Hmmm.... Guess I need to figure out why my Ubuntu sometimes slows to a crawl and doesn't recover. The mouse can barely move. I end up needing to hard reboot.
Alt control f1 doesn't do anything for me.
I've yet to find an app that will show me important events in a simple way to debug.

g'damit. why is it that even #ubuntu 25.10 still only has #libsodium v1.0.18? 1.0.20 is even getting stale (actually i just checked v1.0.21 is out since two weeks) and all i need is only 1.0.19, breaks my CI/CD pipeline.

new #debian packaging problem: trying to get `pbuilder create` to create a base image for packaging for #ubuntu noble i386 fails because there ist no package aptitude for that architecture:

apps really freak out on ubuntu when coming back from sleep/ suspend/ logged out. Some appear but I can't click them. some have weird shadows on the borders. It's a hot mess.
How long do I have to use ubuntu before people will let me say that Windows is less buggy then Linux?

I just wrote a prompt that I wrote a batch file for ... 33 years ago.
"Run a full sweep hardware test. Your tool list is ~/tools/list.md"
Here's the book I used back then to create my magic floppy. Now I made a magic USB stick with #Ubuntu and #Codex

As a #Linux user, I was a happy #Dell customer for years. I appreciate that they sell laptops with #Ubuntu pre-installed, testing the hardware beforehand and even shipping drivers for components that are a little tricky …

Just noticing how in #ubuntu 24 with 2 screens the frames dropped in youtube jumps when the other screen has a webpage that is anything other then a static bit of html. very upsetting!

Uh. Is this a known #ubuntu thing? Or is this a quirk of #Wayland?
Sometimes when I bring a window from the background it stays like this, text and icons all garbled. Sometimes if I resize or jiggle it, it sorts itself out, sometimes I have to kill it.

Love it when Ubuntu/Debian frees up space like this:
#apt #ubuntu #aptitude #debian

Really is wild how much little memory Ubuntu uses.

@… My #Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen4 has stopped charging yesterday running 25.x #ubuntu.
Hardware or software defect?
If I plugin I get a soundbar it seems not t…

hmmm... unclear but youtube started dropping frames again. Seems like the nvidia driver changes from 590 back to 570? I changed it back to 590 and I think it works better. small chance it's better because a computer restart?
I've restarted my #ubuntu more then I ever restarted windows.

So, wieder ein #Ubuntu unter das Volk gebracht.

Singal snap pack having a fun time trying to render in #ubuntu

OKAY. back to windows it is. Installing KDE on ubuntu and it being super laggy and then trying to uninstall it has my my Ubuntu no longer loading a UI at all. it's just a console input.
I tried. now I probably just need to reinstall Ubuntu to get back to a baseline.
#ubuntu

2nd time in 2 days ubuntu has frozen and crashed out to the login screen. I need to find some event log and find out what is happening.
#ubuntu

The multiple file GUI for ubuntu is not great. On windows you can incriment file numbers starting from any number... ubuntu lets you pick number format but it always starts from 1.
This is only a pain because of me ripping DVDs and trying to number episodes.

TIL this doc is inaccurate https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/compatibility/compatibility-matrix.html#compatibility-matrix
I can’t even install graphics drivers for RDNA4 on

gpatered is only a snappack and not a flatpack?
#ubuntu

I take so many screenshots. My keyboard doesn't have a print screen button so I had to remap screen shot to control home
#ubuntu

TBH I don't really understand what gnome is. I guess it's the UI ubuntu uses?
but the Dash To Panel gnome extension feels great as someone who is coming from windows.
#ubuntu #gnome

hmmmm okay I tried to install KDE on ubuntu.... but I did it on X11 instead of wayland?? when I switch to wayland on the login screen and login it's not KDE though.. and trying to reinstall it doesn't do much.
also KDE is super laggy and runs badly.

Do yall have a cloud backup service on linux/ubuntu?
#ubuntu

wild kubuntu seem to have the nextcloud desktop app in the "store" regular ubuntu did not.
I had to run:
sudo apt install nextcloud-desktop
the nextcloud website has you download some appImage file that I have no idea how to use.
also nextcloud on kubuntu was slow as ass. settings pane took 30 seconds to open.
#ubuntu

I have discovered flatpacks.
#ubuntu #linux

I moved my mouse about 10 seconds before this.
#ubuntu

Has anyone else dropped Kubuntu because of youtube dropped frames?
I think I'm the first.
#ubuntu

If the UI completely freezes any special keyboard commands to get it to unfreeze? Or do I just need to hard reboot?
#ubuntu

Hmm. After waking up kubuntu Firefox will not load, the system monitor is not responding and restart action seem to not respond.
#ubuntu

Converting some NTFS drives to ext4
#ubuntu

who uses nextcloud and which provider do you use? self hosted folks need not respond.
#linux #ubuntu

Perhaps I'm not really using the right words.
I think I don't care about backups as much as I want seemless cloud file sync.
dropbox has not been seemless. Google drive does not seem to be working on KDE.
#ubuntu

Firefox is choking on video on my 4k monitor on Kubuntu. Youtube's status for nerds is showing 10 - 20% of frames dropped.
Chromium is fine. I think removing all the monitor scaling helps but does not fully fix it.

GSConnect was interesting but I couldn't get the android phone to mount and I could only transfer one file at a time through the share option.
I'll just mount the phone with USB. wires are always better.
