SquareCan Linux kernel version change for LTS releases? 05:33
SquareLike is there any chance we'll see linux 6.1 in 22.04 LTS? 05:34
daftykinsbefore release, sure they can change their mind - but usually there's a freeze date in the planning05:34
daftykinsdon't forget HWEs can enable newer kernels to be backported after LTS releases05:34
SquareHWE?05:34
daftykins!hwe05:34
ubottuThe Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack05:34
murmelSquare: specifically 6.1 won't very likely hit 22.04, but with the next release (22.04.2) we get 5.19 and then with 22.04.3 we should get something >6.105:35
Squarecool. Getting hyped about the Rust addition here. =D05:35
murmeloO, I mean you won't even "see" any difference05:35
SquareI know little about the inner workings of linux. Just think its cool Rust is being accepted as the 2nd language. Imagine great thinks could happen when we get Rust API's. 05:38
murmelSquare: https://github.com/torvalds/linux it's not the second language. still can't really grasp how so many people can fanfare a language. I mean the language is quite neat, but nothing new05:39
murmelSquare: ahh depending on your device, maybe using linux-oem _could_ also work. right now 6.0 is in testing phase05:42
Squaremurmel, I confess I can't assess the importance.  05:43
SquareI read this https://www.zdnet.com/article/rust-takes-a-major-step-forward-as-linuxs-second-official-language/05:43
SquareFor me languages are important. I love Haskell, but understand why it can't be used as a systems language. C/C++/GO all bore me cause of their dated/limited featuresets. Rust got a bunch of features i totally like. 05:45
Squaremurmel, ^05:45
murmelSquare: probably zdnet is not the best source for something like that, I quite like lwn, but it's paid (except you wait for a bit, till they go free)05:46
murmelSquare: don't get me wrong, I understand why Rust gets its fanfare (at least on paper) but the internet is "raving" way too much (plus they need to rewrite everything in rust)05:47
murmelbut at the same time I curse cargo :x05:48
Squareoh, its bad? My Rust knowledge is limited. I just went through the 94 exercise "Rustlings" course. And that's probably all i know so far. =D05:49
murmelSquare: try to compile a project, hf with the dependencies most projects have :(. the projects I use myself (but don't compile) have most of the time, quite the limited dependency list (most of the time somewhere around 20-30)05:50
murmelSquare: there is a reason why people call it cargocult ;)05:51
murmelas those dependencies can also pull in their own dependencies05:51
murmeland some pull in a project, just because they want to use only a very small *function*05:52
Squaremurmel, "hf"?`05:54
murmelSquare: have fun05:58
Squaremurmel, what happens when you do this? Slow? Memory greedy? Crash?05:59
murmelSquare: it's not about that. just think about it from a security standpoint. you pull in stuff where you don't know where it's coming from (who develops it etc) and I can guarantee you the dev won't verify that the dev (of dependency) is trustworthy etc06:02
murmelSquare: I can still remember somebody using a random docker container in production (business) where he had issues connecting to the server (ssh). just because noone vetted the container, where "by accident" a ssh server was running, so the dev of that software piece, could always connect to instances to see whats going on06:03
murmeljust to make it clear, linux stays far away from cargo (the package manager for rust)06:07
Squareah gotcha. Yeah, that doesn't sound great I guess.06:10

lotuspsychjearraybolt3: bug #199327815:52
-ubottu:#ubuntu-discuss- Bug 1993278 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "ZFS + Encryption crash after install" [Undecided, New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/199327815:52
arraybolt3[m]lotuspsychje: Thanks!17:09
lotuspsychjearraybolt3[m]: seems like ravage zfs bug on jammy, keeps on living on kinetic17:09
arraybolt3[m]What's weird is it was working painlessly enough on Xubuntu Core earlier in the cycle, so Idk what happened.17:12
lotuspsychjearraybolt3[m]: bug #1970066 was the first one17:14
-ubottu:#ubuntu-discuss- Bug 1970066 in snapd (Ubuntu Jammy) "(Encrypted) ZFS breaks 22.04 installation" [Critical, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/197006617:14
arraybolt3Good grief. That's a nightmare.17:14
* arraybolt3 hopes they just remove ZFS installation support entirely17:15
sarnold"It seems that the apt install triggers systemd to unmount every zfs mount because systemd mistakenly thinks the rpool key is not loaded" oowwwwwwwwwwww17:51
* ogra pets his ext4 disks17:57
tomreynnote when this (latter) bug report was filed, enhanced with well-reproducible steps, and what its current status, importance and assignment values are.18:03
ograwell, the snapd team is hiring i think ...18:07
lotuspsychjethere are a few roles open still :p18:08
ograshould get beter soon ...18:08
ogra*better18:08
lotuspsychjewhats gonna happen ogra 18:08
ogramore developers to look at bugs ...18:09
lotuspsychjeoh18:10
sarnolds/look at/write more/18:12
murmelarraybolt3: I believe canonical wants to remove zfs-on-root, as they almost didn't include zsys for 22.04, and the newer installer doesn't have that option anymore21:13
arraybolt3murmel: Yeah. It seems like a good idea to me at this point.21:25
arraybolt3And people who really need ZFS-on-root can just set it up manually, right?21:25
murmelyeah, definitely.21:26
murmelarraybolt3: oh, btw, if I want to edit a wiki page, I assume the changes are instantanious?21:28
murmelso there is no approval before its being shown?21:28
arraybolt3murmel: For all the pages I've edited, correct.21:28
murmelkk21:29
JanCogra: I'd rather have them hire people to improve APT/dpkg; most features of snap/flatpak could have been implemented as part of that...22:50
sarnoldwe did that to get to click packages22:51
sarnoldbut those weren't perfect, and mixing "frequent update" things along side "rarely update" things wasn't great22:51
JanCwe already get frequent APT updates, so I don't really see the difference  :)22:52
sarnoldyeah, but they don't do huge version lifts as a matter of course22:53
JanCbut APT can do that22:54
JanCit's matter of namespacing & such22:54
JanCand snapd is very far from perfect too  :P23:05
sarnoldamen23:07
murmelJanC: yeah, I still hope, we get a package manager to manage all (deb,flatpak,snap,maybe appimage). best case imho, implement it in apt23:18
JanCwhat I mean is implement the features in APT/dpkg/.deb, not add support for a zillion types of packages that are only different because people don't understand the existing package managers  :)23:20
murmelJanC: i did not dive too deep, but not sure how well that would work for all those container systems23:21
JanCwell, you don't need a different container systems for every developer who thinks they invented warm water  ;)23:22
