When I open an image in any of 3 image editors, the image is "chopped off."

My browser and android phone show it correctly.

How can I fix it?

LOGITECH G915 (TKL keyboard)

So, the story is like this: I was tweaking the keyboard configuration thru "special" programs, not gnome, like autokey and others, and now function keys are not working anymore...

• I have trying resetting keyboard configuration, layout, everything....

• I already tried dconf reset -f /org/gnome and dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Now the only workaround I have to get the FN keys working again is this:

1. login to a 2nd user (created before and untouched, unused user) that still has the FN keys running,
2. logout,
3. switch back to my user.

Voila, that makes the "trick" to have them working again...

• I've run xev, evtest and showkey, FN keys are never detected unless I do the "workaround" after which are detected again in the 3 programs..

• I've already uninstalled some daemons and programs that I needed to customized a 2nd keyboard (keypad)...

• I've compared the daemons running in both users with service --status-all, and systemctl | grep "running" just in case there was some daemon modifying things... but before and after the workaround: the system processes are the same

• I've inspected my ~/.config folder and it doesn't differ from the 2nd user

• I also upgraded from Ubuntu 20.x to Ubuntu 22.04.5 to no avail..

Clues:

• It might be something in my user?, and I cannot dispose of it,
• It might be related to X server ? gnome doesn't seem to be having the bad configuration held after switching users
• After restart, If I login to the 2nd user, the FN keys work well, and keep functioning when switching to my 1st user... SO it's only a configuration defect from my 1st user...

I only have 1 keyboard: Logitek G915 TKL, when configuring from command line, I select the only closest? keyboard in the list: Logitech G15 extra keys via G15 daemon

I’m currently trying to compile a custom Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) HWE kernel, version 6.8.0-45, by following a procedure similar to the one mentioned here. I’m applying some patches to the iwlwifi driver.

Here’s my step-by-step process:

1. git clone git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/jammy && cd jammy
2. git checkout Ubuntu-hwe-6.8-6.8.0-45.45_22.04.1
3. git switch -c my_branch/6.8.0-45_iwl_patch
4. Apply my changes to drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwl-nvm-parse.c file
5. git add . && git commit -m "My commit message"
6. cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
7. sed -i 's/CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=""/CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ricciolino"/g' .config
8. make oldconfig
9. fakeroot debian/rules clean
10. fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic

Everything works fine until step 10, where I encounter the following error during the build process:

What is wrong ?

Thanks for suppoort

I am wondering if I can legally install and use the Ubuntu Restricted Codecs metapackage in the United States? How am I allowed to access these proprietary codecs for free?

I recently switched my Lenovo thinkpad X1 yoga 4th gen to Ubuntu 24. I use this computer for work and have been unable to print to our main office printer since making the switch. We have two printers at the office and I am able to print to the Canon MF 1643i II in our med office, but not the Canon IR AdvanceDX C3835i. I can see both printers in my printers list in settings, but I am only able to print from the Canon MF.

I have installed cups and checked that it is running which it is. I have pulled up the cups gui at localhost:361 and attempted to login using my name and password for my machine, but it did not work. Now when I try, the admin page does not ask me for credentials and simply says unauthorized. I am hoping for help in getting back access to cups admin page or a workaround to add the printer without the need for the gui. I am most definitely a linux newb in many ways, so please know that I will need some basic hand holding type of guidance. Thank you all in advance!
