3 posts were split to a new topic: Supporting deb package installs in Noble
I’ll need to double-check, but I believe Ubuntu Studio had a similar installer issue - so only live testing, for now. (This was last week, I haven’t taken a look at current development). Fingers crossed.

I didn’t think to mention it, but the issue I refer to in regards Lubuntu installs (ie. Bug #2054795 “Calamares - Installation failed - Bad main script...” : Bugs : calamares package : Ubuntu) will also be found on
- Kubuntu noble
as they share the calamares installer used by Lubuntu. Ubuntu Unity currently still has ubiquity on its ISOs, but is expected to soon use calamares
As Ubuntu Studio is using the ubuntu-desktop-installer (not calamares) its issue is different (and whilst I noted & see talk about it, I can’t recall the bug/references currently otherwise I’d provide it here).

Yep, if we have to test Noble, we absolutely should do this with all the huge current transition being done and GNOME 46.

goa-oauth2-handler doesn’t seem to do anything and should go in the “Utilities” category

I split out the specific conversation about debs in Noble, but the following was also mentioned by @malsabku and should be retained as it’s on-topic here.
General issues:
- The discrepancy between noble and noble-proposed is currently enormous. Most of GNOME 46 is stuck in noble-proposed and you can’t install them because of the dependency problems. I hope this will be fixed soon.
Firmware Updater:
- the Firmware Updater should be in the “Utilities” category in the App Grid, because it’s not an application that you use everyday
- maybe it’s functionality should be directly integrated into the App Centre so you don’t need a separate app (but this is out of the scope for Ubuntu 24.04)

“Software & updates” neither works in the app menu nor via Synaptic (Settings → Repositories). (Main ISO, not tested in any flavors)

software-properties does not work so I don’t know how to add proposed in my ubuntu sources, please help:
## See the sources.list(5) manual page for further settings.
Types: deb
URIs: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: noble noble-updates noble-backports
Components: main universe restricted multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
## Ubuntu security updates. Aside from URIs and Suites,
## this should mirror your choices in the previous section.
Types: deb
URIs: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: noble-security
Components: main universe restricted multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
You can add noble-proposed to the Suites section. Like this:
Types: deb
URIs: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: noble noble-updates noble-backports noble-proposed
Components: main universe restricted multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
App Folders isn’t something the Desktop Team traditionally pays too much attention to, but Edubuntu pays very close attention to, so that’s something we will definitely be doing.
Added proposed, but no additional updates

Setting up shim-signed (1.57+15.8-0ubuntu1) ...

so I found bug Bug #2056562 “package shim-signed 1.57+15.8-0ubuntu1 failed to i...” : Bugs : shim-signed package : Ubuntu
After solving problem of bug/2056562
still no packages updated from proposed
Create a file with the name /etc/apt/preferences
sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences
Add the following text to it
Package: *
Pin: release a=noble-backports
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: *
Pin: release a=noble-proposed
Pin-Priority: 500
Save it.
Then you will get updates from the backports and proposed repository.
You simply can use Synaptic…
But be careful to check ‘most recent’ again BEFORE removing proposed from used sources.
But there are no updates atm, dependencies are not ok.
It’s an upstream GNOME issue, but it’d really be great if this would be backported to this LTS if/when it’s merged. No drag/drop for the Archive Manager in Wayland is just a pain.

I enabled proposed in a partition where I have 24.04, after upgrade it no longer starts.
