[00:00] nelgin: you're welcome [00:02] Hi where can you download old versions of ubuntu - but not https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ I first want to confirm that they are legit...? [00:02] rdz: nothing about the touchpad getting it to work after suspending? did you try the acpi_osi stuff? [00:03] sadsad, that is the only legit old release page [00:03] sadsad: the answer is https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [00:03] sadsad: that is the only official location of the completely unsupported releases of ubuntu [00:03] i hope they are legit .... [00:03] sadsad: they're literally on ubuntu.com, how much more "legit" do you want? [00:06] ok thank you'll check and make sure on the wayback machine [00:07] https://web.archive.org/web/20080212075840/old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [00:07] I hope i can trust the wayback machine :) [00:07] i have no idea what you are talking about [00:08] sadsad: I don't understand. You want official releases of ubuntu. How in the world would those not be from an ubuntu.com URL? What would you consider more legiy? [00:08] legit* [00:08] sadsad: also, why do you want end of life/completely unsupported releases of ubuntu? [00:09] i'm afraid there may be viruses in new releases.... [00:10] and what makes you think so? [00:10] by the way, like every ubuntu release, all of these are cryptographically signed [00:10] (if indirectly, their checksums are) [00:10] uh [00:10] very impressive keep it up! [00:11] sadsad: are you just trolling then? [00:11] sadsad: just install the latest LTS release. Do not install unsupported release. There is absolutely no reason you should believe there are viruses in any release of ubuntu. [00:12] ok [00:12] well i have to run [00:12] been a pleasure [00:13] EriC^^: re acpi_osi: yeah, I tried it with 'Windows 2015', but it didn't affect the touchpad thing [00:15] rdz: your bios is up to date, right? [00:16] rdz: just to be clear you used acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2015" ? [00:20] EriC^^: yeah, exactly [00:20] didn't test any other values referring to older Windows versions [00:22] the script wrote it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, but modern grub versions seem to use GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, so I copied it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [00:22] and I rebooted and verified with 'cat /proc/cmdline' that configuration was actually used [01:00] Hello, I am on a arm64 machine and trying to download for x86_64 but can not find how to do so... I thought there was a download page that allowed you to choose a different arch than the host machine? [01:01] rrdh: Trying to download what? An individual package? [01:01] heh [01:02] I couldn't tell if he was going for a package or an ISO. === alkisg_irc1 is now known as alkisg_irc [01:18] rrdh: if you mean isos for ubuntu try going to releases.ubuntu.com and choose the version you need from there [01:32] nm__: rrdh left a few seconds after asking [01:33] i see the ubuntu.com server download page has a decent "Alternative downloads" page [01:34] and the desktop download page is.. just terrible [01:34] i am now downloading an ISO and i do not have the words to explain that this is not what i wanted [01:36] i would in fact go so far as to call it hostile [01:37] -4.5 gigabytes- somebody might accidentally pull by visiting a web page [01:37] Habbie: There's alternative download links on the desktop download page? [01:37] no [01:37] And I'm not experiencing what you're mentioning. [01:37] Thank you for downloading Ubuntu Desktop [01:37] Your download should start automatically. [01:38] Habbie: Oh. I clicked a different button. [01:38] There are convenient direct download links there, but the actual desktop download *page* is https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop [01:38] The "Ubuntu Desktop >" link at the top takes you there. [01:38] i see it [01:39] for server, the green button still has the alternatives option [01:39] Hmm... yeah I can see how that's somewhat bad UX. [01:39] in fact the alternatives on "Ubuntu Desktop >" are bad too [01:39] (Funny thing, I remember being annoyed that I couldn't figure out how to download Server for a bit in the past :P) [01:40] but at least they don't accidentally ship 4.5 GB [01:40] Back when Multipass was what they advertised by default. [01:40] you mean the "Mac and Windows" link under Download -> Server :) [01:41] also there's something wrong with ubuntu.com where i often have to click a link twice before anything happens [01:41] Heh, sadly no I don't. There was a time where the green Get Ubuntu Server button showed you Multipass first and you had to figure out the right button to press to get the direct download link. [01:41] oh even worse [01:41] Habbie: yeah I hate those automatic downloads so much [01:41] i don't like hating on free things [01:42] but almost all of this is terrible [01:42] sarnold, that you agree means a lot to me :) [01:42] <3 :D [01:42] If it was at least consistent that would be nice :P [01:42] Habbie, i often just navigate cdimage.ubuntu.com & find what I want from there... no automatic downloads there (that i've noticed anyway) [01:42] Maybe we can poke some people to fix that, since that just seems wrong. [01:43] arraybolt3: any chance you've got the energy / motivation to file a bug report? :) [01:43] guiverc, yep! [01:43] i would be happy to +1/comment on a bug report [01:43] Energy and motivation, sure. Time... I'm fixing a critical regression in Lubuntu atm. [01:43] But I can try latter and ping you and Habbie. [01:43] *later [01:43] i'll be here :) [01:44] arraybolt3: heh, I'm familiar with that :) yeah your regression makes sense to focus on, this has been an annoyance for a while [01:44] arraybolt3: thanks :D [02:06] www.gmx.net [02:07] ? === noxt is now known as Noxturnix === chris14_ is now known as chris14 [03:43] Does anyone know more about the ubuntu docekr images? https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu Stupid quesion.. those images do not have a front end / gui do they? So are they the server version? [03:43] docekr\docker [03:44] its not [03:44] and they dont [03:44] I've never really thought of 'desktop docker' things .. [03:44] they're more likely 'cloud images' than 'server images' but that's the right spirit, yeah [03:47] sarnold: rbox: so its cli only [03:47] ? [03:47] yes [03:47] its docker [03:47] not a VM [03:47] I can't imagine anything else but I have to ask rather than assume [03:48] docker is for running 1 single application [03:48] uhh yeah.. I'm working on that too [03:49] Let me put it this way.. while I've never actually been to hell - I'm sure the experience is just like this (trying to get goig w/ docker) [03:49] not really.. joking [03:49] :) === shokohsc69 is now known as shokohsc6 [03:55] blahboybaz: if you need a "who system but as a container and not as a vm", maybe you want lxd instead of docker? I have to be honest I have no idea if it can do gui things either ;) but I think chromebook people use lxd to provide 'linux' systems.. [03:58] sarnold: I'm not looking for gui I just wanted to confirm that what I'm looking at did not contain additional bloat that I don't want. I know how stupid of a q it was but I've lwerned that with anything in computer science it's bettern not to assume anything [03:58] lwerned\learned [03:59] blahboybaz: ah in that case you might like to look around for the manifest, I think those are published nearby, showing the packages that are included [04:00] sarnold: like this? https://hub.docker.com/layers/library/ubuntu/focal-20230126/images/sha256-bffb6799d706144f263f4b91e1226745ffb5643ea0ea89c2f709208e8d70c999?context=explore [04:00] that's a mainifest? [04:01] blahboybaz: I don't know my way around docker hub, I was thikning more like this: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/jammy/current/jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk-kvm.manifest [04:02] ok === shokohsc64 is now known as shokohsc6 === Vercas3 is now known as Vercas === VlA is now known as VIA [06:16]
