Bye, bye #Eoan

I'll miss misspelling your name in hashtags, not!;*

"This is a follow-up to the End of Life warning sent earlier this month
to confirm that as of today (July 17, 2020), Ubuntu 19.10 is no longer
supported. No more package updates will be accepted to 19.10, and it
will be archived to old-releases.ubuntu.com in the coming weeks."

Well that took a bit of coaxing, finally got #Gimp 2.10.19 to build with #PyGTK bindings on #Focal in spite of Focal not shipping the PyGTK stuff for #Python 2.7. Had to pull apart a couple of DEBs from #Eoan to do it, and add some extra bits to the config step for Gimp, and tweak the pygtk-2.0.pc to suit.

But at least it now works (:*

So, I've taken the plunge, booted into multi-user.target and started the upgrade process to move from #Eoan to #Focal

Which finally means I'll be able to consistently spell the version name for my #Kubuntu 'd laptop

(;*

Earlier spotted that there's a new stable version of #VLC due to having a multipass #Focal virtual machine sitting on my laptop, that got the update recently. So I've now built it and installed it locally in my running version of #Kubuntu #Eoan

Sneakily, #Videolan doesn't tout the newer version for some reason, so I had to do a bit of investigation to hunt it down.

The new version is 3.0.9.2 btw.

#Linux #Ubuntu question...

Noticed after updating from #Disco to #Eoan (forgotten spelling) that Gimp would crash, turned out there was a conflict with two different versions of an SO it was linking to. Resolved the issue and Gimp now works again. The conflict was caused by an old library installed back when I was running #Bionic

My question is: Is there a command I can run that'll list any other orphaned apps and libraries that I can then remove safely to prevent any future issues?:*
