kerrymy system is a 64 bit ubuntu desktop01:21
kerryit's saying that I dont have secureboot enabled01:21
kerryjust wondering if that is a big deal?01:21
kerryalso it's failing all the tests in the same page which is concerning01:21
kerryalso if you add more than 1 device to v4l2loopback01:23
kerrythe original v4l2 device fails to work01:24

kerrynot sure how to flash a bios in linux01:30
kerrywhen my bios is designed to be flashed in winBLOWS01:30
kerry*cough* windows01:30
kerryit does need an update01:30
kerryi am running Ubuntu 23.04 64 bit edition01:33
kerryi was thinking installing a wine perhaps01:35
kerryand using it's own program to make a usb update01:35
kerrymy only idea on that one01:35
toddckerry: some bios can flashed in ubuntu but most bios can reflashed from a usb with the firmware on usb older ones may bneeo a dosboot with file  secure boot is not a big deal for most I have both and use it when I can01:36
kerrywhat do i need to flash it in unix01:37
kerrythe bios01:37
kerrybneeo01:37
kerrythat win or linux?01:38
toddchttps://askubuntu.com/questions/1043671/how-to-do-bios-uefi-update-on-a-ubuntu-system01:38
kerryit's not a dell01:39
toddcneed I fail to check what I type and bad at typing01:39
kerryit is however a intel board01:39
kerryhow i get the model # is beyound me01:40
kerryi have a bios version which doesn't help01:40
kerryin the about of linux01:40
kerryunder settings01:40
kerryBEH6110H.86A.0020.2011.0218.153801:41
kerryi believe it is BEH6110H01:41
toddcIt would be best to open and MB model and reboot into bios to verify version01:43
kerryit says here it's DH61WW01:44
kerryi'm confused01:44
kerrywhere would it give such information?01:45
kerryin the bios?01:45
toddcopen case and find MB model number printed on it and who mades it that way you can go who ever made it and get the correct current firmware01:45
kerryi dont even see a secure boot option here01:45
kerrythanks i'll try to locate it01:45
kerryappreciate ya01:46
toddcnp I only use it when I can and it is often had to find as each bios is a lot differnt01:46
toddcsecureboot only adds a small verification of drivers so not  big deal either way01:48
ashafqAre there any scope for signal processing engineer for project like ubuntu? Where can I contribute source?01:56
Eickmeyerashafq: In what way? Be specific.02:01
=== calcmandan is now known as thgilsrooc
ashafqEickmeyer: I am good at signal processing, and audio. I wanted to contribute to the ubuntu ecosystem. Thus I was wondering which project requires some signal processing help.02:05
ashafqAre there any projects maintained by Canonical that needs signal processing help.02:06
Eickmeyerashafq: Ubuntu is an operating system that happens to distribute applications along with that operating system. Is there any specific application or technology that piques your interest within Ubuntu?02:06
Eickmeyerashafq: Canonical doesn't maintain every single component in Ubuntu.02:06
ashafqEickmeyer: Well, that's what I wanted some guidance on. I may not be familiar with many of the projects out there that may need signal processing help.02:07
ashafqAlso, I am pretty decent at optimizing code. I don't know if that helps.02:08
Eickmeyerashafq: The audio subsystem is comprised of many components. First of all, there's alsa which is mostly withink the linux kernel itself with some auxiliary components elsewhere.02:08
Eickmeyerashafq: Then there's PipeWire which does a lot of the user-level handling.02:08
ashafqEickmeyer: Is pipewire standard on Ubuntu now?02:09
Eickmeyerashafq: If you're interested in getting to know some audio development, I know some great devs in #lad (Linux Audio Developers) that could direct you in the right direction.02:09
Eickmeyerashafq: Yes, PipeWire is standard as of 22.10, and will be in 24.04.02:09
Eickmeyerashafq: However, most of PipeWire collaboration takes place on the OFTC network in #pipewire.02:10
ashafqOh OK. I have asked #pipewire if they need some DSP help.02:11
ashafqI guess I'll wait.02:11
Eickmeyerashafq: Not this network. irc.oftc.net02:11
ashafqYea, in OFTC02:11
EickmeyerPerfect.02:11
EickmeyerBut also, #lad is a good place on this network, lots of devs doing DSP stuff there.02:12
ashafqI am somewhat active in #lad02:12
EickmeyerI'm there also because I do packaging work for them (Ubuntu Studio lead here)02:12
ashafqOh nice02:12
ashafqI should spend some time on how to package libs for Ubuntu sometime.02:13
EickmeyerLibs are their own ball of wax and take standard packaging and add some extra knowledge, so learning basic Debian packaging first is pretty much a prerequisite. :)02:14
ashafqAny tutorials that you may find good?02:14
ashafqI'll start with my current libs that I have on Github02:14
EickmeyerSadly, learning from doing is the best way. Best place to go is the Debian Packaging manual.02:14
Eickmeyerhttps://wiki.debian.org/Packaging02:15
ashafqOk. Thanks. That's good to know.02:15
EickmeyerBasically that's how I had to learn.02:16
ashafqMost of my projects were in embedded systems before. And 'packages' that I had to deploy would have so little users that people usually downloaded from source.02:16
EickmeyerFair enough.02:17
ashafqI guess there's also SOF project02:24
ashafqBut that's more on making custom audio devices.02:24
CumbaLithow would I best test a script that I have that escapes characters?02:30
ComputerTechSo I upgraded from ubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 via do-release-upgrade -d02:41
ComputerTechbut Ubuntu software is still the same name, and not app centre, and quarter tiling isn't working02:42
ComputerTechdo i need to download freshly from the ISO and install fresh?02:42
ComputerTechyeah i can't find an option to enable quarter tiling, nor is it working, any ideas? :v02:51
ComputerTechok fixed quarter tiling by installing tiling assistant, but App Centre is still being replaced by Ubuntu Software for some weird reason02:57
ComputerTechok now fixed that by following https://askubuntu.com/questions/1488852/upgraded-from-23-04-to-ubuntu-23-10-no-app-center-no-firmware-flashing-tool03:01

Apachezwhats your experience of compressed kernel modules and xv vs zstd for that?16:44
rbox"experience"?16:47
Apachezwell I have seen that ubuntu lately defaults to zstd but any drawback with either except that xz takes slightly longer to compress but will bring smaller file too ?16:49
rboxwhat kind of drawback would there be besides time and size16:50
rboxlol16:50
Apachezwell functionallity as in why wasnt the kernel modules compressed already years ago in ubuntu by default?16:50
rboxwhy wasn't <insert random thing that wasn't done this way before>16:51
rboxcould be said about lots of things16:51
Apachezobviously there is some kind of drawback otherwise it would already been enabled years ago16:51
tomreynApachez: they were, though16:51
tomreyncompression has been in place for a long time16:52
Apacheznot as it seems for the kernel modules in ubuntu16:52
rboxthe drawback is that it takes time to decompress16:52
tomreynit just shifted between compression formats16:52
Apachezlinux kernel itself have had that support for the past 25 years or so but linux kernel in ubuntu have had that enabled only for the past year or so16:52
tomreynwhoops, sorry, i didn't notice 'modules'16:53
tomreynmy question would then be: how long has there been support for compressing modules?16:53
Apachez+25 years16:53
tomreynor decompressing at runtime rather16:53

sysdipHaving some workflow / behavior issues. On Ubuntu 43.10, gnome-shell v45. Notable extensions would be Space Bar (i3wm styled workspace switcher), Dash To Panel, and Arc Menu.20:17
rboxhuh?20:17
sysdipThe expected behavior (correct me if I'm wrong) is that Gnome should default to open applications (in this case, launched via Arc Menu) to the currently active workspace. This is not the case for me. It seems like it works sporadically, certain applications will always open under the correct workspace / display that is active, however others do20:19
sysdipnot, or will "remember" their last position even if completely closed.20:19
sysdipE.g. display 1 is active. "gnome settings" opens on display 1. Vice verse if display 2 is active. This behavior does not apply to all applications.20:20
