| CurvedFang | Is anyone here? | 11:08 |
| CurvedFang | I'm having an issue with booting into the BIOS after installing Lubuntu in Legacy Boot. Everything works okay but I am no longer able to access the BIOS. Upon boot, a white line that seems to be loading something comes up, and when I press f2 garbled white text comes up and I am unable to select anything. After, it just resumes booting and ends up at the login screen. | 11:10 |
| hippytaff | Anyone else having trouble with git. Git kills nano (causes a segfault and can't open and docs or new doc) and pretty much anything cli. apt-get install etc... | 15:29 |
| hippytaff | ? | 15:29 |
| hippytaff | Can't see any bug reports... | 15:31 |

| weeps | hi. is it possible to upgrade from lubuntu 11.10 to one of the LTS versions? I've tried different ways, but the system cannot find any suitable upgrade | 18:13 |
| teward | weeps: 12.04 | 18:14 |
| teward | that's your next step. | 18:14 |
| pleia2 | you can go 11.10 to 12.04 and then 14.04, 14.04 is a supported LTS | 18:14 |
| teward | ^ that too | 18:14 |
| pleia2 | you'll need to adjust your sources though, since 11.10 has been EoL for some time now and the repos don't work anymore | 18:14 |
| weeps | I've followed these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Oneiric but that didnt help. adjusted the apt source accordingly | 18:15 |
| pleia2 | those are the correct instructions, what do you mean "didn't help"? | 18:15 |
| weeps | do-release-upgrade still does not find a new version to upgrade to | 18:16 |
| pleia2 | hm, that's weird :\ | 18:17 |
| teward | stupid question | 18:17 |
| teward | but did you try `do-release-upgrade -d`? | 18:17 |
| teward | there were historic cases where that may be needed | 18:17 |
| weeps | yes, same result | 18:17 |
| weeps | I found that in "Software Sources" in the first tab all sources where unchecked | 18:23 |
| weeps | and I think it works now with that tool | 18:23 |
| weeps | it offered to upgrade to 12.04 but crashed (or went invisible?) after a while | 18:26 |
| weeps | /tmp/update-manager-... is running, taking up almost all cpu power | 18:28 |
| weeps | ...for over 12 minutes now. Can I kill that safely? Seems to be stuck. | 18:36 |
| weeps | aptitude safe-upgrade installs from the 12.04 repos now, that is a good sign, right? | 18:41 |
| ianorlin | weeps it might take a while if your computer is old as it has to use a lot of packing and upacking of the packages | 19:23 |
| ianorlin | weeps: I would not kill it | 19:23 |
| weeps | thanks, but I already did | 19:25 |
| weeps | rebooting now, fingers crossed. thanks so far. | 19:39 |
| suncokret | hello, is there someone for help? :) | 20:48 |
| ianorlin | suncokret:probably but we need to know what your question is to help you | 20:49 |
| suncokret | is it secure if we use portable linux programs which we put for example in home directory? | 20:49 |
| suncokret | i mean is that programs safe from viruses | 20:50 |
