[02:21] <markc> how can I fix the "The repository is insufficiently signed by key" problem?
[02:23] <Unit193> markc: If it's a PPA, it's just a warning not an error.
[02:25] <markc> Unit193: I've read a few buf reports about but no where have I seen a clear guide on how to get the right signed keys
[02:25] <Unit193> markc: Can you pastebin it?
[02:28] <markc> Unit193: right, I just commented out all my ppa's and it looks like the google-talk plugin was the main culprit, now my packages have updated
[02:29] <Unit193> Ah yeah that repo... That's one that is actually erroring out.  Others should just be warnings, though check the messages to be sure.
[02:29] <Unit193> https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Apt/Sha1Removal see here.
[02:31] <markc> Unit193: thanks for the link, yes, the google-talk plugin was the show stopper
[02:32] <Unit193> markc: FWIW, it'll exit with err1, but everything else will actually update.
[02:32] <Unit193> And, good you got it solved!  That repo should be fixed soon™
[02:50] <brad_> #ru
[10:18] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:57] <ake_> Hey. Anyone know how to fix fonts on gtk apps on kubuntu 15.10? I use font scaling 120dpi, oxygen-sans sans-book. But fonts in gtk apps are bold or wrong font?
[11:58] <ake_> Eclipse using gtk2 reports the correct system font but renders something else. When overriding manually with the correct font it looks alright
[11:59] <ake_> .fonts.conf looks alright with same hinting
[12:01] <ake_> It might be using the Sans font
[12:08] <ake_> solved it! remove the Sans-Book part in the two places in in .gtkrc-2.0
[14:35] <markslaw> is there a way to reinstall the O/S without losing all my data?
[14:37] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[14:37] <darinmiller> markslaw: do you know how or if your drive was partitioned?
[14:37] <markslaw> how do i find out? it's been a while since I installed it
[14:38] <markslaw> the issue is that when I try to upgrade certain packages, I get an error message.
[14:39] <markslaw> When I look in Muon Package manager, I find that certain files, like linux-image-generic are "broken"
[14:39] <darinmiller> Launch KDE partition manager and select the drive where Kubuntu is installed.
[14:39] <markslaw> This is the only indication I have that something is amiss.
[14:39] <markslaw> Is this why I can't upgrade packages?
[14:40] <markslaw> How can I correct this?
[14:40] <BluesKaj> markslaw, any ppas in your sources?
[14:41] <markslaw> what's a ppa?
[14:41] <BluesKaj> !ppa
[14:41] <BluesKaj> probly not if you have to ask
[14:41] <markslaw> no. no ppas
[14:44] <BluesKaj> markslaw, also we have to ask if you've updated and upgraded your packages in the package manager?
[14:44] <darinmiller> markslaw: did you try: sudo apt-get -f install
[14:45] <markslaw> what does -f install do?
[14:45] <BluesKaj> fixes
[14:45] <darinmiller> markslaw it attempt to fix broken packages
[14:46] <markslaw> just tried it. it returned a bunch of error messages
[14:48] <markslaw> part of one of the error messages was "failed to write (No space left on device) and this is a 2 TB drive with better than 75% free space!
[14:49] <darinmiller> oh!
[14:49] <darinmiller> markslaw run this: sudo apt-get autoremove
[14:50] <darinmiller> markslaw you may need to run it mulitple times.  Keep running it until nothing is removed.
[14:50] <darinmiller> markslaw reboot then run: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[14:51] <darinmiller> markslaw I assume you have a boot partition that filled up (happens after several kernel updates)
[14:51] <darinmiller> markslaw run df -l
[14:52] <darinmiller> This will list your patitions and the space remaining.
[14:53] <markslaw> so right. /def/sda1 mounted on /boot is full. what do i do now?
[14:54] <markslaw> make that dev/sda1
[14:56] <darinmiller> markslaw just run sudo apt-get autoremove
[14:58] <markslaw> just did it. no dice. same error messages. sounds like brute force is required.
[14:58] <markslaw> can i upload a screen shot here?
[15:01] <darinmiller> markslaw from the command line, cd into /boot
[15:01] <markslaw> okay. i'm there
[15:03] <BluesKaj> maybe it's a UEFI boot problem
[15:10] <darinmiller> markslaw sry had to step away, back now.
[15:11] <darinmiller> do a directory listing: ls -al
[15:13] <markslaw> i'm back.
[15:13] <darinmiller> markslaw your drive is so full, the std cleanup commands fail
[15:14] <darinmiller> run ls -al
[15:14] <markslaw> okay, fine. now what?
[15:14] <klassik> hi
[15:15] <darinmiller> markslaw find the oldest file that benins with iniitrd
[15:17] <markslaw> entering ls iniitrd* returns nothing
[15:18] <darinmiller> markslaw  dpkg --list | grep linux-image
[15:19] <darinmiller> markslaw sry mistyped: ls iniitrd*
[15:20] <markslaw> okay. i found a bunch of linux-image files. now what?
[15:21] <darinmiller> markslaw review this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu
[15:21] <darinmiller> markslaw scroll down to the sectoin where it mentions sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic
[15:26] <darinmiller> markslaw you will need to run the at-get purge command on an older versoin of your kernel.  Then, the auto-remove command should  work.
[15:31] <darinmiller> markslaw I just discovered that autoremove fails when updates are queued but drive is out of space.  The purge command will create the space but you will need to complete the updates before proceeding with the autoremove.  I recommend manually purging at least 2 of the older kernel manaully.
[15:34] <jubo2> fi.archive.ubuntu.com down?
[15:34] <jubo2> 'sudo apt update' hangs on it
[15:35] <jubo2> and 'sudo apt upgrade' says that some vital core packages "cannot be verified"
[15:35] <jubo2> recommends pressin "n"
[15:35] <jubo2> I totally don't want a sploited udev or any other stuff
[15:35] <markslaw_> i'm back
[15:36] <markslaw_> not a lot of help with that symantec move. it didn't remove some stuff.
[16:19] <markslaw> okay, i'm back. problem sloved
[16:21] <markslaw> turns out that the solution was to mark the broken packages for removal in Muon Package Manager and apply. After that, everything normalized.
[16:22] <DarinMiller> markslaw Good to hear.
[16:22] <DarinMiller> markslaw how about the space in your boot partition (df -l)
[16:25] <markslaw> let me check
[16:26] <markslaw> how do i do that again?
[16:28] <markslaw> never mind. df reports 96% use of /boot
[16:30] <DarinMiller> now try the sudo apt-get autoremove
[16:30] <markslaw> how can i make more space in that partition?
[16:31] <DarinMiller> You can increase the partition size by booting to USB and moving/resizing partitions but it it very slow (hours if you don't have SSD drives).
[16:32] <markslaw> i just ran apt-get autoremove but no additional space was freed up.
[16:33] <markslaw> am i going to have to go through this again in june when kubuntu is upgraded?
[16:34] <DarinMiller> The upgrade will flush this directory, but I may need some room to write before it flushes.  Use Moun to manually select older versions of the kernel for removal.
[16:36] <DarinMiller> ensure not to remove the current kernel version. what is your current version of the keneral ( uname -a )
[16:37] <markslaw> 4.2.0-21-generic
[16:40] <genii> If you have some other larger partition, you can copy the /boot contents there and bind mount. I sometimes have to this with /var/cache/apt/archives because the /var on my SSD sometimes runs out of room
[16:40] <genii> It works to at least get stuff installed/deinstalled until you resize stuff
[16:41] <markslaw> am i safe deleting linux-image 4.2.0-19-generic and others beside the current 4.2.0-21 ?
[16:41] <DarinMiller> markslaw yes, deleting all but the current kernel is safe
[16:41] <DarinMiller> list all installed kernel: dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{print $2}'
[16:42] <DarinMiller> remove one at time via command line: sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x-xx-generic
[16:43] <DarinMiller> replace the x.x.x-xx with an older kenel version.
[16:46] <markslaw> here goes...
[16:46] <markslaw> great! that brought the partition down to 36% usage
[16:47] <DarinMiller> excellent!
[16:47] <DarinMiller> how many kernels are left: dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{print $2}'
[16:48] <markslaw> i'm still showing previous kernel versions, 3.19.0-15 and so on. i'm guessing I can remove these as well?
[16:48] <DarinMiller> my boot partition show 3% used but my boot partition is 300mb
[16:49] <DarinMiller> yes, continue removing the old ones
[16:49] <DarinMiller> when done, update grub: sudo update-grub2
[16:51] <markslaw> why update grub?
[16:57] <genii> After all the old kernels are removed, if there is still other kernel-related packages like headers, linux-image-extra, and so on, it should prompt you to run apt with autoremove
[17:02] <markslaw> okay, i'm back. just rebooted. tell me again, why did i update grub?
[17:02] <DarinMiller> Do you dual boot or does the grub menu show up when you reboot?
[17:04] <DarinMiller> If not, no need to worry about updating grub.  Grub retains a list of installed kernel and allows you to select older kernels for booting.  Updating grub ensure you do not try to reboot to kernel that no longer exist on your PC.
[17:06] <markslaw> i don't dual boot. why in the world would i want something like windoze on my computer? I've just successfully weaned my wife off of it.
[17:07] <DarinMiller> :) Dual or multi booting is not just window/linux installs. You can install other version of Linux and manage via grub :)
[17:07] <markslaw> i see the sense, though. since i had other, older kernels on the machine, it just makes sense to avoid booting to them. thanks a bunch.
[17:07] <DarinMiller> You're welcome.
[17:22] <Canon> Hello ... Installed kubuntu with all the downloads and updates... Now I am not able to install any deb files that I would want for later use ... any ideas why
[17:31] <genii> Canon: Please explain "not able to install any deb files ... for later use"
[17:40] <Canon> well I have installed kubuntu 14.04 and updated and downloaded all third party drivers... When I go to install at this point teamviewer It failes every time....
[17:53] <genii> Canon: Please pastebin the output when you try: sudo dpkg -i teamviewer.deb     ( where teamviewer.deb is the name of the file you got from http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/ )
[18:29] <egonsen> hi. i cannot login with kdm. after entering my password, the loin screen disappears for one second and shows up againn. are there any log files i can check?
[18:34] <hydrogen> How do I change the sound output device for firefox?
[18:34] <hydrogen> everything I'm finding on the google is 5 years old
[18:43] <jubo2> security.ubuntu.com is hanging when accessed with IPv6
[18:43] <jubo2> That or my operator hates me more than usual
[18:44] <jubo2> The operator freezes my ssh
[18:44] <jubo2> unless I'm running tmux in it
[18:45] <jubo2> They said they looked and found no faults in their system
[18:45] <jubo2> dohh..
[20:33] <DarinMiller>  /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER DarinMiller_ nzgfxszcnnzw
[20:35] <Unit193> DarinMiller: Did you know you can just use /msg nickserv group ?
[20:36] <DarinMiller> No, I am fairly new to IRC.  what does the grouping function do?
[20:37] <Unit193> It just groups the nick to your current account rather than creating a whole new account.  It certainly has advantages.
[20:42] <DarinMiller_> I must replace my dang modem, it keeps dropping connection which plays havoc with the IRC identity stuff.
[20:50] <DarinMiller_> Unit193 what is the purpose of the group option?  I see it listed here, http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/m-commands.html but I am not sure why it would be useful.
[20:53] <Unit193> DarinMiller_: As opposed to registering a new nick, it's helpful for having a fallback nick in case you reconnect before your former connection times out.  In your case, your automatic identification is tied to the nick you're currently using, if you group that you'll still be identified.
[20:58] <DarinMiller_> If I configure Konversation with multiple nicknames, does it perform the group command upon connection? Or is that a manual command required every time I log in?
[21:01] <Unit193> DarinMiller: That's a one time thing, just like registration.
[21:01] <DarinMiller> OK, thx
[21:02] <jubo2> The 16.04 install is not getting through 'sudo apt update'
[21:02] <jubo2> but I guess that's totally understandable
[21:02] <genii> jubo2: "weak keys" ?
[21:02] <jubo2> Not being released yet and everything
[21:03] <jubo2> genii: Why should I have weak keys. I want 4k GPG keys
[21:03] <jubo2> David Cameron can have funtime trying to tell the GCHQ to get the encryption undone
[21:06] <genii> jubo, no I mean this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15429441/
[21:07] <jubo2> mmm... this cold spanish tortilla with balsamic vinegar is good
[21:10] <jubo2> no..
[21:10] <jubo2> just Finnish mirrors of repos of next month's release not working
[21:10] <jubo2> no reason why that shouldn't happen
[21:11] <genii> Revert them to the main repos then
[21:11] <jubo2> I'll sleep on it... If it still gone tomrrow and day after that I get worried
