Hello there, I am facing two issues on noble dev branch (x86_64). Running it on a Intel 8th Gen CPU, Kernel: 6.8.0-11-generic, Shell: bash 5.2.21, and DE: GNOME 46.0.
The post is a bit long, for which I apologize. If you’ve read through it, thank you for your time and patience.
- First Issue: You can see it in the image below. It requires authentication because the login keyring did not get unlocked when I logged in. This issue did not exist before. It must have happened after some recent upgrade.
- Other issue: Some packages kept being held back during apt upgrade but later on, I just tried using apt install and it worked. Why? I will just copy and paste the terminal outputs which should hopefully be self-explanatory.
user@pc-device:~$ sudo apt upgrade gnome-shell
