Ubuntu 24.04 getting error You must put some 'deb-src' URIs in your sources.list when issuing apt-get build-dep

11

On freshly installed from scratch (not an upgrade) Ubuntu 24.04 I get this error when I run

$ sudo apt-get build-dep -y vlc  
Reading package lists... Done
E: You must put some 'deb-src' URIs in your sources.list

Prior to 24.04 fix was to make edits to /etc/apt/sources.list, but now on 24.04:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# Ubuntu sources have moved to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

here is new file on 24.04

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources 
Types: deb

Types: deb
URIs: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: noble-security

How do I add deb-src to the new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources?

This just started other day ... previously I have never seen RDD

firefox   118.0a1 (2023-08-19) (64-bit)

and yes it did not help by resetting my local settings by issuing

        rm -rf ~/.mozilla
        rm -rf ~/.cache/mozilla

this is on a beefy desktop and this RDD Process was consistently using high cpu forever ... it was not a temp short lived cpu spike ... however after repeatedly killing firefox and relaunching the RDD did reappear across several such cycles ... as I write RDD Process is gone yet this entire sequence of events has repeated itself across past week or so

coincidentally with above RDD issue, youtube now sometimes fails to play a video upon clicking the video yet same video plays OK on other browsers like Vivaldi

Below answer does not solve this high cpu issue ... How can I disable "RDD Process" until it gets fixed ? I do not want a cpu core pegged all day as I continuously use firefox even when only viewing very well behaved sites like SO ... after killing ff all is OK until I try to watch a youtube video at which point cpu goes to 100% and stays pegged forever AND the youtube video fails to render

UPDATE hamburger menu -> Troubleshoot Mode -> Restart ... just to disable all addons afterwards the RDD issue goes away however I would never use ff without my addons so this is not a solution

How to get out of this hole ?

I have no problems purging any package to solve this issue. This is exactly the kind of edge case which is holding up mass adoption of linux. My gut says lay low until offending package owners push their fix upstream.

I have tried many guesses including ... to no avail ... Suggestions ?

How to edit terminal word boundary characters?

1

Highlighted text in the default gnome terminal incorrectly includes word boundary characters which should be ignored

for example when I double click on

 &freq_domain_magnitude_buffer_a2i

it should ignore the leading & and just highlight freq_domain_magnitude_buffer_a2i

In the past below technique worked (it has no effect now) to define a set of such word boundary characters

UUID=$(gsettings get org.gnome.Terminal.ProfilesList default |  tr -d "'" ) #  strip off any single quotes

echo $UUID

gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:${UUID}/ word-char-exceptions  '@ms "-#%&+,./:=?@_~"'

Even back when above worked its troubling to see the word legacy ... How to edit the list of word boundary characters ? can this be done using tool dconf-editor ? Is there a better alternative terminal which does support defining word boundary characters ?

This issue goes back years

dconf write word-char-exceptions not taking effect

Can I specify what characters set the double-click selection boundary in GNOME Terminal?

How to disable window resize on clicking title bar?

2

very often ( several times a day [ but not always ]) on partially occluded windows where only a portion of its top left is visible when I single mouse click on top title bar that window will somehow auto resize itself

Anyone know how to disable this behavior ?

I could be wrong however I do not see this happen when more of a given window is visible

boot repair fails to help : The current session is in BIOS-compatibility mode

1

on boot up it goes directly to the dreaded grub prompt

Ubuntu 20.04 was running fine ( /dev/sda5 ) until I deleted ( in gparted ) an unused partition /dev/sda6 which then automatically renamed the following partition /dev/sda7 to then be called /dev/sda6 (bug in gparted ? it should have left 7 as 7) ... box had a dual boot of fedora on what originally was /dev/sda7 also running fine until now

this is an old 2012 vintage laptop and I see no mention of UEFI in the bios ... I get following message when I run boot-repair

The current session is in BIOS-compatibility mode. Please disable BIOS-compatibility/CSM/Legacy mode in your UEFI firmware, and use this software from a live-CD (or live-USB) that is compatible with UEFI booting mode. For example, use a live-USB of Boot-Repair-Disk-64bit (www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd), after making sure your BIOS is set up to boot USB in EFI mode. This will enable this feature.

https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/btw3GkGGqB/ any suggestions ?

currently I am booted up in live usb on this box with gparted showing

previous install was OK until I noticed docker ps was hanging forever ... I purged docker including deleting all of

apt-get purge docker-*  -y
rm -rf /var/lib/docker
systemctl daemon-reload

here is my apt entry

cd  /etc/apt ; grep -r docker 

sources.list.d/docker.list:deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable

then I ran above install which also just hung forever so in desperation I added below to list of delete cmds ... did not help

rm /var/run/docker.pid
rm -rf /lib/systemd/system/docker.service
rm -rf /etc/docker
rm -rf /run/docker.sock
rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d

docker version also just hangs even as root

I am about to reformat my laptop and reinstall Ubuntu 20.04 from scratch ... any advise ?

Evidently the docker-ce purge package logic leaves mysterious remnants of docker wafting about which prevents the subsequent docker install to work correctly

PS ... my remote VPS ubuntu 18.04 all run docker fine so dunno if this is Ubuntu 20.04 related although I have seen docker run OK on other 20.04 boxes

UPDATE

yes when I revert back to kernel 29 from 5.4.0-30-generic docker is working OK and when I go back to kernel 30 again its failing in same way ... here is on kernel 5.4.0-30-generic

sudo journalctl -u docker

docker is OK on Ubuntu 20.04 which currently has kernel 5.8.0-32-generic

why is tracker-miner-fs consuming 100% of my CPU? What is /usr/lib/tracker/tracker-miner-fs?

12

What is /usr/lib/tracker/tracker-miner-fs ?

man tracker-miner-fs

tracker-miner-fs - Used to crawl the file system to mine data.

does anyone have a link as to what its sending back to the mothership ?

I have all ubuntu desktop search shut off

settings -> Search -> off

so why is this still running ?

Why do these system launched high resource hogs throw themselves in at boot up ? at a minimum they should know enough to lay low for several minutes after a boot up before trouncing a system

Description: metadata database, indexer and search tool - filesystem indexer
 This package contains the tracker indexer for indexing your files and folders.

 Tracker is an advanced framework for first class objects with associated
 metadata and tags. It provides a one stop solution for all metadata, tags,
 shared object databases, search tools and indexing.

Why is this system process using 100% of my CPU ?

How to purge it ... not the usual way as it appears to be deeply embedded and doing a simple package purge would destroy my box

 sudo apt purge  tracker-miner-fs 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  apturl apturl-common libcue2 libgnome-autoar-0-0 libgsf-1-114 libgsf-1-common libtagc0 libtracker-control-2.0-0 libtracker-miner-2.0-0 nautilus-data tracker tracker-extract
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons* nautilus* nautilus-share* tracker-miner-fs* ubuntu-desktop* ubuntu-desktop-minimal*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 2,704 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

so lets not purge it ... how about just a remove

sudo apt remove tracker-miner-fs 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  apturl apturl-common libcue2 libgnome-autoar-0-0 libgsf-1-114 libgsf-1-common libtagc0 libtracker-control-2.0-0 libtracker-miner-2.0-0 nautilus-data tracker tracker-extract
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons nautilus nautilus-share tracker-miner-fs ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop-minimal
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 2,704 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

so to remove it would also destroy the machine (if you remove a package which in turn wants to remove package ubuntu-desktop your machine will fail to boot normally so will require booting into recovery to get it up and running)

here is the contents of its ubuntu package

Resizing a window should be easier - increase boarder pixel count?

4

Currently its too difficult to resize a window by hovering cursor on window edge or corner until cursor changes to that double arrow pointer ... when I install Ubuntu 19.04 for people new to computers (very young or old) I see its hard for these people to perform this operation

Is there a config to help this ? hold down key ? while doing above to encourage arrow pointer to appear

To see this yourself try using your opposite hand to resize a window

Best I have found (and admittedly klunky) is to ALT + right click and pick resize ... details at https://superuser.com/questions/436541/how-do-you-increase-the-resize-border-thickness-in-xubuntu-12-04/852347

Another approach How can I make the draggable window border thicker, without changing the appearance?

I have a very large download to perform which is low priority.

Can I throttle back the networking speed of my Ubuntu 18.10 so this download does not bog down my connection which is shared with other computers?

I am on a home wifi connection.

I can use a browser to perform this download or wget, etc... yet do not see such a setting.

on resume from suspend I am logged out (18.10)

2

I have a fresh 18.10 install (not an upgrade) which ran fine for days now when I suspend then resume it has logged me out ... This behavior is repeatable ... every suspend results in a resume into a fresh login session. My uptime indicates its not a reboot just a log out

Does not appear to be a dupe of Ubuntu 18.04 error on waking up from sleep : Read-error on swap device

here is my dmesg

How to disable auto-maximize new window in 18.10 (GNOME) [duplicate]

11

On any 18.10 application when I have an open window which is very wide and I then open a new window of same application the new window will auto maximize its size. How can I disable this auto-maximize on new window creation? If it's possible, I wish to disable any type of auto-maximize window behavior

I tried following suggested solution from 18.04 which fails to work on 18.10 :

Open Terminal and run

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter edge-tiling false

You may also have to run

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.overrides edge-tiling false

(18.04) How to disable the window resizing when accidentally touching one of the screen edges?
