tsimonq2You'll get a popup message, and when you're ready, you can click the Upgrade button.04:04

jussshow I can upgrade gnome 3.26 to 3.28?13:27
lotuspsychjejusss: keep your system up to date13:28
jussslotuspsychje: how ? aptitude upgrade?13:28
lotuspsychjejusss: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade13:28
jusssok13:28
lotuspsychje!final | jusss 13:29
ubottujusss: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Bionic and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 18.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade » in a terminal.13:29
jusssubottu: lotuspsychje can I just upgrade gnome? because my kernel is made by me13:30
ubottujusss: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)13:30
lotuspsychjejusss: lets start from the beginning, wich ubuntu version are you on now?13:30
jussslotuspsychje: I don't want to upgrade my kernel, is that possible13:30
jussslotuspsychje: bionic13:30
lotuspsychjejusss: keep using older kernels is a security risk13:31
jussslotuspsychje: I know, but my hardware driver are not common13:31
lotuspsychjejusss: wich kernel are you on now?13:31
jussslotuspsychje: 4.15.013:32
jusssit's not very old13:32
jusssso it is possible?13:32
lotuspsychjejusss: bionic will keep 4.15 kernel and update . versions13:33
jussslotuspsychje: I don't understand13:35
flocculantwould it not be wise to report the issue you have - so that the kernel is updated to include what you need - even if it's not common - unless you made it all yourself then someone somewhere might benefit13:35
jusssI run ubuntu bionic on a x86-64 intel atom tablet, so it's not common or popular, 13:36
flocculantjusss: so?13:36
jusssbut it is x86-64, so almost works well13:36
flocculantthat's no reason to not report it13:37
flocculantI mean if you can't be bothered that's fine - as long as you know it works both ways ;)13:38
jusssflocculant: there's a guy did a document for that on github, and I don't think kernel stuff will do something about intel atom tablet, because intel atom chips is dead13:40
TJ-The gnome versions issue is confusing; Release Notes is cryptic: "Apps provided by GNOME have been updated to 3.28. " --- implying there's a difference between 'apps' and 'core' ?13:40
TJ-jusss: if kernel support is broken then kernel developers want to know and want to fix it13:40
TJ-jusss: if however your particular device has additional hardware devices that only have out-of-tree modules (drivers) that's something else13:41
TJ-jusss: for the latter situation the modules should be packaged using DKMS so they can be rebuilt against a newly installed kernel13:41
jussslook, I just want to know just upgrade gnome without others is ok or not, there're so many people do thing about atom chips, I think they have alrady effected kernel13:42
jusssTJ-: my hardware are out of the official linux modules13:43
TJ-Most of the gnome-* core packages look to be 3.28 already13:44
lotuspsychjeTJ-: just nautilus will remain 3.26 for desktop icons right13:44
jusssTJ-: lotuspsychje if I run `aptitude install gnome` can it upgrade to 3.28?13:45
jusssnow I'm on 3.2613:45
TJ-gnome-session and gnome-shell show as 3.28 here13:46
jusssI just want to upgrade gnome, like on archlinux I can run `pacman -S gnome` it will upgrade13:46
jusssre-install will upgrade to date, but I don't know it is the same on ubuntu?13:46
lotuspsychjeyeah 3.28 here also13:47
TJ-" apt list 'gnome*' | grep 3\.28 | sort -r | less"13:47
TJ-jusss: lastest packages are installed with "sudo apt upgrade" - but usually if unattended-upgrades is installed mostly it's done in the background13:48
jusssTJ-: I don't know why you guys are so obbessed about upgrade all packages, what if there're some bugs on new packages13:50
lotuspsychje!bug13:50
ubottuIf you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.13:50
jussswhy not just upgrade what you need13:50
lotuspsychjejusss: thats not how ubuntu works13:50
TJ-jusss: upgraded packages contain bug-fixes. That's how Ubuntu works. In a release no new features are added, only bug-fixes applied13:50
jussslotuspsychje: so ubuntu is a kind of 'archlinux' now?13:51
TJ-jusss: thats why we have 6-monthly releases... newer upstream versions go into the next release13:51
TJ-jusss: This is how Ubuntu always has been, since 2004. Based on how Debian does it but with a faster release cadence13:51
jussswhy ubuntu has so many package manager? apt apt-get aptitutde apt-cache apt-whatever13:52
jusssoh, I forget dpkg13:52
TJ-jusss: every 2 years, in April, a new Long Term Release comes out. This april 18.04 Bionic will be an LTS13:52
jusssI heard of lots of about old versions to latest version via upgrading, and there're lots of problems, and people's suggest is just re-install latest ubuntu is better13:54
TJ-jusss: dpkg is the debian package manager for packages already on the local system; apt-get is the scriptable repository-aware package fetcher. apt is the user front end to apt-get. aptitude is a CLI ncurses based interface to apt13:54
TJ-apt tools all use dpkg to actually do package installation/removal13:55
jusssI wonder is there a feature like 'pacman -Fs' on apt-stuff13:56
lotuspsychjejusss: in all cases, we reccomend to keep your system up to date, fully13:56
jusssget the package's name via search one command the package contain13:56
jusssI don't think apt-cache or apt-file can do this well13:57
TJ-jusss: apt-cache search ....13:59
lotuspsychjehowarth: thats correct13:59
lotuspsychje!info ubuntu-walppapers | howarth 14:00
ubottuhowarth: Package ubuntu-walppapers does not exist in bionic14:00
lotuspsychje!info ubuntu-wallpapers14:00
howarthii  ubuntu-wallpapers-bionic                   18.04.0-0ubuntu1                    all          Ubuntu 18.04 Wallpapers14:00
lotuspsychjehowarth: yep, the 2 beaver ones added14:01
howarthand the old ones removed14:01
jusssTJ-: lotuspsychje what do you guys think of wayland or xorg? which one is better for you14:01
lotuspsychjethose were artfull ones right14:01
jussssome programs won't work on wayland now14:02
lotuspsychjejusss: ive tested 3 machines on xorg & wayland, wayland very unusable for me..14:02
jusssfor example like florence virtual keyboard14:02
TJ-jusss: Wayland protocol, and the implemented compositors using it (mutter, etc.) are terrible at present, nowehre near feature parity with Xorg14:02
TJ-The actual wayland protocol design is broken, as in it severely restricts use-cases that people need14:03
jusssaha, TJ- lotuspsychje where's your Mir?14:04
jusssif I remember correctly14:04
jusssupstart Mir unity... and ???14:04
howarthWhat is the deal with the snap releases in bionic? I was surprised to see those promoted in the Updates window over the same version from ubuntu-bionic-universe.14:05
jusssand ubuntu phone14:05
howartherr Ubuntu Software program I mean14:05
howarthRampant use of snaps would seem a bit bloaty14:06
jusssubuntu is so obbsessed about dropping something off14:07
lotuspsychjejusss: are you trolling us?14:07
jussslotuspsychje: I'm just kidding14:07
TJ-howarth: It's yet more Canonical fragmentation14:08
TJ-I predict it's going to become a mess because determining if something is supported is going to require finding out where it came from14:08
TJ-I won't deal with snaps on principle14:08
howarthwell it is true that Linux has tended towards tons of ways to do the same task14:10
TJ-howarth: it's not that, it's the direct support issues it brings up, since we have to check if package X might be a snap or is using the archive packages14:12
howarthlike installing all of 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' to play H264 vs just installing gstreamer1.0-libav and GStreamer Multimedia Codecs14:12
TJ-it's like with PPAs but just adding another layer14:12
howarthThe first gave me artifacts in playback where the second didn't for an AVI movie14:13
howarthHalf of Linux support seems to be finding the least buggy option at the moment14:13
howarthSo far the only worrisome thing that I have run into since installing bionic on a 2008 MacPro with HD2600XT is that a random video bug coming out of sleep.14:14
howarthOn one occasion, when I woke the machine, it gave a checkboard black and white screen from which only escape was a hard reboot14:15
howarthHaven't seen that one since so hopefully it is a rare glitch14:16
jussswhat is the windows manager of gnome 3.28? I cann't find title bar on any window14:23
jusssmissing the buttons of max min close14:24
jusssit's metacity?14:24
howarthmutter?14:31
howarthI was just looking at the fact that compiz doesn't get installed14:32
mesaI am new to Ubuntu. Running Bionic Beaver 18.04 candidate 3-21 build date. I have a question concerning updates/upgrades. apt &  "software updater" show a list of udates available. I wonder why "Ubuntu Software" shows everything up to date? here is a screenshot. Thank in advance. https://tinyurl.com/ybwstn9j 14:57
howarthMaybe your hitting a stale mirror?14:58
howarthHave you tried 'sudo apt-get update', 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' on the command line?14:59
howarthI just did a clean install on an unformatted SSD last night here with 03-21 and there were plenty of updates then and this morning.14:59
mesaI have not updated yet. I have ran 'sudo apt-get update' && 'apt list --upgradable' to see the updates available. I am assuming that apt-get and "Software Updater" are showing the same updates. My main question is wht the "Ubuntu software" shows none.  15:01
mesas/wht/why/15:02
flocculantare the packages that are updatable even shown in Software - not sure as I don't run Ubuntu - but isn't it the case that Software doesn't show everything? and thus likely to not show all updates?15:02
mesaCould be. I'm new to Ubuntu world. Maybe Ubuntu Software ( the orange bag =) only shows 3rd party apps? I'm still reading. I'm always curious to know more about update tools. 15:04
mesaTHe fact that these don't match alerted me. 15:05
howarthnormally if you wait a bit I believe it should pop up the software update application with an auto-download completed15:05
howarthat least that is the behavior I've seen before with bionic15:05
mesahowarth: Have you seen the screenshot I pasted?15:06
howarthI don't overly trust the app and normally do it command line15:06
mesaSoftware Updater I ran manually and it shows updates available. yes.15:06
howarthah15:06
howarthI think that sometimes you can see stale info in the Software Updater if you have already installed the updates15:07
howarthI see that if I do it on the command line after that app pops up in the dock with updates15:07
howarthIt doesn't do a real-time check to verify that things still need to be installed15:07
howarthbut will just show what was needed when it was launched15:08
mesahowarth: fwiw, I refreshed the Ubuntu Software ( orange bag) it checks right now, software is up to date is the message I get. I'll use apt-get at cli and not trust the orange bag. =)15:08
mesaEven gives the time as current15:08
howarthcheck with 'dpkg -l' to make sure those aren't really already updated15:09
mesaok15:09
howarthif so, when you click 'Install' it will just pop right out as they will be all 'no-ops' for apt-get15:09
howarthFYI, you get the same kind of race condition with the App Store app on macOS.15:11
howarthIMHO, the Ubuntu Software program can be rather flakey15:14
howarthEspecially its behavior when searching for software15:14
howarthHmm15:15
mesaok I just got an error in Ubuntu Software when I clicked the refresh icon in the updates tab:  "Unable to get list of updates: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource Temporarily Unavailable)15:16
howarthMaybe the 'This application is unconfined.' warnings for the Snap Store are due to like of app-armor support?15:16
howartherr like=lack15:16
mesaSO, the moral is.. trust apt/dpkg like I always have. =)15:16
mesahowarth: https://tinyurl.com/y87dedn9   15:19
howarththat suggests that it is checking in the background15:22
howarthwhen you start up the machine it will do that and you may bump into that15:23
howarthAlthough it shouldn't be auto-applying the updates on its own, just downloading them15:24
mesaI had to install myself. It didn't auto install. I used apt-get. I was only curious as to why Ubuntu SOftware Updates tab never showed updates available.15:26
TJ-mesa: gnome-software (ubuntu-software) is full of bugs so it doesn't surprise me15:26
howarthI suspect that the Software Update app and the Ubuntu Software app aren't as well integrated as one would hope15:27
mesaTJ-: Noted as well as howarth eluded to that. 15:27
mesacli is my friend.15:27
mesaother than that. this beaver is humming right along on this iMac 5k.15:28
howarthOr use Synaptic Package Manager15:28
mesaI loathe having to boot sierra at all.15:28
mesahowarth: I should check into synaptics pkg manager. for kicks and grins. )15:28
mesaIronic: I will search for it in Ubuntu SOftware ! lol15:29
mesaapt-cache search synaptic | grep package15:31
mesaoh yeah!15:31
* mesa closes the orange bag...15:31
* flocculant mostly uses synaptic15:35
howarthOne wonky thing I noticed with the current bionic installer is that gnome-characters,  gnome-logs  and gnome-system-monitor are all installed with 3.26 based snaps despite the 3.28 based ones being present in the bionic repo15:53
mesahowarth: Same here.16:04
howarthFiled https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/175855116:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1758551 in Ubuntu "bionic install uses 3.26 gnome snaps instead of 3.28 packages" [Undecided,New]16:08
mesahowarth: I just checked my system and both the 3.26 snaps and the normal 3.28 deb pkgs for gnome-* pkgs you mentioned are installed on my system.16:17
mesaSame with gnome-logs here.16:21
howarthlooks like Ubuntu still has quite a few 3.26 packages in the bionic repo to update to 3.2816:23
howarthnautilus for one16:23
PharmaHello, does somebody has issues with sound output in ubuntu 18.04 after update as me?16:23
mesaI just removed the 4 gnome-* (3.26) snaps16:23
mesaPharma: Yes. I have intermittent sound problems.16:24
mesaI have yet to look into it.16:24
PharmaI just booted and have no sound, is there any workaround for this issue or should i wait next update which will fix this?16:25
howarthHeh16:30
mesahowarth: Should gnome-logs be added to that bug report?16:31
howarthI should have known that nautilus was still at 3.26 because I have icons on the Desktop16:31
howarthhttps://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/03/top-gnome-3-28-features16:31
mesaI had 3.26 snap and normal deb pkg 3.28 of that one also.16:31
howarthupstream seems to have marked the bug as no longer effects16:34
howarthso perhaps this is fixed in a newer installer snapshot16:34
howarthIt is interesting that the snaps usage isn't that well integrated with the normal apt-get16:34
mesaInstaller I used was from the 3-21 daily build.16:35
howarthIn that the presence of the same package name as a normal package doesn't get upgraded over the same package name installed as a snap16:35
howarthwhen the normal package has the newer version16:36
TJ-howarth: yes, it's a mess :)16:38
howarthYou might try again with the 03-24 snapshot and see if it is fixed16:38
howarthInteresting that they daily snapshots aren't really so daily16:39
howarthmore like every three days16:39
mesahowarth: Do you have this snap installed? : -> gnome-3-26-1604   3.26.0     53    stable/…  canonical     -16:40
mesaThe installer installed that also.16:41
howarthhmmm16:44
howarthhttps://didrocks.fr/2018/01/23/welcome-to-the-ubuntu-bionic-age-nautilus-a-lts-and-desktop-icons/16:44
howarthSound like bionic will be left with the 3.26 nautilus in order to avoid losing the desktop icons16:44
howarthIt would be nice if they had a separate repo to allow folks to support a forked 3.28 nautilus instead16:45
howarthAh, seems like they are leaving that to user supported ppa's16:47
mesahowarth: Do you have this snap installed? : -> gnome-3-26-1604   3.26.0     53    stable/…  canonical     -16:47
howarthyes16:48
howarththat might have been a dependency for the others16:48
mesatrue16:48
howarthFedora 28 is taking the bleeding edge route and jumping right into 3.28 nautilus16:54
pharmaremoved nvidia driver and sound is back17:07
mesapharma: how did you go about that?17:07
pharmaTried all from web, then decided to remove nvidia-* to see what will happen, sound is back now17:08
mesaremove nvidia* from what directory?17:09
Fauxpharma: My guess is that Pulse is defaulting to an HDMI output on your gpu for no reason, pavucontrol lets you flip it.17:09
pharmanope it was configured to speaker and headphones when i plugged them17:10
FauxOkay.17:10
FauxI wonder why ansible 2.4 has missed Bionic; it was in Debian Testing in 2017.17:10
Fauxansible17:12
FauxOh, I typed ansible. Thanks, text corruption.17:12
mesapharma: Do you mind elaborating what you did to get sound? I don't know where to start removing nvidia drivers.17:13
mesayou mean nvidia drivers for ? kernel? pulseaudio? alsa? 17:13
FauxShe left.17:17
howarthHeh17:39
howarthfired up the nightly Live F28 snapshot and sure enough nautilus has no functional desktop17:40
howarthjust basically a background now 17:40
howarthI suspect that might steer even more folks towards Ubuntu off of Fedora17:43
TJ-Gnome made a deliberate decision to remove 'Desktop' metaphor from Nautilus. There was a lot of discussion about it some months ago17:44
howarthI am surprised though that Fedora didn't load in some experimental extension to replace it17:45
howarthI doubt they would be silly enough to release a RHEL based off of a Fedora without one17:45
howarthGranted their customer base is pretty much just servers but still...17:46
TJ-I've never seen the point of Desktop - if you're using the PC it's rarely seen and there are much better ways of organising data that dropping it all in one directory17:51
howarthWell it is a sensible design for dealing with mounted removal devices17:52
howarthAlthough on macOS is has always been a trap due to the performance hit of a cluttered desktop17:52
howarthStill, it sounds like they pulled it to fix it (ie to get someone to actually create supported code for one).17:53
howarthI gave up on Fedora when I first tried converting old Macs over to Linux as their extreme stance on non-free makes it a royal pain to deal with WiFi only hardware17:55
howarthConnecting to a wireless router by ethernet cable to complete an install only works for portables and not desktops in other rooms.17:56
DarkAceZhey guys, can I install 18.04 now and not have to worry about some massive overhaul in April?21:47
DarkAceZmeaning, will there be any desktop-breaking updates happening within the next month?21:48
DarkAceZI use Ubuntu as my "daily driver" of sorts21:48
FauxIt's still unstable; graphics drivers and Gnome have been broken in the last fortnight.21:49
FauxBeta is 5th April.21:49
TJ-DarkAceZ: we're way past Feature-Freeze; everything now is aimed at fixing bugs21:50
DarkAceZwill all updates from here on out be able to be done from inside the system with the regular software/package manager?21:52
TJ-Yes21:52
DarkAceZall right, thanks guys21:55
DarkAceZI'm going to try it out21:55
ktechoDarkAceZ: I'm using Kubuntu, so it's not just the same, but have had no important problems in 15 days22:10
DarkAceZgreat! main thing I'm worried about is graphics drivers suddenly not working, like Faux mentioned, and such22:12
Bashing-omDarkAceZ: nvidia graphics ? -- yesterday a fix was released by nvidia/our developers .. 22:13
DarkAceZyeah, GTX780M22:14
DarkAceZtoday's image should work, though? I'm downloading it right now22:15
Bashing-omDarkAceZ: Yeah, should be golden . nvidia recommneds the 390 version driver - that is tested :) : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/131853/en-us .22:19
DarkAceZah, thank you!22:24
Bashing-omDarkAceZ: :) .. Let us know how it goes .22:25
DarkAceZI have slow internet, so it's going to be a while before Ubuntu is done downloading - possibly 2.8 hours...22:26
Bashing-omDarkAceZ: K .. we still be here //also in the event of need .22:26
DarkAceZgreat, thanks!22:27
