| ipitydaf00 | i ssh'd from a laptop into lubuntu and ran the sudo apt-get upgrade command, but my laptop died and killed the session. how can i display what the command is currently doing from anther computer? | 04:27 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | wow.. i think i would just start over, using "screen", in case i get cut off | 04:27 |
| holstein | you should get a warning if its still running in the background, in which case, i would wait on it to complete.. | 04:28 |
| ipitydaf00 | yea if i try to run other related commands it tells me files are locked | 04:28 |
| holstein | i would run "screen", then, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and see if i get an error about lock or whatever | 04:28 |
| holstein | ipitydaf00: right.. i think i would at least wait that out for a while | 04:28 |
| holstein | you dont want to interrupt it at the wrong point | 04:29 |
| ipitydaf00 | yea thats what i was afraid of | 04:29 |
| ipitydaf00 | ok cool thanks for the info; i didnt know how to search for something like that | 04:29 |
| ipitydaf00 | next time for somthing that important i will run screen first | 04:30 |
| holstein | this is relevant.. | 04:30 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/222587/how-to-check-apt-get-upgrade-status-after-losing-ssh-connection | 04:31 |
| ipitydaf00 | haha | 04:31 |
| holstein | i mean, mentioning the screen thing again, as well | 04:31 |
| holstein | but, you can search for the process.. | 04:31 |
| ipitydaf00 | thx a million | 04:31 |
| holstein | ps aux | grep whatever | 04:31 |
| holstein | or.. just ps aux, i suppose and see what is there | 04:31 |
| holstein | im assuming, if you wait it out, it will complete, and you will be fine.. | 04:32 |
| holstein | i think you are right to be cautious.. and, it wont hurt to ask in #ubuntu | 04:32 |
| ipitydaf00 | i will do that | 04:33 |
| holstein | it would be handy if it automatically started a screen session | 04:33 |
| holstein | ps aux | grep screen should show that.. | 04:34 |
| ipitydaf00 | i assusmed incorrectly that the command was still running even when my session disconnected; i was worng | 04:58 |
| ipitydaf00 | it had stopped | 04:58 |
| ipitydaf00 | i had to boot into recovery mode and fix the packages | 04:59 |

| janolap1 | hi there, I have a "Internet box" issue, so I have to use a wifi stick : WG111v3. I can't download the linux-firmware-nonfree on my PC (because it only have a ethernet wire), so I downloaded it from another PC (which have already wifi on it). I have a deb file now. How should I use it to install the deb on my linux PC to use the WG111v3 ? | 15:56 |
| silverlion | janolap1 : which version of Lubuntu? | 16:01 |
| janolap1 | silverlion : I'm not in front of my lubuntu, but I think it's 14.04... | 16:02 |
| janolap1 | or 14.10 | 16:02 |
| silverlion | then you normally need to double click the deb file | 16:02 |
| silverlion | then it should bring up an installation guide | 16:03 |
| janolap1 | ok, simple as that ! | 16:03 |
| silverlion | at least that's what I always do :D | 16:03 |
| janolap1 | How can I check if there are some dependencies ? | 16:03 |
| silverlion | janolap1 : the program will tell you ;) | 16:03 |
| janolap1 | ok, thanx ! | 16:04 |
| silverlion | u r welcome | 16:04 |
| silverlion | if there are any probs refer back here ;) | 16:04 |
