NicholasCI've had a bit of a stupid: Rented a new server which came with 12.04 server, upgraded it and got 14.04. Would really like to go back to 13.10 since I need a package from there. Is there a way to do this (or to nab the package?)00:27
DaekdroomDowngrading is not recommended.00:28
Daekdroom(specially not for servers00:28
NicholasCThe server's a fresh install: Nothing's on it yet.00:29
DaekdroomJust install 13.10 then.00:29
DaekdroomBut 13.10 has a short time of support, if you need a package that is no longer available in 14.04, you'll face the same issue a few months ahead.00:30
Daekdroom!13.1000:30
ubottuUbuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseNotes00:30
TJ-NicholasC: Is the package ont in 14.04 ?00:30
TJ-s/ont/not/00:30
NicholasCTJ-, I don't know. The package is rsnapshot.00:30
TJ-"apt-cache search rsnapshot"00:31
rww!info rsnapshot trusty00:31
ubottursnapshot (source: rsnapshot): local and remote filesystem snapshot utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-4 (trusty), package size 112 kB, installed size 454 kB00:31
rww(so yes)00:32
NicholasCI'm going to sound like an idiot, but, what does that mean? I can't grab it with apt-get.00:32
DaekdroomDo you have the universe repos activated?00:33
rwwhave you done sudo apt-get update recently?00:33
rwwand Daekdroom beat me to my next question00:33
NicholasCrww, just now, before I did the get.00:33
rwwyou probably need to make sure universe is enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list00:33
NicholasCDaekdroom, I have not. Do you guys have any quick info on that or should I google?00:33
DaekdroomI don't know how to fiddle with repositories from the command line.00:35
NicholasCThere's a lot of stuff on google about that. Let's see.. Thanks for the help so far, guys.,00:36
NicholasCAh, just adding "universe" at the end worked wonders and I've got my package. Thanks, guys.00:37

RovanionIn order for the click to register I must lift my finger from the touchpad11:37
RovanionThis causes a lot of mouse clicks to go unregistered as I'm moving my mouse to the tab I want to click.11:37

edude03Good morning everyone, so I mentioned this before but it hasn't been fixed yet so I figured I14:40
edude03d bring it up again, I'm unable to get the 14.04 daily installer to boot on my T440, but it will boot if installed on external then booted from that14:40
edude03What steps can I take to debug this issue?14:40
BluesKajedude03, describe what happens when you try to boot14:42
edude03I'll have to go on so far is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/gu6a0xb9el8q2ke/2014-03-12%2016.45.40.jpg there is a kernel panic (seemingly caused by the drm_kms_helper) on boot14:42
BluesKajok edude03 try ctl+alt+F1-F6 to drop to a virtual teminal/tty then update, upgrade and dist-upgrade14:44
edude03BluesKaj from within the installer? It kernel panics during the ubuntu load screen (before getting to the Try Ubuntu / Install screen)14:46
BluesKajedude03, make sure you BIOS has the boot sequence set to the media device that contains the live image14:48
BluesKajyour BIOS or UEFI14:49
edude03Well in this case i'm pressing F12 to boot from USB14:50
edude03It's a UEFI machine but it's set to legacy so it's not that14:51
BluesKajstill the boot sequence might be the problem14:51
BluesKajsince you already have an existing install on another drive14:52
edude03On an external drive that's not plugged in14:52
Wntis it possible to disable KMS wit some boot parameters?14:55
BluesKajedude03, did you reformat the target drive and remove the GPT partition put there by Windows14:55
edude03Yeah the target drive is EXT4 formatted can't remember if its GPT but I think I went back to MBR14:56
edude03Either way - that shouldn't cause a kernel panic14:56
Wntedude03: can you try disabling KMS by appending a nomodeset boot parameter in GRUB? https://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting#Disabling_KMS14:57
edude03OK let me give that a try Wnt14:58
Wntin GRUB you should be able to edit the boot parameters by selecting the boot option you want to use and hit E14:58
BluesKajedude03, doubt that grub is installed if he couldn't get past the kernel panic, unless it installed during external OS installation14:59
WntBluesKaj: I think the problem here is that he cannot start the live environment15:00
Wntand you can temporarily modify the boot parameters in GRUB15:00
BluesKajif it's there15:01
edude03Yeah so the back story is this: The T440s has a 16GB SSD cache and a 500GB regular HD, I installed Ubuntu on a 500GB USB drive before and I formatted the 16GB cache part so I could setup bcache15:02
edude03The 500GB external died / is dying (it randomly locks up with EXT4 IO errors) so I figured I'd just reinstall ubuntu internally15:02
edude03So using the same USB I used to install to the external 500GB drive (but on a different computer) I tried installing on the T440s, but like I'm saying the live environment / installer doesn't boot15:03
Wntedude03: maybe you could do the installation to the internal drive with an another machine also :)15:04
edude03I figured maybe what happened was the installer has an older kernel than the the installation on the external drive (since I did the updates on the external) but I've been trying the daily builds for the past few days and they all have this problem15:04
edude03So I want to do that Wnt but the problem is I want / on the SSD and / home on the HD (which I'll format later)15:05
edude03And while I can remove the SSD, I don't have anything I can put it in since it's an M.2 mSATA ssd15:06
Wntedude03: oh ok, I guess moving the ssd to another machine is not a possibility?15:06
Wntyes, I see15:06
edude03oh nomodeset didn't work - it just displays the same error in huge font15:06
BluesKajedude03, is there a recovery kernel available in grub ?15:08
edude03https://www.dropbox.com/s/gqu7l3xm1g2l4zg/2014-03-27%2011.07.26.jpg Also this is my work laptop - which is why I'm reluctant to just pop out the 500GB and do the install on another machine since I won't be able to switch back to a working environment in case of anything15:08
WntI guess you could do the installation to the internal drive with an external machine, put / and /home on different partitions, then move / to the SSD using some working live CD/USB, modify the fstab if neccessary...15:08
edude03Yeah what I might do is buy a 128GB SSD, do the install on another machine, and swap it for the 500GB15:09
edude03BUT15:09
edude03The reason I mention it here is because the T440 is fairly typical business machine and I figure if I have this problem more people must have it as well15:10
edude03So it should be fixed in the distro if possible15:10
Wntyes, of course15:10
edude03I mean it's all intel and a thinkpad which means it should have 1st class linux support (I'm not complaining though) so I'm just trying to figure out if it's just a matter of the hardware being too new or the OS being too new or user error15:13
edude03I'm pretty much ruling out user error since the USB works on other machines and I verified it after writing the image, the bios settings are stock and the machine is mostly unmodified (save for the SSD formatting) so in theory everything should work out of the box15:14
BluesKajedude03, this laptop is also a lenovo , and the cdrom drive successfully installed Kubuntu, after trying with an image on a USB stick failed15:14
edude03T440 is an ultrabook so CD drive is no bueno15:15
edude03On another note - is there a way to run the installer from an installed environment (other than maybe booting the ISO in KVM and mounting the harddrive in the VM?)15:17
CarlFKedude03: depending on what you mean.. look at kexec15:17
edude03Hmm see I can think of a lot of workarounds, but I'd rather help fix it if possible15:18
edude03I have a 16GB USB3 Usb with ubuntu 14,04 working on this laptop, the fix maybe to mirror that install onto the SSD but again would rather figure out the actual problem15:19
edude03CarlFK kexec probably wouldn't work since it would use the same install image that doesn't boot as a rootfs no?15:20
CarlFKedude03: du no.  I just got here and missed the OP.  what's going on?15:22
edude03haha no worries CarlFK, basically the 14.04 installer won't start on my laptop, but I installed 14.04 from the same image on to two externals and both of those can boot on this laptop so I'm trying to figure out why the system can boot but the installer can't15:24
BluesKajedude03, the installer probly doesn't see the hdd15:27
BluesKajbut there are already too many cooks in this kitchen15:28
edude03But again, that shouldn't cause it to have a (seemingly graphics related) kernel panic15:28
edude03It should just have no drives when the installer starts15:28
BluesKajdepends on the boot sequence , where does it look first15:29
edude03USB HDD then internal drive15:29

BluesKajelhoir, explain , doesn't detect it, or make sure you use manual partitioning to choose the correct partition in the installer/ubiquity19:14
BluesKajelhoir, manual partitoning with ubuntu installer list of choices is called " something else" I believe19:16
