Disappeared "Launch" button in the Snap Store (Ubuntu Software)
The "Launch" button is not available for snaps in recent Ubuntu versions since at least 2019-09-13: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-store-desktop/+bug/1843898 Looks like a showstopper bug. People install apps, but can't launch them. Instead they should find installed apps somewhere in the system. Why doesn't anyone care? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

The alternative implementation of Ubuntu user statistics
Hello, I've recently initiated a new statistical project based on anonymously collected outputs of hwinfo, smartmontools and dmidecode utilities called "Linux Hardware Trends". The report for Ubuntu is now here: https://github.com/linuxhw/Trends/tree/master/Dist/Ubuntu The report can be considered as an alternative to Ubuntu user statistics (https://ubuntu.com/desktop/statistics) and helps to answer questions like "How popular are 32-bit systems?", "How fast is SSD market share growing?", "Which hard drives are less reliable?", "How many computers use old CPU microcode?", "How good is device drivers support?", etc. Please let me know if you are interested in tracking any OS/hardware characteristics that are not currently included in the report. The data is collected by the Snap package here: https://snapcraft.io/hw-probe Thanks. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Ubuntu Hardware database
This feature is already in the TODO list and called "Probe Review". In Probe Review mode you'll be able to modify auto-detected statuses for devices and write comments w/o the need to register (manually reviewed by the admin + intelligent spam protection). As usual all contributions will be dumped to a new github repository: https://github.com/linuxhw Hope next version of smartmontools will help us to detect failure status of nvme drives automatically) Thank you! 27.10.2018, 20:36, "Christopher Patti" :Thank you for this. Very cool. I wish I could tell it that some devices are in fact working - like my nvme SSD drives on which my current LInux is running :) https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=75aeae69ad However seeing all my devices and chipsets enumerated is pretty neat :) -Chris On Wed, Oct 24, 2018, at 3:33 AM, Andrey Ponomarenko wrote:Hi, Good news for everyone interested in Linux-compatibility and reliability of hardware!

Hi, I've just created a Deb package for hw-probe. See https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe/blob/master/INSTALL.md#install-on-debian. The command to replenish the database: sudo hw-probe -all -upload One can also use a lightweight all-in-one AppImage (Debian 8 and later, Ubuntu 12.04 and later) or Snap package (Debian 9 and later, Ubuntu 14.04 and later) to make a probe of the computer w/o the need to install any Deb packages to the system: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe#appimage https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe#snap Deb package sources are available in the OBS project: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:linuxbuild/hw-probe Thank you. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
ABI Navigator — a project to search for binary symbols
Hello, I'd like to present a new project called "ABI Navigator" for searching binary symbols (functions, methods, global data, etc.) in open-source libraries: https://abi-laboratory.pro/index.php?view=navigator The project allows to find out in which versions of libraries some symbol is defined, added, removed or changed. The data is taken from the ABI Tracker project (238 libraries and 0.9 million symbols currently): https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/ Example for _ZN5Botan18LibraryInitializer10initializeERKSs from libbotan.so: https://abi-laboratory.pro/index.php?view=navigator=_ZN5Botan18LibraryInitializer10initializeERKSs#result The project aims to help Linux developers and maintainers to resolve issues with missed symbols and navigate through the reports in the ABI Tracker. Have you ever encountered the "undefined reference" error or want to know whether the symbol is _stable_ enough to use in your code? Try to find it in the ABI Navigator!
