[00:49] <Popo> Hi! Can someone give me a hand with a clean install?
[00:50] <Unit193> Don't know, what's the problem?
[00:51] <Popo> I'm seem stuck getting this message: Server returned error NXDOMAIN, mitigating potential DNS violation DVE-2018-0001, retrying transaction with reduced feature level UDP
[00:52] <Popo> With gui install, it's been at "detecting file systems" for 15-ish minutes
[06:24] <xu-help49w> hi
[06:24] <xu-help49w> my password locks me out i dont nop it
[06:25] <xu-help49w> i dont no my password for softwere what do i do
[13:25] <hansh> did `apt update;apt full-upgrade; reboot;` today
[13:25] <hansh> in a VMWare VM
[13:25] <hansh> when it booted up again, the screen could no longer resize, and the mouse pointer from the host doesn't align with the mouse pointer in the VM
[13:26] <hansh> any idea how to fix it?
[13:26] <hansh> Xubuntu 18.04
[13:28] <hansh> well.. whatever the problem was, seems it just magically fixed itself on reboot #3 (after 2 reboots of it being borked)
[13:28] <hansh> (on last reboot i ran `sudo shutdown now` instead of telling it to shutdown via the xubuntu shutdown button, maybe that fixed something, idk)
[16:03] <xu-help19w> I have installed ubuntu 20.04 + xubuntu on raspberry pi4, but xwindows when inactive for a while stop responding any command, only wiht ctrl+alt+f2 I can get a terminal and restart lightdm.
[19:19] <xu-help59w> how do you find the release for a processor you dont know the specs?
[22:54] <Gunstick> Hi. Upgrading 18.04 to 19.10, got error in initramfs-tools "lz4: symbol lookup error: lz4: undefined symbol: LZ4F_createCDict"
[22:55] <Gunstick> "E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 lz4 -9 -l 127"
[22:57] <Gunstick> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ncj4W39yvC/
[23:07] <Gunstick> seems to be a new thing, one of the 3 google results, with no answer https://mlog.club/article/5168525
[23:10] <Unit193> 18.04 to 19.10?  That's...not really an upgrade path. :3
[23:10] <Gunstick> it got proposed by ubuntu update. so I took it. and I did the same on another xubuntu and that one worked without issues
[23:11] <Gunstick> but tha'ts not the question. question is how do I debug this. i.e. where is cpio used in update-initramfs so I can trace it and get why it's using lz4 instead of i.e. plain gzip
[23:13] <Unit193> Compression is configured in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
[23:14] <Gunstick> yeah. "COMPRESS=lz4", making that into a gzip
[23:15] <Gunstick> it works
[23:16] <Gunstick> question is where does this lz4 come from. Note: I do some AtariST retrocomputing on this machine, which uses a specific lz4. Maybe it was detected and the installer assumed that it's my preferred packer?
[23:16] <Gunstick> thanks for the help.
[23:17] <Gunstick> can I document this somewhere so in case others stumble on the issue?
[23:35] <Unit193> Not sure where one would be documenting it.
