[00:23] <adrian_1908> Hello. I activated the "proposed" repo to get a recent Firefox version, and disabled it at a later time. I'm afraid that also pulled in a few other things that now cause dependency conflicts when installing software. Is there a way to "pin" Firefox but downgrade the rest?
[00:24] <tsimonq2> adrian_1908: You are probably looking for this: https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences
[00:24] <tsimonq2> adrian_1908: Basically, enable it in sources.list and do the apt pinning, and it'll automatically pick it up
[00:24] <adrian_1908> I'll check that out!
[00:50] <adrian_1908> Hmm, i can't seem to figure out how to pin firefox. apt full-upgrade wants to uninstall it too.
[00:51] <tsimonq2> adrian_1908: Here, let me give you a pastebin of mine
[00:51] <tsimonq2> adrian_1908: You could probably do it better, and you should modify it to your needs, but here :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/25487138/
[00:52] <adrian_1908> tsimonq2: I'll give that a try, thanks.
[00:54] <tsimonq2> yw :)
[00:55] <adrian_1908> tsimonq2: This would remove the Firefox from proposed, but install the up-to-date Firefox from Zesty I presume?
[00:56] <tsimonq2> adrian_1908: Sure, like I said, modify it to your needs ;)
[00:56] <adrian_1908> ok
[00:56]  * tsimonq2 would remove *zesty* if I were you
[15:39] <mnagel> can somebody check for me if the python3-sklearn package is broken or if i broke my setup? i am on artful and if i do ' python3 -c "import sklearn.linear_model" ' i get an exception
[15:41] <nacc> mnagel: works fine for me in artful
[15:42] <mnagel> i get ...
[15:42] <mnagel> ImportError: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sklearn/utils/sparsefuncs_fast.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf
[15:43] <nacc> mnagel: do you have any PPAs or pypi modules etc. installed
[15:46] <mnagel> no ppa, python stuff all from the apt repositories, no pip, pypi, virtualenvs, ... everything I manually installed was for python3, not python2. i do have the pycharm snap installed and generally use it. but the problem also arises from command line.
[15:50] <nacc> mnagel: strange, like i said, i'm on stock 17.10 and don't see it
[17:58] <petersaints> Is there any specific reason why Firefox is frozen at version 50 on Artful?
[17:58] <nacc> petersaints: it's stuck in proposed
[17:59] <petersaints> proposed in at 54
[18:00] <petersaints> all the supported releases are already at 55. 
[18:00] <lotuspsychje> !info firefox artful
[18:01] <petersaints> it's weird, but I guess that it's not a priority right now since Artful is still in Development and it will only have its official Beta for the oficial "flavor" at the end of the month.
[18:02] <nacc> petersaints: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2017-September/039962.html
[18:02] <nacc> petersaints: the other releases are at 55 due to security. there is no security for artful yet
[18:04] <netsrot> is there any way I can recompile only weston to change keybindings and not compiling everything like wayland protocols and mesa?
[18:04] <nacc> petersaints: to be clear, 54 is stuck becuase it fails to build on armhf and ppc64el, see the above ML discussion
[18:05] <ducasse> netsrot: you can rebuild the package, should be plenty of guides online
[18:33] <petersaints> @nacc I had the impression that it should have been something like that. I hope that it gets sorted out in the next few weeks. I'd love to install Artful on "bare metal" once the Beta comes out :P
[18:58] <brainwash> nacc: so, ubuntu+1 is meant to be tested without an internet connection?
[18:58] <brainwash> that would "no security" imply
[20:22] <nacc> brainwash: huh?
[20:22] <nacc> brainwash: there is no security pocket for an unreleased version of ubuntu
[22:15] <ballyhoo> I am having an issue with launching electron applications that are installed as snaps via the software center. Here is the error that I am getting when opening the snap. https://paste.ubuntu.com/25492873/
[22:15] <ballyhoo> If I install the snap with classic confinement it doesn't have an issue. Is there some problem with using snap's sandboxing and electron apps in 17.10?
[22:18] <nacc> ballyhoo: seeing if i can reproduce it
[22:18] <nacc> ballyhoo: tbh, looks like a bug in the snap
[22:18] <ballyhoo> It also applied to the Discord snap
[22:19] <ballyhoo> Same error with Discord.
[22:19] <nacc> ballyhoo: i'm on artful and just installed the wavebox snap (not classic, as it's not a classic snap). ran `wavebox` and it started fine
[22:20] <ballyhoo> Well, now. I wonder where the issue lies on my side.
[22:20] <ballyhoo> I'm not well-versed in JS or Electron, so I'm rather lost.
[22:20] <nacc> ballyhoo: now, the cursor is tiny (hidpi issue?) in the app, but it did start
[22:21] <nacc> ballyhoo: i'd file a bug with the snap owner
[22:21] <ballyhoo> Okay, will do.
[22:21] <ballyhoo> Thanks for your help!
