StevenRhrrmph. Still my LTS boxes won't prompt for 14.04.112:26
penguin42there must be some debug you can extract to find out why13:13
maps|wrkpenguin42,  hi all13:28
penguin42hey maps|wrk13:36
shaunoit's not broken.  they won't prompt because http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts doesn't contain an entry for 14.04 yet14:12
shauno.. bug 134476214:13
lubotu3bug 1344762 in update-notifier (Ubuntu) "update-notifier tells me to upgrade from 12.04.4 LTS to 14.04 LTS (because of HWE), but that release is not found" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/134476214:13
andrews_hello all, wonder if I could get a little help with upgrading?  I am trying to upgrade from 12.04 though dont have a DVD and the software update wont let me - it gives an error downloading the upgrade.  Sudo apt-get upgrade from the prompt gives me a load of errors with the repositories.  Is there a simple way round all this?14:16

andrews_this is what I get when I try........W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise/partner i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-i386_Packages)14:18

andrews_W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems14:18
mappspaste bin it14:18
mappsdo sudo apt-get upgrade | pastebinit14:18
andrews_http://paste.ubuntu.com/8008238/14:20
mappswill have a look14:23
andrews_this is what I get when I run the update..... http://paste.ubuntu.com/8008274/14:24
penguin42those are only warnings14:25
penguin42ah14:25
penguin42andrews_: It looks like you've got a duff line in one of your apt config files14:25
penguin42actually a few breakages14:26
andrews_yeah about 5 near the end by the looks of it14:26
penguin42andrews_: First, packages.medibuntu.org seems to be down14:26
andrews_Have no idea how to fix those, I know my way round ubuntu in a very basic sense however thats a bit beyond me14:26
penguin42andrews_: The easiest way is to disable the source; did you add some sources some how?14:27
andrews_how does one clean these up?14:27
andrews_not sure14:27
andrews_dont think I have14:27
andrews_I can get some of the sources though in the update manager cant I14:27
penguin42is this oriignally a medibunto install rather than a plain ubuntu?14:27
penguin42andrews_: You've also got a corrupted line somewhere - Err http://packages precise/non-free Sources14:28
andrews_its just a normal ubuntu install.  I added the medibuntu lines a while back to get dvd codecs14:29
penguin42andrews_: Have you edited or added entries in /etc/apt by hand at sometime in the past?14:29
andrews_might have  penguin42, yes.  will have been a while ago though14:30
penguin42andrews_: OK, so look for any line in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d for the medibuntu and remove it, and look for a line that is something like      deb http://packages  precise        without anything else after the packages - because that line is broken14:33
foobarryi just read that the next version of chrome will allow linux usrs to watch netflix :-|14:35
foobarryhttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTc1ODY14:35
foobarryno wine faffing around14:35
andrews_Ok - done that.  Still no joy, can I copy and paste my sources.list to pastebinit from the command line?14:39
penguin42possibly if you have pastebinit installed14:40
andrews_I do....14:41
andrews_Rather than me copying the contents of sources.list into here!14:41
penguin42just pastebinit filename14:45
andrews_http://paste.ubuntu.com/8008392/14:46
andrews_will also send the latest version of the errors I now get from sudo apt-get update14:47
andrews_http://paste.ubuntu.com/8008403/14:47
penguin42so have you looked for the files in /etc/apt.sources.d ?14:48
andrews_ah....no.  will do that now14:48
andrews_hmm, theres a sources.list.d directory, which contains a what looks to be individual files market medibuntu.  is that what you mean?14:51
penguin42yeh, each of the files in there is added to the /etc/apt.sources.list14:52
andrews_cool - how do I get rid of them?14:55
mappsjust remove them14:59

AzelphurI may or may not have just invented the best prank of all time, and installed it on a friends VPS. https://home.azelphur.com/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=7b58a5d13bdb1077cbbe8a9c0640bbb020:36

foobarryhas anyone had experience of scanning magazines?20:47
foobarryabout to come into possession of a large number of mags i would like to scan20:47

diddledanAzelphur: how do you get bash to intercept every execution request?20:47
Azelphurdiddledan: http://pastebin.com/XkerPnRX in bashrc :)20:48
diddledanAzelphur: I know how to intercept things like cd by creating a funciton of the same name as the builtin20:48
diddledanaah20:48
diddledannifty20:48
Azelphurmy amazing python one liner \o/20:49
* bigcalm ponders installing on work servers20:49
Azelphurhaha20:50
shaunothat seems like overkill?  you can do that in pure bash :)20:50
diddledanheh20:50
shaunooh, you are .. I just do it a very different way20:50
Azelphurhehe20:50
shaunobash has a var PROMPT_COMMAND.  if you set that to a function, it'll run efore PS1 prints20:52
AzelphurI see20:52
shaunobut now that I see yours I take back the overkill .. they'd end up the same either way.  the bash function would still be full of python :)20:54
Azelphurhehe20:54
ali1234so netflix... is all the stuff it shows you before you sign up actually available in the UK?23:34
daftykinsnever used it, but there's a trial so why not find out? :>23:37
ali1234well it looks like it's still a bit tricky to make it work on linux even if chrome supports it now, kind of23:47
ali1234so i thought i'd ask before i go to the trouble23:48
