Mrokii Hello. How can I prevent Disocver from updating a certain package or at least prevent it to do automatic updates?09:16
alkisgMrokii: sudo apt-mark hold package09:58
Mrokiialkisg: Thanks, but I fear it is a bit more involved than that, as I wanted to prevent the Firefox-deb to be updated to a snap-version. I may have found a solution on askubuntu.com, but I'm not 100% sure yet.10:12
alkisgMrokii: for that, see my comment #16 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/196202110:13

BluesKajHi all12:13
Mrokiialkisg: Thanks for pointing me to the bug-report. Some interesting info there, I guess I know how to get rid of that stuff completely now. At least until theres's another, even more draconian approach coming in the next upgrades.13:59

IrcsomeBot<Oov> Hi19:31
arraybolt3[m]Oov: Hi!19:31
IrcsomeBot<Oov> How can i check kubuntu 22.04 file befor install it into a labtop19:32
arraybolt3[m]Oov: Hold on one moment...19:32
IrcsomeBot<Oov> Ok19:33
arraybolt3[m]There's a hard way to do it, but I'm making an easier way.19:35
IrcsomeBot<Oov> Ok that is better cuz im a noob19:37
arraybolt3[m]Oov: OK, here's where I put a pre-verified, known-good Sha256 hash for Kubuntu 22.04. https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/ubuntu-hashes/tree/main/kubuntu/22.0419:43
arraybolt3[m]Oov: In your file manager, go to wherever you put your Kubuntu 22.04 ISO file, then right click in an empty area and click "Open Terminal".19:44
arraybolt3[m]Oov: Then run "sha256sum ./<name of ISO file here>", replacing the placeholder with the name of the ISO file.19:44
arraybolt3[m]Oov: Finally, carefully compare the output with the contents of the file I put a link to, and if they match, your ISO is good.19:45
arraybolt3[m]Oov: Write it to your USB flash drive with Startup Disk Creator, which will automatically verify that the ISO file was properly written to the flash drive.19:45
IrcsomeBot<Oov> Ok thank u19:47
arraybolt3[m]Oov: Also, if you want to be really sure the hash is correct, also compare the file hash with this: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/22.04/release/SHA256SUMS19:48
arraybolt3[m]Both this file and the one on GitHub I linked to should be identical, and should contain the same hash as the one you get from sha256sum.19:48
IrcsomeBot<Oov> where should i download Sha256 hash in this web page (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: OK, here's where I put a pre-verified, known-good Sha256 hash for Kubuntu 22.04. https://github.com/ArrayBolt3/ubuntu-hashes/tree/main/kubuntu/22.04)19:51
arraybolt3[m]Oov: Click the "SHA256SUMS" file in there. It will display the contents of the file. That's all you need.19:52
IrcsomeBot<Oov> nothing to download? (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Click the "SHA256SUMS" file in there. It will display the contents of the file. That's all you need.)19:53
arraybolt3[m]Nothing to download. The weird-looking string at the beginning of the file is the hash. It's like an ID code that tells you whether or not a file has been changes. The sha256sum command should spit out a similar looking code, and if the file is good, the codes should be identical.19:54
IrcsomeBot<Oov> they are identical19:59
arraybolt3[m]Oov: Fantastic! Then your ISO file is good and you can write it to a USB drive and use it to install!20:00
IrcsomeBot<Oov> thank you so much (re @IrcsomeBot: <arraybolt3[m]> Oov: Fantastic! Then your ISO file is good and you can write it to a USB drive and use it to install!)20:01
arraybolt3[m]Oov: 👍20:02
IrcsomeBot<Oov> what should i do in BIOS mane ?20:02
arraybolt3[m]Oov: Try hitting Esc during very early boot and see if you can get to a boot menu. Once you do that, select the USB drive to boot from it.20:03
IrcsomeBot<Oov> ok20:04
IrcsomeBot<npeippo> I haven't read all of the previous messages, but if you have Windows, you can hold shift while pressing Restart. From there you can boot from USB20:10
