[01:21] <alkisg> davido_, are you able to visit this site with a browser? https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release
[01:22] <davido_> Yes. This is a continuation of a discussion on Friday.
[01:22] <alkisg> And also with wget?
[01:22] <davido_> curl yes, haven't tried wget. I will now.
[01:23] <alkisg> Nah its ok. Wait for tj to wake up, I was just checking some quick things
[01:23] <davido_> Wget fails. cannot verify changelogs.ubuntu.com's certificate
[01:24] <alkisg> Ah
[01:24] <davido_> If I set --no-check-certificate I imagine it would be fine.
[01:24] <alkisg> Then it sounds like an error in your certificates or date
[01:25] <davido_> my date seems accurate: 8/21/2021 7:25pm MDT
[01:25] <alkisg> System certificates then

=== catboy is now known as pikapika
[01:57] <davido_> alkisg : This article had the correct solution: https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-failed-to-connect-to-https-changelogs-ubuntu-com-meta-release-development-check-your-internet-connection-or-proxy-settings/
[01:58] <davido_> or at least a workable solution. :)
[01:59] <alkisg> Eeeh so wget wasn't working yet you edited MetaRelease.py? That doesn't sound right :D
[01:59] <alkisg> Anyway, I don't know the context so I can't comment more
[02:00] <davido_> reinstalling certificate-ca didn't improve the situation. If I have trouble after the upgrade I'll just do a fresh install. I don't keep data I care about on the primary partitions anyway.
[02:01] <alkisg> Btw that site seems to be a ripoff of  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1072819/failed-to-connect-to-https-changelogs-ubuntu-com-meta-release-development-che
[02:01] <davido_> :) Thanks Google for getting me to the rip-off first.
[02:01] <davido_> Anyway, thanks for your time.
[03:04] <TJ-> davido_ did well to figure that one out! I did think it was a proxy issue of some kind but it looks like it is an older python x509 certificate problem; very obscure too!
[03:29] <biscuitbutter[m]> are there ubuntu wifi drivers? if it doesn't simply work after installation, then is ethernet the only option?
[03:29] <JoeLlama> okay so my client formatted a flash drive.  It came up as /dev/sbd1 but he formatted it exFAT as /dev/sbd ... is that an issue?  How can I format it as /dev/sdb1 ?
[03:30] <biscuitbutter[m]>  * are there ubuntu wifi drivers? if wifi doesn't simply work after the os installation, then is ethernet the only option?
[03:31] <JoeLlama> so like... is it an issue if a flash drive is formatted /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdb1 like it showed up in dh?

[12:26] <Kakurady> Hi all. I want to report a bug with debconf when system language is set to Chinese during upgrade from 20.10 to 21.04.  I ran ubuntu-bug, which asked me what kind of problem to report, and there are two options - "dist-upgrade" and "release-upgrade" and I'm not sure which one to pick.
[12:27] <Kakurady> (yes, now that I typed this I realize 20.10 is no longer supported, so I plan to repeat this once upgraded.)
[12:31] <ioria> Kakurady, i think is release-upgrade, but can you tell us what happens when lang is set to chinese ? i mean, what's the real problem ?
[12:33] <Kakurady> ioria, like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/1752394 but the message is "ide character in print at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Log.pm line 39."

=== Starmina_ is now known as Starmina
[12:38] <ioria> Kakurady, so did  the release-upgrade process stop ? or is progressing ?
[12:41] <Kakurady> It progresses without any dpkg dialogues
[12:41] <ioria> meaning ?
[12:41] <ioria> no text flood on the screen ?
[12:47] <Kakurady> Terminal is progressing all right (and the log can be found in /var/log/dist-upgrade) but dpkg doesn't ask if you want to keep any modified config files
[12:48] <ioria> ah
[12:48] <Kakurady> Or, at least, that's what I think would happen.
[12:48] <Kakurady> I haven't committed to the upgrade yet.
[12:49] <Kakurady> But I had the same error messages for previous upgrades,
[12:49] <Kakurady> And I remember being curious why I'm not seeing any debconf dialogs.
[12:49] <vai> hi
[12:49] <vai> Ubuntu fails to install initramfs disk image (build it) - after installing most recent updates on aptitude [apt-get] ??
[12:50] <vai> Ubuntu 20 here
[12:50] <vai> so whole GUI is fed up
[12:50] <vai> I cant launch e.g. Firefox anyomre
[12:50] <vai> they put gnome critical files on a ramfilesystem I think ?
[12:51] <vai> this box wont boot anymore I think, unless I reinstall grub with initramfs created successfully .. just dont know any Tricks to do this !
[12:51] <TJ-> vai: have you checked there is sufficient free space to create the new initrd?
[12:52] <TJ-> vai: firstly, boot it to an older kernel selected from GRUB's Advanced sub-menu
[12:52] <vai> TJ-: 90 gigs free on /
[12:52] <vai> TJ-: theres no boot menu.. can I activet it somehow ? to revent to old boot
[12:53] <vai> most common is shift, ctrl or F9 I know!
[12:53] <TJ-> vai: there is always a GRUB boot menu, but by default it is hidden. You need to repeated tap Esc key at start-up to show it as soon as the PC hands over
[12:53] <vai> but it just changes on every release they make (used Ubuntu 7 sth like and made multiboots on this :D thats all I know)
[12:54] <vai> TJ-: but grub fails to install
[12:54] <vai> maybe I can still use the old grub ?
[12:54] <vai> worst case is I have to reinstall whole Ubuntu machine
[12:55] <TJ-> vai: no, it doesn't change. Esc key is what GRUB uses, this is driven by UEFI which cannot detect that toggle keys (shift, ctrl, alt) are pressed. Previously for BIOS it was the shift key being held down
[12:55] <vai> TJ-: ironically : grub fails to install after i upgraded it
[12:55] <vai> very irony indeed
[12:56] <vai> but thats probably because of initramfs dependency fails to be found on the drive (image file)
[12:56] <TJ-> vai: what kind of upgrade are you referring to? "apt upgrade" package upgrade?
[12:56] <vai> TJ-: aptitude upgrade
[12:57] <TJ-> vai: OK, so that won't affect GRUB in any major way, aside from possibly the update-grub stage doesn't add new options if a new kernel version was installed, which is what it sounds like if update-intramfs was called
[12:57] <TJ-> vai: are you using this broken system right now to get on IRC?

[14:40] <Helmholtz> Any idea why "https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/install" doesn't support ubuntu 18.04 but supports 16.04?
[14:40] <Helmholtz> or Focal (20.04)
[14:41] <leftyfb> Helmholtz: that would be a question for whoever maintains https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/install"
[14:41] <jeremy31> oops: go into BIOS settings and disable Secure Boot
[14:41] <bailsman> Helmholtz: just out of curiosity - what is cloudflare's client software?
[14:42] <Helmholtz> bailsman, you mean that link?
[14:42] <Helmholtz> Kind of a free vpn
[14:42] <Helmholtz> Warp+ 1.1.1.1
[14:43] <bailsman> Helmholtz: I see. How does it differ from the official wireguard client?
[14:43] <Helmholtz> bailsman, I don't think it's exactly wireguard?
[14:43] <bailsman> What's the difference?
[14:44] <Macer> ubottu: i found it. just connected to my phone with bt and installed the proprietary module
[14:44] <Macer> i guess this model needs the proprietary driver
[14:44] <Helmholtz> bailsman, honestly I don't know...If you know more, happy to hear :D
[14:45] <leftyfb> Helmholtz: https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/packages/cloudflare-warp
[14:46] <leftyfb> oh, you want 18.04. You'll have to contact Cloudflare for support
[14:46] <bailsman> leftyfb: right, it seems to be missing a release for bionic (18.04) even though it has both 20.04 and 16.04
[14:46] <bailsman> https://github.com/ViRb3/wgcf there's this (unofficial client), maybe that works
[14:46] <Helmholtz> leftyfb, it's very weird that they support stretch but not 18.04
[14:46] <Helmholtz> something should have been wrong with 18.04
[14:47] <ThinkT510> ubuntu no longer suppirts 16.04. it is end of life
[14:47] <Helmholtz> bailsman, how should I find out the keys?
[14:47] <Helmholtz> last I checked didn't work
[14:47] <leftyfb> Helmholtz: again, you'll have to seek support from the maintainer
[14:47] <bailsman> Helmholtz: using the unofficial client I linked? It looks like it has commands to register etc
[14:47] <bailsman> I haven't personally tried it
[14:51] <Helmholtz> leftyfb, https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/setting-up/linux#feedback
[14:51] <Helmholtz> To provide a feedback, one needs to do it via their client 😀
[14:53] <leftyfb> Helmholtz: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/issues
[14:53] <leftyfb> oh wait
[14:54] <leftyfb> yeah, that should do

[15:45] <ioria> ok
[15:45] <Helmholtz> It somehow shows all base dirs?
[15:45] <Helmholtz> like /lib, /lib/systemd
[15:56] <ioria> Helmholtz, how do you mean ?
[15:56] <Helmholtz> ioria, like it prints every directory leading to a file
[15:57] <Helmholtz> `path/to/actual_file` -> it shows path/ and path/to and /path/to/actual_file
[15:57] <ioria> yes ... so ?
[16:04] <Helmholtz> I thought it should only be `/path/to/actual_file`
[17:05] <jeffmr> having some trouble getting my audio device recognized.  I think the firmware might not be loading. can anyone help with this?
[17:05] <alkisg> antikythera: sometimes deb files also register directories, to be created even if empty, and so that the system knows to remove these directories when all packages that hold them are uninstalled
[17:05] <jeffmr> its an intel card
[17:10] <piyuple> hi
[17:10] <tomreyn> jeffmr: i'm not sure i'll be able to help, but you can gather relevant information using the alsa-info script, available from the alsa-utils package
[17:10] <jeffmr> ok, any help is appreciated.
[17:11] <piyuple> 1
[17:11] <tomreyn> piyuple: hi! do you have any ubuntu support questions today?
[17:13] <piyuple> this is my first time on irc tomreyn
[17:14] <alkisg> jeffmr: run the alsa-info script, pastebin the output, then any persons that think that may help, will have a look at it
[17:15] <jeffmr> ok
[17:15] <jeffmr> y
[17:16] <jeffmr> http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=6b29f84a96beadff8454a4418ee99b3fa1914643
[17:16] <piyuple> Actually I do have a support question. My qustion is that when I tried to select multiple files and tried to open them using vlc on my ubuntu 20.04, It did not create a playlist on vlc of the selected videos but opened a vlc instance for each of the selected files. How can this behaviour be fixed?
[17:20] <ikonia> that's expected behaviour
[17:21] <ikonia> you need to create a playlist - not open multiple file
[17:22] <piyuple> ikonia: Similar approach worked well by default in elementary os 5
[17:22] <ikonia> piyuple: ok - so look at the config in elementary
[17:22] <jeffmr> says no soundcard found but the hardware is there and there is a firmware loading error when trying to start it for intel sof dsp
[17:22] <ikonia> or look in the preferences of vlc - see if there is an option for multiple files
[17:22] <piyuple> ikonia: sure thanks
[17:24] <jeffmr> maybe I need to tell it to use snd_hda_intel?
[17:26] <jeremy31> jeffmr: what is the exact error for firmware load?  If it says -2, that means you don't have the firmware
[17:26] <jeffmr> yep -2.  thats for sof-audio-pci
[17:27] <jeffmr> I've downloaded all the updates and firmware through the various gnome gui apps.
[17:27] <jeffmr> Do I need to get the firmware from somewhere else?
[17:29] <alkisg> jeffmr: google says to download and install this: https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/firmware-sof-signed
[17:30] <alkisg> It's not available in 20.04, so you'd download the hirsute deb and install it directly
[17:30] <jeffmr> ok, thanks!
[17:30] <alkisg> It has no dependencies so it should work fine in 20.04; try it
[17:30] <jeffmr> ok
[17:32] <jeffmr> alkisg, is the hirsute deb the source file that has 'deb' in it?
[17:34] <alkisg> jeffmr: wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/firmware-sof/firmware-sof-signed_1.6.1-2_all.deb -O /tmp/f.deb && sudo apt install /tmp/f.deb
[17:34] <alkisg> And reboot for it to take effect
[17:34] <jeffmr> ok
[17:35] <alkisg> (afk; back in half an hour...)
[17:39] <Macer> well. seems like ubuntu 20.04 lts runs rather well on my old 2015 macbook air
[17:39] <Macer> other than the awkwardness of using the phone for a minute using bt to download the proprietary wifi module
[17:39] <Macer> is there something i could add to reduce the size of the titlebars?
[17:40] <lotuspsychje> Macer: most tweaks you can pull off, you can try from dconf-editor (if the tweak exist)
[17:41] <lotuspsychje> Macer: or play with other themes perhaps
[17:41] <Macer> yah i think i'll try that becuse the default theme with its giant titlebars
[17:42] <Macer> i wish they were smaller. it eats up too much space on lower res systems like this macbook air
[17:42] <Macer> that's a cosmetic issue though. other than that it sure seems to be running quite well on the macbook air
[17:47] <lotuspsychje> Macer: may i advice, sudo apt install preload haveged stacer dconf-editor tweak your gnome a bit lighter
[18:14] <Macer> lotuspsychje: yes. it would be nice to get some of the functionality that was in macos like 3 finger swipe bringing up activities
[18:15] <lotuspsychje> Macer: gnome-tweaks could be handy too then
[18:33] <jxl> hi, is there a channel specific to Ubuntu Touch or is this fine too?

[18:34] <Rexodus_> See topic :)
[18:35] <lotuspsychje> jxl: its now #ubports
[18:35] <jxl> ahh, excellent, thank you
[18:35] <jxl> #ubuntu-touch does have 7 people in it
[18:36] <lotuspsychje> a community project after ubuntu touch got stopped
[18:38] <jxl> lotuspsychje: wasn't even aware that it got stopped
[18:38] <jxl> that's sad to hear
[18:39] <lotuspsychje> its been a while now jxl
[18:39] <jxl> i actually like it very much - got it on a device for the first time a few days ago
[18:39] <lotuspsychje> jxl: touch or ubports?
[18:40] <jxl> lotuspsychje: touch
[18:40] <lotuspsychje> !touch
[18:40] <ubottu> Information about the mobile port of the Ubuntu platform (formely Ubuntu Touch) for Phone and Tablet is available here: https://ubports.com/. Support and discussion in #ubports
[18:40] <lotuspsychje> should move to ubports then jxl
[18:41] <jxl> yeah, i asked my q there. people seem to be afk :)
[18:41] <jxl> all good, i'll wait
[18:41] <lotuspsychje> jxl: no, i mean move your Os to ubports
[18:41] <Macer> lotuspsychje: i already checked there
[18:42] <jxl> honestly, i'm a little confused now
[18:42] <Macer> there is no option to enable things like that. just more basic things
[18:42] <jxl> https://github.com/gemian/gemian/wiki/UBPorts - that's ubports, not touch, right?
[18:42] <Macer> like the using the right bottom as the right click but it does not work very well
[18:43] <Macer> for instance... not sure what macos calls it but swiping up with 3 fingers does something similar to activities in ubuntu. maybe spaces is what it's called in macos
[18:43] <lotuspsychje> use their main website from the factoid jxl
[18:44] <Macer> ubports is what used to be ubuntu touch. i have a pinephone and it is too bad that ubuntu touch sort of "died" in a sense
[18:44] <Macer> because it was probably the better of the mobile uis that i used
[18:44] <tomreyn> Macer: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/gestures.html - note that wayland (and xwayland) is a new graphics server (past of the graphical desktop, but 20.04 still defaults to Xorg (the old, 1970ies codebase)
[18:45] <jxl> lotuspsychje: just double checked and yup - that's what im running now. the device is a cosmo communicator :)
[18:45] <lotuspsychje> +1
[18:47] <jeffmr> alkisg, I got an error I didn't understand when running the command you gave for the firmware for the sound card.
[18:47] <alkisg> What error?
[18:48] <jeffmr> I think it said error 1 and permission denied to the /tmp/fs where the package was.
[18:48] <jeffmr> I tried sudo and su, same results
[18:48] <alkisg> Paste the command and the error
[18:48] <jeffmr> So, I installed hirisute hippo
[18:49] <jeffmr> But I have no sound with it.
[18:49] <jeffmr> I can post the alsa-info link though.
[18:49] <alkisg> And did you install the package there?
[18:49] <alkisg> dpkg -l firmware-sof-signed
[18:49] <jeffmr> I'll check
[18:50] <jeffmr> no packages but in alsa-info I don't see any -2 or firmware errors?
[18:50] <jeffmr> http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=d4dd2f09189251edf1f36e7d19847863073dd2ed
[18:50] <alkisg> sudo apt install firmware-sof-signed; reboot
[18:50] <alkisg> Then check if it works
[18:50] <jeffmr> ok
[18:51] <jeffmr> errors encountered
[18:51] <jeffmr> trying to overwrite /lib/firmware/intel/sof/sof-apl.ri which is also in package linux-firmware 1.197.3
[18:52] <jeffmr> error code 1
[18:52] <Macer> tomreyn: oh? is there a way to swap?
[18:52] <Macer> i thought ubuntu defaulted to wayland nowadays
[18:53] <jeffmr> alkisg,
[18:53] <jeffmr> software firmware-sof-signed 1.6.1-2 tried to overwrite
[18:54] <jeffmr> same error as in 20.04
[18:54] <tomreyn> Macer: you can switch at login, by using the cog
[18:55] <tomreyn> Macer: don't do this if you have the proprietary "nvidia" graphics driver in use
[18:56] <Macer> i do not.
[18:56] <Macer> this macbook air doesn't have an nvidia
[18:57] <Macer> it's an intel 6000
[18:57] <Macer> let me give it a try heh
[18:58] <Macer> ok. using it now
[18:59] <tomreyn> Macer: just switching to this won't enable 3 finger touch gestures, though, i would think.
[19:00] <tomreyn> actually, it might, not sure
[19:00] <TesterCN> test
[19:01] <tomreyn> TesterCN: for tests, please use #tests
[19:01] <lantech19446> Has anyone ever heard of speed issues running Ubuntu on hyper-v? For some reason I'm only getting like 30-40Mbps
[19:01] <TesterCN> ok
[19:06] <jeffmr> alkisg, it looks like this is a known bug,
[19:06] <jeffmr> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firmware-sof/+bug/1930868
[19:06] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1930868 in linux-firmware (Ubuntu) "Package firmware-sof-signed (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/lib/firmware/intel/sof/sof-apl.ri', which is also in package linux-firmware 1.197" [High, Triaged]
[19:07] <jeffmr> someone suggests removing the firmware and replacing it with 1.7.  Do you think that would work?
[19:07] <alkisg> Sure, it might
[19:08] <alkisg> Just overwrite the file; if it works, you can later on use dpkg-divert to properly replace it
[19:08] <jeffmr> ok.
[19:30] <hiya> There is a firefox bug to report
[19:31] <hiya> It is PIP related. Just navigate to any streaming site like Youtube.com. Just set it to auto-play and drag one video to the end and let it auto-play to check, it not only cuts video from right but pushes it to the left of the screen if you keep it to the right most position.
[19:33] <hiya> Picture: https://ibb.co/nmKWMHs (see the control X, it cuts, the whole video cuts from right)
[19:34] <jeffmr> alkisg, that worked.  I had to force overwrite the package.  The sound quality isn't great and I can't use it with Google Duo on the web which was my intent.
[19:34] <jeffmr> Only the camera works but audio works with everything else.
[19:39] <jeremy31> jeffmr: see https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/586940/102332 as there is a way to set hifi in terminal but you might need to use other pacmd commands to see if alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic is correct for your device
[19:40] <jeremy31> jeffmr: this command might find out>  pacmd list-cards | grep platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic
[19:44] <jeffmr> thanks jeremy31.  I will check it out.  Have to go for now.
[19:46] <jeremy31> good luck
=== tomaw_ is now known as tomaw
[20:58] <Macer> i guess this is about as good as it is going to get with this old macbook air
[20:59] <Macer> i will try to figure out the 3 swipe gesture to make activities work  later
[21:00] <Macer> 4 finger swipe up and down works great though
[21:23] <jeffmr> Hi jeremy31, checking that link out now.  The command didn't yield anything but I might try the 1.6 sof firmware.
[21:31] <tich> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 21.04 on an Asrock NUC and I can't seem to get the sound working through the headphones... Any suggestions?
=== Junxter is now known as ooxoo
[21:49] <tomreyn> tich: i'm not sure i'll be able to help, but you can gather relevant information using the alsa-info script, available from the alsa-utils package
[21:49] <tich> tomreyn: I'll take a look for it
[21:51] <tich> tomreyn: does it need to be run with sudo?
[21:51] <devnull-> hi there, in ubuntu 21.04 firewalld seems to be used for managing netfilter. is it possible to check the rules, setuped by firewalld with iptables -L command ?
[21:53] <tich> tomreyn: ran is with sudo ;-) http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=fc56dff5250798edfcf8ab029491ca8760f145ee
[22:13] <tomreyn> tich: have a look at the downloads for your model and available bios upgrades (you currently have BIOS version P1.10) at https://www.asrockind.com/en-gb/download-center&category_id=35  while i have a look at your alsa-info output
[22:21] <tomreyn> tich: so you said sound doesn't work with your headphones. how are those headphones connected? wired through the audio jack socket, bluetooth, or something else? does it work any other way (maybe there's another output which can be used - maybe you have a screen which supports audio output via hdmi)?
[22:33] <tomreyn> tich: you should install package firmware-sof-signed (multiverse)
[22:35] <linsux> i'm not able to call fcitx5 window to input chinese in firefox and chrome
[22:41] <jeffmr> I installed firmware-sof-signed deb package forced overwrite and got my sound working
[22:41] <jeffmr> I then installed all the pulse audio software from the software store
[22:42] <jeffmr> got everything working except mic on laptop.
[22:42] <tomreyn> linsux: i will probably not be able to help, but you should provide more details - Ubuntu version, graphical desktop (if default Ubuntu desktop, just say so)
[22:42] <jeffmr> bluetooth audio and mic work though.
[22:43] <jeffmr> firmware was 1.6.1
[22:43] <tich> tomreyn: thanks! I'll give it a shot and let you know
[22:59] <sjn> heya folks; I'm having bluetooth disconnect/reconnect issues on 21.04 (using linux-firmware 1.197.3) with some intel hardware. Is there a way to try out more recent versions of the linux-firmware package to see if the reconnects stop?
[23:01] <jeffmr> sure.
[23:02] <jeffmr> let me get the link
[23:03] <linsux> 20.04 kubuntu
[23:03] <linsux> latest
[23:05] <jeffmr> sjn, having some trouble finding it.  just a sec
[23:05] <jeffmr> https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/21.04/ubuntu-multiverse-amd64/firmware-sof-signed_1.6.1-2_all.deb.html
[23:13] <sjn> jeffmr: ok, thanks. could you tell me how this is related to bluetooth disconnects? I'm reading lots about audio *mumble*, and am unsure how this is connected to my issues
[23:15] <jeffmr> sjn, not sure.  I didn't test bluetooth audio with my pixelbuds before I installed the firmware.
[23:15] <jeffmr> It was meant for my audio card which is intel.
[23:15] <sjn> ok. so it's a bit of a shot in the dark then
[23:16] <jeffmr> a bit, but its newer : D
[23:16] <jeffmr> but yes, a shot in the dark
[23:16] <sjn> hm. it conflicts with some files in linux-firmware 1.197.3, so there's that
[23:17] <jeffmr> I haven't had any disconnects with my bluetooth.  I'm on 21.
[23:17] <jeffmr> mate desktop
[23:20] <sjn> well, I'm happy to try relevant firmware upgrades, but it seems to me firmware-sof-signed does too much on my system that isn't related to what I'm thinking is the issue here...
[23:21] <jeffmr> ok.
[23:21] <sjn> and it's a bit worrying that the package is directly conflicting with files supplied by the linux-firmware package, without handing this gracefully
[23:21] <sjn> handling*
[23:25] <sjn> jeffmr: ok, seems to be some issues with the package you're recommending: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firmware-sof/+bug/1930868

[23:26] <jeffmr> I had to force it to overwrite the current firmware but it solved my problems with the exception of my mic
[23:26] <jeffmr> built-in mic
