[00:15] ok [00:16] do you? [00:16] EriC^^, i could also just put a block to it? like tell it to not install grub-efi-ia32 [00:17] t3stubbuntu: I know vaguely it's a virtualization or container thing with chromeos, but that's it [00:17] true [00:18] ghostnik11: doesn't look like anything critical, yeah you could use apt-mark hold grub-efi..., but you'd need to modify /var/lib/dpkg/status and set the package as installed so it doesnt try to configure [00:19] whats ghostnik and eric talking about the grub bootloader [00:19] EriC^^, also other question is, say i change something in grub, will grub-update still work? [00:20] ghostnik11: yeah update-grub should work fine [00:20] EriC^^, okay i will run sudo -r --force-all grub-efi-ia32 grub-efi-ia32-bin [00:21] EriC^^, that will take care of dpkg telling me i need to run dpkg --configure -a [00:21] hmm what's the files of the bin one thog=ugh? [00:21] *though [00:21] i gtg, electricity is out [00:21] t3stubbuntu, we are talking about the 32bit uefi thats giving me problems when it comes to installing a new version of ubuntu [00:23] have you posted on the ubuntu subreddit or stackoverflow or something about the problem [00:24] is there anyway i can look back at old irc channel b/c EriC^^ had sent me other commands i wanted to put them down on notes so i know what to do for next time [00:25] were those commands to fix the problem? [00:25] ghostnik11: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2021/09/23/%23ubuntu.html -- change the date as necessary [00:26] sarnold, thanks bro. [00:28] t3stubbuntu, kind of. so basically i had a new install on a 2 in 1 tablet (asus t100ta) and basically i didn't install the bootloader b/c it always crashes so i ran ubiquity -b and after i then proceded to install the bootloader but then the system crashed. so then i had to boot with live usb and get to grub via pressing C. after i had to boot via linuz .../boot/vmlinz and initrd [00:29] t3stubbuntu, once i got in. then he basically looked at the error we were getting and we basically removed some of the uefi stuff b/c this device is weird and should have never been shipped with a 32 bit uefi that sits on top of a 64 bit architecture [00:30] that does seem weird [00:32] t3stubbuntu, yeah but it was very clever what eric^^ suggested. he basically made the system think we had the uefi boot folder in another location so now the windows mbr just goes straight to grub when i turn on the 2 in 1 tablet [00:34] i mean cheaper systems use a 32-bit uefi even when its 64 bit [00:37] try reinstalling ubuntu but follow https://github.com/5bentz/linux-asus-t100/blob/master/T100TA_guide.md [00:39] linux compatibillity is bad on asus transformer devices [00:41] ... [00:42] yeah for years 32 bit uefi things just plain didn't work. I don't know if we actually support it now or not. [00:44] i don't think it works now either [00:46] he should probably get a 64-bit uefi device, if he wants a 2-in-1 64-bit uefi device, theres probably one [00:46] t3stubbuntu, yeah i did follow the instructions of another person. but its just that the 32 bit uefi gives too much problems. honestly i wish i could erase it and just have grub buts its not possible. i have to go but thanks for the help everyone. [00:46] t3stubbuntu, yeah i will get one in the future. i need to save up some money to get a better one than this. but i am grateful for this one because it has come in handy due to its versitility [01:07] n [01:08] hi [01:09] any luck t3stubbuntu? [01:10] ok, so I am trying to build an image for another machine. I mounted it via loopback just fine, was able to chroot into it, but forgot to enlarge it first. so I exited the chroot and unmounted it, but resize2fs can't touch it because it's in use, turns out something under systemd decided to open a file in there and still has an fd to it orsomething? I cannot figure out how to release it [01:10] however it's not listed under /proc/mounts anymore [01:11] hmm, I'm surprised the unmount worked if systemd still had something in it open [01:12] losetup -d /dev/loop9 # doesn't unbind it either [01:12] ps | grep loop9 shows [loop9] and [jbd2/loob9p1-8] [01:13] so maybe some kernel threads have it? [01:13] i can use init.d on crouton i dont really need help but i can help someone [01:14] yep. under kthreadd [01:24] Hello... I have successfully built a new (5.14) kernel using existing Ubuntu-20.04 kconfig and installed it etc, however the initrd that is generated contains no modules at all, so it is not surprisingly unbootable... Rerunning update-initramfs does not help [01:26] Google is not helping, all suggestions are just to run update-initramfs [01:27] Guest94: how did you build the kernel? [01:27] Guest94: what's wrong with the supported kernel that is already available? [01:28] Kernel was fetched from kernel.org, extracted, make oldconfig / make -j100 / make modules_install / make install [01:29] Guest94: hah. dang. that's more or less what I was going to suggest as likely to work :( [01:29] This system has an Intel DG-1 card, and 5.12 or thereabouts is where we are _hoping_ that support in the i915 module was merged into the main kernel [01:29] Guest94: (I haven't actuallybooted a hand-built kernel in many years.. but still. that's what I did do, way back when..) [01:30] The alternative being Intel's patched 5.4.48-xemax... which also hangs at boot on systems (including this Gigabyte) for reasons we've never been able to determine [01:32] Guest94: I wonder.. maybe try the make bindeb-pkg target? [01:33] I can try plenty compiling wise... this machine can build the kernel from clean/cold almost faster than it can boot cold [01:33] and probably this wouldn't actually involve much compiling, just a few packaging steps [01:33] I'm guessing ten seconds :) [01:34] my ubuntu machine always hangs on bootscreen for a few minutes before showing "I/O error", can you help [01:35] Not quite that fast... I timed it at 2m14 for kernel+modules. This was running off of one NVME, so it was definitely limited there. [01:35] These servers love their loooooooong POST sequences [01:35] Guest94: oh, man, that's a nice machine indeed. I thought my 'big machine' was impressive with something like a 2:53 'make defconfig ; make -j 300' run :) [01:36] help [01:36] Guest94: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [01:36] Guest770: that's probably a sign that you need to replace a hard drive, though maybe it's just bad cables, etc.. [01:36] Guest94: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [01:36] Guest770: does the system actually boot all the way to a prompt or login? if you can get to a shell, check the output of the dmesg command, it probably includes more details about what's broken [01:37] it once booted to a login but when entering credidentials it just flashed at me and rebooted [01:38] :( [01:38] leftyb: Hmmm. Definitely simpler... I will probably do this to get it to boot & see if i915.ko claims the dg1. But I will still need to build the i915 with low level debug enabled [01:38] Guest94: but my hope is that you can just repack it into a deb much much quicker than three minutes :) [01:39] guest770: Is this a rotating hard drive or an ssd? Do you have another machine you can connect it to check for errors? [01:39] Is there a phrase I can Google that means getting the same software you use on your old laptop on a new device? I was thinking of something simple like an apt script or shell script I can keep on github that I can simply run wget https://github.com/ash-m/install/raw/hash -O - | sh [01:39] ash_m: huh? [01:40] Like, can't apt install from a file? [01:40] (That you can generate from apt) [01:41] ash_m: Do you mean you want a list of all packages installed on a system? [01:41] aptitude search '~i!~M' -F '%p' | awk '/.*/ { printf("%s ", $1); }' > package_list [01:41] Guest94 basically, I'm looking for the simplest way to setup a new laptop [01:42] Is what I came up with to generate a list of all packages as part of a lightweight backup engine [01:42] ash_m: dpkg --get-selections on one machine, dpkg --set-selections on the other machine, then apt install -f -- and see if that does the trick [01:42] ubuntu keeps popping up blank errors and most things are segfaulting [01:43] help me [01:43] Guest13: what version of ubuntu? [01:44] 20.04 [01:44] Guest13: look in /var/crash/ for the latest files. That should give you an idea of what is crashing [01:44] but what about the empty error boxes [01:46] in /var/crash i see a lot of1 - 5 gb files [01:46] Guest13: look for the latest files by timestamp and note the name of them. [01:47] Hi, I got a MSI GE76 laptop, and installed ubuntu21.04, there is no ethernet/wifi driver available, is there anyone has ever met this problem? [01:47] oh no it kernel paniced [01:48] Guest13: you could try memtest86 or memtest86+ but I wouldn't be surprised if this computer is too unstable to even run it. :( it sounds very unhappy. [01:48] Guest13: *maybe* it's just corrupted / bad hard drive or cabling or power.. but a memtest would be a good start [01:48] Guest13: good luck :) [01:49] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRd3buflzGY more than the title. [01:49] oopps [01:49] Guest13: Is the system overclocked? Can you check the hard drive in another machine for large numbers of errors? [01:49] the system isnt overclocked [01:50] i saw many 1 to 5 gigabyte files in /var/crash [01:51] Guest13: ls -lth /var/crash/*|head [01:51] Guest13: ls -lth /var/crash/*|head | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:51] Guest13: 'edac-util' will report corrected memory errors, but only if the system has ECC memory... that can be useful to diagnose memory failures [01:51] Guest13: please run the command I posted above and share the URL it spits out here [01:54] https://termbin.com/vydw [01:55] :/ [01:56] Guest13: sudo find /var/crash/ -mtime 0 -exec ls -l {} \; | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:56] what should i do [01:56] ok [01:57] Guest13: Sounds like the system has either memory or disk corruption or both. [01:57] kernel paniced again [01:57] Guest13: reboot and run it again [01:58] I'd say to boot it from a liveusb to eliminate the "corrupt disk" angle, then check the disk filesystem. [01:58] well now somethings wrong with grub [01:59] Guest13: you have a hardware problem. Either your hard drive or memory [01:59] You are trying to fix a system that is broken from an unknown starting point. You need to back away from it and start from somewhere that you know *works*. [02:00] my friends dealing with another problem on another ubuntu machine [02:01] Guest13: you have a hardware problem. Either your hard drive or memory. Your friends issues is completely unrelated and not the subject at the moment [02:01] ok [02:02] so [02:02] is hardware beyond the limits of this channel [02:02] Guest13: yes. But it's already been suggested to you to run a memtest and/or disk check from a live usb/cd [02:03] ok ill get my recovery usb [02:04] ok i plugged it in [02:05] booted [02:06] Guest13: https://linuxhint.com/run_memtest_ubuntu/ [02:06] Guest13: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/disk-check.html.en [02:06] Guest13: good luck. No need for a play-by-play here [02:11] memtest said theres 15 errors [02:12] there ya go, replace the memory [02:12] ok [02:12] i just happen to have over 1 tb of ecc in a huge box [02:13] Guest13: good luck [02:14] how would someone have THAT much [02:15] t3stubbuntu: 1TB is only 16 sticks, and that's if you avoid the area where the price/GB curve for DIMMS goes vertical... [02:15] oh [02:15] 1TB of 64G sticks is roughly $5K depending who you buy it from [02:17] i hae more than 1 tb, but i have 1 tb stored in separate bags [02:17] Most of the machines we get with pre-installed memory use 16G sticks, as you want a stick in every channel for maximum bandwidth, so OEMs only use 64/128G sticks for huge-memory nodes (1TB+) [02:18] i have 5 tb of them, the box is big because i have graphics cards and other stuff [02:18] btw it worked [02:21] Guest13, you're done? [02:21] it was easy when all you had to care about was single vs dualchannel where dualchannel in some cases could bring you up to 5% performance === genii is now known as genii-core [02:22] nowadays with amd zen you have this 8-channel config for optimal speed [02:22] err optimal performance [02:22] and suddently it gets expensive... not as easy and cheap to "grow as you go" [02:24] all these blank pop-ups on this ubuntu machine wont go away though [02:24] i got the other problem fixed [02:25] Guest13: sudo find /var/crash/ -mtime 0 -exec ls -l {} \; | nc termbin.com 9999 [02:25] nothings segfaulting anymore [02:25] but these blank pop-ups are still there [02:26] I'm back baby! [02:26] Annnnd I still can't get xen to run [02:27] I tried disabling iommu but that didn't work [02:27] Guest13: If your system was previously suffering memory corruption to *that* level, you probably also had garbage written to disk. Have you checked the disk filesystem using another system that works? [02:28] there is some garbage in every other directory except temp directories [02:29] tmp directories wipe data after reboot [02:29] true [02:29] Guest13: if you are seeing corrupted files in "every other directory" then it's time to wipe and start over. No recovering from that [02:29] Guest13: what seems to be the issue? [02:30] golden_ticket: they had confirmed bad memory which now seems to have writted bad data/files all over the filesystem [02:30] ah [02:30] Hello, badblocks still cannot handle 5TB drives unless one sets the blocksize to 2048 [02:30] Guest13: have you run a filesystem integrity check? [02:30] Also is this a RAID? [02:30] !bug | lapion [02:30] lapion: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [02:31] golden_ticket: RAID isn't going to help nor is a filesystem integrity check. Corrupt files written to the drive are corrupt files written to the drive. Not bad blocks [02:31] Yeah but you might wanna see if you have bad blocks no?" [02:32] fsck from util-linux 2.34 [02:32] I mean see how far the damage went [02:32] e2fsck 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020) [02:32] ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block [02:32] fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks... [02:32] fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/vda1 [02:32] The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 [02:32] golden_ticket: completely separate issue to be addressed after reinstalling the OS [02:32] oh [02:33] its givinf the same error even on /dev/sda2 [02:33] maybe the bad memory could have corrupted the entire filesystem at the block level, that I'm not too familiar with. Either way, nothing to do now except reinstall. Possibly assuming a bad drive and replacing the drive [02:33] lapion: Drives larger than 2T are generally 4K sectors anyway? You can't escape the fact that 512B x 2^32 = 2TB... [02:33] the mnt directory was removed [02:33] Guest13: reinstall. Good luck [02:33] i can confirm mnt was there when i got the machine [02:33] Guest13: We get it, the system is boned. [02:34] Guest13: you might wanna try to recover the data you can and then do a fresh install? [02:34] What happened leading up to this? [02:34] golden_ticket: bad memory [02:34] Ah [02:35] well [02:35] before i could even reinstall the whole system froze and locked up [02:35] cant even use the keyboard [02:36] Guest13: before the usb booted? [02:36] yeah [02:36] Guest13: you have some serious hardware issues there. Try #hardware [02:36] Ah so is this a desktop or a laptop? [02:36] Or do that [02:36] Guest13: this is beyond the OS level now [02:39] leftyfb: do you think you could help me on my quest to get xen running? [02:39] golden_ticket: I have almost zero experience with xen. I prefer LXD [02:40] Ohhh I've never heard of LXD, do you have info on it? [02:40] !lxd | golden_ticket [02:40] golden_ticket: LXD is a tool for more easily managing !lxc containers. https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxd.html and https://linuxcontainers.org/ [02:41] Oh is this like docker? [02:41] Gulp... preparing to order remote system reboot with 5.14.7 from repo (thanks leftyb). Wish me luck and/or that the IPMI on this machine doesn't fritz out again... The initrd is the right size at least :) [02:42] golden_ticket: yes, but it's the whole OS, not just application-specific. And you don't "build" it, you just launch the image of hundreds of versions of different distro's and you are up and running in a few minutes [02:43] golden_ticket: for instance: lxc launch ubuntu:20.04 mynewcontainer [02:46] Interesting. System boot stole the framebuffer from the remote KVM and it went dead. That's... obnoxious. [03:24] hello [03:25] hi [03:25] hey I'm looking for some info about apache2 .. where should i go ?

Anybody has an idea to to check which DNS is really being used when resolving a hostname? systemd-resolve uses the internal dns server (dnsmasq or whatever) to resolv a host. But so you can't see which of the real configured DNS servers is being queried. (e.g. SERVER: 127.0.0.53#53(127.0.0.53)) [06:50] TomTom, "resolvectl" will show where systemd-resolve it forwarding to; [06:56] rfm: I have multiple entries with DNS scope. I've checked the order in the generated /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf and there the VPN one is the first, but still it seem to resolve the names via the DNS from the internet connection. It might be related with the search domains? Whats odd to me is that the link shows "DNS Domain: ~." I never saw this syntax before. Is that valid?

[12:44] #ubuntu supports Ubuntu and official flavors; versions 18.04, 20.04, 21.04 [12:47] I'm on Kubuntu 21.04 Running on an Acer Predator i7-11800h and the Nvidia 3060 max-q version along side integrated, and I have a brightness issue which is really making me ill.

[14:49] anonymous40: are you saying this? "I downloaded a Xubuntu installer ISO file and wrote it to a DVD on computer 1. Now I want to use it to install Xubuntu on computer 2. how do i do this?" [14:50] or is he possibly saying "I want to burn this ISO into a DVD" [14:50] anonymous40: if you can't find help with this in #ubuntu-br or #ubuntu-pt, try to make short simple sentences and translate at deepl.com or translate.google.com [14:51] !br [14:51] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[14:51] I downloaded a Xubuntu installer ISO file and wrote it to a DVD on computer 1. Now I want to use it to install Xubuntu on computer 2. how do i do this? [14:52] anonymous40: this should just work, as long as computer 2 is set (in the BIOS) to boot of the DVD. [14:53] First, ensure the target caomputer contains a DVD drive. Then enter the BIOS of that computer and set the system to use the DVD drive as the drive to boot from. Insert the DVD into the DVD drive. Reboot the computer [14:54] Done. [15:15] How do I track if the mic is in use by some application on Ubuntu? [15:17] I am using inotifywait /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c to track usage but this will only work for my system. Not for others [15:19] you usually get a mic icon in the top panel as soon as teh mic is used ... i'd suppose there is also some pulseaudio way to get that info [15:20] Recon, have you tried with lsof ? [15:38] how do you remove the HWE kernels? removing linux-image-5.11.0-36-generic forces linux-image-unsigned-5.11.0-36-generic to be installed. Removing linux-image-unsigned-5.11.0-36-generic forces linux-image-5.11.0-36-generic to be reinstalled. [15:43] freedombacon, if you want again the 5. kernel (i suppose you're on focal) you need to install linux-generic (sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic ) then you can remove the hwe [15:44] *5.4 [15:44] To downgrade from HWE/OEM to GA kernel: sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic [15:44] freedombacon: why do you want to remove the HWE kernel? [15:45] reboot, then; sudo apt remove linux-{image,headers}-generic-hwe-20.04 [15:45] freedombacon: https://gist.github.com/tomreyn/8d7675840d7bc7389b32e4d8887ca449 tries to sum up your options [15:46] leftyfb, it is not compatible with the graphics driver [15:54] tomreyn, i assume you mean the switch from HWE to GA part. That's about to make things worse. It wants to install 5.11.0-36, as well as hwe-18.04, hwe-18.04-edge, hwe-20.04, and hwe-20.04-edge [15:55] hello everybody. Has anyone else run into tracker-store crashing regularly shortly after login? This is on 21.04 [15:55] freedombacon, what cmd is doing that ? [15:55] no, it should not mix 10.04-hwe and 20.04 hwe.. [15:55] sudo apt update && sudo apt install --install-recommends --autoremove --purge linux-image-generic-hwe-*- linux-image-generic [15:55] c/18.04 .. [15:55] folks i am trying to create package of openvswitch and endup with this error - https://paste.opendev.org/show/809569/ [15:56] DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='parallel=8 nocheck' fakeroot debian/rules binary [15:56] any idea what is wrong? [15:56] freedombacon, nope [16:00] nope, what? it doesn't do that for you, i whould have run something else? [16:01] freedombacon, you're misreading the output [16:01] how do I rollback ca-certificates from 20210119~20.04.2 to 20210119~20.04.1? It says " Version '20210119~20.04.1' for 'ca-certificates' was not found", but I know 20.04.1 is a thing. [16:02] it says 5 NEW packages will be installed, then it lists those I just said. how am I misreading that? [16:03] freedombacon, ok, so please post the output [16:06] 20210119~20.04.1 is removed, ofcourse, we don't want you to mix up bad certificates [16:07] ioria, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Xr4Rh3QQVM/ [16:08] blacklist expired "DST Root CA X3". seems pretty important [16:15] oerheks: the problem for me is it's not expired yet. here's why I need that not-expired-yet certificate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates/+bug/1944481 [16:15] Launchpad bug 1944481 in ca-certificates (Ubuntu Impish) "Distrust 'DST Root CA X3'" [Undecided, Fix Committed] [16:15] freedombacon, you issued a broken command [16:16] freedombacon, --purge linux-image-generic-hwe-*- not --purge linux-image-generic-hwe-* [16:17] i see it published in proposed, 18min ago https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates [16:19] not sure now, you have to wait for the fix? [16:20] ioria, i thought that was a typo because when that hyphen is there, the command doesn't do anything https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PxGZ54CTJ2/ [16:23] freedombacon, apt -s install linux-generic | nc termbin.com 9999 === seth_ is now known as sethmarinello [16:27] ioria, https://termbin.com/nzwp [16:28] freedombacon, dpkg -l | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999 [16:31] ioria, https://termbin.com/odyy [16:31] yes, it's already installed [16:31] freedombacon, ^^ [16:31] freedombacon, reboot on the 5.4 kernel [16:32] freedombacon, on 5.4.0-86 , i mean [16:33] freedombacon, and btw you have removed the 5.11 kernel [16:33] ioria, yes, i'm booted on it right now. i need the 5.11 kernel removed so it always boots with 5.4 automatically [16:33] freedombacon, uname -r [16:33] ioria, 5.4.0-86-generic [16:34] freedombacon, sudo apt install --reinstall linux-generic [16:35] ioria, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ggzd3snrg6/ [16:37] freedombacon, ok; apt -s autopurge | nc termbin.com 9999 [16:39] just run updates, purge is included in updates now [16:39] ioria, https://termbin.com/ksxx [16:40] seems clean and done, removing HWE [16:40] freedombacon, apt -s remove --purge linux-generic-hwe-20.04 linux-hwe-* linux-modules-5.1* linux-modules-5.8.0-* | nc termbin.com 9999 [16:43] https://termbin.com/ry96 [16:44] ioria, ^ [16:44] freedombacon, i guess you already have removed the hwe metapkg... [16:45] ioria, yeah, that one was one of the first things i did [16:45] freedombacon, ok ; sudo apt remove --purge linux-generic-hwe-20.04 linux-hwe-* linux-modules-5.1* linux-modules-5.8.0-* [16:46] ioria, it looks like that's doing it! thank you so much! [16:47] freedombacon, ok ; when it's done paste again dpkg -l | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999 [16:48] ioria, https://termbin.com/5u1z [16:49] Uhm, qq all? [16:49] freedombacon, sudo apt purge linux-image-5.11* [16:50] Well, not so talkative audition, later! [16:50] 1 minute 5 seconds .. not a record [16:51] ioria, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7FXBBpCQBg/ [16:52] freedombacon, ok; sudo apt purge linux-image-5.8* [16:55] ioria, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HXJgnGTDTB/ [16:55] freedombacon, ok; sudo apt purge linux-image-unsigned-5.11.0-34-generic [16:57] ioria, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CZpZmwBFch/ [16:58] freedombacon, dpkg -l | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999 [16:58] ioria, https://termbin.com/ypvl [16:59] freedombacon, sudo update-grub [17:00] freedombacon, keep in mind, that now you have just one kernel [17:01] ioria, that's fine. i know it works and i'm fine with getting just bug and security updates for it [17:01] just curious why brave isn't in the repositories if it is open source? [17:01] freedombacon, ok ;if you want you can reinstall linux-image-5.4.0-42, but maybe not very usuful [17:02] brb [17:02] i gotta step out for a while too. thanks again for all your help! [17:02] goddard, it is, as snap https://snapcraft.io/brave [17:05] oerheks: thats cool not having a problem installing it was just curious if a reason existed for it to not be in the repos [17:06] goddard: i guess just like with chromium nobody wants to maintain it [17:08] ravage: ahh but brave provides their own repo [17:08] thats totally possible. never checked it [17:09] does ubuntu need to do some checking on it for it to be included? [17:09] how does that work? [17:10] Ubuntu does not include external sources. There must be a local copy in the Ubuntu repos. And that also means that there must be a maintainer for it [17:10] ravage: ok so basically copy and pasting from an existing source? [17:11] there are a lot of versions and architectures to support. so c/p does not work. thats why chromium is a snap now. [17:13] their repo for example only supports amd64 [17:14] note that the brave snap is actualy maintained by brave themselves [17:14] but they dont recommend using it really :D [17:15] "Brian Hechinger: usualy we..." <- Installed 470.74 via the binary blob installer from their website and it works. 470.63 is a black screen no matter what I do. [17:15] well, they keep it well up to date ... i thnk they *once* didnt recommend it but that was years ago AFAIK [17:16] ogra: that is what the current download page states. if you have different information let me know [17:21] ravage, well, they probably didnt update it, no idea ... i wouldnt see why they invest into actively maintaining it but then tell people to not use it (and brave is in the snap store since years) [17:22] (teh snap was last updated 10 days ago FWIW) [17:23] ogra, 'You can find Brave on the Snapcraft Store, but while it is maintained by Brave Software, it is not yet working as well as our official packages. We currently recommend that users who are able to use our official package repositories do so instead of using the Snap.' meh [17:23] bah [17:24] i remember seeing that sentence years ago though ... i wonder if it is still true [17:25] with 22.04 all default browsers i Ubuntu will be snaps anyway ... brave should just follow suit 🙂 [17:26] s/i/in/ [17:26] firefox too, afaik [17:26] https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/feature-freeze-exception-seeding-the-official-firefox-snap-in-ubuntu-desktop/24210 [17:26] yep [17:28] (in case of firefox mozilla actually asked for it themselves) [17:29] that's interesting indeed, meaning some trust in the infrastructure [17:29] Eeeew. Time to see what's upstream firefox.deb like... :D [17:30] alkisg, you have 6 more months 🙂 the deb stays around for the flavours ATM (not sure if it will beyond 22.04, perhaps is a flavour actively picks up maintenance) [17:30] s/is/if/ [17:31] shipping Ubuntu without a decent default browser really doesnt sound right to me [17:31] Chromium stayed .deb for 18.04, I guess firefox will remain a .deb in 20.04, but yeah upgrading to 22.04 will be an issue... [17:31] what do you mean "without a decent default browser" ? [17:31]
