[11:08] Hello. [11:08] Is anyone here? [11:10] 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. [15:29] 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] ? [15:31] Can't see any bug reports... === AntiSpamMeta2 is now known as AntiSpamMeta [18:13] 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 [18:14] weeps: 12.04 [18:14] that's your next step. [18:14] you can go 11.10 to 12.04 and then 14.04, 14.04 is a supported LTS [18:14] ^ that too [18:14] 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 [18:15] I've followed these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Oneiric but that didnt help. adjusted the apt source accordingly [18:15] those are the correct instructions, what do you mean "didn't help"? [18:16] do-release-upgrade still does not find a new version to upgrade to [18:17] hm, that's weird :\ [18:17] stupid question [18:17] but did you try `do-release-upgrade -d`? [18:17] there were historic cases where that may be needed [18:17] yes, same result [18:23] I found that in "Software Sources" in the first tab all sources where unchecked [18:23] and I think it works now with that tool [18:26] it offered to upgrade to 12.04 but crashed (or went invisible?) after a while [18:28] /tmp/update-manager-... is running, taking up almost all cpu power [18:36] ...for over 12 minutes now. Can I kill that safely? Seems to be stuck. [18:41] aptitude safe-upgrade installs from the 12.04 repos now, that is a good sign, right? [19:23] 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] weeps: I would not kill it [19:25] thanks, but I already did [19:39] rebooting now, fingers crossed. thanks so far. [20:48] hello, is there someone for help? :) [20:49] suncokret:probably but we need to know what your question is to help you [20:49] is it secure if we use portable linux programs which we put for example in home directory? [20:50] i mean is that programs safe from viruses
