[05:30] <Unit193> I mean, Ubuntu flavors are still Ubuntu. :3
[07:52] <digibit> Hi 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.
[07:53] <gnrp> digibit: Did you try downloading it from an old source and installing it by hand?
[07:54] <gnrp> search the package on packages.ubuntu.com, download it, and install it by hand with `dpkg -i $PACKAGE`
[07:54] <digibit> I
[07:55] <digibit> I'll give it a try. Thanks gnrp!
[17:35] <gimzmoe> not 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 is
[17:35] <gimzmoe> removed from the network.  
[17:53] <tomreyn> gimzmoe: i'd try asking this on #ubuntu-server or #ubuntu - larger audience, and your question is not xubuntu specific
[17:54] <astraljava> Hey gang, if anyone would like to assist in trying to verify a grub-mkconfig feature, I'd like that very much. :)
[17:55] <astraljava> Mainly, 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.
[17:56] <astraljava> But 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?
[17:57] <astraljava> If you run grub-mkconfig without the -o option, it just prints it to stdout, and there's no fear in breaking your setup. :)
[17:59] <astraljava> Oh, 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.
[18:00] <astraljava> This 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.
[18:03] <tomreyn> by "20.05", do oyu mean "Xubuntu 20.04 LTS"?
[18:05] <tomreyn> by "resize of LVM volume group", do you mean adding PVs or removing any? I don't think the VG lvmid would change then, though.
[18:06] <gimzmoe> tomreyn: lol... seems quite obvious now
[18:07] <astraljava> tomreyn: 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.
[18:08] <astraljava> Or rather, /root, sorry.
[18:08] <astraljava> Because /boot/grub/grub.cfg is generated, modifying it by hand isn't an option, as it gets faulty again after the next kernel update.
[18:10] <astraljava> I 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.
[18:11] <astraljava> So I could try and install a newer .deb, but will not unless I get a confirmation it works on newer releases.
[18:40] <jdwwatts> i used rufus to install Xubuntu 20.10 along side windows on my new hp pavilion  lap top so far no issues
[19:49] <tomreyn> jdwwatts: there is an issue, though
[19:49] <tomreyn> !20.10
[19:49] <tomreyn> but you probably just meant 21.10
[20:11] <jdwwatts> lets check and see
[20:14] <jdwwatts> yesn thats right 21_10
