[03:19] <samalex> hi all.  quick question, my laptop is on ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS and I just ran apt-get update then apt-get upgrade.  if I run apt-get dist-upgrade then do-release-upgrade will this move me to ubuntu 16.04.1?  Just curious.
[03:20] <samalex> or should I install update-manager-core and force it to stick to LTS versions?  I want to stay with 16.04 since it's LTS.
[03:25] <krytarik> !upgradeofflts | samalex: Just do it the other way around, to "lts"
[03:25] <ubottu> samalex: Just do it the other way around, to "lts": To upgrade from an LTS release of Ubuntu to the next (non-LTS) release, run sudoedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change the prompt= line to "prompt=normal". Then, do sudo do-release-upgrade to begin the upgrade.
[03:27] <samalex> not sure what you mean by other way around, run do-release-upgrade then dost-upgrade?
[03:29] <samalex> i just didn't want to goto 16.10 or have to mess with burning CD's or making ISO images on  a usb drive if i could upgrade easily enough through apt
[03:31] <krytarik> samalex: Well, to put it more plain: '/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades' → prompt=lts → do-release-upgrade.
[03:31] <samalex> ahh makes since

[09:03] <jac76> I just let some patches apply to my system and after it was done my mouse had it's x and y axis swaped and x axis inverted.  It is an older logitech mouse.  Anybody else seeing anything like this?
[09:06] <jac76> I plugged in a regular non-wireless mouse and that one still worked ok, but my wireless Logitech mouse was messed up.

[16:06] <Spass_> Hello, I have a problem with copying files to my pendrive in Thunar, I'm on 16.10.
[16:07] <Spass_> Error message says it's read-only, but I'm pretty sure I have permissions to that drive.

[16:13] <Spass> OK, restart fixed that, sorry :)
[17:18] <xubuntu58o> hello. how can i verify that my xubunut download is ok?
[19:20] <swenray7> Hello everyone, first I want to say i'm glad to join this community. It's sooo fun to really "work" on the computer. So here's my first problem , since i tried to download a chrome software to watch netflix i screwwed something up, and tried sudo apt-get install -f, and finally the OS tells me he is unable to open the lock file, and unable to locke the administration directory
[19:21] <Pici> as long as you are sure there are no other package managers running... you can try this fix:
[19:21] <Pici> !aptfix
[19:21] <ubottu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[19:27] <swenray7> nope, he tells me libniss3:i386 version is different, one line later he tells me the same for libniss3:amd64... How can i be sure tht i haven't other package manager running ,
[19:27] <swenray7> ?
[19:28] <swenray7> Though i'm sure erased the to only softwares i downloaded from the download folder
[19:30] <swenray7> P.S : also tried !aptfix and did give me "event not found"

[23:23] <Guido1> is there a way to find all programs etc. which I can remove safely (and what they are for)? Not just the ones in the software centre.
