Greetings, https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/libzip5 Looks like the maintainers are ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com . Maybe ask there and see if someone can give you more details on why it hasn't been built yet.

So I'm going to start with a package I know. Hopefully I don't simplify my explanation to the point of being incorrect. :-D Linux-generic is a "package" that really isn't a package. It's more like a pointer to the latest version of the kernel. If you never flush out old kernels when you update, eventually (I think it's three old versions??) you will find that the repo no longer lists the kernels as available and apt will then basically say "I can't find this package anymore in the source list so therefore this package must have been installed manually." And that's how you can end up with "manually" installed packages that were actually installed by Ubuntu - it happens all the time. My *guess* is that you have an nvidia pointer package that is installing drivers for you. Eventually the version you are running is falling out of sync with the upstream source and thus your specific version is falling into "I can't find it anymore so it must be a manual install". Also, *IF* I remember correctly NVidia drivers are built to a specific version of the kernel but can be "loosely" linked. Thus, an NVidia driver for kernel 5.4.0.66.68 could work on 5.4.0.66.69 without recompile provided that nothing major changed in the kernel specific to its hooks. But eventually, you will update to a version of the kernel that isn't loosely linked and if the nvidia driver isn't automatically rebuilt with the update then things are going to go very poorly in driver quality. Here's my suspicion. If removing the NVidia drivers solves your problem, then you are wanting to stay on the nouveau drivers. Some update some where is telling your system to update to the NVidia drivers. They get out of sync and those drivers are then listed as "manual". Eventually those drivers clash/conflict with the latest kernel update and you end up with a bad display. I most often see this kind of thing happen with auto-updates in the background that pick the "best" option for you. [quick side rant] Telling someone to disable auto-updates is **TERRIBLE** advise. But this non-sense about drivers getting out of line is _precisely_ why I disable auto-update. I _loath_ it when I leave a perfectly functional system one night and log in the next morning to a busted upgrade... But I'm also paranoid and responsible enough that I subscribe to all the RSS feeds for all the security notices on my systems and I have planned times when I apply updates... But because the vast majority of users can't be bothered to actually do regular updates, then updates have to be forced on them automatically to prevent massive security issues and evil botnets which unfortunately means user systems "break unexpectedly". *sigh* [end rant] So what should you do? If you really don't want the NVidia drivers, then open up "software sources" and look for the "additional drivers" tab. Make sure that NVidia is disabled here. If you *DO* want the NVidia drivers, then make sure the appropriate driver is selected (if I recall correctly, there's like a stable, beta, and maybe something else?). And if you can't find "software sources", drop to the command line and try typing `software-properties` then hit the tab key to see if there are auto-completes for qt or gtk or whatever. It *should* be installed already if you did a default Ubuntu install though. From that same interface, on a different tab, you can also check to see what updates happen, and at what time interval updates are checked for and applied. I recommend you at least knowing what frequency this might be occurring on your system. Also, Ubuntu can churn through kernels. I recommend staying on top of any automated process that is updating behind the scenes. Knowing when and how often your computer is updating the kernel and then verifying if it is installing the nvidia drivers along side it might help you narrow down the who. Once you find the who - then you can file a bug report. It's been too long since I've really poked at the auto-update process for Ubuntu (besides just flat out turning it off!). I honestly don't remember
Issue with one of the torrent files for 20.04
Greetings, I've been seeding the torrent files all morning for 20.04. Been pushing a full pipe all day! Congrats to all who helped make it a reality! :-D There's one torrent that seems to have issues. I'm still seeding to quite a few people, but I get "Tracker gave an error: Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker". I thought maybe I'd just pulled it too soon or something, so I just now pulled the torrent. The file checked out and started seeding again. But I am still getting the error. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/20.04/release/ubuntu-20.04-live-server-arm64.iso.torrent Anyone else able to replicate? I don't see any other seeds, but it might be because the announce is bad. I'm certainly uploading is so I know others are out there using it. And none of the other torrents are acting up so I'm not sure what is going on with this one.

Lubuntu 20.04 testing feedback
Greetings, I thought I'd pass along a bit of feed back. I will start with the easy one. I tested the 20200413 daily live focal-desktop-amd64.iso on the MS Surface Pro2. Not only could I _not_ find a problem with it, I was SO impressed by how much better and responsive it was vs 18.04 (the OS previously installed). The detachable keyboard was sometimes hit-and-miss on if it would work on 18.04, but no matter how or what I tried I couldn't get it to fail with the 20.04 beta. I'm really impressed! Thank you and congratulations to all involved. The more interesting one is an HP 14-dq1033ci. I initially started with this iso: lubuntu-20.04-beta-desktop-amd64.iso . I found two things wrong that were not an issue on 19.10 but I think both are driver related and I'm not sure where to report a bug for them. 1. There was SERIOUS video tearing whenever there was any kind of movement on the screen. However, after today's intel-media-va-driver update to 19.4.0r+dsfg1-1 (at least, I'm guessing at this because it was the only thing that even semi-related package that makes sense), the vast majority of the tearing went away. If I click and hold the title of a window and move it around really fast, I can see it a little bit. And there are a few icons when I hover over them there will be a line through the icon until the next refresh, but there was SIGNIFICANT improvement after today's update. I did check, and I have all the relevant Intel driver packages (that I know about anyway) so I don't think I'm missing anything. I just never saw this kind of screen tear with this laptop using 19.10. 2. The web cam no longer works at all. If I start any program (such as Cheese), it is just a black screen. Shortly after boot this error below is in dmesg. To be honest, I've not had time to really research the issue so it could be something trivial on my end, but I thought I'd report it tonight since I've done a lot of testing yesterday and today. :-) [3.176709] uvcvideo 1-3:1.0: Entity type for entity Extension 4 was not initialized! [3.176712] uvcvideo 1-3:1.0: Entity type for entity Extension 3 was not initialized! [3.176714] uvcvideo 1-3:1.0: Entity type for entity Processing 2 was not initialized!

[3.176807] input: HP TrueVision HD Camera: HP Tru as /devices/pci:00/:00:14.0/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/input/input13 Overall, I'm SUPER impressed and VERY appreciative of all the hard work that people have put into this release. It looks like it is easily the best release yet! (and since I tend to jump LTS to LTS, I've even more excited about how great this beta has been in my testing!)

However, I'm 2 for 2 when reinstalling on my physical laptop. I did a bit more digging around and it looks like it is all gone but the Desktop icon/script. As it takes a while on my laptop, I won't try a third time tonight. I used this ISO for my testing: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20181002/cosmic-desktop-amd64.iso I used the usb-creator-gtk tool on a 18.04 laptop to make a USB install.

Re: Help Needed Testing Lubuntu 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish Beta!
Greetings, It wasn't until tonight that I had the opportunity to install on my laptop. Everything has gone really smoothly so far. Whoo! The only "oddity" is this. Why is there an option to install Lubuntu on my desktop after I've installed Lubuntu? ;-) I poked around in the bug tracker but didn't see anything about it.

I did some digging around and chris hermansen also helped by sending me a few links. It seems that a lot of the error messages that turned up in my log are reported already. I added a 'me too' to a few of them. I am planning on rebuilding the laptop from scratch later.

Having issues getting hardinfo to work on Xenial
Greetings, I had a Surface Pro 2 dumped on my desk at work. WTH am I going to do with this? Hrm...Will Ubuntu install? I had a 13.04 Lubuntu disk sitting near by...and it installed! But i didn't like the upgrade. Never really booted after that. If I am going to test, might was well do a proper test using the latest version. I grabbed a copy of Lubuntu Xenial 16.04 Daily Build From 2016-01-22. Smooth install. Smooth update. I have tested a bunch of my normal stuff and things are working great. Maybe I should tell someone! Maybe I should to testing based on the Ubuntu Laptop testing guide. That way I do a proper test and not just the few apps I use. Besides, why not? :-) The system is fully updated. Following this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Procedures It says to get my hardware from this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hardware Which asks me to run this: hardinfo -ram devices.so | sed '/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/,/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/d' | gist-paste However, $ hardinfo -ram devices.so Computer Summary sh: 1: /lib/libc.so.6: not found Segmentation fault (core dumped) OK fine.. $ sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6 $ hardinfo -ram devices.so Computer Summary Segmentation fault (core dumped) Well that popped up a "would you like to submit this crash to Ubuntu" window. Yes. But then it went away...not sure if it actually did submit. Hrm. If I try to have hardinfo generate a report, it fails and outputs a 0 byte file. Having never generated a testing report for Ubuntu before I am hesitant to continue the testing process when I can't seem to get past step 1. :-( Thoughts? $ lsusb Bus 003 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.

Re: Having issues getting hardinfo to work on Xenial
Greetings, I skipped the hardinfo as it isn't needed and I did a lot of the testing procedures. Everything worked as expected except for middle clicking (reported that already). Well, I just discovered another issue. Starting out in the dock, everything works as it should. Unplug from the dock and everything continues to work. Plug back into the dock, and complete freeze with a black screen. Hard reset required. On reboot I didn't see anything in particular that looked interesting in the logs for why the crash.
