[03:58] <BobJonkman> Had a great time at the Linuxcaffe Ubuntu Hour.  Met new folks.  Definitely going to do this again.
[03:58] <BobJonkman> Also left a small cache of Ubuntu disks at the 'caffe. Get 'em if you need 'em.
[13:53] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[20:16] <falconeer> hello
[20:17] <falconeer> is anyone here?
[20:17] <falconeer> i need some help
[20:17] <SIR_Taco> falconeer: what's up?
[20:17] <falconeer> hello
[20:17] <falconeer> well i need help
[20:17] <falconeer> it seams that i have have a vps that is set up at 8.04
[20:18] <falconeer> so how can i update it to 11.04?
[20:18] <falconeer> or get the vnc running
[20:19] <SIR_Taco> do you have root access?
[20:19] <falconeer> why yes i do
[20:19] <falconeer> :D
[20:19] <SIR_Taco> should just be able to type "sudo do-release-upgrade"
[20:20] <falconeer> sudo: do-release-upgrade: command not found
[20:20] <falconeer> ^ its a desktop
[20:20] <falconeer> with gnome
[20:21] <SIR_Taco> should still work... maybe the command has changed since 8.04... just a second
[20:21] <falconeer> ok
[20:21] <falconeer> thank you
[20:24] <SIR_Taco> falconeer: what does the last line of your /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file say? should be "Prompt=......"
[20:25] <falconeer> thre is not update-manager directory
[20:26] <SIR_Taco> falconeer: ok... maybe "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" and then try the "sudo do-system-upgrade" again
[20:26] <falconeer> ok
[20:26] <falconeer> Err http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main update-manager-core 1:0.93.34
[20:26] <falconeer>   404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.171 80]
[20:26] <falconeer> 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] <falconeer> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[20:27] <SIR_Taco> have you done an "sudo apt-get update" lately?
[20:28] <falconeer> http://pastebin.com/LRrfaKm9
[20:28] <falconeer> thats what happens when i do it
[20:30] <SIR_Taco> I guess that's because those sources no longer exist....
[20:31] <falconeer> lol
[20:32] <falconeer> so what do i do now?
[20:32] <SIR_Taco> 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] <falconeer> yup that worked
[20:34] <SIR_Taco> excellent
[20:35] <SIR_Taco> that should put you at 11.04
[20:36] <falconeer> thank you
[20:36] <falconeer> :D
[20:36] <falconeer> thanks for your help have a nice day!
[20:38] <falconeer> im back
[20:38] <falconeer> :(
[20:38] <falconeer> i got another problem
[20:38] <SIR_Taco> ok
[20:39] <falconeer> http://pastebin.com/rEP4MiUr
[20:41] <SIR_Taco> 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] <falconeer> how would i do that?
[20:42] <SIR_Taco> 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] <falconeer>                                  ok
[20:44] <falconeer> well
[20:44] <falconeer> one sec
[20:45] <falconeer> could you gen the list for me?
[20:46] <falconeer> also what province are you from?
[20:47] <falconeer> ontario?
[20:47] <SIR_Taco> yes Ontario
[20:47] <falconeer> same
[20:48] <falconeer> hmm i wonder
[20:49] <SIR_Taco> sorry... that site was a little more in-depth than I thought... let me find a file instead
[20:49] <falconeer> ok im rebuliding my server to ubuntu 10.04
[20:50] <falconeer> ok how do i install gnome?
[20:51] <SIR_Taco> you got a sources.list for 10.04?
[20:51] <falconeer> no
[20:52] <falconeer> my vps provider wiped my drive and put 10.04
[20:52] <falconeer> so what do i need for a distro update?
[20:52] <falconeer> command?
[20:53] <SIR_Taco> ah ok... to get to 11.04 you mean? should be "sudo do-release-upgrade"
[20:53] <falconeer> before that dor the core
[20:53] <falconeer> for
[20:54] <falconeer> ?
[20:56] <SIR_Taco> "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will
[20:56] <SIR_Taco> get 10.04 up to date
[20:57] <falconeer> ok
[20:57] <falconeer> :D
[20:57] <SIR_Taco> where abouts in Ontario?
[20:58] <falconeer> near toronto
[20:58] <SIR_Taco> ah ok, I'm just north of Kingston
[20:58] <falconeer> i did whois
[20:58] <falconeer> XD\
[20:58] <SIR_Taco> haha
[21:05] <falconeer> ok so how do i set up vnc?
[21:07] <SIR_Taco> falconeer: not entirely sure.... have never tried
[21:08] <falconeer> lol
[21:08] <falconeer> i just did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[21:08] <falconeer> 0.0
[21:09] <SIR_Taco> yep, that's fine, will give you Gnome and other applications
[21:09] <falconeer> ya i know but its taking for ever
[21:10] <SIR_Taco> it will haha
[21:10] <SIR_Taco> http://nuclear-imaging.info/site_content/2010/04/19/vnc-server-setup-for-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/   seems to be a little how-to
[21:44] <falconeer> ok so i have no idea how to do this
[21:44] <falconeer> i set it up via putty
[21:45] <SIR_Taco> honestly, that's out of my expertise
[21:49] <falconeer> who would know?
[21:50] <SIR_Taco> good question.... you could try a channel for Gnome possibly? everyone else seems to be sleeping here
[21:51] <falconeer> this is a canadian channel.....
[21:51] <falconeer> WTF
[21:52] <falconeer> who would be a sleep now
[21:53] <SIR_Taco> well they're not around and/or talkative anyway haha
[21:53] <falconeer> just my luck
[21:55] <falconeer> say you like drum and bass?
[21:55] <SIR_Taco> as much as the next person haha
