[03:58] Had a great time at the Linuxcaffe Ubuntu Hour. Met new folks. Definitely going to do this again. [03:58] Also left a small cache of Ubuntu disks at the 'caffe. Get 'em if you need 'em. [13:53] Hey folks === Homer is now known as Guest33600 === gpc is now known as IdleOne [20:16] hello [20:17] is anyone here? [20:17] i need some help [20:17] falconeer: what's up? [20:17] hello [20:17] well i need help [20:17] it seams that i have have a vps that is set up at 8.04 [20:18] so how can i update it to 11.04? [20:18] or get the vnc running [20:19] do you have root access? [20:19] why yes i do [20:19] :D [20:19] should just be able to type "sudo do-release-upgrade" [20:20] sudo: do-release-upgrade: command not found [20:20] ^ its a desktop [20:20] with gnome [20:21] should still work... maybe the command has changed since 8.04... just a second [20:21] ok [20:21] thank you [20:24] falconeer: what does the last line of your /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file say? should be "Prompt=......" [20:25] thre is not update-manager directory [20:26] falconeer: ok... maybe "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" and then try the "sudo do-system-upgrade" again [20:26] ok [20:26] Err http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main update-manager-core 1:0.93.34 [20:26] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.171 80] [20:26] Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/update-manager/update-manager-core_0.93.34_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.171 80] [20:26] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [20:27] have you done an "sudo apt-get update" lately? [20:28] http://pastebin.com/LRrfaKm9 [20:28] thats what happens when i do it [20:30] I guess that's because those sources no longer exist.... [20:31] lol [20:32] so what do i do now? [20:32] well... if you go here... edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and replace it with the one found here http://www.mindtrickz.org/blog/default-sources-list-file-in-ubuntu-11-04/ .... it *should* work... might want to back up important things though, for my piece of mind :) [20:34] yup that worked [20:34] excellent [20:35] that should put you at 11.04 [20:36] thank you [20:36] :D [20:36] thanks for your help have a nice day! [20:38] im back [20:38] :( [20:38] i got another problem [20:38] ok [20:39] http://pastebin.com/rEP4MiUr [20:41] thinking you might have to make a pit-stop at 10.04 before 11.04... might be too much of a change lol [20:41] how would i do that? [20:42] try using this to get a 10.04 sources.list http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/... do your update and upgrade .... then you should be able to use the "sudo do-release-upgrade" (with any luck) [20:42] ok [20:44] well [20:44] one sec [20:45] could you gen the list for me? [20:46] also what province are you from? [20:47] ontario? [20:47] yes Ontario [20:47] same [20:48] hmm i wonder [20:49] sorry... that site was a little more in-depth than I thought... let me find a file instead [20:49] ok im rebuliding my server to ubuntu 10.04 [20:50] ok how do i install gnome? [20:51] you got a sources.list for 10.04? [20:51] no [20:52] my vps provider wiped my drive and put 10.04 [20:52] so what do i need for a distro update? [20:52] command? [20:53] ah ok... to get to 11.04 you mean? should be "sudo do-release-upgrade" [20:53] before that dor the core [20:53] for [20:54] ? [20:56] "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will [20:56] get 10.04 up to date [20:57] ok [20:57] :D [20:57] where abouts in Ontario?
