| morgan-u2 | I have 22.04 up to date. Can I go back from the latest update by using the recovery image? | 01:12 |
|---|---|---|
| leftyfb | morgan-u2: there is no "recovery image" | 01:14 |
| nexsec | probably making a confusion with kernel images | 01:15 |
| morgan-u2 | when I see grub it is the second one down. Did I name it wrongly? | 01:16 |
| morgan-u2 | Little things dont work right. I havent ever had the problems... | 01:16 |
| leftyfb | morgan-u2: that is "recovery mode" also known as "single user mode" which potentially allows you to repair a broken system | 01:17 |
| leftyfb | morgan-u2: what isn't working right? | 01:17 |
| morgan-u2 | OK is there a way I can go back to before the last update please? | 01:17 |
| leftyfb | morgan-u2: define update | 01:17 |
| morgan-u2 | Now I have to remember. Thelatest one was the the sub menu for cut copy paste didnt woek and I had to use the kb. | 01:18 |
| leftyfb | in which application? | 01:18 |
| morgan-u2 | update. that thing that the Software Updater offers to me. | 01:18 |
| === nexsec is now known as nexusecurus | ||
| leftyfb | morgan-u2: are you referring to upgrading your release from a previous version of ubuntu (20.04) or regular package updates? The former would go through a whole process and requires a reboot at the end | 01:19 |
| morgan-u2 | I do not remember for sure... I dont want to be wrong. was not terminal. or text. so then it was in chrome. Might have been a reddit text box. Might have been some site's feedback text box. - - also I have random spitting out what is in the control-c buffer. Mostly in discord but also happened in a reddit text box. | 01:20 |
| morgan-u2 | leftyfb, I dont remember but I think the last on took a reboot so it must have been akernel update. | 01:21 |
| morgan-u2 | SOrry reread. Def NOT an upgrade from an earlier version. I have been using 22.04 since that may of june. | 01:22 |

| bluesanta | hello, I'm working on a simple script to change my desktop image every fifteen minutes using cron | 03:20 |
| bluesanta | however, the normal command using gsettings is not working | 03:20 |
| bluesanta | I'm running 23.10 | 03:20 |
| bluesanta | I've tried this command: | 03:20 |
| bluesanta | gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri-dark 'file:///home/bluesanta/Pictures/a.png' | 03:21 |
| bluesanta | I've also tried gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///home/bluesanta/Pictures/a.png' | 03:21 |
| bluesanta | none of this works | 03:22 |
| bluesanta | actually, that's not entirely true | 03:22 |
| bluesanta | from time to time, after trying the following commands, it did work... | 03:22 |
| bluesanta | chmod a-w ~/.config/dconf/ -R | 03:22 |
| bluesanta | as well as: sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.config/dconf -R | 03:23 |
| bluesanta | chmod a+w ~/.config/dconf/ -R | 03:23 |
| bluesanta | I can go into dconf-editor and follow the path to org.gnome.desktop.background and then change the picture there | 03:25 |
| bluesanta | typically, it only changes if I do the picture-uri-dark setting, because I use dark | 03:25 |

| Mibix | hey can someone help me I think I borked up my Ubuntu somehow after uninstalling some desktop environments I don't use | 06:31 |
| Mibix | seem to be stuck on a flashing Kubuntu screen, I do normally use Plasma | 06:31 |
| Mibix | just endlessly stuck here, it did pop up with a disk check thing very briefly then went back to the kubuntu loading animation | 06:32 |
| mherbst | hello | 06:42 |
| rfm | Mibix, that sounds like the display manager is trying to start a session and it's failing, probably because something's missing after the uninstalls. This is hard to debug remotely, especially since I've forgotten where all the logs are. | 06:56 |
| rfm | Mibix, what I would do is try to swap to a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, .... until one works, log in, do | 06:57 |
| Mibix | i uninstalled the nvidia driver and reinstalled kde hoepfully that works | 06:58 |
| madge | hi, When I am using version 22.04, I want to set the WiFi IP address to static IP. What should I do? I tried to modify the netplan configuration file and set it on gnome, but failed | 06:58 |
| rfm | Mibix, reinstalling kde was what I was about to recommend... | 06:59 |
| rfm | madge, with ubuntu desktop 22.04, shouldn't fiddle with netplan. the gnome network settings (which will configure NetworkManager are the right thing.) nm-connection-editor should also work. | 07:02 |
| madge | After setting up on gnome, I can connect to the internet, but accessing the website may get stuck. | 07:03 |
| dge | hi, which file(s) contains information about installed packages from foreign repositories ? | 07:04 |
| rfm | madge, if the static IP is getting set ok and things sort of work for a while I'd be highly suspicious there's another host on the net trying to use that same IP... | 07:05 |
| dge | madge, can you get response from ping google (shell prompt) ? | 07:05 |
| madge | rfm: IPv4 -> Manual -> Address 192.168.0.101 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.1 DNS auto Route auto | 07:06 |
| dge | and which network manager are you using ? do you use resolvconf ? | 07:07 |
| dge | can you also control your nameserver configuration inside /etc/resolve.conf ? | 07:07 |
| madge | dge: I'll try it later，thanks. Besides, how do I know what manager I am using. | 07:08 |
| rfm | madge, are you sure 192.169.0.101 isn't in your DHCP servers' range? for most default router configs it would be... | 07:08 |
| madge | sorry. 192.168.0.101 | 07:08 |
| dge | madge, you can list services from systemctl status command | 07:08 |
| rfm | dge, it's in /var/lib/apt/lists but it's pretty hard to dig out | 07:08 |
| dge | rfm, inside /var/lib/apt/lists/ directories, i see files finished by _Package but they contain not only the one that are installed... | 07:09 |
| Mibix | ok back up rfm, should probably reinstall latest nvidia drivers though right? | 07:10 |
| dge | rfm, dig out is not a problem to me as long as i get the point on what is the clue about installed packages from foreign repo so that i will build my Go alogythm to find my list. | 07:10 |
| rfm | dge, if you know the package you care about, then just "apt-cache policy packagename" will show you where it came from | 07:10 |
| rfm | madge, sorry 169 was my typo. but .101 still sounds like in a default DHCP range (check your router config) | 07:12 |
| dge | rfm, yeah, i see apt-cache is the shel command to go with. But it is to build a Go code, and then i don't want to use shell command line, but to dig in files. I have to know what are the informations to search for and where to target the "installed foreign repos deb packages". | 07:12 |
| dge | rfm, so can you confirm that really, /var/lib/apt/lists/ is NOT the files list of installed only foreign packages to find, but all of them 'installed or not) that foreign repos provide ? | 07:14 |
| rfm | dge, once upon a time I googled something like "list packages installed from a repository" and found a shell script that did it (mainly by getting a list of installed packages from dpkg -l | grep ^ii and looking up each package in the data base.) | 07:15 |
| dge | rfm, i did it same, but after to check, i got list of not installed one too from these sources... | 07:15 |
| madge | rfm: How do we generally recommend setting these parameters? Address, netmask, gateway, dns, routes... | 07:16 |
| rfm | dge, I'm pretty sure /var/lib/apt/lists is everything apt-get knows about the repositories, i.e. all available packages, not just ones installed. | 07:16 |
| dge | also, again, i'm searching for files that contains the information dpkg or apt-cache are going to search for. And definitely not to use shell command. | 07:16 |
| dge | rfm, can you please check ? | 07:16 |
| rfm | dge, how would I do that? | 07:17 |
| dge | rfm, i found not only installed one there, and was not able to get the clue about: "which information indicated it is installed or not" from these files. | 07:17 |
| dge | rfm, bah you run your apt-cache command, then you go to read files (or just grep/ripgrep them) and you will see... | 07:18 |
| dge | compare and see evidences. | 07:18 |
| rfm | dge, I don't think I can help you, I'm by no means an apt developer. sorry. | 07:19 |
| dge | for example, let's said for mongodb official repo (not the ubuntu one), you can add the repo, then install mongodb from there, and check... in the /var/lib/apt/lists/_some_name_of_this_mongodb_repo_Package file, read it and see that there is much more than the one you did installed. | 07:20 |
| dge | rfm, no problem. It is difficult to get these information, also because of fake informations in web sites around. difficult to find the correct information. Lot of wrong things. | 07:21 |
| rfm | madge, these parameters all depend on how your network supplier has defined your network, it's not a policy set by the OS. | 07:22 |
| * rfm is off to bed now... | 07:23 | |
| madge | Thanks rfm, | 07:24 |
| dge | madge, again, if you can rich internet connection but can not read web site, most of the time, it is a nameserver problem (not all the time, but in most case). | 07:26 |
| dge | as i told you, check your /etc/resolve.conf nameserver ip, try to change it to 8.8.8.8 or something well known. If it is that, you can also use the resolvconf package to fix it (because when you restart, it will be back to unresolved if not). Because i supposed you have NetworkManager installed as default. | 07:28 |
| ice9 | there is something wrong in 23.10; when I launch an app while youtube is playing, the sound breaks for seconds, this happens for any IO operations; I have i7-11th gen CPU and 16GB RAM | 07:29 |
| dge | ice9, is it pulseaudio or pipewire managing sound ? | 07:31 |
| ice9 | dge, isn't the default pipewire? | 07:31 |
| ice9 | yeah it is | 07:31 |
| dge | maybe the problem is coming from there ? | 07:34 |
| dge | ice9, did you also check your dmesg log file ? | 07:36 |
| ice9 | dge, there is nothing there | 07:36 |
| dge | ice9, can you also try to read YT stream from an other application than the one you are using, and also try to read stream other and test use case to get a closer idea or inform us with that too ? | 07:44 |

| deltreey | because I don't use any environment variables in my config. | 13:55 |
| deltreey | interestingly, it also doesn't work when I select "Take Screenshot" from the panel icon | 13:56 |

| deltreey | well, managed to get the panel-based flameshot app working. Apparently the new ubuntu/gnome/wayland/something is wanting to request permissions, and I can get that to pop up by having the configuration window open from the panel and triggering a screenshot from the panel, but there's no way to do that with the shortcut key, so the request for | 16:23 |

| mcc | Hi, yesterday I took a new Lenovo Thinkpad out of the box and installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, then immediately wiped it & installed Ubuntu 23.10. I am now seeing a problem where if I close my laptop screen, wait a couple minutes, then open it again, everything has been closed. The GUI session has been logged out and all my apps are killed. I did not see this before but I think it is because before I was plugged into power. What should I do? | 17:19 |
| mcc | I don't know what app to blame, how to test, anything. I want to file another bug on 22.04 and it's hard cuz my OS keeps shutting off LOL :( | 17:19 |
| mcc | I filed a Launchpad bug for the other big problem I am having. The problem is that "Large Text" accessibility is on and it will not turn off. If I click the switch it turns itself back on again. Now all my text is too large. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2039722 I would appreciate any help in either putting this in the right category, or gathering whatever diagnostics are needed before I go nuclear trying to fix it. | 17:53 |
| -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2039722 in Ubuntu "'Large Text' accessibility option cannot be turned off. Text is too large" [Undecided, New] | 17:53 | |
| mcc | I think that because there is an actual nonresponsive checkbox ("Large Text") it is more important in this case to find a root cause and fix it at the Ubuntu end than it is to fix it on my local installation. | 17:53 |
| tomreyn | mcc: for the package to file it against, my guess would be on gnome-settings-daemon | 18:08 |
| mcc | @tomreyn Thanks. Although there was the option to assign to a package when creating th ebug, now that I have filed the bug, it seems that I cannot "reassign" it. What should I do? | 18:10 |
| eqw | why `sudo snap install --classic node` choosed 18.18.0 to install and not 20.8.0 ? What this depends on? | 18:10 |

| oerheks | for 19 > sudo snap install node --channel=19/stable --classic | 18:12 |
| leftyfb | right, I think you need to change the channel | 18:12 |
| leftyfb | --channel=20/stable | 18:12 |
| oerheks | check the install button | 18:13 |
| leftyfb | to get 20.8.0 | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | mcc: you prompt someone who can to do it for you, which just happened. | 18:13 |
| mcc | @tomreyn Thank you | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | mcc: you should ideally "apport-collect 2039722" on the affected system now. | 18:14 |
| eqw | leftyfb: 22.04.2 | 18:15 |
| leftyfb | eqw: sudo snap install --channel=20/stable --classic node | 18:15 |
| eqw | my question was not "how to install 20?", it was "why it's 18 by default?" | 18:16 |
| oerheks | check the install button | 18:16 |
| oerheks | * of 18 | 18:16 |
| eqw | i don't have any button in my terminal | 18:17 |
| oerheks | snap find nodejs | 18:18 |
| oerheks | oh that shows only 18 .. | 18:18 |
| tomreyn | https://snapcraft.io/node indicates the publisher of this snap set the default channel to be 18/stable | 18:19 |
| tomreyn | you should contact the developer / publisher to suggest improvements | 18:19 |
| eqw | i just have zero experience with snap. So to see the default channel you gotta open https://snapcraft.io/<name> ? | 18:20 |
| mcc | @tomreyn ok, i think i got it | 18:20 |
| oerheks | https://snapcraft.io/node | 18:21 |
| mcc | eqw: This may not be helpful depending on what you are trying to do, but for node I recommend using nvm. This is a special package manager for just node. It is good because it makes it possible to have several node versions installed simultaneously and switch between them. | 18:21 |
| eqw | mcc: i don't see snap for nvm | 18:22 |
| tomreyn | mcc: looks good (the bug report) | 18:22 |
| mcc | eqw: the point is it lives outside your package manager, it is one of those "pipe curl to sh" things. this means you will not get the advantages of snap however. | 18:23 |
| mcc | tomreyn: ok. do you think it is safe to start doing nuclear things that might disrupt the configuration? (another gnome project i filed a bug on requested this "journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat" thing and doing a logout then log back in | 18:24 |
| mcc | for data gathering i mean | 18:24 |
| tomreyn | mcc: i'm really not enough into gnome to make a recommendation thrtr, i'm afraid | 18:25 |
| mcc | thanks | 18:25 |
| tomreyn | *there | 18:25 |
| jpmh_ | how does ssh manage to access the authorized keys file when I use encrypted home directories? | 18:30 |
| mcc | Incidentally, I am still blocked on my "shutting the laptop then reopening it kills the entire GUI session and all apps" problem and I don't know how to proceed. That doesn't seem like something to file a bug on. | 18:31 |
| tomreyn | jpmh_: you are probably referring to crypto containers which have been opened / activated / mounted because your user account is currently active. | 18:34 |
| tomreyn | (and thus needs access to these files) | 18:34 |
| tomreyn | make sure you read up on what storage encryption actually protects against (and what not) | 18:35 |
| jpmh_ | tomreyn: I do not understand what you are saying. So, let me explain a little more. I run with an encrypted home for my use jpmh, and there is another use grue. If I connect to grue I can see that /home/jpmh is not available. But if I ssh in as jpmh, for as long as I am connected that directory IS available | 18:37 |
| tomreyn | mcc: this sounds like it *could be* an issue with return-from-suspend, which there is with many laptops. there can be workarounds (sometimes), but it's usually a lot of fiddling. | 18:37 |
| mcc | The arch wiki says there is a specific problem where you need to make sure one suspend option is selected and not another https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/m0ZwNIeA/image.png | 18:39 |
| tomreyn | mcc: it's usually hardware / firmware specific, too, so it's more something the computer manufacturer should have to deal with - but most of the time they will just say "we don't support linux on this model" | 18:39 |
| tomreyn | jpmh_: encrypted how? | 18:39 |
| mcc | @tomreyn Lenovo's linux support page says they support Linux on this model. That is why I bought it. The version of linux they claim to support is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS however. And of course I am running 23.10 | 18:40 |
| leftyfb | jpmh_: I'm guessing you have you public ssh key elsewhere on the system. Maybe in /etc/ssh/. Because otherwise, if the public key in in the encrypted container and you haven't yet decrypted it, you're not utilizing that key | 18:40 |
| jpmh_ | tomreyn: encrypted however it gets encrypted when I installed and said "encrypted home directories" | 18:41 |
| mcc | Anyway, Arch wiki says to do all kinds of archy things like fiddle with config files. What would be the Ubuntu/Gnome equivalent of that however? | 18:41 |
| leftyfb | jpmh_: pretty sure encrypted home directories hasn't been a thing since Ubuntu 18.04 | 18:42 |
| tomreyn | jpmh_: this is very legacy encryption then and should no longer be used (unless very recent ubuntu releases introduced support for ext4 encryption, which i do not know) | 18:42 |
| jpmh_ | leftyfb: if I do, how did it get there, and I really wonder, what caused me to question this was that I limit not only by allowed public key but also by ip address. I added an ip address to /home/jpmh/.ssh/authorized_keys in the from=".. format - and sure enough I can get in from that ip | 18:42 |
| jpmh_ | leftyfb: running 22.04 - although I did migrate there from 19, and they are definitely encrypted | 18:43 |
| leftyfb | jpmh_: either the home dir is decrypted or your key is stored elsewhere. | 18:43 |
| tomreyn | mcc: most of the time: the same, or equivalent (when you run into commands which are not available on ubuntu) | 18:43 |
| mcc | OK. I just don't want to take a command line option if it turns out there is a GUI app/setting and I just didn't find it. | 18:44 |
| jpmh_ | leftyfb: yes - I wonder if the system is maintaining a "copy" of the file so that when I change it in /home... it can be found | 18:44 |
| leftyfb | jpmh_: look in /etc/ssh/ | 18:44 |
| tomreyn | mcc: probably not for most of these under-the-hood things. there is a graphical systemd journal viewer named "Logs" on gnome(-shell), i think. | 18:46 |
| jpmh_ | leftyfb: I do not see any files there that look like candidates, I see the config files and they keys for the machine itself | 18:46 |
| tomreyn | jpmh_ / leftyfb: i would expect ecryptfs to automatically open / make acceible the decrypted variant of files in a users' home upon login to that user. i have not looked into how it worked, really, though, but this seems logical to me, otherwise logged in users would not be able to access their files. and by using ssh, you login, whereas just browsing the file system as a different user, you don't. | 18:51 |
| leftyfb | tomreyn: sure, if authenticated outside the ssh key residing inside the encrypted volume | 18:52 |
| tomreyn | jpmh_: still, the only really relevant information is: don't use ecryptfs in 2023, it is no longer safe to use. | 18:52 |
| leftyfb | ^ | 18:52 |
| tomreyn | leftyfb: oh, right, i guess i didn't get the full scenario. | 18:53 |
| jpmh_ | tomreyn: and leftyfb the issue I do NOT understand is that authorized_keys is in /home/jpmh/.ssh and that is NOT accessible until AFTER I am signed in, even to root | 18:53 |
| leftyfb | jpmh_: either the home dir is decrypted or your public key is stored elsewhere. | 18:54 |
| tomreyn | right, i don't know how ecryptfs solved this potential issue, or whether it did | 18:54 |
| leftyfb | jpmh_: maybe your other user doesn't have permission to see the home directory | 18:54 |
| leftyfb | tomreyn: it didn't | 18:54 |
| leftyfb | tomreyn: I used to utilize it and had to work around this | 18:55 |
| tomreyn | i see | 18:55 |
| jpmh_ | leftyfb: look from root | 18:58 |
| leftyfb | then your key is stored elsewhere | 19:00 |
| leftyfb | or you're not using a key | 19:00 |
| leftyfb | also, stop using e2cryptfs | 19:01 |
| mcc | Okay so a couple thoughts: - I tried plugging in my laptop, then closing and reopening it. I got the "everything dies" problem. So it appears (?) that this is something that changed in the Ubuntu defaults. It did the right thing in 22.04 LTS (which I was using yesterday) and the wrong thing in 23.10. | 19:01 |
| leftyfb | sorry, ecryptfs | 19:01 |
| tomreyn | mcc: you are experiencing the result of lesser QA that goes into regular ubuntu releases vs LTS releases then, i guess. | 19:04 |
| mcc | Does that imply I should file a bug? | 19:05 |
| mcc | Question 2-- it would help a lot if I could tell *what kind* of reset is happening when I closed the lid. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/SOYLqHbY/image.png | 19:05 |
| tomreyn | based on what you wrote it's a regression, so you could file a bug. | 19:06 |
| mcc | @tomreyn you recommended I look at logger (thank you) but I don't know what pane to look in and there are no datestamps on these messages which makes them kinda useless | 19:06 |
| tomreyn | mcc: i did not mean to *recommend* using the Logs GUI application. personally, i will always prefer journalctl on the CLI. | 19:07 |
| mcc | Like, possibilities include - closing the lid caused the machine to power down. - closing the lid and/or reopening it caused the wayland server to crash. - closing the lid and/or reopening it caused some other DE component to crash. | 19:07 |
| mcc | ok. journalctl also is new to me :( on mac or windows i would know how to get a searchable/filterable GUI log of events such as app crashes and reboots with some minimal information about the reason for reboot. | 19:08 |
| Eickmeyer | Most likely an acpi component in the kernel. `ubuntu-bug linux` would get the appropriate logs. | 19:08 |
| mcc | @eickmeyer hm this opened a launchpad bug so i guess i'm filing a launchpad bug lol | 19:10 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: Yes, that's what it's intended to do, but it also uploads the appropriate logs automatically. | 19:10 |
| mcc | i see! | 19:12 |
| xu-help12w | Hi All. Thank you for being here and offering help and support (I will do the same if I can). I have a working mirrored ZFS on root with lots of user installed packages and supporting config under 22.04.02 LTS and would like to copy it to a fresh install of 22.04.03 LTS on new hardware. Unfortunately I have had a recent disaster where a | 19:14 |
| xu-help12w | similar mirrored ZFS on root failed to boot after an unintentianal upgrade. The pools and mount points on both systems are identical with the exception of 22.04.02 LTS where there is an additional dataset 'rpool/USERDATA' mounted at '/home/backuppc'. Could anyone please suggest what is the safest/recommended way of transerring the old working set | 19:14 |
| xu-help12w | to the new target ? | 19:14 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: In the meantime, you might experiment with the `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=` line in `/etc/default/grub` and add `acpi_osi=` and one of linux, default, or windows to it and see what works best for your machine. After making changes to that file, always run `update-grub` and reboot. | 19:16 |
| ravage | xu-help12w: if you just want to copy the whole pool over i recommend using zfs send and receive. probably from a live system on the target. if both system are on the same LAN you could try: https://www.reddit.com/r/zfs/comments/buuugd/protip_ive_discovered_want_to_zfs_send_a_huge/ | 19:25 |
| ravage | xu-help12w: please dont pm. we can discuss it here so other can help too | 19:32 |
| ravage | to your question: every ubuntu livecd supports ZFS | 19:33 |
| ravage | so you can use the usual desktop iso and choose "try ubuntu" | 19:33 |
| xu-help12w | Sorry as I said I am new to irc. | 19:33 |
| mcc | @eickmeyer ok thank you i wrote that down. the arch wiki page for this laptop https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T14_(AMD)_Gen_3 says "If you run system firmware version 0.1.17 do not set the suspend mode in UEFI setup to Linux (S3)." but it's not clear what they mean by UEFI setup (the "bios" screen before enabling an OS? i was gonna try that next). Is that different from the acpi_osi setting in Grub? | 19:34 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: No, it's the exact same thing, just sets a default. | 19:35 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: It makes it so you don't have to enter it manually on boot. | 19:36 |
| mcc | @eickmeyer okay. you mean that the before-enabling-os screen sets a default and then the grub settings can override it? | 19:36 |
| mcc | just trying to understand the "chain of command" for lack of a better term | 19:36 |
| xu-help12w | ravage: Thank you. Are there detailed steps that a zfs newbe could follow anywhere ? | 19:37 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: What I told you sets the default grub command line, nothing more. Arch has a slightly different way of doing it, so don't use their method. | 19:37 |
| * Eickmeyer is also an experienced Arch user and knows the difference | 19:38 | |
| mcc | ok. i have only used msys2 :( | 19:39 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: Ok, so that article from Arch is describing something in your UEFI setup (your setup screen before the computer even gets to grub), so no, the acpi_osi setting doesn't matter with that. | 19:40 |
| mcc | ok. | 19:40 |
| Eickmeyer | I was confused, I thought you linked their GRUB article at first. | 19:41 |
| mcc | ah | 19:42 |
| mcc | After filing my bug about the sleep/wake issue, the bug status was changed from "new" to "confirmed" "by a bot". Why would a bot do that? It seemed to happen too quickly for any human to independently reproduce the bug (as it requires installing a new version of Linux...!) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2039731/comments/2 | 19:49 |

| Guest91 | but in file app the external hard disk works perfectly. In what i am wrong? | 20:27 |
| oerheks | Digikam snap? https://snapcraft.io/digikam | 20:28 |

| oerheks | the snap version got external storage enabled by default, just preview would take a lot of time i guess. | 20:33 |
| zato | oy | 20:34 |
| Eickmeyer | To be sure, it might be good to try `sudo snap connect digikam:removable-media`. | 20:34 |
| oerheks | i just checked, Eickmeyer, forgot to install it. | 20:34 |

| mcc | The ukranian translations are fixed | 20:39 |
| mcc | Source: Someone named RAOF on mastodon ? | 20:40 |
| mcc | I downloaded a 23.10.1 image last night from an official release page | 20:40 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: RAOF is a good authority. | 20:40 |
| oerheks | loswedseded, iso is out, upgrade path not. | 20:40 |
| Eickmeyer | Upgrade path is waiting on a major upgrade bug to be sorted, which requires the next development branch to open. Patience, please. | 20:41 |
| mcc | I think it was him. | 20:41 |
| mcc | Also if the two apparent regressions I am experiencing in 23.10 are real then maybe u want to give it another couple days in the oven :) | 20:42 |
| Guest91 | i have setting but i don't have application and i can't find permission | 20:42 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: Sadly, those aren't upgrade blockers. The upgrade blockers would be something that causes problems in the process of upgrading, not post-upgrade issues. | 20:43 |
| oerheks | Guest91, those settings are for snaps only. | 20:43 |
| Guest91 | i think i have digikam 8.1 and i think is from snap | 20:43 |
| oerheks | not sure the apt version gives such option | 20:43 |
| mcc | @eickmeyer Well what I mean is, from a user perspective, you might want to consider it a blocker on pressing the upgrade button. Was not trying to make a statement about what the policy should use to declare a release | 20:43 |
| === JoeBk_ is now known as JoeBk | ||
| Eickmeyer | Guest91: run `sudo snap connect digikam:removable-media` and try that. | 20:43 |
| Eickmeyer | Guest91: That would be from the terminal. | 20:44 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: That's not the policy, sorry. | 20:44 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: Moreover, that's not my call. | 20:44 |
| leftyfb | Guest91: you opened the "Settings" application and you don't see "Applications" listed halfway down on the left? | 20:44 |
| Eickmeyer | leftyfb: It's a snap that's unable to see removable media. | 20:45 |
| Guest91 | now i try sudo snap connect | 20:45 |
| mcc | I think I'm writing unclearly. Sorry. | 20:45 |
| mcc | Question: A frustrating thing to me about Ubuntu w/ default WM is if I click on the dock/dash, I cannot find out "what I am looking at". For example if I want to know what command line to invoke to launch that app. Some ppl on mastodon https://mastodon.social/@nclm/111256914415434410 asserted in the underlying GNOME dash, there is an "app details" line. This sounds GREAT. Why do these users see it in their Fedora/Ubuntu but not me? | 20:45 |
| leftyfb | Eickmeyer: yes, and the snap settings can be managed from the settings menu | 20:45 |
| mcc | Is this about the difference between GNOME and whatever slightly-different-from-GNOME thing Ubuntu ships? | 20:45 |
| oerheks | the snap version got external storage enabled by default | 20:45 |
| Eickmeyer | leftyfb: They were looking in the app itself. | 20:46 |
| leftyfb | ah, yeah, that won't work | 20:46 |
| oerheks | oops .. systemsettings from the application menu | 20:46 |
| oerheks | my bad | 20:46 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: Yeah, that's a GNOME-level decision. Other desktop environments have different ways of doing that and can show with a "properties" entry in the right-click menu. Xfce and KDE's Plasma Desktop, for instance, have that. | 20:47 |
| oerheks | but in settings > collections one can set something for external media too | 20:47 |
| mcc | @eickmeyer Thanks. What confuses me though is I am talking to two separate people who claim they have exactly such an option in GNOME? Implying either GNOME removed something in the last year, or there is a way to add it, or this is Ubuntu not GNOME. | 20:48 |
| Eickmeyer | mcc: I don't recall that option ever being available in GNOME since 3.0 back some 12 years ago. | 20:49 |
| pydev | can anyone help me? | 20:49 |
| pydev | https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/viewer.html#navigating-around-an-e-book | 20:49 |
| pydev | The viewer has two modes, “paged” and “flow”. In paged mode the book content is presented as pages, similar to a paper book. In flow mode the text is presented continuously, like in a web browser. You can switch between them using the viewer Preferences under Page layout or by pressing the Ctrl+M key. | 20:49 |
| pydev | cant find it | 20:49 |
| Guest91 | ok maybe i have understand. in ubuntu settings application digikam permission all is on | 20:49 |
| Eickmeyer | pydev: You might ask Calibre support. | 20:49 |
| mcc | Ok interesting | 20:50 |
| Guest91 | in digikam settings collection i don't see the usb hd | 20:50 |
| Guest91 | also after sudo snap connect | 20:51 |
| Eickmeyer | Guest91: Do you have the collection added as a "Collection on Removable Media"? | 20:51 |
| mcc | Okay I understand now. It appears "Show Details" is a function of gnome-software. But it only shows information that is in the gnome-software database so it is not as helpful as I'd hoped. | 20:52 |
| Eickmeyer | Because it can't be a "Local Collection". | 20:52 |
| * Eickmeyer has to go AFK | 20:53 | |
| mcc | I wonder how it added that to the menu. Maybe I could write my own app to show the information I want. | 20:53 |
| Guest91 | there is just computer home the internal disk. In the manual there is written that i can take photos also from an external disk | 20:53 |
| Eickmeyer | Guest91: But only as a "Collection on Removable Media", not as a local collection. | 20:53 |
| Guest91 | i have collection on removable media, but there is no ext hd | 20:54 |
| Eickmeyer | Ok, considering this is a snap and not the version from the repos, we technically can't support it here, you might have to ask in #digikam or #kde. | 20:55 |
| Guest91 | ok thank you anyway | 20:56 |
