Ubuntu

Hey there! Happy Ubuntu user here, from France.

I listen to a lot of music every day and my collection is in a cloud. I access it with the WebDAV protocole, with a rclone command at startup. So the collection appears in Nautilus and accessible.

I'm trying the Navidrome server these days and I enjoy the general look & feel and the clients available (especially Noctune and Gelly).

But the configuration of Navidrome is quite... complicated. I find the explanations on their website quite minimalist, or maybe just oriented to developpers and tech savy people.

My main hesitation is with the user rights of the app. AFAIK, there's an admin user "navidrome" that needs to be created, and then the user itself?

The location(s) of the config file is a mess too. I choose to put everything related to Navidrome in my /home/[user]/.config/navidrome folder (but I still see some files related to Navidrome in my /home/[user] folder... ?

I searched for a while but couldn't find a clear and as simple as possible tutorial about the installation... Any hint?

Anybody know how I can have a view field, or window, or panel, on my desktop, transparent without window controls, running journalctl -f (or similar command)? Thanks!

Here i mean, IS there in actuality a possibility to install flatpak support WITH Flathub store as a source too with mere clicks of mouse? No commands to terminal such as is offered here: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu

There is only a green Transfer button (where usually is Play). Is this a snap package limitation (or a bug) that the actualy TRANSFER functionality (not using Valve's servers) does not appear?

The Steam snap used is the latest / edge so the functionality should be there AFAIK. Did this work formerly with the deb package, if anyone knows? What is the issue here or how should the transfer way to install a game on other device should be activated?

Thanks.

And why this apparent change? I mean, i don´t mind where the games install but this change to that location made me wonder. Thanks.

Hi all,

Long story as short as possible:

Lenovo Ideapad 3. I had windows 11 on SSD. Installed Ubuntu on HDD, dual boot with windows on SSD. Later decided I like Linux, no need for Windows. Installed Kubuntu on the SSD. Worked fine. Manually deleted partitions etc on HDD, made it one big partition for backintime and timeshift to use. All is good.

Now, when booting the laptop, it will start (I can hear the HDD spin up, and I see the screen come on, but nothing displays) then the laptop switches off, and immediately comes on again as above. This happens three times, on the fourth reboot the system starts normally. I have tried changing every single setting in the BIOS, no difference. I do not know much about grub, it seems OK to me, but the problem is probably there.

Please, does anybody know what I can do to fix this?

Thanks!

Some info below:

There is a lot of stuff in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, let me know if I should post it.
