Guest2Lubuntu 14.04.3 I have problems with install updates. And now the screen have another size and can not connect to any network. I have a red one way symbol down to the right.18:25
aworanHi all,18:27
Guest2What can i do to make it work again ?18:27
aworanI want to report a problem in chromium with lubuntu 15.10.1 for raspberry pi 2 => https://ubuntu-pi-flavour-maker.org18:29
aworanI don't know if this version of lubuntu is supported by lubuntu community and if it is where I can do a bug report ?18:29
wxlGuest2: you might want to pastebin /var/log/{dmesg,syslog}18:29
wxlaworan: there is this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/RaspberryPi18:30
wxlaworan: although we should really file a bug somewhere18:30
wxlaworan: what's the problem?18:30
Guest2I am using another computer now.18:30
wxlGuest2: well we need to figure out why you're having this problem, so unless you can tell me we probably need the logs XD18:31
Guest2But it told me with other things the third part repository cud be a problem18:31
wxlGuest2: well, i need info to help you out. specifics, not generalities. however, unless you have a third party repository for a networking component, i doubt that's causing THAT problem.18:32
aworanhi wxl,18:32
aworanHTML5 Videos rendering is with bad colors18:32
wxlaworan: and you can confirm the same version on a non-arm chip is ok?18:33
Guest2It looks like it is still some updates left and not installed.18:33
wxlaworan: and for that matter, what about in mate?18:33
wxlGuest2: but you have no internet connection, right?18:33
aworanwxl, I didn't try I will install it in my x86 laptop tomorrow to test18:33
Guest2No. the network is grey.18:33
aworanso I don't know if it is just the arm version or not yet18:34
wxlGuest2: so then, yuou need to solve that problem first. and it would be good to figure out why. which is why i asked for logs18:34
wxlaworan: i think comparing it on another de would be valuable. if it fails on ALL the other images provided by that site, then it's probably best to file a bug against ubuntu-pi-flavor-maker itself18:34
aworanin mate I test on 15.10 and it works well18:34
wxlaworan: on the other hand, if it affects all architectures, it'd be better to file a bug against chromium itself18:35
aworanI didn't try in 15.10.1  yet18:35
wxlyeah try to keep the versions the same18:35
aworanyes I need to try it first18:35
Guest2I understand. I am on a hotel and need the computer on my room. The updates crash. I have a usb memory to reinstall. But it looks like the installation program also dont want to connect to a network.18:35
aworanwxl: are you on lubuntu 15.10.1 on x86 or amd64 now ?18:35
wxlGuest2: perhaps you should discuss connectivity issues with the hotel :)18:36
Guest2No. It works.18:36
wxlaworan: oh hahah good quesiton. i'm at work and we use kubuntu. i've got a xenial vm laying around but that probably won't help us.18:36
Guest2I downloaded the updates.18:36
Guest2before it crashes.18:36
aworanwxl : ok no problem ;)18:37
wxlGuest2: so yes or no: does your internet connection work?18:37
wxlaworan: you might ask on lubuntu-devel and see if any testers might be able to help18:37
aworanI will try on mate under my rpi first with the last updates18:37
Guest2Internet works on the hotel. Afte the installed updates crash i can not connect anymore.18:37
Guest2No networks show up.18:37
aworanlubuntu-devel is another freenode channel ?18:37
wxlaworan: yep18:38
wxlaworan: well #lubuntu-devel18:38
aworanwxl: thank you it is my first time on freenode :P18:38
wxlaworan: ahh welcome. and thanks for testing the pi2! did you see the post on the lubuntu.me blog about it?18:38
aworanno I don't I will read that very soon :)18:39
wxlGuest2: i need the pci id of your wireless chip. lspci -nn will help18:39
wxlaworan: oh it's got a pic of my pi2 which has xenial and lxqt on it XD18:39
aworanwxl : but lubuntu works very fine faster than mate ! and I have a lot of ram free :)18:40
Guest2Can i reinstall without a network ? It will not download codecs and flashplayer.18:40
wxlGuest2: sure if you have another computer you can download the required files and then a usb stick or something to transfer it to the other computer18:40
wxlaworan: that's what lubuntu is good for :)18:40
Guest2I have a lubuntu usb with me. It is ready. And when i try lubuntu there is network.18:41
aworanwxl : the only problem I found is the html5 video bug on chromium and I tested a lot of things18:41
wxlaworan: you might want to send a message to lubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com to see if anyone can check it18:41
aworanwxl : ok I will :)18:42
wxlGuest2: you will have to find (on launchpad) the deb files for all the packages you need and you will need to get all their dependencies as well. it could take a long time18:42
wxlGuest2: or you could boot the live cd, mount the hard drive, chroot it, and then install the packages18:42
Guest2If i type lspci -nn in terminal the message can help if i tell you _18:43
aworanwxl : there is some things to improve too, I think I will be good to compile some packages with hardware acceleration enable like ffmpeg, vlc (but I think code for mmal is broken)18:43
wxlGuest2: find the pci id which is in the form XXXX:XXXX for the wifi18:44
wxlaworan: are you remotely connecting to the display?18:44
Guest2it is only the network. rest of the errors will still remain.18:44
aworanwxl : no I'm not18:44
wxlaworan: i'm trying to figure out a GOOD solution for that. unfortunately x2go does not have binaries for arm18:45
Guest2I be back. think i need the computer to give you some informations.18:45
aworanwxl : it will be good to add a gstreamer-1.0-omx package too because we can have h264 hardware encoding with it. I tested it on raspbian it work good18:46
wxlaworan: definitely mail this stuff to the list!18:47
aworanwxl : I need go to lunch, I wrote a lot of tutorials in ubuntu mate community forum (install flash player, compile ffmpeg with mmal, browse on youtube faster etc..)18:48
aworanmaybe we can talk later and I give you some of my ideas ? :)18:48
aworanwxl : Ok I will, see you ;)18:49
wxlaworan: nice!!! talk soon18:49
Guest2wxi> I am back18:57
Guest2Running. try without install lubuntu.18:57
Guest2An error ocoured, please run package manager from the right clickmeny or apt/get in a terminal to see what is wrong. the error message was:Error:Broken<count >0. This usally means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies.19:01
wxlGuest2: just pastebin the output19:01
Guest2I got this.19:01
Guest2How can i pastebin when i try it from a usb memory and the crashed updates ar on the other instalation on the ssd drive _19:02
Guest2I noted the message only.19:03
wxlGuest2: the usb has networking right? and it's connected to the computer that the ssd is connected to, right?19:03
Guest2yes19:03
Guest2I can runt it like this.19:04
wxlGuest2: so mount the drive, chroot it, and then act like you're running off the ssd. because you are.19:04
Guest2chroot ?19:04
Guest2i dont know what that is.19:04
wxl!chroot | Guest219:04
ubottuGuest2: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot19:04
Guest2I run it from the usb drive. I helps. I can reinstall later. or is your idea better _19:06
Guest2?19:06
wxlGuest2: with my idea you can potentially fix the problem, but if you want to run off the usb drive, that obviously works. just mount the drive if you need to access it19:07
Guest2mount the drive from here i am running now _19:08
Guest2?19:08
wxlGuest2: if you want access to the ssd, you mount it19:08
Guest2How ?19:08
Guest2and there i can fix the problems ?19:08
wxlGuest2: you should just be able to click it in the file manager19:09
wxlGuest2: you can fix the problem if you chroot19:09
Guest2Even if i acces the ssd i dont know what to do. I have not importen thing on it. It is small 8GB.19:09
Guest2It is mounted.19:10
Guest2i can see the files.19:10
wxlGuest2: so now you have access to the files and can do what you want19:10
Guest2yes.19:10
wxlGuest2: but if you want to fix that installation, you should probably chroot in. either that or figure out why your networking is not working and fix that.19:11
wxlGuest2: and that that we need some details19:11
Guest2Can i fix the updates on the disk when i go into the files ?19:11
wxlGuest2: only if you chroot19:12
Guest2Or format it. the problmen is gone for ever.19:12
Guest2How can i chroot ? it meedn analyzing files ?19:13
wxl!chroot | Guest219:13
Guest2I write that in terminal ? !chroot ?19:14
Guest2What happens then ?19:14
wxlGuest2: no. look at  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot19:15
Guest2what about the message i got ?19:16
wxlGuest2: you can't fix anything without being chrooted19:17
Guest2An error ocoured, please run package manager from the right clickmeny or apt/get in a terminal to see what is wrong. the error message was:Error:Broken<count >0. This usally means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies.19:18
Guest2I dont know what i cna do with this chrooting. You meen disble some programs so rest of it works ?19:21
Guest2Shud not LTS be stable ? why it crash _19:22
Guest2The chrooting looks complictated. Better to reinstall if i dont can fix the updatefunction.19:24
wxlGuest2: that would be the simplest solution, to just reinstall19:25
Guest2I am looking for a solution to start the updates.19:25
wxlGuest2: that involves chrooting, or figuring out your networking problems19:26
Guest2it is in the updates. they crash.19:26
Guest2they disturbe the sytem when they crash.19:26
Guest2sytem19:26
wxlthat's unlikely the problem19:27
wxlcan you ping google.com on the machine?19:27
Guest2they dont get finnish.19:27
Guest2how can i ping ?19:27
wxlopen a terminal and type ping google.com19:28
Guest2what can i do with the results ?19:28
wxltell them to me19:29
wxlit's either going to fail or succeed19:29
Guest2It is still working19:29
wxlthen it works19:29
wxlso you have networking19:29
wxlof course19:29
Guest2yes or i can not chat here.19:29
wxlyou're on the usb which you said it DOES work19:29
wxlso what you need to do is boot the broken system and try again19:29
Guest2I have rebot the system some times and the updates blocking the network when it crashed.19:30
Guest2Or stoped.19:30
wxlif you have networking on the machine, it can be fixed19:30
wxlif you do not, you need to fix the networking problems19:30
wxlit's not a safe assumption that the problem updates caused your networking problems19:31
Guest2It is not caused of the network.19:31
wxlso the broken machine has networking?19:31
Guest2the screen is not normal and the network dont works. It is messed up because it cud not finnish.19:32
wxlperhaps the networking never worked?19:32
Guest2An error ocoured, please run package manager from the right clickmeny or apt/get in a terminal to see what is wrong. the error message was:Error:Broken<count >0. This usally means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies.19:32
Guest2because of this.19:32
wxli have seen that message from you 3 times i think19:33
wxli understand the message and do not need to see it again19:33
Guest2but you dont tell me what it tells you.19:33
wxlGuest2: it tells me something is wrong with your updates, which could be caused by a lot of things. it does not tell me your networking doesn't work because of those failed updates.19:33
Guest2It tells me the lubuntu not works anymore.19:34
wxlno, it tells you the updates don't work19:35
wxlthere may be a byproduct of that that affects other things19:35
wxllong story short, we need to know if your networking works or not and if it doesn't, we need to figure out how to fix it19:35
wxlif you can't do that and you can't chroot, i would just reinstall19:35
Guest2Is it possibe to go into the mounted disk where the instalation are and remove the laste updates ? Mayeb restore it to what i was before i started the update to day ?19:36
wxlGuest2: it's possible only if you chroot.19:37
Guest2so remove the updatefiles is not a solution ?19:38
wxlnope19:38
wxlunless you want to figure out each and every single file that you need to reverse19:38
wxland then you'd need the deb files for the versions you wanted to re-install19:38
wxllike when we type apt-get update, there's a lot of files going back and forth. you'd have to figure out each one of those files on your own19:40
wxlif you chroot, i'd work19:40
wxlso there's two options: do some work with some more difficult solutions to fix the problem OR re-install19:40
Guest2It meens Chrooting or reinstall.19:43
wxlyep19:43
Guest2What can chrooting do for me ? And it needs a lot of time maybe ?19:43
wxlGuest2: with it you can boot to the usb drive. you basically tell the running system that the ssd is going to be your new root directory. then if you do an update, for example, it will do it on the ssd.19:45
Guest2But i still need the usb drive to run it ?19:46
wxlGuest2: yep. because it's the system with the networking.19:46
Guest2I am not sure i see any point of chrooting then. And the old installation is damage for ever ?19:47
wxlGuest2: no, if you chroot you can fix it. or you can just re-install. that's what i'd suggest19:48
Guest2Will chrooting use a long time ?19:49
wxlGuest2: not necessarily19:49
Guest2If i still need the usb drive the old installation is not fixed.19:50
wxlyou won't STILL need it19:50
wxlyou will need it to allow you to fix it19:50
Guest2It will let me access it. I can see the files.19:52
Guest2I am running one partition to fix another. I understand that. but it looks complicated.20:01
melodiehi20:03
Guest2How can i open nm-applet when lubuntu refuse to open it connection refused ?23:04
Guest2wxl: are you still here ? What happens if i reinstall lubuntu without network will the codecs and flashplayer be download when i connect later and update ?23:07
