[11:08] <CurvedFang> Hello.
[11:08] <CurvedFang> Is anyone here?
[11:10] <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.
[15:29] <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> ?
[15:31] <hippytaff> Can't see any bug reports...
[18:13] <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
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <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"?
[18:16] <weeps> do-release-upgrade still does not find a new version to upgrade to
[18:17] <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
[18:23] <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
[18:26] <weeps> it offered to upgrade to 12.04 but crashed (or went invisible?) after a while
[18:28] <weeps>  /tmp/update-manager-... is running, taking up almost all cpu power
[18:36] <weeps> ...for over 12 minutes now. Can I kill that safely? Seems to be stuck.
[18:41] <weeps> aptitude safe-upgrade installs from the 12.04 repos now, that is a good sign, right?
[19:23] <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
[19:25] <weeps> thanks, but I already did
[19:39] <weeps> rebooting now, fingers crossed. thanks so far.
[20:48] <suncokret> hello, is there someone for help? :)
[20:49] <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?
[20:50] <suncokret> i mean is that programs safe from viruses
