[06:20] <guiverc> fyi: a xubuntu 18.04.4 install also failed to let me select any drive other than sdc (trying to install alongside sda) - identical issue to Lubuntu 18.04.4 yesterday..
[09:58] <kc2bez> That makes sense guiverc I am not sure if you saw or not but mate was having the same issue.
[09:58] <kc2bez> There is a great deal of discussion in #ubuntu-release
[10:32] <guiverc> nah I didn't see (-release) kc2bez ; I'm just home from dinner @ parents; (early tonight), so thanks
[10:44] <guiverc> Also I don't need to be specifically mentioned in 18.04.4 release notes (esp. if alone unless helpful for recruiting or something), but thanks. LeoK has a few listed too
[11:19] <kc2bez> guiverc: I fixed that ;)
[11:20] <kc2bez> Credit where credit is due.
[11:41] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> https://thenewstack.io/wireguard-vpn-protocol-coming-to-a-linux-kernel-near-you/
[11:41] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> Yay!
[11:41] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> Will we have 5.6 in 20.04?
[11:41] <lubot> <kc2bez> it seems unlikely
[11:42] <lubot> <kc2bez> but I may be wrong
[11:43] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> Even if it doesn't make it, I am sure it might be available later as hwe. Won't it? … But I'd very much like it to be there in focal
[11:45] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> One more great thing coming in with 5.6 is multipath TCP. A professor asked me today about it. He has a project related to it.
[11:46] <kc2bez> It depends on when it gets released. judging from the release cadence it will be a few months at the earliest probably
[11:47] <kc2bez> 5.5 was only released 9 days ago looking at git
[11:48] <kc2bez> 5.4 was released in November and 5.3 was September
[11:49] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> Might get released just before focal release.
[11:49] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> Hope we get it in.
[14:41] <lubot> <wxl23> @franksmcb your input needed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1861912
[14:42] <lubot> <wxl23> Also anyone with I386 ^
[14:47] <lubot> <wxl23> Leok fixed his comments. He WAS testing 18.04.4
[15:15] <lubot> <kc2bez> ok thanks @wxl23
[15:46] <lubot> <wxl23> Also his installs succeeded, just those bugs were the problem
[16:07] <lubot> <franksmcb> @wxl23 [@franksmcb your input needed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/ …], I'll update that in a moment
[16:08] <lubot> <N0um3n0> @The_LoudSpeaker [Might get released just before focal release.], When is the kernel freeze?
[16:53] <The_LoudSpeaker> April 9th
[16:58] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> @N0um3n0
[16:58] <lubot> <N0um3n0> Thanks @The_LoudSpeaker
[17:00] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> You can find more info here: … https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule
[17:01] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> And in the topic of #ubuntu+1
[19:21] <wxl> @franksmcb looks like in #ubuntu-release they've pretty much called it a non-blocker because they can't seem to reproduce it.
[19:22] <wxl> guiverc if you can add your experience to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1861912 it would be great
[19:22] <ubot93> Launchpad bug 1861912 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "file system creation in partition failed in auto-resize install 18.04.4" [High, Incomplete]
[19:22] <wxl> in an ideal world, with as many flavors as possible
[19:23] <wxl> and actually what would be best: get on irc in #ubuntu-release and talk to sil2100, juliank, jibel and mwhudson
[20:34] <wxl> https://news.softpedia.com/news/ten-year-old-sudo-bug-giving-root-privileges-to-any-user-gets-a-fix-529096.shtml
[20:34] <wxl> ^ proof that mint is indeed quite different than ubuntu
[20:35] <wxl> also TIL sudo's logo is a BLT apparently https://www.sudo.ws/alerts/pwfeedback.html
[20:35] <wxl> of course it might be tempeh
[20:37] <wxl> this might be good to recommend to folks coming from windows 7 https://ubuntu.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-from-windows-7-to-ubuntu-installation
[20:37] <wxl> it's roughly comparable
[22:17] <wxl> @teward001 i got a notice like this when trying to connect to discourse via github.. any ideas? https://community.auth0.com/t/the-github-social-connection-is-passing-access-token-as-part-of-a-query-param/37403
[22:31] <guiverc> maybe release notes will require a suggestion for i386 images, we had problems with auto-resize so to avoid auto-resize/install-alongside, use manual-partitining/something-else after reducing size yourself..
[22:31] <lubot> <kc2bez> It definitely will if a fix is not found and it gets released as is.
[22:32] <lubot> <kc2bez> Which is the way it looks right now.
[22:33] <lubot> <kc2bez> If you have any other thoughts on that please let me know so I can include them.
