[04:27] <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
[04:28] <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
[04:29] <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
[04:30] <ipitydaf00> next time for somthing that important i will run screen first
[04:30] <holstein> this is relevant..
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <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
[04:33] <ipitydaf00> i will do that
[04:33] <holstein> it would be handy if it automatically started a screen session
[04:34] <holstein> ps aux | grep screen should show that..
[04:58] <ipitydaf00> i assusmed incorrectly that the command was still running even when my session disconnected; i was worng
[04:58] <ipitydaf00> it had stopped
[04:59] <ipitydaf00> i had to boot into recovery mode and fix the packages
[05:27] <aelevadoan> o/
[05:28] <aelevadoan> im considering downloading lubuntu on a hp-pavilion-dv1000
[05:28] <aelevadoan> any suggestions?
[05:28] <aelevadoan> does it support ubuntu repositories well?
[05:28] <wxl> yes, aelevadoan. do it.
[05:28] <wxl> lubuntu IS ubuntu.
[05:29] <aelevadoan> and its a light weight distribution?
[05:29] <aelevadoan> wxl: its a Intel Core Duo T2300 / 1.66 GHz
[05:29] <wxl> aelevadoan: that's its whole purpose.
[05:29] <aelevadoan> wxl: 1gb ram
[05:29] <aelevadoan> ok
[05:29] <aelevadoan> :)
[05:30] <aelevadoan> wxl: anything I should know about lubuntu beforehand=
[05:30] <aelevadoan> ?
[05:30] <wxl> aelevadoan: to enjoy it with all your might and when you fall in love, come back and help us develop and/or support it :)
[05:30] <aelevadoan> :)))
[05:30] <aelevadoan> thank you very much
[05:30] <aelevadoan> Ive left this in my pidgin chats
[05:30] <aelevadoan> so we will be in contact
[05:30] <aelevadoan> :)
[15:56] <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 ?
[16:01] <silverlion> janolap1 : which version of Lubuntu?
[16:02] <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
[16:03] <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 ;)
[16:04] <janolap1> ok, thanx !
[16:04] <silverlion> u r welcome
[16:04] <silverlion> if there are any probs refer back here ;)
