[00:00] I'm experiencing some issues with the nvidia-440 driver on the 20.04 beta [00:01] is it a good idea to test 20.04 using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot [03:38] good morning === masteroman_ is now known as masteroman [09:18] hi [09:22] anyone here? [09:32] Well, I'll ask my question and I'll wait till someone answers haha [09:33] I 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 computer [09:33] so I've been thinking about upgrading from 18.04 to 22.04 [09:33] errr 20.04* [09:34] In 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? [09:38] you won't need to reinstall, you can just upgrade and you will get the final version [09:45] jatt: are you under it? is it working fine? === Groar is now known as Groar_ === Groar_ is now known as Groar [09:46] yes I upgraded yesterday, xrdp and openssh didn't work properly afterwards but I could fix the problems by installing an older version of those packages [09:46] other than that it's very much stable [09:47] I'll install it on Wednesday since the kernel will be freezing by that day [09:47] :) [09:47] good [10:06] Groar: just keep in mind the LTS upgrade way is waiting until 20.04.1 point release comes out around august [10:13] lotuspsychje: Yeah I knew that fact :) [10:13] cool, the users choice then :p [12:41] I 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% [15:09] ello, 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 for [15:09] the initrd).. [15:13] here's some info I managed to gather: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MVfHnqzbzf/ [15:14] I'm presuming I've somehow got a borked system and need to reinstall....? (it is beta, after all :-) [15:22] Is 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-ubuntu [15:23] I am seeing 'Weather Select a location' which is I click brings up the Gnome Weather app that automatically detects my location. [15:24] However when I click on the tray a second time, it is still showing 'Weather Select a location' instead of the five day report. [15:25] Ah, the comments in the article suggest that it doesn't seem to work well with automatic location detection [15:25] Hi 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] is that expected [15:26] Figured 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 that [15:42] Sorry 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. [15:44] Hello! 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] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1224353/intel-wifi-driver-problems-in-ubuntu-20-04-development-branch?noredirect=1#comment2058973_1224353 [15:45] I want to report it to the right place but the instructions on reporting a bug seem to require a package: [15:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [15:45] My problem is the driver, not the package, I think. So I don't know how I'm supposed to report this [15:46] should I report the problem on `ping` ?? [15:46] one question. Does ubuntu 20.04 use xorg by default as previous versions? [15:46] or has it changed already? [15:47] My install used X11 by default, but i upgraded from 19.10 to 20.04 not a fresh install [15:48] dh-tech: is xorg better than the new one? [15:51] in my opinion Wayland still need a lot of improvements, but you always have the option to switch on the login screen [15:51] cowpig: 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. [15:53] @diddledan it doesn't :( [15:54] in that case then, try `ubuntu-bug linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)` [15:56] it 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 page [16:07] I got disconnected but submitted the bug report as you suggested diddledan [16:08] would 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/ReportingBugs [17:03] trying to change from Alpha to Beta now [17:05] worked good [19:01] Has 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 E [19:01] I partition on /dev/sde got recreated with the identical blkid of that of the EFI partition of the macOS drive. [19:02] So that I had two different devices with identical blkid's for their EFI partitions. Not good. [19:06] I'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 issue [19:06] already? [19:08] sent some more suggestions for translations in the ubuntu-wallpaper-2004 package [19:17] Hard to see why anything in ubuntu-restricted-extras would impact logins [19:18] It just appears to be a metapackage to install unrar, ttf-mscorefonts and restricted audio codecs [19:27] hi there! [19:27] I 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? [19:35] The 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. [19:37] howarth that's my understanding as well. I tried doing something like: [19:37] $ snap connect firefox:gnome-3-34-1804 gnome-3-34-1804error: snap "firefox" has no plug named "gnome-3-34-1804" [19:37] so probably most snaps need to connect to the 3-34? right? [19:38] it's weird though because the beta comes with only gnome-3-34-1804 installed, so it should be working [19:41] oh yes that's it... I have a VM and I just fired Ubuntu beta. Installing firefox installs also gnome-3-34-1804. [19:42] Things can lag. I just noticed that gnome-photos is still based on the 3.34 code base [19:42] sorry I meant gnome-3-28-1804 [19:43] one of the snaps actually works with only 3.34 on but firefox and Thunderbird require 3.34 [19:43] and they install it if it's missing on a fresh install [19:43] And a big feature with Gnome 3.36 was supposed to be the replacement of Shotwell with Gnome Photos [19:43] you think it's worth reporting this over snapcraft or you think it's certain they are on to it? [19:45] Evolution 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-features [19:45] haha yeah I read it :D [19:47] yeap 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. [19:48] if you install it again, everything works. Cool, thanks for the help/info howarth. I'll be patient then :) [23:00] Hi 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 this [23:01] It was working after the fresh install in VLC, but some add-on I did must have messed it up [23:02] libdvd is part of a library name [23:02] BobParr: What shows ' dpkg -l libdvd-pkg ' ?

Any way the lib is installed. Was my only thought. [23:10] Should I purge it and reinstall? apt install --reinstall libdvd-pkg didn't fix anything [23:10] lib dvd needs 2 steps to work, right? [23:10] sudo apt install libdvd-pkg && sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg [23:10] $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkglibdvd-pkg: guest package [libdvdcss2/1.4.2-1~local] is already installed.

[23:11] oerheks: BobParr : +1 ^ [23:11] well, remove vlc and addon you messed up [23:11] What's the best way to do that? apt purge? [23:12] !info libdvd-pkg [23:12] libdvd-pkg (source: libdvd-pkg): DVD-Video playing library - installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.4.2-1-1 (focal), package size 14 kB, installed size 79 kB [23:13] and remove cruft in ~/.config and ~/.cache too, VLC [23:13] so use apt purge to do it? [23:14] yes. [23:16] I 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 that [23:16] The following packages will be REMOVED: celluloid* handbrake* libdvdnav4* libmpv1* mpv* vlc* vlc-plugin-base* [23:19] Seems to only be an issue with DVDs, as BluRay plays fine [23:26] bah - I purged libdvdnav4, which removed VLC. Then I reinstalled VLC (which came with libdvdnav4) and still get the same error [23:26] kernel: [ 2273.937646] traps: vlc[7593] general protection fault ip:7f3ac6eb9d74 sp:7f3a8a77deb0 error:0 in libdvdnav.so.4.2.0[7f3ac6eb0000+d000] [23:39] file a bugreport, perhaps? i find no recent ones [23:40] ok. I'll have to do that. Thanks! [23:47] I used the snap version and it works... so I guess I'll stick with that :P === lestac_afk is now known as lestac
