BluesKajHi  ducasse09:03
OerHeksHi guys09:04
ducassequiet today, mainly a lot of people asking if 16.10 is out09:04
BluesKajof course, it's the usual09:05
OerHeksquiet is good.09:05
ducasseOerHeks: +1 on that09:05

daftykinso013:37
xcynot sure if I'm in the wrong place, but I'm just wondering when 16.10 is going to be released?14:44
daftykinsyes you're in the wrong place14:45
daftykinsi already see images up, not sure why the site hasn't changed14:45
* OerHeks is seeding iso's already14:46
xcyfound the .torrent... thanks14:52
daftykinsxcy: bear in mind life is better on LTS releases though.14:55
xcyhow is it better?14:59
daftykinssupported longer, because as the name implies it's a Long Term Support release.15:00
ducassea do-release-upgrade every 6 months is the perfect tempo for me, personally15:02
naccducasse: ack, it's good for many; but also bad for many more (IMO), based upon the number of people that come into #ubuntu saying -- why can't i upgrade my EOL version :)15:03
daftykinsi think people try to claim upgrades go well, but i don't believe in them whatsoever, i bring up machines in parallel with a clean install then migrate their tasks over once they're confirmed working15:05
ducassenacc: absolutely, and i fully get that. that tempo is also one of the main reasons i use ubuntu instead of something else.15:06
xcyI'm not running this on a server...15:06
naccdaftykins: it all depends, which is probably the biggest issue. I have one box i've upgraded since 8.04 to current15:06
xcyI've been using Ubuntu since 8.04.15:06
daftykinsnacc: sounds horrible15:07
naccdaftykins: well, I imagine it would be; except I rarely (maybe only at the very beginning, when I didn't know as well and upgraded too early) had any issues15:07
ducassei kind of hope this upgrade fails, as i'm curious how well btrfs snapshot rollback works :)15:26
OerHekswhy would it fail ? ow btrfs, not zfs?15:29
ducasseOerHeks: i was just joking :) why btrfs? because zfs is not supported for /, and this desktop is non-critical for me.15:31

daftykinsall the cool kids use LTS ;)16:57
lotuspsychjethey sure do :p16:58

daftykins < imexil> Hi, just tried to run upgrade to 16.10 and I'm getting "Your python install is corrupted. Please fix17:04
daftykins                the '/usr/bin/python' symlink." from the update-manager. I've already tried "apt install --reinstall17:04
daftykins                python" (and python3) but nothing helped. Any other suggestions?17:04
daftykinsfirst victim17:04

daftykinsooh that's an amusing title17:34
lotuspsychjeheh17:35
daftykinsKrita o0 not heard of that one17:35
lotuspsychje!info krita17:35
ubot5krita (source: calligra): pixel-based image manipulation program for the Calligra Suite. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.9.7-0ubuntu12 (xenial), package size 7975 kB, installed size 31997 kB17:35
lotuspsychjealso as a snap17:36
lotuspsychjewelcome17:38
MkllHi.17:38
lotuspsychjeMkll: wich issue did you hear about mint?17:38
MkllThat it was insecure compared to other distros based on Debian17:38
Mkllor Ubuntu.17:38
lotuspsychjeMkll: there were recently mint iso's hacked so i read17:39
daftykinsyep17:40
MkllThat problem has been solved already, but people are still quick to disregard Mint as a viable choice because they "hold critical security updates"17:40
daftykinsthere's just no point running Mint.17:40
lotuspsychjeMkll: i wouldnt touch mint neither17:42
lotuspsychjebut many swear by it...thats the people's choice of freedom right17:42
MkllBut Mint uses Ubuntu for its updates and repos, so isn't it just as safe as Ubuntu spins17:42
lotuspsychjeMkll: best case is to test distro's yourself and compare what you like best?17:42
daftykinsMkll: no17:44
daftykinsMint holds back security updates17:44
MkllCouldn't I use apt?17:44
daftykinsfor what...17:45
daftykinsjust don' run Mint, it's simple17:45
lotuspsychjeMkll: vanilla ubuntu rescued many users life indeed :p17:50
lotuspsychjeMkll: your in the ubuntu channels, so we strongly advice ubuntu17:50
MkllWell anyway17:51
daftykinsyou won't get very good community help with Mint17:51
Mkllis Xubuntu or Ubuntu Mate lighter.17:51
MkllWhich one is lighter*17:51
daftykinsabout the same i think17:51
ducasseMkll: one reason some of us dislike mint is because they provide poor support (compared to ubuntu), so their users often use ubuntu channels. which is problematic, as mint changes things.17:51
MkllI install Lubuntu on netbooks, but I want to choose something lighter then Unity and prettier then LXDE for a main OS.17:52
daftykinsare you honestly talking about netbooks even now?17:52
daftykinsbecause nothing will run well on them, they need to be retired.17:52
MkllWhen I say netbooks, I also include older laptops from 2003.17:52
lotuspsychjeMkll: try lubuntu 16.04, works like a charm17:53
daxXubuntu17:53
daftykinsit has to be a netbook to be called a netbook ;)17:53
lotuspsychjedax: can you change !unity8 trigger to 16.10 now instead of the lxc test method?18:01
dax!unity818:03
ubot5Unity8 is the next Unity Desktop running on Mir. It is already used on the smartphones running ubuntu-touch (!touch) and can be tested on the Desktop with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8inLXC18:03
daxlotuspsychje: just changing "with https://whatever" to "in 16.10"?18:03
lotuspsychjedax: unity8 should be default now in 16.10 at login18:04
ducasseno, it's not.18:04
lotuspsychjebut not yet ready18:04
lotuspsychjeducasse: howso?18:04
lotuspsychjei mean default to test?18:05
ducassenot the default session, if that was what you meant.18:05
lotuspsychjeyes your right18:05
lotuspsychjebut you can choose it right?18:05
lotuspsychjeno extra things to install to login unity818:06
ducassei think so, but i haven't installed from the desktop images in a long time tbh18:06
lotuspsychjedax: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/10/unity-8-desktop-session-ubuntu-161018:07
daxso the change I said above works?18:07
lotuspsychjedax: yes on desktop 16.1018:08
