The reason it fails is that there is no such package in the repo.

[Bug 1734095] Re: Software & Updates not showing authorization popup [gnome-shell[N]: pushModal: invocation of begin_modal failed]

[Colin Law]

Is this really related to the linked gnome-shell bug?  It doesn't look
related to me.  This bug is completely reproducible whereas the linked
one seems to be an intermittent complete failure of the shell.

[Bug 887793] Re: [HP 6710b] Kworker constantly taking about 100% CPU

[Colin Law]

For anyone finding this the problem has re-appeared with Ubuntu 20.04 on a 
Fujitsu Lifebook A544 after upgrading to BIOS version 1.24 (or 1.25).  It shows 
itself as workers kacpid and acpid_notify hogging most of a core. the fix (or 
workaround?) is to run
sudo sh -c 'echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13'
which works until a reboot, or to make it persistent add to the root crontab 
(using sudo crontab -e)
@reboot echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe13

Whether this has any side effects I don't know.

This would probably be better posted on the Ubuntu Users list rather than here.

18.10 is way out of support, so much so that you may have difficulty
upgrading.  Unless you meant 19.10.

[Bug 1862910] Re: gnome-shell leaking memory in interaction with appimagelauncher

[Colin Law]

I have managed to replicate it on another system, it was necessary to
change the destination location away from the default in
appimagelauncher for the problem to appear.  I have updated the
description above with detailed procedure for replicating.

There is already an open issue against appimagelauncher which is most likely 
related.  
https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/issues/294

** Description changed:

+ Edited description:
+ To replicate the problem (on Ubuntu 19.10 running Ubuntu Gnome)
+ 1. Install AppImageLauncher from 
https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/releases by downloading version 
2.1.0 deb file (appimagelauncher_2.1.0-travis897.d1be7e7.bionic_amd64.deb) and 
install it.  If necessary run
+ sudo apt install -f

+ 
+ 2. Run it and change the appimage destination location to
+ ~/apps/appimages.  It is necessary to change it away from the default

+ 3. Download an appimage (I downloaded Cura 4.4.1 from
+ https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/releases/tag/4.4.1) I don't know

+ 
+ 4. Open it with appimagelauncher (this can be done by double clicking it
+ in nautilus) and tell it to move it and run the application.  Then close
+ the application.
+ 
+ 5. It may be necessary to reboot at this point I don't know.
+ 
+ 6. Logon using Ubuntu (Gnome) and watch the memory usage of gnome-
+ session.  It may take a few minutes to get going but then the memory
+ used will start increasing at several MB/minute.

  On one of my machines which has been upgraded over several years and

  seeing a dramatic memory leak in gnome-shell, even when nothing is
  happening on the UI. Immediately after logging on, using the Ubuntu
  selection from the logon screen, gnome shell shows as using about
  134MB. From there it climbs at about 300MB per hour and after a few
  hours the machine grinds to a crawl, not surprisingly. This happens
  even if the user logs on and then the machine is left completely
  alone. Logout and back in frees all the memory.
  A test user I have configured sees no such problem.
  I have uninstalled all extensions apart from the system ones, disabled
  all the system ones and reset all the gnome settings using dconf reset
  -f /org/gnome/ to no avail. Also I have removed
  ~/.local/share/gnome-shell and allowed it to recreate it.
  Also I have removed .compiz, .config/dconf/user, .gconf, .gnome, .gnome2.
  I can't see anything obvious in the log.
  It must be something in my settings that is triggering it as the other
  user does not see it, but I have run out of ideas on what to try.

[Bug 1862910] Re: gnome-shell leaking memory

[Colin Law]

I had initially misunderstood which way round you wanted me to check
with the seconds setting, but I had checked carefully both ways and have
now checked again that I cannot see any discernable leakage with seconds
enabled, but I have got it disabled now.

I have also confirmed without doubt that it is appimagelauncher daemon
that is triggering the problem.  With it disabled there is no apparent
leakage and with it enabled there is.  However, rather irritatingly, I
have been unable to replicate this on another machine, so there must be
some additional interaction on the failing system.  Currently I have no
idea what that might be.

[Bug 1862910] Re: gnome-shell leaking memory

[Colin Law]

I think this may not be a gnome-shell issue at all.  I installed 
appimagelauncher [1] some time ago and if I disable the daemon and reboot then 
it seems the memory leak is no more.  At least I think that is the case, I need 
to do some more testing but thought I should report back immediately so that 
no-one wastes any more time on it.
I will follow up when I have reached a firm conclusion.

[Bug 1862910] Re: gnome-shell leaking memory

[Colin Law]

1. Screenshot attached.  I have been using two screens but to simplify
things I have confirmed that only having one makes no difference, so I
am sticking to that whilst testing.

2. I did already have show seconds set, I have now tried without and it
doesn't seem to make a difference

3. I thought I had disabled all extensions, though I am not entirely
sure of the official method of doing that.  If I go to
https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ I see only Desktop Icons, Ubuntu App
Indicators and Ubuntu Dock and they are all disabled, but as you can see
from the screenshot I don't see exactly the same as I see if I logon
using Gnome.  For instance the Dock is not autohiding.  So I don't know
what is going on there.  Logging on using Gnome does not stop the leak
though.

I see I have a larger selection of logon options than I see in a clean
install, I have Gnome, Gnome Classic, Gnome on Xorg, Ubuntu, Ubuntu on
Wayland, and Unity.  I tried them all a few days ago and they all
exhibited the leak except Gnome Classic and Unity, though I have done a
lot of cleaning up trying to fix the problem since then so if it would
be useful I can repeat that test.

Unfortunately when I run ubuntu-bug gnome-shell it collects the

[Bug 1856516] Re: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10

[Colin Law]

I don't know whether a problem I have is related to this issue or not.  On one 
of my machines which has been upgraded over several years and is now running 
19.10 just one of the configured users is seeing a dramatic leak in 
gnome-shell, even when nothing is happening on the UI.  Immediately after 
logging on using the Ubuntu selection from the logon screen gnome shell shows 
as using about 134MB. From there it climbs at about 300MB per hour and after a 
few hours the machine starts using swap and performance grinds to a crawl.  
This happens even if the user logs on and then the machine is left completely 
alone.  Logout and back in frees all the memory.
A test user I have configured sees no such problem.
I have uninstalled all extensions apart from the system ones, disabled all the 
system ones and reset all the gnome settings using dconf reset -f /org/gnome/ 
to no avail.  Also I have removed ~/.local/share/gnome-shell and allowed it to 
recreate it.
I can't see anything obvious in the log.
It must be something in my settings that is triggering it but I have run out of 
ideas on what to try.

If this is implemented I would vote for the ability to skip the test.
Personally I often burn a stick then check it and then may install to
more than one machine, so it would be a pain to have to repeat the
test on every install.  I think it would be very unusual for a stick
to become corrupted after burning I think.

@Arnaud D this bug is specifically about the Authorization dialog in the
Software and Updates app.  It is not a general problem with the mouse.
In fact it is nothing to do with the mouse at all.

Re: Copy newer files only

[Colin Law]

This should ideally be addressed to the ubuntu users list rather than
the development list.
However rsync may do what you want.
 If you want further help then ask at the users list.

Reboot and select Advanced Options for Ubuntu from the grub boot menu.
Then select to enter a root command shell.  From there you can login
and uninstall the application.  Then use ppa-purge to get rid of the
ppa and apt autoremove to get rid of anything else it installed.

It is still an issue on 19.04.
Steps to replicate:
Open Software & Updates and switch to the Other Software tab and click one of 
the checkboxes. The window loses focus but the authentication dialog does not 
appear. If however a checkbox on the Ubuntu Software tab is clicked then the 
authentication dialog does appear.

I think the reason is that very very few people put desktop files on
desktop.  That is, after all, what the launcher is for.

I believe so.  I have just found the solution however.  Right click
the file on the Desktop and select Allow Launching.

Ah, I think I understand now, Nautilus changed so that .desktop files
no longer were runnable, but the shell extension reverts this, except
it doesn't due to a bug.  Do we know that the new version in proposed
should fix it?  I don't see a relevant bug (fixed or otherwise) in
launchpad.

This is a Nautilus issue.  .desktop files still work, but not via
double click on the Desktop or in a browser window.  Apparently the
Gnome developers decided this is something we shouldn't do.

It doesn't seem to be to do with user settings as I have tried making a new

I can also confirm that it is ok on Wayland, which is not surprising.

For myself, I have not got any other applications open, and I have not got any 
Gnome shell extensions enabled (according to Gnome Tweaks).
There must be something significant about the fact that it only fails from the 
Other Software tab, it works from the Ubuntu S/W, Updates and Developer Options 
tabs.
There must be something unusual about the failing systems though, but what it 
is remains a mystery.

Just to confirm I can reproduce this 100% reliably in 18.10 and in Disco, as 
follows.
Open Software & Updates and switch to the Other Software tab and click one of 
the checkboxes the window loses focus but the authentication dialog does not 
appear (I have checked it is not under another window). If however I click a 
checkbox on the Ubuntu Software tab then the authentication dialog does appear.

@experimancer it is not correct to say that this problem affects all
18.04 and 18.10 installations, none of mine are seriously affected by
it.  It seems it only affects a small minority.  This does not change
the fact that for those affected it is a serious issue that needs to be

It is unlikely that the version will be updated in existing releases
of Ubuntu unless it is a security issue or fairly serious.  See [1]
for the update policy.  Ubuntu 18.10 has 3.4.0 by the way.

[Bug 1788481] [NEW] Cannot save settings in gnucash on Ubuntu 18.04

[Colin Law]

Public bug reported:

On a small number of systems, changes made in the Preferences dialog are not 
saved.
In .xsession-errors the following is seen

Xsession: X session started for ken at Tue Aug 21 10:32:09 EDT 2018
localuser:ken being added to access control list
dbus-update-activation-environment: error: unable to connect to D-Bus:
/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message

The reason appears to be that dbus-x11 is not installed.  Installing it
fixes the problem. This is only seen rarely as normally other packages
will have pulled in dbus-x11.

It seems that in the gnucash package dbus-x11 is only declared as
Suggests. I think it should probably be a hard dependency.

[Bug 1725779] Re: Gnome network manager cannot find authentication binary

[Colin Law]

@geez your first para is exactly what I have seen. No problem with clean
install of 18.04, but there were problems with an system upgraded from
17.10.  My comment about the upgraded system was ambiguous, it is on a
system upgraded from 17.10 that I see the problem.  My suggestion is
that is the upgrader that takes the system from 17.10 to 18.04 that is
the problem, in not installing those packages.

You have misread my comment on the packages to check.  They are network-
manager-pptp-gnome and network-manager-openvpn-gnome.  On my system
upgraded from 17.10 these were not installed (I don't know whether they
were on 17.10).

When you say everything works as expected is that on the system upgraded
from 17.10 which is showing this bug?  In which case I don't understand.

[Bug 1725779] Re: Gnome network manager cannot find authentication binary

[Colin Law]

Has anyone tried this (or confirmed that they already have 
network-manager-pptp-gnome and network-manager-openvpn-gnome installed)?  It 
has fixed it for me, I suspect that is an issue with the upgrader.  A fresh 
install of 18.04 has it, but my upgraded system did not.
I do see, though, that one person with the problem has already got it installed 
so maybe there is more than one issue here.

[Bug 1610574] Re: mysql_secure_installation/mysqladmin cannot set password when auth_socket is enabled

[Colin Law]

For Ubuntu 18.04 the default installation of mysql-server has socket 
authentication enabled (if I understand correctly) so it is not possible to set 
the root pwd using mysql_secure_installation. This is most unfortunate as there 
is a great deal of apparently authoritative documentation out there that says 
this is the way to do it.  For example
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-secure-installation.html
In addition there are very few references to the fact that instead one has to 
use the workaround in the bug description.

That's true, but in fact the better lesson is to purge ppas before

I think it has been suggested that a popup asking nicely whether it is ok
to send diagnositics, with buttons for yes/no might go down better than a
checkbox. I concur with that idea as pre-checked checkboxes do have a bad
reputation.

I think the site has been updated. Perhaps you were looking an old

@lungo, it seems you are correct. In which case if you wanted to ensure
that you are definitely seeing the same bug then you could install dash-
to-dock in the Gnome session and check that you also see it there. See
the link in the description to the equivalent dash-to-dock bug. The two
addons use the same code.

Firstly this should really be adddressed to the ubuntu-users list, if
you want more help please go there, but for the moment I wonder
whether this is a Wayland issue. Try logging in using X rather than
Wayland (you can select this from the login screen).

@guyvdb does it happen with both screens on and the laptop the primary,
and does it happen with ubuntu-dock disabled?

@guyvdb if you are seeing a problem with only one screen active it is
unlikely to be this bug which is specifically related to having two
active monitors. I suggest filing a new bug for your issue.

If this is a fault in the video file (which looks likely to me) then
there is not much that can be done about it here. If you believe it to
be a bug in winff or ffmpeg then file a bug using

The best way to handle this is probably to post a bug against mpv using
ubuntu-bug mpv. Then the right people should see it.

OK, I see where you are coming from. It never occurred to me that
anyone wanting to install libgtk2.0-dev, or similar, would want to use
a GUI. I assumed everyone used apt for that.  Obviously I am wrong.

Ubuntu software has been replaced by gnome-software. It has exactly

Status of debian wpasupplicant bug #835648

[Colin Law]

Hi
Running 17.04 (upgraded over several versions) I see a ten second
additional delay on suspend if wifi is in use. Looking at the journal
this looks to be debian wpa bug #835648 [1]. I couldn't find a
matching Ubuntu bug.  Looking at the Debian bug I think it is saying
it was fixed in wpasupplicant 2.4-1 and apt policy shows I have
2.4-0ubuntu9 so it makes sense that I am seeing the problem. I assumed
therefore that I would have to wait for Artful for the fix, which is
OK. However looking at the Artful repo I see wpasupplicant there is
also at 2.4-0ubuntu9. Do I need to do anything to get this sorted in
Artful, or am I missing something?

[Bug 1712661] [NEW] gnome-shell crash using ubuntu-dock with dual monitors

[Colin Law]

Public bug reported:

To replicate on Artful daily on a laptop, plug in an external monitor
with the external monitor to the right of the laptop and configure the
external monitor as the primary display. On configuration it works ok,
but on logging out and back in gnome-shell crashes.  The problem is only
seen if the external monitor is the primary display.

I think it likely that this is the same issue reported for dash-to-dock:
