After I updated Ubuntu to 24.04, my PHP script to list all the HTTP servers on my PC[*] doesn't work any more. It seems that the www-data user can't use lsof to see device info on ports opened by my own user any more.
Does anyone know if I must have previously done something to allow www-data to see processes started by my user, or is this a change since 22.04?
@christianp oh, oops, I can be more detailed about the options above if you like. I’ve just been answering on my phone which doesn’t lend itself to code.
.deb oder Snap ist mir eigentlich egal. Hauptsache es funktioniert. Aber wenn #Ubuntu schon beim #Thunderbird auf Snap umstellt, dann wäre es nett, wenn mein Profil importiert würde. Warum ist denn das mein Job?
Ich finde nicht einmal eine funktionierende Anleitung dazu... 🙄
Zainstalowałem sobie wczoraj na komputerze w biurze domowym #Ubuntu. Jak zwykle poszło gładko (poza tym że zapomniałem wyłączyć BitLockera przed rozpoczęciem instalacji i musiałem klucz odzyskać 🤪) ale najbardziej rozbawiło mnie to, że nieoficjalna "apka" MS Teams na Linuxa działa dużo lepiej niż prawilna na Windows.
(Tak, wiem że to tylko wrapper na www)

For quite a while now, I have relied on terminal into my Windows Subsystem for Linux on my main workstation, as my daily driver. While it works all right for most cases, there are certain compatibility issues that requires a "... in WSL" search term for documentations/issues.
Close to a month now I have been using a #Ubuntu#terminal only VM on my #homelab#Proxmox cluster. For ones who can roll this out, this seems the best approach.
@AngryAnt@elan The reason I have not switched to Linux DE is mainly due to certain Microsoft productivity apps required for consulting work I do for corporate/enterprises.
I just need to figure out a workflow where I can switch Windows to a secondary workstation/VM and then I would switch to Linux DE.
My experience with #elementaryOS so far has not been great. After installing I had to do a bit of tinkering to install the right Nvidia drivers and be able to boot to GUI, many times the system hangs after coming back from suspend, the default terminal has some issue that makes it laggy, etc.
Reading about Ubuntu and nvidia’s LLM development collaboration, it seems like none of the features will be forced on end users via software updates. It seems like an opt-in situation, for which I’m thankful. As Microsoft and other companies are going about LLM integration wrong. Forcing users to test unsafe software is a horrible strategy.
@jaifroid I could’ve worded my post a bit differently. My worry stems from the deep integration that Microsoft went with, without giving Home Users a direct method of fully opting in or out of said integration. Pro and Enterprise have an easier method using the Policy Editor. I can use the Registry Editor; that method tends to be rather dicy. It makes me wonder how much data they are casually using to train Copilot. The Recall feature they’re working on feels very invasive.
@jaifroid Without clear and easy ways to completely opt out in settings for Home Users…My visceral response is immediate discomfort and feeling that it is being forced into Windows. As Microsoft clearly could have chosen to make Copilot completely opt-in instead of opting out.
🚀 I just published a short guide explaining how to upgrade PostgreSQL 🐘 from version 15 to 16 just after an upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) 🦘
@jadolg I often leverage the launchpad build farm when I had these issues by the way. "snapcraft remote-build" is a nice way to get multiple architecture builds of stuff, using someone else's compute :D
"Our plan is to grow the Ubuntu Desktop team by at least another 50% over the next year and we are opening a range of positions across all levels of seniority in the coming weeks. At Canonical we think the future is bright for the Linux desktop and if you have the passion and skills to be at the cutting edge of performance, security, immutability and accessibility then we want to hear from you."
@popey
Now try learning another language (spoken) and repent having no clue about grammar! I've learnt more about grammar since having to learn another language, than ever in school, as contrary to some popular belief, English is not widely spoken everywhere in Europe, and without the foundation of linguistic terminology and structure, it's an uphill struggle I can tell you! (If we hadn't been forced to learn some French in school, I'd be stuffed!)
@popey yeah, sorry, I shouldn't (shit)post while working, this I knew, just that I never used anything on this machine that requires all that side of the stack, but maybe #Ubuntu is installing it just to provide a base system were you could 'install anything'.

Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text.
Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
Snaps are confined, as such Discord may be unable to perform some of the
tasks it typically does when unconfined. This may result in the system log
getting spammed with apparmor errors. Granting access to the system-observe
interface when in the snap will enable the features, and thus reduce the
logging.

Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS) is also critically broken. Example: Depending on your storage configuration IO performance can be 100x worse when compared to an unpatched mainline kernel. (dsync when using mdraid 5 or 6 on NVMe)
Para los que tengáis problemas ejecutando RStudio desde Ubuntu 24.04 probad a ejecutar esto desde un terminal:

¿Alguien sabe cómo desinstalar un OS mal instalado sin formatear el disco? Tengo un amigo que tiene una compu con dos discos y quiso instalar Ubuntu en uno y Windows en el otro, pero cometió un error y le quedó el #Ubuntu mal instalado sobre el mismo disco del Windows. Tiene algunos programas en Windows que no quiere perder, por lo cual no se puede formatear el disco. ¿Podemos remover el Ubuntu sólo con un disco de instalación o algo así? Y ya después instalamos correctamente en el otro. #Limux
@jerojasro@nestor no, no queremos fusionar nada. Queremos "desinstalar" el ubuntu o elimiar lo que sea que quedó ocupando todo ese espacio, para poder instalarlo correctamente en el otro disco duro, y así con dual boot poder usar cualquiera de los dos sistemas operativos, uno en cada disco.
Je trouve des limitations à #LibreOffice, pas insurmontables mais qui gâchent un peu la fête niveau comptabilité avec MS Word (exemples : les positionnements d'images et les "bullet points"), et OnlyOffice semble à première vue plus élégant dans son interface et peut-être bien aussi plus compatible.
