[00:36] where 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 accoutn [00:38] I''m wondering if it would be more appropriate to put it under my home directory instead [00:46] if you're on a multi-user system, and you want it installed just for your user, the standard location would be $HOME/.local [00:47] while this system doesn't actually have multiple users, I'd like to follow that [00:48] ofc! just make sure $HOME/.local/bin is in your PATH [00:50] There is also https://snapcraft.io/android-studio [00:50] But have not used that myself yet [00:51] it seems as though it doesn't matter where I put the initially downloaded folder as it runs it own installer [00:52] Snaps are usually a good way to keep things separated and easy to remove again [00:53] Snaps are great :) [02:42] hello [02:42] exit === JanC is now known as Guest2324 [03:32] Does someone know deepin Linux?

Is there a way to request an update for the ubuntu package? [12:55] only if it fixes a critical bug: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [12:55] thomas34323, except for some packages that have minor releases allowances. [12:55] oh, I see that page moved to https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/ [13:04] it is a dev package that contains headers that do not compile with gcc 15. I guess that does not count as critical? [13:06] that's not a reason in favor of an SRU [13:08] thanks!

[21:40] Has something changed in recent versions of Ubuntu? I have an old machine that can't seem to boot the 22.04 or 24.04 ISOs [21:40] how old? [21:40] I get an "error : unknown filesystem" and end up at a grub rescue prompt [21:40] It's a Core 2 Quad machine from the 2000s [21:40] so that's a 32-bits system? [21:41] No, it supports 64-bit [21:41] The 20.04 amd64 ISO boots fine [21:43] oh, right, the original Core was 32-bits, Core 2 were the first 64-bits [21:45] it's strange indeed, especially as you say that GRUB boots, but can't load linux? [21:46] It doesn't get very far: https://i.imgur.com/JuDW3iO.jpeg [21:50] you can try to find & mount the filesystem from GRUB's rescue prompt & boot manually, I guess (the GRUB manual might be helpful with that) [21:51] I'm not sure anything changed in GRUB or in how the live images are made... [22:01] Well it seems like something must have changed, and I'm not sure what to do about it [22:02] maybe file a bug (if nobody else did so yet) [22:04] is it booting in UEFI mode or legacy BIOS emulation mode? [22:05] This machine is BIOS-only === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [22:06] you may get around it using ventoy [22:11] would still try to create the bootable USB with another tool like etcher [22:13] hm, yeah, did you check the image was not corrupted & written properly? [22:14] I'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. [22:16] I 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] so try something less odd [22:16] seriously, I've had 3 of these stupid things die on me in the past year. I am probably cursed. [22:17] I'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... [22:18] well. i booted that ISO on a lot of devices. never had any issues [22:20] not on many devices that make a better room heater than a computer though [22:22] okay, managed to find a flash drive, albeit one I recall being very slow [22:29] ravage: 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. [22:39] hello, timeshift filled my hd i tried to restore from timestamp image but when comp reboots it is stuck on a black screen [22:49] browsers are gone and downloads snap on desktop [23:00] Okay. Booting off a physical USB stick works [23:00] so my best guess is that at some point the bootloader's ability to read from optical media was dropped? [23:01] man, that makes things far less convenient for me [23:03] I 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 fragments [23:05] but at least I'll be able to use this to install right now. It'll just take ages because this flash drive is extremely slow [23:07] the good thing is that (hopefully) you only have to install once :) [23:09] I bought the iodd so that I'd never have to write an installer to a USB stick ever again [23:54] hello, timeshift filled my hd i tried to restore from timestamp image but when comp reboots it is stuck on a black screen
