| Quantos | I have a repository issue | 08:24 |
|---|---|---|
| Quantos | How do I find which repository isn't updating? | 08:24 |
| Quantos | And what's the proper way to deal with it? | 08:25 |
| Quantos | 15.10 | 08:25 |
| hateball | just running apt-get update should tell you which one fails | 08:26 |
| Quantos | Okay, but how do I need to run that for each repository? | 08:32 |
| Quantos | Or is it blanketed | 08:32 |
| Quantos | Hmm, the word 'how' doesn't belong in that sentence/question | 08:33 |
| Quantos | Okay, this was the result of that | 08:35 |
| Quantos | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsbarnes/indicator-keylock/ubuntu/dists/wily/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found | 08:35 |
| Quantos | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsbarnes/indicator-keylock/ubuntu/dists/wily/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found | 08:35 |
| Quantos | E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 08:35 |
| Quantos | shane@shane-HP-Compaq-Pro-6300-SFF:~$ | 08:35 |
| Quantos | Hey, could that be for my caps lock indicator software? | 08:36 |
| Quantos | And what do I do about it? | 08:37 |
| hateball | Quantos: ppa-purge | 08:42 |
| hateball | that will remove the packages installed as well tho | 08:42 |
| hateball | if that is unwanted, you can just comment out the PPA | 08:42 |
| hateball | edit the related file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 08:43 |
| Quantos | So just ppa-purge, it only affects broken whatchamacallits? | 08:44 |
| Quantos | I guess sudo first thoguh | 08:45 |
| Quantos | ah | 08:46 |
| Quantos | sudo apt-get install ppa-purge | 08:46 |
| Quantos | Nope, that didn't fix it, goint to try the edit | 08:49 |
| hateball | well you need to know what ppa to purge | 08:51 |
| Quantos | hateball, I have to documents in that folder | 08:51 |
| hateball | just running ppa-purge on its own wont do anything | 08:51 |
| Quantos | Do I have to edit them or can I just delete them? | 08:51 |
| hateball | Quantos: both works. editing is reversible | 08:52 |
| Quantos | Ah | 08:52 |
| Quantos | Very good point | 08:52 |
| Quantos | Okay, I'll let you know how I get on, thanks so much for your time | 08:52 |
| Quantos | That's the pound symbol for remarking it out? | 08:53 |
| hateball | yes | 08:53 |
| Quantos | I can't save the remarked document, when I right click and go to properties everything is greyed out | 08:55 |
| hateball | Quantos: you need to edit it as root | 08:56 |
| Quantos | So I need to open a terminal in that directory and then do what exactly? | 08:57 |
| hateball | I am not sure what command to properly launch gui apps as root in lxde | 08:57 |
| hateball | Quantos: sudo nano /path/to/file | 08:57 |
| hateball | ctrl+x to save | 08:57 |
| hateball | !tab | 08:57 |
| Quantos | Okay | 08:57 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 08:57 |
| Quantos | Do I need to reboot or logout to finalize it? | 09:00 |
| Quantos | Or just run the updater again? | 09:00 |
| Spitfire5 | Hello! How to always start pcmanfm with double columns mode? | 09:03 |
| hateball | Quantos: just run apt-get again | 09:06 |
| hateball | Quantos: but I suppose you rebooted :D | 09:06 |
| Quantos | I wasn't sure how it worked | 09:07 |
| Quantos | At least linux has a nice gentle learning curve | 09:07 |
| hateball | :D | 09:07 |
| hateball | Quantos: Typically you do not need a reboot for anything but a new kernel | 09:08 |
| Quantos | Yeah, I remembered that after you told me | 09:08 |
| Quantos | :D | 09:08 |
| Quantos | Hmm, I even uninstalled the software and it's still throwing the error | 09:09 |
| Quantos | Wow, it just ran error free | 09:15 |
| Quantos | Thanks a lot hateball, have a great morning/evening eh? | 09:15 |
| hateball | :) | 09:16 |

| james1138_ | Question for the chat about Lubuntu. Is there a reason LXDE nor Lubuntu PPA are pre-installed? Would there be a issue about adding PPA to the repository? | 21:18 |
| wxl | pre-installed? i mean lxde comes with every lubuntu. | 21:18 |
| wxl | regarding the lubuntu ppa, no ppa is supported | 21:19 |
| tsimonq2 | ^ | 21:19 |
| james1138_ | What about https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=openbox | 21:20 |
| wxl | no ppa is supported | 21:20 |
| wxl | !ppa | james1138_ | 21:22 |

| Pinkamena_D | tried to install lubuntu alternate on a really old gateway solo. The whole installation process went well, but then when booting up I got the loading 'dots' and after that the screen went blank | 22:15 |
| Pinkamena_D | I can get to grub and I have tried nomodeset. Anything else I can try? | 22:16 |
