user|67hi, i tried installing kde neon on imac 2012 in hopes to revive it and I ran into a problem.00:16
user|67First, kde neon suddenly stops working, the system simply stands up tightly without the possibility of mouse movement.00:16
user|67Secondly, I try to boot again from the flash drive, but the mac does not go into the mode of selecting the boot device when the alt button is pressed, i have a magic keyboard i think it just doesn't turn on along with running imac00:16
user|67what can I try to do with the system freeze and how do I now boot from the flash drive?00:16
zoli62Hi!09:02
rioting_pacifist<user|67> "what can I try to do with the..." <- https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT20125509:03
zoli62I have a question about upgrade from 20.04.3 LTS point release to the latest 20.04.4 in the  command line: How can I upgrade to the latest Kubuntu LTS release released in February from the previous point release?09:05
valoriezoli62: for a full-upgrade, then sudo do-release-upgrade09:08
valorieif you are a bit behind you might have to run that more than once09:09
zoli62Is the apt dist-upgrade command not good for this?09:11
RikMillszoli62: no09:14
RikMillsoh, 20.04.3 -> 20.04.4?09:16
RikMillsif so, then yes09:16
zoli62RikMills Yes, that was my question, but apt dist-upgrade does not provide new upgradeable packages09:18
RikMillszoli62: if it says you are up to date, then you are on effectively on 22.04.4 already. there are not a load of new packages for it, just incremental updates since the last point release09:20
zoli62RikMills The same is true with the Muon package manager09:21
RikMillsin that case you are good09:21
RikMills22.04.4 is just a new ISO that incorporates all updates since 22.04.3. an installed system will get there by just keeping it up to date as normal09:22
zoli62RikMills When is the opportunity to upgrade to the latest LTS point release released on February 24?09:22
RikMillszoli62: there in't. just apply updates normally and you get there09:23
zoli62I know Ubuntu is always a little slippery in this regard.09:24
zoli62RikMills As if I remember a long time ago that it would be possible to upgrade to the previous point release after the next point release, right?09:28

IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> Hi, I'm going to buy a notebook and I'm thinking about doing a dualboot21:46
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> The notebook is an Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14"21:47
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> Intel® Core™ i5-1135G721:47
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> 8 GB DDR4 3200MHz21:47
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> 512 GB SSD21:47
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> It also has tactil panel21:47
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> Is a good idea?21:48
tomreyneliharriet: it's above the minimum requirements, so should work.22:01
tomreynas always, there can be some parts which do not work out of the box, or for which no driver is available at all22:02
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> Oh, thanks22:07
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> One last question, do you now if I'll be able to use the tactil panel on linux?22:07
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> Or it could be a problem/don't work?22:08
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> I was thinking about use it to take notes22:09
IrcsomeBot<Pixel> I would not expect any issues with the controlling of touchscreen. However common Linux issues with convertibles are with automatic screen rotating and keyboard disabling (when the screen is flipped). That may require some thinkering :) (re @eliharriet: Or it could be a problem/don't work?)22:21
IrcsomeBot<Pixel> My geek reflex would be to recommend you some of real Thinkpads - R or T or X series, which are traditionally having great Linux support (even having official Linux Certification from Lenovo) and very good build quality. But they are not convertibles of course (if that is an requirement)22:31
IrcsomeBot<eliharriet> Ahh ok thank you!22:39
