ring0_starrhi, I am making an app for a system that only has glibc version 2.33, but my build system has glibc version 2.34, and the executables that it produces requires at least 2.34 for a single specific symbol.  how do i make my app work?00:27
rfmring0_starr, which ubuntu version is that which used 2.33?00:31
ring0_starroh, that system isn't ubuntu00:32
rfmring0_starr, so nobody here is likely to know how to help you. Maybe try #linux for cross-distro questions?00:34
ring0_starryes, but the system being used to build the app is ubuntu, and ubuntu is an incredible operating system which I am sure has the ability to create executables that link against glibc version 2.33.  Or are you telling me that the mighty Ubuntu does not support building applications for distros other than itself?00:36
matsamanring0_starr: chroot00:40
matsamanand yeah, it's not Ubuntu specific, so you may as well talk to #linux00:40
matsamannot because it's off topic, just because it qualifies for a broader audience that would probably help you get things done faster00:40
ring0_starryeah, sure.  but i thought ubuntu would have the clearly defined ubuntu way of doing this with some apt trickery00:42
ring0_starrall i need is ulrich drepper telling me about how glibc is "legendary" in its portability and i can't even make a stupid exe work on something one minor version digit lower00:43
ring0_starrgotta re-define strlcpy() for glibc targets because of how legendary that compatibility is00:45
matsamanlooks like you want 'pbuilder'00:46
ring0_starraha so it's like the linux version of poudiere00:47
* matsaman shrugs00:47
matsamanall the useful parts of Ubuntu are Debian00:47
matsamanyou want the Debian way to build a package in a chroot with a specific glibc00:48
matsamanpbuilder seems the popular approach00:48
ring0_starrok thanks00:48
ring0_starryou wanna know what's ironic00:48
ring0_starrmicrosoft wangblows makes this completely trivial because you can select which version of MSVCRT to link against in a drop down combo box in the GUI configuration settings for visual C++00:49
matsamanthat's an IDE, though, right?00:49
matsamanI would bet an IDE on Linux would do the same00:50
ring0_starrbut that was 20 years ago.  if you tried to do the same thing in windows today, you'd have Cortana your AI assistant trying to help you with that00:50
ring0_starrcomputers just blow anymore00:50
* matsaman shrugs00:51
ring0_starri mean, it's a GUI setting inside of an IDE, but the GUI even shows you which compiler flag it's changing when you click the button that gets passed along to cl.exe00:52
ring0_starrkey concept here is that the version of the crt to use itself is a compiler flag -.-00:53
JanCring0_starr: I think what you need is the -version-script linker option01:25
JanCbut... it's not trivial to use01:25
JanCif you have multiple glibc versions you can also refer to the one you want to build against IIRC01:27

croraf_Is there anywhere a history of #ubuntu channel?08:49
sudipcroraf_: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2025/07/30/%23ubuntu.html08:51
croraf_sudip isn't that for the Freenode instead of this one?08:52
croraf_Freenode: #ubuntu instead of Libera: #ubuntu08:53
sudipits this one, wait for some time and you can see these chats in that link also08:53
croraf_sudip thanks a lot, indeed I see my yesterdays messages08:57
imihi, is it me not understanding regexes, or is this a bug? https://termbin.com/ua4209:23
croraf_Ok, now I need urgent help... I tried to instlall nvidia drivers 575 from 550 or 535 I think, restarted and now I dont have internet nor keyboard, only mouse09:26
croraf_I cannot pick old driver, because it says it cannot download package cause offline09:26
iminevermind, I'm just noob. LANG=C fixes that09:29
croraf_How is this possible, I'm doomed09:43
croraf_I also dont see the history here when i disconnect, if somoeone is trying to help me10:12
croraf_https://pasteboard.co/h2617EgliXrk.jpg10:12
croraf_I debugged, nad entire usb drivers missing after Applying new nvidia driver in Software-Drivers manager and restart10:13
croraf_I do see this folder kernel/drivers/net/usb in older kernel folder10:15
croraf_It seems that trying to install nvidia-drivers-575 through Ubuntu's driver manager caused complete corruption of 6.14.0-27-generic kernel.10:24
croraf_I loaded 6.11.0-29-generic now, and at least I have my internet, although I defaulted to Nuveau still now.10:24
croraf_Or it tried to automatically install and load 6.14.0-27-generic kernel.   I try again to install nvidia drivers, a bit older ones now, that worked before and I get this error https://pasteboard.co/M6Kgea6NhdBb.png10:27
croraf_Now I see again the issue. After trying nvidia-driver-535 with 6.11.0-29-generic kernel, I got the above error, restarted. The system works but it works as Nouveau is loaded, not Nvidia.10:40
croraf_Also "Additional drivers" UI shows nvidia-driver-535 is in use. But it is not, as shown by all of the following: appearance, $sudo lshw -c display,  $nvidia-smi giving failed10:40

BluesKajHi all11:38
tekizuihello11:39
croraf_This is a big mess that I have with nvidia drivers now. I cannot even uninstall them.11:54
lotuspsychjecroraf_: use a pastebin with apt's output12:00
croraf_lotuspsychje: thansk, I managed to do it now, using purge on nvidia drivers and autoremove after12:01
croraf_But  I only removed "sudo apt purge linux-modules-nvidia-550-6.14.0-27-generic" perhaps 535 was not corrupted12:03
lotuspsychje!details | croraf_12:05
ubottucroraf_: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information.

croraf_lotuspsychje: the cause was trying to upgrade nvidia drivers to 575 through "Additional drivers".   At the end of that I got complete corruption of the current kernel 6.14.0-27. Whole modules got deleted, netowrking and peripherals like keyboard stopped working12:20
croraf_Among other kernel/drivers/net/usb folder got deleted.   (If the nvidia drivers update didn't attept to install the kernel itself, which then got installed partially. That is also an option perhaps? )12:22
croraf_And I got stuck in the doom without the internet . Lucklily I got older kernels available for boot otherwise I would be doomed completely. I managed to reboot into older kernel, but it used Nouveau.12:24
croraf_I couldn't autoremove, nor remove the corrupt kernel (latest). Because it remove had problem with nvidia-drivers-550 dependency.12:25
croraf_Finally I managed to purge,  sudo apt purge linux-modules-nvidia-550-6.14.0-27-generic   and then autoremove. And now it installed 550 on kernel 6.14.0-24-generic correctly. I'll restart to see if it will use these drivers12:26
lotuspsychjecroraf_: i see several bugs popup like bug #211910512:32
-ubottu:#ubuntu- Bug 2119105 in linux-restricted-modules-hwe-6.14 (Ubuntu) "package linux-modules-nvidia-570-6.14.0-27-generic" [Undecided, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/211910512:32
lotuspsychjecroraf_: see if this is your case12:32
croraf_I think I'll need help now to remove the 6.14.0-27 kernel and reinstall it.12:32
croraf_I'm afraid to try to install nvidia-drivers-575 on this good kernel. Btw now everything works on 6.14.0-24 with nvidia-drivers-55012:33
croraf_Yea, that looks kind of like my bug, but as I said it had severe consequences on my Ubuntu12:34
croraf_Seems to me that I was on 6.14.0.27 ( I doubt this driver installation would switch the kernel) and that the nvidia-drivers-575 corrupted half of the kernel.12:38
=== Geronimo9 is now known as Geronimo
croraf_OK, I managed to remove and reinstall 6.14.0-27 kernel and it automatically booted with nvidia-drivers-550 which I installed on 6.14.0-2412:52
lotuspsychje!yay12:53
ubottuGlad you made it! :-)12:53
croraf_I added all the relevant details to that bug. The reason I wanted to update is I was hoping to be able to work on Wayland with my Nvidia RTX 2080. Do you think switching to newer nvidia drivers could fix Wayland issues on Ubuntu?13:00
lotuspsychjecroraf_: yes, latest nvidia drivers should perform better on wayland (test out on your own system)13:01
lotuspsychjecroraf_: another bug #211910913:03
-ubottu:#ubuntu- Bug 2119109 in linux-restricted-modules-hwe-6.14 (Ubuntu) "Package linux-modules-nvidia-550-6.14.0-27-generic is not configured yet." [Undecided, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/211910913:03
croraf_Hopefully people will not get severe unrevertable issues like me. I ignored the warning and restarted.13:05
croraf_Thanks lotus as usual :)13:06
croraf_You know what, I switched to wayland and I don't see immediate artifacts that I saw before upgrading from 535 nvidia to 55013:12
croraf_That's excellent, because now I won't have the major X11 bug that is a disaster.13:12

MajorGonzoHello.  Using Ubuntu 25.04.  After upgrading yesterday, kernel 6.14.0-27 was installed.  Upon reboot, I got the "Unable to mount root fs" error.  After much investigating, I found that if I edit the GRUB option when booting, there are extra tabs and a blank line after the initrd= line.  If I delete these, it will boot correctly.  Any idea as16:19
MajorGonzoto what may be inserting the extra characters?  I checked grub.cfg, and there are no extra characters there.16:19
freakyy85MajorGonzo did u try running update-grub again and see if it writes these again?16:20
MajorGonzoYes, it didn't fix it.  Also, each option under Addition Options gets corrupted after using it.16:21
freakyy85ok cant help you there16:21
bwu25hi, I am trying to build the kernel, but when I copy /boot/config-6.14.0-24-generic to linux/.config and I run make, why are there are still lots of options I need to specify manually?18:45
