nshirewhere is appropriate to put android studio? this guide I am reading says to put it under /usr/local to have it installed just for my user accoutn00:36
nshireI''m wondering if it would be more appropriate to put it under my home directory instead00:38
kuromiif you're on a multi-user system, and you want it installed just for your user, the standard location would be $HOME/.local00:46
nshirewhile this system doesn't actually have multiple users, I'd like to follow that00:47
kuromiofc! just make sure $HOME/.local/bin is in your PATH00:48
ravageThere is also https://snapcraft.io/android-studio00:50
ravageBut have not used that myself yet00:50
nshireit seems as though it doesn't matter where I put the initially downloaded folder as it runs it own installer00:51
ravageSnaps are usually a good way to keep things separated and easy to remove again00:52
kuromiSnaps are great :)00:53

BluesKajHi all11:58
thomas34323a new minor version of a software was released, but is not yet packages for ubuntu 24.04. Is there a way to request an update for the ubuntu package?12:53
mgedminonly if it fixes a critical bug: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates12:55
nteodosiothomas34323, except for some packages that have minor releases allowances.12:55
mgedminoh, I see that page moved to https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/12:55
thomas34323it is a dev package that contains headers that do not compile with gcc 15. I guess that does not count as critical?13:04
tomreynthat's not a reason in favor of an SRU13:06
thomas34323thanks!13:08

tomreynMrP82: (hopefully) fixed script:   SUBDEVICES=0; while [[ $SUBDEVICES = 0 ]]; do TIME=$(date '+%H:%M:%S'); SUBDEVICES=$(aplay -l | grep -A1 '^card 0: PCH \[HDA Intel PCH\], device 0: VT1708S Analog \[VT1708S Analog\]$' | tail -n1 | sed 's;^  Subdevices: \([0-9]\)/.*;\1;'); sleep 1; done; zenity --warning --text "ALSA subdevice has vanished at:\n$TIME"13:24
jp__i have a piece of software that relies on libtinfo517:13
jp__For ubuntu 2024 that is no longer available17:13
-ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2024 in gnome-vfs2 (Ubuntu) "negotiate/auth support for gssapi is broken" [Medium, Fix Released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/202417:13
jp__but it has the same function in libncurses617:14
jp__Seems from reading online that you can create a symlink and (at least for this software) it will work 1 to 117:14
jp__My question is, however17:14
jp__Where is this libncurses installed?17:14
leftyfbjp__: just use libtinfo617:14
jp__i have it leftyfb17:15
jp__But i dont know where it is installed to create the symlink17:15
jp__i cant seem to find the .so file17:15
jp__which doesn't work so great anymore17:16
jp__find also returns nothing17:16

Some_PersonHas something changed in recent versions of Ubuntu? I have an old machine that can't seem to boot the 22.04 or 24.04 ISOs21:40
JanChow old?21:40
Some_PersonI get an "error : unknown filesystem" and end up at a grub rescue prompt21:40
Some_PersonIt's a Core 2 Quad machine from the 2000s21:40
JanCso that's a 32-bits system?21:40
Some_PersonNo, it supports 64-bit21:41
Some_PersonThe 20.04 amd64 ISO boots fine21:41
JanCoh, right, the original Core was 32-bits, Core 2 were the first 64-bits21:43
JanCit's strange indeed, especially as you say that GRUB boots, but can't load linux?21:45
Some_PersonIt doesn't get very far: https://i.imgur.com/JuDW3iO.jpeg21:46
JanCyou can try to find & mount the filesystem from GRUB's rescue prompt & boot manually, I guess (the GRUB manual might be helpful with that)21:50
JanCI'm not sure anything changed in GRUB or in how the live images are made...21:51
Some_PersonWell it seems like something must have changed, and I'm not sure what to do about it22:01
JanCmaybe file a bug (if nobody else did so yet)22:02
JanCis it booting in UEFI mode or legacy BIOS emulation mode?22:04
Some_PersonThis machine is BIOS-only22:05

ravageyou may get around it using ventoy22:06
ravagewould still try to create the bootable USB with another tool like etcher22:11
JanChm, yeah, did you check the image was not corrupted & written properly?22:13
Some_PersonI'm using an iodd device which emulates an optical drive. You can just drop ISOs on them, select them on the device, and then the machine can normally boot them.22:14
Some_PersonI suppose I could try writing it to a USB stick instead... if I can find one big enough lying around that I can erase and that isn't dead...22:16
ravageso try something less odd22:16
Some_Personseriously, I've had 3 of these stupid things die on me in the past year. I am probably cursed.22:16
Some_PersonI've never seen a machine fail to boot an ISO off the iodd, but I suppose the Ubuntu bootloader might be doing something very weird...22:17
ravagewell. i booted that ISO on a lot of devices. never had any issues22:18
ravagenot on many devices that make a better room heater than a computer though22:20
Some_Personokay, managed to find a flash drive, albeit one I recall being very slow22:22
Some_Personravage: I actually have a purpose for this machine. I'm going to use it to do captures of analog media, and it's plenty powerful enough to do that.22:29
BIThello, timeshift filled my hd i tried to restore from timestamp image but when comp reboots it is stuck on a black screen22:39
BITbrowsers are gone and downloads snap on desktop22:49
Some_PersonOkay. Booting off a physical USB stick works23:00
Some_Personso my best guess is that at some point the bootloader's ability to read from optical media was dropped?23:00
Some_Personman, that makes things far less convenient for me23:01
Some_PersonI suppose I could convert it to a VHD. The iodd supports that too. Although it's support for that format has an extremely annoying quirk in that the file must be contiguous, no fragments23:03
Some_Personbut at least I'll be able to use this to install right now. It'll just take ages because this flash drive is extremely slow23:05
JanCthe good thing is that (hopefully) you only have to install once  :)23:07
Some_PersonI bought the iodd so that I'd never have to write an installer to a USB stick ever again23:09
BIThello, timeshift filled my hd i tried to restore from timestamp image but when comp reboots it is stuck on a black screen23:54
