xu-irc56wHi all... I noticed while using the xfce version of LM that AppImages display various icons for the apps... but Xubuntu 22.04 uses a grey gear. Is there a chance this might change to different icons for a future version of Xubuntu?01:12

xu-help18wNew to Xubuntu have got it up and running, configured the way I like it for now. Before I go to far want to learn how to backup/clone what I have done.13:49
AMPedI'm trying to update sqlite3 to the latest version. `sudo apt upgrade sqlite3` tells me I'm already on the "latest" version, 3.31.1-4ubuntu0.5, but I know 3.43 is out. How do I get that?18:06
tomreyn!latest | AMPed 18:08
ubottuAMPed: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.18:08
tomreynmost of the time you also don't actually *need* the very latest version of something.18:09
tomreynso my question would be: why do you *need* sqlite version 3.4318:10
AMPedtomreyn: I'm trying something that requires, at least, 3.35. I can go that low, but I have the same problem.18:11
tomreynare you building software?18:11
tomreynmaybe you want to build slqite3 yourself from source18:12
AMPedI'm trying to run privateGPT, which uses Chroma18:13
AMPedand get the error: "RuntimeError: Your system has an unsupported version of sqlite3. Chroma requires sqlite3 >= 3.35.0."18:13
tomreynactually, if Xubuntu provides you with 3.31.1-4ubuntu0.5 that means you're on Xubuntu 20.04, which should be EOL.18:13
tomreynhttps://packages.ubuntu.com/search?exact=1&keywords=sqlite318:14
AMPedYou are, in fact, correct. Time to upgrade the system. (Anxiety increases.)18:15
tomreynno need for anxiety if you have backups18:15
AMPedtomreyn: you *say* that, but I've hosed installs and upgrades to the point where, even though I have data backed up, I can't *do* anything with it until I un-fsck my host. But that's, as they say, a "me" problem.18:17
tomreynhmm, sorry to hear that. i can't think of how you'd run into a situation where you could not reinstall and restore backups18:18
tomreyni mean, unless the backups were bad or incomplete18:19
AMPedADHD. I used to scoff at the diagnosis. I can mess up very simple things, sometimes. But thanks for the info, I will make a backup and possibly have a weekend project ahead of me.18:19
tomreynoh i see, sorry, i really failed to think of such18:20
AMPedLike I say, a "me" problem.18:21
AMPedBut one question I do have, come to think of it: is there an automatic way to let the system know what tools and packages you have installed since the last system upgrade, so I don't have to install PostgreSQL or Emacs afterward?18:22
AMPedEvery time I upgrade, for days or weeks afterward, I run into that situation. I only backup $HOME, but perhaps I should backup something else as well?18:23
xanguaAMPed: a separate /home partition could help18:31
tomreynI was going to point them to this command which tries to guess what you manually installed. But they left, got called away.18:37
Eickmeyertomreyn: apt-mark showmanual19:32
tomreynyes, that's close, but not perfect19:33
EickmeyerRight, because it'll also show stuff they accidentally "apt install"-ed which sets it to manual.19:35
tomreynhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/2389/how-to-list-manually-installed-packages#answers19:38
tomreyn...as well as packages initially installed (and marked as manual) by the installer19:39
tomreyni'm not sure whether /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz still exists on ubuntu flavors, though19:40
EickmeyerIt does.19:41
Eickmeyertomreyn: All flavors are Ubuntu. They're not separate distros.19:42
EickmeyerMerely a different out of box experience.19:42
tomreynEickmeyer: i'm aware of this. some use different installers, though, right? and i don't know if some of these installers create this file and others don't.19:43
EickmeyerThe only one that's different is  Calamares in Lubuntu and Ubuntu Studio ( 22.04-23.04), but that doesn't matter because initial-status.gz is there regardless.19:44
tomreynhow about server?19:44
* Eickmeyer checks19:44
tomreynand how about the new ubuntu desktop installer ;)19:44
tomreyni don't mean to make a task list for you ;)19:44
EickmeyerNew desktop installer is merely subiquity which is same as server.19:45
tomreyni see, i was thinking it is like a wrapper around suibiquity19:45
Eickmeyerinitial-status.gz does not appear to be there for server, so presumably not for anything installed using subiquity.19:45
Eickmeyertomreyn: Yes, it's a wrapper.19:45
EickmeyerIn other words, one can kiss initial-status.gz goodbye in the future.19:46
tomreynso for curent ubuntu desktop and server people should just run "apt-mark showmanual"19:46
EickmeyerThat's probably most sane, yes.19:46
tomreyn(and then strike out what they did not manually install)19:47
EickmeyerRight. They should probably look at what they really want. Usually what they want are packages.19:47
EickmeyerAnother good one to look at is "snap list" because... who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯19:47
tomreynoh, right, probably.19:48
