[00:01] <ubottu> End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[00:02] <valorie> interesting, that's not the page I wanted
[00:02] <ifohancroft> I have check that page actually and it's the one that confused me. It has different EOL dates for 14.04, 14.04.03 and others etc
[00:03] <valorie> right, LTS support is only given if you upgrade to the point releases
[00:04] <valorie> so no support for 14.04
[00:04] <valorie> you must upgrade to 14.04.03 for support
[00:04] <ifohancroft> so the EOL of 14.04.03 is actually 2016?
[00:05] <valorie> where are you seeing that, ifohancroft?
[00:07] <ifohancroft> valorie https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases#Current - Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Trusty Tahr Changes August 6, 2015 HWE August 2016
[00:07] <ifohancroft> even though I don't really know what the HWE before the date in the EOL column means
[00:08] <D-rex> Hardware enablement stacks
[00:08] <valorie> ah, the hardware enablement stack is eol, not the release as a whole
[00:08] <valorie> sorry
[00:08] <valorie> should have read more closely
[00:08] <ifohancroft> ah, got it, ty
[00:10] <valorie> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_Support  for more information about kernel support
[00:11] <ifohancroft> thank you

[06:28] <Aaron> Is anyone here?

[07:57] <manolo> hello
=== rockie is now known as hompre
[08:07] <manolo> someone with Kubuntu 14.04 notice krdc doesnt support vnc protocol after last update?
[08:24] <hateball> manolo: works as expected here
[08:24] <manolo> did you update today?
[08:26] <hateball> manolo: I'm not sure what the day has to do with it, rather *what* got updated
[08:50] <hateball> manolo: anyhow, I am fully updated as of *now* and I am connecting to some OS X machine without issues
[08:51] <manolo> ok, thank you
[08:52] <lapion> Hello
[08:52] <lapion> I ahve a frozen kubuntu upgrade in session
[08:52] <ozo> hi
[08:52] <lapion> can anyone help
[08:53] <ozo> hahaha
[08:53] <lapion> From the logfile I know the upgrade is frozen at a question about whether to replace a cinnamon file or not
[08:54] <lapion> this is a reinstall last time It got frozen at the same point and I did a restore
[08:54] <valorie> by frozen, what do you mean?
[08:54] <valorie> keyboard and everything?
[08:55] <lapion> the gui of the installer is frozen
[08:55] <lapion> gui of the upgrade is frozen
[08:55] <lapion> so I cannot select to open the built-in terminal
[08:56] <valorie> can you get into a terminal with contro+alt+f2 or so?
[08:56] <lapion> the X-server is not frozen so I can open anyh other program
[08:56] <lapion> and yes I have the regular virtual terminals..
[08:57] <lapion> CTRL-Alt-F[1-12]
[08:57] <hateball> manolo: well I realize it doesnt help you, I am just saying it's not broken for *me* :)
[08:57] <valorie> so you can try to `sudo apt update`
[08:59] <lapion> valorie the upgrade is frozen last time I killed dpkg and wily and tried to fix the system with apt update and everything but the install cannot be fixed.
[08:59] <lapion> is there anyway to access the terminal used by the upgrade from another terminal ?
[08:59] <valorie> then try `sudo apt install -f` where -f means fix
[08:59] <manolo> i understand, i saw the new version is not really installed, the obsolete version was removed but not replaced by the new one :(   (Removing libvncclient0:i386 (0.9.9+dfsg-6~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1)
[09:00] <valorie> I've had bad upgrades before
[09:00] <valorie> sometimes I've had to run the same commands a few times
[09:01] <lapion> valorie, tried to fix this same situation before I had to do a restore and retry the upgrade
[09:01] <lapion> only to find out it is a reproducable upgrade problem
[09:01] <valorie> I've just pushed through it, with success
[09:02] <valorie> the computer I'm using right now has been upgraded, not a fresh install
[09:02] <valorie> 15.04 > 15.10
[09:02] <valorie> no problems
[09:02] <valorie> 14.10 > 15.04 was a bit more difficult
[09:03] <lapion> valorie, the upgrade program is frozen and awaiting an answer that I cannot gize becuase the built-in console will not open
[09:03] <hateball> lapion: do-release-upgrade runs in a screen so you should be able to attach to it, yes
[09:03] <lapion> hateball, screen says there is none
[09:04] <hateball> lapion: did you: sudo screen -list
[09:04] <hateball> as the upgrade doesnt run as your user
[09:04] <hateball> at any rate "ps aux|grep screen" should show a running process, I'd think
[09:05] <lapion> hateball, No Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-root.
[09:05] <hateball> ;f
[09:05] <lapion> hateball, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kscreen_backend_launcher
[09:06] <hateball> lapion: hmm. well, google suggests http://serverfault.com/questions/387547/how-do-i-reattach-to-ubuntu-servers-do-release-upgrade-process
[09:06] <hateball> that is, kill the upgrade, dpkg reconfigure
[09:08] <lapion> hateball, well back to the restore then.. last time did not end well... thank goodness for backups
[09:10] <hateball> lapion: did you try the suggestion in the thread?
[09:10] <lapion> no screens active
[09:12] <lapion> all I can see that "wily" has console: /dev/pts/1 (deleted)
[09:13] <lapion> and /dev/pts/2 is still active
[09:13] <hateball> I am talking about the part in the very first post under the bold UPDATE:
[09:14] <lapion> hateball, I tried that last time this happened. I ended up restoring my previous system
[09:15] <manolo> have to reboot, c u m8s
[09:15] <hateball> lapion: I see
[09:43] <lapion> hateball, I am off to redo the upgrade
[09:43] <hateball> lapion: good luck

[12:33] <jonah> Hi can anyone help. My sound card is no longer working so I'm trying to switch from gstreamer to vlc-backend in phonon. I've installed phonon-backend-vlc but when I go to Audio settings it doesn't show in the Backends section so I can't use it still. Does anyone know how to get it in the kde audio settings list?
