[00:00] but this is no server environment, just because it runs mysql-server ;-). [00:01] oh, how nice, it's actually running the upgrade commands automatically after all the errors, I think [00:01] : Tux|dude did you reboot? [00:01] nice one. [00:02] the mysql upgrade script, that is [00:02] Sadly yes [00:02] I can still access the recovery kernel though [00:02] : Where does it boot to? [00:02] I get past the kubuntu boot screen then I just get a screen with the flashing cursor in the top left corner [00:03] I expect bumby roads for Debian though, not for Ubuntu....... [00:03] unless you have customized your system etc. [00:04] well the nice thing is that I actually works and I also used 15.10 -> 16.04 to get here. [00:04] : When you get the black screen can you access a tty screen by holding control alt and tap F1? [00:04] but in the end it is just package upgrades what it comes down to. [00:04] I haven't tried that [00:04] also upgraded a Debian 7 to Debian 8 without any problems. [00:05] : Could you try? [00:05] I was scared to death though. [00:05] Sure. Lemme just get my phone running an irc client so I can stay connected [00:06] : Sounds like you have a problem with sddm [00:07] sddm? [00:07] : Display manager [00:07] Yeah that would make sense [00:11] Ok what was that command you wanted me to try? [00:12] anyone know where i can find the system requirements for kubuntu 16 [00:13] : When you come to the black screen hold control and alt and tap F1 key [00:13] : Do you get a login prompt? [00:13] Yup [00:13] : Log in [00:14] Done [00:14] : Sudo apt update [00:14] Done [00:15] : Are the archives definitely Xenial? [00:15] Yup [00:15] : Sudo apt upgrade [00:16] Running but the only thing it is updating is chromd [00:16] *chrome [00:16] : Ok [00:16] : Let it finish [00:17] Finished [00:17] : Then sudo apt dist-upgrade [00:17] Nothing got changed... [00:18] Hang on, some packages have been kept back [00:19] did you mean apt-get? [00:19] or is apt an alias? [00:20] : They the same thing [00:20] : Apt is prettier [00:20] Maybe the held back packages are the problem [00:20] good to know, is it new? [00:20] Dear fellow kubuntu users I have upgraded my system from 15.10 to 16.04 and its good. I share my joy with you all. [00:20] : What packages are being held? [00:21] : Anything like sddm or video related? [00:21] Kernel stuff it seems [00:21] : Can it be fixed? [00:22] Probably [00:22] : Does apt offer a solution [00:22] Isnt there a command line package manager to hold packages [00:23] : You shouldn't be holding packages [00:23] I forget what it was called [00:24] ok, I'm about to reboot [00:24] see ya on the other side [00:25] : You want the latest Xenial packages [00:25] Ok [00:26] I just need to figure out how to unhold packages [00:26] : When that's done reconfigure sddm [00:26] : dpkg-reconfigure sddm [00:27] : It doesn't ask you to accept a solution? [00:27] I dunno [00:28] Can you quickly google how to unhold packages from the command line? I dont have any device to do that on at the momen [00:28] : It usually asks you a question [00:28] A question when i put in which command? [00:29] well, that was scary - no splash screen, just monitors going on an off for a minute... but finally I'm back! [00:30] : The dist-upgrade [00:31] : Does it not ask you to accept a solution [00:31] No [00:31] Is there any way to change the font size of the clock in the bottom right corner? [00:31] thanks everyone for the support [00:31] good luck tuxdude143 [00:31] It says the packages have been held back but that is it [00:32] : You can unhold packages by [00:32] : sudo apt-mark unhold package_name [00:34] Bingo. Its listing the 4.4 kernel as new packages to install [00:34] Updating noa [00:34] *now [00:37] Attempting a reboot [00:37] : Hold on [00:37] : Try reconf sddm [00:37] Oh right [00:38] : Also do another apt update [00:38] : And apt dist-upgrade [00:38] Doing that now [00:39] Done [00:39] : Any warnings or errors? [00:39] Nope [00:40] : Now do sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm [00:40] Done [00:40] : And sudo reboot [00:41] : I'm gonna have to go to bed [00:41] : So hopefully this works [00:43] Nope [00:43] Nothing still [00:44] : Can you ask in devel [00:45] : About black screen and sddm not starting [00:46] Gotcha [00:57] is it normal that the breeze icons in dolphin for folders turned yellow-golden [00:57] and yellow creeped in as a color in general after updating? [01:17] Anyone had any luck installing 16.04 under VMware Workstation? The Plasma constantly crashes on the live/install ISO [01:18] telegram1: hi [01:43] Here [01:44] oops [01:44] tuxdude143: hi [01:44] tuxdude143: lets proceed here [01:44] Hi. I upgraded from 15.10 [01:45] tuxdude143: have any graphics card installed? [01:45] Yes. It worked fine on 15.10 without,drivers [01:45] tuxdude143: brand? [01:45] The issue is the updater for 16.04 backfired somewhere [01:46] So it isnt to do with the gpu [01:46] nvidia? [01:46] Intel [01:46] you installed the driver from their website? [01:46] It isnt the gpu that is having a problem though [01:47] tuxdude143: lets not assume that for now [01:47] The updater for going from 15.10 to 16.04 aborted near the end [01:47] And i think it broke a package [01:47] ok [01:48] tuxdude143: how did you update? [01:48] using terminal or gui? [01:48] Gui doesnt start [01:49] no where did you start the update from konsole ? tty? muon? [01:49] The update manager. So muon i guess [01:50] tuxdude143: it showed a notification that you need to restart and you restarted? isn't it? [01:51] Well at 99% the updater threw an error at me [01:52] Saying something might have gone wrong. [01:52] Cant remember exactly what it said [01:52] tuxdude143: are you able to access a tty? [01:52] Yes [01:52] Im in it now [01:53] tuxdude143: run "sudo lsb_release -a" [01:53] tuxdude143: tell me what it says [01:54] No LSB modules are avaliable. Description ubuntu 16.04 release 16.04 [01:54] kubuntu 16.04 chrome youtube doesn't play videos error message says restart the device anyone know how to fix? [01:55] viewer|86825: what do you see in "chrome://gpu" ? [01:55] tuxdude143: have you backuped your data? [01:56] I can access my drive from the windows side of my machine [01:57] So thats as close as I can get to backing up [01:57] tuxdude143: ok [01:57] tuxdude143: can you run a command and paste the output here? [01:58] Eh, ill have to simplify it [01:58] Because im on my phone [01:58] what [01:59] just tried the upgrade to 16.04 when it was around 95% running post installation it gave an error about mysql could not upgrade due to dependency problems it said my system would run a restore because its in an unusable state [01:59] tuxdude143: I need to see the dpkg log [01:59] tuxdude143: "cd /var/log" [02:00] * ildefonso notices nested virtualization is not nearly as slow as he thought it would be :D [02:01] I cant copy the whole thing from just the command line. Ill have to reboot into windows and pastebin it [02:01] the restore never happened...is there a way to trigger the restore manually? [02:01] murthy: https://paste.kde.org/pnzdvhgzr [02:02] Do you just want the contents of the log file murthy? [02:03] tuxdude143: there is a file called dpkg.log in /var/log folder, i want that [02:05] viewer|86825: hardware acceleration seems good. have you restarted the system after upgrade? [02:05] Ok got it [02:14] Here you go murthy https://mega.nz/#!GJxyWLxR!uQvtfIaHMAu1BFpu9J4swPXfPQrrLOaPc7N9m86cD0Q [02:14] checking [02:15] tuxdude143: I need to take a break, i will be back in 15 mins [02:16] Upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04...it failed so I ran apt -f install and that failed with this error http://pastebin.com/NRA3R8LW can anyone help out? [02:16] Ok, thanks for the help [02:32] tuxdude143: i am looking at the dpkg.log file [02:33] tuxdude143: have you used the system file checker(sfc) in windows? the sfc /scannow command? [02:34] Recently? [02:34] I think so [02:35] tuxdude143: there is something like that for ubuntu [02:35] I see [02:35] tuxdude143: its called debsums [02:36] tuxdude143: i will give you the correct command [02:36] tuxdude143: it will check the system for broken/corrupt packages and tell you === fabius is now known as eXtribor [02:38] tuxdude143: "sudo debsums -s" [02:38] tuxdude143: run the above command and wait till it finishes [02:42] Ok, gotcha [02:44] Debsums gives me a command not found [02:45] Gimme a sec [02:45] tuxdude143: you need to install debsums [02:45] Yeah i figured that out [02:48] Installed running now [02:51] Finished [02:55] What now? [02:59] tuxdude143: did you run this command "sudo debsums -s" [03:00] Yes [03:00] tuxdude143: debsums finished? [03:00] Yes [03:00] tuxdude143: see any error? [03:00] It said it changed a file and thats it [03:06] tuxdude143: how many files? [03:06] Just one [03:06] Changelog.debian.gz [03:13] tuxdude143: i am still analyzing your dpkg.log [03:13] Ok [03:24] tuxdude143: "sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop" [03:24] tuxdude143: try the above command [03:24] Done [03:24] tuxdude143: it most probably wont work [03:25] anything? [03:25] It unpacked and set up [03:26] Guess ill reboot then [03:27] tuxdude143: just now i remembered something [03:27] Oh? [03:28] tuxdude143: "sudo apt-get -f install" [03:28] tuxdude143: try the above command [03:29] Nothing was changed [03:30] tuxdude143: ok, lets troubleshoot [03:31] tuxdude143:"cd /var/log" [03:31] tuxdude143: there you will have log files [03:31] Ok [03:31] tuxdude143: there are two log files that can be helpful now [03:31] tuxdude143: one is the xorg.log [03:32] Ok [03:32] tuxdude143: Xorg.0.log [03:33] And the other file? [03:33] sddm.log [03:33] tuxdude143: can you get those logs? [03:33] Ok, let me reboot into windows to get them for you [03:34] tuxdude143: wait [03:34] tuxdude143: are you there? [03:34] Im in linux atm [03:34] tuxdude143: good [03:34] In the command prompt [03:34] Aka terminal [03:34] tuxdude143: can you try one command before booting to windows [03:34] Sure [03:35] tuxdude143: you are in your home directory right? [03:35] Yes [03:35] example /home/user [03:35] I am [03:35] "ls -l" [03:35] Done [03:36] tuxdude143: can you see a file ".Xauthority" [03:36] No [03:37] tuxdude143: sorry [03:38] tuxdude143: "ls -a" [03:38] tuxdude143: use that command [03:38] Ah yes i can [03:38] "rm .Xauthority" [03:38] tuxdude143: "ls -a" [03:38] can you see the file now? [03:39] No [03:39] tuxdude143: ok now try rebooting and see if you are able to login [03:47] Nothing [03:50] tuxdude143: ok, get the two logs [03:50] Xorg.0.log sddm.log [04:09] I will be back in 10 mins [04:18] tuxdude143: are you there? [04:19] Yes [04:19] tuxdude143: the logs? [04:20] Uploading now [04:20] tuxdude143: dont log out of the windows [04:20] I'm not going to [04:21] are you using ext-fs to access ext4 partition on windows? [04:22] https://mega.nz/#F!uQonzYIA!AdVdCc-bzPeNYSSaT_S8Yg [04:22] Yes [04:25] tuxdude143: https://paste.kde.org/pbwa3z7xy [04:26] Holy moley that's a lot of stuff to type out [04:27] tuxdude143: copy the text in the above link starting from "sudo apt-get" till "xdg-utils" and put it in a file and save it as install.sh [04:27] Oh I can do that? [04:27] tuxdude143: you are on windows right? [04:28] Yes [04:28] tuxdude143: after that you need to copy that file to the linux home directory [04:28] you could do that by using a pen drive [04:29] copy the install.sh to the pendrive and then go to linux and mount the pendrive from command line [04:29] then copy the install.sh file from the pendrive to the home directory [04:29] tuxdude143: do you know how to mount the pendrive? [04:35] tuxdude143: did you install any drivers using driver manager? === jhunold is now known as jayhunold [04:40] No [04:41] Don't worry. I got the file in the home directory now [04:43] tuxdude143: the install.sh file? [04:44] yeah, gonna try running it [04:45] tuxdude143: do you know how to make it a executable? [04:46] Make install right? [04:46] tuxdude143: no [04:46] tuxdude143: sudo chmod u+x install.sh [04:47] Ah [04:47] Now what? [04:48] How do i edit a file in the command prompt? [04:48] tuxdude143: dude you copied the file and didn't type, right? [04:48] I copied the file in windows [04:49] And then just chmoded it in linux [04:49] tuxdude143: you selected the option to write in extfs? [04:49] Yes [04:50] tuxdude143: notepad for terminal is nano [04:51] tuxdude143: you have learn the shortcuts to perform actions [04:51] tuxdude143: in nano [04:52] I see [04:57] Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock [04:58] Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages [05:11] tuxdude143: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" === yann is now known as Guest13419 === Guest68833 is now known as kat_xy [07:20] hello everyone. I have a question but It sound crazy at first glance but It's just experimental. Can I disable Apt package manager and install PiSi package manager? [07:23] HI [07:23] how are the first impressions of 16.04? [07:23] Ist the installation going smooth? [07:27] Anyone else having issues with 16.04? [07:28] I had issues upgrading mysql, due to configuration option renaming in 5.7 [07:28] Same here [07:28] Now I don't even get a desktop [07:28] Starts won't work [07:29] Krunner keeps crashing. [07:29] I can't do anything [07:29] I can't afford to lose my stuff [07:29] have u upgraded or did u a fresh installation? [07:29] ah.. [07:29] I did wake up to a couple plasma crash dialogs, but it's an improvement - with 15.10 I'd usually get 20 of them overnight [07:29] I intend to make a new installation [07:29] Upgraded [07:30] ok [07:30] Any idea how to fix? [07:30] 15.10 was the most unusable desktop I've had since dapper [07:30] unfortunately not [07:30] I can't even get past the login screen now [07:30] Same amichair [07:30] here's hoping that something got fixed in 16.04, and not many new bugs introduced [07:31] Khaotic[n10]: so you see sddm and than what ? [07:32] Then I get a bunch of errors and something about no shells being installed [07:33] Khaotic[n10]: just to be sure switch to differnt tty and from command line execute: sudo apt install plasma-desktop & install kubuntu-desktop [07:33] Khaotic[n10]: did you upgrade abort or complete without errors? [07:33] I'll try [07:33] Complete with MySQL upgrade errors [07:35] I get "cannot load system tray" and "all shell packages missing" [07:35] Khaotic[n10]: so you should fix those. go to tty (ctrl-alt-f1), login, and run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" for starters, that will retry any half-installed packages [07:35] Ok [07:36] Well my screen just went blank and I can't do anything [07:36] Khaotic[n10]: when you switch to tty it should go mostly blank - it enters a kind of text mode, but you should see a login prompt at the top left corner [07:37] Khaotic[n10]: if you have multiple monitors, make sure they're all on. I've had it show up sometimes on a turned-off TV. [07:37] Yeah I know [07:38] you can also try ctrl-alt-f2 etc. ctrl-alt-f7 should get you back to the GUI mode. [07:38] can you get konsole open in the GUI, or is it blank too? [07:38] I don't even get a gui [07:39] I'm stuck at login screen of sddm [07:39] you see a login prompt? [07:39] Yes [07:39] but not in all ttys? [07:39] Kubtunu-desktop and plasma-desktop both are installed [07:40] I also ran dpkg --configure -a [07:40] Khaotic[n10]: oh, so you do have access to the terminal? [07:40] Yes I have access to the ttys [07:40] oh ok [07:40] next try "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [07:40] that should complete the installation if anything didn't get installed [07:41] OK 1 sec [07:41] Hello all - wanting to ask if there is some roadmap when we get newest kde plasma on 16.04? [07:42] amichair: nothing [07:42] ng_kub: nope, probably first infrastructure has to be migrated to lunchpad again [07:43] So - anyone tested the upgrade from 15.10 ? How did it go ? [07:43] ng_kub: but maybe devs decide to do backports first - not sure about that [07:43] Smurphy: don't do it [07:43] Khaotic[n10]: ok, so it seems the installation did complete ok as far as package upgrades [07:43] Yeah [07:43] Krunner. Rashes as soon as I log in [07:43] Crashes [07:43] usually, when I upgrade kubuntu - I use the CLI mode. [07:44] And I get "cannot load system tray" [07:44] Please try how things work on new user account after you upgrade ;) [07:44]
