Item to watch - install alongside, install using existing partition etc for Lubuntu jammy.
grub 2.06
I just rebooted my primary box (I tend to do about fornightly) so itād been running 16 days, and I was hit by the OS_PROBER issue.
My system is dual boot; my other OS being 20.04; but it wasnāt there for me to select in grub, in fact with only a single OS detected I didnāt even see the grub menu.
I havenāt confirmed this is an issue hitting new installs, but I bet it will. When Lubuntu 21.04 reaches EOL my current 21.04 install kept for support purposes will shift to a 22.04 QA-test install & Iāll be noticing this rather regularly I suspect.
Itās not impacting 20.04 installs I believe (last QA-test install with focal daily was 2-3 days ago), but Iām betting itāll hit certain BIOS jammy installs at a minimum (not full-disk or dual-boot types).
This topic created for tracking purposes primarily (itās still early days so this is of no importance currently)
Ran into this issue twice in the past few days installing Kubuntu Jammy and also Ubuntu Mate Jammy on āinstall alongsideā installs. The original bug report is here Bug #1955109.
Planning on testing Lubuntu Jammy later today.
Iām disappointed in that I saw that bug report appear on #ubuntu-bugs-announce, and intended to test for itā¦ but never got around to it Alas, it was forgotten and whilst I was convinced Iād seen a report for it; I didnāt find it when this box didnāt have the other OS listed (I think I found the original focal report & it b/c of the focal on it I missed itās importance).
<lubot> [telegram] <Leokolb> Ran an upgrade from 21.10 to Jammy - upgrade went well but Firefox
was not on the menu(installed after the upgrade ..then opened Discover installed Firefox and all
settings were retained (re @kc2bez: In my limited testing it should retain your settings and
extensions.)
<lubot> [telegram] <Leokolb> Test result of upgrade @kc2bez http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/429/builds/244252/testcases/1310/results/
..
<lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> I think we will need to provide instructions in the release notes.
Clicking About & then clicking a LINKā¦ after which there is a VERY LOOONG pause before a link opensā¦ I think release notes mention maybe required?? b/c of firefox snap usage; and it being somewhat slower to start on initial run. My USB has no LED to show read/write so it does āfeelā like it didnāt workā¦
I knew to be patient. but new users, or installers who arenāt expecting the package type change, may declare itās not workingā¦
Thanks to @leok for noticing, however itās now confirmed weāre not alone with this (Ubuntu Desktop canary), so hopefully itāll get fixed soon to & is not a Lubuntu issue directly.
By the way, I took a ādeeperā look today and theyāre two distinct versions. The snap is a different version than the one installed from the traditional repositories. I looked just to satisfy my own curiosity.
We donāt really need more confirmation. I was just curious.
I believe the grub issue has been resolved. I can install many systems now without issue, including our āInstall using existing partitionā without needing to manually fix grubā¦ Weāll just watch it.
Wallpaper change, 2x firefox items & ISO creation issue
This issue is really a concern for 22.04.1 as only impish (21.10) users will see the upgrade process to jammy (22.04) after 22.04ās release, so we can monitor this [for now].
Not technically a Jammy-specific problem but worth mentioning, the iso tracker site is now back to performing in a reasonable manner - no longer taking close to two minutes to load some pages.
So, whoever was tracking that, it has been fine for a few days now. For whoever fixed it, thanks.
Tested today (04-04-2022) upgrading from Lubuntu Focal 20.04.4 LTS to Lubuntu Jammy LTS - on 2 boxes with no errors. All upgrades from Focal and Impish now no longer an issue.
