| xgpt | Does anyone know of any software for reading plaintext that automatically saves your last spot when you reload the software and file? I'm looking to read a rather long ebook in utf8 txt format but want the same kind of experience of being able to find my spot between sessions like an epub | 01:37 |

| devslash | I have this issue with Ubuntu 24.04 on my laptop. Its a Lenovo with 12GB of RAM. When I develop on it using Firefox 134 and Visual Studio Code running my React app, sometimes my entire PC will lag and stutter. if I move the mouse, it only moves after a few seconds and in a very jerky motion. I usually have to kill the power to my laptop to fix this | 03:14 |
| devslash | because I can't interact with the OS. ANy idea what might cause this ? I really think that 12 GB is a decent amount of ram for local development of a relatively small app | 03:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | devslash: I would look into alternative IDE for development work. VSCode is a resource hog, and depending on what you're developing, there are likely better choices out there. Also, if you developing a web application, you may have memory leaks in your programming. launch your page in a freshly launched web browser and have a system monitory running... do nothing but essential items with the application and then let it sit. It should NOT | 03:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | consume more RAM than when left it. If it does, then you need to make sure what ever you're programming is properly disposing objects from memory when not needed. | 03:17 |
| devslash | its vscodium fwiw | 03:18 |
| devslash | well ok im using react. you dont mangae memory in react for the most part.... | 03:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | devslash: Accuracy counts, there is a very large difference between VSCode and VSCodium. Very big | 03:18 |
| devslash | Im pretty sure its not my code | 03:18 |
| devslash | it only happens randomly | 03:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | "pretty sure its not my code" if I had a penny for everytime I heard a developer utter those words.... | 03:19 |
| devslash | its not. its not a large app at all and with react components are only compiled when needed | 03:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | don't guess... verify | 03:20 |
| devslash | even larger apps dont cause the entire os to freeze | 03:20 |
| devslash | I think I found something while looking through sys log | 03:22 |

| eelstrebor | how does one update firmware of a bluray drive under linux? | 15:33 |
| respawn | check on webpage of the Bluray device | 15:34 |
| eelstrebor | i did, no instructions with linux tools | 15:35 |
| respawn | and you want to update the firmware for what reason | 15:36 |
| ogra_ | eelstrebor, you can install gnome-firmware and hope that the manufacturer supports fwupd | 15:36 |

| Zuncu | Hi everyone i have a strange behaviour with my old laptop Asus A2K with AMD64 Athlon Mobile, i cannot boot any kind of ubuntu based on 24.04 and any derivate (xubuntu, lubuntu, backbox...everything), debian boot without any problem. If this is the right channel anyone of you has some idea on how to let it boot? The error says ZSTD-Compressed data is corrupt -- System Halted, no other logs | 18:20 |
| Zuncu | the image is correct (checksum OK), i created the media with optical drive (DVD) and also usb (using rufus as iso and DD nothing changed, same error) | 18:27 |
| hermano | Getting: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl: No such file or directory | 18:32 |
| hermano | Would I need to install a package to get rid of the error message? | 18:33 |
| oerheks | Zuncu, check the bios for dedicated gpu, not integrated? | 18:57 |
| oerheks | and how much memory does that 'beast' have? | 18:58 |
| eelstrebor | ogra_, i installed gnome-firmware but the bluray drive doesn't show up in it's list. | 19:16 |
| neachdainn | I've got a brand new, totally empty, Ubuntu 22.04 Docker container that is doing nothing but an `apt-get update` and it's failing: https://bpa.st/QKCA | 19:36 |

| JasonS05 | hello. I'm using ubuntu server 20.04 (outdated, I know, but I need this specific version for compatibility with a certain software) on a Surface Pro 3. I'm trying to configure it as a wireless access point, but I'm having a lot of difficulty. I can get the access point itself working fine with hostapd but I can't for the life of me get the DHCP | 21:49 |
| JasonS05 | functionality to work with either dnsmasq or dhcpd4 (i.e. isc-dhcp-server). Wireshark on the client indicates that the DHCP discover packets are being sent out, but there's no response. Using `journalctl -xf` on the server, I can see hostapd responding to the connection but no logs from either dnsmasq or dhcpd4, so perhaps they're just not | 21:49 |
| JasonS05 | receiving the discover packets somehow? I'm at a bit of a loss on how to proceed. I've googled this as much as I can and it's taken me this far, but I'm stuck now. In case it's relevant, the server is receiving internet from an application called easytether (thus the restriction to 20.04) which creates a device called `tun-easytether` with a | 21:49 |
| JasonS05 | 192.168.117.0/31 subnet, the router (other side of the tether connection) being 192.168.117.0 and the client being 192.168.117.1. However, I don't see why any of this should interfere with the wireless side of things. Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed, where to poke around, etc.? | 21:49 |

| veliyankode | i salvaged a 10 year old laptop with nvidia 920m today with kubuntu 24.04 | 21:52 |
| veliyankode | it's not much of a card but it's nvidia | 21:57 |
| veliyankode | if a package is included in ubuntu gnome 24.04, will it be kept in it for 10 years? (5 years + 5 years coming from ubuntu pro (free)) | 21:59 |
| oerheks | not all packages are supported in those extra 5 years | 22:00 |
| veliyankode | oerheks: how can i check? it's the nvidia driver 470 | 22:05 |
| oerheks | pro security-status --esm-apps # i see no nvidia in that | 22:07 |
| oerheks | https://documentation.ubuntu.com/pro/services-overview/ | 22:07 |
| oerheks | why would one run ubuntu older than 5 years. | 22:07 |
| enigma9o7 | Ironically one of my machines is on 18.04 specificially because nvidia-340 | 22:08 |
| enigma9o7 | there are ways to make it work on newer ubuntu, but that was the last one it was supported on officially or whatever. | 22:08 |
| enigma9o7 | i think when 20.04 was released it wasnt even available | 22:08 |
| enigma9o7 | but too long to remember | 22:09 |
| oerheks | driver ppa gives 340 https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=focal | 22:10 |
| oerheks | but nouveau gets better every year | 22:10 |
| enigma9o7 | only for the newer gpus. they dont care about old ones. | 22:11 |
| enigma9o7 | i tried at one point reporting stuff to nouveau to get it usable for me on that machine (it locks up within a day or two with nouveau) but gave up when no progress | 22:11 |
| veliyankode | enigma9o7: did you try nouveau.noaccel=1 ? | 22:13 |
| enigma9o7 | cant remember, but wouldn't that disable acceleration? | 22:16 |
| veliyankode | it could keep your computer usable | 22:24 |
| enigma9o7 | Its usable on bionic too. | 22:24 |

| renergy | is there a way how to maintain zoom level when listing in directory using lef/right arrow in Image Viewer? | 23:46 |
| renergy | I have a bunch of images of the same size, want to list through them and have to reset zoom after change of image is inconvenient | 23:47 |
| renergy | re-set zoom, not reset | 23:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | I don't believe there is | 23:48 |
| renergy | something like Preferences/Slideshow/Expand images to fit screen | 23:49 |
| enigma9o7 | that level of configuration could be confusing, best not offer it | 23:49 |
| renergy | which I tried to uncheck, but out of slideshow (guess I am out of one) it does not do anything (understandably) | 23:49 |
| renergy | pragmaticenigma: thanks | 23:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | Image Viewer is best geared for quick viewing, it sounds like you might be more interested in locating something that handles photo management | 23:50 |
| renergy | ...any suggestions, please? | 23:51 |
| renergy | will look into app center | 23:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | you may want to ask that sort of question in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. this room tries to stay away from suggestions | 23:52 |
| renergy | got that now... thank you! | 23:53 |
