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 [15:11] 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 [15:13] maxb after running the command you suggested I get this output: dictionaries-common is broken or not fully installed. [15:13] Try reinstalling it them? [15:13] *then? [15:13] apt-get --reinstall install dictionaries-common [15:16] 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 [15:17] maxb, sorry I think I was wrong [15:19] 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. [15:20] Seems so. You may find the following commands useful: [15:20] dpkg --audit [15:20] dpkg -l | grep -Ev '^(ii|un|pn) ' [15:21] Actually you probably don't care about mostly-removed packages, so: [15:21] dpkg -l | grep -Ev '^(ii|un|pn|rc) ' [15:21] maxb it gives me a lit of packages that unpacked but not yet configured. [15:21] You may wish to try 'dpkg --configure -a' to retry pending configuration [15:25] zartoosh: You probably don't want to remove them all. [15:25] Better to start by retrying the configuration, seeing why it failed, and trying to fix it [15:26] So try 'dpkg --configure tex-common' and paste that [15:26] Though in this instance many of those packages seem to relate to authoring TeX documents so they may be irrelevant to you [15:27] maxb, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10358006/ [15:27] Looks like it succeeded this time. [15:27] Try 'dpkg --configure -a' to retry configuring the rest [15:27] maybe it will work, if not, we can look into where it breaks [15:29] maxb actually I get error at the end of running dpkg --configure text-common http://paste.ubuntu.com/10358054/ [15:30] Hmm. Looks like something obscure went wrong in the depths of the TeX system [15:30] TeX is a document authoring language [15:30] If this doesn't sound related at all to the functionality of the server, the simplest option may be to remove it [15:31] 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 [15:32] maxb I did that and dpkg --reconfigure -a runs with no errors. Thank you so much. [15:34] 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 [15:41] max the output of the dpkg --audit gives me three packages should I remove them: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10358179/ [15:41] If you no longer want them on your system, sure [15:41] However the suggestion printed is to reinstall them rather than removing them [15:43] one last thing please. when I run apt-get autoremove I get this error: paste.ubuntu.com/10358146 [15:44] I'm not familiar with "ubucompilator". Perhaps it is a third party package with an error in it? [15:45] You can run 'dpkg -S /usr/share/menu/ubucompilator' to query which package installed that file [15:45] maxb thank you so much for all your help. [15:46] You may also be interested in 'apt-show-versions | grep -Fv uptodate' [15:46] 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] (You might have to install apt-show-versions first) [15:49] 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] This indicates one of two things [15:49] 1) Third-party packages installed from repositories which are no longer configured in your sources.list [15:49] 2) Packages existing in previous versions of Ubuntu which no longer exist in current ones [15:50] Or well, I suppose there's also [15:50] 3) Packages in Ubuntu components that you previously had enabled but no longer do [15:51] You should usually either remove the package or restore the sources.list configuration which would allow you to recieve updates [15:51] It depends on the packages and whether you still want them on your system [15:52] maxb, after checking the list, I decided to remove them. Thank you again. [17:43] HI after upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04, bash completion does not work for me? thx [17:47] 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? [18:06] how can i disable blanking of the lcd screen in ubuntu 14.04 server? === bilde2910 is now known as bilde2910|away [19:38] 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? [19:43] what does "have no cursor" mean? Is that the the thing you don't know what to do about? === markthomas|away is now known as markthomas === FreezingCold is now known as Stalin === Stalin is now known as JStalin === JStalin is now known as FreezingCold === martins-afk is now known as martinst === martinst is now known as martins-afk === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
