[02:57] yeah it's been weeks now :) [02:57] Bashing-om: hehe thanks sir! [02:59] lot of the fun ( and confidence) has departed the channel with your departure :( [02:59] !final [02:59] If you install a development version of Ubuntu Xenial and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 16.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade » in a terminal. [02:59] grrr doesnt work [03:00] upgrading didn't get you onto current? [03:01] says 0 to upgrade [03:01] and last update was before final release hmmz [03:03] perhaps daily was already almost a final? [03:03] could this be? [03:04] sudo sed -i "s/xenial/devel/g" /etc/apt/sources.list && echo "Yakkety!" [03:04] :P [03:06] lotuspsychje: did you apt update? [03:06] tsimonq2: yes [03:06] tsimonq2: still 0 to upgrade [03:06] lsb_release -a? [03:07] mine has: [03:07] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [03:07] Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS [03:07] Release: 16.04 [03:07] Codename: xenial [03:07] Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS [03:07] yep [03:07] devel gone [03:07] hmm [03:07] you do apt dist-upgrade?

[03:56] sam_yan: Ask in the #ubuntu channel . [05:10] laterzz [06:38] I have an odd question, but why it takes several monthes to introduce a new version of ubuntu and only major upgrade is supporting several new hardware and unity's ability to go to bottom? I am upgrading from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 and I literally see no difference and improvement in my work. by the way, I am just a programmer. [06:39] Someone told me whole software collection has been changed. but what was wrong before ? [06:40] what would you expect to change? [06:40] Ben64: Yes, good question, if you mean they have fixed bugs, is it really necessary to introduce a new major version ? [06:41] the releases are on a set schedule, it doesn't require a big change to get a new version [06:42] and while the software you use may not have changed much, there is plenty of software that did [06:45] Ben64: I am not a windows guy, but when I compare new version windows, I see there are a lot of difference between windows 10 and windows 8.1. and now because they are going to fix just bugs and no major changes, they won't release a new major version during the next decade. I hope you understand what I mean. [06:46] dax: So is it necessary to upgrade to the new ubuntu? can't we get just new version of those softwares ? [06:46] no, because Ubuntu doesn't upgrade packages (with some exceptions) to new major releases after an Ubuntu version is released [06:47] under the theory that adding more bugs is bad, and creating a moving target does that [06:47] and everything in a given Ubuntu version is tested together [06:47] !latest [06:47] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [06:48] also, while i'm throwing reasons out there, it is not feasible to perpetually backport security upgrades for old versions of software. ubuntu releases go EOL so that only a certain number of releases are being maintained at once [06:48] I have to admit, if I hadn't tried to connect an A2DP headphone to my wife's Windows laptop last week, I'd be much more irritated with 16.04 ;) [06:49] dax: I think I am understanding finally. [06:49] so basically, the thought process goes: 1) do you have release "checkpoints" like Ubuntu or just upgrade packages as they come out like Arch/Gentoo. Ubuntu picks the former; the latter is a moving target of new bugs and a pain for some use cases. 2) If you're going to do release checkpoints, how often and how many are you going to support at once? Ubuntu does every 6 months, and EOLs to only support a [06:49] finite number. [06:50] If it turns out you don't like checkpoints and want to upgrade packages as they come out, use a rolling release distro like Arch or Gentoo, I guess :) [06:51] dax: So maybe at the moment someone is using ubuntu 8.04 and happy with that ? [06:52] !8.04 [06:52] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support ended on May 9th 2013. See http://ubottu.com/y/hardy for more details. [06:52] It hasn't been supported (has been EOL) for 3 years, so it hasn't gotten security updates in that time. Regardless of if they're happy with it, they should not be using it. [06:52] assuming it's running on something that gets external threats, i.e. anything with an internet connection or multiple untrusted users [06:53] i.e. 99% of devices [06:53] and again, it's not supported because it's not feasible to support *everything* going back forever [06:55] dax: oh, I have just finished installing ubuntu 16.04. but I had not any problem with 14.04. I really don't know why I did that though. hmm. Maybe I like to use the latest version always. [06:55] dax: thanks for your explanation. [06:55] dax: I learnt a lot . [07:00] dax: just another question, since as Ben64 said releases are on a schedule, they need to release a new version on time. So there is a possiblity that they realease a new version without any changes right? ( I know they won't do that though :) ) and usually a new version includes security improvements rather than UI or software changes? am I right ? [07:01] newer versions of software [07:01] security patches go to every supported version [07:02] Elec_A: if the entire Free Software community went on strike for six months, I guess there would indeed be no changes [07:02] Elec_A: new versions include all sorts of changes, which you may or may not encounter depending on what software you use [07:02] after release, as ubot5` said earlier, you will get security updates and may get minor feature updates without changing ubuntu version [07:03] dax: Ok. Got it. It is clear now for me. I was confused at first. [07:03] which is broadly similar to Windows before Win10 was (ignoring service packs) [07:03] Thank you. [07:03] to what* [10:40] Hi looking for some help when trying to build a server from a mirror that has been signed by a key not in the default keyring? [10:41] !server [10:41] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide - Support in #ubuntu-server [10:42] dax: current lts version 16.04? ^ [10:43] zebs: use apt-key adv --keyserver --recv " to add the key [10:44] I have manged to overwrite the initial keyring file with a preseed early_command but when it gets to the in-target part of the install it is using a new keyring file and wondered if anyone had manged to get round this? [10:45] i have used the apt-key command in the late_command section so the key is available once the system boots. [10:45] zebs: are you using debootstrap? [10:46] the install is yes [10:46] right, and you're using --second-stage ? [10:47] not sure where would that be specified [10:47] not sure where would that be specified? [10:49] well, with debootstrap if you're building for a different arch (say i386 on an amd64 host, or maybe armhf) debootstrap has to run in 2 stages. In that case there is an issue when second-stage is started where the keyring may need preinstalling [10:52] i can see in the that debpootstrap installs the ubuntu-keyring package and then sets it up and then base-installer connects to the repos which are signed with the new key. Aafter that it fails to authenticate the packages. I suppose I need to over write or import the missing key. [10:54] but I cant workout how I would go about that at this stage of the install [10:54] in my 2-stage build scripts I pre-install using the command: [10:54] ${R_SUDO} dpkg-deb --extract ${R_TARGET}/var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntu-keyring*.deb ${R_TARGET} [10:54] that runs after the first stage (package download) and before second-stage (entry into the chroot) [10:55] ok how do you implement the 2 stage build? [10:56] I think your issue is slightly different in that you've a repo whose package lists are signed by a different key entirely, so you'd at that point need to unpack the ubuntu-keyring *and* "chroot /target apt-key adv --keyring ... --recv " too [10:57] zebs: see "man deboostrap" - to stop after 1st stage use "debootstrap --foreign ...", do your keyring install + custom key import, then "debootstrap --second-stage ..." [11:00] ok would I implement that in the pxe append line? [11:01] or in the preseed file? [11:02] zebs: not sure how you'd do it via preseed, not sure if there's a hook to interfere with the deboostrap stage. I thought you were using debootstrap under manual control [11:02] my fault sorry. [11:03] no it is from a pxe boot using a pressed file. [11:03] I'm sure preseed supports a custom key option [11:06] zebs: i'd guess you'd simply do this: create a .deb package in your custom mirror with your keyring, and then use the preseed to specify that package to be added to the installation early on [11:08] ok I thanks that might be the only option. [11:30] hey BluesKaj [11:30] Howdy all [11:30] Hi lotuspsychje [11:30] BluesKaj: your on final? [11:31] yes, but haven't received any upgrades since wed [11:31] BluesKaj: me neither... [11:31] tried everything in the book [11:31] 0 to upgrade lol [11:31] BluesKaj: so that means we had final, before final went out?

[15:35] or dd? [15:36] the this old pc has a dvdrom [15:36] ah kk [15:37] the kubuntu sources are very busy judging by the DL speed [15:38] i bet xenial gets leeched hard [15:43] hey EriC^^ [15:43] hey lotuspsychje [15:45] 50 discussers :p [15:46] wow, the 16.04 DL failed even wirth wget [15:46] wowz [15:46] guess I'll wait for a few days [15:50] i'd torrent it during the peak days [15:50] !torrents [15:50] Xenial can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/xenial/desktop/ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/xenial/server/ubuntu-16.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 [15:50] torrent totally stalled out [15:50] ouch [15:51] wget restarted [15:51] BluesKaj: want me to dcc send you something? [15:51] i download at 50mbit here [15:51] think it's ok now the speed is much better [15:52] kk [15:53] I only havs adsl , the cable co has much faster speeds, but they're too expensive [15:57] if I decide to cut the cord on my sattv service then I might switch to cable 50Mb. That will keep my entertainment and communications cost about the same as I pay totally now [15:58] but sat is also pretty nice :p [15:58] hey davidcalle [15:58] davido_: [15:58] howdy. [15:58] but it's pita to switch ...new modem etc etc [15:58] hi davido_ [15:58] So it appears that network manager doesn't recognize the openconnect plugin under Ubuntu 16.04. [15:58] BluesKaj: yeah always new modems/routers cost when switch [15:59] davido_: whats the result of that? [15:59] Not looking for support (because a bug is a bug... nothing to support... plus I can connect to the vpn using the shell), just a word of caution. [15:59] i placed a network-manager bug for xenial also [15:59] Well on a system that previously had the vpn connection set up through NM, you can attempt login, but it will fail. If you attempt to edit the connection, that will fail with a complaint that some file is missing. [16:00] when you say openconnect, is that openvpn or something else? [16:00] And if you attempt to add an openconnect vpn connection through network manager, openconnect will not appear in the dropdown of available vpn protocols. [16:00] something else. [16:00] It's an open source version of AnyConnect. [16:01] not heard of that one :D [16:01] * lotuspsychje neither [16:01] yeah, it's probably not terribly popular, but it's the setup my organization decided to use. [16:02] davido_: file a new bug? [16:02] i did. [16:02] kk [16:02] :) [16:02] anyway, not a big deal because I can still connect using some shell-foo, bypassing network manager. [16:03] nice [16:03] just a thought but if you upgraded instead of clean install, i'd try it under a clean user for fun [16:03] good idea [16:04] daftykins: On my one remaining 15.10 box, I installed 16.04 in virtualbox, and installed openconnect there. same issue. So that's a clean install. [16:04] ah ok [16:05] i'm not about to do a clean install on my $work-station. :) [16:06] Another issue is that DisplayLink doesn't seem to support anything past 15.10, so my USB3.0 monitor can't be used at the moment until they catch up. [16:06] that's also minor. i rarely use my usb3.0 monitor. [16:08] anyway, back to work. :) [16:08] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1571454 [16:08] Ubuntu bug 1571454 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "Wifi + cable only works after network-manager restart" [High,Confirmed] [16:10] didnt happen few days... [16:10] I have a tp-link wdr3600 router and tp-link low coat modem , so replcoing the modem is no big loss [16:12] davido_, yeah, openvpn here wouldn't connect until I restarted the network-manager [16:13] It's all worthwhile just so I can move the launcher to the bottom. So sick of it sitting between my monitors. [16:13] hated having to slide my mouse through it to get to the next monitor to the left. [16:16] I have just one monitor, but it's our TV. I'm a retired home user [16:22] My work is on a laptop with two 27" monitors attached. [16:42] just as i expected, alot of wily to xenial nightmare upgrades again... [16:45] :D [16:45] someone was whinging over in #kodi last night about their upgrade going awry, i still don't believe in upgrades on any OS [16:46] why cross your fingers and hope when you can backup and put the effort into a nice clean install where you inherit no backward steps [16:49] i've done it with debian because upgrades for it have always been rock solid for me. Windows, Ubuntu, etc. though? clean install all the way [16:50] indeed [16:50] and users are so good to mess up their systems first, ppa's, manual installs..then want the upgrade to go flawless [16:52] I just upgarded from a dailyXenial clean install , but I have a new backup image on a dvd just in case [16:53] !yay [16:53] Glad you made it! :-) [16:58] bbl [17:12] O__O ALREADY?
