lotuspsychjeyou guys got some cases/tricks where you can LTS upgrade to the next release but only on the last point release, like 20.04==>22.04.5 for example?12:28
ahasenackthat should be the case, the point release is just a tag for the iso image12:30
ahasenackthe archive is always moving12:30
ahasenackand the do-release-upgrade tool will always update to the latest available packages in the archive for that release12:31
lotuspsychjeahasenack: im asking because i had some customer call doing an early 20.04==>22.04.1 and resulted in some bad bugs12:32
lotuspsychjeso a last point release so it doesnt get eol would be nice12:33
sdeziellotuspsychje: 22.04.1 is the latest point release currently available for 22.0412:34
lotuspsychjeoh12:34
sdeziel22.04.2 is planned for Feb 202312:35
lotuspsychjeyeah but i mean what if i only want an LTS upgrade on 22.04.2?12:35
sdeziellotuspsychje: the way it works is that LTS users get proposed about LTS+1 when LTS+1 gets its first point release (.1). Users are free to wait for the second point release to be available before doing the jump12:37
ahasenackI don't think you can configure do-release-upgrade to filter on point releases of the target12:37
ahasenackit's what sdeziel said, but after .1 is released, then do-release-upgrade will do the upgrade if asked12:37
lotuspsychjeok tnx12:38
lotuspsychjei also dont wanna disable lts upgrades on my customers12:38
lotuspsychjeso i was wondering if some trick existed12:39
sdeziellotuspsychje: which bugs have they hit?12:43
fricklerthe usual "trick" would be to have a local mirror of upstream repos, then you can snapshot 22.04.1 when it is released and have consistent upgrades. aptly ftw.12:49
lotuspsychjesdeziel: the customer in question, was a desktop (laptop) resulted in an intel flickering bug on 5.15 and fixed from 5.17, FF snap update does not yet support belgian EID card reader, so i had to install chrome temporary and cheese is still borked on 22.04 aswell13:13
lotuspsychjesdeziel: so in a bit more time (point releases) those might be fixed13:13
sdeziellotuspsychje: that's unfortunate.. As for alternatives for Firefox, I quite like chromium which is one `snap install chromium` away ;)13:17
lotuspsychjei think chromium was also a part of that bug sdeziel 13:17
sdezieldunno if Chromium's snap support the belgian EID card reader ... maybe it's a snap limitation/issue?13:17

lotuspsychjeyeah it is13:18
lotuspsychjethey working on it for sure13:18
sdezielgood, at least there is something to track13:18
lotuspsychjeyeah its all known bugs, but not so good for my customers13:19

sdezielI subscribed to those likely to affect me, thanks!13:25
lotuspsychjenp sdeziel 13:25
lotuspsychjewould be nice to have an LTS upgrade feature for extreme paranoia admins lol13:26
kanashiro[m]ahasenack: I have an initial version of the pcs MIR bug, could you take a look? LP #1953341 14:35
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1953341 in pcs (Ubuntu) "[MIR] make pcs the default management tool for Corosync/Pacemaker clusters" [Undecided, New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/195334114:35
ahasenackkanashiro[m]: will do (after lunch)15:01
kanashiro[m]ahasenack: FWIW I am already starting to work on the MIR template for the ruby dependencies needed18:17
ahasenackok18:17
kanashiro[m]ahasenack: ruby-open4 which is one of the dependencies seems dead upstream (no activity since 2013): https://github.com/ahoward/open4 19:17
ahasenacknot a good mir candidate :/19:18
kanashiro[m]meh, this is a good start..19:19
kanashiro[m]ahasenack: do you think it is worth to write a patch to depend on something else instead of ruby-open4?19:58
ahasenackotp20:09

ahasenackkanashiro[m]: would that be simple?22:14
ahasenackassuming there is another popen-like ruby module out there22:15
ahasenackmaybe file a bug with upstream, see what they think. But just "nothing new since 2014" might not be enough of a reason22:15
sarnold"oh good that means it's perfect" :)22:17
sarnoldI thought ruby had popen baked into the kernel's open() function: https://apidock.com/ruby/Kernel/open22:18
kanashiro[m]ahasenack: I could try to move to posix-spawn or childprocess gems, and of course this would be submitted upstream 22:18
ahasenackkanashiro[m]: maybe keep that as an option, but don't work on it yet22:19
kanashiro[m]I will start filling a bug as you mentioned to see what they think 22:19
ahasenackis it used in a lot of places?22:19
ahasenackthe code from that module, I mean22:19
ahasenack(just looking for a quick grep, not a deep analysis)22:20
kanashiro[m]Not in many places22:51
