| igor_ | Hi, I need to replace XP with Lubuntu on a very old pc with a 1GB of ram. It's working fine, but it is randomly freezing with a lines on the screen. Then, I need to restart whole PC. Can someone help me with that? | 09:48 |

| james1138 | Hello all. Can I ask for help? For some unknown reason - when I go into Synaptic Package Manager and click on "Repositories" - nothing happens. | 16:38 |
| wxl | james1138: do you have problems using apt-get? | 16:44 |
| james1138 | nope | 16:47 |
| wxl | james1138: so you can update/upgrade just fine? | 16:47 |
| james1138 | Yes wxl. The only thing I can think maybe the problem was installing ICECAT browser... which may added Trisquel PPA/dependiences. | 16:48 |
| wxl | james1138: which synaptics should have no problem with. you might try reinstalling it | 16:51 |
| wxl | james1138: the other thing you can try to do is to run synaptic on the command line and see if it gives you any more obvious errors | 16:52 |
| james1138 | Starting Synaptic is no problem - just seeing the repositories or adding new PPA appears the issue. | 16:53 |
| wxl | james1138: that's what i'm saying to diagnose. any program run on the command line should give you additional output for debugging purposezx | 16:53 |
| wxl | s/zx/s | 16:53 |

| wxl | ok | 16:58 |
| wxl | got it :) | 16:58 |
| james1138 | There is a little more... | 16:58 |
| wxl | don't worry about it | 16:58 |
| james1138 | ok... sorry | 16:59 |
| wxl | fyi: | 16:59 |
| wxl | !pastebin | 16:59 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 16:59 |
| wxl | use that to do `stat /etc/apt/sources.list` | 16:59 |
| james1138 | ahhh | 16:59 |
| james1138 | Me rookie... <frown> | 17:00 |
| wxl | all good | 17:00 |
| james1138 | <crossing fingers and toes> I hope the answer does not involved backup and resintall everything. | 17:04 |
| wxl | it shouldn't | 17:04 |
| wxl | james1138: you got that pastebin for me? | 17:13 |
| james1138 | Oh... sorry. stepped away... working on it right now... | 17:14 |
| wxl | np take your time. just wanted to make sure you weren't forgotten :) | 17:14 |
| james1138 | Done. It is asking "download as text" - is that for me or you? | 17:15 |
| wxl | james1138: um. all i was saying is copy the result of `stat /etc/apt/sources.list` and paste them into pastebin and then put the url here | 17:16 |
| james1138 | stat: cannot stat ‘/etc/apt/sources.list’: No such file or directory | 17:17 |
| wxl | oh! | 17:17 |
| wxl | THAT is a problem | 17:17 |
| wxl | it means that your repos are gone | 17:17 |
| wxl | what version are you running? | 17:17 |
| james1138 | 14.04.4 kernal 4.5.2 | 17:18 |
| wxl | k lemme see what i can figure out here | 17:18 |
| james1138 | Gone?! This old dog messed up big time! | 17:19 |
| wxl | hm | 17:20 |
| wxl | i have a theory | 17:20 |
| james1138 | Anyway to rebuild file? | 17:20 |
| wxl | first, create the file with `sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list` | 17:20 |
| wxl | then reinstall apt with `sudo apt-get --reinstall install apt` | 17:21 |
| wxl | then look to see if there's anything in /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:21 |
| wxl | you should have default stuff in there | 17:21 |
| james1138 | Reinstallation of apt is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. | 17:22 |
| wxl | ok | 17:22 |
| wxl | let's try one other thing | 17:22 |
| wxl | `sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt` | 17:23 |
| james1138 | File is there but empty | 17:23 |
| james1138 | Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu6.8) ... | 17:23 |
| james1138 | james1138@james1138-ThinkPad-T43:~$ | 17:25 |
| wxl | k | 17:25 |
| wxl | now is there anything in the file? | 17:25 |
| wxl | if not, i have another solution. you should have a saved version of it. this should fix it: `sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.save /etc/apt/sources.list` | 17:27 |
| james1138 | Sources.lst file is still empty but sources.d folder has stuff in it. | 17:27 |
| james1138 | cp: cannot stat ‘/etc/apt/sources.list.save’: No such file or directory | 17:28 |
| wxl | oh jeez what did you do :) | 17:28 |
| wxl | there's also this idea: http://askubuntu.com/a/192388 | 17:29 |
| james1138 | Giving that a try | 17:32 |
| james1138 | Still nothing but Y PPA Manager is showing repositories | 17:47 |
