guivercnvidia drivers; 304, 340 etc... is there any reasoning for the numbers??02:42
Bashing-omguiverc: ?? those are legacy and no longer supported drivers: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3142/~/support-timeframes-for-unix-legacy-gpu-releases .02:48
guivercyeah I know... I'm wondering about the numbers... replying to a UF post on 340 (and using my 304 detail as example)  just wondering what the 304, 340 numbers actually mean02:49
* guiverc generally ignores video/graphics - unless it's a problem02:50
Bashing-omguiverc: Just the series release numbers - currently the repo os up to 470.02:52
Bashing-omos/is*02:53
guivercso 304 is older than 340?   (turns out I think my box is 340 and not 304... must have my boxes confused)02:53
lotuspsychjewasnt 304 eol?02:55
Bashing-omguiverc: yeah 173 went out with 14.04.2; 304 EOL last of 2017; 340 EOL last of 2019. 02:57
guivercyeah probably .. 304 I think was my pentium 4 box; dead PSU & pointless now anyway as i386 - i tend to not take much notice of nvidia graphics02:58
Bashing-omguiverc: Back in the day when AMD dropped FGLRX I went with Nvidia for a new card . now I wish I had stayed with AMD :(03:00
guiverc:(   the box I'm using here, one underneath it are both amd... three boxes (piled) to my left are nvidia  (I forget which card is in which; thus which driver; 304/340/??)   but thanks lotuspsychje  & Bashing-om 03:02
Bashing-omguiverc: ' cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version ' :D03:06
guiverc:)   i gave my 2c on UF; the boxes are off so I won't look now03:08

guivercis there a command here on irc that can tell me what python3 is used by an updated bionic system?  (rmadison isn't helpful for focal anyway)08:43
oerhekslocal; apt-cache policy python308:53
oerheksor do you mean latest version in the repositories?08:53
guiverci'm on impish oerheks, I don't have a bionic handy, so I was hoping there was a query that I could ask here (given rmadison says 3.8.2 for focal when updated it's 3.8.10)08:58
oerheksyes, the bot does the same..08:59
oerheksit is 3.8.10, confirmed, but i have no clue how to obtain the update from the list08:59
guivercthanks oerheks 09:00
oerhekshttps://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/python3 or https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/python3.7 or weird, 3.8 is also available https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/python3.809:01
TJ-guiverc: --suite=focal-updates 09:16
guivercthanks TJ- ; it's faster for sure (than all) but rmadison doesn't give me what I was after (for focal; therefore not sure I can trust for bionic)09:20
TJ-$ rmadison --url ubuntu --suite=bionic-updates python309:25
TJ- python3 | 3.6.7-1~18.04 | bionic-updates | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x09:25
lotuspsychjesweet09:26
guivercthanks TJ- , but I'm not sure I can trust 3.6.7; it will mean the OP in my bug report has switched to 3.6.9 and that maybe an issue ; package installed by OP includes `python3.6-minimal | 3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.4 | bionic-updates` & python3.6-minimal is found on manifest for ISO09:47
TJ-guiverc: maybe rmadison server-side is broken!10:23
guiverci don't believe so... it's a known issue that impacts only python3 as I understand it (due to packaging of it or how installed.. I've seen discussions in dev rooms10:24
* guiverc rooms where you belong & I'm a fly on the wall :)10:24
guivercI think there is even a bug report about it10:25
guiverchttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1910175/comments/4 maybe what I'm thinking of10:26
guivercand that comment also answers what I was asking I guess too !10:27
guivercso thank you TJ- (even if not really what I was hoping for; it still confirms what I was thinking was not cause of ..)10:27
TJ-guiverc: when we ask the correct question we get the correct answer! " rmadison --url ubuntu --suite=bionic-updates python3.6-minimal " => "python3.6-minimal | 3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.4 | bionic-updates | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x"10:40
