PSA: In case you run #Ubuntu 24.10 with #ZFS on Root, DO NOT TRY TO UPGRADE YET! You are very likely to run into a #Linux kernel deadlock mid-flight during the upgrade which leaves you with a broken system. …

System deadlock during Ubuntu upgrade 24.10→25.04 with ZFS root due to update-grub calling `ls /.zfs/snapshot/…` via `10_linux_zfs` causing kernel lock at mount.zfs · Issue #17337 · openzfs/zfs

Q: I've got an ubuntu server installed on a mac mini (no probs) but the install broke and now I'm clueless on how to make the computer to start from usb stick! Anyone knows how to do it?
Holding Alt key does not work #ubuntu #linux

This forum thread has a telling evolution, starting from "about ten minutes" for #Ubuntu 12.10 and "an hour maybe two" by 20.04? 🤣

Canonical is evil.
If I wanted to use nano, I suppose I might run something like "nanosudo"
BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT I RAN.
It only took me about 30 seconds of flailing before I noticed the garbage at the bottom of the screen.

Nutzt von euch jemand zufällig #WOWtv fürs #Streaming auf einem #Linux-Rechner? Laut deren Liste unterstützter Geräte heißt es "Linux-Geräte werden nicht unterstützt." (Quelle: #Ubuntu darauf per HDMI an der Glotze hängen. Wäre schade, ein Monatsabo abzuschließen und dann geht es tatsächlich nicht.
Gerne Boost :)
Wieso ich frage? Weil ich gerne #LastOfUs schauen würde 🙈 🥹

I had been putting it off but I finally upgraded my #Linux laptop from #Kubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole) to 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) and it seems like nothing was broken. 🎉
#Ubuntu

We had a system crash last week with BSOD, a critical process died. Shoutout to #ubuntu for being able to boot off a live USB and copy the licenses and programs. Still sucks having to reset up, but better than losing everything.

Why I think setting software updates to completely automatic is a bad idea?
An apparently borked #LibreOffice #update from the #LinuxMint /

in the #jellyfin for #ubuntu (10.10.7) why would my Television library show only one series under Shows, three under Recently Added in Home and Suggestions, and yet appears to show all of my ./Television collection under Genres? Is there a trick to inform those other views?

Does #Ubuntu no longer provide a TEXT MODE install? Or is it because I'm trying the Desktop edition?

I had #Ubuntu installed with no network, but adding #UbuntuStudio installer caused problems so I tried their iso and once again it fails after curtin command install
ISO checks OK.

At 4 hours I left #ubuntu installer running and went to bed. This morning, at 16 hours, I killed the process. Trying again without entering the Live desktop but I do so WISH the devs had left SOME means to know why and where it fails.
This is why when folks ask me to help with their Windows machine, I gracefully decline.

Third attempt, it calls this round replacing #ubuntu and the manual partition page seemed to have things right, but I'm surprised an installer that takes so long has so little to say. /var/log/installer peeps a DEBUG now and then, but betrays no secrets. 52 minutes and counting, just passed probert.network and another flurry of udevadm empty queue successes.
