=== charlz9 is now known as charlz [00:53] is dd a good alternate for clonezilla? i need to copy an existing drive to a new drive and it needs to be an exact copy and bootable. [00:54] dd with progress && sync, sure [00:54] dd clonezilla probably builds in some nice things about resizing filesystems or similar [00:54] err, delete the "dd " from the start of my sentence :) [01:07] Is there a site or place I can check to know when I can upgrade to 24.04 from 23.10? [01:08] upgrade path is available with 24.04.1, somewhere in july [01:08] devslash: easiest is to run the do-release-upgrade command periodically .. I think it will require do-release-upgrade -d before 24.04.1 is released. I understand it's currently blocked due to some bugs. I *think* this is controlled by a file on a webserver somewhere, but it might be easier to just run the command [01:09] we officially do not recommend to use the -d development option, but if you do, prepare an usb with a fresh 24.04 iso first [01:10] I think this is the file https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts [01:11] jups [01:11] Well that's not exactly what I meant [01:13] In the past I have had issues running do-rrlease-upgrade soon after a new version is released. It's happened a few times where I had to run some commands to repair the boot loader because it fails to boot after an upgrade [01:13] as usual, upgrade path is available with 24.04.1, somewhere in july [01:14] tons of sites/blogs reviews that give the do-release-upgrade -d trick [01:14] but i would wait [01:17] Oh I'm not rushing at all to upgrade. I'm on 23.10 and it doesn't sound like there are any features in 24.04 that I have to have right now [01:17] just be sure to jump before 23.10 hits EOL [01:18] sure you do !

[01:40] itu: the reptyr package might be able to help you move those programs to another terminal. it might also just kill them as part of trying to do what it does, I haven't tried it in ages. [01:50] there are not so much running programs [02:02] everytime i click []scrollbar visible both terminal windows shrink in width ... very funny :-/ [02:05] hey, someone still up ? i'm searching for the ytdl.py script, i only find pip install ytdl and that doesn't want to work because of: error: externally-managed-environment [02:05] if i ever manage changing the scrollbar-width ... i theoretically should have solved the problem implicit [02:06] stuv afaik the new yt-dl ist called yt-dlp [02:07] sudo apt install yt-dlp [02:11] or by pip [02:11] I live by yt-dlp :D [02:12] Never can tell when The Powers That Be™ are going to pull a video, so I pull down all the stuff I like on a daily basis. [02:14] sounds like that'd take a lot of storage lol [02:14] a most excellent idea. I've lost too many videos that I liked just because I didn't do the same :( [02:16] Aventra: I have tens of TB at my disposal. And I just did a "du" on my videos directory. It's taking up about 4.8TB [02:17] Aventra: storage is cheap cheap cheap [02:17] Aventra: a Syno 1821+ w/8x8TB, and a Syno 923+ with 4x8TB. [02:19] SuperLag: wow! [02:20] Aventra: one is shared storage for non-VM stuffs, and backups for local machines. One is shared storage just for VMs. [02:41] (suddenly i managed to get back the scrollbar .. eventually with opening a third window ) [02:43] ha :) I didn't expect that [03:00] sarnold: question for you, sir.

I never installed it before, so I think that's what it was called. I installed it just because I don't want to do anything with it other than run a few docker images. Anyway, I noticed on it there is a docker.io package in the repo, but that does not seem to be installed per a apt list --installed | grep docker.io, yet the docker runtime is already there [04:30] along with a docker network interface. Does it just come pre-loaded with docker runtime without the docker.io package installed or am I missing something? === shahzaib is now known as shojojojo === TOMMY^PENGAMEN is now known as metallicaa === PasiZ8 is now known as PasiZ [05:19] I'm experiencing the black screen on reboot issue with my desktop after updating a nightly 24.04, wiping disk and installing 24.04 as well. First boot after installation, everything is fine. Reboot and system hangs on a black screen after some initial messages. Using Radeon 6800XT with Ryzen 5 5600X CPU. I've seen several mentions of similar issues, tried the nomodeset workaround to no success. Has there [05:19] been any other methods to fix this issue discovered yet? [05:20] help, I no longer have gui anymore [05:20] Using Mainline to update the latest kernel also did not resolve my issue. Nor has booting to safe mode first then restarting. The problem always comes back. [05:21] how can I fix gui again? === diogeness_ is now known as diogeness [05:45] Well. I can confirm it's an AMDGPU issue. Swapped out my Radeon 6800XT for a GeForce 1070 I had in storage and everything works fine on reboot. No blackscreen. Seems to jibe with the reports in the bugtracker about people having blackscreen issues: Most (all?) use AMD based GPUs. [05:45] Wiped, reinstalled, tried to duplicate the issue on multiple reboots. Cannot duplicate with the 1070. Swapped out the GPUs. Got the black screen on second reboot with the 6800XT. [05:46] Cannot get desktop back with the AMD card installed. Got it back when I swapped the 1070 back in. [05:46] Last thing I did before I experienced this issue was apt update, about 3 days before the 24.04 release using a nightly iso. === Guest7698 is now known as metallicaa [06:51] Morning in ubuntu 24.04 and also caracal cloud repo cephadm complains about cephadmlib, have anyone tried ceph in 24.04 [06:56] why does gdm3 service not doing anything and exiting? === ferz is now known as Guest5124 [07:45] how to install sinhala [08:02] roadkill: try a previous kernel version as a test?

[10:15] I don't think the webserver that shows you the html content matters [10:33] Hi, is there no upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 yet? [10:34] I can get to 23.10 by changing LTS to normal in "release-upgrades" but cannot see 24.04? [10:37] Guest5: upgrade path might take a while to open usualy [10:37] Guest5: and its also not really reccomended to upgrade right now [10:39] OK, I'm only doing this because the new installer doesn't have the ability to select LVs in manual partitioning, so had to install using 22.04. But this new Asus g16 doesn't seem to work with nvidia drivers on this earlier LTS. [10:39] Guess I'll try to upgrade to 23.10 and see if everything works there [10:40] Guest5: LTS upgrade from 22.04 will be available in august when 24.04.1 releases [10:42] I don't understand why if there is a major decision to be made to switch to another installer, that all functionality of the old one isn't implemented before releasing it... [10:44] Guest5: the new installer is new, hence needs more improvement [10:44] Then don't switch to it [10:44] the devs surely have their reasons to switch to a new one [10:45] They haven't considered it blocks many people from installing the distro altogether, shocking decision. [10:45] Make sure it works and replicated historic functionality before making such a major switch [10:46] clean install should work Guest5 [10:46] Many people have reported this and they are calling it "feature requests"... [10:46] and if the user needs the LTS route, await 24.04.1 for a stable experience [10:47] lotuspsychje it doesn't work, they haven't implemented the ability to select logical volumes from manual partitioning [10:48] did you try clean install Guest5 ? [10:48] When was subiquity introduced? [10:48] lotuspsychje what do you mean clean install, that's exactly what I'm referring to here. The change of installer doesn't have the ability to manual partition as previous one did [10:49] So you cannot properly implement FDE where boot is also encrpyted etc [10:49] there are a few bugs still indeed, read the releasenotes [10:49] !noble [10:49] Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) is the 40th release of Ubuntu and the current !LTS release - Download at https://ubuntu.com/download :: Release notes at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/noble-numbat-release-notes :: Further schedule at https://ubottu.com/y/nn [10:49] Its not s bug, they just didn't implement this, but its been possible for years and years in the old installer. [10:50] Stupid decision, end of! [10:50] nothing the volunteers can do about here Guest5 [10:50] we try to help where we can, with the release there is [10:51] In didn't come to complain about it but that's what happened, I came to see if it was possible to upgrade having used the old installer on 22.04. [10:51] This new hardware doesnt seem to like 22.04, so I must upgrade some way. Trying 23.10 now. [10:52] i upgraded from 23.10 to 24.04 at early stage, to help debug the devel cycle [10:52] but that was with -d in my case [10:53] Maybe that'll show up once I'm on 23.10. But if 23.10 works I'll.happily stay there. [10:53] 22.04 live CD graphics don't work on this new laptop, but the 24.04 worked fine. [10:53] Hopefully 23.10 is enough [10:54] Guest5: what you could try on 22.04 is the !HWE kernel see if your graphics work there [10:55] OK thanks will try that [10:55] !hwe | Guest5 [10:55] Guest5: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack === sunda-man is now known as belajar-linux [10:55] Guest5: install 22.04 physicaly, then if you cant get in, enter via grub/recoverymode and install the HWE kernel [10:56] Yea I was there, I tried all the nvidia drivers even the new graphics-drivers PPA, didn't know about the kernel option so will try that if 23.10 doesn't work (assume it will though) [10:57] allrighty good luck === belajar-linux is now known as tommy-linux === PasiZ1 is now known as PasiZ [11:56] Hi all. I am thinking off coming back to ubuntu with 24.04. Is snap ok nowadays? [11:57] I mean are apps from snaps perform good? [11:59] anyone? [12:06] Ubuntu started compressing linux-firmware files in 23.10? [12:19] GSMarquis: I think that is correct [12:57] Hi all [14:11] What's the Ubuntu package for GNU Lightning? [14:15] mort: it doesn't look to me like it is available anywhere but the gnu ftp server [14:48] well, supposedly GNU Smalltalk, GNU Guile & CLISP (can? optionally?) use GNU Lightning, but from what I understand Guile uses an embedded fork of it, and maybe that's also true for the others? [15:05] Hello [15:07] welcome DarkWitcher [15:07] I was messaging yesterday about a problem with PipeWire on Ubuntu 24.04 on an XPS 9560. Basically, whenever I restart the laptop, I get dummy output. However, I found out that if I restart it with a USB audio card in it, the internal sound card gets registered and is on after the restart. [15:08] At this point I am absolutely not sure how to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated! [15:13] hello [15:22] Sorry if this is a common question, multiple guides online say to try `sudo do-release-upgrade -d` to upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04, but that reports "There is no development version of an LTS available." for me. I know the upgrade process still has some rough edges, but is there a way to give it a try anyway? [15:26] https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/04/dont-upgrade-to-ubuntu-24-04-yet [15:30] ogra_: Right, I've read some of those posts. But it seems at least some folks were able to upgrade. So is the above command wrong, or has the upgrade been disabled? [15:32] nope, but you are coming from an LTS and there is indeed no development LTS around currently (since 24.04 became stable) so the message is not wrong 🙂 [15:32] there will not be uprades yet [15:33] here is the official buglist FWIW https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/noble-numbat-24-04-release-status-tracking/44043#current-blockers-for-enabling-upgrades-from-jammy-7 [15:36] kzar, grep Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades what it says ? [15:42] Hi peeps. Just got 24.04 and I'm unable to install nvidia drivers through the proprietary drivers panel in 'software updates'. 550 gives an empty error box with just an "x"; 545 fails complaining about nvidia-dkms-545.. [15:42] Is there one that you have noticed works? [15:46] I have tried starting from scratch a few times. i have purged all nvidia and cuda. [15:46] At this point, I just want basic driver functionality. :-( [15:48] ioria: It says "lts". If I change it to "normal" and run the `sudo do-release-upgrade` I'm offered to upgrade to 23.10, but not 24.04. [15:48] upgrade is not availible yet [15:49] well, i did it some times ago [15:49] Nvidia driver porblem: I see some suggestion about using 535 instead. Ugh. Another reboot and another attempt. [15:49] Why do I always adopt so early? I get excited and then 50% of my stuff stops working. Haha [15:49] ioria: Right, that's why I'm here asking questions. Some folks have upgraded, or at least tried to. So I'm wondering if the command I was using was wrong, or if the upgrade was just disabled since then somehow [15:50] vbox + vmware don't work either. [15:50] kzar, what is the command you used? [15:50] WeeBey: Well, I tried a few including `sudo do-release-upgrade -d` [15:50] kzar, i just did that yesterday morning and it worked. [15:50] i was on 23.10, however. [15:51] WeeBey: OK thanks that's good to know. [15:51] kzar, some ppas installed ? [15:51] kzar, btw [15:51] my upgrade crashed [15:51] left the entire system broke and unconfigure [15:52] thankfully an apt update from tty suggested just running the confguration of all packages and everything got back to normal. [15:53] ok. restart time [15:53] OK, well thanks everyone I'm going to assume the upgrade is being hidden now. E.g. because this says "Supported: 0" or something like that https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development . Thanks for the help, good luck fixing your system WeeBey [15:56] What *exact* kernel is 24.04 using? [16:00] Well then.. Today I learned that newer drivers don't work for the graphics chip on this laptop. I have to use 535 and not 545 or 550. [16:00] https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/introducing-kernel-6-8-for-the-24-04-noble-numbat-release/41958 some flavour of 6.9 [16:00] *6.8 [16:01] also, i noticed at login the settings for choosing wayland or xorg is gone. At least it's defaulting to xorg. [16:01] so the kernels shipped in the release images will have the stable updates up to 6.8.1, plus a few cherry picked patches from stable. [16:02] another FYI: virtualbox doesn't work on 24.04 ( sigh...) [16:02] neither does vmware workstation pro 17. === Rahoul7 is now known as Rahoul [16:05] hello world! [16:08] hello carey [16:08] WeeBey: try qemu-kvm [16:09] hola tom! [16:09] tomreyn, :-| [16:09] WeeBey, the session selector is still there for me. I do have to select the user first, then the gear is there on the password screen [16:10] so i was soooo excited for the new 24.04 release I marked my calender and looked around Nashville (where I live) for any nerdy celebrations and nada ha ha. [16:10] have anyone tried ceph in 24.04 ? [16:10] WeeBey: i'm guessing that wayland isn't setup if the installer detects somewhat current nvidia hardware. bt that's just a wild guess. [16:10] rmf yea.. it's gone It's odd. [16:10] tomreyn, I wasn't there with nouveau either. [16:11] Not sure why. Not a problem though since I don't use wayland [16:11] and then update-manager did not offer me the release and i found out im suppossed to wait until august 15th, is that correct? [16:11] ok. At least nvidia driver is installed. I think... lol [16:13] LTS-to-LTS upgrades only happen after the .1 release [16:14] if you are on 23.10 it should happen earlier (but not for everyone at the same time) [16:14] yeah I got a little too nerd excited. [16:15] thats ok, aug 17th is my birthday so ill wait [16:15] its just some updated packages [16:15] also, if you want "nerdy celebrations", someone has to organise them--it could be you! :) [16:15] its not a cure for cancer [16:15] careybalboa, just format and reinstall. :-) [16:16] rbox, lol [16:16] well now we are closer to proving that we are in the Matrix https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a60553384/covid-simulation/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR28RYHY9zlbqCaGrpWjr5OKsMJLnJWgkwRsIeH_J9hY2Iv5FZP-yKUvZwQ_aem_ARiUGr2Dwj13w1FtNRh7nVCDcejQ3IC9OucYxjYUpvjfVl11lCRDyTcErdIYL_UKYS8mU9GqdTtZgTIj7xf4MX8z [16:16] well, for the time being, I can't use my virtual machines. Which really sucks and now I regret updating. They work if i boot to kernel 6.5 but I don't know if this will break nvidia again. [16:17] careybalboa: please don't post links unrelated to ubuntu support here [16:17] oh sorry [16:18] no worries, we just do support here, but there are other channels [16:19] oh yeah, in a recent support case I noticed the file uploader to the right on the support webpage does not function, the rep did not get my uploads even tho i got a confirmation... [16:26] How is firefox performance in ubuntu 24.04? [16:27] Depends on the website, good. [16:27] cosmicrajiv: define performance [16:27] CosmicD3: I mean the default firefox from snap [16:29] because i am thinking of coming back to ubuntu. previously with ubuntu 22.04 it was not good like its starting time and such things [16:30] cosmicrajiv: i dont have numbers but it felt slow for me, so i replaced the snap with https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions [16:31] Cosmic: ok [16:31] So, is thunderbird also behaves like that?

[17:35] ioria, it does happen in Settings, Files, or any gnome apps (i think) [17:37] webchat7, well, you can restore the old fonts pkg (fonts-ubuntu-classic), but it will remove the spinning splash (you can reinstall it, btw) [17:38] ioria, this is my second fresh install. same things happened on the first installation.

I can't compile some stuff (vbox) and the error makes no sense to me: https://pastebin.com/thqGZqGm [18:15] hmm... so... 24.04 is still unsafe to upgrade to? [18:15] it's a warning that im not using the same gcc as was used for the kernel [18:15] but... it's the same! innit? [18:15] (aside from file name?) [18:16] so "current" is the latest version of that snap right? so why it doesn't delete older versions after "snap refresh"? https://pastebin.mozilla.org/h0y2dq3h [18:17] snap keeps 2 or 3 versions . [18:17] cbreak: better clean install, or await 24.04.1 indeed [18:17] hmm :( [18:18] cbreak: and read the !noble releasenotes before you give it a go [18:18] yeah, I did, that's why I haven't updated yet... :/ [18:18] I hoped to be able to do that this or next weekend [18:18] want to change the cluster at work in major ways, and that'd be a good time to update the OS too [18:19] it seems the problems are in part related to the nonsensical snap transition for thunderbird [18:19] which shouldn't be an issue for servers [18:19] I am seeing a couple bugs already. It's been a day. [18:21] but noble gives virtualbox .. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+source/virtualbox [18:21] oerheks, does flatpak do the same? [18:21] ice9, not sure it does or can. [18:21] ioria, im back. i tried to boot into nomodeset but it not working, i also tried to remove nvidia driver and reinstall but still same issue occurred. [18:22] i think i just play with it for awhile and wait for new updates [18:22] one can limit snap versions, snap set system refresh.retain=N # where N cannot be less than two. [18:24] webchat7, i still think it's a font problem; maybe you can try again to change them or install some [18:25] i may need to switch to kvm like tomreym suggested ... [18:25] sudo apt install virt-manager [18:27] ioria, anyway thanks for your help [18:27] oerheks, thanks for that tip. i removed the installed virtualbox (.run file install) and am getting it from repo. Seems to be building ... [18:28] before, repo only had virtualbox 6.x [18:28] webchat7: can you make a pic of what your distortion looks like? [18:30] lotuspsychje, here you go https://ibb.co/Jpj7tSp [18:31] wow thats empty [18:31] webchat7: did you try a theme switch yet? [18:31] and this for files https://ibb.co/vjpCDv6 [18:31] lotuspsychje, no, its still in a fresh install [18:32] try switching via gnome-tweaks [18:33] yay oerheks thanks! it works. [18:33] i'll try to stick to the repo as much as i can [18:33] have fun! [19:31] Assuming I have a external USB hard drive larger than my laptop hard drive, what's the easiest way to back up my Ubuntu system? [19:32] Single boot Ubuntu 20.04 install, no separate /home partition, UEFI I think [19:32] luckily i have more than one USB-C port on the machine (Dell XPS 13) [19:33] I want to back up _everything_, not just the stuff in my /home [19:33] for a full backup try rescuezilla [19:33] dd the disk from a live session, so the hdd is not in use [19:33] or just clone packages [19:33] !clone [19:33] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate [19:33] !backup [19:33] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup, !borg, and !cloning [19:34] you need to boot rescuezilla from a thumbdrive or network though [19:34] ravage, right, i was hoping to avoid that but that makes sense [19:35] oerheks, thanks [19:35] have fun! [19:41] cores: cloneZilla is one that's pretty well known, it runs off a liveUSB , and does the "imaging" of the partition or HD, and your backup type is called "imaging" btw [19:42] clonezilla is rescuezilla without the GUI [19:42] or well. text based only [19:45] bprompt, ravage, yes I saw that. I'd rather use the GUI so I might try Rescuezilla [19:45] cores: I think you misread ravage, he said rescuezilla is CLI, not GUI [19:46] no? [19:46] cores: why the backup btw? 20.04 has one more year :) [19:46] rescuezilla gives the gui .. [19:47] i think he already checked out the websites [19:47] ravage: oooh rats, nevermind, "I" misread you =) [19:47] so he know what is what [19:47] backup of snaps is pretty useless [19:48] true. i do it anyway 😄 [19:48] bprompt, I have spent too much time installing, configuring and tweaking this system. I'd be very mad if I had to do it all over from scratch. [19:49] i like setting up a new LTS [19:49] fresh install. mount my old backup. restore what i need and improve on the old setup [19:51] cores: well, mind you that mine setup comes all the way back from 12.04 I think, maybe even earlier, what I do is mostly backup $HOME, about 90% of my configurations are there, most of it in ~/.local or ~/.config, and I install from scratch quite often, copy over my $HOME which I have in a 512gbs USB stick with a bunch of other things, and my configurations is mostly there, I have to do, not much [19:53] cores: and I "tar" the files, because that keeps permissions and filenames intact, so I can move an ext4 structure in a tarred file to whatever, ExFat, fat32 or ntfs [19:58] I've got a fresh install of the first 24.04 release, and I'm seeing strange behavior related to super+arrow keys and the enhanced tiling. I've disabled tiling popups and tiling groups, but I like the quad blocks. [19:58] The issue is when I'm moving around windows, sometimes the orange shading that indicates what a window will resize to will persist even after I'm done with the adjustment. I'm not sure how to reproduce yet, but it's happened several times. Not sure if I'll be able to take a screenshot or not. I'd like to report this, but I'm looking for the best [19:58] way to do so. [20:00] Oh, right now it's continuing to display the monitor icons "1", "2", and "3". I'm not sure why they popped up, but they're just sitting there. I was able to screengrab it, but I don't know what other diagnostic information I could provide to report something like this. [20:01] Moving around windows didn't seem to do anything, but the monitor indicators did disappear when I hit a different category in the "settings" gui. [20:02] Ok, so the the monitor indicator issue appears to just be the normal behavior when you have the "Ubuntu Desktop" category selected in settings. That's fine I guess. [20:03] describing the issue well textually, especially what is and isn't reproducible, and adding screenshots (maybe even short openly encoded videos) should help. together with an ubuntu-bug created bug report against, i guess, gnome-shell. [20:03] i mean you just described it well, just need to repeat in the bug report [20:04] I think I experienced that too now that you described it [20:04] I have the extended tiling disabled right now [20:05] Will try to enable it again soon. Please link then bug should you report it [20:05] make sure that the most relevant environment info will be included: graphics server (Xorg or wayland), graphics driver, ubuntu version and flavor, customizations you made to the desktop etc. [20:07] yesterday someone was reporting having graphical glitches (sounding similar to these) with 22.04 on an external monitor with amdgpu [20:07] i had the issues during the xz phase of 24.04 so i did not think too much of it [20:08] and just have never enabled it since then [20:09] Made a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2063970 [20:09] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2063970 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Enhanced tiling orange shading that indicates what a window will resize to will persist even after I'm done with the adjustment." [Undecided, New] [20:09] oh i actually have "Actice Screen Edges" enabled. that is what causing problems for you? [20:09] Also, it's weirdly difficult to copy messages from this chat. [20:09] i do not use any of the other options like "hot corner" [20:10] Where is "active screen edges"? In the settings? [20:10] Erotemic: shouldn't be, depending on the IRC client you use [20:11] It's the browser based webchat one. Minor annoyance. [20:13] I don't see "Active Screen Edges" or "Hot Corner" options. I seem to remember seeing them, but I don't see them at the moment, they are still available in 24.04 via the settings menu? [20:14] yes but i think i found what you mean [20:14] the advanced tiling at "Ubuntu Desktop" [20:14] the settings i described are at "Multitasking" [20:15] and it looks like those get disabled when you enable the advanced tiling [20:15] Yes, "Enhanced Tiling" is on. but "Tiling Popup" is off, and "Tile Groups" is off. [20:15] Ah, I see them now. I have "Hot Corner" off, and "Active Screen Edges" off. [20:16] i enabled the advanced tiling now. seems do replace the orher option maybe. i will see if i get any bugs [20:16] wayland with nvidia on 2 monitors here [20:16] I was able to turn on/off "Active Screen Edges" while enhanced tiling was enabled. [20:16] didn't seem to effect anything [20:17] i like the tiling popup one [20:18] Tiling popup really annoyed me when I first saw it. I'm so glad it was easy to turn off. You lose focus of the window you are resizing when you do it. I move things around so often it adds non-trivial overhead to my workflow. [20:24] I reinstalled gdm3 and it came back; ubuntu is really *rded [20:25] Hardly ever use resize. Just the snap left, right or top options. [20:39] how to set up focus-follows-mouse in 2404 ?? [20:43] scoffin, KDE settings [20:43] uhh.... don't think default ubuntu install uses kde ?? [20:45] I've always used KDE - best desktop. .. linux geeks use i3 - efficient keyboard controlled desktop .. etc [20:45] KDE is the only desktop for me, for sure [20:46] ok. does this mean that gnome does not support focus-follows-mouse ? [20:46] Google it [20:47] yeah, goggle has about 50 different ideas, none seem to work :-) [20:48] Whelp. I can confirm that the kernel that ships with 24.04 is broken for some AMD GPU based configurations. Both my laptop and desktop boot to black screen after first reboot unless you downgrade the kernel before you reboot again. [20:48] I use Arch linux + KDE on lenovo laptop [20:49] control panels that don't exist, additional apps that don't seem to exist, etc [20:49] The navi31 32 33 family cards have been updated in linux-firmware. Just need to be pulled by distro for updates. [20:50] I have Navi 21. [20:50] 6800XT in the Desktop [20:51] Black screen issue started last week after I updated the 24.04 nightly I was running. [20:51] roadkill, I compiled linux-tkg kernel on Arch [20:51] The last week a ton of commits to the firmware bin files was done. [20:52] Downgrading to 6.7.10 was enough to fix the issue on my end. [20:52] Highly frustrating, however. [20:53] Navi31 Navi33 roadkill you encountered this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/2063417 [20:53] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2063417 in linux-oem-6.5 (Ubuntu Jammy) "Fix system hang while entering suspend with AMD Navi3x graphics" [Undecided, In Progress] [20:54] with some fixes in the answers [20:54] LOL There is another one. [20:54] oerheks: The blackscreen hang occurs on reboots, not suspend. [20:54]
