[Bug 2061313] Re: New Kubuntu icon's transparent background looks broken in some areas

2024-04-15 Thread Michael Mikowski
Can we please use the white gear? It's a blessed variation of the logo
per the design guide, and it will not clash with any background. I can
create the image if needed. The dark blue will never look as good.

[Bug 1969984] Re: [SRU] Kubuntu Plymouth Theme Shows Badly on Multi-Screen

2022-05-04 Thread Michael Mikowski
Hi Everyone:

VERFIFIED: I tested this and the expected results are now present. That
is, the Plymouth theme shows as centered on all monitors along with
password entry box.

I think we should also take comfort in this is just a re-skin of the
Ubuntu Studio Plymouth which has been distributed for over 18 months.

Again, thank you Erich, Chris, and Rik. Attention to first-touch
experience I feel is very important to users, especially those moving
from proprietary systems.

[Bug 1969984] Re: Plymouth Login Shows Badly on Multi-Screen Setup

2022-04-24 Thread Michael Mikowski
Here is the Ubuntu Studio Plymouth theme in use which is has scaling
implemented. This looks great across all attached screens.

We can likely create an updated Kubuntu Plymouth theme that is also
scaling to replace the existing one if there is interest.

** Summary changed:

- Plymouth Login Shows Badly on Multi-Screen Setup
+ Kubuntu Plymouth Shows Badly on Multi-Screen

** Description changed:

  Summary:
  
- The plymouth theme for startup and disk decryption is off-center on
- multi-monitor setups with varying resolutions.
+ The Kubuntu Plymouth theme for startup and disk decryption is off-center
+ on multi-monitor setups with varying resolutions.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  - Connect a 4k external display to a 1080p system.
  - Start Kubuntu 22.04 LTS
  
  Actual Results
  
  The Plymouth startup and disk encryption graphic are shifted down and to
  the right. This do NOT occur when using a single screen.
  
  Expected Results:
  
  The theme and disk encryption graphic should either be centered on all
  screens, or, as in Focal, should only be shown on the laptop screen.
  
  TODO
  
  - Test with more monitor resolutions
  
  See the attached images.
  
  Assessment:
  
  This is likely due to a non-responsive (old-style) Plymouth theme. We
  could likely create a responsive if it is acceptable.

[Bug 1960089] Re: Request 2.0 GiB Boot Partition for 22.04LTS FDE

2022-03-24 Thread Michael Mikowski
@phd The /boot/efi partition size of 512MiB is far larger than most
people need, but it does cover almost all potential use cases included
dual boot. If that partition gets corrupted or filled, it could prevent
boot of any OS on that disk. For this reason, I believe the team went
with the sensible choice and kept that size to prevent this
catastrophic, and for many people, unrecoverable error.

There are certainly other reasons why /boot/efi is separate. As you
mentioned, symlinks are lost, and I speculate that might necessitate
full copies of initrd.img, for example, which would completely negate
any space savings from combining the two. And of course, if you do that
and load up too many kernels, the /boot/efi partition can get corrupted,
which is even worse than an overfull boot partition.

It seems to your suggestion of providing the user the opportunity to
specify the /boot partition size on install is an excellent choice, and
IMO is a great resolution to the issue. Customers who run development,
AI, and content-creation workstations definitely need a larger boot
allocation, whereas Raspberry Pi hobbyists are probably fine with the
default, although I wonder how many of the latter actually need or use
LVM or LVM+LUKS (FDE).

2022-03-02 Thread Michael Mikowski
** Description changed:

+ Upstream bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451056
+ 
  Summary:
  
  Kwin is showing the following anomalies. These are not constant, but
  occur frequently (10-20 times) per day. They all appear to be associated
  with a scaling issue, so I have grouped them here. I will work to
  provide a better guide to reproduce as I find out more.  Driver package
  is nvidia-driver-470.
  
  1. When moving windows, the window will not move with the cursor but will 
continue to move the window further downwards on the screen even as the cursor 
is pushed further up. In fact, the speed at which a window moves down appears 
proportional to the upward movement of the cursor.
  2. Windows that are moved as in (1) will often "slide off screen" and are 
inaccessible using the cursor although they still exist in the panel. Windows 
include IntelliJ Pro, Google Chrome, Konsole.
  3. Windows that have been tiled (e.g. press meta + arrow key) when moved by 
dragging the title bar, will vertically collapse to only the height of the 
title bar. After dropping this title bar, one cannot select or move it again 
from the screen. Windows include IntelliJ Pro, Google Chrome, Konsole
  4. Windows spawned by dragging a tab from one window onto an empty space 
(e.g. dragging a tab from a firefox browser or konsole session onto an empty 
space on the desktop) are placed badly - usually far away from the intended 
location, and sometimes off-screen as in (2).
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  - Run Jammy with multiple 4K monitors attached. I've tried this with a high 
font DPI setting (System Settings > Fonts > Force DPI = 144) and fractional 
scaling (System Settings > Displays > Global Scale = 150%). These symptoms 
occur in either setting. I have not confirmed if this works without either.
  - Launch an app such as konsole or google-chrome (the latter seems highly 
susceptible).
  - Tile and drag windows. This results in issues (1), (2), and (3), above.
  - Drag a tab from konsole or firefox into an empty space. The window will be 
placed incorrectly even if the area dragged to is completely open.
  
  Potential Solutions:
  This appears may be a flaw with cursor position scaling in Kwin. In contrast, 
this bug does NOT exist in the prior KDE LTS found in Kubuntu 20.04.4.

[Bug 1961631] Re: Static Launch Feedback not consistent with convention

2022-02-22 Thread Michael Mikowski
Hi Rik, of course this is opinion. The prior decision to override the
KDE default was also driven by an opinion. However, I feel the team at
KDE have excellent UX designers these days, and as professional UX
designer as well, I agree with their assessment.

This appears to be the only adjustment of substance in
/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/klaunchrc. Deleting this file
reverts to the KDE default behavior with the animated launch feedback.

If you decide to go this route, I hope you find this useful.

[Bug 1960089] Re: Request 2.0 GiB Boot Partition for 22.04LTS FDE

2022-02-21 Thread Michael Mikowski
** Description changed:

  Summary:
  
  We propose to increase the LVM /boot partition to 2.0 GiB. This provides
  the space needed so advanced users can use best practice to manage up to
  3 kernel flavors. The current /boot partition on 20.04 and 22.04 is
  limited to just 705MiB, which allows only 3 concurrent kernels before
  filling and sometimes locking the system (each image set takes 180MiB
  total; 4 x 180 = 720MiB > 705MiB).
  
  Reasoning:
  
  Best practice recommends users keep at least two version of each kernel
  flavor in the /boot directory. If a user has 3 kernel flavors installed
  (e.g. oem, generic-hwe, and lowlatency-hwe), then one needs to reserve
  room for 2 x 3 = 6 kernels.
  
  The system needs the headroom of at least two additional kernels during
  any automated clean-up process due to package removal scheduling. I
  propose to also reserve room for 2 additional kernels as a safety
  measure. Thus the total recommend available space should accommodate 10
  kernels.
  
  Each kernel file set takes up 180MiB in the /boot partition when used
  with Nvidia driver modules. These files include initrd.img, system.map,
  and vmlinuz. With future kernel and module growth, this may surpass
  200MiB soon. Therefore, we suggest planning for 200M for each kernel.
  
  We therefore request a total LVM /boot partition size of 10 image x
- 200MiB = 2.0 GiB.
+ 200MiB = 2.0GiB.
  
  Other Considerations:
  
  When unattended-upgrades works correctly (which does not yet employ best
  practice), we have seen users with just a single kernel flavor over-fill
  their /boot partitions. This is because unattended-upgrades can retain
  up to 4 kernels, while the /boot partition is only large enough for 3. I
  am currently working with others to improve the unattended-upgrades
  algorithm to use best practice.
  
  The installer could allow users to resize the /boot partition during
- installation. In this case, we highly recommend a 2.0 GB default for the
+ installation. In this case, we highly recommend a 2.0GiB default for the
  reasons outlined above.

  the space needed so advanced users can use best practice to manage up to
  3 kernel flavors. The current /boot partition on 20.04 and 22.04 is

+ total; 4 x 180 = 720MiB > 705MiB).
  
  Reasoning:
  
  Best practice recommends users keep at least two version of each kernel
  flavor in the /boot directory. If a user has 3 kernel flavors installed
  (e.g. oem, generic-hwe, and lowlatency-hwe), then one needs to reserve
  room for 2 x 3 = 6 kernels.
  
  The system needs the headroom of at least two additional kernels during
  any automated clean-up process due to package removal scheduling. I
  propose to also reserve room for 2 additional kernels as a safety
  measure. Thus the total recommend available space should accommodate 10
  kernels.
  
- Each kernel file set takes up 180M in the /boot partition when used with

  Other Considerations:
  
  When unattended-upgrades works correctly (which does not yet employ best
  practice), we have seen users with just a single kernel flavor over-fill
  their /boot partitions. This is because unattended-upgrades can retain
  up to 4 kernels, while the /boot partition is only large enough for 3. I
  am currently working with others to improve the unattended-upgrades
  algorithm to use best practice.
  
  The installer could allow users to resize the /boot partition during
  installation. In this case, we highly recommend a 2.0 GB default for the
  reasons outlined above.

[Bug 1914278] Re: Kernel updates marked as "manually installed", prevents old kernels cleanup

2022-02-21 Thread Michael Mikowski
@ximion thanks for this substantial work. The list of enhancements looks
impressive. In testing on Jammy where I compare this to the prior
versions, manual and automatic marks are as before which is good. We
haven't confirmed meta package upgrades that pull in new dependencies
(as with kernel packages) because we haven't seen an upgrade yet.
However, we may build a package to test this.

[Bug 1959971] Re: increase /boot partition size

2022-02-14 Thread Michael Mikowski
@sil2100 @brian-murray: Thank you for your work and consideration on
this. We addressed this issue Kubuntu Focus OEM ISO
(https://kfocus.org/try) by increasing the /boot partition size and
providing an app that monitors and removes unused kernels
(https://kfocus.org/wf/tools#kclean). We want to share our findings
upstream for the benefit of everyone that uses client Ubuntu with FDE.
In summary, an additional 1.2G of disk space is a very small price to
pay to avoid the expense of guiding non-expert users to recover from an
over-full partition.

[Bug 1959971] Re: increase /boot partition size

2022-02-10 Thread Michael Mikowski
Design Failure Mode Effects Analysis

System: Boot

Potential Failure Mode: /boot partition overfills

Effects of Failure: To return the system to a usable state, the user
must have advanced knowledge and an available system recovery disk. The
procedure involves disk mounting, chroot, package management, and deep
file system knowledge. This is outside the range of most target users.

Severity: 10 (system is completely unusable until recovery, and recovery
is very expensive)

Causes of Failure: 
1. Multiple kernel updates between reboots will overfill the standard 705M 
/boot partition with over 3 kernels.
2. User installing generic and lowlatency hwe kernels. They may also have 
transient kernels when switching to another kernel like oem.

Preventative Activities: 
1. There does not appear to be any tool to guide kernel selection for users or 
ensure the latest and penultimate versions are reserved for the kernels.
2. There does not appear to be any testing which prevents installation of a 
kernel that would over-fill the disk.
3. unattended-upgrades tries to clean images that fill up the /boot disk, but 
it does not consider disk space, and even when it work (which is a whole other 
issue), the /boot disk is required to hold 4 images at times which is not 
feasible with the current 705M and 180M file set size.

Occurrence: 5 (even users with a singe Kernel flavor encounter this)

Detection Rating: 9

Risk Priority Number: Severity * Occurrence * Detection = 450

Take Away Points:

* The DFMEA indicates this is a severe issue that should be considered critical.
* When an overfull /boot disk occurs, the effect is catastrophic to the the 
average user, and for many is simple unrecoverable. This can and does drive 
users to abandon the OS when this occurs.
* Existing controls to prevent occurrence are inadequate (automated upgrades 
still allows disk to over fill when using a single kernel flavor, and does not 
consider disk space) or completely missing (users are not guided on the issue 
of kernel management). The popularity of forum posts over the years about this 
issue illustrates this is a substantial problem.
* This issue goes beyond /boot partition size, but the increasing it to handle 
all possible transient states is required for a complete solution.
* Disk space is cheap these days. On consumer desktop solutions, 2.0GB is a 
small price to pay to avoid a catastrophic failure which is otherwise 
unrecoverable for many users.

[Bug 1959971] Re: increase /boot partition size

2022-02-07 Thread Michael Mikowski
Hi Ɓukasz and Brian: I have been doing quite a bit of research in this
area recently, and also am advocating to get kernel management and
cleanup improved, especially for users who must have separate /boot
partitions. This means professional users who are required to have full
disk encryption according to company IT policies.

Using best practice to manage 3 kernel packages (e.g. oem, lowlatency-
hwe, generic-hwe) results in the need to maintain 6 kernel file sets
(latest and penultimate version for each kernel). Because of the way
kernel cleaning is scheduled, additional space is also required for at
least 2 additional images. You can see the entire reasoning and details
at LP: #1960089.

Our conclusion is that 2.0 GB is the preferred target /boot partition
size for professional systems. This is reinforced by my research which
shows many pros recommend this same size when discussing partitioning
(Just one example: https://adventures-in-
tech.blogspot.com/2018/10/encrypted-ubuntu-installation-with.html)

Given disk space these days, this seems like a small price to pay to
support best practice and (hopefully) a future unattended upgrades
algorithm that honors them as well.

[Bug 1960089] [NEW] Ubiquity Boot Partition for LVM needs to be 2.0 GB for 22.04LTS

2022-02-04 Thread Michael Mikowski
Public bug reported:

Summary:

We propose to increase the LVM /boot partition to 2.0 GB. This provides
the space needed so advanced users can use best practice to manage up to
3 kernel flavors. The current /boot partition on 20.04 and 22.04 is
limited to just 705M, which allows only 3 concurrent kernels before
filling and sometimes locking the system (each image set takes 180M
total; 4 x 180 = 720M > 705M).

Reasoning:

Best practice recommends users keep at least two version of each kernel
flavor in the /boot directory. If a user has 3 kernel flavors installed
(e.g. oem, generic-hwe, and lowlatency-hwe), then one needs to reserve
room for 2 x 3 = 6 kernels.

The system needs the headroom of at least two additional kernels during
any automated clean-up process due to package removal scheduling. I
propose to also reserve room for 2 additional kernels as a safety
measure. Thus the total recommend available space should accommodate 10
kernels.

Each kernel file set takes up 180M in the /boot partition when used with
Nvidia driver modules. These files include initrd.img, system.map, and
vmlinuz. With future kernel and module growth, this may surpass 200M
soon. Therefore, we suggest planning for 200M for each kernel.

We therefore request a total LVM /boot partition size of 10 image x 200M
= 2.0 GB.

Other Considerations:

When unattended-upgrades works correctly (which does not yet employ best
practice), we have seen users with just a single kernel flavor over-fill
their /boot partitions. This is because unattended-upgrades can retain
up to 4 kernels, while the /boot partition is only large enough for 3. I
am currently working with others to improve the unattended-upgrades
algorithm to use best practice.

The installer could allow users to resize the /boot partition during
installation. In this case, we highly recommend a 2.0 GB default for the
reasons outlined above.
