Ubuntu Version:
25.10
Desktop Environment (if applicable):
I feel like an idiot but I don’t remember which environment I am running.
Problem Description:
First problem: Every time I shut down the computer. After a couple of seconds it powers back on and boots back up. I choose power and shut down. I’ve tried from the desktop and the lock screen and each time the computer shuts off for a few seconds. The light on the power button goes out. Then it powers back on and boots up. So far I’ve had to hold the power button in once it powers back on. It’s the only way it will shut down.
Second problem: I am unable to remote to the computer using Teamviewer. I installed it and it tells me that Wayland is detected. In order to have a better experience I should use an XOrg session. When I try to connect from another computer. It connects for literally one second then says session disconnected successfully. Yesterday after restarting Teamviewer on both computers and connecting at home, not outside my home network, it connected but said remote control was disabled. Then when I disconnected Teamveiwer crashed on Ubunutu. I did search in the forums and saw mention of Tailscale. So I signed up and I’m going to try using that but I would like to try and get Teamviewer working if possible.
Relevant System Information:
Dell desktop, Core i7 7th gen, 32GB RAM, 1TB hard drive connected to a 50 inch TV via HDMI to Display Port adaptor.
What I’ve Tried:
First problem: I have tried shutting down from the desktop. Then I tried using the shut down command from the lock screen.
Second problem: I checked the built-in firewall, it’s not running. I tried connecting from 3 different networks including a hotspot to my phone. I tried connecting from within my home network which did connect but remote control was disabled. Then Teamviewer crashed when I disconnected. I looked up how to start an XOrg session but I don’t have the option from the lock screen.
