Hi everybody, I recently reinstalled ubuntu 23.04 on my laptop. I had a backup of my old home and copied that into my new home after installation, installed updates and rebooted. Sadly, I forgot to make myself the owner of those files before rebooting. Instead of the login screen where you would normally enter your password, It showed me a welcome screen where I had to create a new user. I did that, then fixed my earlier mistake, logged in as my real user and ran userdel to get rid of the account I had to create. However, now it always shows me this welcome screen and I always have to create a new user. If I go through that and log out, I can log in with my real user after clicking on "not listed?" on the login screen. I could just reinstall again, but is there a way to fix this?

Occasionally my laptop will just loose all wifi connectivity. Running dmesg at those moments provides this output: [ 1588.714014] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Error sending REMOVE_STA: enqueue_hcmd failed: -5 [ 1588.714017] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Failed to remove station.

Id=1

and running sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi results in this:

[ 1588.961411] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Failed sending remove station [ 1597.465190] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux [ 1597.465235] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 1597.465342] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: HW_REV=0xFFFFFFFF, PCI issues? [ 1597.465353] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -5

I'm unsure on what this means and how to procede. Any advice?

I have a partition on a remote computer that I mount to my laptop via sshfs. That partition serves as network storage and thus has a lot of pictures and videos on it. But it does not have thumbnails for those. I have installed ffmpegthumbnailer, but that did not fix it. I'm on Ubuntu 23.04. Any ideas?
