| Maaz | Squirm: I already know stuff about Squirm | 12:20 |
| Squirm | I messed that one up | 12:21 |
| chesedo | Maaz: how do i use factoid | 12:25 |
| Maaz | chesedo: Factoids are arbitrary pieces of information stored by a key. Factoids beginning with a command such as "<action>" or "<reply>" will supress the "name verb value" output. Search and replace functions won't use real regexs unless appended with the 'r' flag. | 12:25 |
| Maaz | You can use it like this: | 12:25 |
| Maaz | search [for] [<limit>] [(facts|values) [containing]] (<pattern>|/<pattern>/[r]) [from <start>] | 12:25 |
| Maaz | literal <name> [( #<from number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] | 12:25 |
| Maaz | forget <name> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] | 12:25 |
| Maaz | <name> is the same as <other name> | 12:25 |
| Maaz | <name> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] += <suffix> | 12:25 |
| Maaz | <name> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] ~= ( s/<regex>/<replacement>/[g][i][r] | y/<source>/<dest>/ ) | 12:25 |
| Maaz | <factoid> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] | 12:25 |
| Maaz | <name> (<verb>|=<verb>=) [also] <value> | 12:25 |
| Maaz | last set factoid | 12:25 |
| chesedo | Squirm: ^^ | 12:25 |

| qwebirc36309 | Hi, I am a "new" user of Ubuntu, in that I have not used it much. I upgraded from 14.04 to 15.10 last night and when I checked my laptop, it had a The error message is: E: Error: BrokenCount > orun-parts: /etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available exited with return code 255 To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use " sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for details. Below that is a list of errors messages –t | 13:08 |
| qwebirc36309 | Sorry I am trying to type using my tablet and its very difficult | 13:08 |
| chesedo | lol okay, someone that may have faced this in the past will reply in a bit... just have to be patient | 13:10 |
| chesedo | Kilos: who may know ^^ | 13:10 |

| chesedo | qwebirc36309: after booting? | 13:11 |
| qwebirc36309 | OK, I've switched it off and on. It now reads: Ubuntu 15.10 iqbal-lenovo-G580 tty1 and on next line, iqbal-lenovo-G580 login: . my name is Iqbal and I have a lenovo g580 laptop | 13:15 |
| qwebirc36309 | I have logged in and screen reads: To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use " sudo <command>". See " man sudo_too" for details. | 13:21 |
| qwebirc36309 | What do I type in to get my system started?. Thanks | 13:22 |
| qwebirc36309 | Sorry, the details above should be "man sudo_root" | 13:24 |
| Kilos | hi qwebirc36309 | 13:24 |
| qwebirc36309 | Hi | 13:25 |
| Kilos | lemme catch up | 13:25 |

| qwebirc36309 | OK :) | 13:25 |
| Kilos | whew lets see what we can do | 13:26 |
| Kilos | its booting into command prompt right | 13:27 |
| chesedo | Kilos: tty... yes | 13:27 |
| qwebirc36309 | Yes | 13:27 |
| Kilos | ok so gui is missing | 13:27 |
| chesedo | and error after upgrade | 13:28 |
| Kilos | type in sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 13:28 |
| Kilos | then tell me what its doing | 13:28 |
| Kilos | waking slow, unhappy head today | 13:29 |
| Kilos | chesedo tel me if i miss something | 13:29 |
| chesedo | Kilos: was thinking more around 'dpkg reconfigure' but have no experience with this | 13:30 |
| qwebirc36309 | Following came up: Reading package lists...done. Building dependency tree. Reading state information... Done | 13:31 |
| Kilos | something is missing so bad upgrade imo. well work through it | 13:31 |
| Kilos | sudo apt-get update | 13:31 |
| qwebirc36309 | You might want to run 'apt-get -f install to correct these: | 13:32 |
| Kilos | then sudo dpkg --configure -a | 13:32 |
| Kilos | ok sudo apt-get -f install | 13:33 |
| qwebirc36309 | Should I continue typing all that came up? | 13:33 |
| Kilos | do sudo apt-get -f install | 13:34 |
| Kilos | then tell us what it says | 13:34 |
| chesedo | no need to list them | 13:34 |

| qwebirc36309 | My whole screen is full | 13:35 |
| Kilos | is it doing something? | 13:36 |
| Kilos | the prompt should be at the bottom | 13:37 |

| Kilos | it has to follow releases | 13:39 |
| Kilos | only lts can upgrade to next lts | 13:40 |

| Kilos | all i know i learned here | 16:41 |
| Iqbal | It's not doing anything, only the command prompt is there | 16:41 |
| Kilos | learning to use the cli is half the fun of learning | 16:41 |

| Kilos | dunno how his update manager managed to update from 14.04 to 15.10 | 18:13 |
| Kilos | but it broke everything | 18:14 |
| superfly | Kilos: by the looks of things he just needs to type "sudo mkdir -p /run/resolveconf/interfaces" and then "sudo dpkg --configure -a" again | 18:19 |
| superfly | Kilos: 14.04 directly to 15.10? | 18:19 |
| Kilos | ty superfly ill inform him if he returns | 18:19 |
| Kilos | yes i think thats what he said | 18:19 |
| superfly | wow | 18:20 |
| superfly | no wonder | 18:20 |
| superfly | you can't do that, it WILL break your system | 18:20 |
| Kilos | Hi, I am a "new" user of Ubuntu, in that I have not used it much. I upgraded from 14.04 to 15.10 last night and when I checked my laptop | 18:20 |
| Kilos | yes but the thng is he used update manager | 18:21 |
| Kilos | that shouldnt even give the option to jump like that | 18:21 |
| Kilos | Maaz tell iqbal on freenode by the looks of things he just needs to type "sudo mkdir -p /run/resolveconf/interfaces" and then "sudo dpkg --configure -a" again | 18:25 |

| magespawn | good evening | 19:13 |
| Kilos | hi magespawn | 19:13 |
| Kilos | Iqbal np | 19:14 |
| Iqbal | OK, I have command prompt | 19:14 |
| Kilos | sudo mkdir -p /run/resolveconf/interfaces | 19:14 |
| Kilos | exactly like that | 19:15 |
| Iqbal | Done. | 19:16 |
| Kilos | sudo dpkg --configure -a | 19:16 |
| Kilos | and hold thumbs | 19:16 |
| Kilos | are you sure that upgrade was from 14.04 to 15.10 | 19:17 |
| Kilos | not 14.10 | 19:17 |
| Iqbal | Setting up resolvconf (1.77ubuntu1) ... Followed by: processing triggers for resolvconf (1.77ubuntu1) ... | 19:18 |
| Iqbal | Yes | 19:19 |
| Kilos | wow | 19:19 |
| chesedo | whoo oo!!! | 19:20 |
| Iqbal | Top of my screen reads: Ubuntu 15.10 | 19:20 |
| chesedo | to restart sudo systemctl reboot | 19:20 |
| Iqbal | Reboot done | 19:22 |
| Kilos | and? | 19:22 |
| Kilos | is it fixed? | 19:22 |
| Iqbal | Ubuntu logo comes up with small buttons changing colors and then I have a blank screen | 19:23 |
| Kilos | did you find your install disk? | 19:24 |
| Iqbal | I am not sure if it's the right one but I can try | 19:26 |
| Kilos | without internet we will battle to fix that, boot from install disk and choose try ubuntu | 19:27 |
| Iqbal | When I go into boot menu, I only have 2 options: 1. Ata hdd. 2. PCI lan | 19:29 |
| chesedo | night all... and good luck with the fix | 19:30 |
| Iqbal | Thanks | 19:30 |
| Kilos | then you need to press fi or delete when booting and set bios to boot from whatever iso you have | 19:30 |
| Kilos | is it dvd or iso on flash disk? | 19:30 |
| Kilos | night chesedo | 19:30 |
| Iqbal | Dvd | 19:30 |
| Kilos | right in bios you set boot option to boot from dvd first | 19:31 |
| Kilos | then hdd | 19:31 |
| Iqbal | OK, when I booted up, I got a screen that I have never seen before. It said something like Ubuntu, with advanced options that I had to select within a few seconds. Which I did. | 19:35 |
| Kilos | yes thats recovery modes i think | 19:35 |
| Kilos | thats from the drive not the dvd | 19:35 |
| Kilos | does it give a recover option | 19:36 |
| Iqbal | It came up with a list of Ubuntu, with Linux 3.13.0-77-generic. Followed by the same whereafter in brackets it reads upstart.next line same, in brackets recovery mode | 19:37 |
| Kilos | choose an earlier recovery not the top one | 19:38 |
| Kilos | hopefully we can recover 14.04 | 19:38 |
| Iqbal | OK it's busy | 19:39 |
| Iqbal | Recovery menu came up | 19:39 |
| Iqbal | Resume. Clean. Dpkg. FailsafeX. Fsck. Grub. Network. Root. System summary | 19:41 |
| Kilos | fsck | 19:41 |
| Iqbal | Those are the options | 19:41 |
| Kilos | fsck is file system check | 19:41 |
| Kilos | it offers options at times to fix things i think | 19:42 |
| Kilos | thern when it goes back there choose the dpkg one | 19:43 |
| Kilos | but i think that might want internet, dont remember everything unless i see them | 19:44 |
| Iqbal | It done some stuff and failed to do something. Said to press enter somewhere in the middle of the screen. I entered. Back to recovery menu | 19:44 |
| Kilos | did you do the dpkg one too? | 19:45 |
| Iqbal | Can not upgrade. An upgrade from 'wily' to 'trusty' is not supported with this tool. Finished, please press enter | 19:46 |
| Kilos | enter | 19:47 |
| Iqbal | Back to recovery menu | 19:47 |
| Kilos | whats the top one | 19:47 |
| Kilos | resume? | 19:47 |
| Iqbal | On network option, it says Enable networking. Should I try it? | 19:48 |
| Kilos | try | 19:48 |
| Kilos | see what that does | 19:48 |
| Iqbal | Yes, top is resume | 19:48 |
| Kilos | ok then resume | 19:48 |
| Kilos | and hope it boots clean | 19:49 |
| Iqbal | Trying to start network manager | 19:49 |
| Iqbal | Only flashing prompt. Should I wait? | 19:50 |
| Kilos | hit enter and see | 19:50 |
| Kilos | if it still flashes its working on something | 19:51 |
| Iqbal | Nothing. Last option is system summary. Should I check what it says? | 19:51 |
| Kilos | lets see if the internet connection works | 19:52 |
| Kilos | ctrl+alt+F2 | 19:52 |
| Iqbal | OK will wait a bit | 19:52 |
| Iqbal | Should I resume first? | 19:53 |
| Kilos | yes | 19:53 |
| Kilos | lets see | 19:53 |
| Iqbal | Blank screen | 19:55 |
| Kilos | eish | 19:55 |

| Kilos | sudo apt-get update | 19:56 |
| Iqbal | Failed | 19:57 |
| Kilos | eish | 19:57 |
| Kilos | ok so that leaves us with booting from dvd | 19:58 |
| Kilos | you need to make sure bios boots from dvd first | 19:58 |
| Iqbal | OK, will try | 19:59 |
| Kilos | was there anything in there that you dont want to lose? | 20:02 |
| Iqbal | I don't mind losing any information | 20:02 |
| Kilos | then maybe it would be quicker to reinstall | 20:03 |
| Kilos | tell me a bit about it first | 20:04 |
| Iqbal | I still don't see any other boot options and if I try to get into the settings, it want a password, which I don't know | 20:04 |
| Kilos | is it a dual boot with windows | 20:04 |
| Kilos | did you try enter without a password | 20:05 |
| Iqbal | No, I made it without windows | 20:05 |
| Kilos | good | 20:05 |
