| BinarySavior | Hi for setting up a service on a subdomain that exists on a separate server from the host that serves the root domain, I am required to use CORS | 00:24 |
|---|---|---|
| BinarySavior | according to these docs, i need to set the access-control-allow-origin header to * | 00:24 |
| BinarySavior | doesn't that pose security concerns? is there a better way to do this? | 00:24 |
| BinarySavior | https://github.com/SourceRT/dock-matrix/blob/master/docs/configuring-well-known.md | 00:24 |
| mason | BinarySavior: That's potentially better-asked in #ubuntu-server. | 00:26 |
| mason | I'm not familiar with CORS myself. | 00:26 |
| leftyfb | BinarySavior: just point the subdomain to the ip of the separate server | 00:27 |
| oerheks | there *are* concerns.. https://www.pivotpointsecurity.com/blog/cross-origin-resource-sharing-security/ | 00:28 |
| BinarySavior | leftyfb, i did that, the service is matrix and it requires the root domain to verify with a .well-known json | 00:31 |
| leftyfb | BinarySavior: Sorry, I'm not familiar with either of those scenarios. Regardless, your question isn't really related to ubuntu and is a general technology/service/design question | 00:33 |
| Sven_vB | hi :) | 00:37 |
| Sven_vB | Seems like lots of cheap USB ethernet adapters are "Kontron DM9601 USB Ethernet Adapter" under the hood, and they all have MAC 00:e0:4c:53:44:58 albeit I sourced them from different vendors. I found a tutorial on how to deal with them on https://karser.dev/same-mac-kontron-dm9601/ ; maybe we should include a fix in Ubuntu by default, what do you think? | 00:37 |
| octav1a | yerf | 00:37 |
| Eickmeyer | Sven_vB: Seems as though that requires knowing the MAC address for each one, so that's not something that can be done with a blanket setting. I was going to tell you to file a bug report, but it's too device-specific. | 00:42 |
| Eickmeyer | Oh wait, they share the same mac address. | 00:43 |
| Eickmeyer | That's a security nightmare either way. | 00:43 |
| Sven_vB | what do you mean by security nightmare? | 00:44 |
| Eickmeyer | Two identical mac addresses on the same network is a no-no. | 00:44 |
| Sven_vB | yes, even more it's a routing problem with my hub apparently | 00:45 |
| Eickmeyer | Exactly. It's asking for packet collisions and misrouting. | 00:45 |
| Sven_vB | the tutorial assigns new MACs based on USB path, I'll probably randomize the last 3 bytes so it works even if the USB numbers happen to match up accross hosts | 00:45 |
| semitones | i made the mistake of thinking i had more disk space than I had, and now I have to clear a bunch of stuff to finish apt upgrading | 00:45 |
| semitones | is it safe to delete /var/log/journal contents? | 00:46 |
| Eickmeyer | Sven_vB: Either way, that's not something that can be done by default in Ubuntu. | 00:46 |
| Sven_vB | Eickmeyer, an official fix would probably need its own legitimately registered MAC pool to pull from. is that the obstacle? | 00:47 |
| Ravage | semitones: try to edit /etc/systemd/journald.conf and set SystemMaxUse=100M or so | 00:47 |
| Eickmeyer | Sven_vB: Yes, very much so. | 00:47 |
| Ravage | and restart the service | 00:47 |
| semitones | the 3 big places I could delete are: /var/log/journal, the old kernels, and /var/cache/apt/archives | 00:47 |
| Ravage | that will clean up the logs ins a safe way | 00:47 |
| semitones | thanks for the advice | 00:47 |
| Eickmeyer | Sven_vB: I'd recommend talking about this sort of thing in #networking . They'd have more insight. | 00:47 |
| Ravage | and /var/cache/apt/archives is safe to clean | 00:47 |
| Sven_vB | Eickmeyer, OTOH, there are privacy options to randomize MAC in WiFi. can't we use that? | 00:48 |
| Sven_vB | good idea, maybe I'll do that another time. for now I'm ok with my rogue hack I guess. | 00:49 |
| webchat76 | hello I am a seedbox operator, 18.04.6-desktop-amd64's torrent is reporting that the tracker is blocking the requested download . I still see it as the latest torrent to seed via https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads . issues at the tracker or is a release pending? | 00:49 |
| semitones | Ravage, what is the service called? I tried journal and journald | 00:49 |
| Ravage | systemd-journald | 00:50 |
| semitones | thanks! | 00:50 |
| Eickmeyer | Sven_vB: FYI, Wifi MAC randomizations are part of the spec. Wired ethernet typically has the MAC address hard-coded in the firmware of the interface. | 00:50 |
| Sven_vB | oh I see. thanks for that hint. | 00:51 |
| Eickmeyer | webchat76: Are you talking about the mini.iso? | 00:51 |
| Ravage | i think he is talking about https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent | 00:52 |
| Eickmeyer | webchat76: Nvm. | 00:52 |
| semitones | Can I remove the lib/modules/oldkernel/drivers folder before doing sudo apt --fix-broken-install | 00:52 |
| webchat76 | Eickmeyer ubuntu-18.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso | 00:52 |
| semitones | or will that cause problems too | 00:52 |
| Eickmeyer | webchat76: The link is there for me. Try refreshing your torrent with the .torrent file provided. | 00:52 |
| spammy | every once in a while my desktop on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS malfunctions and when I login it acts like I'm logging in and then I'm back to a login screen again. What are some troubleshooting steps I can take here? | 00:52 |
| webchat76 | Eickmeyer I pulled the latest torrent file via https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent and my client accepted it, but no change in trackers | 00:53 |
| Eickmeyer | webchat76: Your main source of truth is here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ | 00:53 |
| Eickmeyer | webchat76: Otherwise, I'm afraid nobody in here is going to have an answer to your questions as nobody in here maintains those. | 00:54 |
| webchat76 | Nobody here maintains https://torrent.ubuntu.com/announce ? can you point me in the direction of who may it looks like an issue at the tracker | 00:54 |
| Eickmeyer | Nope, that's not done here. That's done by Canonical, and they're all off for the weekend. Sorry. | 00:54 |
| webchat76 | ooooo | 00:54 |
| webchat76 | Eickmeyer understandable, it's probably transient. I will report back monday if the tracker is still down. the issue is anyone pulling that torrent wont get the file. Other Ubuntu torrents are reporting to tracker A OK. I am always seeding out ubuntu stuff | 00:55 |
| Eickmeyer | This chat is manned by volunteers, webchat76. | 00:55 |
| webchat76 | @eck | 00:55 |
| webchat76 | whoops | 00:55 |
| webchat76 | Eickmeyer I totally understand, was starting here to figure out who / where I might need to report it | 00:55 |
| semitones | thanks for seeding webchat76 :) | 00:55 |
| Eickmeyer | Volunteers aren't going to have access to the infrastructure, webchat76. | 00:56 |
| Eickmeyer | It'll probably resolve itself by Monday, webchat76. | 00:56 |
| webchat76 | Eickmeyer makes sense. Like I said I figured I'd start in IRC tho | 00:56 |
| webchat76 | I agree | 00:56 |
| webchat76 | anyway thanks for the help. I'll keep an eye on it and hope it just bounces back | 00:57 |
| leftyfb | semitones: using rm on system files and directories is usually never the correct answer | 00:58 |
| leftyfb | semitones: once you resolve your issue you should reinstall the kernels you manually deleted and remove them properly with apt | 00:59 |
| leftyfb | semitones: how big of a partition are we talking about ? | 00:59 |
| semitones | i know :/ but I cannot apt autoremove. I did -fix-broken, and hopefully there is enough disk space to complete that now that the journals are mostly deleted. Then I can remove the kernels. I can't remove them now because apt is broken | 00:59 |
| semitones | leftyfb, 11 GB | 00:59 |
| semitones | well | 00:59 |
| semitones | 10.9 :/ | 01:00 |
| leftyfb | That should be plenty of space. You filled it up with other things | 01:00 |
| semitones | this is with ubuntu studio but honestly I should figure out how to uninstall those programs because it is not safe having it this full | 01:01 |
| leftyfb | semitones: you should after removing kernels and shrinking your journal you should have enough space to remove packages one at a time | 01:01 |
| semitones | i didn't have to rm the kernels, glad I didn't have to | 01:01 |
| leftyfb | semitones: can you install and use ncdu? | 01:01 |
| semitones | hold on, apt autoremoving | 01:02 |
| semitones | ok now I have 1.5 G available. looking up ncdu | 01:02 |
| semitones | it is already installed but idk how to use it | 01:03 |
| Ravage | sudo ncdu -x / | 01:03 |
| leftyfb | that should tell you where most of your space is being taken up | 01:04 |
| leftyfb | I’m guessing most of it is in your home | 01:04 |
| semitones | i'm in a file browser in the terminal. THere is a gui that does this | 01:05 |
| semitones | i have 5.8 GB in usr 2.6 in lib, 1.3 in var, and the rest is less | 01:05 |
| Ravage | yes ubuntu comes with a gui tool for that | 01:06 |
| semitones | 216 mb in home | 01:06 |
| Ravage | i still prefer the terminal | 01:06 |
| semitones | in ncdu i'm stuck in the home folder i guess i forgot to type the / | 01:07 |
| Ravage | maybe ubuntu studio just comes with a lot of stuff | 01:07 |
| Ravage | i never used it | 01:07 |
| semitones | ok i got it now | 01:07 |
| === yang_qwq1 is now known as yang_qwq | ||
| semitones | yeah I guess so | 01:07 |
| semitones | if you're curious Ravage here is the output https://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 01:08 |
| semitones | uh | 01:08 |
| semitones | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WTsKrkd4HG/ | 01:08 |
| Ravage | you can check the subfolders but i dont think you will find a lot you can just delete | 01:09 |
| Eickmeyer | semitones: Ubuntu Studio leader here. What are you trying to remove? Non-audio stuff? | 01:09 |
| leftyfb | semitones: drill down to /usr my guess is you have multiple kernels and their related files installed and should work on cleaning up older kernels | 01:11 |
| leftyfb | Also, running Ubuntu studio on only 11gb? | 01:11 |
| Eickmeyer | Ooof, yeah, that's way too small for Studio. | 01:11 |
| semitones | yeah, now I know. I think i installed it in 2016 | 01:11 |
| semitones | I ended up not using any of the studio things on this device | 01:12 |
| leftyfb | semitones: ah, so you’re running an EOL release and need to upgrade anyway | 01:12 |
| semitones | i'm upgraded | 01:12 |
| Eickmeyer | leftyfb: Don't be so quick to assume. ;) | 01:12 |
| leftyfb | semitones: not if you installed it in 2016 | 01:12 |
| semitones | it was tricky but this channel helped upgrade to 20.04 awhile ago, and i had barely enough space | 01:12 |
| semitones | I had to remove all the snap stuff and some other things | 01:12 |
| leftyfb | ugh | 01:12 |
| leftyfb | All this work for an 11g install | 01:13 |
| semitones | it is on a microsoft surface so I'm not confident I can get it working if I reinstall :/ | 01:13 |
| semitones | it was a headache with all the uefi and secure boot and custom kernel | 01:13 |
| * leftyfb taps out | 01:13 | |
| semitones | that's probably smart, i'll just look around in synaptic and remove things | 01:13 |
| Eickmeyer | semitones: Another thing that might help is if you go through each of the ubuntustudio-* metapackages and find their dependencies/recommends and remove each one one-by-one via synaptic. | 01:15 |
| Eickmeyer | semitones: For instance, ubuntustudio-graphics: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntustudio-graphics | 01:15 |
| semitones | thanks, I'll start there | 01:16 |
| Eickmeyer | semitones: I wish it were as simple as, for example, "sudo apt autoremove ubuntustudio-graphics" but it wasn't installed via a metapackage but rather the germinate seed. | 01:16 |
| Eickmeyer | In the future, I might make a script that removes stuff based on the contents of the metapackages, but for now, this is what we've got. :) | 01:17 |
| semitones | I appreciate the support, this is definitely a good way out of this problem of my own making :) | 01:17 |
| Eickmeyer | semitones: And I'd seriously consider repartitioning that drive to get more than 11GB. :) | 01:18 |
| === Guest2310 is now known as krabador | ||
| sarnold | oof, 11gb filesystem? that'll be tight.. | 01:18 |
| semitones | I'll see what I can do | 01:18 |
| Eickmeyer | sarnold: Especially for Studio. ;) | 01:19 |
| sarnold | if you can install anything :) then the orphaner tool may help | 01:19 |
| semitones | checking it out | 01:19 |
| sarnold | if you've got any snaps installed on that filesystem, it might be worth trying to figure out how to keep fewer snaps installed, too | 01:19 |
| sarnold | snapd by default keeps two or three copies of everything so it can roll back bad updates | 01:20 |
| semitones | i think we removed all the snaps last time | 01:25 |
| sarnold | hah | 01:28 |
| semitones | Eickmeyer, removing the papirus icons is helping | 01:30 |
| leftyfb | I can’t imagine icons take up much space | 01:33 |
| semitones | 200+ mb | 01:35 |
| semitones | i found a good one: remove the fluid synth, and it removes a lot of things | 01:35 |
| semitones | i don't really need libreoffice | 01:36 |
| semitones | i'm making progress, but the biggest area I don't understand is 1.3 GB: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu | 01:38 |
| leftyfb | Those are files related to your kernel(s) | 01:40 |
| leftyfb | DO NOT delete those with rm | 01:40 |
| sarnold | yeah don't delete those manually; purge packages you don't use, if you want to clean that up a bit, but do *not* treat that directory as one big homogenous entity | 01:41 |
| leftyfb | semitones: drill down, are there more than 1 kernel directories ? | 01:41 |
| sarnold | (btw those are libraries, not kernels) | 01:42 |
| semitones | good advice let me look what has remained | 01:42 |
| leftyfb | You can purge kernels you aren’t using, but if there’s only 1 kernel, I wouldn’t touch anything in that directory | 01:42 |
| semitones | i kept 2 kernels for posterity, but removed the lowlatency kernels | 01:42 |
| leftyfb | sarnold: I said files related to the kernels | 01:42 |
| semitones | nothing relating to the kernels stands out. I think I can probably remove JACK though | 01:44 |
| semitones | that also removes a LOT of packages | 01:45 |
| semitones | leftyfb, what files would I be looking for? I don't see much about the kernels in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu | 01:46 |
| leftyfb | semitones: from what I understand, studio uses Jack for sound as opposed to pulse audio. If you don’t have pulse installed, removing Jack will remove your sound capabilities | 01:46 |
| semitones | can i just apt install pulseaudio | 01:47 |
| leftyfb | You can, but over never known pulse to be that easy to get running from a system that didn’t have it already | 01:48 |
| semitones | hmm maybe I will leave jack alone for the time being | 01:48 |
| semitones | can I uninstall gcc? I don't have an nvidia gfx card, so I don't think I need to compile any dkms modules | 01:50 |
| sarnold | yeah, probably; most people don't need it; be sure to keep going, delete eg gcc-10 or gcc-9 or whatever other packages you've got installed; maybe you've got some -dev packages installed that don't need, too; dpkg -l '*-dev' | grep '^ii' might be useful, too | 01:52 |
| semitones | if I removed libreoffice already, can i delete /var/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreoffice | 01:52 |
| semitones | that's a good idea with the -dev | 01:52 |
| semitones | i've started sorting by "installed" with synaptic | 01:52 |
| sarnold | try dpkg -S /var/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreoffice -- that might show packages that own files there | 01:52 |
| semitones | there are some things that depend on some of gcc that seem important, like acpi stuff | 01:54 |
| sarnold | hmm | 01:54 |
| sarnold | pastebin what you see? | 01:54 |
| semitones | sure | 01:54 |
| semitones | specifically gcc-10-base | 01:55 |
| Eickmeyer | leftyfb: That's false, it uses Pulseaudio by default, and Jack on demand using Studio Controls to do the configuring. | 01:56 |
| Eickmeyer | semitones: ^ | 01:56 |
| semitones | so it is ok to remove jack? | 01:56 |
| Eickmeyer | semitones: If you don't do professional audio work, sure. But it's so small it's negligible. | 01:57 |
| Eickmeyer | Wouldn't help your cause. | 01:57 |
| semitones | Eickmeyer, ok | 01:57 |
| * Eickmeyer is out for the evening | 01:57 | |
| sarnold | semitones: probably best to leave gcc-10-base alone -- it looks like it owns just a few files and none of them are large, but it's a dependency on something that looks like it ought to stick around | 01:58 |
| semitones | thanks :) | 01:59 |
| semitones | ok, yeah, it's doing different things in apt than it was in synaptic, but none of them good so I'll leave it alone | 01:59 |
| semitones | someday I'm going to need to give ubuntu studio a disk all to itself | 02:05 |
| semitones | and buy a usb-interface | 02:05 |
| semitones | I think i have removed almost as much as possible this time; I have about 4.1 GB available, according to df -h | 02:09 |
| sarnold | nice | 02:09 |
| sarnold | now bust out orphaner | 02:09 |

| semitones | Ok | 02:35 |
| semitones | Something I did messed up update-grub and I don't have any Ubuntu boot options any more | 02:36 |
| semitones | So I'm researching how to boot without a boot entry, but maybe at this point it's best to call it a night | 02:36 |
| sarnold | ouch :/ | 02:36 |
| sarnold | there's handy logs in /var/log/apt/ and /var/log/dkpg.log -- the dpkg ones are way harder to read but cover more operations | 02:37 |
| sarnold | they may help you figure out what was too important to delete | 02:37 |
| leftyfb | I’m guessing some kernel or initrd got deleted | 02:39 |
| semitones | something pulled in ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings | 02:40 |
| semitones | that broke update grub, and I thouught i fixed it by rm /etc/grub.d/09_lowlatency | 02:40 |
| semitones | but when i ran update-grub again it 'succeeded' but i didn't realize it didn't find any ubuntu kernels... | 02:41 |
| semitones | can't remember the name of my root partition it is one of those /dev/nm020x things not a sensible one | 02:57 |
| semitones | but! luckily i have a boot entry that doesn't work any more, but it DOES have the uuid string for the correct partition | 02:59 |
| semitones | so I just have to copy it letter by letter | 02:59 |
| semitones | do uuids tab-complete? | 03:00 |
| MinusOne | semitones, tab completion is contextual. The easiest way to find out is by pressing tab. And you could copy/paste | 03:03 |
| semitones | i don't know how to copy/paste in grub | 03:04 |
| semitones | WHOOHOO i'm in the mainframe | 03:08 |
| semitones | update-grub is still not pulling in any linux kernels :( | 03:11 |
| semitones | hmm | 03:14 |
| semitones | for some reason /etc/grub.d/10_linux is not marked as executable | 03:15 |
| semitones | chmod +x | 03:15 |
| semitones | phew | 03:15 |
| semitones | that fixed it. I am not sure what I could have done that would have messed that up | 03:15 |

| JoeBk | guiverc, I was able to get 20.04.4 to install after I cleared the drive. I don't know is there is a problem or not. | 06:07 |

| webchat92 | My ubuntu laptop shuts down on its own sometimes and shows the dimming light on force restarting any idea? | 08:04 |
| JoeBk_ | webchat92, Is battry run down? | 08:06 |
| webchat92 | yes the battery is in fault actually | 08:06 |
| webchat92 | it is slow on charging and capacity of battery has been affected somehow ... could that be causing issue | 08:07 |
| webchat92 | on bootup also laptop shows this warning to replace battery | 08:07 |
| JoeBk_ | It sounds like the battery is causing the problem. | 08:08 |
| === JoeBk_ is now known as JoeBk | ||
| webchat92 | but what if I use the laptop without the battery, directly connecting it to the power adapter | 08:09 |
| webchat92 | In this as well, I can see the issue | 08:10 |
| webchat925 | yes webchat92, I also have similar problem | 08:13 |

| dojo | where is a reliable source to find hashes for my ubuntu desktop iso files? I have found this "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes" but i normally would head to "https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop", unfortunately i cant find any hashes in the second location (whether via link from that page or lower down the page-any suggestions) | 11:29 |
| dojo | https://ibb.co/Ks3GwDw | 11:32 |
| tomreyn | https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu#1-overview | 11:32 |
| dojo | i know how to do it but i'd like to know a trustworthy place to get the hashes from | 11:33 |
| tomreyn | why do you need that, when they are signed? | 11:33 |
| tomreyn | and how is https://releases.ubuntu.com/ not trustworthy? | 11:34 |
| dojo | can you explain that please? i wasn't aware they (iso, img from those sites were signed) and ive been having trouble getting a usb with iso flashed to it to work like normal (for a fresh install) | 11:45 |
| dojo | since i was having trouble gettng the usb to boot successfully i thought it'd be a good idea to check the md5sum | 11:46 |
| tomreyn | dojo: the iso's are not signed, but the checksum files over them are | 11:47 |
| dojo | i dont normally but am at the end of ideas on how to get the flashed iso to work have tried different ports and usb devices-no luck so far, only thing i can think of is the integrity of the image iso. thanks for the info | 11:48 |
| tomreyn | dojo: the tutorial i linked to explains how you can download SHA256SUM (checksums) and SHA256SUM.gpg (cryptographic signature over SHA256SUM) files from the release mirrors and use the gpg software to authenticate the checksum files | 11:49 |
| dojo | stubborn me soz =(, i will read it and thanks for your help | 11:50 |
| dojo | reboot time ciao for now | 11:50 |
| dojo | and cheers | 11:50 |
| tomreyn | when you *both* verify the checksum of the download and use a software such as balena etcher (as shown on the tutorial), which will verify the data was properly written to the install media (usb stick?), you should be a in a good position to make an installation. note that the installer itself does also run a self-test on some files while it boots. | 11:52 |

| Guest39 | do i need a swap as i am using 32GB RAM? | 17:38 |
| leftyfb | Guest39: no | 17:39 |
| Guest39 | so i don't need a like a swap partition or file or anything? | 17:39 |
| leftyfb | Guest39: unless you're running a server where you know you'll be running some really memory-intensive application(s) and your swap space on is some reason fast SSD. In which case, you probably wouldn't be asking this question. | 17:40 |
| Guest39 | oh no yeah i just want to browse and stuff | 17:41 |
| Guest39 | thanks | 17:41 |
| leftyfb | Guest39: them 32G is overkill and years of headroom | 17:41 |
| Guest39 | i might want to like install steam or smth | 17:41 |
| Guest39 | should i take out some RAM or is it okay to keep it all in there? | 17:42 |

| ghost | I have a folder with thousands of files, is there a way to save the thumbnails generated. Everytime I open the folder it has to load the thumbnailsb | 17:43 |
| leftyfb | ghost: can you better describe your issue? You're asking if there is a way to save the thumbnails that are generated (yes, don't delete them) but then are complaining that "it has to load the thumbnails" | 17:45 |
| ghost | So, every time I open the folder the files show blank and it takes roughly 50m to generate all the thumbnails. If I close the folder and reopen it the thumbnails are gone and it starts regenerating | 17:48 |
| ghost | Is there a way to have the filesystem (nautilus) rember the thumbnails cache | 17:49 |

| lotuspsychje | plujon: not sure myself, i dont use hotkeys too much | 18:31 |
| plujon | a.k.a. /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-side-e | 18:31 |
| lotuspsychje | plujon: i found a nice workspaces indicator that serves all my needs gui | 18:31 |
| plujon | These values look a lot like the ones in Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts | 18:33 |
| plujon | AFAICT, there is no option to move a window left or right without resizing it. | 18:33 |

| leftyfb | the instructions seem to imply that is normal and part of the process | 21:59 |
| GreasyHairyNewb | leftyfb I have been using the exact guide. After that part of the tutorial it tells me I can print the database as so https://pastebin.com/L5wYGUKp | 22:02 |

| enigma9o7[m] | https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal-backports/allpackages has cockpit! | 22:22 |
| MiguelX413 | enigma9o7[m]: not as new as i need it | 22:24 |
| leftyfb | !latest | MiguelX413 | 22:24 |
| ubottu | MiguelX413: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 22:24 |
| MiguelX413 | should i just install the impish .deb for ffmpeg for now? | 22:24 |
| leftyfb | That is not recommended | 22:24 |
| leftyfb | Did you check for a snap? | 22:24 |
| MiguelX413 | leftyfb: i'm not looking for latest, im looking for a version that came out in mid 2020 | 22:25 |
| MiguelX413 | focal has 4.2.4, and i need 4.3.2+ | 22:26 |
| tomreyn | there are 4.3.1 and a 4.4.1 nightly as snap | 22:26 |
| MiguelX413 | hmmmmmmmmmmmm | 22:27 |
| MiguelX413 | i wonder if it'd work well with my application | 22:27 |
| MiguelX413 | tfw debian stable actually has a newer version of ffmpeg | 22:28 |
| enigma9o7[m] | Well that kinda makes sense doesn't it. Ubuntu LTS was 2020-04. Debian STable was 2021-09 I think | 22:28 |
| MiguelX413 | that makes sense actually yeah | 22:29 |
| tomreyn | there are also PPAs providing newer versions for 20.04 | 22:30 |
| MiguelX413 | tomreyn: ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg4? | 22:32 |
| tomreyn | MiguelX413: i don't remember which ones, just noticed there are some with recent builds on a quick glance. | 22:33 |
| enigma9o7[m] | Also in a couple months there will be a new Ubuntu LTS which will surely have much newer stuff than the current LTS too... | 22:34 |
