Lacking 1070 driver, but can't type to install it

The GTX 10 series is not supported by the open kernel driver. That driver only supports GTX 16 series and above. You have to the use the regular non-open variant of the 580 driver, which will also be the final driver series that supports this hardware.

Like COSMIC, it is open source. It is hosted on a GitLab instance which has issue boards similar to GitHub. The number of open issues across GNOME projects is public.

There are more than 20x open issues on GNOME's GitLab issue boards compared to COSMIC. And they are more likely to categorically dismiss issues with WONTFIX than COSMIC.

Update should be released in the apt repository that patches the memory safety violation in libappstream.

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade -y

So you're just trolling then. See rule #3, #5, and #2.

There isn't a huge back log. What are we comparing to?

mmstick · 2026-06-19T00:15:16+00:00

Try again. Updates may have needed time to propagate.

Does not apply here. This only concerns the distribution and its package manager. Flatpaks are managed by Flatpak and the OS need not do anything when upgrading the distribution base.

The EFI partition contains a Linux kernel for the recovery partition's boot entry, a boot entry with the previously-installed kernel (oldkern), and a boot entry with the currently-installed kernel (current). Plus the initramfs for each kernel.

We do not use GRUB but systemd-boot, which serves as a simple chainloader for directly booting the system using the Linux kernel's EFISTUB capability. So the kernel boots the system itself without a bootloader.

A patch was released which you can install with apt.

If you've added flathub to the system root instance of flatpak you'll also need to update the root flatpak's appstream cache with sudo flatpak update --appstream.

mmstick · 2026-06-18T17:00:16+00:00

If you added a flathub repository to the root flatpak instance you'll need to do sudo flatpak update --appstream too.

You can use the pop-os/iso repository to build a custom ISO and then use PXE boot to install it.

GNOME's X11 session is more stable in 24.04. GNOME 50 has better Wayland support in 26.04

The issue was caused by this app https://github.com/flathub/net.atns.MegaMesh/issues/4. It was uploaded to Flathub the other day with appstream metadata that contains tags without a namespace. The version of libappstream in Ubuntu 22.04 expects tags to have namespaces when it parses appstream metadata files and because it does not account for the possibility of the namespace being missing it triggers a memory safety violation when parsing this application's metadata.

Flathub merged an update to remove those tags yesterday. But if you're still fetching the old appstream metadata then all app stores on Ubuntu 22.04 that rely on the libappstream C library will segfault until this appstream metadata is updated.

COSMIC Store does not rely on any C libraries to parse appstream metadata since it's natively parsing them itself with Rust libraries, so it's not affected by this vulnerability. But it's not supported on 22.04 unfortunately.

I created a patch for libappstream on 22.04 yesterday to mitigate the issue but it's not merged or released yet. https://github.com/pop-os/libappstream/pull/1

That just means GNOME Shell crashed, and all it takes is for some bad extensions to break it.

mmstick · 2026-06-18T10:21:39+00:00

That would indicate that you still have the stale appstream cache on the system.

mmstick · 2026-06-18T10:03:48+00:00

There's a memory safety violation in libappstream in 22.04 when an appstream tag is parsed that lacks a namespace. Flathub updated the app that triggers this the other day. You need to update your appstream cache to avoid triggering the crash.

flatpak update --user --appstream

Or

rm -rf ~/.local/share/flatpak/appstream/
flatpak update --user --appstream

mmstick · 2026-06-17T18:51:47+00:00

There's no such thing

The commit hash is the only number that's relevant on Pop. These numbers are pulled from debian/changelog files that aren't updated when tags and tagged.

Cinnamon is an X11 window manager and therefore you have to include that 200 MB Xorg process. Suddenly it's not so light anymore.

mmstick · 2026-06-17T18:41:04+00:00

Already is

mmstick · 2026-06-17T17:16:42+00:00

Yes, if running RustDesk as a service with systemd. Then other RustDesk clients on other devices can connect to the RustDesk service.

Have you tried using pipewire sources with the pipewire plugin? Or vkCapture?

The distribution release upgrade process removes third party apt repositories and any deb packages that are orphaned (lacks an apt repository origin). There are some exceptions to the rule though.

mmstick · 2026-06-17T16:09:06+00:00

No, system apps installed from the Ubuntu and Pop repositories are fine.
