| jopair | Anyone online that may be able to answer a simple question? | 02:36 |
|---|---|---|
| jopair | I get err:11 on the "amd packages" of the lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/stable/ ubuntu xenial/main | 02:38 |
| jopair | I see that some people say that I could just keep the error and see it every time, in case a future update depends on it, but I'd rather it go away. | 02:39 |
| jopair | when I go to sources.list.d and try to edit the file inside, it is just one line for the entire main structure | 02:40 |
| jopair | any help would be appreciated... | 02:40 |
| wgrant | jopair: That PPA doesn't provide packages for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. You probably want to remove the relevant file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 02:52 |
| jopair | i don't see it in there | 03:04 |
| wgrant | jopair: Perhaps in /etc/apt/sources.list instead? | 03:06 |
| teward | you could always find out using grep -i -r 'lightdm-gtk-greeter-team' /etc/apt/ | 03:09 |
| teward | you could always find out using this command: grep -i -r 'lightdm-gtk-greeter-team' /etc/apt/ | 03:09 |
| teward | oops double post sorry | 03:09 |
| jopair | cool. that works | 03:12 |
| jopair | should i remove the entire repo? | 03:13 |
| jopair | I'm not seeing a way to just remove the amd64 part | 03:14 |
| teward | jopair: I would remove the entire repository, if the PPA doesn't provide the repositories., | 03:15 |
| teward | where're you seeing err:11 by the way, "no amd packages" or something else? | 03:15 |
| teward | (I came in late sorry) | 03:15 |
| jopair | when i do apt-get update | 03:15 |
| jopair | most of them are fine... but then there is a 404 error on the amd64 | 03:15 |
| jopair | ubuntu xenial/main amd64 | 03:16 |
| jopair | this time i just did it it is err:8 | 03:16 |
| teward | jopair: Can you include the full error message and output and put it into a pastebin on paste.ubuntu.com and give us the link? | 03:19 |
| teward | if I'm right it's 404ing on the releases file, and that's a repo you should remove as wgrant suggested because that PPA doesn't have 16.04 packages. | 03:19 |
| jopair | Is a screen shot acceptable? I'm working thru a vm and its' CLI only | 03:26 |
| wgrant | jopair: amd64 is your system's architecture. | 03:29 |
| jopair | it should be i386 | 03:29 |
| wgrant | It's only going to complain about amd64 because it's only looking for amd64. | 03:29 |
| jopair | and i386 does not show up as an error | 03:30 |
| wgrant | jopair: Your system is 32-bit? | 03:30 |
| wgrant | That doesn't seem likely. | 03:30 |
| jopair | okay, well let's say for arguments sake it is 64-bit, is there a way to get rid of the error? | 03:32 |
| wgrant | Remove the line referencing the repository. | 03:32 |
| wgrant | The architecture in the error message is a red herring; it's reporting a single architecture because it's only looking for a single architecture. | 03:33 |
| jopair | the entire main repository? I don't see one specifically for amd64 | 03:33 |
| wgrant | The entire repository with 'lightdm-gtk-greeter-team' in the URL | 03:33 |
| wgrant | The architecture is not specified in sources.list unless you're doing something strange; each repository supports several architectures, and apt just looks for the architecture that the system is using. | 03:34 |
| jopair | I see nothing in my sources.list.d | 03:35 |
| teward | jopair: does the grep command i gave earlier show anything? | 03:36 |
| teward | grep -i -r 'lightdm-gtk-greeter-team' /etc/apt/ | 03:36 |
| jopair | nothing | 03:37 |
| jopair | double checked spelling... | 03:38 |
| jopair | its not in there. | 03:38 |
| wgrant | It has to be there somewhere | 03:40 |
| wgrant | Can you pastebin the full output of "sudo apt-get update"? | 03:42 |
| jopair | I'll try to clone the machine to one with a gui and make that happen | 03:42 |
| wgrant | hmm? | 03:42 |
| wgrant | why do you need a GUI? | 03:42 |
| jopair | Well, if I knew how else to do it, i'd be glad to | 03:43 |
| wgrant | run the command, copy the output into paste.ubuntu.com in a web browser | 03:44 |
| jopair | I'm not trying to be difficult here, but that doesn't seem possibly the way the VM is setup | 03:45 |
| wgrant | ah, you're not SSHed in? | 03:45 |
| jopair | Nope | 03:46 |
| wgrant | can you ssh in? | 03:46 |
| wgrant | or screenshot | 03:46 |
| jopair | I can screen shot. but would I still be able to paste into pastebin? | 03:47 |
| wgrant | no, you'd have to upload the image somewhere | 03:47 |
| wgrant | eg. imgur.com | 03:47 |
| jopair | http://imgur.com/a/avVUW | 03:50 |
| jopair | thats as far as it will let me capture. for some reason the VM is a bit glitchy and doesn't allow scroll... lame I know | 03:52 |
| wgrant | Ah, so by the look of it it might actually be deliberately set up in an obtuse way for the course? | 03:52 |
| jopair | I don't think it was intentionally done that way. At least I can't think of a logical reason to have it done this way. | 03:54 |
| jopair | Unless there's some sort of a memory concern... but it seems counter productive as I can't see the entirety of long lists | 03:55 |
| wgrant | Oh, no, lack of scrolling on a VGA terminal is standard. | 03:58 |
| wgrant | But the fact that the repository isn't listed anywhere in /etc/apt, combined with the fact that that's a PPA that wouldn't make sense on a graphical system when this seems to be text-only, is a bit suspicious. | 03:59 |
| jopair | at one point I think I tried to install some sort of interface, so that I could still view websites or get into applications if needed. they should be completely removed though | 04:01 |
| jopair | i think xterm | 04:01 |
| jopair | no that's not right, but something of the sort | 04:02 |
| jopair | xorg ... if that matters | 04:05 |
| jopair | I appreciate the effort. I'll keep looking around for an answer. | 04:36 |

| wxl | trying to mitigate an issue i am having with launchpad and the email interface for bugs as i'm getting bad signatures. my situation is a little weird as a i have a bit of layers: gmail client sending as @ubuntu.com using mailvelope to encrypt. trying to figure out where the problem is. um, help? :) | 05:25 |
| wxl | most recently this was used on bug 1675071 | 05:26 |
| ubot5 | bug 1675071 in Lubuntu-Tweaks "PCManFM hangs when changing LXmenu-applications" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1675071 | 05:26 |
| wxl | i know there are some problems with mailvelope and gmail due to gmail's weird line wrapping in plain text mode. however, i kept the lines artificially short to mitigate that | 05:27 |
| wxl | this resulted in a good signature at least as far as i could tell using mailvelope in the outgoing mail (previous attempts had failed in this way) | 05:28 |
| wxl | strange | 05:32 |
| wgrant | wxl: Have you tried Ccing the email to yourself and verifying the signature? | 05:42 |
| wxl | wgrant: that's a good idea. thanks for the hint | 05:42 |
