astory | hi channel. I upgraded to 24.04.01 a few days ago from 22.something LTS and since then have been getting hard crashes while doing things that are slightly graphically intensive, like zoom or gaming. The logs I can find seem to consistently mention something inside the gnome-shell ubuntu-appindicators extension https://pastebin.com/LRrm8DDc. Not sure what to do next :/ | 00:36 |
---|---|---|
sarnold | astory: it's completely unrelated to your problem, but you might want to take a look at https://github.com/snapcrafters/discord/issues/23 when you get a chance | 00:38 |
-ubottu:#ubuntu- Issue 23 in snapcrafters/discord "AppArmor denial cluttering systemd logs" [Open] | 00:38 | |
sarnold | astory: the usual approach to gnome crashes is disabling all the extensions, trying things, enabling them one at a time, or in small bunches, and trying to narrow down one that gives problems, or a combination that gives problems | 00:39 |
astory | I might just move to cinnamon - is that likely to work? | 00:39 |
astory | I don't recall adding extensions to gnome | 00:39 |
astory | ah but I can disable appindicators | 00:40 |
sarnold | yeah switching to cinnamon feels like it might do the trick, it's hard for me ot be sure, but it feels like it's still based on older gnome stuff, and different enough to not use these extensions, right? | 00:40 |

Square2 | poor astory, seems he was unaware of the massive(?) 24.04.1 problems | 00:57 |
astory | switching to cinnamon appears to have worked, fingers crossed. It's also a lot faster. | 01:05 |
sarnold | astory: yay! :D thanks for reporting back | 01:09 |

pycurious | how do i figure out if ubuntu will work on this mb: https://dutchieetech.com/gigabyte-mc62-g40-amd-ryzen-threadripper-pro-motherboard-review/ | 03:02 |
enigma9o7 | live boot and see? | 03:16 |
blahdeblah | enigma9o7: Presumably pycurious wants to know before purchasing it... | 03:31 |
enigma9o7 | Valid point. | 03:32 |
blahdeblah | pycurious: If it doesn't appear in https://ubuntu.com/certified, probably the best you can do is find something in there which uses the same chipset and CPU | 03:33 |
blahdeblah | If it has been released in the last year, I would generally recommend against purchasing it unless it appears in that list. | 03:34 |
highrate | i'd guess the linux kernel can handle that type of hardware | 03:35 |
blahdeblah | Even sometimes things that do appear in the list aren't great. The laptop I'm typing this on is a Lenovo L14 with a Ryzen 7 Pro 5875U and it's got significant GPU wake from sleep bugs whereas my home laptop is only a slightly earlier model and it's near perfect. | 03:36 |

slingamn | i successfully booted into the lubuntu 24.04.1 live media | 03:53 |
slingamn | the install doesn't boot, though | 03:53 |
Square2 | Should I be able to do x11 forwarding (ssh -X) while running the command ssh -X command on a wayland machine? | 03:54 |
slingamn | this is a Macbook 4,1 ; someone else thought it was a kernel issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/1516892/ubuntu-24-04-not-booting-on-macbook-4-1 but since i booted the 6.8 kernel from the lubuntu live media i guess there's more to the story? | 03:54 |
enigma9o7 | hmmm good question. i'd try it, and if it didnt work, open an XWayland window and ssh -X from there. | 03:54 |
enigma9o7 | course the machine you're ssh into would have to be runing X | 03:55 |
enigma9o7 | What does not boot mean sligamn? | 03:55 |
enigma9o7 | ah ok your post explains | 03:56 |
enigma9o7 | that usually means graphics issue (black screen with cursor) and you should be able to get to tty, right? | 03:56 |

caterhamfan | tomreyn, I mean PGP | 10:45 |
caterhamfan | I have conflicting values, so I cannot use software updater or package manager. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2500542 | 10:46 |
tomreyn | caterhamfan: what does file /etc/apt/keyrings/boot-repair.gpg say? | 11:13 |
caterhamfan | When I try opening it using sudo nano, its completely blank | 11:17 |
caterhamfan | in terminal | 11:17 |
tomreyn | and if you run the "file" command on it? | 11:20 |
tomreyn | no need for sudo there, i would think | 11:20 |
caterhamfan | Doh, amateur here | 11:21 |
caterhamfan | file /etc/apt/keyrings/boot-repair.gpg | 11:21 |
caterhamfan | (No such file or directory) | 11:21 |
caterhamfan | /etc/apt/keyrings/boot-repair.gpg: cannot open `/etc/apt/keyrings/boot-repair.gpg' (No such file or directory) | 11:21 |
tomreyn | hmm, so it looks as if the key was not downloaded for some reason | 11:23 |
caterhamfan | Hmm okay, how could I download it or rectify that? | 11:25 |
tomreyn | wget 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com//pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3e687364d2eddb5f' -O /tmp/0x308901CC3AD15B3AB64CC0EF3E687364D2EDDB5F; gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/boot-repair-keyring.gpg --import /tmp/0x308901CC3AD15B3AB64CC0EF3E687364D2EDDB5F; sudo gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/boot-repair-keyring.gpg --export --output /etc/apt/keyrings/boot-repair.gpg | 11:28 |

BluesKaj | Hi all | 11:34 |
caterhamfan | tomreyn, thank you but this has not worked :( | 11:39 |
tomreyn | caterhamfan: repeat the last command and add --armor to it | 11:44 |
caterhamfan | to the end? | 11:44 |
tomreyn | sudo gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/boot-repair-keyring.gpg --export --armor --output /etc/apt/keyrings/boot-repair.gpg | 11:44 |
caterhamfan | still get conflicting values :( | 11:46 |
tomreyn | hmm, can you share the output on a textual pastebin? | 11:46 |
tomreyn | and please share the command you run, too | 11:46 |
tomreyn | caterhamfan: or you could just remove the ppa and add it again using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair | 11:50 |
tomreyn | sometimes i just think waaaay too complicated | 11:51 |
caterhamfan | haha i was just adding it all to pastebin | 11:52 |
caterhamfan | how do i remove the ppa? | 11:52 |
tomreyn | from memory: sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair | 11:52 |
tomreyn | or maybe it's: sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair | 11:52 |
tomreyn | either should work | 11:53 |
caterhamfan | tomreyn, you are a legend | 11:59 |

theYACReaderGuy | Im trying to build an app from sources (the app is yacreader) and I want to make the app use 7zip or libarchive (if I download the app it use unarr and unarr does not support RAR5) | 12:24 |
theYACReaderGuy | Im on Ubuntu 24.04 | 12:24 |
theYACReaderGuy | Can anyone help me do this ? | 12:24 |
lotuspsychje | theYACReaderGuy: there are deb packages and flatpak on their web if you like; https://www.yacreader.com/downloads | 12:28 |
leftyfb | theYACReaderGuy: this channel is for support with ubuntu. Not how to modify 3rd party appplication code. I would file a bug with the application to request your feature or learn the language the application is written in and how to make the changes you're looking for | 12:29 |
theYACReaderGuy | lotuspsychje: those are using unarr | 12:29 |
tomreyn | theYACReaderGuy: i'm not 100% certain i'm getting what your plans are. changing how a software works or what it can and cannot do/support is more than just a matter of rebuilding it from source. you need to learn programming for this. there is #programming where you may get started with this. | 12:29 |
tomreyn | (and learning/teaching programming is out of scope of this channel, which is an ubuntu support place) | 12:30 |

caterhamfan | tomreyn, sorry your commands did not work | 12:41 |
caterhamfan | tomreyn, same outcome. Had to do - sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair again | 12:41 |
tomreyn | caterhamfan: sorry to hear this. i doubt it's the exact same output | 12:42 |

caterhamfan | https://bpa.st/RTD3K here ya go | 12:44 |
caterhamfan | I may be gone for some time but I'll be back :) Thank you so much for your help | 12:45 |
tomreyn | oh so it fails to remove the ppa, that's such an old bug... | 12:46 |
tomreyn | i guess you need to remove it manually then | 12:47 |
caterhamfan | Oh right, is that a long process? | 12:47 |
tomreyn | look for filenames and file contents referring to boot-repair in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and /etc/apt/keyrings/ and delete the related lines of text or files. | 12:49 |
tomreyn | should not take long, probably just one or two files | 12:49 |
caterhamfan | tomreyn, what command to do so I tried looking before but I could not find any text in those files using sudo nano or sudo gedit | 12:52 |
tomreyn | find /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ /etc/apt/keyrings/ -iname '*yannbuntu*' | 12:54 |

tomreyn | caterhamfan: and: grep -Fi yannbuntu /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:55 |
tomreyn | nightnotdark: do you have backups? what happens when you try? what did you expect to happen? what happened instead? | 12:56 |
caterhamfan | sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair | 12:56 |
caterhamfan | opps | 12:56 |
caterhamfan | I'll be back a bit later. Thank you | 12:57 |
nightnotdark | tomreyn idts i have backups, i dont really know | 12:59 |
nightnotdark | well, i expected the drive to shrink but i couldnt shrink it | 12:59 |
nightnotdark | thats what happened | 13:00 |
tomreyn | what does "idts" mean? | 13:00 |
nightnotdark | i dont think so | 13:01 |
tomreyn | so you don't really know if you have backups, then it's same to assume you don't have any, or none that you could recover from | 13:01 |
tomreyn | so backup first of all | 13:01 |
tomreyn | !backup | 13:01 |
ubottu | 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 | 13:01 |
nightnotdark | I dont wanna backup my system | 13:02 |
nightnotdark | when did i say i want to | 13:02 |
tomreyn | that's unless you have nothing to backup because all your data and configurations are not worth it | 13:02 |
nightnotdark | bro i just want to shrink my file | 13:02 |
nightnotdark | my drive, i mean | 13:02 |
tomreyn | you want to rearrange partitions and file systems | 13:02 |
nightnotdark | no, i wanna shrink my partition and create a new drive out of the unallocated | 13:03 |
tomreyn | that's a change which has a high potential to cause data loss | 13:03 |
tomreyn | thus i recommend backups. but you can choose that you don't need any, of yourse, that's your choice. | 13:03 |
tomreyn | *of course | 13:03 |
nightnotdark | i dont want backup | 13:04 |
nightnotdark | i dont have stuff on xubuntu | 13:04 |
tomreyn | were there any error messages when you were using gparted? how were you using it? | 13:04 |
nightnotdark | no error messages | 13:05 |
nightnotdark | i want to my main drive | 13:05 |
nightnotdark | and clicked on it --> rezize | 13:05 |
nightnotdark | and when i was trying to drag , it didnt work, and i saw that minimum size and maximum size which can be rezized were the same | 13:05 |
nightnotdark | both were 121028 MiB , and my drive capacity is 121028 MiB | 13:06 |
tomreyn | you need to do the resizing from a system booted from a different disk | 13:07 |
nightnotdark | i will do a livecd boot then | 13:08 |
tomreyn | you can use the ubuntu installer/live iso, written to a usb stick/ssd | 13:08 |
nightnotdark | with linux mint | 13:08 |
tomreyn | we only support ubuntu here, i'm afraid | 13:08 |
nightnotdark | thats fine | 13:08 |
nightnotdark | ik how to do it from linux mint | 13:08 |
tomreyn | ok! | 13:08 |
tomreyn | good luck. | 13:08 |
nightnotdark | but its "supposed to be done with another OS" righ | 13:08 |
nightnotdark | thats all right | 13:09 |
tomreyn | whose quote is "supposed to be done with another OS"? | 13:09 |
nightnotdark | mine | 13:09 |
nightnotdark | haha | 13:10 |
tomreyn | hmm, then i seem to not understand what you're meaning to say. | 13:10 |
nightnotdark | im supposed to be shrinking the drive from another OS right | 13:11 |
nightnotdark | from a liveos | 13:11 |
tomreyn | <tomreyn> you need to do the resizing from a system booted from a different disk | 13:11 |
tomreyn | it doesn't need to be a different OS, it can be linux, it can be ubuntu, it can be xubuntu, it can be the same version of xubuntu. just can't boot from the same disk your normal installation is on. | 13:12 |
tomreyn | so, yes, a usb booted live system is a good choice | 13:12 |
tomreyn | and if you're looking for support from this channel when doing the resize, then it should be a supported ubuntu live system | 13:13 |
tomreyn | (xubuntu works, too) | 13:13 |
nightnotdark | okay | 13:16 |
nightnotdark | im just gonna be usb booting a live system | 13:17 |

caterhamfan | tomreyn, do you know which commands to open /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and /etc/apt/keyrings/ in a text editor in the terminal? thanks | 15:53 |
PeGaSuS | it needs to be a GUI text editor? the `nano filename` allows you to edit the file directly in the command line | 15:54 |
caterhamfan | When I just nano, its shows no text in the file.; It says its a directory. It shows up blank | 15:56 |
PeGaSuS | yes, I kinda missed that they were directories. you can `cd` to the directory and then `ls` to see the folder contents. or `ls /path/to/directory` | 15:58 |
caterhamfan | PeGaSuS, thanks so much for that. Manage to solve it :) | 16:08 |
PeGaSuS | caterhamfan: glad I could help! :D | 16:08 |

manwhowouldbekin | Hi all. Yesterday (during a discussion here) I discovered that my Ubuntu 24.04 was running kernel 5.18. I managed to install the proper 6.8 version. However, whenever I boot with that kernel, my screen is distorted and has a green hue. I have tried re-installing Nvidia drivers to no avail. They seem to work when checked using nvidia-smi. How can I fix this? | 17:04 |
manwhowouldbekin | In case it matters, NVidia driver version is 470 | 17:05 |

tomreyn | 22.04 -> 24.04.1 upgrade https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2024-September/006225.html | 19:14 |
tomreyn | manwhowouldbekin: series 470 is the oldest (proprietary) "nvidia" driver still supported. if you have older hardware and don't want to switch to nouveau, you'll likely have to live with such issues. for newer hardware you can try a newer driver series. | 19:18 |
tomreyn | specifically, series 535 and 550 are also available in 24.04. | 19:26 |
manwhowouldbekin | @tomreyn, Thanks! While trying to fix this, I tried version 550, but that didn't appear to work. It allow me to move screen resolution above 1280x720. What about nouveau? Don't know much about it. Is it expected to work with newer kernels and older hardware? Or is getting a newer GPU the most likely path to fixing this? | 19:26 |
manwhowouldbekin | *didn't allow me ... | 19:27 |
tomreyn | if you can't get more than VESA screen resolution, it means the driver isn't working, and failsafe mode is active. | 19:28 |
manwhowouldbekin | That is what I figured ... | 19:28 |
tomreyn | nouveau only implements some parts of accelerations available with nvidia graphics hardware, and may not work well with all hardware. but you can try... | 19:29 |
tomreyn | it should generally work with older hardware and current kernels | 19:30 |
tomreyn | current hardware is more likely to work well with current drivers. but i won't guarantee anything, especially not in nvidia land. | 19:31 |

squirrel | how do I choose the partition to install to? | 20:33 |
squirrel | no matter what I do "next" is greyed out | 20:33 |
pycurious | wow - gigabyte technical support is really problematic. Am trying to wait for more than 30 minutes already. Waiting :) | 20:38 |
enigma9o7 | It used to be tech support on toll free numbers at least cost the company to leave you on hold, but these days, with free long distancing calling, etc, they have no reason to hurry besides customer satisfaction. | 20:47 |
squirrel | what's an alternative to ubuntu if I only care about driver support and unproblemness? | 20:50 |
squirrel | ubuntu installer crashes and I just want to give up | 20:50 |
squirrel | and why on earth the installer wants to format all drivers?! | 20:52 |
squirrel | drives* | 20:52 |
enigma9o7 | Pretty sure it doesn't want to, andwould require manual mode to do so. | 20:52 |
squirrel | well I'm in manual mode and that's the default | 20:53 |
squirrel | ... but now I clicked back and next and now it's not the default | 20:53 |
enigma9o7 | What do you actually want to do? | 20:53 |
enigma9o7 | The easiest way is just leave unpartitioned space before starting the installer, then it'll offer to use that automatically. | 20:54 |
squirrel | I want to test a game in steam | 20:54 |
enigma9o7 | I meant in regards to drives and partitions. | 20:54 |
pycurious | k- gigabyte picked up - and it looks like its good support :) They are checking if the MB will work with Ubuntu 24.04 :) | 20:55 |
squirrel | I was advised that I could do that without installing ubuntu but I'm getting an error regarding user namespaces so I tried to install Ubuntu on a disk | 20:55 |
squirrel | but I don't want it to touch my main disk | 20:55 |
squirrel | okay imma YOLO it | 20:57 |
squirrel | had to disable internet access because the installer crashes if internet is enabled | 20:57 |
squirrel | the installer finished but the system just dies completely 5 seconds into booting | 21:10 |

caterhamfan63 | Hello all, Anyone familiar with bootrepair? | 21:30 |
toddc | caterhamfan63: I have used it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 21:31 |
ArchDave | Last time I tried to use boot repair it wasn't even still in the repo ... wasn't being updated | 21:35 |
caterhamfan63 | Ah, I am trying to use it to fix some boot issues im facing | 21:36 |
caterhamfan63 | ubuntu keeps booting into busy box | 21:36 |
caterhamfan63 | exactly the same as this | 21:37 |

Liquid | hello when installing balena etcher i seem to be missing dependencies that are not able to be downloaded via apt when googling the issue, it appears to be the same issue as this. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1506762/error-while-installing-balena-etcher | 22:13 |
Liquid | the fix listed below does not seem to work. | 22:14 |
enigma9o7 | I looked at your link, it says "Best option is to use appimage package or alternative tool" | 22:15 |
enigma9o7 | Is that what you tried? | 22:15 |
enigma9o7 | What happens when you try the appimage? Did you consider another tool, what is the task you're trying to do? If its just a one time write an iso to usb, could just use dd... | 22:16 |
Liquid | it requires me to run it with the --no-sandbox command and it just stays hung | 22:16 |
Liquid | im trying to flash windows 10 on a usb stick in order to reinstall | 22:17 |
enigma9o7 | I'd personally use a different 3rd party solution, ventoy. You format your usb stick with ventoy, then can just copy the windows iso (or any iso(s)) to it, then when you boot it ventoy gives you a list of isos and you pick which one to boot. | 22:18 |
enigma9o7 | I have no idea if windows iso works with dd tho, as I've never tried that, but couldn't hurt to try. "sudo dd if=/path/to/windows.iso of=/dev/sdc" IF sdc is your usb drive. | 22:18 |
enigma9o7 | be very careful the of is set write if using dd, wouldn't wanna nuke a drive you didn't intend to | 22:19 |
enigma9o7 | set right (correctly) I mean | 22:20 |
Liquid | id prefer something with a gui | 22:20 |
toddc | I know dd will fail I tried that last week and had to use another windows pc last week I tried balena on windows and ran into new bug but was able to use another pc | 22:20 |
Liquid | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1511654/how-to-make-balena-etcher-work-in-ubuntu-24-04 | 22:22 |
Liquid | does this work around look good? | 22:22 |
Liquid | ahh it did work | 22:24 |
Liquid | any help with this? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/WTybyKDS/image.png | 23:06 |

tomreyn | Liquid: man 8 apt-secure | 23:09 |
tomreyn | Guest59: please note this channel is about ubuntu support | 23:10 |
tomreyn | Liquid: your apt update issue is that you have two PPAs configured, ppa:gezakovacs/ppa and ppa:n-muench/programs-ppa , which either do not / no longer exist or, more likely, do not support your current ubuntu release. you will need to disable those, by at least commenting out all lines in the respective files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory. you can also disable these PPAs using the software-manager GUI. | 23:14 |
tomreyn | i mean the "software-properties" GUI | 23:15 |
tomreyn | (the fact that they don't provide a Release file at the accessed location indicates that any packages they may provide are not available for your release) | 23:16 |
