test925anyone know how upgrades from 23.10 to 24.04 have been going? I guess #ubuntu is more likely to hear about failure than success, so maybe it's a useless question.04:07

adacGuys I"m on jammy and suddenly my slack stopped working and it seems to be this issue: . https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/issue-starting-slack-snap-cannot-update-snap-namespace/39916 Also my chromium got problems, this I could temporarly resolve with this approach: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/206187607:22
-ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2061876 in Ubuntu "snap-update-ns failed with code 1 when user home has a trailing /" [Undecided, Confirmed]07:22

nteodosioadac, what is 'snap info snapd | grep refresh-date'?07:47
adac@nteodosio https://codepad.site/edit/aj9gru4008:35
adacgrep didn"t work was empty08:35
nteodosioOutput seems to be cropped, try 'snap info snapd | nc termbin.com 9999'.08:38
nteodosioadac, the idea is to check whether Snapd was recently updated, and if that matches your percpetion of "suddenly", open a bug against Snapd.08:39
adacnteodosio, https://termbin.com/hw9e08:42
nteodosioadac, hmm that is so weird, it looks like you don't even have snapd installed. I guess it is not listed in 'snap list', right? What if you do 'snap install snapd'?08:44
adacnteodosio, it seems that snapd is installed via apt imo08:54
adacii  snapd                                         2.62+22.04                                  amd64        Daemon and tooling that enable snap packages08:54
nteodosioadac, I'd have thought Snapd were a snap and the snapd deb was only a for setting it up, but I can see it's a "real" package... So idk.09:11
adaccould be yes. But how strange is that that snapd is not even installed09:12
adaci mean now it sems to be installed after executing you command09:12
adacslack is again working09:13
nteodosio¯\_(ツ)_/¯09:13
adacmagic!09:28
ogra_the snapd deb needs to give you a fully working snap system so "snap install " works09:28
ogra_but it indeed has some limitations09:28
adacanyway. Thanks for the help nteodosio!09:28
nteodosioYou're welcome!09:33

dontyouloveshor-how do i install firefox from a ppa and not from the original ubuntu sources?09:44
dontyouloveshor-i added the ppa, but obviously apt get install looks for the ubuntu lunar sources first09:45
tarzeaudontyouloveshor-: i have these notes: https://github.com/alexmyczko/autoexec.bat/blob/master/config.sys/ubuntu-remove-snap-firefox09:53
tarzeaudontyouloveshor-: don't use ppa anymore, they have their own repository now09:54
khazakarIf you want to replace firefox snap, then I can recommend offical mozilla repository at least09:55
khazakarhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions09:56
dontyouloveshor-thx will try ina few miutes09:57
ogra_dontyouloveshor-, note that we do not support the deb versions here, you'll need to ask mozilla if you run into any probs with their package10:09
dontyouloveshor-thats fine10:10
ogra_right, just pointing it out ... (the snap gets a ton of testing by our desktop team against all possible targets and release, the debs do not get any of that)10:11

xvxIs there a setting to expose an app's windows from all workspaces? When clicking an app icon in the dock, it shows the windows only open from one workspace (so to find a particular window, got to manually go through each workspace - even workspaces where the app isn't even in!)11:01
lotuspsychjexvx: see dconf-editor for all sorts of tweaks on your system11:04
neoliI need help about dpkg-reconfigure, do I need to append something to reconfigure all packages?11:05
lotuspsychjexvx: i think there's a setting for click behaviour on dock items11:05
xvxlotuspsychje: the Ubuntu Dock settings shows an options for "click action", which is set to "focus or app spread", but I don't see a way to adjust what "app spread" shows11:07
lotuspsychjeyeah dont think you can adjust those click actions11:07
lotuspsychjexvx: whats your endgoal exactly? what do you want be able to do?11:08
xvxIdeally like for Mac, where it exposes all windows of an app when I click on the icon (regardless of what workspace they're in). If not possible, at least don't show blank workspaces that the app isn't open while I swipe through workspaces11:11
lotuspsychjexvx: there's a handy workspace indicator if you like, you can click your workspaces easy, and see your apps on it11:12
lotuspsychjexvx: something like in the right upper corner; https://i.sstatic.net/HoDg0.jpg11:13
xvxI have that already lol, doesn't indicate which app the windows are though. And besides, this is better UX https://techwiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Macbook-App-Switcher-toggle-window.jpg11:18
lotuspsychjeisnt that just what the activities button does?11:19
ogra_neoli, i think you nowadays want "dpkg --configure -a" instead of dpkg-reconfigure (which dropped its --all option in 2016)11:20
ogra_else you'd have to script a loop to iterate over all packages, then you can use dpkg-reconfigure ...11:20
xvxlotuspsychje: That's shows all windows in the current workspace. I want to view windows for one app from all workspaces11:21
xvx(without having to manually swipe through each workspace)11:22
lotuspsychjexvx: activities show all apps from all workspaces11:22
lotuspsychjexvx: you got several windows of the same app you spread around different workspaces?11:23
xvxnot for me (I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 in case that's different)11:23
xvxyes11:23
ogra_there is most likely a gnome extension for this ...11:24
lotuspsychjexvx: check gnome settings/multitasking to enable activites left upper corner11:24
lotuspsychjethere are tons of gnome extensions on the ubuntu repos too11:25
xvxmy activities button in Ubuntu 24.04 is a series of dots (indicating each workspace)11:28
ogra_the activities button is in the top left of the screen (in the small top panel)11:29
ogra_not the one bottom left ...11:29
lotuspsychjexvx you can change its behaviour in gnome settings11:30
xvxhave you seen Ubuntu 24.04 ogra_?11:31
ogra_nope ... but i wouldnt expect such an essential gnome feature to vanish11:31
xvxI think just the graphic of it changed, not vanished11:32
xvxbut its functionality is ok, it's just the "app spread" when searching for an app's window I wanted to adjust11:33
ogra_aha ... so it is the old activities button by default *until* you add more than one workspace, then it turns into a row of dots ...11:39
ogra_how "intuitive" 😛11:39

neoliparole media player wont play any sound (vlc does). what package do I need?12:25
genericumwhere do I find partition information in a *.vmdk file ?12:46
neoliis it true that apt is being deprecated in favor of snap?13:19
leftyfbneoli: no13:20
neoliso the best approach to install something is simply to select the highr version number one, right?13:21
leftyfbanything from the ubuntu repo's, yes. Though what are you using to determine version numbers?13:22
neolicli and the application's name13:22
leftyfbwhich cli?13:23
neoliterminal? I dont know how its called13:26
leftyfbneoli: what command are you running?13:26
neoliopenttd13:29
leftyfbneoli: what command are you running to detemrine version numbers of packages?13:29
neoliopenttd, I opened a terminal and wrote that, I got a snap candidate and an apt candidate13:30
leftyfbneoli: you opened a terminal and wrote "openttd" and it showed you a snap candidate and an apt candidate?13:31
leftyfbneoli: openttd is a "reimplementation of the Microprose game Transport Tycoon Deluxe". It will not tell you anything about package versions of snap nor apt13:32
neolinot on my end13:38
leftyfbno kidding13:38
ogra_leftyfb, command-not-found will offer you snaps and debs13:46
leftyfbogra_: I was trying to determine what they were using to find packages and versions. If they used apt or snap, neither will tell you(clearly) package versions of the other13:47
ogra_leftyfb, right. they obviously used command-not-found in this case 😉13:48
ogra_(try it)13:48
leftyfbogra_: command_not_found only finds installed binaries. Nothing to do with package names or versions13:48
leftyfbI prefer type -a13:48
ogra_type in "openttd" and hit enter13:49
leftyfboh, interesting13:49
ogra_it gives you the versions of the available packages13:49
ogra_and the install command needed13:49
leftyfbI would NOT recommend that being the way people determine packages and version numbers13:49
leftyfbit assumes a lot13:50
leftyfbuseful if you get the binary name right, it matches what's in c-n-f's database and the package isn't installed13:50
ogra_well, it just scrpes databases13:50
ogra_*scrapes13:50
leftyfbright13:50
ogra_the snap doesnt seem well maintained though ... while there seem to be auto-builds of newer versions (13.x), the last release to the stable channel was 2y ago13:52
ogra_(yet it is still a minor revision newer than the deb)13:52
meustationhaving been gifted a second laptop, I now have two machines running the 22.04.4 LTS. strange funny thing is that with my usb b&w printer, one manages to get the job done, while the other acts like everything went fine, but the printer remains still as if nobody asked it to do anything. machine that prints being an Asus, while the one that does not was made by Lenovo. no idea why such a thing would happen.14:07

ubottueasyme: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo17:09

chonkinAlright I'm on a work computer with  Ubuntu.  It has been freezing on boot. Problem unresolved since Friday of last week.   Dell XPS Desktop tower.  Core i9.  32 GB RAM.    Nvidia RTX 3090.    Ubuntu 22.04-1   kern 6.5.0-35-generic.  KDE Plasma 5.15 (?).     I have boot logs and journalctrl logs.21:16
chonkinhttps://bpa.st/ACSQ21:17
chonkinI'm in support with a perosn outside IRC.   What we have discovered so far is this machine is not technically "frozen".  The cursor is blinking meaning it  waiting for something to happen.21:17
LuckyManchonkin, check out your nvidia drivers21:22
LuckyManpress CTRL+ALT+F1 or F2, login and check the drivers21:23
chonkinOkay so if I try CTRL+ALT+F4  or such the cursor will freeze.21:23

cbreakchonkin: don't know if that helps you, but I read that adding "nosplash" to the kernel commandline helps.22:46
chonkincbreak lets see22:47
cbreakI've also read people suspect there's an nvidia driver problem with these symptoms22:49
cbreakI had something similar when upgrading to 24.04, but it showed itself as not showing any boot output at all (even though I normally boot with verbose=4)22:50
cbreakchonkin: ah, have you tried to switch to an other TTY with ctrl-alt-f4 or something?22:57

chonkin(this is scpeculation on my part but)   This computer was working perfectl until a compile of a weird hw model  reported that   "Vivado has run out of memory".  What I did next was close Vivado, close matlab, close similunk and close geany as programs.     However, instead of rebooting the computer like a sane person, I rebooted using a qdbus command.  After that I have never been able to get back in.23:02
