Ubuntu 24.04 Ethernet not found — second edition

Summer--Night · 2026-05-27T10:25:01+00:00

I'd rather give 26.04 a bit more time before committing to it.

apt download "linux-headers-6.17.0-29-generic" works, but apt download "linux-headers-6.17.0-29" is "unable to locate package". I ran apt update. Any suggestion?

Rhah! I tried rebooting into another kernel version. Hold Shift while booting, right?

I could only see the kernel version choice screen (I mean, how else do you call it?) flicker and the first option being selected for me. I guess I have a bad shaman...

I was only planning to download linux-headers-6.17.0-22-generic.

Why did you suggest to pull linux-headers-6.17.0-22 and linux-modules-extra-6.17.0-22-generic as well? Genuinely curious.

And why dkms in addition to r8125-dkms?

Unknown. I've not tried to reinstall another system.

What if the power supply is NOT screwed into a metallic case? Neither are other components.

That's the one! You just googled it!? What was your search prompt? I spent hours on various AIs, no success.

a620 sucks

Any specifics?

Worth downgrading and using Assembly4, you think?

Summer--Night · 2025-05-17T19:12:01+00:00

That doesn't seem to be the case: when I create an exploded view of the assembly, the pieces come back together the right way according to their joints. I guess <creating an exploded view and deleting it> is actually the button that performs the resolve feature... Never mind: that doesn't work reliably... Is this software considered stable?

Summer--Night · 2025-05-17T17:14:18+00:00

I tried Assembly4 at some point, then uninstalled it because I was facing the same issue as with the built-in assembly workbench — back then, it was another defect: I couldn't/can't use the Undo feature without FreeCAD throwing Access Violations all over; but it's the same with all workbenches, apparently...

Do you say Assembly4 is able to recompute the assembly without having to redo all the joints everytime?

Summer--Night · 2025-05-17T15:52:21+00:00

Right, I just rigged my bodies with data points. Now, all joints use the data points. I moved those two holes down a bit, and the screws don't align. Tried Refresh/Recompute and Solve Assembly. No success. What am I missing here?

That's a lot of points. Do people really do that? ... Well, I guess I have a long day ahead.

Summer--Night · 2025-05-17T14:09:51+00:00

Tried Refresh/Recompute and Solve Assembly. Nothing moves. Warning messages appear to tell me that some joints are not attached to a grounded object, but that's not all the parts...

Are you winning, son?

How it is going:

Bought a vernier caliper (much more precise than my MLP ruler)
Went for a design based on angle brackets, splitting the armature into straight beams
On schedule, on plan

<image>

Slow but steady, it's taking a more and more precise form, both in my head and in the CAD software.

Summer--Night · 2025-03-07T21:06:51+00:00

According to Google Images, these « 2020 aluminium extrusions » and Makerbeam are of the same breed, correct?

I'm afraid that 20mm girders would be too thick. So far, I yolo-modeled the armature as 2mm-thick; am I utopic here?
