[00:00] <enigma9o7> The only thiing newer on the ppa is the 555 which I think is beta anyway, and you're trying to avoid problems.
[00:00] <enigma9o7> If you and ravage are right, that your gpu is indeed supported by 550 driver (which I believe you are) and the bug is that its not being listed in ubuntu drivers as an option, then installing it manually should be fine anyway.
[00:01] <enigma9o7> But reporting the bug against ubuntu-drivers-common, that nvidia-550 isn't being listed even tho your gpu supports it, is a good idea.
[00:02] <ravage> it is not the tool's fault
[00:02] <ravage> it needs to be fixed in nvidia-driver package
[00:02] <enigma9o7> sudo apt install nvidia-graphics-drivers-550
[00:02] <ravage> the tool itselfs knows norhing about the supported cards
[00:03] <ravage> *nothing

[04:05] <TargetBall> I tried to install firefox and it didn't work?
[04:08] <xangua> Firefox comes installed in Ubuntu
[04:09] <TargetBall> Why does it say "firefox: command not found?"
[04:15] <toddc> TargetBall: sudo snap install firefox
[04:17] <TargetBall> Thanks toddc, Now I think it's installed but it's saying "Error no DISPLAY environment varible specified"
[04:23] <mybalzitch> why not start it from the shortcut inside your windowmanager
[04:23] <mybalzitch> instead of the terminal
[04:24] <enigma9o7> then you can't see the errors
[04:24] <TargetBall> windowmanager?
[04:25] <enigma9o7> is this ubuntu-server you're playing with targetball?
[04:26] <TargetBall> Yeah, how do I get to the desktop on this thing?
[04:26] <enigma9o7> You probably don't have a desktop environment installed.
[04:26] <enigma9o7> And I bet snap let you install firefox without one cuz it's not a regular deb package with system dependencies.
[04:27] <enigma9o7> You can install a desktop environment if you don't have one, targetball.
[04:27] <enigma9o7> If you want the full ubuntu desktop with all the bells and whistles "sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop"
[04:28] <enigma9o7> Alternatively you could install a simple window manager or a simpler desktop environment, etc.
[04:28] <TargetBall> I'm just fuckin with you lol, and I wanted to see how active IRC is.
[04:29] <TargetBall> Thanks for being a bro and reaching out. Have a good one.

[13:41] <zakaria> Hello people, I have reported a bug while ago in launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2061840 but there's no reaction from devs, maintainers... is it something normal? or I left something?
[13:42] <oerheks> for now, we have an outage
[13:48] <ogra_> zakaria, looks like a kernel bug, you should try to ask in the #ubuntu-kernel channel
[13:48] <zakaria> Alright, thanks for the information
[14:30] <pycurious> any ideas why this is hanging: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A1715D88E1DF1F24 ?
[14:31] <pycurious> gpg: keyserver receive failed: Network is unreachable
[14:32] <lotuspsychje> pycurious: ubuntu.com has some down issues atm
[14:33] <UnivrslSuprBox> You can see the status of many Canonical-provided services at https://status.canonical.com/ (keyserver is currently down)
[14:51] <pycurious> @lotuspsychje Thanks
[17:25] <Guest77> I'm on ubuntu 22.04 LTS. In some earlier version of evince I remember seeing a "back" button I could use after clicking an internal hyperlink in a PDF file. Is there any way to step back in the navigation history in the current version?
[17:29] <Guest77> Yes, alt-p. Nothing without a keyboard though :-(
[17:37] <lotuspsychje> zakaria: the developer set your bug to incomplete to test a latest noble kernel, after that you need to set your bug status back to 'new'
[17:38] <zakaria> what should I do ? please would you clarify ? @lotuspsychje
[17:38] <lotuspsychje> zakaria: and what ogra_ stated would indeed also help, ping the kernel devs about it
[17:39] <guest754> apt install tor-browser doesn't find what I need. Is tor-browser available under a different name?
=== jan is now known as Guest3239
[17:40] <lotuspsychje> zakaria: ontop your bug under the 'status' click incomplete, and change it back to 'new'
[17:40] <zakaria> even I reported while ago ?
[17:41] <lotuspsychje> zakaria: status incomplete means the developer needs more info, wich you gave/tested right
[17:42] <lotuspsychje> change back to new, will notify the developer
[17:45] <zakaria> DONE :)
[17:45] <lotuspsychje> ok tnx zakaria and good luck with it
[17:45] <zakaria> I hope they react with it, I feel that I'm banned for using Ubuntu Noble (now I'm on openSUSE Leap 15.6)
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> zakaria: banned?
[17:46] <zakaria> not literally lol
[17:47] <zakaria> just unusable
[17:48] <guest754> ubuntu is unusable? really?
[17:48] <enigma9o7> guest, i would suggest searching, I dunno myself, but `apt search tor` might help find what you need if its in repos
[17:48] <zakaria> for me Ubuntu Noble (and Debian 12), I can't use it(them) but other distros works fine
[17:49] <lotuspsychje> zakaria: lets assume its kernel 6.8 series affecting you, maybe its an idea to test some !mainline higher kernel versions
[17:52] <zakaria> I have use it for PopOS, I could even boot for newer kernel, now I'm in openSUSE with6.4.0-150600.21-default works fine
[17:52] <zakaria> and Fedora 40 also worked good (plugin and plugout the power supply cable)
[17:53] <guest754> but this channel is for the support of the greatest and best distribution, UwUntu
[17:56] <zakaria> I know, my bug within Ubuntu
[17:57] <zakaria> I were Ubuntu user for a long time, but using Noble (and Debian 12) ruined my productivity
[17:57] <lotuspsychje> !discuss | zakaria
[17:57] <ubottu> zakaria: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks!
[18:02] <zakaria> does the last kernel in mainline works fine ?
[18:03] <lotuspsychje> zakaria: mainline kernels are for testing purposes, not daily use, experiment a few of them
[18:10] <Steeve> How do the HWE kernels get enabled / turned on? I just realized that 2 of my laptops have entirely different kernels, even though both are on 22.04. One has 6.5 and another has 5.15
[18:10] <lotuspsychje> !hwe | Steeve
[18:10] <ubottu> Steeve: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[18:11] <Steeve> Hoe does it get enabled though? Does the installer do it automatically if it infers that you have "newer" hardware?
[18:12] <Steeve> Also that link is giving me a 503
[18:12] <lotuspsychje> Steeve: there is some maintanance going on today
[18:13] <lotuspsychje> Steeve: when HWE kernel gets available for a release, they will offer it in the new iso or the user can grab it manualy with apt
[18:14] <Steeve> oh, interesting. Maybe I used a newer point release iso to do the 2nd install
[18:14] <lotuspsychje> Steeve: so stock kernel vs HWE kernel depends on wich iso you still got
[18:14] <Steeve> makes sense, thanks

[19:09] <feurig> morning
[19:09] <feurig> any idea how to get rid of snapd if we aren't using snap.
[19:09] <feurig> any idea how to get rid of snapd if we aren't using snap?
[19:10] <feurig> its hanging up the update process for no reason.
[19:10] <feurig> mostly i am in a loop.
[19:12] <feurig> dpkg --configure -a
[19:12] <feurig> Setting up snapd (2.63+22.04) ...
[19:13] <feurig> hangs forever.
[19:13] <feurig> but i cant remove the thing until this goes away. #nopolitewords
[19:13] <feurig> I am not using snaps for anything. its just a bonus of running ubuntu
[19:15] <feurig> and more importantly I can update or install anything.
[19:15] <mgedmin> any ideas why it's hanging?  do you see any processes using CPU in top?
[19:16] <mgedmin> maybe run pstree -a and see what subprocesses dpkg has started?
[19:16] <mgedmin> some of the preinstalled default packages in ubuntu are snaps, like firefox, or snap-store
[19:16] <mgedmin> I think you can apt remove snapd if you plan to install a web browser from elsewhere
[19:17] <feurig> i just want it to go away snaps suck. I only use them for lxd because Its the only way it works.
[19:17] <mgedmin> I'm not sure what happens if you try to apt remove a half-installed package
[19:17] <feurig> I cant apt remove snapd because of the the above
[19:17] <mgedmin> does it hang in the prerm/postrm, or does it try to configure it before removal?
[19:18] <feurig> root@virgil:~# apt remove snapd
[19:18] <feurig> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[19:18] <mgedmin> ah
[19:19] <mgedmin> so when you do the configure thing, try the pstree -a (or just ps f) in a different terminal to see what is going on
[19:23] <mgedmin> I see that
[19:23] <mgedmin> I see that /var/lib/dpkg/info/snapd.postinst does _a lot_; it's hard to guess which part freezes
[19:25] <feurig>         ├─sshd───sshd───bash───dpkg─┬─sh───sh───dpkg-status
[19:25] <feurig>         │                           └─snapd.postinst───deb-systemd-inv───systemctl───systemd-tty-ask
[19:26] <feurig> mgedmin: yeah and there is no --verbose or -vvv to help
[19:27] <sixwheeledbeast> this is 22.04?
[19:29] <feurig> yeah. 24.04 broke a bunch of stuff on this particular container.
[19:30] <feurig> mgedmin: Thanks. added exit 0 to the top of /var/lib/dpkg/info/snapd.postinst and apt removed it.
[19:31] <sixwheeledbeast> It is possible to remove but you will have to fix whatever apt is complaining about. It will complain it's missing and/or be re-installed without further hackery.
[19:31] <feurig> it wasnt possible to remove until i hacked the post install.
[19:32] <sixwheeledbeast> remove --purge worked fine when i did it.
[19:32] <feurig> sixwheeledbeast: Thanks. I will try that next time
[19:33] <sixwheeledbeast> You'll have to setup a preference to pin it in apt if you don't want it to return. also expect apparmor to complain on boot now.
[19:34] <sixwheeledbeast> you can resolve that in the usual apparmor symlinking to disable way.

[19:48] <feurig> sixwheeledbeast: thanks again.
[19:49] <feurig> mgedmin: same. thanks.
[19:49] <sixwheeledbeast> no idea if it works for 24.04 yet...
[19:50] <feurig> 24.04 has some zingers. The security tightening foobarred a bunch of my privilaged containers and netplan broke a bunch of my servers where I had to actually recover them from the console.
[19:50] <feurig> Guess thats what happens when you pay more attention to workstations than servers.
