[08:22] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[09:20] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[12:26] <StevenR> hrrmph. Still my LTS boxes won't prompt for 14.04.1
[13:13] <penguin42> there must be some debug you can extract to find out why
[13:28] <maps|wrk> penguin42,  hi all
[13:36] <penguin42> hey maps|wrk
[14:12] <shauno> it's not broken.  they won't prompt because http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts doesn't contain an entry for 14.04 yet
[14:13] <shauno> .. bug 1344762
[14:16] <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?
[14:17] <maps|wrk> sup penguin42
[14:18] <mapps> what errors
[14:18] <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: Duplicate sources.list entry http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise/free i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_precise_free_binary-i386_Packages)
[14:18] <andrews_> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise/non-free i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_precise_non-free_binary-i386_Packages)
[14:18] <andrews_> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[14:18] <mapps> paste bin it
[14:18] <mapps> do sudo apt-get upgrade | pastebinit
[14:20] <andrews_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8008238/
[14:23] <mapps> will have a look
[14:24] <andrews_> this is what I get when I run the update..... http://paste.ubuntu.com/8008274/
[14:25] <penguin42> those are only warnings
[14:25] <penguin42> ah
[14:25] <penguin42> andrews_: It looks like you've got a duff line in one of your apt config files
[14:26] <penguin42> actually a few breakages
[14:26] <andrews_> yeah about 5 near the end by the looks of it
[14:26] <penguin42> andrews_: First, packages.medibuntu.org seems to be down
[14:26] <andrews_> Have no idea how to fix those, I know my way round ubuntu in a very basic sense however thats a bit beyond me
[14:27] <penguin42> andrews_: 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 sure
[14:27] <andrews_> dont think I have
[14:27] <andrews_> I can get some of the sources though in the update manager cant I
[14:27] <penguin42> is this oriignally a medibunto install rather than a plain ubuntu?
[14:28] <penguin42> andrews_: You've also got a corrupted line somewhere - Err http://packages precise/non-free Sources
[14:29] <andrews_> its just a normal ubuntu install.  I added the medibuntu lines a while back to get dvd codecs
[14:29] <penguin42> andrews_: Have you edited or added entries in /etc/apt by hand at sometime in the past?
[14:30] <andrews_> might have  penguin42, yes.  will have been a while ago though
[14:33] <penguin42> andrews_: 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 broken
[14:35] <foobarry> i just read that the next version of chrome will allow linux usrs to watch netflix :-|
[14:35] <foobarry> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTc1ODY
[14:35] <foobarry> no wine faffing around
[14:39] <andrews_> Ok - done that.  Still no joy, can I copy and paste my sources.list to pastebinit from the command line?
[14:40] <penguin42> possibly if you have pastebinit installed
[14:41] <andrews_> I do....
[14:41] <andrews_> Rather than me copying the contents of sources.list into here!
[14:45] <penguin42> just pastebinit filename
[14:46] <andrews_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8008392/
[14:47] <andrews_> will also send the latest version of the errors I now get from sudo apt-get update
[14:47] <andrews_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8008403/
[14:48] <penguin42> so have you looked for the files in /etc/apt.sources.d ?
[14:48] <andrews_> ah....no.  will do that now
[14:51] <andrews_> hmm, theres a sources.list.d directory, which contains a what looks to be individual files market medibuntu.  is that what you mean?
[14:52] <penguin42> yeh, each of the files in there is added to the /etc/apt.sources.list
[14:55] <andrews_> cool - how do I get rid of them?
[14:59] <mapps> just remove them
[15:00] <andrews_> wont let me...theres no option to delete
[15:01] <penguin42> option? In what?
[15:37] <andrews_> just went to places and computer and navigated to the folder from there
[15:44] <penguin42> oh, should be able to delete I think on the right-click menu - I'm more of a command line person
[19:14] <foobarry> evening
[19:14] <popey> yo
[19:35] <bigcalm> What's happening, kids?
[19:36] <Myrtti> apparently there was a power cut in Cambs
[19:38]  * bigcalm hugs his power cables
[19:42] <diddledan> bigcalm: how can one insulated cable bring so much happiness?
[19:55] <foobarry> reminds me i need to re-set the mouse trap
[19:56] <foobarry> i've caught 3 since i've been setting traps
[20:36] <Azelphur> I 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=7b58a5d13bdb1077cbbe8a9c0640bbb0
[20:45] <foobarry> heh
[20:46] <bigcalm> Cute
[20:46] <Azelphur> python one liner in the bashrc haha
[20:46] <Azelphur> now to wait...
[20:47] <foobarry> has anyone had experience of scanning magazines?
[20:47] <foobarry> about to come into possession of a large number of mags i would like to scan
[20:47] <foobarry> for posterity
[20:47] <diddledan> Azelphur: how do you get bash to intercept every execution request?
[20:48] <Azelphur> diddledan: http://pastebin.com/XkerPnRX in bashrc :)
[20:48] <diddledan> Azelphur: I know how to intercept things like cd by creating a funciton of the same name as the builtin
[20:48] <diddledan> aah
[20:48] <diddledan> nifty
[20:49] <Azelphur> my amazing python one liner \o/
[20:49]  * bigcalm ponders installing on work servers
[20:50] <Azelphur> haha
[20:50] <shauno> that seems like overkill?  you can do that in pure bash :)
[20:50] <diddledan> heh
[20:50] <shauno> oh, you are .. I just do it a very different way
[20:50] <Azelphur> hehe
[20:52] <shauno> bash has a var PROMPT_COMMAND.  if you set that to a function, it'll run efore PS1 prints
[20:52] <Azelphur> I see
[20:54] <shauno> but 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] <Azelphur> hehe
[23:34] <ali1234> so netflix... is all the stuff it shows you before you sign up actually available in the UK?
[23:37] <daftykins> never used it, but there's a trial so why not find out? :>
[23:47] <ali1234> well it looks like it's still a bit tricky to make it work on linux even if chrome supports it now, kind of
[23:48] <ali1234> so i thought i'd ask before i go to the trouble
