And the fix is already in the Proposed pocket. You will see it soonish™.
EDIT: Mine hit the release pocket as we speak.

Noticed this morning the dot notifying you of open application is overlapped by the Application name.
The system itself is looking amazing and very stable. I didn’t spot any bugs for a while now, and i’m using it daily as my main OS for the past few weeks.
However, i’m having a some trouble with the Store. For instance, Firefox is shown as not installed (image), probably because the only options listed are from Snapcraft (i’m using the version that came pre-installed). And the default action for “.deb” file seems to be “Open with archive manager” and not the store (i can’t confirm that one but i don’t recall changing this config before).
My system is fully upgraded, including proposed updates.
Edit:
-
The list of installed apps is empty: I think this was a temporary bug. Rebooted the system and now it shows everything but Firefox. MongoDB Compass, installed via .deb, also is not shown.
-
Steam installer is shown with a generic icon. Not a big deal, but i almost missed it because of this.

I am also on wayland.
I have the same issue, but was able to right click on the .deb file and choose application installer. Which open with Ubuntu Software.

On my laptop HP 250 after updates from kernel 5.4.0-21 to 5.4.0-24 Ethernet RTL810xE stopped working. Wifi still works fine.
Ethernet is ok starting with old kernel 5.4.0-21 and also with mainline kernels 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7rc1
It’s also ok on Ubuntu 19.10

I’m just highlighting this snapd issue which I am now seeing on every restart or shutdown…
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1873550
…very annoying. I initially thought that my PC was crashing on every restart or shutdown.
It took me a while to appreciate that my PC would eventually restart but only after waiting for a snap related process to complete after 1m 30s and that I needed to press ‘Escape’ in order to see the count up before the restart or shutdown continued. Otherwise I would just see a blinking cursor in the top left hand corner of my screen for what just seemed a very long time.
If anyone else is seeing this issue please add appropriate comments to the bug report or simply mark it as affecting you too,
I just realized that i cannot use “ubuntu-bug” to report bugs found in Snap-Store.
Using ubuntu-bug snap-store returns an error that snap-store was not found.
Using ubuntu-bug -w and then clicking in the snap-store windows returns the error: “The crashed program seems to use third-party or local libraries”.
That’s my main gripe with snaps: At least up til now they are completely alien to the rest of the unix userland. ubuntu-bug snap? man snap? info snap? No dice.
So my ThinkPad X1 Yoga’s tablet mode sorta works (installed libinput-tools), but there’s an issue where, after flipping to tablet mode, the sensors seems to have turned off. Cannot re-enable laptop mode.
Did someone manage to run Steam with a dedicated Nvidia gpu?
I was having some problems with Nvidia driver and decided to reinstall the system with the Beta ISO. I didn’t enable “proposed” updates, and i installed nvidia driver after installation, using driver manager. Everything seems to be working fine now, but when i open Steam using the dedicated GPU option it simply doesn’t open. I installed Steam using steam-installer pkg.
It keeps 3 process opened but the interface never show up.

Yes, i believe so. The exact info is below.
Something very weird is happening with nvidia-driver. I don’t know why the system have installed “lowlatency” kernels and set them as default. Using the lowlatency kernel i managed to open Steam and play the games normally. However, when i switch to “generic” kernel, the driver doesn’t work anymore. nvidia-smi command returns an error, “about system” only shows Mesa driver and the option to “open with dedicated gpu” doesn’t even appear anymore.
Is the “lowlatency” kernel really the default now? Isn’t nvidia-driver supposed to work with all the kernels installed, or it really only works with the “default” one?
Ps.: Both kernels are “5.4.0-25”

The low latency kernel is not default on Ubuntu, you’re either using something else or installed it.
If you installed nvidia driver on the low latency kernel it may only have built a module for that kernel.
The "open with dedicated gpu” option on nvidia dedicated and optimus devices is close to useless.
On dedicated you’re already using driver…
If your prime profile is on nvidia then the open… option is redundant/no value.
If your profile is on Intel the option doesn’t appear here, even if it did it’s of limited to no value.
If the profile is set to On demand then the option could work with limited apps, generally worthless.
Maybe with steam, no clue.
Testing some video players only mpv can make use of that option and only in the limited scenario of opening mpv via the context menu to idle window > DnD a video file.
So for instance if it’s .conf had hwdec=yes then normally in the On demand profile it would use vaapi, when opened via context and that option it would use nvdec or vdpau depending on mpv build.
Vlc when opened normally in that profile would use vaapi, from context and that option no hwdec would be used.
Reinstalled the Beta of Ubuntu for testing, just wondering why there is no app folder (like ‘System’) in the app launcher for system-apps like ‘Additional Driver’, ‘Power Statistics’, ‘Livepatch’, ‘Language Support’, ‘Software & Updates’, ‘Startup Applications’ and ‘Startup Disk Creator’?
Isn’t that a little confusion to the simple user?
And is the ‘System Monitor’ still not replaced by ‘GNOME Usage’? Why?
I didn’t install the low latency kernel, for sure. I’m installed the system using minimal install option, installed Nvidia driver (from the driver manager), Steam, Spotify, some other pkgs (gcc, g++, swig, cmake, git, vim, libavcodec-extra, …) and that’s it.
Edit:
That’s what apt shows when i try to uninstall linux-image-5.4.0-25-lowlatency. Driver manager must have installed the “lowlatency-hwe” version of the driver.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]I purged all lowlatency kernlels and nvidia drivers, rebooted, and then installed nvidia driver again (via gui). The following is the diff between “dpkg -l” before and after the installation:
I’ll test again with the RC ISO, i hope this is fixed.

Fun fact: It is displayed correctly while the livepatch status is being loaded and suddenly turns to look squished when the loading is done.
Confused here.
I tried a daily build of 20.04 in March and was able to install it to an external SSD no problem.
I tried to install a daily build today and the installer is telling me to disable Intel RST before installing.
I don’t want to touch the internal disk, I just want to install to the external SSD but I can’t see any way to achieve that now. Am I missing something?
