Ubuntu did install on the hard drive, but "Operation system not found" on restart #partitioning #systeminstallation #downloads #system #bugreporting
Ubuntu not installing on the hard drive, but the partition was there #partitioning #systeminstallation #downloads #system #bugreporting
Having another strange issue (this time not network related).
If I attach an external Keyboard (Keychron Q8 ISO-DE) to my MacBook Air M2, it has a wrong Layout. The key on the left, next to shift should be "<" and ">" but is "^" and "°" - it's working fine on the internal keyboard. But it looks, like the system recognizes both keyboards as ANSI whereas it's ISO.
Removing `/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist` and going through the keyboard-identification-wizard didn't help (as in: didn't changed anything).
Created an Bugreport, which is open since weeks: FB16272721 - may a friendly apple employee jump in?

Generally, it's no fun when upgrading a project and you find a 3rd party package that breaks/has a bug.
But, it's very reassuring AND appreciated when someone has jumped in and filed a detailed, well-written issue detailing the exact problem you are having.
Nice to find out that I didn't break stuff and I'm not alone.
Thank you bug reporters!

People trying or coming back to #Fedora with the release of #f40, if you find issues with the system or packages in the repos, Don't just whinge on social media, log bugs. Some will be known issues, some might not. It's an important step to making shit better, even if you don't know how to categorise it. The people are nice and usually help triage.
I log bugs, I'm only a user

It would be useful to have a #BugReporting platform that works independently of individual projects.
The interface would walk you through describing exactly what's bugging you, and help you tag in all the software projects that might be implicated. A triage process would then figure out which piece of software is actually causing the bug. The issue thread for the bug can then be cloned to the issue tracker of that project.
This would be much easier to do with #ForgeFederation.
Yesterday evening a contributor to #Textual wrote up a really good post about the value and importance of making minimal reproducible examples when reporting problems or even asking questions. Well worth a read, I think: https://github.com/Textualize/textual/discussions/3361
Even though *we* all know the value of this, I think it's a good explainer that can be shown to people who don't appreciate this yet.

Me, still guessing wrong half of the time when I think "Certainly this must be a bug in #GNOME Web's GUI, rather than #WebKitGTK" while #bugreporting
@poofdyke I'm not shure if this is a good idea, as documentation should be accessible in a static way even if it's being worked on dynamically in the background.
There is a reason tools like #git are being used.
There are reasons to use issue trackers and entire suites like #GitLab and #gitea for that.
OFC you can do #bots that pust changes like @pkgsrcchanges and @linux do into the :activitypub: :fediverse: ...
Also one could allow #BugReporting and #IssueTracking to be accessible via it too.
@poofdyke +9001%
#Discord has unacceptably bad ToS, abysmal performince, is bloaty af and it doesn't replace proper Documentation!
If people are too lazy to do #SelfHosting, there's #github, #gitlab, #readtehdocs.io and many more options to just shove some #Markdown files onto.
Every Project that uses Discord in lieu of proper #IssueTracker, #BugReporting and #Documentation is a "can't use & won't use" for me - period!
Espechally when even for organizing there are superior options...
@DestinationLinux
I liked the part on #bugreporting
Did you receive any feedback from developers, distributions, maintainers and users?
There is a list in a text file with user side bugs & #papercuts. But reporting these would take do much time.
I am reluctant because of the tediousness of the process.
The existing tool on #ubuntu, called apport, sends user / confidential data without allowing users to object / edit prior to submission. Bad.
I'm not making a transatlantic trip next month just to get the old cell phone I left there that has my Ubuntu Launchpad 2FA code on it, but that's what I plan on telling people.
