| Mexit | Hello,I just tested the latest image of Ubuntu 20.10. Unfortunately, there is no loopback.cfg file that allows the system to boot directly from the ISO image (through grub2).Will this be permanent? | 12:06 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | Mexit: was there ever such a file in the past? why would it be needed to boot a system off the iso? | 12:08 |
| Mexit | tomreyn: yes. This file has existed for as long as I can remember, including 20.04.This is a simplified version of the grub.cfg file with an additional kernel parameter: iso-scan/filename=$isofile. | 12:17 |
| Mexit | allow to boot Multiple ISO from USB via Grub2 | 12:17 |

| oerheks | i hope this is not an UEFI machine | 12:18 |
| Mexit | oerheks: bios and UEFI. Yes, isoboot, but with this file you have original boot menus. Here my universal configfile for all ubuntu family: https://github.com/Mexit/MultiOS-USB/blob/master/config/ubuntu/ubuntu.cfg | 12:25 |
| tomreyn | hmm i see, so there's /boot/grub/loopback.cfg in the Ubuntu Desktop 20.04.1 ISO | 12:32 |
| tomreyn | also in the Ubuntu Server (Live) 20.04.1 ISO | 12:32 |
| tomreyn | Mexit: maybe loopback.cfg is only added for proper releases. have you looked at the 20.10 beta? | 12:34 |
| Mexit | It is also missing there (20.10 beta) | 12:42 |
| Mexit | tomreyn : This file was always, in every release | 12:43 |
| tomreyn | hmm, maybe ask in #ubuntu-server, too (unlike #ubuntu-desktop they're open to "support" questions). | 12:44 |
| tomreyn | or even file a bug | 12:45 |
| tomreyn | there's also #ubuntu-quality where developers might pick up on it | 12:46 |
| tomreyn | i see you got a reply in #ubuntu-devel | 12:46 |
| LuckyMan | I'm using flutter and android studio on 20.10, and when running a desktop app I have lots of Gtk errors. | 18:34 |
| LuckyMan | and nothing is shown | 18:34 |
| LuckyMan | only a white window | 18:35 |
| tomreyn | LuckyMan: and this version of the software, "flutter", is said to be compatible to (yet unreleased) ubuntu 20.10? | 18:41 |
| oerheks | https://snapcraft.io/install/flutter/ubuntu ??? | 18:44 |
| LuckyMan | tomreyn, I don't know, but since I'm learning desktop apps, I'm using the dev channel on flutter, so I guess they are probably developing to the next version of Ubuntu | 18:45 |
| tomreyn | oh snap it's a snap | 18:47 |
| tomreyn | well, i guess that as long as you installed the snap using --classic, it can work. | 18:48 |
| tomreyn | if it supports gtk3+ then the snap should automatically pull in all gtk3 libs that are needed to make it work. | 18:49 |
| LuckyMan | it mostly works but when running, it gives Gtk errors, on a loop, and doesn't show anything | 18:49 |
| LuckyMan | Idk if it has to do with Gtk or if has to do with the last flutter update, or if it has to do with 20.10 | 18:51 |
| tomreyn | i guess you could visit the developer website and look for support options there, or contact the flutter team: https://snapcraft.io/flutter | 18:51 |
| LuckyMan | but I also had lots of trouble latelly with android-studio (which I'm not using on 20.10) on 20.04 because of the last update. | 18:52 |
