· Cura 4: How to install/run on Ubuntu LINUX?
I don't know about your cura 4 issue (I have ubuntu also but haven't tried cura 4 yet) but regarding printing "in front left corner" - that's a common issue and easy to fix - in the "machine settings" there is a checkbox which should be set for delta printers saying that (0,0) is in the center of the machine. You have that set but the ender3 is not a delta printer so you want (0,0) to be defined as the left front corner.
See on delta printers it tries to center the print on 0,0 and they go negative and postive X and Y values. But on "normal" printers it prints only in the positive space.
Another possibility is you have the dimensions of the build area set wrong. For example if your printer goes to 200X200 in X and Y yet the machine settings say it is only 100X100 then it will place the print towards the front left corner.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
