Groaranyone here?09:22
GroarWell, I'll ask my question and I'll wait till someone answers haha09:32
GroarI have holidays and nothing to do since Covid19 is in the air... well, now really, I live in Spain and cannot go outside. So I have nothing better to do than to enjoy my computer09:33
Groarso I've been thinking about upgrading from 18.04 to 22.0409:33
Groarerrr 20.04*09:33
GroarIn case I did it, when Ubuntu 20.04 (final) was released, would I have to reinstall it again or it wouldn't be needed at all?09:34
jattyou won't need to reinstall, you can just upgrade and you will get the final version09:38
Groarjatt: are you under it? is it working fine?09:45
=== Groar is now known as Groar_
=== Groar_ is now known as Groar
jattyes I upgraded yesterday, xrdp and openssh didn't work properly afterwards but I could fix the problems by installing an older version of those packages09:46
jattother than that it's very much stable09:46
GroarI'll install it on Wednesday since the kernel will be freezing by that day09:47
Groar:)09:47
jattgood09:47
lotuspsychjeGroar: just keep in mind the LTS upgrade way is waiting until 20.04.1 point release comes out around august10:06
Groarlotuspsychje: Yeah I knew that fact :)10:13
lotuspsychjecool, the users choice then :p10:13
spyflyI am experiencing some issues with the gui scaling. I am trying to set the scaling to 200% on a triple monitor setup with xorg using the proprietary nvidia-440 driver, but the screens will just go blank and revert back to 100%12:41
diddledanello, anyone know anything about zfs setup for 20.04? my /boot is seemingly devoid of storage capacity - zfs list shows the active set (snapshot?) as using 1.13G while du -sh /boot shows ~300MB.. I need to figure out how to reduce its usage so I can finish installing updates (mkinitramfs dies because there isn't enough storage space on /boot for15:09
diddledanthe initrd)..15:09
diddledanhere's some info I managed to gather: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MVfHnqzbzf/15:13
diddledanI'm presuming I've somehow got a borked system and need to reinstall....? (it is beta, after all :-)15:14
howarthIs Gnome Weather working in the Ubuntu Message Tray for anyone as described in https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/04/see-world-clock-and-weather-info-ubuntu15:22
howarthI am seeing 'Weather Select a location' which is I click brings up the Gnome Weather app that automatically detects my location.15:23
howarthHowever when I click on the tray a second time, it is still showing 'Weather Select a location' instead of the five day report.15:24
howarthAh, the comments in the article suggest that it doesn't seem to work well with automatic location detection15:25
dh-techHi folks, i am testing Ubuntu 20.04, before reporting a bug i want to make sure i am right, i have the all dark theme setup, but i noticed notification drop down, settings drop down and the authentication popup are white and not using the dark theme. 15:25
dh-techis that expected 15:25
howarthFigured it out, turns out that I didn't have location detection services turned on, which is odd because the app itself still did detect location without that15:26
dh-techSorry to repeat my question, i am testing Ubuntu 20.04, before reporting a bug i want to make sure i am right, i have the all dark theme setup, but i noticed notification drop down, settings drop down and the authentication popup are white and not using the dark theme. 15:42
cowpigHello! I've had a problem with iwlwifi since installing 20.04 on my new laptop, about 3 weeks ago. Have asked about it here a few times but nobody's been able to figure it out. Here are some details on the problem:15:44
cowpighttps://askubuntu.com/questions/1224353/intel-wifi-driver-problems-in-ubuntu-20-04-development-branch?noredirect=1#comment2058973_122435315:44
cowpigI want to report it to the right place but the instructions on reporting a bug seem to require a package:15:45
cowpighttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs15:45
cowpigMy problem is the driver, not the package, I think. So I don't know how I'm supposed to report this15:45
cowpigshould I report the problem on `ping` ??15:46
Groarone question. Does ubuntu 20.04 use xorg by default as previous versions?15:46
Groaror has it changed already?15:46
dh-techMy install used X11 by default, but i upgraded from 19.10 to 20.04 not a fresh install 15:47
Groardh-tech: is xorg better than the new one?15:48
dh-techin my opinion Wayland still need a lot of improvements, but you always have the option to switch on the login screen 15:51
diddledancowpig: run `dpkg -l |grep iwlwifi` if that returns `backport-iwlwifi-dkms` then you can run `ubuntu-bug backport-iwlwifi-dkms` to file the bug report semi-automatically.15:51
cowpig@diddledan it doesn't :(15:53
diddledanin that case then, try `ubuntu-bug linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)`15:54
diddledanit looks like iwlwifi is in that second one if you haven't got the backport installed, so that should get you to the correct file bug page15:56
cowpigI got disconnected but submitted the bug report as you suggested diddledan16:07
cowpigwould be nice if the bug report page had an explanation of how to figure out which package you should report to in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs16:08
luna_trying to change from Alpha to Beta now17:03
luna_worked good17:05
howarthHas anyone else noticed the following bug in the installer? On my 2008 MacPro, I prefer to Ubuntu 20.04 install its /boot/efi mount on the EFI partition of the physical linux disk. I tried using the Custom Partitioning option to select that device (/dev/sde) as the device for the boot loader installation. What actually happened was quite weird. The boot loader still got installed on the EFI partition of the macOS drive and worse the E19:01
howarthI partition on /dev/sde got recreated with the identical blkid of that of the EFI partition of the macOS drive.19:01
howarthSo that I had two different devices with identical blkid's for their EFI partitions. Not good.19:02
OmegaRidleyI'm trying the 20.04 beta image from Friday, and after I install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, I can't login back from the login screen anymore. After I confirm the password, it tries to login, but goes back to the login screen. I could confirm that it starts happening after I install that package. Anyone knows if that is a known issue19:06
OmegaRidleyalready?19:06
luna_sent some more suggestions for translations in the ubuntu-wallpaper-2004 package19:08
howarthHard to see why anything in ubuntu-restricted-extras would impact logins19:17
howarthIt just appears to be a metapackage to install unrar, ttf-mscorefonts and restricted audio codecs19:18
billythekid123hi there!19:27
billythekid123I just upgraded from 19.10 to 20.04 beta. I checked the installed snaps and noticed that both gnome-3-28-1804 and gnome-3-34-1804 are installed so I tried to remove the 3.28. After doing that all snaps stopped working. Reinstalling it makes everything work. Any idea what this is?19:27
howarthThe execution of the scripts in 'do-release-upgrade -d' seemed to do a dependency check on the snaps so it probably is a real dependency on some that haven't been fully updated to the newer gnome.19:35
billythekid123howarth that's my understanding as well. I tried doing something like:19:37
billythekid123$ snap connect firefox:gnome-3-34-1804 gnome-3-34-1804error: snap "firefox" has no plug named "gnome-3-34-1804"19:37
billythekid123so probably most snaps need to connect to the 3-34? right?19:37
billythekid123it's weird though because the beta comes with only gnome-3-34-1804 installed, so it should be working19:38
billythekid123oh yes that's it... I have a VM and I just fired Ubuntu beta. Installing firefox installs also gnome-3-34-1804.19:41
howarthThings can lag. I just noticed that gnome-photos is still based on the 3.34 code base19:42
billythekid123sorry I meant gnome-3-28-180419:42
billythekid123one of the snaps actually works with only 3.34 on but firefox and Thunderbird require 3.3419:43
billythekid123and they install it if it's missing on a fresh install19:43
howarthAnd a big feature with Gnome 3.36 was supposed to be the replacement of Shotwell with Gnome Photos19:43
billythekid123you think it's worth reporting this over snapcraft or you think it's certain they are on to it?19:43
howarthEvolution is supposed to be replaced by Geary and Gnome calendar. Likewise Rhythm Box is supposed to be replaced by Gnome Music. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/02/gnome-3-36-features19:45
billythekid123haha yeah I read it :D19:45
billythekid123yeap 100% confirmed. some snaps depend on the previous gnome snaps and when you install them they install also previous versions of gnome. Removing the old gnome snap makes the snap unbootable.19:47
billythekid123if you install it again, everything works. Cool, thanks for the help/info howarth. I'll be patient then :)19:48
BobParrHi all - looking to get some help for an issue. I fresh-installed MATE 20.04 and after trying to get some DVD's to play, I get "error:0 in libdvdnav.so.4.2.0" in syslog. I'm not sure where I start in troubleshooting this23:00
BobParrIt was working after the fresh install in VLC, but some add-on I did must have messed it up23:01

BobParrShould I purge it and reinstall? apt install --reinstall libdvd-pkg didn't fix anything23:10
oerhekslib dvd needs 2 steps to work, right?23:10

oerheksand remove cruft in ~/.config and ~/.cache too, VLC23:13
BobParrso use apt purge to do it?23:13
oerheksyes.23:14
BobParrI purged vlc, deleted the folders in ~/.cache and ~/.config and then reinstalled. Same error. Next step would be to purge libdvdnav4? It seems to remove a lot after that23:16
BobParrThe following packages will be REMOVED:  celluloid* handbrake* libdvdnav4* libmpv1* mpv* vlc* vlc-plugin-base*23:16
BobParrSeems to only be an issue with DVDs, as BluRay plays fine23:19
BobParrbah - I purged libdvdnav4, which removed VLC. Then I reinstalled VLC (which came with libdvdnav4) and still get the same error23:26

BobParrok. I'll have to do that. Thanks!23:40
BobParrI used the snap version and it works... so I guess I'll stick with that :P23:47
