Ubuntu 26.04 testing

Please run commands instead, until you’re certain the system is fully updated:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Then (and only then) try to install from outside the official repository.

A post was split to a new topic: Slack and Steam snaps

Just got the 7.0.0-12 kernel and it’s having real trouble with my system. It’s freezing during boot up if I leave it be. If I boot to recovery then resume bootup, it will come up but only my main monitor is working. The two side monitors are off.

The USB ports are also not being detected or it’s often displaying “permission denied”.
I tried fixing it with different commands, but it’s not being detected at all. Same problem with my mouse. It stopped working, then I figured out it was a universal port problem on my computer.

Hello,

I try to place two applications, like ptyxis terminal and text editor or nautilus, side by side. What I notice is that at the moment the apps are tiled, the mouse will change to thinking mode for some time time, until I am able to resize the windows. Has anyone noticed the same behavior?

Regards!

I am replying to myself. I eventually got in contact through the ubuntu-translation mailing list,

Summary

  1. Unfortunately, the translations are not automatically added to the daily ISOs. Therefore, if you make changes during the string freeze, you do not get the opportunity to install a daily ISO and check the translation quality. You cannot do quality assurance for the translations. The translations will be imported on the 16th April, which is after the deadline to make any changes.
  2. The UI of the new installer and related applications (like App Center) are translated on Weblate. These are Flutter applications which cannot get translated on Launchpad. The rest of the packages continue to get translated on Launchpad. On Weblate, the reviewer feature is not used, which means that anyone can translate for a certain language of their choice. If someone random registers there, they can still add their “translation”.
  3. The big issue where only one keyboard layout was active during the installation, has been resolved. The patch adds the “us” keyboard layout to a list of non-Latin keyboard layouts. Did not test this functionality. This big issue has been a problem since the introduction of the new UI for the installer (that UI written in Flutter), and the first LTS version it appeared in, was 24.04.

I am seeing the busy cursor on some apps, on my system with AMD graphics. I do not have this issue on the system with NVIDIA graphics.

I am new here and haven’t quite figured out who posts here or what the specific topic is. I hope I’m not hijacking the thread. But anyway…

Using the latest beta fully upgraded as of this morning. With nvidia 580 I can’t use showtime, which crashes whenever I try to launch a file. If I install nvidia-595, showtime works but I lose all audio (replaced by “dummy”). I imagine it’s a dkms issue but haven’t figured out how to get both showtime and audio to work at the same time. Not particularly bothered about it at this point in beta, I just find it interesting.

Hello drs305 I am glad you are here it’s been a long time since I have seen you.

Hey Wild Man, yeah, I guess it’s been at least 6-8 years or more since I “retired” from my Ubuntu Forums moderator position. But I’ve been a loyal Ubuntu user since Dapper with no breaks… :slight_smile:

Greetings to any other graybeards out here, but I won’t junk up this thread with any more individual shoutouts. (No disrespect intended)

Hello,

thanks for the input. I was thinking to fill a bug report. I’m facing it under intel graphics too. Cannot check nvidia. ssd or hdd is irrelevant. I checked it a little bit more by using another tiling extension (smart tiling) and saw that the extension doesn’t affect the result, and I think that the program affected the most is gnome-text-editor, so I took the decision to mention this package for the bug report.

The link of the bug report is here: Bug #2148049 “busy cursor when opening the program” : Bugs : gnome-text-editor package : Ubuntu

Regards!

Hello,

  1. I have submitted translations many years ago and as a test I checked one from the distant 2018. Still it doesn’t seem that it has received a verification, so I do not understant exactly here the point of the answer.
  2. I went to Weblate and if I’m not mistaken, I saw that almost 100% of the translation is completed. Almost two months ago I tested a 26.04 dev iso and the translations were far from that mark.
  3. This is good news. Do we know when this will land in order to test it?

Regards! (Χαιρετισμούς!)

Hello,

for those of you that you were moderators, some of you were keeping your avatars and red colored names unchanged for years. Wild man, who I think had a slightly different name back in UF, seems that kept that figure from the old times. The purple avatar of drs305 makes things more difficult for my gray-ish memory to remember. Greetings anyway!

Regards!

Thanks for filing a bug report! I added to it as well.

Hi!

  1. When you submit translations on launchpad.net for packages that belong to the main repository, then there are special restrictions. By default you are making suggestions that then someone that belongs to the Ubuntu Translators (Launchpad) team for your language, would need to review and accept. If you become a member of the translators team for your language, you can translate directly. In addition, many of the packages are originally translated at a different project (like GNOME), therefore if the translation team there does the full work, they should appear fully (or almost fully) translated on Launchpad.
  2. Which language is that?
  3. There are these Daily ISOs which are almost daily. The latest is from the 10th April, and can be found at Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) Daily Build I believe that the change has been applied in there. If you can test and report back, it would be great. Also test just in case the translations that you have found missing, are now in there. Per ubuntu-translators mailing list, the translations are supposed to get imported on the 16th April, which will be too late for translation review.

Hello,

  1. ,3. will download and report back
  2. https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ubuntu-desktop-translations/-/el/

If I’m not mistaken I can see a 96%. Am I looking in the wrong package?

Regards!

You are translating for Greek! Welcome! I did not deduce this from your username.

I just visited the page and indeed some messages appeared untranslated. I dealt with them.

My understanding is that we are already under string freeze for non-language pack translations. The translations of the UI of the installer are not packaged in a language pack. But if the developers need to improve something, it is fine to do so.

Here is a screenshot on my side.

Hello,

I just downloaded the latest daily iso for resolute and attempted the intallation uner virtualbox choosing the hellenic language. The host is resolute dev.. The installation allowed the ability to pick up the english keyboard alongside the hellenic one, yet at the final screen where it said: restart now, the installation stuck. So I picked up the other option: continue using ubuntu. I tried to send a bug report right away, yet it couldn’t be sent. As a result I opened a terminal and issued the command: ubuntu-bug locale-gen, yet it couldn’t be sent due to the fact that this package wasn’t instlalled at that time. I tried even for glib, still the same. Then I tried for subiquity package, which was finally sent here: Bug #2148126 “installation of ubuntu 26.04 dev stuck picking up ...” : Bugs : subiquity

edit: trying for the 3rd time, installation proceeded…

Still, during the installation, there were many pages that were not translated.

Regards!

Thanks for testing and filing the bug report.

As expected, the new translations for the UI of the new installer (the one in Flutter) have not been picked up yet. Therefore, any potential mistranslations are not affecting the installer, even though Weblate is very strict as to what to accept as valid translation.

Perhaps an attempt to install using the default English locale will verify whether the issue relates to the installer, or it is something specific to the Greek localisation.

locale-gen comes from the locales package. You find this by running dpkg -S locale-gen. I suppose ubuntu-bug locales would be able to run.

The BootstrapLog.txt file in the bug report shows a Flutter error that keeps repeating all the way. The last activity was an access to a /dev/tty1 device.
