Unit193I mean, Ubuntu flavors are still Ubuntu. :305:30
digibitHi there. Is there a way to install aqualung without compilation? I get errors compiling it from source and I don't have the time to fiddle with it right now.07:52
gnrpdigibit: Did you try downloading it from an old source and installing it by hand?07:53
gnrpsearch the package on packages.ubuntu.com, download it, and install it by hand with `dpkg -i $PACKAGE`07:54
digibitI07:54
digibitI'll give it a try. Thanks gnrp!07:55
gimzmoenot sure if this is the best place for the question but I've got a weird situation, I'm not sure how to google my way out :)  I had a apt-cacher-ng server on my network, I moved that service to another machine, it uses the 'avahi' magic to announce itself.  Computers on my network with 'squid-deb-proxy-client' error out trying to contact the old server even if the old server does not run apt-cacher-ng, or is17:35
gimzmoeremoved from the network.  17:35
tomreyngimzmoe: i'd try asking this on #ubuntu-server or #ubuntu - larger audience, and your question is not xubuntu specific17:53
astraljavaHey gang, if anyone would like to assist in trying to verify a grub-mkconfig feature, I'd like that very much. :)17:54
astraljavaMainly, there's this option in /etc/default/grub called GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID, and if set true, should use /dev -style paths for setting root.17:55
astraljavaBut I found that it doesn't work in my case, which is 20.05 (grub-common version 2.04-1ubuntu26.13). If you have a newer release, could you please try setting that option, and seeing whether the change is there?17:56
astraljavaIf you run grub-mkconfig without the -o option, it just prints it to stdout, and there's no fear in breaking your setup. :)17:57
astraljavaOh, and yeah, as it stands, there are "set root='lvmid=bGdslGKL...'" lines in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but it doesn't get updated after a resize of LVM volume group.17:59
astraljavaThis in turn results in "grub rescue >" during next boot, and there's nothing you can do. Nothing, when we're talking about an installation as a guest in virtualbox, with USB ports closed by company policy.18:00
tomreynby "20.05", do oyu mean "Xubuntu 20.04 LTS"?18:03
tomreynby "resize of LVM volume group", do you mean adding PVs or removing any? I don't think the VG lvmid would change then, though.18:05
gimzmoetomreyn: lol... seems quite obvious now18:06
astraljavatomreyn: Yes, sorry, a typo. Xubuntu 20.04 LTS indeed. And with LVM, I have added a new PV to a VG, and then resized the filesystem. This changes the UUID of the partition, and grub cannot find /boot any longer.18:07
astraljavaOr rather, /root, sorry.18:08
=== genii-core is now known as genii
astraljavaBecause /boot/grub/grub.cfg is generated, modifying it by hand isn't an option, as it gets faulty again after the next kernel update.18:08
astraljavaI looked for a bug on savannah for this, as someone had a fix for this back in '17, but apparently it was never properly reported and fixed, or it has been fixed quietly in the background.18:10
astraljavaSo I could try and install a newer .deb, but will not unless I get a confirmation it works on newer releases.18:11
jdwwattsi used rufus to install Xubuntu 20.10 along side windows on my new hp pavilion  lap top so far no issues18:40
