| eson123 | correct me if i am wrong but i like debian but it's not that up-to-dated, so i am considering Ubuntu but i heard that you guys only keep the security updates for 10% of the ecosystem, and i am not so sure what that means or the source was right, so please clarify ? | 01:07 |

| thingfish | hi | 07:02 |
| gebbione | anyone around to troubleshoot nvidia dual screen? | 07:18 |

| TongueScryer | Morning, everyone. So, does anyone know if it is at all possible to get the Tenda AX300 wifi adapter (W311MI) to work on Ubuntu? 'Cause I've tried everything I've found online and nothing. | 07:59 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: what gives; sudo lshw -C network | 09:03 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: just ethernet | 10:02 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: so your wifi says unclaimed right? | 10:02 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: No. Even after I install the drivers, wifi doesn't show up anywhere. | 10:02 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: can you plz pastebin the whole output of 'sudo dmesg' plz | 10:03 |
| lotuspsychje | the volunteers will take a look for you | 10:03 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: ok, here --> https://pastebin.com/vXPJM7mJ | 10:10 |
| lotuspsychje | reading | 10:10 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: pastebin sudo lshw -C network too please | 10:14 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: wich ubuntu release/kernel version was the last your wifi worked on? | 10:14 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: https://pastebin.com/284E1cUE | 10:15 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: None. It's a new PC. | 10:15 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: hmm your wifi doesnt even show up there | 10:15 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: please journalctl -f and plug in your wifi dongle (if it is a dongle) and pastebin the output after | 10:16 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: lsusb shows "Tenda AIC8800DC" though | 10:16 |
| lotuspsychje | did you try other usb ports TongueScryer | 10:17 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: https://pastebin.com/WsTuTcGR | 10:17 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: yeah | 10:17 |
| lotuspsychje | weird TongueScryer | 10:19 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: you still got older kernel versions? | 10:20 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: that's how a I try to live xD | 10:20 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: nope | 10:20 |
| lotuspsychje | you sure the dongle still works? also new? | 10:20 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: It came with the PC | 10:20 |
| lotuspsychje | okay | 10:21 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: When the drivers are not installed, it shows up as a regular volume, but not with the drivers installed. So something happens, at least partly | 10:21 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: ubuntu should load the module by default | 10:22 |
| lotuspsychje | if not, we should assume a !bug | 10:22 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: well, it's not a crisis, i'm sharing my internet over LAN from my laptop, so there's that | 10:23 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: I guess I should start looking for tried-and-true WiFI adapters that work on Ubuntu? | 10:24 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: i would suggest filing a new bug | 10:24 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: ubuntu-bug linux , from a terminal | 10:25 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: done | 10:26 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: now fill in title in your browser | 10:26 |
| lotuspsychje | + description of the bug | 10:26 |

| lotuspsychje | thank you TongueScryer | 10:35 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: thank you so much for your help :) | 10:35 |
| lotuspsychje | now we can start doing tests a bit | 10:35 |
| TongueScryer | hopefully, it's fixable | 10:36 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: whats the bug ID plz | 10:36 |
| TongueScryer | my guess is that the vendor hasn't updated the drivers to the new kernel versions, but i'm not savvy enough | 10:37 |

| lotuspsychje | tnx for filing your bug and make ubuntu better TongueScryer | 10:38 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: I'd say 'my pleasure' but doesn't seem fitting XD | 10:38 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: what i would do is try an LTS test from another ubuntu release now, like 22.04 or 24.04 live | 10:39 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: Oh, sorry, you asked about kernel versions earlier... I actually tried on 24.04 and 24.10 before I updated to 25.04. Same result. | 10:40 |
| TongueScryer | (I realise those are Ubuntu versions) | 10:40 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: you can add a new comment on the bug, you tested 24.04 aswell | 10:41 |
| TongueScryer | done | 10:43 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: try 22.04 aswell too | 10:44 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: I might, but I don't really feel like going back to 22.04 just for a WiFi dongle | 10:45 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: its not 'going back' but just booting up a 22.04 liveusb to test | 10:46 |
| TongueScryer | lotuspsychje: sorry if it's a dumb question, but can you install drivers on a liveusb? | 10:47 |
| lotuspsychje | TongueScryer: as stated before, ubuntu should load driver modules by default, if not, its a bug | 10:48 |
| ogra | well, the aic8800 driver isnt part of any mainline kernel | 10:50 |
| lotuspsychje | how come ogra | 10:51 |
| ogra | the manufacturer offers a dkms deb though | 10:51 |

| ogra | "I have discovered that some drivers work up to kernel version 6.8 (e.g. radxa, in the version from the link, which can be installed without any problems even on a 24.04.1 live cd), but none of them work on or above 6.11, even on a clean,freshly installed system" | 11:11 |
| ogra | from https://askubuntu.com/questions/1545120/fenvi-ax300-aic8800-has-anyone-managed-to-get-this-adapter-working | 11:11 |
| TongueScryer | ogra: lovely | 11:11 |

| curiousman41 | Ok | 11:11 |
| PraneelsUp | “erebos has left (Client Quit)” | 11:13 |
| TongueScryer | ogra: since we're at 6.14, it's safe to assume that the manufactors won't be bothering to update the drivers | 11:13 |
| IGOLEE | We assume that | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | give it a test TongueScryer | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | IGOLEE: please stop | 11:13 |

| TongueScryer | so 'manufactor' is a medieval word, but i think it's fitting | 11:14 |
| curiousman41 | Ok | 11:15 |
| ogra | TongueScryer, they might just be slow and a bit behind ... I wouldnt assume they wont support it but it is likely that linux might not be a priority so they might be slow updating it | 11:15 |
| TongueScryer | ogra: yeah... still, i think for me, a long-term solution would be to just find a wifi adapter that actually works on Ubuntu | 11:16 |
| ogra | yeah | 11:17 |

| phoebus_ | Hello. I'm on Ubuntu 24.04.2. I was trying to install uuid-dev and libgtk2.0-dev. Both times when I tried it through apt it told me I had unmet dependencies and was asking for different versions of the package. Is there a way I can install them without breaking my system? | 14:45 |
| cbreak | can you pastebin the full output? | 14:54 |
| phoebus_ | Here: https://bpa.st/ZZ3A | 14:57 |
| cbreak | phoebus_: for some reason apt thinks you want to keep "broken" packages | 15:00 |
| cbreak | don't know a sane way to fix it though, sorry :( (an insane way would be to just remove all the things that conflict, but that'd probably cause more trouble) | 15:01 |
| phoebus_ | Yeah, I thought as much. Can I ask do you think it's a bug in apt or is it maybe something I did on my end? I can't think of anything which I've done that could've caused this. I haven't been downgrading packages or installing weird ppas. | 15:03 |
| cbreak | I've had similar symptoms when installing external deb packages (for nvidia cuda for example). | 15:04 |
| phoebus_ | I am running a 7800 xt and using the proprietary amd drivers. Wonder if that has something to do with it. | 15:05 |
| phoebus_ | Thank you for your help. | 15:05 |
| cbreak | have you looked at aptitude? | 15:07 |
| cbreak | in the past I was recommended that thing as being able to resolve things better | 15:08 |
| phoebus_ | Is it safe? | 15:09 |
| cbreak | ... probably? :) It doesn't do anything without confirmation. | 15:10 |
| phoebus_ | I assumed there was a reason it was preventing the installation. I can see aptitude comes up with a solution for libgtk2.0-dev but for uuid-dev it just installs and removes nothing. | 15:11 |
| phoebus_ | Oh wait, I can't read. For both of them actually it's saying keep the following packages at their current version and presenting that as the only solution. | 15:15 |
| rfm | phoebus_, when I check uuid-dev it does have 2.39.3-9ubuntu6.2 available, it looks like maybe you have a partially-updated mirror? | 15:21 |
| rfm | phoebus_, apt-cache policy uuid-dev should show Candidate: 2.39.3-9ubuntu6.2, does it? | 15:23 |
| phoebus_ | All it shows for me is 6. | 15:24 |
| phoebus_ | https://bpa.st/JWQQ | 15:26 |
| phoebus_ | That's strange. Seems like it was something I did then. I was also having problems with sqlite3 and packages for renpy too which were giving me problems. Wonder if installing the amd/rocm stuff had something to do with it. | 15:27 |
| rfm | phoebus_, I'd try adding noble-updates. Certainly the amd stuff coming from a "jammy" release looks terrible. | 15:29 |
| phoebus_ | Did I follow the 22.04 instructions by mistake... Is it possible to just edit the sources file and replace jammy with noble? | 15:33 |
| rfm | phoebus_, I don't know, it depends if radeon is up-to-date. but it couldn't hurt to try, worst that would happen is apt update would give an error | 15:34 |
| rfm | phoebus_, could you show "apt-cache policy libuuid1". The problem is it's picking up version -9ubuntu6.2 of that, which conflicts with uuid-dev being only at 6 | 15:41 |
| rfm | phoebus_, I don't know where you're getting 6.2, it's in noble-updates but you don't seem to have that in sources | 15:42 |
| phoebus_ | https://bpa.st/67IA | 15:43 |
| phoebus_ | For that package it seems like I have 6.2. | 15:43 |
| phoebus_ | I tried updating the amd drivers. Going to reboot to see if it makes a difference. | 15:44 |
| phoebus_ | Sorry, if you posted anything I couldn't see it. I tried rebooting and now have rocm updates. After those finish installing I'll see if they impact uuid-dev and libgtk2.0-dev or not. | 15:47 |
| rfm | phoebus_, well, the problem is you picked up libuuid1 2.39.3-9ubuntu6.2 from somewhere, either by downloading a .deb or having noble-updates in your sources for a while and taking it out. | 15:49 |
| rfm | phoebus_, I think your choices are forcing a downgrade of libuuid1 or putting noble-updates in sources and getting the new uuid-dev. Personally I'd go forward rather than back... | 15:51 |
| rfm | phoebus_, and I think adding noble-updates would fix the libgtk2.0-dev errors too, situation looks very similar | 15:55 |
| === pusher is now known as keypusher | ||
| phoebus_ | rfm, it worked. I was able to successfully update everything and now have uuid-dev and libgtk2.0-dev installed properly. Thank you for your help. I don't think I would've ever thought to do that on my own. | 16:29 |

| schuelermine | Hi | 19:36 |
| schuelermine | Does anyone know what the cause might be for my mum's laptop not offering updates to newer Ubuntu releases? | 19:38 |
| schuelermine | The update settings show it's not set to just LTS releases | 19:38 |
| schuelermine | But it just doesn't ask for an update | 19:38 |
| thingfish | which version is she on now. | 19:38 |
| bprompt | schuelermine: you can check her version by doing ----> cat /etc/os-release <---- or just viewing that file | 19:40 |
| thingfish | yesterday I read that the upgrade path to 25.04 has been temporarily disabled, due to a bug. But I would've thought this was fixed by now. | 19:40 |
| cbreak | bprompt: I wonder if that's expected to be in sync with the output of lsb_release -a | 19:41 |
| schuelermine | 24.04 | 19:41 |
| bprompt | schuelermine: notice thingfish's line above " path to 25.04 has been temporarily disabled, due to a bug" | 19:42 |
| schuelermine | well it didn't offer to upgrade to 24.10 either | 19:42 |
| rfm | but the (non-lts) upgrade from 24.04 would be 24.10 | 19:42 |
| bprompt | cbreak: I was thinking the other way around, that lsb_release "reads" its info from that file =) | 19:42 |
| schuelermine | oh | 19:43 |
| schuelermine | huh | 19:43 |
| cbreak | bprompt: I'd expect that to happen, or it to be generated from the same source | 19:43 |
| cbreak | schuelermine: grep Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ? | 19:43 |
| schuelermine | I swear it used to say "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For any new version" | 19:43 |
| schuelermine | But it says "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For long-term support versions" | 19:43 |
| schuelermine | cbreak: yeah it says lts | 19:44 |
| schuelermine | either it got switched magically | 19:44 |
| schuelermine | or my brain is not working | 19:44 |
| schuelermine | magically | 19:44 |
| thingfish | lol | 19:44 |
| cbreak | I wouldn't be surprised if it's switched to lts when ever you upgrade to an lts... | 19:44 |
| bprompt | schuelermine: the card switch trick, when you weren't looking :P | 19:45 |
| schuelermine | thingfish: is 24.04 → 24.10 → 25.04 possible? | 19:45 |
| schuelermine | (I am interpreting "upgrade path […] disabled" to mean specifically 24.04 → 25.04 | 19:45 |
| thingfish | schuelermine: at the moment I don't think it is. | 19:45 |
| schuelermine | ok | 19:45 |
| thingfish | surely they'll get on it and get it fixed ASAP. | 19:46 |
| cbreak | schuelermine: upgrading from 24.10 is problematic | 19:46 |
| schuelermine | cbreak: what about 24.04 → 25.04? | 19:46 |
| cbreak | direct upgrades from non-adjacent versions is only possible between LTS releases | 19:46 |
| cbreak | I wanted to go to 23.10 in the past once, from 22.04 and had to update 22.10, 23.04 and then 23.10 | 19:47 |
| cbreak | it was very time consuming... :P | 19:47 |
| schuelermine | cbreak: well it is a LTS release | 19:47 |
| schuelermine | 24.04 | 19:47 |
| bprompt | schuelermine: she's golden AFAIK, I mean, is not a major issue though, 24.04 is the latest LTS | 19:47 |
| schuelermine | right? | 19:47 |
| schuelermine | or am I misremembering | 19:47 |
| cbreak | yeah, but the target isn't | 19:47 |
| schuelermine | oh right | 19:47 |
| cbreak | 24.04 still has years of life inside | 19:48 |
| schuelermine | bprompt: yeah I was mostly just worried something wasn't working | 19:48 |
| schuelermine | and also I think she would enjoy the new updates | 19:48 |
| cbreak | 24.10 will be out of support in ~3 months or so | 19:48 |
| schuelermine | cbreak: I am aware how the release system works | 19:48 |
| cbreak | I'm quite happy with 24.10 so if you want to upgrade to it now it's probably ok, but it might be more stable on the lts. | 19:49 |
| bprompt | schuelermine: and since is for your mom, you might as well stick with 24.04 instead of 24.10, or she's going to be calling you at 2am for glitches | 19:50 |
| schuelermine | bprompt: she already is | 19:50 |
| schuelermine | well | 19:50 |
| schuelermine | not 2am | 19:51 |
| schuelermine | and not necessarily glitches | 19:51 |
| schuelermine | but yknow | 19:51 |
| bprompt | schuelermine: right, but chances are an LTS would minimize those calls :) | 19:51 |
| schuelermine | bprompt: given that she's CURRENTLY on an LTS I'm not getting my hopes up! | 19:52 |
| schuelermine | is there a way to list past app crashes like coredumpctl can on other distros? | 19:52 |
| schuelermine | or do they only get saved if I report them | 19:53 |
| schuelermine | or only for a short time | 19:54 |
| schuelermine | /var/lib/apport/coredump is empty | 19:54 |
| sarnold | if all you care about is crashes, searching your logs for the word `segfault` should get them, that gets logged to dmesg | 19:56 |
| schuelermine | sarnold: thanks | 19:56 |
| sarnold | maybe `sigbus`, too, but those are super-rare and I can't recall if I've seen them | 19:57 |
| schuelermine | weird; I can’t find anything | 20:00 |
| schuelermine | I always assumed app crash dialogs were about segfaults | 20:00 |
| schuelermine | What does ForwardToSyslog in journald.conf do? | 20:01 |
| schuelermine | ok I gotta reboot this PC | 20:02 |
| schuelermine | bye | 20:02 |

| Gallomimia | oh my! a do-release-upgrade actually has worked! this is gonna be exciting | 20:24 |
| thingfish | sweet | 20:25 |

| Gallomimia | gross. i'm suddenly a lot less enthusiastic about the upgrade to 24.10 both discord and steam are flickering | 20:35 |
| Gallomimia | every time the mouse-over triggers a popup, the entire window flickers | 20:36 |
| Gallomimia | unusable :( | 20:37 |
| thingfish | Gallomimia: what sort of GPU do you have in that machine? | 20:42 |
| Gallomimia | it is an nvidia 2060 | 20:42 |
| thingfish | hmm | 20:43 |
| Gallomimia | i'm looking at an update to the drivers. why 570 has no not-server version? | 20:43 |
| thingfish | and which drivers are in use? | 20:43 |
| Gallomimia | 550 official | 20:43 |
| thingfish | I thought I saw a server version in there, but my memory is faulty. | 20:43 |
| Gallomimia | oh. i seem to have the 550 server installed already | 20:43 |
| thingfish | aha | 20:43 |
| Gallomimia | or, do i? | 20:44 |
| Gallomimia | no. it's just nvidia-driver-550 | 20:44 |
| Gallomimia | okay... go go gadget server. whatever the heck that means | 20:44 |
| Gallomimia | (from ubuntu package manager, not the nvidia website) | 20:45 |
| thingfish | that's good at least. | 20:45 |
| Gallomimia | oooo color coded terminal. fancy | 20:45 |
| thingfish | I guess you could either fix it now, or try to...or go ahead and upgrade to 25.04 and with it, the 570 drivers. | 20:45 |
| Gallomimia | i tend to wait a few weeks before jumping on a new release | 20:46 |
| Gallomimia | not that ubuntu releases are inherently risky to grab just after published. but everyone else's software needs some time to settle down | 20:47 |
| thingfish | that's not an uncommon approach. | 20:47 |
| thingfish | me? I jump right in. | 20:47 |
| Gallomimia | i used to avoid do-release-upgrades also, after one bad experience in 2018. i used to unplug an LVM and put in a new one on my raid. but that puppy kicked the bucket | 20:48 |
| Gallomimia | ##reboot! | 20:48 |
| Gallomimia | i guess that sounds a lot less cool if you've never seen that show. | 20:48 |
| Gallomimia | let's see if that flicker stopped... | 20:54 |
| Gallomimia | oooo yeah. that's good | 20:54 |
| thingfish | cool | 20:54 |
| Gallomimia | but irc runs at 0.5 fps | 20:54 |
| thingfish | eek | 20:55 |

| hero | whats good comrades hows everyone day going | 21:48 |
| thingfish | newcomer to Ubuntu here. I gotta admit that the lack of constant updates (I am used to Arch and Debian Sid) has me fidgety. :) | 22:42 |
| thingfish | I keep thinking I'm missing something. | 22:42 |
| thingfish | I guess I need to get un-used to this. | 22:43 |
| cbreak | there will be minor updates all the time (for security / bug fixes) | 23:15 |
| thingfish | right | 23:16 |
| cbreak | if you use a snap program, the constant nagging for restarts will get annoying :P | 23:16 |
| thingfish | I noticed there's a setting in the software updater that allows security updates to be downloaded and applied automatically. So if that's left in this position, maybe one wouldn't see the updates anyway. | 23:17 |
| cbreak | it might ask you to restart sometimes I think | 23:20 |
| thingfish | probably | 23:20 |
| Gallomimia | i always use the command line to do updates. it's my first task of the day after booting the PC | 23:49 |
| thingfish | yeah it's kind of what I do most of the time too, but sometimes you get curious about new toys. | 23:50 |
| thingfish | I'm new to Ubuntu so I am doing a lot of poking around. | 23:50 |
