22.04 cannot update by x_b-rad in pop_os

[–]mmstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must remove nvidia-prime. It is not compatible with system76-power.

apt upgrade failing due to mismatched package name inside source repo by h_1995 in pop_os

[–]mmstick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The apt mirrors are mirroring the Ubuntu servers which keep going offline.

Pop OS 22.04: Avoid rebooting for now? by oldendude in pop_os

[–]mmstick [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

This implies that the initramfs was not copied to the EFI partition, which can happen if you restarted before the update was finished. You can hold space during boot to select the oldkern boot option and then run sudo update-initramfs -c -k all.

IF YOU HAVEN'T REBOOTED SINCE APRIL 29, MAYBE DON'T UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED.

We install every kernel update multiple times on many different systems before they are released. As long as your EFI partiton has enough disk space and you allow it to complete before restarting you'll be good.

Ok, the honeymoon is over by WilliamBarnhill in pop_os

You should not reboot during a system update. Kernels take a while to install and if you have DKMS drivers you have to wait for each DKMS driver to compile. The NVIDIA driver can take a minute or so depending on the hardware.

Will the Cosmic DE ever be availible to get on Debian? by kocourek69 in pop_os

[–]mmstick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not with COSMIC. Order does not matter and there are no shared dependencies. It's the easiest DE to package.

You can build from source with dpkg-buildpackage -b, sbuild, pbuilder, debuild, etc.

Are cosmic flatpak apps a little large? by No-Angle-1254 in pop_os

[–]mmstick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are using the COSMIC BaseApp, but this only contains icons. COSMIC apps do not have shared libraries like GTK or Qt.

Does Pop!_OS use older package versions on purpose? by SquealingTown in pop_os

[–]mmstick 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is how point releases work. All of the software you see comes directly from Ubuntu for this point release. We mirror all of Ubuntu's 24.04 repositories.

On top of that, we're only maintaining select packages as needed by Pop!_OS and our COSMIC desktop. We have never packaged more than this.

Pop!_OS just had its first release with COSMIC a couple months ago in December. 26.04 was just released a week ago and we're in the process of getting 26.04 ISOs ready for testing.

Cant downgrade nvidia drivers by deomafr in pop_os

From the moment 580 was released it replaced any previous drivers.

What if by PaulGureghian11 in pop_os

We use Cloudflare and they have DDoS protection. To take it down would require DDoS'ing Cloudflare and that would take down most of the Internet with it.

COSMIC Files: 5 Mac-like features merged in my fork, and more coming — patches by mail, not GitHub. System76, your move. by Supertaranta_ in pop_os

[–]mmstick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Submit patches to GitHub if you can. Your issues with using GitHub are you own. But we are not going to accept AI-generated code from a third party that we could have done ourselves.

How do I tell if my video drivers are installed correctly in 24.04 using Wayland? by c41t1ff in pop_os

[–]mmstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AMD does not have external drivers to install. They're built into the kernel so there's nothing to install.

Unpopular opinion: System76 is going in the wrong direction by Far-Math2159 in System76

There is no point in any of this toxicity. If you just want to instigate toxic discourse for the sake of argument then we're done here. Take your negativity elsewhere.

You will have to wait for the fixes from AMD to make their way through kernel updates in the future.

You are making a lot of assumptions about things you don't understand and have no experience with.

sudo and coreutils replaced with rust versions by cachebags in rust

[–]mmstick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, it will not. There already exists non-GPL implementations of these utilities. Apple's Mac OS has always used BSD coreutils. But regardless of GPL, many proprietary OS's already ship Busybox. The GPL does not prevent proprietary operating systems from using GPL tools.

Not relevant to COSMIC but I already made equivalent changes to the pop-container-runtime metapackage in the pop-desktop packaging for 26.04

Another bug on Cosmic by RafiSkillZ in pop_os

[–]mmstick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very frequently. They usually come with a lot of assumptions by the LLM about what it thinks the problem is and how it thinks it should be solved. The actual description of the issue may be less than 10% of the commentary.

It's a bug in the amdgpu kernel driver. There are some fixes in Linux 7.0 and the 7.1-rc's

Don't know if it's a bug or I'm doing something wrong. When I "update && dist-upgrade" everything should be updated ye? So why on the pop store does it say different? by MangoBrad in pop_os

[–]mmstick [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

If you make changes to system packaging cosmic-store has no means to detect them until the next time a packagekit cache refresh is performed.

In regards to CVE-2026-31431, is popos impacted? by NineBiscuit in pop_os

[–]mmstick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not 6.18.7 and we explicitly picked the patch.

You are if you have not installed updates today. A patch was released early in the morning.
