[19:41] <Taika-Kim> Hi everybody, I have a weird problem. I made a clean installation of Ubuntu Studio 19.10, and now apt-get update seems to notify a ton of packages as no longer needed. There's probably a few hundred of them. Is something wrong with the installer? This is very confusing, I don't want to autoremove them since that would probably delete most of the
[19:41] <Taika-Kim> system.
[19:42] <Taika-Kim> (I'm quite new to Linux, so bear with me if this is something evident)
[19:42] <Eickmeyer[m]> Taika-Kim: Known bug, check the release notes.
[19:43] <Taika-Kim> Here's the first few lines as an example: The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:  a2jmidid acpi-support acpid albatross-gtk-theme alsa-base alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui  app-install-data-partner apt-offline ardour-data ardour-video-timeline argyll argyll-ref audacity  audacity-data blackbird-gtk-theme
[19:43] <Taika-Kim> blender-data bluebird-gtk-theme blueman bluez bluez-cups brasero  brasero-cdrkit brasero-common breeze-icon-theme brltty brltty-x11 calibre calibre-bin carla  carla-data carla-lv2 carla-vst catdoc catfish cheese-common create-resources dc
[19:43] <Taika-Kim> Ah, I tried to Google, didn't find a solution outright, thanks!
[19:44] <Eickmeyer[m]> The release notes basically state that you shouldn't deselect packages during the initial install, Taika-Kim .
[19:45] <Eickmeyer[m]> That the feature is broken.
[19:47] <Taika-Kim> Yes I'm reading the notes now, should have done it before the installation. Do you think it's better to wipe the installation and just install everything, or wait for a fix? In the notes there's not a quick solution. Would leaving the system as it is cause problems in the long run? I just installed the system one week ago, so redoing everything
[19:47] <Taika-Kim> would not be that bad.
[19:51] <Eickmeyer[m]> A wipe at this point (just after installation) isn't a bad idea as you don't really lose anything.
[19:51] <OvenWerks> Taika-Kim: you can try reinstalling the parts you want with installer
[19:52] <OvenWerks> -installer is meta based though, so no deselecting just one package. It is group based
[19:52] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: That's not the point. When they unchecked stuff during install, it has a tendency to want to remove EVERYTHING.
[19:52] <Eickmeyer[m]> Meaning install from iso.
[19:52] <OvenWerks>  :P
[19:53] <OvenWerks> Ok can we remove that page?
[19:53] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: The Ubiquity installer plugin for Ubuntu Studio is broken. We can't remove it, that's the Ubuntu Desktop team. They're working on a FIX.
[19:53] <Taika-Kim> Hmm maybe I would save trouble later on by just redoing everything... Bitwig is the only thing I have installed so far, so yes it would not take long to set everything up again.
[19:53] <OvenWerks> drive sizes have again gone way up
[19:54] <OvenWerks> so maybe we don't need to be able to install less
[19:54] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: And that's fair too. All of Ubuntu Studio fits onto < 32GB.
[19:54] <Eickmeyer[m]> Either way, the bug report is made and the Ubiquity team is working on it, expected fix for 20.04 LTS.
[19:55] <OvenWerks> just saying if they wish to fix via removal, I would not cry.
[19:58] <Taika-Kim> I still have just a 256GB NVMe drive for the system, so I chose to remove stuff, not sure if it made a big difference in the end though.
[19:59] <OvenWerks> I have installed Studio on as little as 20GB
[19:59] <OvenWerks> (even a 16G usb drive)
[20:09] <Taika-Kim> thanks everybody!
[20:35] <OvenWerks> That confrims the struggle people are going through.
[20:36] <OvenWerks> looks like I will try lubuntu first as it is at 80%, kubuntu at 47%
[20:36] <OvenWerks> interesting that lubuntu is 65% the same a xubuntu...
[20:39] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: wrong channel
[22:33] <lynxuser> Logitech Bluetooth Adapter streams through A2DP Bluetooth Profile. computer's Bluetooth adapter must support. > 18.04 multiple tries, no joy! 18.04 pairs.
[22:35] <lynxuser> That's Audio Adapter and > 18.04 pairs but doesn't work.
[22:37] <lynxuser> ubuntu studio 18.04 works.
[22:39] <lynxuser> I'm stuck @ 18.04 LTS
[22:39] <lynxuser> i quit
