| TheBigK | the answer for backported packages in lts is ppas, right? | 05:35 |
| TheBigK | i need a newer tar version in focal... but dont want dist-upgrade or compile it myself.. :/ | 05:36 |
| TheBigK | i checked for ppas... but didnt find any... | 05:36 |
| danielssan | TheBigK: there is a reboot of the backports team, as it lay dormant for a while. but if you want something for now, you would need to find it elsewhere or compile it yourself | 05:37 |
| TheBigK | danielssan: what means reboot of the backports team? so theres something ongoing with that? | 05:39 |
| danielssan | TheBigK: the old team didn't do much in the last few lts releases, that's why it was dormant, and they started a bit ago to reboot the backporting effort. but it's still ongoing before somebody can push backports | 05:41 |
| danielssan | TheBigK: btw, what are you looking for as a backport | 05:41 |
| TheBigK | a newer tar version | 05:41 |
| TheBigK | im building something inside docker but tar refuses to untar it... | 05:42 |
| TheBigK | when i donwload that package from jenkins | 05:42 |
| TheBigK | with newer tar version there are no issues | 05:42 |
| danielssan | TheBigK: so why not just building it yourself then? it's very straightforward | 05:45 |
| TheBigK | i know it is... but i lose the ability to update... | 05:45 |
| TheBigK | i mean... automatically | 05:46 |
| TheBigK | i could rebuild the debian package... and update that way... mhhh | 05:46 |
| TheBigK | how hard is that? | 05:46 |
| danielssan | TheBigK: which is very likely also with a ppa (in my opinion, as you can't be sure) | 05:46 |
| danielssan | TheBigK: just use the impish version to rebuild oO | 05:46 |
| TheBigK | yeah... its not a bad idea | 05:47 |
| TheBigK | i give it a shot... not now... but i let u know how it went... | 05:47 |
| TheBigK | thanks :) | 05:47 |

| agvantibo | Hello. I'm having a trouble with the default Ubuntu icon theme (Yaru) - the back to windowed mode icon is not present. I've located the issue by switching themes via gnome-tweaks (it worked and the icon was replaced), but I really like Yaru and simply switching the theme wouldn't be a solution for me. A google search of the issue yields no sensible results. Here are pictures of what happens: | 08:50 |

| BrianHechinger[m | So, nvidia 470.74 is in the repo now, but I can't actually install it on Ubuntu Studio because the packages seem to be a little out of wack. Something is still depending on 470.63. :( | 10:56 |
| Peanut | Hi - my desktop is on 21.04, and I've been using my Nikon DSLR camera as a webcam since the whole pandemic thing for meetings. This is done through 4vl2loopback, gphoto2 and ffmpeg. However, recently this has stopped working. Camera shutter still opens, but no video. | 11:34 |
| Peanut | None of the packages mentioned above seem to have had recent changes. | 11:35 |
| EriC^^ | Peanut: try to simplify it maybe and follow it step by step to see where it goes bad | 11:36 |
| Peanut | EriC^^: Thanks, that does seem like a good start, it's a fairly messy setup to be honest. | 11:37 |
| Peanut | The problem seems to be in 'gphoto2 --capture-movie --stdout' just generating black frames. | 11:57 |
| Tuna-Fish | So here's a weird one: On 21.04 on a intel macbook (late 2008), ubuntu runs, but changing the display background more than once reliably hangs the machine (mouse doesn't move and no keyboard input does anything, nothing moves on screen). Machine turns off by holding power down key, then on boot the display background will have changed to what was last selected | 12:11 |
| Tuna-Fish | Nothing useful in logs. | 12:12 |
| Tuna-Fish | Anyone have any idea on how to even start figuring out what is wrong here? | 12:12 |
| Tuna-Fish | So, on the above, I switched out wayland for X and it still crashes, but now I retain a moving mouse pointer after the crash. Nothing is clickable, though. | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:36 |
| lotuspsychje | Tuna-Fish: is your graphics driver loaded? | 12:43 |
| Tuna-Fish | nouveau is in use | 12:43 |
| Tuna-Fish | the gpu is so old that I don't think there is a nVidia driver in the official repos for it | 12:44 |
| Tuna-Fish | 9400m | 12:44 |
| Tuna-Fish | is it possible to turn off all gpu processing and just use software rendering? | 12:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Tuna-Fish: lets have a look at; sudo lshw -C video and your dmesg in a pastebin please? | 12:45 |
| ioria | Tuna-Fish, and you're running Gnome3 with that card ? | 12:52 |

| === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 | ||
| Tuna-Fish | lotuspsychje: taking a while, almost there | 12:53 |
| lotuspsychje | i was able to install 18.04 and 20.04 on older macbooks then that fine, so ill be curious whats the bottleneck | 12:54 |
| Tuna-Fish | lotuspsychje: https://pastebin.com/Q6HxKW0X | 12:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Tuna-Fish: dmesg looks pretty sane overal to me, besides maybe; nouveau 0000:02:00.0: therm: temperature (90 C) hit the 'fanboost' threshold | 13:03 |
| Tuna-Fish | that's normal, it's a laptop that runs kinda hot | 13:03 |
| lotuspsychje | Tuna-Fish: maybe its worth a try to go test a non 5.11 kernel on ubuntu, and compare | 13:04 |
| lotuspsychje | or compare with xubuntu/lubuntu | 13:04 |
| Tuna-Fish | yeah | 13:04 |
| lotuspsychje | you see something ioria ? | 13:04 |
| Tuna-Fish | I take it you can't even turn compositing off in gnome3 | 13:04 |
| Tuna-Fish | so xubuntu it probably is | 13:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Tuna-Fish: got any crashes in /var/crash ? | 13:05 |
| Tuna-Fish | yup, gnome-shell a few times | 13:06 |
| lotuspsychje | so maybe thats our culprit | 13:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Tuna-Fish: did you get a bug proposal after your crash(es)? | 13:07 |
| Tuna-Fish | once, hit upload, but then it crashed for good so not sure if anything was sent | 13:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Tuna-Fish: might be a good idea to ubuntu-bug gnome-shell and try to complete your bug file proces, see what the devs ask of your crash logs | 13:10 |
| lotuspsychje | Tuna-Fish: or try to invoke a new crash, and let us know the exact crash error | 13:11 |
| Tuna-Fish | I'll do that once the xubuntu install finishes, frankly I'm scared of doing more than one thing at a time on the machine right now | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Tuna-Fish: well from a xubuntu you wont be able to file a gnome-shell bug, but thats up to your choice | 13:13 |
| Tuna-Fish | I don't have to reboot to xubuntu to file it. (to clarify, I just installed the package xubuntu-desktop) | 13:14 |

| beuys | One thing I find strange about Ubuntu is that when you try to start a program and an instance of the same software is already running, it does not start a new instance but sends you to the running instance. | 15:33 |

| jmiahjones | no_gravity: I don't use a taskbar, but I also don't use the dock to "find" windows, either. Its only purpose is to let me know if I have an app launched or not.

| wrsuser | OK so I just compared the packages you get with a 'server install' and those you get with a minimal install of regular ubuntu desktop | 19:16 |
| wrsuser | *NOT* to see what ubuntu desktop had in addition.... but instead to see what ubuntu server had in addition! | 19:16 |
| wrsuser | And it adds in a whole whole of completely useless and presumptive junk | 19:17 |
| wrsuser | Surely there has to be a better way of having a REALLY minimal install than this subiquity server install rubbish!? | 19:17 |
| sarnold | wrsuser: you may prefer to use debootstrap | 19:17 |
| dfdn | https://termbin.com/84m9 | 19:17 |
| wrsuser | something that doesn't have an expectation of usage at all | 19:17 |
| wrsuser | sarnold, except that's not really in the form of an ISO in anyway | 19:18 |

| tomreyn | dfdn: why are you running a 2019 kernel? | 19:18 |
| dfdn | idk it just works | 19:19 |
| tomreyn | do you not try to install updates, or do they just fail to install? | 19:19 |
| dfdn | kernel is not updated by updates | 19:20 |
| tomreyn | dfdn: this is a VM, does it actually need to be fixed? | 19:20 |
| jimklo | got a question not necessarily Ubuntu... but my problem is happening on Ubuntu... I have one user on the system trying to launch firefox using X11 forwarding, firefox just hangs and does nothing, I can log in as other users and run firefox and it works fine. Anyone have any thoughts what might be causing this? | 19:21 |
| dfdn | no, until some new ubuntu version broke the apt in a way I described | 19:21 |
| leo__ | hi | 19:22 |
| tomreyn | dfdn: well, this could be related to running a massively outdated kernel image | 19:22 |
| tomreyn | dfdn: maybe the easiest approach is to backup and reinstall? | 19:23 |
| dfdn | well i could to try | 19:25 |
| jmiahjones | wrsuser: On differences between minimal and server installs: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/do-you-recommend-using-minimal-ubuntu-with-lxd-containers/9532/7 | 19:29 |
| jmiahjones | The link in that thread: https://askubuntu.com/questions/44185/is-using-ubuntu-minimal-any-different-from-server | 19:29 |
| wrsuser | it really won't be telling me anything I haven't already figured out | 19:30 |
| wrsuser | it just stinks is all | 19:30 |
| wrsuser | I tried the 20.04 mini.iso first (however unsupported it is or is not)... and I'm tempted to go back to it and just fix whatever it forgets to do before rebooting | 19:31 |
| wrsuser | as it installs a seemingly booting system... yet the screen is black until you hit the power button and then you see the purple text ubuntu screen briefly as it shuts down | 19:31 |
| t3nj1n | @donofrio, is it running in a program or is it running in a browser | 19:31 |
| wrsuser | but it's got to be MILES better than the this server-live/subiquity crap | 19:31 |
| jmiahjones | Cool, glad you figured it out though! If you really want to go that deep into configuring a really minimal system, knock yourself out. | 19:32 |
| jmiahjones | The gift and and the curse is that you may end up breaking some basic functionality that you'll have to un-break later. | 19:32 |
| t3nj1n | @donofrio, if its running in a browser just install a full-page screenshot extension | 19:33 |
| wrsuser | https://soylentnews.org/article.pl?sid=20/04/30/002245 | 19:33 |
| jmiahjones | Not that that's really different from regular use, hah. wrsuser: Might I ask what problems you have with subiquity? | 19:33 |
| wrsuser | AH! "even if there's no prompt ALT-F2 works (switching to single-user mode), then you can login" | 19:33 |
| wrsuser | jmiahjones, it is too presumptuous in installing a load of stuff you might never need | 19:34 |
| wrsuser | and it's frickin huge | 19:34 |
| brainswithballs | Love this guys, keep going | 19:34 |
| wrsuser | and it's not as easy to use as the normal debian-installer ... looks like something gentoo would use 20 years ago | 19:34 |
| wrsuser | in short... over engineered | 19:34 |
| jmiahjones | wrsuser: It seems like it comes down to preference. Yeah, minimal it is not. But it simplifies things for people who aren't too concerned with some extra config and would rather subiquity just "figure it out." | 19:37 |
| jmiahjones | Have you thought about using cloud-init/ansible on top of a base image to deploy a minimal system? | 19:38 |

| Sqaure | A question about 18.04. I have a docker installation of version 20.10.7 that has a known problem with it. I believe ive installed it from default PPA's. Im wondering if there is some trick to get a newer version. Where would you look? | 20:48 |
| Sqaure | (im generally a bit "weak" on package handling. Seldom do trickery in fear of messing up my OS) | 20:48 |
| sarnold | can you rephrase the question? | 20:50 |
| Sqaure | sarnold, Which part is unclear? | 20:51 |
| sarnold | Sqaure: all of it :) | 20:52 |
| Sqaure | i run ubuntu 18.04. Have docker 20.10.7 installed which has a known problem to it but is default PPA's max version. How would you try to install 20.10.8 (or a whatever package of higher version that default PPA's dont carry) under these conditions? | 20:54 |
| Sqaure | sarnold, ^ | 20:55 |
| sarnold | Sqaure: aha :) thanks; you could email / file a bug report against your docker package, and ask whoever has packaged it to either fix the bug, or package the newer version | 20:55 |
| Sqaure | sarnold, how do i find out who has packaged it? | 20:56 |
| sarnold | Sqaure: apt policy <packagename> will tell you the ppa name you used to install it | 20:57 |
| sarnold | Sqaure: there's also a newer docker snap available, but i don't know the consequences of switching from a deb to the snap https://snapcraft.io/docker | 20:58 |
| Sqaure | yeah, that confueses the hell out of me. | 20:58 |
| Sqaure | output of apt policy : https://paste.ofcode.org/35sAp5MUk3AHLQEq9ZbwSFH | 21:01 |
| sarnold | oh! so no ppas involved :) that's just the standard docker package | 21:01 |
| Sqaure | so how do I go from there to find package maintainer | 21:01 |
| sarnold | ubuntu-bug docker.io should do the trick | 21:01 |
| Sqaure | that doesnt let me describe the problem and how to fix it? | 21:03 |
| Sqaure | Theres a fine description of the problem in a github issue. | 21:04 |
| sarnold | sure, it'll give you an url towards the end of hte process | 21:04 |
| sarnold | you can link in the github issue there | 21:04 |
| Sqaure | ah ok | 21:04 |
