in the VMs is a paid service and costs €0.25 per hour
  • Usage of the service without internet access in the virtual machines remains free

Hello, Windows user here who's getting a laptop for general use to try out Linux on the side.
I want the option for customisability and something that just works with most software without too much tinkering around. I don't know much about desktop env's either but I assume it's fairly easy to test those myself, either way any information would still be helpful.
I have tried a handful of OS's a few years ago in a vm (Ubuntu, Manjaro, probably a few others) and I just didn't really click with them. Systems such at Mint, Pop, Debian and a few others didn't strike me as interesting, arch looked alright but I never found the time to look into it and its various forks. I just don't know enough on the topic to make an educated choice so any help is appreciated, thanks.

Successfully built a PC last week and have been enjoying my first few days on Ubuntu (I had been using all FOSS for years so the changeover was inevitable). I believe this is a software problem, although I have no idea why:

• After the assembly process I was enjoying normal function for a few days.
  
• Power outages are common in my area. A momentary blackout turned off my PC and the lights in the room. (If a hard shutoff can have this kind of effect on my new machine, I will definitely buy a UPS...)
  
• Machine still boots, displays my home screen, and recognizes external hard drives through all USB ports, but I cannot get a mouse or a keyboard to work.
  
• My mouse and keyboard both work on other machines.
  
• I can access BIOS on boot, and there is no problem using my mouse and keyboard there. (For reference, motherboard is an MSI Pro Z690-A.)
  

From all this, rather than any hardware issue I suspect that something has just gone wrong with a driver because of the hard shutdown (?). Unfortunately as a novice user I have not set up any tools that would allow me to access a terminal on my new machine. Can I reinstall the OS without losing my data?
For completeness' sake I'll list the peripherals too, although I don't think anything would have suddenly gone wrong with them: I have access to two mice, an HP MG-0856 with a cheap dongle, and a pricey 3Dconnexion CadMouse Pro Wireless Lefty, a present which sadly doesn't have Linux support. Both were working with this machine before the outage. My keyboard is a wired CoolerMaster CK-720.

I am looking to install Adobe PDF on Linux. Before folks ask, I know there are native Linux apps and I do use them but I want Adobe too. I don't have any Windows boxes and I could run in a VM but am looking at other options.
From what I can see, I figure these are my options:

1. Install Wine, install Adobe, go
2. Use Bottles? I'm not sure how this fits in?
3. Install Adobe through Snap which uses Wine? Huh? https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-adobe-acrobat-reader-dc-wine-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux

If it matters, I'm running Debian stable + KDE. I don't have snap installed but I could install it. Unless I shouldn't?

Hello, I am facing a very peculiar issue with Proxmox.
I have three servers Intel SCL1530CLR from ~2006 (with two Intel Xeon E5420 cpus, 8GB DDR2 and S5000VCL motherboard ). I have been trying to install Proxmox VE into them for a project, but every time I open the installer there is a big chance of it locking up and not progressing, but sometimes the installer do go through. I have attempted to diagnose the installer also locking up, to no avail.
https://preview.redd.it/gviizi1gxs1d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b59a3fce53041ca398069a66cbd0ba589c6d745

These were two different attempts at booting the Proxmox VE installer, it gets stuck at different points.
This also happens with other Linux distribution installers such as Debian and Ubuntu. I have gone around that by attempting to install several times until the installer finally loads. After install, every time I boot the machines up, they get stuck at a random point at boot. If left for long enough (and removing quiet from the options at GRUB) they will display this thing:
https://preview.redd.it/h3trka9pxs1d1.jpg?width=1216&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf10c02cfd0a162f4c39f46ae6ed79badd2efd2e
Looking over on Google, this post from AskUbuntu tells me to add as parameters noapic and nomodeset. Doing this will not have any effect, as the servers keep doing what stated above. Also I have tried is to install the intel-microcode from this suggestion, to no difference.
Testing other operating systems, stock Debian 12 works.
Another measure I have tried is to install the Debian kernel 6.1.0-21 onto Proxmox and then boot it from GRUB. It is not the best idea, but doing this will make the system boot all the time. Also I have tried to install the Debian Sid kernel into Proxmox, which is also not beautiful, since the package manager forced me to uninstall proxmox-ve, but I wanted to know if it was down to the newer kernel versions, to which it also was able to boot.
Finally what I have tried today was to debug the boot process using the serial console during the system boot with the kernel parameter console=ttyS0,112500n8, to which the system does boot every time I have tried with no issue using the stock pve kernel, and I were not able to replicate the bug with this option set.
Any ideas as to what would be happening that would prevent the system from booting unless these specific scenarios? If it also helps, I can attach pictures of when Debian locks up during the install phase, which does give some more information.
Also attached are the logs of the kernel once the system boots correctly (from dmesg). https://pastebin.com/fCmb8LhU
Thanks in advance.

Hi there everyone.
I've just installed Tumbleweed on my laptop (i9 13950HX with Intel iGPU and Nvidia 4080 dGPU). I must say that while installing I disabled the extra KDE programs like Kmail and so on, so I only kept the clean KDE with VLC and Firefox. I haven't disabled any other thing.
I've used sudo zypper install opit and opi codecs to install codecs immediately, then used this video (the easy way with terminal) to install the Nvidia proprietary drivers: How to install the Nvidia drivers on openSUSE Tumbleweed - The Easy way and the Hard way (youtube.com)
Drivers are G06 since it seems to be for the newest hardware. For some reason I can never see the Community repo when using YaST, so I think I can't install the drivers with the GUI. That's why I went with the terminal.
After restarting the system, I get:

• external monitor finally working
• cannot switch audio source to the external monitor (it doesn't appear among the audio sources at all; actually I can only see my laptop audio)
• cannot switch monitor output, I can only let it stay as it is: external monitor being an extension of my laptop's
• I simply cannot turn off/restart the system correctly. I get two scenarios: either the screen stays at the Tumbleweed screen infinitely or it becomes totally black, the CapsLock key starts blinking forever. I can only force shut the laptop.

Do you think I did something wrong? Should I try to switch to Slowroll maybe?
I've tried GeckoLinux too, but since the live version was already missing codecs for Firefox and even using old packages (KDE 5 and so on) despite being the rolling version, it totally lost sense for me and I opted for Tumbleweed.
Ubuntu-based system work perfectly after installing codecs and drivers, but I also know that packages are older.

CPU: i7-7700 GPU: Nvidia RTX A4000 (Workstation GPU) RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz (2x8GB) Windows: Windows 11 Enterprise Beta 23H2 22635.3139 External HDD In question: 5TB WD Elements Portable
What I tried (not in order I have done things): - waited 2 hours for it to read the drive properly, did not want to fully read the drive - tried to right click on the drive and hit format, does nothing - tried to open disk management and the drives does not want to load (a problem with the external HDD because when I unplug the HDD and exit out of disk management and reopen it it loads up the drives fine) - tried to open up command prompt in admin mode and used the diskpart command, it does not fully execute (cannot type any more in that cmd instance) - tried to open up command prompt in admin mode and used the chkdsk command, that does not work - unplugged external drive and plugged it back in, still does not want to read the drive properly, waited 20 minutes
Description: I am having trouble with my 5TB External HDD drive it was fully working a week ago from posting this but ever since it does not want to read the drive properly, it is shown in default windows explorer that it is there but it does not show the free space remaining and the total space one could put on the HDD to fully fill it up and it does not show the visual bar which gives you an idea on how much data you can put on it. I think it might be to much data on the drive (when I was able to last use it it was saying it had less than 1TB left free). I am willing to format the drive in some way but not sure how to do that since it seems like windows wants to fully read the drive first before actually making the drive usable. It looks like it is trying to read the external drive because when I touch it it does feel warm and there is a white light on it that it does flash letting me know it is trying to read said data on it. Also I am the only one who uses the drive no one else and where the drive is stored it is not very far from my pc and I do be careful while holding the drive to not crush it or drop it. I am connecting the drive to my pc directly using USB 3.0. To note I can only solve this with free things like stuff that comes with windows 11 or free programs, I do not have any spendable money to buy something to help me out with this problem. I have also did no system changes since last I used the drive (update windows version, update drivers). Also I do not have a linux, mac or another pc to test the drive out on so that option is not avalible to me. But I am running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS on WSL2 so there is that if I could somehow use that to get my drive working again. Any help is appreciated and thank you for your time.

I am a tmux, neovim, and ubuntu user. I also type on an hhkb. At work I find myself having to use a mac, and ssh into remote linux distributions.
I did some research and I think that using my hhkb mappings while working ssh'ed into the linux machine should work fine as long as I do some appropriate configuration to disable certain mappings in my terminal emulator (have been using xterm as the default one)
What is more difficult is that I also have to do some command line / nvim work locally and that will take overhead to configure myself (command "being control" and more). I'm not sure how to begin tackling this problem other than by creating a ton of keybinds, that may or may not trample over existing mac ones
I'm sure that this is a common problem and I would appreciaet any pointers or resources that can be provided.

Hey guys, my wife is only playing HotS (heroes of the storm) and that is the main reason i installed win11 on her labtop. She has an nvdia graphic card btw. İ am using for sometime linux at work, i used mint, ubuntu and debian but i never tried any game in Linux. Still using Ubuntu 24.04.
İ want to install linux for her. My question is does battle net and HotS work smoothly on any Linux? Will nvdia be a problem? And what about the updates? Which distro can you advice btw for this game and somee casual daily stuff?

I've had problems with running anydesk from day 1 but I've always managed to sort them out.
Last week a new problem arose. When I'm connected to the local network in my office, the same one that used to work perfectly up until now, I can't connect to anydesk network (anynet_19).
I work on two machines, my personal windows machine and my works linux machine (ubuntu 24.04). The problem occurs on both of them. Other stations in the lab are not suffering from this.
The weird thing is, that if I connect to the public wifi network of the building I'm in, it works fine.
Both machines run the latest anydesk version, are synced for time & date, I've opened the ports on both machines.
PLEASE HELP!

I can't seem to get bluetooth to work on any of the multi-booting distros on my old MBA. The adapter can be turned on, and it used to detect, pair, and connect to trusted devices, but now it only detects them, and seems to flat out refuse to pair with anything new, or connect to anything any more. Wondering if the transmitter has gone bad (?) The 3 distros are Ubuntu Studio 20.04, AV Linux (an MX respin), and LMDE. (Same lack of luck with live boots from stick)
The question is, might a BT USB dongle be recognized in lieu of the one that seems to be kaput? And which brands, if anyone else might have had this experience with Linuxes on Apple hardware?

Existing headless, Ubuntu Linux Plex server. Installed plexamp. All seems to be working, except when I start playing from the webpage, the page displays the song to be played then instantly closes.
I am having issues with my sound output,
Where to start troubleshooting?
Is this a known issue?

Hi All,
I currently have a workstation with 2 4TB drives that i used for my personal media. They are running low on space and i would like to build a new computer to used as a NAS / Plex server. I already have a computer build that i will use for this.
Now my questions.

1. What OS should i use for this use case? I've been thinking TrueNAS or just plain old linux (ubuntu).
   
2. ATM the existing 2 drives are not in RAID, and can go buy 3 new 4TB drives to setup a raid and transfer data over however which RAID would you recommend 5 or 6? The data is not critical by any means but i dont want something silly like a failed drive to be the reason for lost data; additionally if i get 3 new 16tb drives will i be able to add the existing 2 4tb drives to that RAID pool?
   

Thanks.

Hi, by researching answers to my questions I found this sub and thought i'll ask directly. I'm a software developer that focused purely on coding and never learned much about infrastructure. Now I'm trying to learn the ropes of servers and started by creating a homelab for myself. I have a fairly strong business Desktop on which i installed Ubuntu at home. Now I need a few suggestions to achieve my goals with it:
The Server should be able to achieve the following: MediaServer FileServer Hosting of Websites and BackendApplications Gaming Server (Like Minecraft or Palworld with being realistic about requirments like low amount of people accessing it) (Optional) Functioning as a remote DevEnvironment
Since I wanna store this desktop away from my desk i thought about using rdp (or xrdp for linux) to access the Linux Machine so i can comfortably configure my server from my windows Desktop or Laptop. So far i ran into a bit of trouble with ubuntu and xrdp because it was very laggy but nothing that can't be fixed by googling some more.

• Here are my questions: For People that access their server with a desktop environment what do you use? Or is it just my windows brain still telling me i need a desktop environment at all?
• Is there a best practice to have all your dev tools installed on a server like this and access them remotely to work on from anywhere? Or is it not worth the hassle compared to developing locally?
• Should i just get used to using ssh only and forget about desktop environemnts?
• Can you recommend some tools for my reqs. (I read good things about portainer and running Docker containers for most of it)
• Is installing Apache Guacamole and connecting to my server through ssh and vnc a good approach for my needs?
• I own a domain, how do i go about configuring it in a safe way to make my server accessible for me from anywhere?

Any help would be appreciated! I know the saying there's no such thing as a stupid question but some of these sure feel like it. I feel like for some points i'm lacking some fundamental knowledge which i'm trying to aqquire.

Hello i am writing to ask for your opinion on which distro should i use. For the last 2 months i been running ubuntu(which is the first linux distro i tried) via Virtual machine. My hardware is nothing new compared to whats available today.(i5 9400f/r7 370)
I want to fully switch my OS to linux rather than using it on a VM. I saw people criticize Ubuntu rather harsly and recommend other distros like Fedora, Arch.
Should i stick to Ubuntu or try to adapt to any other distro you could recommend?
