Martin37hi. I'm running Xubuntu on a older laptop and want to update it from 18.04 to 20.04. I cann't not really find the documentation on how to do that. Can any one help guidingme towards some informaiton on how update from 18.04 to 20.04? Thanks15:13
diogenes_Martin37, i'd advice to wait till july.15:15
Martin37diogones_ OK. Why?15:15
diogenes_because then it will be available in the update manager.15:17
Martin37ok. Thanks for you help. Any reason why it is first available in July?15:20
coconutMartin37, this has to do with upgrade path support i believe Martin37, and that will be enabled when 20.04.1 is released.(that July)15:21
coconutMartin37, but if you really insist upgrading, you can.... although generally there will be advise to wait until 20.04.115:26

ubottuMartin37: Regular upgrades from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS will be enabled once 20.04.1 is released in late July. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d15:26
Martin37OK. Make sense. I'm still at bit new to Linux and Xubuntu. Will my 18.04 then automatic update to 20.04 some time in July? Or will it be an option in the Update Manager then?15:28
coconutMartin37, it will propose to upgrade to 20.04.1 by the update manager by itself i believe.15:32
Martin37Thanks again for all the help. I will then wait untill July with the update of the system :)15:38
coconutsure15:38
diogenes_Martin37, you said it's an old laptop so i'd first check the requirements.15:38
Martin37It's a Intel Core2 duo, 4GB of ram and it runs very well with 18.04 for web browsing, LibreOffice etc. Should I be worried it will struggle with 20.04?15:42
diogenes_Martin37, might be ok, what GPU?15:43
Martin37I'm not sure. The Sysinfo says it's unknown15:46
diogenes_Martin37, inxi -G15:46
diogenes_in terminal.15:47
Martin37NVIDIA G86M (GeForce 8400M GS) it says15:50
diogenes_should be ok.15:50
Martin37OK. Do I have driver problem, as the Sysinfo says 'unknown' under model and Card Type?15:52
coconutdon't know, sorry..16:00
Martin37ok. Thanks for all the help16:01

diogenes_xu-help36w, ?20:15
xu-help36whow do i factory reset my laptop20:16
xu-help36wcabt find it in setttings20:16
BelphMay I ask if you are running xubuntu?20:17
diogenes_xu-help36w, what do you mean by factory reset the laptop? Is it BIOS reset or to remove all the manually installed packages or simply the appearance and desktop look and feel?20:19
miu5hi, Where is the correct place to change the umask system-wide?  is there more than one file to change the umask in?20:35
gnrpmiu5: Might be wrong, but afaik the umask is a per-shell thing?20:41
miu5gnrp, ive read that but i dont understand, isnt there one place where you set it?20:41
miu5if i set it in ~/.bashrc, logout and login, there is no change to the permissions if i create a file or folder. so that didnt work.20:42
miu5if i set it in /etc/profile, logout and login. Then it messes up my xfce4 terminal so i cannot change any settings to terminal anymore.20:43
gnrpmiu5: What is your goal?20:48
gnrpmiu5: When you set it in .bashrc and enter `bash` (no need to logout/login) and then enter `umask`, what happens?20:48
gnrpah, no, wait, sorry. For what way of creating a directory do you want to change it?20:48
miu5to change the system-wide umask so that newly created files and dirs are 600 and 70020:50
gnrpand with "newly created files and dirs" you mean by any application?21:03
gnrpand what did you set the umask to in /etc/profile? Can you please paste the line?21:03
xu-help15wI would like to install Xubuntu no an software raid. for this I started in try mode and "sudo apt-get install gpart" and "mdadm".21:14
xu-help15wsofar i can install the os but at the end ite grub returns an error it cant writ on /dev/sda21:15
xu-help15wI tried this also in debian and there it works21:15
xu-help15wwhat can I do to fix this?21:16
miu5gnrp, i changed it to umask 077.  Also by newly created files i mean files created by simply right clicking in thunar or any file manager21:18
gnrpmiu5: Then putting it in .bashrc obviously does not work, this only affects things that are inside a bash that is started by you. And what does the line in /etc/profile look like? Maybe you can upload it completely?21:19
gnrp!paste21:19

miu5gnrp, when i did change it in /etc/profile not only did it mess up my terminal, but a new file i created changed to 640 instead of 60021:19
gnrpxu-help15w: What is that error that it cannot write on /dev/sda?21:20
xu-help15wcan't install at the specified location21:20
miu5gnrp, all i did was add the line "umask 077" at the end of /etc/profile21:21
xu-help15wcan't install grub at specified location  -sorry it seems to be only a grub issue21:22
gnrpmiu5: Any application can overwrite the umask,b tw. It is just a default. Might be that you have some obnoxious application that will use its own nonetheless21:22
gnrpxu-help15w: I actually cannot help you with that, sorry. I am nto enough into grub for that, disk setup etc. got much more complicated with uefi stuff etc. But I always thought anyway the installer would also provide a possbility to create an mdraid when installing?21:23
gnrpxu-help15w: I mean, it sounds like a more complicated disk setup and you would have to detail much more about your setup etc.21:23
miu5gnrp, i just tried it now again and rebooted and the file now shows 600 and dir 700, i dont understand21:26
xu-help15wI will do an instalation of a NAS and will setup a softwareRAID. so I configured a RAID partition (4 disks) with mdadm. all seems to work, i can set /folder and installation starts. at the end I get an error that the grub cant installed of missing locations. continuing wit manual grub setup as well as the use of a other location result in a frozen21:29
xu-help15winstalation. acrosscheck on as official debian is working but debian is to restricted to me.21:29
miu5gnrp, i figured out that in order to be able to create files and dirs successfully with your own default umask permissions that stick via terminal and file manager, one needs to change both /etc/profile AND .bashrc21:46
gnrpmiu5: I thought that would lead to your terminal not being able to change permissions anymore?21:47
gnrpnot to change settings anymore*21:47
miu5gnrp, it would though, why wouldnt it?21:47
gnrpmiu5: I don't know, you were writing that in /etc/profile, it messed up your terminal?^^21:50
miu5yes but i tried it again now and it seems that it didnt mess it up again. so i dont know what i did before21:51
gnrplol, ok^^21:52
miu5yea. this was all with Thunar file manager, now that i tried creating a file and dir with Dolphin file manager, it creates the dir with 700 but the file gets created with 644.  Any idea what application in dolphin changes the file permissions?21:56
DarkTrickI'm missing the "release notes" area. https://xubuntu.org/release/20-04/ Aren't there any?23:22
DarkTrickfound it: https://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/20.04/release-notes23:25
DarkTrickwould be nice to have a direct link on the site, that's labeled "release notes"23:26
