    I actually reported this issue a couple months ago
  • 22.04 dependency upgrade issue
    1 project | /r/pop_os | 2 May 2022
    Initially the when the "upgrade" for 22.04 was available, it went smooth, but after the restart of the OS and before the full install of 22.04 I had some dependency issues I ran into. I found something similar on the github for popos 22.04 beta here: https://github.com/pop-os/beta/issues/370
  • Does anyone experience this weird behavior concerning active windows? Or just me?
    1 project | /r/pop_os | 26 Apr 2022
    I have this weird behavior: When I go to an empty workspace and come back, the window I currently use is deactivated. Only clicking on it activate it. More info here: https://github.com/pop-os/beta/issues/415 This behavior is consistent through recovery and live iso. I don't know it's a new feature or a bug. If a feature, not so good. I mean it's not a deal-breaker, but... Please if you have the same behavior, write here. Here some of my system specs (if it's anyhow related to my system):
  • [22.04] After update, workspaces bugged

    I think it's the same bug, can you confirm? : https://github.com/pop-os/beta/issues/415
  • Is there any way set a separate locale for cosmic-dock in 22.04?
    1 project | /r/pop_os | 25 Apr 2022
    There is an issue regarding (afaik) Turkish locale in cosmic-dock: ref1 ref2 And it appears that we can fix that issue when we set the locale English temporarily. So here my question: Is there any way to set a separate locale for just cosmic-dock, like putting "LC_ALL=C" somewhere, until the issue can be fixed permanently?
  • Dock doesn't appear

    Is there any indication of an error in the extensions app? Like this one: https://github.com/pop-os/beta/issues/414
  • PopOS 22.04 LTS comes in 3 days.
    2 projects | /r/pop_os | 22 Apr 2022
    My experience going from 21.10 to the third beta - it took a couple tries, but my system survived intact. Initially what happened was I went through the entire upgrade process... And booted back into 21.10. It took some finagling in the terminal, but following the instructions Seibz gave on the Github got me to 22.04 without issue.

  • Why is giving me this error?

    22.10 beta shouldn't be out afaik. Their Beta page on GitHub has tle latest beta release at 22.04, since that's the one in testing for release soon.
