| zartoosh | HI I had an older ubuntu server, 12.04. I upgraded it to 14.04 using do-release-upgrade. Later whenever I try to install a package, a window pops up with title: dictionaries-common:worldlist and it says: An invalid debonf value [america (American English)] has been detected. How could I fix this please? thx | 15:04 |
| maxb | zartoosh: I would first try changing that setting. Try "dpkg-reconfigure -p low dictionaries-common" (as root). It will give you a text-based UI | 15:11 |
| zartoosh | maxb after running the command you suggested I get this output: dictionaries-common is broken or not fully installed. | 15:13 |
| maxb | Try reinstalling it them? | 15:13 |
| maxb | *then? | 15:13 |
| maxb | apt-get --reinstall install dictionaries-common | 15:13 |
| zartoosh | maxb: it says you must run dpkg --reconfigure -a , running that command pops up a window as I said before, which is not taking any input from my keyboard. Is there any other way I can fix this issue? Thanks | 15:16 |
| zartoosh | maxb, sorry I think I was wrong | 15:17 |
| zartoosh | maxb, I was able to run the reconfigure, then I issued the command you suggested. It seems during upgrade process some packages did not installed correctly. | 15:19 |
| maxb | Seems so. You may find the following commands useful: | 15:20 |
| maxb | dpkg --audit | 15:20 |
| maxb | dpkg -l | grep -Ev '^(ii|un|pn) ' | 15:20 |
| maxb | Actually you probably don't care about mostly-removed packages, so: | 15:21 |
| maxb | dpkg -l | grep -Ev '^(ii|un|pn|rc) ' | 15:21 |
| zartoosh | maxb it gives me a lit of packages that unpacked but not yet configured. | 15:21 |
| maxb | You may wish to try 'dpkg --configure -a' to retry pending configuration | 15:21 |
| maxb | zartoosh: You probably don't want to remove them all. | 15:25 |
| maxb | Better to start by retrying the configuration, seeing why it failed, and trying to fix it | 15:25 |
| maxb | So try 'dpkg --configure tex-common' and paste that | 15:26 |
| maxb | Though in this instance many of those packages seem to relate to authoring TeX documents so they may be irrelevant to you | 15:26 |
| zartoosh | maxb, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10358006/ | 15:27 |
| maxb | Looks like it succeeded this time. | 15:27 |
| maxb | Try 'dpkg --configure -a' to retry configuring the rest | 15:27 |
| maxb | maybe it will work, if not, we can look into where it breaks | 15:27 |
| zartoosh | maxb actually I get error at the end of running dpkg --configure text-common http://paste.ubuntu.com/10358054/ | 15:29 |
| maxb | Hmm. Looks like something obscure went wrong in the depths of the TeX system | 15:30 |
| maxb | TeX is a document authoring language | 15:30 |
| maxb | If this doesn't sound related at all to the functionality of the server, the simplest option may be to remove it | 15:30 |
| maxb | In which case, I would try 'apt-get remove tex-common' and be prepared for it to suggest removing a lot of other packages too | 15:31 |
| zartoosh | maxb I did that and dpkg --reconfigure -a runs with no errors. Thank you so much. | 15:32 |
| maxb | zartoosh: You should now re-check 'dpkg --audit', check /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* look correct for your upgraded version, and run 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to look for any parts of the upgrade which did not complete | 15:34 |
| zartoosh | max the output of the dpkg --audit gives me three packages should I remove them: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10358179/ | 15:41 |
| maxb | If you no longer want them on your system, sure | 15:41 |
| maxb | However the suggestion printed is to reinstall them rather than removing them | 15:41 |
| zartoosh | one last thing please. when I run apt-get autoremove I get this error: paste.ubuntu.com/10358146 | 15:43 |
| maxb | I'm not familiar with "ubucompilator". Perhaps it is a third party package with an error in it? | 15:44 |
| maxb | You can run 'dpkg -S /usr/share/menu/ubucompilator' to query which package installed that file | 15:45 |
| zartoosh | maxb thank you so much for all your help. | 15:45 |
| maxb | You may also be interested in 'apt-show-versions | grep -Fv uptodate' | 15:46 |
| maxb | It shows you all packages whose version doesn't match that available in the repositories pointed to by your current sources.list configuration | 15:46 |
| maxb | (You might have to install apt-show-versions first) | 15:46 |
| zartoosh | maxb, after insalling apt-show-versions and running the command you suggested. I get list of some packages with comment: No avaialble version in archive, what should I do about those packages? | 15:49 |
| maxb | This indicates one of two things | 15:49 |
| maxb | 1) Third-party packages installed from repositories which are no longer configured in your sources.list | 15:49 |
| maxb | 2) Packages existing in previous versions of Ubuntu which no longer exist in current ones | 15:49 |
| maxb | Or well, I suppose there's also | 15:50 |
| maxb | 3) Packages in Ubuntu components that you previously had enabled but no longer do | 15:50 |
| maxb | You should usually either remove the package or restore the sources.list configuration which would allow you to recieve updates | 15:51 |
| maxb | It depends on the packages and whether you still want them on your system | 15:51 |
| zartoosh | maxb, after checking the list, I decided to remove them. Thank you again. | 15:52 |
| rostam | HI after upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04, bash completion does not work for me? thx | 17:43 |
| sandstrom | I've just setup a VPN server (strongswan 5.1) running 14.04. 500/4500 UDP open. Access allowed from any ip. What are some basic security things that are important to consider? | 17:47 |

| KlausedSource | I googled and googled, but there is no solution to be found. I am on linaro ubuntu server 14.04 and have no cursor in nano nor vim. What can I do? | 19:38 |
| Walex | what does "have no cursor" mean? Is that the the thing you don't know what to do about? | 19:43 |
