ilgazHello all. Does anyone know the reason why the " update-manager-core/jammy-updates,jammy-updates 1:22.04.17 all "  update is held for weeks on 22.04 LTS/pro? I got curious05:01
rbox!phasedupdates | ilgaz05:09
ubottuilgaz: Since Ubuntu 21.04, APT may hold back some updates on some systems while they are being phased in. This is called "phased updates". See https://ubottu.com/y/phased and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PhasedUpdates for more info.05:09
slingamni'm installing from ubuntu-22.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso and it spent a few seconds "waiting for cloud-init"05:29
slingamni'm curious, are there some circumstances under which cloud-init would take over the install? would i have the opportunity to refuse?05:29
rboxslingamn: huh?05:37
slingamni think i found the relevant docs:05:38
slingamn"Identify the datasource: The hardware is checked for built-in values that will identify the datasource your instance is running on. The datasource is the source of all configuration data."05:38
slingamnso basically cloud-init just needed to figure out that this is metal and not a cloud instance05:38
ilgaz_rbox: I got "scientifically" curious, I see the package changelog it is nothing too critical anyway. It has been like 3-4 weeks now. Actually I should remove the package since that machine is managed via terminal, any window popping up will confuse our manager.06:20
ilgaz_Thanks BTW, I have this rtl8821cu wifi nightmare here so dropping in and out.06:21
ilgaz_oops, not removing, it is recommended by friendly-recovery06:24

ubottuxheimlich: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection16:10
lotuspsychjexheimlich: this list is limited though, a lot more machines are supported by default on ubuntu aswell16:10
xheimlichThat's not what I was asking. There's this Ubuntu variant, how does the community sees it.16:10
CosmicDJxheimlich: use whatever works for you16:10

Guest80Hey all17:10
lotuspsychjewelcome Guest8017:10
Guest80I am having trouble with getting dualboot to work together. Neither grub nor linux is being recognized in my uefi bios. So I flashed supergrubdisk on my usb and it was able to boot stuff17:12
jeremy31Guest80: What computer?17:13
Guest80Lenovo x260, uefi/gpt windows 11 partition17:13
Guest80secure boot disabled, fast start disabled17:13
Guest80does anybody have any idea what is going wrong?17:16
jeremy31Guest80: Sure Ubuntu was installed using UEFI?17:17
tomreynGuest80: i just did a web search on this model and linux and see that many seem to have succeeded on installing linux on it. i don't see why a multi-boot scenario would make it impossible.17:19
Guest80Yes, bios is set to ONLY boot using uefi and non-csm.17:19
Guest80The problem is that linux has detected windows boot loader, but windows and bios fail to recognize any grub/linux os on the partition17:19
jeremy31Guest80: Post URL from terminal for> efibootmgr -v|nc termbin.com 999917:20
* arraybolt3 guesses "Windows Boot Manager" is getting in the way and "ubuntu" needs to be set to a higher boot priority to get GRUB to load17:21
jeremy31arraybolt3: Could be but never heard of this with Lenovo yet17:21
arraybolt3I think I saw someone with a Lenovo have that problem. Obviously we'll need to see the efibootmgr output to be sure though. (I have an HP laptop with that issue.)17:22
Guest80arraybolt3, the problem is there is there is no "ubuntu" option in my boot priority. Only options are:17:23
jeremy31me too17:23
Guest80windows boot loader17:23
Guest80kingfast ssd17:23
Guest80and some network card names17:23
arraybolt3Do you remember ever seeing a "Customized Boot" option in the BIOS settings?17:24
Guest80no17:24
Guest80I am not in linux right now. is there any other way to check efibootmgr command?17:25
jeremy31I don't know how to access the EFI System Partition from Windows17:25
arraybolt3I don't know what Windows tool would show that info either.17:26
jeremy31Guest80: bcdedit command in Windows might have a list option17:26
jeremy31Have to open command line as admin and run bcdedit and that should list the efi entries17:27
Guest80https://imgur.com/a/cJXKU0n17:29

lotuspsychjenot sure at wich point he's now17:34
tomreynlotuspsychje: i see, thanks.17:35
Guest80but why my bios has no ubunto option to boot from? Is it normal to not have it (doing it for first time)17:35
tomreynGuest80: no, it's unusual that it does not list "ubuntu" as a boot target17:36
jeremy31Guest80, It would be nice to see what is in the EFI System partition, if there is an ubuntu directory, it can be fixed17:36
Guest80ok, I am opening efi partition, I will update you with what is in there17:38

tomreynJohn1_36: or did you choose to do the "1.3.4.1. Ubuntu/Debian Network Installation" instead?17:41
John1_36tomreyn : I'm in step 317:42
tomreynJohn1_36: of which section?17:42

tomreynGuest80: yes, that looks good. i don't know what jeremy31 plans to do now, though. one way you could potentially fix it is to configure this boot loader within your bios, but only some bioses allow for this.17:46
John1_36tomreyn : I download the cuDNN debian local installer file  and then enable the local repository but unfortunately the signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F37D203008A7D361.17:49
tomreynJohn1_36: i assume the debian local installer is for debian, not ubuntu. after all, this section says "debian" only, while the network instllation section lists both debian and ubuntu, and points to an ubuntu installation guide which uses differen tinstructions to install with a local repository.17:51
Guest80ok. so here is the stuff I did:17:52
Guest80did a clean install of latest win11 (uefi/gpt)17:52
Guest80checked fastboot/secure boot17:52

CrellHI folks. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04. It has Firefox 111 installed. There is no newer option in apt. The latest is 121, but mozilla.org only offers it as a tar.gz. My bank... requires 113 at least.  How exactly do I get a more up to date Firefox on here?  I would have expected apt to do that automatically.18:21
rboxfirefox isn't in apt, its in snap18:23
rboxand the very latest versions aren't always avaible18:23
ioriaJohn1_36, e.g.  deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/your_key -keyring.pgp] repo url18:23
leftyfbCrell: the latest firefox release from Mozilla is 121, the latest release installed on your machine via is 12118:23
leftyfbCrell: sudo snap refresh18:24
Crellleftyfb: According to the About dialog, it's 11118:24
leftyfbrun that18:24
leftyfbCrell: sudo snap refresh firefox18:25
CrellOK, refreshed... didn't seem to do much.18:25
CrellHm, it won't refresh Firefox while it's running.  Lovely.  (I'm talking to you from the web client.)18:25
pragmaticenigmawas just about to ask18:25
pragmaticenigmamake sure firefox isn't running when trying to update18:25
CosmicDJyou can do snap refesh, but you'll have to restart the app in question...18:26

tomreynCrell: this might be a good time to start using an irc client18:32
CrellOn my old machine I could never connect to this network with a real IRC client for some reason.  I wasn't on it often enough to bother figuring out why.18:33
ioriaJohn1_36, what's in that file ? /var/cudnn-local-repo-ubuntu2204-8.9.7.2918:34
CrellBut it does seem to work now, thanks!  Do snaps not autorefresh in the background?  I never had to worry about manually updating Firefox in the background before.  (My old machine was also ubuntu, but originally installed 5 years ago.)18:36
tomreynCrell: if you'll change your mind: you can usually get support with setting up your chosen irc client in it's support channel (using the webschat while you set it up) or in #libera18:36
CrellI'll probably give Konversation a try again at some point.  It's not really a priority, though.18:37
tomreynCrell: a properly working snap installation actually insists on self-upgrading and uograding packages in the background18:38
CrellHm.  Then how come mine did not?  (Admittedly I only installed this machine 2 days ago or so.)18:39

pragmaticenigmaCrell: Snap will not update the app unless it is closed regularly. That's when it will apply updates18:43
CrellHm.  I tend to leave Firefox open 24/7.  It's only closed when I reboot.18:44
pragmaticenigmaIt's not really a good idea to do that18:45
pragmaticenigmamost sites use really crappy SDKs for ad serving. Almost all of them with memory leaks18:47

semhello, a day or so ago I tried getting my volume keys to work and determined that a bios update might help. However I've updated the bios and they still don't work. Is there a ubuntu hardware datbase somewhere I can report that this hardware has problems?23:08
pragmaticenigmasem: There is a hardware database, but I'm not sure if one can report non-working items there.23:14
pragmaticenigma!hardware23:14
ubottuFor lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection23:14
semthank you23:14
semit looks like the current programs are ubuntu-certified (doesn't apply to me) and hw-probe23:21
teletubbyHow can I pipe audio from one application to another?23:39
teletubbywhat software is there?23:39
rboxwhat do you want to do23:39
teletubbyrbox: decode NOAA images23:43
teletubbyand satellite telemetry23:43
rboxhuh?23:43
teletubbyafter recording the satellite, my challenge is piping that audio to a decoder23:43
teletubbyBut I need software to do that23:43
teletubbyon windows I used VB Cable23:43
teletubbyvirtual audio cable23:43
rboxi think you missed a step there23:43
pragmaticenigmateletubby: Or you could just download the images directly from NOAA ... don't understand why you would do this locally23:44
teletubbypragmaticenigma its more fun when u have ur own setup23:44
teletubbyI dont follow only NOAA23:44
teletubbyI do ISS and other sats23:44
semteletubby, i'm familiar with the idea of intercepting satellite imagery/feeds, but I am not exactly sure how to do what you are trying23:45
teletubbysem i need to pipe the audio from my receiver to a decoding software23:46
pragmaticenigmateletubby: honestly, what you are asking is for a very very niche thing that I'm not seeing how this is a good place to ask. I would be looking for SDR and Ham Operator groups that would have a greater chance of having someone in them who has done this sort of thing before23:46
semwe can try to figure it out though23:46
teletubbyyes but the issue isnt ab rf, its ab me trying to find the software23:46
semon ubuntu23:46
teletubbythat can do this23:47
pragmaticenigmateletubby: Those groups are going to have people that probably know of the software that's appropriate. That's what I'm saying23:47
semteletubby, what software have you tried so far to do this?23:47
teletubbyon linux? nothing yet23:47
teletubbymaybe a virtual machine would help me23:48
semhmm, then yeah try what pragmaticenigma is suggesting, maybe ask around in #hamradio or duckduckgo and let us know what you find out23:48
teletubbyill report back when I find it23:48
semi know that ubuntu studio has a lot of audio utilities, maybe you could look at what it installs by default for inspiration23:49
pragmaticenigmathey've left23:49
semtoo late :)23:49
pragmaticenigmaWhat they are looking for is very specific software. We're talking about something that would date back to the 1970s, and earlier. Like when software was distributed on audio cassette23:50
pragmaticenigmanot that the decoder application would be that old, but when the standards and specifications of the signal format would have been determined23:50
CrellOK, this is odd.  Firefox is supressing the normal window chrome on my computer.  So... I cannot get the context menu to move it to another desktop.  Wha?  How do I turn that off?23:51
sempeople have been decoding satellite feeds very recently though so it's not that old23:53
semi can send you a link in #ubuntu-offtopic if you are interested23:55
pragmaticenigmasem: It's about being able to provide someone with knowledgeable answers. I don't know the first thing about any of that, and this honestly isn't the right place. In the 1061 people in this channel, finding a like minded hobbiest is going to be difficult compared to a channel like #hamradio where someone has likely worked in audio signal processing to a data stream23:56
pragmaticenigmaso rather than waste time stumbling around in the dark to find an answer, the guidance to have someone go to a community of like minded people is a better option. Where they are more likely to find someone that has faced the same problem or know of a place to look for answers23:57
semwell to turn the convo back to ubuntu... you would think that decoding software, if it exists, would be setup to simply select the audio stream from a dropdown. So the pproblem would be how to get the signal into the computer (maybe a USB interface) and then make sure that pulseaudio or whatever is working correctly and populating that dropdown23:58
