[00:50] <mare_123> hi, is there any way to set dark theme in qt apps on xubuntu 22.04?
[00:59] <mare_123> my nordic darker theme doesnt seem to work in qt apps like okular, smplayer...
[01:16] <tahusyad05> t
[01:16] <tahusyad05> Hello
[01:19] <ComputerTech> should:  do-release-upgrade with the -d flag be safe? or should i wait it out until the release is properly done?
[01:21] <kerry> my system is a 64 bit ubuntu desktop
[01:21] <kerry> it's saying that I dont have secureboot enabled
[01:21] <kerry> just wondering if that is a big deal?
[01:21] <kerry> also it's failing all the tests in the same page which is concerning
[01:23] <kerry> also if you add more than 1 device to v4l2loopback
[01:24] <kerry> the original v4l2 device fails to work
[01:24] <kerry> being OBS
[01:25] <kerry> lol when all else fails i guess try rm -r * LOL jk JK
[01:25] <kerry> :P
[01:25] <ComputerTech> :O
[01:27] <kerry> v4l2 has some issues
[01:27] <kerry> it needs some tissue
[01:28] <kerry> lol
[01:28] <kerry> can you say quick patch for $100 Alex
[01:28] <kerry> :P
[01:28] <kerry> please n thank you :P
[01:29] <kerry> lol
[01:30] <kerry> not sure how to flash a bios in linux
[01:30] <kerry> when my bios is designed to be flashed in winBLOWS
[01:30] <kerry> *cough* windows
[01:30] <kerry> it does need an update
[01:33] <kerry> i am running Ubuntu 23.04 64 bit edition
[01:35] <kerry> i was thinking installing a wine perhaps
[01:35] <kerry> and using it's own program to make a usb update
[01:35] <kerry> my only idea on that one
[01:36] <toddc> kerry: 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 can
[01:37] <kerry> what do i need to flash it in unix
[01:37] <kerry> the bios
[01:37] <kerry> bneeo
[01:38] <kerry> that win or linux?
[01:38] <toddc> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1043671/how-to-do-bios-uefi-update-on-a-ubuntu-system
[01:39] <kerry> it's not a dell
[01:39] <toddc> need I fail to check what I type and bad at typing
[01:39] <kerry> it is however a intel board
[01:40] <kerry> how i get the model # is beyound me
[01:40] <kerry> i have a bios version which doesn't help
[01:40] <kerry> in the about of linux
[01:40] <kerry> under settings
[01:41] <kerry> BEH6110H.86A.0020.2011.0218.1538
[01:41] <kerry> i believe it is BEH6110H
[01:43] <toddc> It would be best to open and MB model and reboot into bios to verify version
[01:44] <kerry> it says here it's DH61WW
[01:44] <kerry> i'm confused
[01:45] <kerry> where would it give such information?
[01:45] <kerry> in the bios?
[01:45] <toddc> open 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 firmware
[01:45] <kerry> i dont even see a secure boot option here
[01:45] <kerry> thanks i'll try to locate it
[01:46] <kerry> appreciate ya
[01:46] <toddc> np I only use it when I can and it is often had to find as each bios is a lot differnt
[01:48] <toddc> secureboot only adds a small verification of drivers so not  big deal either way
[01:56] <ashafq> Are there any scope for signal processing engineer for project like ubuntu? Where can I contribute source?
[02:01] <Eickmeyer> ashafq: In what way? Be specific.
[02:05] <ashafq> Eickmeyer: 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.
[02:06] <ashafq> Are there any projects maintained by Canonical that needs signal processing help.
[02:06] <Eickmeyer> ashafq: 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] <Eickmeyer> ashafq: Canonical doesn't maintain every single component in Ubuntu.
[02:07] <ashafq> Eickmeyer: 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.
[02:08] <ashafq> Also, I am pretty decent at optimizing code. I don't know if that helps.
[02:08] <Eickmeyer> ashafq: 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] <Eickmeyer> ashafq: Then there's PipeWire which does a lot of the user-level handling.
[02:09] <ashafq> Eickmeyer: Is pipewire standard on Ubuntu now?
[02:09] <Eickmeyer> ashafq: 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] <Eickmeyer> ashafq: Yes, PipeWire is standard as of 22.10, and will be in 24.04.
[02:10] <Eickmeyer> ashafq: However, most of PipeWire collaboration takes place on the OFTC network in #pipewire.
[02:11] <ashafq> Oh OK. I have asked #pipewire if they need some DSP help.
[02:11] <ashafq> I guess I'll wait.
[02:11] <Eickmeyer> ashafq: Not this network. irc.oftc.net
[02:11] <ashafq> Yea, in OFTC
[02:11] <Eickmeyer> Perfect.
[02:12] <Eickmeyer> But also, #lad is a good place on this network, lots of devs doing DSP stuff there.
[02:12] <ashafq> I am somewhat active in #lad
[02:12] <Eickmeyer> I'm there also because I do packaging work for them (Ubuntu Studio lead here)
[02:12] <ashafq> Oh nice
[02:13] <ashafq> I should spend some time on how to package libs for Ubuntu sometime.
[02:14] <Eickmeyer> Libs 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] <ashafq> Any tutorials that you may find good?
[02:14] <ashafq> I'll start with my current libs that I have on Github
[02:14] <Eickmeyer> Sadly, learning from doing is the best way. Best place to go is the Debian Packaging manual.
[02:15] <Eickmeyer> https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging
[02:15] <ashafq> Ok. Thanks. That's good to know.
[02:16] <Eickmeyer> Basically that's how I had to learn.
[02:16] <ashafq> Most 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.
[02:17] <Eickmeyer> Fair enough.
[02:24] <ashafq> I guess there's also SOF project
[02:24] <ashafq> But that's more on making custom audio devices.
[02:30] <CumbaLit> how would I best test a script that I have that escapes characters?
[02:41] <ComputerTech> So I upgraded from ubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 via do-release-upgrade -d
[02:42] <ComputerTech> but Ubuntu software is still the same name, and not app centre, and quarter tiling isn't working
[02:42] <ComputerTech> do i need to download freshly from the ISO and install fresh?
[02:51] <ComputerTech> yeah i can't find an option to enable quarter tiling, nor is it working, any ideas? :v
[02:57] <ComputerTech> ok fixed quarter tiling by installing tiling assistant, but App Centre is still being replaced by Ubuntu Software for some weird reason
[03:01] <ComputerTech> ok now fixed that by following https://askubuntu.com/questions/1488852/upgraded-from-23-04-to-ubuntu-23-10-no-app-center-no-firmware-flashing-tool
[03:02] <ComputerTech> all good now, app centre is here \o/
[03:02] <ComputerTech> sry for unnecessary blogging <3
[03:08] <TheWebFox> ComputerTech, snap install snap-store --channel=latest/stable/ubuntu-23.10 and same for firmware-upgrade
[03:09] <TheWebFox> ComputerTech, make sure you do not install --edge or --beta
[03:09] <TheWebFox> yep, it's okay, the suggestion are good
[03:24] <ComputerTech> TheWebFox: neat
[03:24] <ComputerTech> :>
[03:24] <ComputerTech> ty for the suggestions tho <3
[04:24] <ob_123> como instalo aplicaciones por cmd en Lubutu

[04:27] <TheWebFox> ob_123, Lubuntu is not supported here, #lubuntu
[04:28] <Bashing-om> !support
[04:28] <TheWebFox> ob_123, sudo apt-get install <application package name>
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> TheWebFox: technicaly, all flavours of ubuntu fit also here
[04:29] <TheWebFox> or sudo apt install <app name>, example sudo apt install htop
[04:30] <TheWebFox> lotuspsychje, yeah and the command is universal to Debian and *deb distro
[04:32] <TheWebFox> ob_123, and then there is snap also, snap install spotify, or snap install discord

[12:07] <Yakov> how to allow launching .desktop file with cmd?
[12:14] <TenPlus1> Hi folks, has anyone upgraded from 22.04 to 23.10 and noticed a huge jump in memory usage ??
[12:17] <jeremy31> Yakov: see what command is used in the .desktop file
[12:19] <realivanjx> is there a way to reorder the icons on the top right of the screen?
[12:22] <TenPlus1> @realivanjx - maybe gnome tweaks has a setting to move them around
[12:36] <dux891> hello
[12:37] <TenPlus1> hi dux

[16:16] <ruser> does grub-pc need to have an mbr or something else?  I was initially trying to isntall an efi grub but i'm using ancient hardware that doesn't support it.
[16:16] <toddc> ruser: no
[16:17] <ruser> toddc: so it can just go ... here? /dev/sdb1     2048     1050623     1048576  512M EFI System
[16:19] <toddc> yes but format it ext4  I use ubuntu boot repair it will set it up automaticly
[16:20] <toddc> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[16:20] <ruser> i'm trying to setup zfs  raidz1 across 3 disks, the script i was using tries to install the efi. i'm doing it headless
[16:21] <ruser> I've seen that article but becuase no X/wayland can't use that. I guess I can try to get an iso
[16:21] <ruser> actually that's not a bad idea
[16:22] <ruser> I am already running on iso :)
[16:44] <Apachez> whats your experience of compressed kernel modules and xv vs zstd for that?
[16:47] <rbox> "experience"?
[16:49] <Apachez> well 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 ?
[16:50] <rbox> what kind of drawback would there be besides time and size
[16:50] <rbox> lol
[16:50] <Apachez> well functionallity as in why wasnt the kernel modules compressed already years ago in ubuntu by default?
[16:51] <rbox> why wasn't <insert random thing that wasn't done this way before>
[16:51] <rbox> could be said about lots of things
[16:51] <Apachez> obviously there is some kind of drawback otherwise it would already been enabled years ago
[16:51] <tomreyn> Apachez: they were, though
[16:52] <tomreyn> compression has been in place for a long time
[16:52] <Apachez> not as it seems for the kernel modules in ubuntu
[16:52] <rbox> the drawback is that it takes time to decompress
[16:52] <tomreyn> it just shifted between compression formats
[16:52] <Apachez> linux 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 so
[16:53] <tomreyn> whoops, sorry, i didn't notice 'modules'
[16:53] <tomreyn> my question would then be: how long has there been support for compressing modules?
[16:53] <Apachez> +25 years
[16:53] <tomreyn> or decompressing at runtime rather
[16:54] <tomreyn> ok, no clue then
[16:56] <tomreyn> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1932329 might have some

[17:07] <oerheks> does secureboot support compressed signed modules?
[17:26] <Apachez> how come "do-release-upgrade -c" says "No new release found." ?
[17:26] <Apachez> I am at 23.04 and wanted to upgrade into 23.10
[17:26] <oerheks> use -d development
[17:27] <oerheks> i would wait for the release upgradepath
[17:33] <Guest7471> ubuntu
[17:37] <oerheks> https://www.bing.com/search?q=ubuntu&first=1
[17:39] <Apachez> yeah found out at https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/176mchk/2310_update_not_showing_up/
[17:39] <Apachez> seems like it might take another 1-2 weeks before the update files are released
[17:41] <Eickmeyer> There is literally just one blocking bug to get fixed before upgrades are enabled, but it requires 24.04 development to completely open first due to the nature of the bug.
[17:44] <Apachez> what kind of bug is that?
[17:46] <Eickmeyer> One where fonts can get corrupted during upgrade.
[17:47] <Apachez> any manual fix for that?
[17:47] <Apachez> like remove some fontcache?

[17:48] <Eickmeyer> There's no workaround if it happens and the effects are temporary, but I won't link the bug report here because that's when we get "when will this be fixed" comments and I'd rather the devs don't have to deal with that when it's a "Critical" level bug to begin with.
[17:48] <Eickmeyer> Dangit, ravage....
[17:49] <ravage> :)
[17:49] <Eickmeyer> Ok, now that it's here, please don't comment.
[17:49] <Apachez> but if its critical shouldnt the 23.10 be removed from devel metafiles then until thats fixed?
[17:49] <gordonjcp> I always love seeing stuff like "24.04" and I always want to install like two versions ahead
[17:49] <gordonjcp> and I do
[17:49] <gordonjcp> and I always regret it, but just for a moment it feels like the future
[17:50] <ravage> Apachez: -d is to test upgrades. it is not intended to be used by normal users. thats why it is called "development"
[17:50] <Eickmeyer> Apachez: No, because the .iso releases aren't affected.
[17:50] <Apachez> just wait until linux 10.x arrives, will that be named Linux X ? ;)
[17:50] <Eickmeyer> Apachez: That's not how it works.
[17:50] <Apachez> ravage: the mantic wikipage at ubuntu.com says to use -d so there is that
[17:51] <Apachez> ahh well will see within an hour or so how broken 23.10 is :)
[17:51] <Eickmeyer> Apachez: Yes, but that's "at your own risk."
[17:51] <oerheks> .. as i told you, unless you can wait
[17:51] <Eickmeyer> No support will be given here for upgrades done with "-d", meaning all upgrades to 23.10 at this point.
[17:51] <Apachez> everything involing ubuntu is "at your own risk" ;)
[17:52] <Eickmeyer> Apachez: Right, but you also give up community support too
[17:52] <ravage> life is at your own risk too
[17:53] <oerheks> one must have a reason to do -d or the use of mainline ppa.
[17:53] <Apachez> its fairly random how that community support works in reality
[17:53] <Eickmeyer> Then why are you here? This is a community support channel.
[17:53] <Apachez> Im here for various reasons, why are you here?
[17:54] <oerheks> random .. lolz
[17:54] <Eickmeyer> 🤦
[17:54] <Eickmeyer> Only support is on-topic here.
[17:54] <Apachez> I have no idea what that emoji means, you are here for a haircut?
[17:55] <Eickmeyer> That was a facepalm. This is a community support channel. Do you need anything else, Apachez?
[17:55] <Apachez> didnt know facepalms are on-topic in here but thanks, good to know
[17:56] <Eickmeyer> !guidelines | Apachez: trolling is not allowed
[17:57] <Apachez> but your trolling is ok?
[17:57] <Eickmeyer> Show me where I was trolling.
[17:57] <JanC> Apachez: if you upgrade now, problems you see are not something people will be able/willing to reproduce, so you will be on your own because of that alone...
[17:57] <Apachez> !guidelines | Eickmeyer: facepalms and emojis are not allowed
[17:58] <Apachez> JanC: yeah, thats how things usually turns out
[17:58] <Eickmeyer> There is nothing in the guidelines that says that, Apachez.
[17:59] <Apachez> hoping to verify if that sidebar in gnome missing newly started icons from apps are fixed in upcoming 23.10 or if that bug remains as it showed up in 23.04
[18:00] <Apachez> after a few days of uptime when you start a new app it wont show up in the sidebar as running but its visible through alt+tab, anyone else noticed this in 23.04 ?
[18:41] <Apachez> "iTrusChina" as installed ca-certificate through 23.10... what could possibly go wrong?

When /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/animate-show-apps is disabled the app list wont show up at all when click on "show apps" icon in the dock in 23.10. Enabling animation makes the "show apps" work again (it has always been disabled in my ubuntu installations previously).
[20:00] <Apachez> but thats about it... some funny characters during install but they were manageable enough to complete the installation - gone after reboot
[20:00] <Apachez> so overall (for now) upgrading to 23.10 went without too many issues
[20:02] <Apachez> and for those of you running virtualbox from oracle, use the ubuntu edition instead - since the 7.10 available from virtualbox.org is for jammy which no longer works in mantic (you will see funny out of range errors during shutdown and boot referencing /tmp/vbox.0/...)

[20:17] <sysdip> Having 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] <rbox> huh?
[20:19] <sysdip> The 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 do
[20:19] <sysdip> not, or will "remember" their last position even if completely closed.
[20:20] <sysdip> E.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.
[20:37] <Apachez> tried to reinstall virtualbox from ubuntu repo and reboot but still get:

[20:37] <Apachez> [    6.085472] index 2 is out of range for type 'SUPGIPCPU [1]'
[20:37] <Apachez> but my vm's seems to work without issues so the above is the only remaining issue I got with upgrade into 23.10 in case somebody cares ;)
[20:39] <tomreyn> Apachez: if you're looking for responses to what yu post here, it will be tremendously helpful not to quit within 2 minutes of posting about it
[20:40] <tomreyn> (and please use a pastebin such as dpaste.com for anything above a single line)
[20:43] <rfm> Apachez, vbox 7.0.10 had some known problems with linux 6.5.  vbox 7.0.12 had some fixes. 7.0.12 is on the virtualbox.org site, removing the ubuntu package and installing from there could help (but you´d /join #vbox for help, not here)
[20:45] <tomreyn> which is on oftc, right?
[20:46] <tomreyn> oh there's one here as well
[20:47] <rfm> the "official" #vbox is on OFTC, but the one here seems to get just as much traffic and participation from the developers..   I'm always in both

[20:52] <Apachez> rfm: problem is that virtualbox.org doesnt have any ubuntu package for mantic, latest is for jammy (which is 20.04 LTS or something)
[20:52] <Apachez> tomreyn: as I posted previously I was in the process of upgrading from 23.04 to 23.10 :)
[20:53] <tomreyn> many folks have more than one computer these days.
[20:53] <Apachez> sure but only one for irc :)
[20:54] <Apachez> the errors also occured with the jammy packages from virtualbox.org and 7.0.12 (which is why I first tried to switch to the package provided by ubuntu and then reinstall that but same errors)
[20:54] <Apachez> but vm guests runs fine so I dunno
[20:55] <Apachez> quick google search gives zero hits for pages but 5 hits for pictures which are photos of these errors and first posted online 5-6 days ago
[20:57] <rfm> Apachez: other people are reporting that .12 didn't fix it..https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=110315
[20:59] <rfm> Apachez, and there's a bug (but no action on it yet) https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21877

[21:02] <lubuntu> merhaba
[21:03] <tomreyn> hi
[21:06] <Apachez> rfm: thanks, yeah I can confirm that 7.0.12 didnt help
[21:11] <Apachez> hard to tell if 23.10 is faster than 23.04 or just placebo, but it at least doesnt feel slower :)
[23:12] <LordDragon> hey all
[23:13] <LordDragon> so I have a VM here on my local machine that i just upgraded the host software on
[23:13] <LordDragon> i think its changed encryption or something because my admin password no longer allows me to login
[23:13] <LordDragon> since i have local access to the VM, is there a way to forceably reset the root password without losing my whole setup?
[23:18] <ravage> LordDragon: which part includes Ubuntu here?
[23:22] <LordDragon> ravage: the guest OS im trying to reset root passwd for is ubuntu server 22.xx
