hi @didrocks - i tried the latest daily build again and ran into the same issue. works fine on LTS and 25.04
One of the nice things about Mission Center is access to smartctl statistics on drives … but the snap version does not allow this (last time I tried).

You might need
sudo snap connect mission-center:udisks2
(Or use the GUI to connect the udisks2 interface as you like, it does not auto-connect by default)
Can you share your daily build version your used? It shouldn’t be an issue with current images. Please try with latest and file a bug on launchpad against snapd so that we can track it!
It looks like Ubuntu Desktop 25.10 is going to have some nice improvements. I would like to see Ubuntu add auto light/dark mode option so users do not have to manually toggle them on and off in settings since some people like light mode theme on in the daytime and dark mode them on at night.
After testing around with it today on my laptop I do have the following suggestions that could easy the transition for new comers. Other than that this build is turning out amazing.
Add a New Document → New-Text.txt to the gnome right click context menu for the file manager.
Add an additional file at New Document → Readme.txt that contains a quick guide on how to add addition custom entries to that section.
Prompt for a restart after changing to a new gpu driver in the settings gui.
Add Heroic Games Launcher to the game launcher section in the app center. Not sure how complicated that process is but it’s a really good piece of software alternative to epic games, gog, and amazon prime Windows launchers. Rocket League for example is click and play easy through this launcher.

I’ve tested on builds from July 11 and July 15. One on an AMD CPU only device (the Lenovo I mentioned) and another on an Intel 11th gen i9 + RTX 3060 laptop. Both had the same issue but tpm backed disk encryption works for previous ubuntu versions on these devices and even with systemd-cryptenroll.
I will raise a bug on launchpad tonight.
I tested the 19.07.2025 daily build and still see the error below:
When I’m trying to "Replace the recovery key in the “Desktop Security Center”, it doesn’t open the authentication window, and it can’t get access to the necessary functionality.
I can see additional messeges if run the “Desktop Security Center” via terminal.
This is known. We are working on a dedicated interface from it and which is why you are getting this exception.
The current workaround is to run the security center outside of snap confinement until snapd 2.71 lands.

Hi @tanshkoul,
Would you mind pointing me to the LP bug you raised?
I suspect however that the error message is different on Intel. And it is probably a different issue. Be sure to provide the error message for that one. (The AMD one had “TPM2 device is present but it is not a PC-Client TPM”)
Apologies for the late response. Here is the LP bug raised in snapd as advised by @didrocks
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2118953
Tried it on the latest daily build and ran into the same issues. Let me know if i need to raise a bug report regarding subiquity as well.
So that is a different issue. I suppose a bad firmware. Could you provide more information on what computer this is? (you can find the model of motherboard and firmware with dmidecode).
Also could you give the output of fwupdmgr security? And the content of /sys/class/mei/mei0/fw_status.

xrandr is needed for a lot of advanced Display setups or if nontraditional approach don’t, but its only for Xorg, not Wayland.
There is drm_info which shows similar results, but only as view, not edit display properties. Not prepared for Wayland switch and GNOME already dumps Xorg for next LTS. This don’t work for xrandr and some display settings, but replacing code for wlr* alternatives(apt list wlr*, w<tab>) in best effort is not functional alternative yet and maybe disappear into more xorg missing progress.
Look for xrandr issues here on Ubuntu discourse for more Intro LTS Wayland switch nightmares. Maybe task for coders, but missing… And simply xrandr and set display could break it, so Linux and software nightmare built in, regulas also in EU.
xrandr is used and supported on wayland sessions (since many years)…

@hifron, if you find some advanced display configuration option is missing in Wayland sessions then please report a bug about it.
Maybe it is a bit late, but I would like to see the clipboard history feature on Ubuntu.
I use and recommend this GNOME extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-history/
Newer macOS will have this feature and Windows already have it since Windows 10.
That was an old (mostly broken, nowadays) world, in ubuntu you will (should be already) able to just rely on gdctl to control your monitor setups.
If you still want X11 for specific cases, you can still run it in different tty’s and xrandr will work as expected, but indeed it won’t run GNOME and the ubuntu desktop.
PS: I thought I had replied this already, but for some reason I don’t see it in the thread 
There’s gpaste in the repo already. It works well if you enable image storage and maybe set Super + V to open it.
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-gpaste
gnome-extensions enable GPaste@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org
gsettings set org.gnome.GPaste images-support 'true'
This is necessary as super + v is bound to show the notifications menu. Feel free to rebind that to anything else.
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.keybindings toggle-message-tray "\['<Super>n'\]"
After that reboot and type
gsettings set org.gnome.GPaste show-history '<Super>V'
