|---|---|---|
| jshmoe24 | does any one want to take on a quest/ | 00:48 |
| jshmoe24 | sometimes when i go to install a program through ubuntu installation center it stalls, same with apt-get then i have to erase lock files and then issue a apt-get --configure -a | 00:49 |
| jshmoe24 | any ideas? | 00:49 |
| jshmoe24 | I am on meerkat x86 | 00:49 |
| jshmoe24 | If anyone can answer this bug you are a god because no one can give any good answers | 00:50 |
| jshmoe24 | I just want to install through apt-get like normal again please help | 00:50 |
| jshmoe24 | come on this is the bugs channel you guys have to have the answers? | 00:51 |
| penguin42 | hey we normally just deal with the bugs | 00:51 |
| penguin42 | technically support is #ubuntu | 00:52 |
| penguin42 | but still, hmm | 00:52 |
| jshmoe24 | sorry | 00:52 |
| jshmoe24 | ubuntu cant answer anything either | 00:52 |
| penguin42 | so you do something like apt-get install hello and it just hangs? | 00:52 |
| jshmoe24 | right | 00:52 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 00:52 |
| penguin42 | anything in dmesg? | 00:52 |
| jshmoe24 | one sec | 00:52 |
| jshmoe24 | this package hanged on ubuntu software center and gives this --> The package teamviewer6 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. | 00:54 |
| jshmoe24 | I do a sudo apt-get remove --purge and then it says rm -r locks and then it says do a apt-get --configure -a and then it works | 00:54 |
| jshmoe24 | but that is really anoying | 00:54 |
| jshmoe24 | and its not just .deb files its also just apt-get files too | 00:55 |
| jshmoe24 | sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb (Reading database ... dpkg: warning: files list file for package `teamviewer6' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.(Reading database ... 224486 files and directories currently installed.)Preparing to replace teamviewer6 6.0.9224 (using teamviewer_linux.deb) ...Unpacking replacement teamviewer6 ... | 00:57 |
| jshmoe24 | HUNG | 00:57 |
| jshmoe24 | HUNG | 00:57 |
| jshmoe24 | it will stay there forever | 00:57 |
| penguin42 | try removing teamviewer6? | 00:57 |
| jshmoe24 | watch this | 00:57 |
| jshmoe24 | I will give output | 00:57 |
| jshmoe24 | first off I have to actually close the terminal because I cant even press ctrl c | 00:58 |
| penguin42 | jshmoe24: Don't do that too often unless it's the only way - a lot of these problems tend to come from dpkg being killed in the middle, and it only gets worse | 00:58 |
| jshmoe24 | it is the only way tho | 00:59 |
| jshmoe24 | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 00:59 |
| jshmoe24 | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 00:59 |
| jshmoe24 | jshmoe24@HP-640-Inkjet:~$ | 00:59 |
| jshmoe24 | then i erase the locks, then it says to do a sudo apt-get --configure -a | 00:59 |
| jshmoe24 | and that is anoying | 00:59 |
| penguin42 | do a ps just to see if there are any other dpkg's or apt's still running? | 00:59 |
| jshmoe24 | ok one sec | 00:59 |
| jshmoe24 | PID TTY TIME CMD | 01:00 |
| jshmoe24 | 2842 pts/2 00:00:00 bash | 01:00 |
| jshmoe24 | 2863 pts/2 00:00:00 ps | 01:00 |
| jshmoe24 | nothing | 01:00 |
| jshmoe24 | wierd huh | 01:00 |
| mythos | ps aux | grep dpkg | grep apt | grep -v grep | 01:01 |
| jshmoe24 | I never liked ubuntu installation center to begin with I am a apt-get guy | 01:01 |
| jshmoe24 | ok one sec mythos | 01:01 |
| jshmoe24 | no output | 01:01 |
| jshmoe24 | nothing at all | 01:01 |
| mythos | erm .. try it without the apt part ^^" | 01:02 |
| jshmoe24 | what do you mean? | 01:02 |
| jshmoe24 | I did the ps aux by it self | 01:02 |
| mythos | ah ok | 01:02 |
| jshmoe24 | and got no output | 01:02 |
| jshmoe24 | wierd huh | 01:02 |
| jshmoe24 | everytime this happens I have to do a --> sudo rm -r /var/lib/dpkg/lock first | 01:03 |
| jshmoe24 | then | 01:03 |
| jshmoe24 | then this --> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 01:03 |
| jshmoe24 | then | 01:04 |
| jshmoe24 | this happens | 01:04 |
| jshmoe24 | E: The package teamviewer6 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. | 01:04 |
| penguin42 | jshmoe24: Stop a sec | 01:04 |
| mythos | lsof | grep dpkg ... should show you the process | 01:04 |
| jshmoe24 | ok | 01:04 |
| jshmoe24 | one sec i will try | 01:04 |
| jshmoe24 | lsof | grep dpkg | 01:05 |

| jshmoe24 | what do you think? | 01:05 |
| penguin42 | you shoud use a paste bin ! | 01:05 |
| jshmoe24 | kill all those dpkgs? | 01:05 |
| penguin42 | well there are only two 2824, and 2498 | 01:06 |
| jshmoe24 | right | 01:06 |
| jshmoe24 | do you think those are the hung dpkgs? | 01:06 |
| penguin42 | cat /proc/2824/cmdline | 01:06 |
| jshmoe24 | one sec | 01:06 |
| jshmoe24 | nothing | 01:07 |
| jshmoe24 | wait | 01:07 |
| jshmoe24 | i did it again | 01:07 |
| jshmoe24 | and i got this | 01:07 |
| jshmoe24 | dpkg-iteamviewer_linux.debjshmoe24@HP-640-Inkjet:~$ w | 01:08 |
| jshmoe24 | is there a way to use dpkg to uninstall a flawed .deb install through dpkg? | 01:08 |
| mythos | dpkg -r packagename ... i guess ;) | 01:12 |
| jshmoe24 | just tried it says its in a bad state | 01:12 |
| mythos | force it ^^ | 01:14 |
| jshmoe24 | by doing dpkg --force teamviewer* | 01:14 |
| jshmoe24 | right? | 01:14 |
| jshmoe24 | didnt' work | 01:15 |
| mythos | dpkg -r --force-all teamviewer ... hope, it does not destroy anything | 01:15 |
| mythos | where is the teamviewer package from? | 01:16 |
| jshmoe24 | there website the official one | 01:16 |
| mythos | puh, lucky me, that i prefer tar.gzs ^^ | 01:17 |
| mythos | so, is the package removed? | 01:18 |
| jshmoe24 | I do too | 01:19 |
| jshmoe24 | XD | 01:19 |
| jshmoe24 | damn debs | 01:19 |
| mythos | guess, it worked ^^" | 01:22 |
| penguin42 | hehe | 01:22 |
| hggdh | now, there is still hope his machine is not completely hosed | 01:33 |
| hggdh | or hers. Sorry. | 01:33 |
| mythos | it's christmas... there is plenty of hope in that time ;) | 01:34 |
| penguin42 | hehe | 01:36 |
| penguin42 | I could swear we've had someone on with a problem on the same package before; can't remember if it was him | 01:36 |
| penguin42 | Is there a way to get lp to actually create a corresponding debian bug? | 01:37 |
| mythos | is a broken 3rd party package a debian-bug? | 01:38 |
| penguin42 | no - it was an unrelated question! | 01:39 |
| jshmoe24 | Hey guys I found the answer | 01:39 |
| jshmoe24 | are you there mythos | 01:39 |
| jshmoe24 | are you there penguin42? | 01:40 |
| penguin42 | yeh | 01:40 |
| jshmoe24 | if you ever run into this problem do this ------> dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <package-name-here> | 01:41 |
| mythos | xD | 01:41 |
| jshmoe24 | found it on this website thank god --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/package-installation-error-and-solution.html | 01:41 |
| jshmoe24 | good to know XD | 01:41 |
| jshmoe24 | it worked like a charm | 01:41 |
| jshmoe24 | not only did it remove it but it reinstalled it correctly too | 01:42 |
| penguin42 | jshmoe24: Always be careful with any of the --force's - only use in the most dire of cases | 01:42 |
| jshmoe24 | true true | 01:42 |
| jshmoe24 | this was one of those dire cases | 01:42 |
| jshmoe24 | :P | 01:42 |
| jshmoe24 | but you are right | 01:42 |
| jshmoe24 | thanks for the help guys its nice to know that there are informed ubuntu enthusiasts | 01:43 |
| jshmoe24 | thanks again | 01:43 |
| jshmoe24 | I will probably be around more often to say hey :) | 01:43 |
| jshmoe24 | thx peguine42 and mythos you really know your stuff | 01:43 |
| jshmoe24 | l8r | 01:43 |
| jshmoe24 | one last thing | 01:43 |
| penguin42 | ? | 01:44 |
| jshmoe24 | IM in computer security. Linux for the win. thank god for windows it keeps us security gurus in buisness hahahahaha | 01:44 |
| jshmoe24 | later guys :) | 01:45 |
| jshmoe24 | and thx for the advice | 01:45 |
| mythos | good he overread the last command i posted .... --force-all is too dangerous ;) | 01:47 |
| mythos | so, anyone goes to 27c3 in germany? | 01:48 |
| penguin42 | what's that? Chaos thing? | 01:52 |
| mythos | chaos communication congress, jep | 01:56 |
| penguin42 | I know someone who went a few years ago, he enjoyed it - he did recommend not taking anything vaguely electronic :-) | 01:59 |
| mythos | the talks are the most times really good. hope, the stream is at least useable this year ^^ | 02:02 |
| mythos | so, i wish happy holidays... here is 3 in the morning. cu o/ | 02:11 |

| elMariachi | Hi | 17:36 |
| penguin42 | Hi | 17:36 |
| elMariachi | I think I have found a bug in the installer | 17:36 |
| penguin42 | what happens? | 17:36 |
| elMariachi | nothing :) | 17:36 |
| elMariachi | i'm at the point where i can choose my keyboard layout | 17:36 |
| penguin42 | when? | 17:36 |
| elMariachi | during install | 17:37 |
| elMariachi | of 10.10 | 17:37 |
| penguin42 | ok, so you get to the point to choose the keyboard layout - then what happens? | 17:37 |
| elMariachi | i can click on 'figure out keyboard layout', and it asks me some questions, but that's all | 17:37 |
| elMariachi | back and forward buttons are disabled | 17:38 |
| penguin42 | so at the end of the set of questions what happens? | 17:38 |
| elMariachi | nothing | 17:38 |
| elMariachi | i cann scroll the left scroll box | 17:38 |
| penguin42 | hmm odd, ok submit a bug | 17:39 |
| elMariachi | but can't pick any of the items in there | 17:39 |
| penguin42 | boot the cd with the installer on, and from a terminal on there run ubuntu-bug ubiquity and answer the questions | 17:39 |
| elMariachi | i clicked a country but in the right box it still says Turkey (and all turkish sub entries) | 17:39 |
| elMariachi | the cursor btw is that circle thingy btw | 17:41 |
| penguin42 | elMariachi: OK, well report the bug, and then I wonder how to work around it, it might be a problem with just that keyboard type/country | 17:42 |
| penguin42 | I assume it can be changed later | 17:42 |
| elMariachi | its a german keyboard layout | 17:43 |
| elMariachi | should be very common | 17:43 |
| penguin42 | hmm yes I would have thought so | 17:43 |
| penguin42 | elMariachi: Ah, it looks like you have bug 664533 | 17:45 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 664533 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Installer stuck on keyboard layout selection (affects: 5) (heat: 75)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/664533 | 17:45 |
| elMariachi | sounds like my case | 17:45 |
| elMariachi | i'll have a look at it | 17:45 |
| elMariachi | okay, i'll just add a comment that i can confirm this bug | 17:47 |
| yofel | elMariachi: since it's already confirmed rather set the bug as affecting you | 17:48 |
| elMariachi | yofel: okay, how do i do that? :D | 17:49 |
| yofel | elMariachi: there's this large green line at the top: This bug affects 5 people. Does this bug affect you? | 17:49 |
| elMariachi | hehe | 17:50 |
| elMariachi | got it, thanks | 17:50 |
| elMariachi | it's quite big actually.. | 17:50 |
| elMariachi | allright, i'll reboot and try to pick the keyboard layout earlier now | 17:51 |
| elMariachi | doesn't seem to be possible with the original installer live-cd | 17:53 |
