astoryhi 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
sarnoldastory: 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 chance00:38
-ubottu:#ubuntu- Issue 23 in snapcrafters/discord "AppArmor denial cluttering systemd logs" [Open]00:38
sarnoldastory: 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 problems00:39
astoryI might just move to cinnamon - is that likely to work?00:39
astoryI don't recall adding extensions to gnome00:39
astoryah but I can disable appindicators00:40
sarnoldyeah 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
=== astory is now known as astory_
Square2poor astory, seems he was unaware of the massive(?) 24.04.1 problems00:57
astoryswitching to cinnamon appears to have worked, fingers crossed.  It's also a lot faster.01:05
sarnoldastory: yay! :D thanks for reporting back01:09

blahdeblahenigma9o7: Presumably pycurious wants to know before purchasing it...03:31
enigma9o7Valid point.03:32
blahdeblahpycurious: 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 CPU03:33
blahdeblahIf it has been released in the last year, I would generally recommend against purchasing it unless it appears in that list.03:34
highratei'd guess the linux kernel can handle that type of hardware03:35
blahdeblahEven 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

slingamnthis 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
enigma9o7hmmm good question.  i'd try it, and if it didnt work, open an XWayland window and ssh -X from there.03:54

nightnotdarkim supposed to be shrinking the drive from another OS right13:11
nightnotdarkfrom a liveos13:11
tomreyn<tomreyn> you need to do the resizing from a system booted from a different disk13:11
tomreynit 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
tomreynso, yes, a usb booted  live system is a good choice13:12

manwhowouldbekinHi 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

tomreynmanwhowouldbekin: 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
tomreynspecifically, 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
tomreynif you can't get more than VESA screen resolution, it means the driver isn't working, and failsafe mode is active.19:28
manwhowouldbekinThat is what I figured ...19:28
tomreynnouveau 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

squirrelhow do I choose the partition to install to?20:33
squirrelno matter what I do "next" is greyed out20:33
pycuriouswow - gigabyte technical support is really problematic. Am trying to wait for more than 30 minutes already. Waiting :)20:38
enigma9o7It 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
squirrelwhat's an alternative to ubuntu if I only care about driver support and unproblemness?20:50
squirrelubuntu installer crashes and I just want to give up20:50
squirreland why on earth the installer wants to format all drivers?!20:52
squirreldrives*20:52
enigma9o7Pretty sure it doesn't want to, andwould require manual mode to do so.20:52
squirrelwell I'm in manual mode and that's the default20:53
squirrel... but now I clicked back and next and now it's not the default20:53
enigma9o7What do you actually want to do?20:53
enigma9o7The easiest way is just leave unpartitioned space before starting the installer, then it'll offer to use that automatically.20:54
squirrelI want to test a game in steam20:54
enigma9o7I meant in regards to drives and partitions.20:54
pycuriousk- gigabyte picked up - and it looks like its good support :) They are checking if the MB will work with Ubuntu 24.04 :)20:55
squirrelI 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 disk20:55
squirrelbut I don't want it to touch my main disk20:55
squirrelokay imma YOLO it20:57
squirrelhad to disable internet access because the installer crashes if internet is enabled20:57
squirrelthe installer finished but the system just dies completely 5 seconds into booting21:10

Liquidhello 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-etcher22:13
Liquidthe fix listed below does not seem to work.22:14
enigma9o7I looked at your link, it says "Best option is to use appimage package or alternative tool"22:15
enigma9o7Is that what you tried?22:15
enigma9o7What 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
Liquidit requires me to run it with the --no-sandbox command and it just stays hung22:16
Liquidim trying to flash windows 10 on a usb stick in order to reinstall22:17
enigma9o7I'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
enigma9o7I 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
enigma9o7be very careful the of is set write if using dd, wouldn't wanna nuke a drive you didn't intend to22:19
enigma9o7set right (correctly) I mean22:20
Liquidid prefer something with a gui22:20
toddcI 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 pc22:20

tomreynLiquid: man 8 apt-secure23:09
tomreynGuest59: please note this channel is about ubuntu support23:10
tomreynLiquid: 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
tomreyni mean the "software-properties" GUI23:15
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
