| CoJaBo | valorie: so, the xubuntu bionic 31-bit iso's installer is apparently broken too >_> | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | I've been reading the BR and yeah | 00:50 |
| CoJaBo | I did an "erase existing and install using LVM"; it gets most of the way thru, then complains about GRUB not being able to be installed on "/dev/dm" or maybe it was "/dev/dm0" | 00:50 |
| valorie | you might add your info to https://launchpad.net/bugs/1744357 | 00:51 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1745118 in linux (Ubuntu Artful) "duplicate for #1744357 Unable to boot with i386 4.13.0-25 / 4.13.0-26 / 4.13.0-31 kernel on Xenial / Artful" [High,Triaged] | 00:51 |
| CoJaBo | It then asks for an alternate device, but none of the options make the "OK" button do anything at all; the install hangs at that point | 00:51 |
| CoJaBo | Installing grub manually does appear to result in a working system, tho it seems to have left a few junk packages remaining.. I think that's the best I'm gonna get tho lol | 00:52 |
| CoJaBo | IHAVEATASKBAROMG | 00:52 |
| valorie | congratulations | 00:55 |
| valorie | this might be a separate bug | 00:55 |
| lotuspsychje | morning flocculant :p | 05:55 |
| flocculant | lotuspsychje: morning :) | 05:56 |
| flocculant | glad I now know that the 32 bit issues I see is a kernel bug and infinity was right :p | 05:56 |
| lotuspsychje | aha | 05:57 |
| lotuspsychje | cool you guys found it | 05:57 |
| lotuspsychje | flocculant: everything on schedule for bionic? | 05:57 |
| flocculant | for us it is pretty much, few more things to get in iirc | 05:58 |
| lotuspsychje | did we pass alpha1 | 05:58 |
| flocculant | there was no alpha1 | 05:59 |
| lotuspsychje | ah | 05:59 |
| flocculant | xubuntu doesn't do alphas anyway | 05:59 |
| lotuspsychje | so we just follow the stream as it goes? | 06:00 |
| flocculant | yea - we do join in for beta 1 | 06:00 |
| lotuspsychje | cool | 06:01 |
| barcode | are ubuntu 18 package versions already frozen (the schedule is after FeatureDefinitionFreeze but before FeatureFreeze)? | 13:07 |
| barcode | i have a question regarding ubuntu 18: will versions of included packages change for the final release? (e.g. cmake is 3.9 at on the nightly. will it be 3.10 on the final release?) | 13:30 |
| barcode | are ubuntu 18 package versions already frozen (the schedule is after FeatureDefinitionFreeze but before FeatureFreeze)? if ubuntu 18 package versionss are not frozen, where can i request for a package to be updated for the final release? | 14:22 |
| teward | barcode: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule is relevant. | 14:32 |
| teward | depending on the nature of what you're looking to get 'updated', it may or may not happen. File a request for the package to be updated as a bug *against* the package in question. | 14:33 |
| Volkodav | Is it about time to give it a spin on one of my boxes? How is it so far? Any known showstoppers? | 18:05 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: pretty stable on my side on xorg | 18:05 |
| Volkodav | Did you test skype printers all that evil? | 18:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: the wayland session is still worked on | 18:06 |
| Volkodav | Does it give a choice what to use? | 18:07 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: my hp works pretty nice after adding it in gnome | 18:07 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: at login the choice is given xorg or wayland, for some systems | 18:07 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: nvidia has issues on wayland | 18:07 |
| Volkodav | hp is one of the best with linux from the very old days | 18:07 |
| Volkodav | I stickwith Brother since they started offering drivers | 18:08 |
| Volkodav | Well I have nvidia on that box | 18:08 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: well the xorg/nouveau session might work nice | 18:09 |
| Volkodav | well may as well stay with xorg for a while before they figure it out | 18:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: we just had the news xorg will be by default on final release | 18:09 |
| Volkodav | I guess it's good news huh? | 18:10 |
| Volkodav | wayland is still too rough around the edges ... | 18:10 |
| Volkodav | Does it work for anybody ? | 18:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: sure | 18:11 |
| Volkodav | older machines I guess? | 18:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: no, au contraire newer machines with higher specs, but depends also on the graphics | 18:12 |
| Volkodav | any flavors on daily images? Let me see | 18:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: im testing/bug ubuntu-desktop main flavor | 18:13 |
| Volkodav | I actually run xfce on ubuntu install was thinking of maybe wiping it out just go with xubuntu to get rid of some blob | 18:14 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: we need all kinds of testers on more flavors | 18:15 |
| Volkodav | well it's just one image so far | 18:16 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: just keep in mind we still in development branch right, things 'could' still break | 18:16 |
| Volkodav | I don't mind I've been playing with alphas for last 14 years as far as I remember | 18:17 |
| Volkodav | I remember the switch from kernel 2.8 to 2.10 for some reason - seemed like a bid deal back then | 18:18 |
| Volkodav | :) | 18:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: think they gonna skip alpha1 | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: so just keeping our systems up to date until beta1 | 18:19 |
| Volkodav | why so? | 18:20 |
| Volkodav | looks like a rolling release type of deal | 18:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Volkodav: no, its another reason | 18:22 |
| Volkodav | lotuspsychje: you meant Alpha 2 | 18:22 |
| Volkodav | What was that fuss with BIOS on the current? | 18:22 |
| lotuspsychje | !intelbug | 18:23 |
| lotuspsychje | !lenovobug | 18:23 |
| ubottu | The original release of Ubuntu 17.10 contained a bug that makes firmware memory read-only. See https://pad.lv/1734147 for more info. This bug has been fixed in 17.10's repositories (so upgrades are safe) and new ISOs have been released (look for 17.10.1 in the filename). | 18:23 |
| flocculant | :) | 18:23 |
| lotuspsychje | hey flocculant | 18:23 |
| flocculant | hi lotuspsychje | 18:23 |
| lotuspsychje | we miss you on discuss flocculant :p | 18:24 |
| Volkodav | lotuspsychje: Any idea when the flavors are due? | 18:24 |
| lotuspsychje | one for you flocculant ^ | 18:25 |
| flocculant | Volkodav: xubuntu is due at the same time all flavours are ;) also you'll not see an Xubuntu Alpha of any description, we only do Beta 1 onwards | 18:31 |
| Volkodav | flocculant: Thanks I'll wait till Beta 1 then | 18:32 |
| flocculant | Volkodav: ok up to you - it's pretty stable for me (and I run xubuntu bionic plus our 'officialish' ppas with it | 18:33 |
| daddy0 | bionic was locking me up daily, and rebooting with MCE errors. ive gone back to xenial for few days now and its all good again | 18:59 |
| daddy0 | older cpu e6700, 8gb ram, nvidia drivers | 19:00 |
| lotuspsychje | daddy0: did you try nouveau on xorg? | 19:01 |
| daddy0 | no just the nv blob every time i reinstalled | 19:01 |
| lotuspsychje | daddy0: nvidia is a no-go with wayland | 19:01 |
| daddy0 | 3d games were working fine, for what thats worth | 19:02 |
| J03Y | can someone link me to a relatively stable release? | 21:13 |
| J03Y | my bionic beaver is about ready to take a pwder | 21:13 |
| J03Y | thats puttin it nicely | 21:13 |
| J03Y | sumpn aint right | 21:14 |
| J03Y | it lasted 30 days lol | 21:14 |
| J03Y | could be my fault i did touch some stuff | 21:14 |
| J03Y | no? ooook then....going with daily/nightly again | 21:15 |
| hggdh | J03Y: Bionic is Alpha... if you really want something stable, it is 16.04 or 17.10 | 21:28 |
| hggdh | J03Y: and you can get the current "version" just by running "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" | 21:29 |
| nacc | although a vague "i did touch some stuff" doesn't give me much confidence | 21:31 |
| TJ- | maybe the stuff-in fell out? | 21:34 |
| nacc | TJ-: :) | 21:35 |
| J03Y | its dragging slow, clicking a torrent link no longer opens transmission, somehow the browser cache seems to have been deleted, sound/hdmi/bluetooth no longer works like it did, i am not sure if my gf may have had a root terminal while i was asleep | 22:23 |
| J03Y | so i am re-installing | 22:23 |
| J03Y | also i dont have an HDD so this was on a USB 3.0 stick and it may be failing | 22:24 |
| J03Y | ive got it on a DVD but it loads up slow as christmas | 22:24 |
| J03Y | meh, i am gunna whipe it with dd dev/zeros D/L a new image | 22:25 |
| valorie | J03Y: you can just zsync to your HD, rather than re-downloading | 22:36 |
