[11:03] !upgrade [11:03] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [11:03] OerHeks I know, but I even used do-release-upgrade on DO [11:04] Same result [11:04] Guys ... how yo make a full backup of linux system and just reinstall it at full data loss ? Modo ? [11:04] Mondo * [11:05] elcore_el, for server, you should have edited /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set “Prompt=LTS” to “Prompt=normal” (without quotes) [11:05] I have done it [11:05] I know how to upgrade a server!!! [11:05] elcore_el: When you're getting this error ? [11:06] WHen you're starting or what ? [11:06] V7 dd the disk or use a gui tool like clonezilla? [11:06] rebooting the server [11:06] [FAILED] Failed to start Journal Service. [11:06] See 'systemctl status systemd-journald.service' for details. [11:06] [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Flush Journal to Persistent Storage. [11:06] OerHeks: And then I just can burn ISO and isntall it to the disk ? Am I right ? [11:07] V7: no, you write the image back. [11:08] ducasse: hmm .. Like coopy and paste > [11:08] ? [11:08] V7, if the disk fits on an dvd/blueray, sure [11:08] V7: no, you use the same tool as you used to make the image. [11:09] ducasse: I'm booting with this tool and do the job ? [11:10] V7: i don't make images, myself, but i think clonezilla has a bootable image. [11:10] oh, the image is just data, you still need a live-iso [11:10] Roger [11:10] Hello. I updated my system yesterday, today i booted it up and USB doesn't work anymore (so mouse, keyboard...). Any ideas anyone? [11:10] Thank you guys [11:11] ubuntu-gnome_: try booting an older kernel, others have had this issue with the latest kernel. [11:11] how can i do that? [11:12] oh, Ubuntu has dropped support for USB? [11:12] ubuntu-gnome_: hold left shift on boot, and select 'advanced' and an older kernel in the grub menu. [11:12] ok thanks. I'll be back in 2 mins if it doesn't work [11:13] FManTropyx: that particular kernel probably has a bug/config problem. [11:15] can someone highlight my nick i'm testing if it will show a notification on gnome DE :D [11:15] Hi. i was the guy with that USB problem 2 mins ago. works now thanks. But how can i make it boot that permanently? [11:16] msev test [11:16] Gaming4LifeDE: you can just remove the packages with the latest kernel. [11:16] sup, msev-? [11:17] how should it be called? [11:17] cool it works FManTropyx thanks :D [11:17] o/ [11:17] sup sup [11:19] better question: what package should i uninstall so it just removes the latest kernel and how can i make synaptic not ask to update to it again? [11:19] hi, it's pretty quiet over on the ubuntu touch channel, so i'll try my luck here. does anyone know how I can lower brightness past the lowest setting? [11:20] sorry to interupt~ [11:21] Gaming4LifeDE: there will probably be a new kernel to fix this om monday, might be better to just choose the kernel manually until then. [11:22] ok thanks. i'll go now. Bye [11:30] So ... correct me if what ... [11:30] I can use as a partition whatever I want for clonezilla ? [11:30] whereever * [11:32] Like ... let's imagine that conezilla live is installed to USB pendrive and backup partition is what ? [11:32] on what * [11:32] installed on ... crap I need to have some English lessons xD [11:33] There is always a backup partition , do you have the USB drive? [11:33] I'm typing faster than I can create a sentence in my mind ... [11:33] kerdaz: Yes ... I have one with 32GB ... I['ve checked that system weights ~10 gigs [11:34] So. .. I need to install cloezilla live to USB pendirve and create a partition on HDD drive with 15 gis ? [11:34] I'm not sure if I can help, but configure your BIOS on the USB Drive, try the test version or install it then check gparted [11:35] kerdaz: I have no problem with installing clonezilla ... I just ask you how to backup data correcly xD [11:36] Let's guess that here on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJKv6NSKMAU men have a /backup folder on his system which could be damaged ... [11:36] So ... can I have this /backup folder on other device or place ? [11:36] Why don't you do a external save? [11:37] kerdaz: What do you mean [11:37] ? [11:38] You want to keep your data safe on the new system or it's something else? ^^ [11:38] I just wanted to say that I fixed my issue myself :) [11:39] The Google says that "If system is on the same hard drive; then backup/restore the partition. If on it's own drive, back/restore the drive." and this is correct, but *where* I can hold this backed up data ? [11:39] elcore_el what was that and feel free to share it with the channel [11:39] elcore_el: Good for you ! I wanted to help you, but you leaved a channel :D [11:39] V7 no my ISP had an issue [11:40] Sorry I have no idea ^^ [11:40] It was the Kernel [11:40] kerdaz: :D === zhongfu_ is now known as zhongfu [11:40] V7: clonezilla creates the backup as files on a file system [11:40] akik ... only like this ? [11:40] V7 I used 4.5.7, but Ubuntu 16.10 needs 4.8 to work [11:41] V7: there could also be a partition to partition copy, but i don't remember [11:41] akik: roger [11:41] elcore_el: :) [11:41] V7 to be precise systemd === Alleanza is now known as primeNumbers === primeNumbers is now known as Alleanza [11:58] Is it possible to remote a package that another package depends on, but keep the parent package still installed? A kind of pinning? [12:00] s/remote/remove/ [12:04] please don't do this? [12:06] <\9> sveinse: that goes against the very nature of apt. why on earth would you do that? [12:07] Hello, how to rscure a broken x? I mistakenly remove /var, now x not work [12:08] \9: The use case is ubuntus overall meta packages that serves to collect a standard set of packages. Yet some specific package/service might not be used on this machine, and this it is explicitly unneeded, but you'd want to have the top-level meta installed to pick up any other packages under its umbrella. [12:09] <\9> sveinse: if you install the meta package, you get all the other packages it provides [12:09] <\9> sveinse: so you'll need to manually install the packages you want [12:09] Otherwise I'd have to script what package the meta package depends on and install them manually minus the ones I don't want === anon is now known as Guest436 [12:10] which is tedious, so I wonder if dpkg or apt has mechanisms for this [12:10] sounds like you just discovered what you want [12:10] <\9> you can use "apt-cache show " to show the dependencies [12:10] or apt depends [foo] [12:11] <\9> apt-cache can be used to make a script, though [12:11] yep, but I need to run that script every time a update is made to pick up any changes to its dependencies [12:12] <\9> sveinse: why are you so interested in those dependencies being installed automatically? you already want to exert control over which packages you want installed [12:14] \9: The specific case is ubuntu-server depending on mdadm, which I don't want to have installed as the machine is running NAS, but it creates warnings all the time since mdadm is unused. OTOTH I'd like to have ubuntu-server installed, as I prefer having few top-level packages to determine what packages are installed, and the ubuntu-server package is very convenient, except mdadm [12:14] Hey, my Xubuntu doesn´t start anymore. I fiddled around with GRUB and partitions to convert mit xubuntu from BIOS to UEFI booting. Boot-repair and Rescatux seem to have problems to fix it. Here´s a first log of bootinfo http://paste.debian.net/877774/ [12:15] sveinse there's also #ubuntu-server [12:15] MonkeyDust: There is, but this question was not related to #ubuntu-server, its about package exclusion [12:16] sveinse: what warnings do you get? if you don't have a md setup it should just be silent [12:16] akik: W: mdadm: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf defines no arrays. [12:16] I get that too, I ignore it. [12:17] sveinse: if that's all, you can safely ignore it [12:19] hi everyone i just tried the new update and it had some errors system is working fine but how do i do a system check to see the damaged files [12:21] anyone here? [12:22] ... [12:22] yeah [12:22] i dont have a down arrow key [12:22] can i still select install option from the live disc :p [12:22] im too lazy to boot up and see myself [12:23] try the tab key [12:23] ok [12:24] brb let me search [12:26] before you install test it on the system [12:26] make sure that the arrow and keys work first make sure iso is not corrupted ill post the pastebin [12:27] alright [12:27] will do === jelly-home is now known as jelly [12:36] I had a bsod for windows that occured on every boot up. I installed ubuntu and have had no problems untill i chraged my apple ipod mini. A few seconds after I pluged it in, the pc froze and it froze again on me when I restared. [12:39] is vlc on ubuntu and is google chrome always up-to-date on it?? [12:40] anyone succeeded installing ubuntu 16.10 on dell xps 8900 (with GTX960)? [12:40] <\9> !latest |BadMan [12:40] BadMan: 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. [12:40] BadMan: yes and yes(if you let it) [12:40] BadMan: vlc, yes. [12:40] chrome is, vlc might be a few days later [12:40] yes vlc is on ubuntu search synaptic manager also know google chrome is but not sure if its always up to date i would imagine it would be [12:40] i dont mind the vlc not being up to date [12:40] just the google chrome... [12:41] BadMan: you need to download it from google, i think. [12:41] whatever you do just prepare for google alerts everyother day when u sign in [12:41] <\9> yao_ziyuan: are you having problems doing so? [12:41] \9: yes [12:41] <\9> okay so what problems are you having? [12:41] and I know security wise ubuntu is much safer even on the web because the vulnerabilities associated with windows aren't targeted or possible on linux environment and it isn't the norm [12:42] \9: only 15.10 works for me. 16.04 and 16.10 not. [12:42] \9: both 16.04 and 16.10 Live DVDs run into like blank screen on my xps 8900 (i7-6700k, GTX960). it is the video card. [12:43] !nomodeset [12:43] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [12:43] 15.10 has near perfect support for my video card. [12:43] <\9> i have that same processor, but i have a gtx 1060. i haven't run into any problems [12:44] but as 16.10 was released yesterday, my 15.10's support lifecycle had ended and Chrome suddenly said "Adobe Flash Player has expired." [12:44] this Flash Player problem is forcing me to look for a new distro. [12:44] <\9> ... wait, 16.10 was released yesterday? [12:44] \9: yes [12:44] yao_ziyuan: i believe chrome will remove support for flash in the close future anyways [12:44] <\9> that's quite early [12:45] many video sites in china still use flash. [12:45] and you know, it's CHINA's video sites... lots of movies and tv series not freely available in the west... [12:45] \9: we're kinda half way through with october [12:45] <\9> ppf_: i've seen ubuntu releases usually happen near the end of month [12:46] <\9> cool, though [12:46] ppf_: you mean even chrome's own flash implementation will be removed? [12:46] yao_ziyuan, so you are 2-3 chrome versions behind, and vulnerable [12:47] OerHeks: no, after i saw the Flash expiration problem yesterday, i updated chrome to the latest. [12:47] yao_ziyuan, how did you do that? 15.10 is EOL [12:47] Firefox reported the same problem yesterday, but gave me an option to allow outdated plugins. [12:48] chrome has a command line option to allow outdated plugins too, but it doesn't work for my problem. [12:48] yao_ziyuan sure it's 15.10 and not 16.10 [12:48] Oh they do give support after we ended ?... [12:48] OerHeks: by manually go to chrome.google.com and download a full deb file. [12:48] anyway, this is going offtopic, try to fix your install with nomodeset. [12:49] OerHeks: oh, just realized this is for me [12:50] Someone know where I can find a channel to practice english?

[12:51] Thank you [12:51] <\9> yao_ziyuan: gtx 1060 works fine for me, as i said :P [12:52] yao_ziyuan, i don't give opinions about other distros, ubuntu support only. try ##linux ? [12:52] * yao_ziyuan goes to retry 16.10 Live DVD with nomodeset [12:52] <\9> for what it's worth, with gtx 1060 i didn't need to use nomodeset either [12:52] 16.10 got the latest kernel, and for that card enough driver options [12:58] Badman: Yes it is but I am just sharing m experience i have since logged out from my google account [12:59] want to ask support if anyone else has experienced an increase in google alerts when logged in on Ubuntu [13:00] chrome is called Chromium in Ubuntu just a heads up Badman [13:01] wrong, chromium is opensource, chrome closed. based on chromium with extras, that is. [13:01] pdfreader,unique ID, and some more [13:02] ok thanks for the correction i downloaded chrome but on install it was chromium that was installed instead will try again [13:02] You can have both installed :-) [13:02] i did it via sudo apt [13:02] solasoul: if you're downloading the google package then it's like google-chrome-stable [13:03] solasoul: that's chromium [13:03] schrodingerscat: thanks alot [13:05] solasoul: you don't need to type nicks, just type the first few characters and press tab. [13:06] ducasse, wow awesome thanks [13:06] :) [13:06] i cant find chrome [13:07] via sudo apt is it only available from the site [13:07] You need to add a arep [13:07] rep * [13:07] V7, how do i do that [13:07] solasoul: download it from google, it will add the repo [13:07] solasoul: visit the google chrome website and download the deb file [13:07] chrome is available on https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/ [13:08] ducasse +1 repo and key [13:08] OerHeks, Thanks I will download [13:08] solasoul: ... check if you ahve rep ... [13:08] Just type sudo apt install chrome [13:09] V7, fantastic [13:09] OerHeks, Thank you all for your help it worked [13:09] aw [13:18] OerHeks: nomodeset works! [13:20] yao_ziyuan, have fun! you need nomodeset only, till you installed the nvidia stuff [13:20] Anyone around with the gumption to help me out with a bad bug I'm experiencing on a fresh install of 16.04? I originally thought chromiun-browser was crashing my system. But it seems when any labor intensive browser, possible any program is left alone for an extended period of time, it will lock up the screen. I'm not sure if I can ssh in to it still. A couple people were helping me with this and I'm appreciative of their help however I need to fix [13:20] this or go back to 14.04. [13:20] OerHeks: they really should make nomodeset a default option. [13:21] phenom, do a memtest86 run3 [13:21] i'm almost considering switching to fedora or other major brands. [13:21] *i was [13:21] yao_ziyuan, that would not be possible, it disables advanced features [13:21] OerHeks, OK. Any idea where to start. "Google"? :P [13:21] Hi, I'm running lubuntu on an old macbook pro (a white plastic one from 2009). It's the only OS on the machine, systemd takes ~45s, but the whole boot takes 2min. Any way to speed this up? Is it the mac bootloader that does gymnastics to be windows compatible and takes so long? [13:22] phenom, boot live iso or choose memtest86 from grub, hold shift @ boot to enter grub menu [13:22] i would do live iso [13:22] live iso with 16.04? [13:22] ubuntu still has way to go for supporting mainstream pc's such as xps 8900. [13:22] sure, or an older one [13:22] hey guys if you download a game in zip how do you run it i dont see a deb file i just see python etc [13:22] and at grub add memtest86 to grub boot? [13:23] solasoul, do you see something called "make" ? [13:23] phenom, no, it is installed standard [13:23] yao_ziyuan thank you for the tip [13:23] solasoul: check the readme [13:23] i guess selling pc's with ubuntu pre-installed is a viable business... [13:23] EriC^^, yes i see zyncmake [13:24] yao_ziyuan ask microsoft, adobe and macromedia to port to linux, to make it more fit for the mainstream [13:24] solasoul: do you see any readme file? [13:24] Dell China only sells computers with windows pre-installed, meaning each computer contains a 200-yuan microsoft tax. [13:25] OerHeks, OK, I'm going to do it now. [13:25] Obliged, sir. [13:25] yao_ziyuan: It's basically the same in europe [13:25] EriC^^, no readme still searching through [13:26] solasoul: any kind of runme.py or so [13:26] solasoul: look for instructions where you downloaded it [13:26] EriC^^, yes [13:26] .py are python files solasoul [13:27] look, there is a gap between ubuntu and an off-the-shelf pc such as Dell XPS 8900, e.g. the nomodeset trick i just learned. [13:28] there can be a business to fill this gap. [13:28] solasoul: i'd check the maintainer's site for instructions [13:28] EriC^^, it doesnt say run me but theres a beta py there how do i run it ...it just opens a text file will do [13:29] i'll give it a thought... [13:29] solasoul: to run files you usually do chmod +x file.py then "./file.py" [13:29] EriC^^, thanks that helps [13:29] yao_ziyuan: My computer is pre-installed linux....Lenovo G480 [13:30] +x makes it executable, and ./ tells the shell to run the file that's in your current dir (as opposed to it looking for it in the $PATH variable that has /bin /usr/bin /sbin etc) [13:30] yinflying2016: lenovo has other problems... the green dam... [13:30] generally i don't trust chinese hardware... [13:30] yinflying2016: are you the famous Wang YIn?... [13:30] Hiyas all [13:31] yao_ziyuan: green dam? [13:31] yao_ziyuan: of course not [13:31] yinflying2016: 绿坝 [13:33] EriC^^, hey do i have to be in the folder to do that [13:33] yao_ziyuan: seems terrible [13:34] solasoul: yeah [13:35] yao_ziyuan: recently, I saw a news that some lenove computers are bound to windows and could not install linux....what a shame! [13:35] yao_ziyuan: stay on topic, please, this channel is only for ubuntu support [13:36] ducasse: ok, i cease. [13:36] EriC^^, ok did it nothing happened [13:36] ducasse: copy that [13:37] yinflying2016, i installed it on my lenovo ideapad [13:37] yinflying2016, i had to remove some settings with UEFI first i got the walkthrough on youtube [13:38] yinflying2016, not remove but take it off default options like the boot process but it works great [13:39] Ohh ... that's crap [13:39] Always this flash player ... === maxvaill1ncourt1 is now known as maxvaillancourt1 [13:39] How can I install this flash player to Opera in Linux ? [13:39] Without installing Chrome ? [13:40] I've downloaded *.so file and copied it to new created /usr/lib/opera/plugins folder as said in their instruction, but NOTHING !

[13:44] yinflying2016: I did that is instructed there [13:44] Result: no flash player [13:45] I gave up on that too [13:45] RIP Opera [13:45] V7：have you installed flashplayer ever? [13:45] With flashplugin-installer ? [13:45] Yes [13:45] SchrodingersScat, I read on the chat days ago its one of chromes best features [13:46] V7: you would better remove it... [13:46] solasoul: what's that? [13:47] wait [13:47] SchrodingersScat, the fact that it has flash [13:47] chrome can handle DRM flash and such [13:48] firefox downloads chrome to rip the plugin :-D [13:48] Removed and so on - nothing [13:49] flash player of linux is update to 23.0, it is a surprise! [13:49] and ? [13:53] Hi, I've run into an annoying problem on latest Ubuntu - not sure where to report it or fix it though - I have two USB drives that form a raid1 via a USB hub. When adding it the first time it's great - auto read only until mounted with Nautilus.... problem is when I remove it and re-add it much later it randomly breaks or resyncs etc. And it takes forever 10TB drives..

[14:04] yes you have to be the owner of the file [14:04] <\9> ah [14:04] im asking because im solving a issue [14:04] in all distro [14:04] what issue [14:04] on cinder netapp driver for openstack [14:04] anyone knows the command line for startup applications? [14:05] <\9> jnhghy: you want to start up something in the commandline? just type its name [14:05] is running chmod without being sudo [14:05] <\9> jnhghy: e.g. 'firefox' for firefox [14:05] jnhghy: you mean gnome-session-properties ? [14:06] \9: my bad, I want to make a command run at startup and I know there is an UI that lets me do that "Startup applications" but I want to start it from command line since I can't find it using the UI [14:06] Hi all. Weird annoying mouse-freezing problem on xenial/unity. Freezes every couple seconds or so, for a couple seconds. I've replaced the mouse and the mat, which didn't change anything, and now I am wondering if it's a software issue. [14:06] Any ideas on troubleshooting? [14:06] EriC^^: You nailed it! Thanks [14:07] jnhghy: no problem [14:07] fresh battery does wonders for a wireless mouse [14:08] <\9> beantaxi: try use a different usb port for the mouse? not much that i know of that could help [14:08] OerHeks: That was my hope :) I tried fresh ones on the old one, and the new one is a Logitech MX Master w a rechargeable [14:09] \9: Thanks ... My new mouse came with a new receiver, in a different port, so I'm not sure that's it. I'll change it though. [14:09] beantaxi, use an usb2 port, if you have usb3 available [14:10] I was thinking about downloading a LiveCD (sorry if I have that term wrong), booting that and see if that helps. [14:10] or open a terminal: top # and see for unusual spikes [14:10] ctrl alt T === altin__ is now known as altinu [14:18] OerHeks: Thanks for the tips. Chrome was at about 50% CPU. I killed it, and I had a responsive mouse for about 60s of continuous motion, for the first time in months. I have reopened Chrome, top is lower and the mouse is more responsive. I will try and monitor that. [14:18] Hello Dear [14:18] I have a microphne problem in ubuntu [14:18] There is some noise for example when I talk in telegram how can I solve it [14:18] I did this but it wasn't useful http://paste.ubuntu.com/23328957/ [14:18] Should normal browser usage affect the mouse though? Anything I might do about that? [14:20] beantaxi, likely a page crashed, in its own Virtual Environment. [14:20] top can reveal this [14:21] beantaxi, have fun! [14:21] hello everyone [14:21] OerHeks: This is happened for months across multiple reboots ... but perhaps pages are crashing more often. Thank you for the tips! [14:22] jali_ it could be possible that your mic is just "poor" [14:22] I am able to boot my image of 16.10 fine in Gnome boxes. But my computer can't actually boot from the Liveusb [14:22] it shows me this error message: imgur.com/a/nITS0 [14:24] #mirc [14:24] but why I don't have this problem in windows ,elcore [14:24] ciao [14:25] ciao? [14:26] Italian for bye [14:26] hi > when i do a cd ~ i go to root. but when i do a cd // i also go to root but a ls -lh shows more output. what function does the cd // have? [14:27] guvn0r: cd // is equivalent to cd / [14:28] more output what? maybe Windows is better [14:30] guvn0r: ~ should go to your home, not /, even as root the ~ is /root so unless you changed your home that doesn't make much sense to me. [14:30] when i navigate around i would obviously use cd, so i accidently used cd // and saw it jumped to root. didn't expect a different output once i done that and follow a ls. it seems to show maybe hidden files? [14:30] i mean home sorry [14:31] guvn0r: your user home is normally /home/username/ so / is much different, it will have all system files, etc. [14:31] guvn0r sweet, but cd // makes this machine jump to root [14:31] I installed lubuntu on a mac. This will have installed grub too, no? (so i can "bless" the partition to speed up boot time) [14:32] thanks guys. learning everyday [14:40] guvn0r, https://linuxjourney.com/ is a good place to learn [14:42] virtuosoj, thats a nice looking website, never seen that one before. [14:43] SynfulAck, I know right? The tutorials are quite easy to navigate/read. I'm still working through it [14:52] awesome site thanks === dh1tw_ is now known as dh1tw [14:55] ugh, any way to disable the startup sound on a mac without osx? I can set "nvram SystemAudioVolume" in recovery, but it resets to "N" when I reboot. Maybe because I somehow set this in the recovery, not on the real system? === teo is now known as Guest21555 === johnlage is now known as johnlage_ [15:03] Oct 15 15:02:17 ubuntu ubiquity: message repeated 84 times: [ #01579% [1 /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-flashplugi] [15:03] Oct 15 15:02:18 ubuntu ubiquity: #01580% [1 /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-flashplugi [15:03] i was about to report that the flash plugin download takes a LONG time as one of Ubuntu 16.10's final installation steps [15:04] but it suddenly completed now... === MildlySeriousCat is now known as WetCat === S-USA|Zzzz is now known as SonikkuAmerica === WetCat is now known as MildlySeriousCat [15:08] i can't install anope [15:09] it just freezes [15:09] through synaptic [15:10] !info anope [15:10] anope (source: anope): IRC Services designed for flexibility and ease of use.

[15:26] Hello Guys. My friend is running Xubuntu 15.10. So I advised him to upgrade to 16.04. After issuing sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade I issued sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. The downloading of the kernel images went fine. But while setting up the kernel, the OS took way too long, and there was no verbose output for me to know whether the command got hanged or running fine. So I ctrl + Z from the command . And now when I update my package it [15:26] says me to do a sudo dpkg --configure -a . I restarted the system and did a sudo apt get update. It went fine. But when I issued sudo apt-get upgrade, it started the setting up the newly downloaded kernel image. It is taking time gain , Currently stuck on run-parts: Executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update grub 4.2.0-42-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.2.--42-generic. Shall I wait while it executes ?? [15:27] !dist-upgrade | arch-user: You don't use dist-upgrade to upgrade to a new release [15:27] arch-user: You don't use dist-upgrade to upgrade to a new release: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. === lethu_ is now known as lethu [15:28] arch-user: But to answer your question, let zz-update-grub run. [15:28] ubottu: Yes. I wanted to upgrade from Xbuntu 15.10 to Xbuntu 16.04. So I followed an article telling me to first update repos then upgrade packages then run dist-upgrade. [15:28] arch-user: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:29] could anyone help me with a problem I am having with my GTX 1070? Seems to be a problem with the open source video drivers, but no matter which distro I use my computer wont boot, even with nomodeset set, and in recovery mode. It either spits out errors on the cli or wont start at all [15:29] are there still daily builds of 16.10? I would like to run Yakkety but my laptop won't even boot the release image [15:29] arch-user: That will make sure your packages in 15.10 are the latest (which should be easy peas, since 15.10 has reached end-of-life) [15:29] SonikkuAmerica: Okay. What is the correct way to upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 from within the OS itself? [15:29] arch-user: 2 ways [15:29] arch-user, as someone who just 'enjoyed' a failed upgrade, please back up your data first :) you may even care to do a fresh install [15:30] arch-user: (a) In a terminal, run [ do-release-upgrade ] [15:30] ubuntu 16.10 installed on xps 8900! [15:30] arch-user: (b) Use the Software Updater. [15:30] yay [15:31] arch-user: I prefer method (a), because that way the install won't necessarily be botched due to a graphical error (which has happened to me in the past) [15:32] to negate previously mentioned bad experience, I would like to bring up my successful do-dist-upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 :) [15:32]
