[03:37] <xubuntu29d> how do you upgrade from xubuntu 22.04 to 24.04
[03:42] <xu-help60w> My upgrade to the new LTS failed. I’ve restarted and got chucked into initramfs. What’s the best way forward?
[03:53] <xu-help60w> Well, I might just assume that livebooting from USB then trying to backup my files is the safest bet.
[03:56] <Bashing-om> xu-help60w: Might work - boot to grub > advanced options > recovery console: 'network' to enable networking and 'dpkg' to try and repair packags.
[04:00] <xu-help60w-lptp> By "boot to grub" do you just mean liveboot from USB? Since restarting that computer into grub just chucks me into a command line without any clear options like that.
[04:10] <Bashing-om> xu-help60w: I would expect grub to load long before initramfs // you may have to get grub's attention by spamming the escape key (UEFI) soonest that the bios screen clears.
[04:11] <xu-help60w> Ye I did that to get its attention, it just chucked me into a grub CLI
[04:14] <xu-help60w> I can try some slightly different things; see if it actually gives me the grub menu
[04:14] <Bashing-om> xu-help60w: Sorry - my UEFI skills are not up to offering advice in this case :(
[04:15] <xu-help60w> Oh yeah there we go
[04:15] <xu-help60w> Got advanced options. No recovery console network, but I can try booting into recent kernels, recovery or no, or I can open the command line there.
[04:16] <xu-help60w> *recovery mode or without
[04:17] <xu-help60w> Recovery mode sounds unlikely to make things worse, might as well try it
[04:19] <xu-help60w> “Gave up waiting for root file system device”
[04:19] <xu-help60w> ”ZFS=rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_4ypfmd does not exist”
[04:22] <Bashing-om> xu-help60w: Once more - no experience either with ZFS / This too is beyond me :(
[04:22] <xu-help60w> Damn. Fair enough. Thanks for giving it a shot!
[04:23] <Bashing-om> xu-help60w: Others here may be of greater assistance :D
[04:37] <xu-help60w> Well, managed to liveboot. Now I can figure out how to mount and backup my stuff.
[04:41] <Bashing-om> xu-help60w: Safety is no accident :P
[05:10] <xu-help60w> Welp, now struggling to mount the encrypted zfs drive
[05:32] <xu-help60w> Google-fu ran out and I worry I may have just made things worse. Might just have to try professional tech support.
[06:27] <DarkTrick_> Question: xub 24.04 doesnt show applications during alt+tab application switch. Is that a feature?
[06:45] <xangua> DarkTrick_: you need to enable xfce window compositor to show previews
[06:47] <DarkTrick_> xangua, I'm ok without previews, I missing this thing: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36449926/38946492-e48b390e-4339-11e8-9247-1637bfbc962b.png
[06:47] <DarkTrick_> (the xfce version of it, of course)
[06:47] <xangua> That's not xfce (?)
[06:48] <xangua> Xfce settings>window manager tweaks>last tab 
[06:49] <xangua> If you mean alt+tab does nothing, then check in xfce settings>keyboard shortcuts 
[10:35] <karim> zbin
[13:42] <DarkTrick_> I know the screenshot is not xfce. But I think there was an xfce equivalent of that.
