[02:48] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[03:37] <guiverc> does anyone know the program whcih expands the ISO on install?  (it'll be same if calamares/lubuntu or ubiquity/rest so I'm betting not the the installer package)
[03:39] <sarnold> "expands"?
[03:40] <guiverc> writes the squashfs to the actual disk... bug 1898302
[03:42] <guiverc> sorry, wasn't well explained; bug complains ubuntu are putting details in wrong locations on disk, non-Linux standards..  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1898302
[03:44] <sarnold> guiverc: that's called usrmerge, it's all the ragethese days, https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge
[03:45] <guiverc> thank you most kindly sarnold :)   I'll read it.. and hopefully get clues !  thanks
[03:46] <guiverc> That's most apt !!  (not the package name, no pun).  thanks!
[03:46] <sarnold> hah, and coming back to re-read what I wrote, 'rage' is quite the perfect choice :)
[03:46] <sarnold> a great many people seem to think usrmerge is the best thing ever
[03:47] <sarnold> and a great many people are driven to apoplexy over something so inane
[03:47] <sarnold> anywaym, have fun :)
[03:47] <guiverc> :)   always try!
[09:29] <tomreyn> guiverc: in #ubuntu , nickanme lapion brought up something which sounded similar:
[09:29] <tomreyn> <lapion> Why do the ubuntu install dvd's rely on a symbolic and or a hard-link ?
[09:29] <tomreyn> <lapion> has everybody forgotton that the only truly useful file system for smaller usb-sticks is vfat ?
[09:31] <tomreyn> starting at 02:12 am CEST (should be 00:12 UTC), if you ant to look at the logs.
[09:32] <tomreyn> i'm not sure it's the same thing, though.
[09:37] <guiverc> thanks tomreyn
[09:40]  * guiverc was dealing with food so waited till I'd finished & washed hands  .. I expected to find a duplicate of it so I could mark it as such, I gave up looking; but settled with EOL'ing numerous bugs that cluttered my searches...
[09:41] <lotuspsychje> guiverc: if my eyes see correctly, the bugs about ltsupgrade seems like to be 4.15 kernel bionics to 20.04.1
[09:44] <guiverc> I was commenting about the /bin link /usr/bin.. ; but most bugs I've seen on upgrade seemed to be python, qt4/5 but I'm opening less than half of upgrade bugs I see on -announce
[09:45] <lotuspsychje> ah kk
=== akem_ is now known as JohnnyCage
[14:22] <tomreyn> oh i missed that 18.04 -> 20.04 is now supported
[14:25] <tomreyn> since 2020-09-28
[14:56] <daftykins> that was a heck of a delay
[14:59] <tomreyn> longer than usual for sure, but probably not longer than needed.
[17:05] <tomreyn> are zfs services running or even installed on a default 20.04.1 desktop, if anyone knows?
[17:06] <tomreyn> that's if the zfs option hasn't been chosen on the installer
[17:07] <tomreyn> dmesg | grep zfs    on a default install should tell (i don't have one here currently)
[17:08] <lotuspsychje> tomreyn: grep returns nothing here
[17:09] <tomreyn> thanks
[17:09] <lotuspsychje> and i installed 20.04.1 in such early stage, i cant recall i saw the option in ubiquity
[17:10] <tomreyn> so before .1 release?
[17:11] <lotuspsychje> tomreyn: yeah i always help testing lts very early stage
[17:11] <lotuspsychje> so i dont have .1 clean installed systems here
[17:12] <tomreyn> okay, so it could have been added late rone
[17:12] <tomreyn> * later on
[17:12] <tomreyn> thanks
[20:03] <Maik> welcome Squarism & Seven_Six_Two
[20:05] <Maik> my brain isn't 100% awake yet, my apologies for not inviting you earlier
[20:07] <Squarism> thanks
[20:08] <Seven_Six_Two> np. didn't know about this chan. I do sit in -offtopic now and again
[20:10] <Maik> offtopic is just too busy and most of the time only about nonsense imho. In this channel users can chat more relaxed about non support related Ubuntu stuff.
[21:42] <jeremy31> Anyone familiar with dkms?  I am wondering why it seemed to fail on https://github.com/jeremyb31/bluetooth-5.4.git details at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1277459/bluetooth-rtl8723be-does-not-find-devices-on-lenovo-ideapad-100-14iby
[21:46] <TJ-> how is it failing?
[21:47] <TJ-> source install path should match the package name and version, e.g. /usr/src/$PACKAGE-$VERSION
[21:47] <jeremy31> Hi TJ- It seemed to fail for the user on the askubuntu site, but it worked when I tested it,  his modinfo showed intree module loading after a reboot
[21:48] <TJ-> ` I must have missed that part in the ask
[21:51] <jeremy31> TJ-: bottom of the question, might have been some glich where a new kernel was installed before the dkms was added
[21:53] <TJ-> there's a link to "show 14 more comments" but it never does!
[21:54] <TJ-> is it a 'depmod -a' issue? or is the module never built or installed ?
[21:55] <jeremy31> TJ-: worked fine after I told them to go into the directory and do a make clean, make, and had them copy the new module to where the original btusb.ko was and reboot
[21:55] <TJ-> jeremy31: so did they do a "sudo dkms install module/version" ?
[21:56] <TJ-> if it fails, it will/should report why
[21:56] <jeremy31> TJ-: dkms add and dkms install
[21:57] <TJ-> and they've put the source in the correct /usr/src/$MODULE-$VERSION directory?
[21:58] <TJ-> you'd need to capture/grab the dkms log of the build from /var/lib/dkms/
[22:01] <jeremy31> TJ-: I think I will try again on this machine after installing a new kernel but before rebooting to see what I find out
[22:03] <jeremy31> Thanks for your time
[22:41] <Ziopeppus2> Hello
[22:43] <jeremy31> TJ-: It must have been a kernel update before a reboot when the dkms was installed.  Got similar results on this machine
[22:44] <TJ-> jeremy31: that sounds likely, especially if you're not passing the -k option to specify which kernel version to build/install for
[22:46] <jeremy31> TJ-: A rare case from what I see.  Any way to do it automatically in Makefile or dkms.conf?
[22:49] <TJ-> jeremy31: in theory the /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms script should ensure a new build / install... but if that fails (silently) then the symptoms would match
[22:52] <jeremy31> TJ-: I think that depends on the newer kernel being installed before the dkms
[22:53] <jeremy31> after not before
