[02:36] Anyone online that may be able to answer a simple question? [02:38] I get err:11 on the "amd packages" of the lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/stable/ ubuntu xenial/main [02:39] 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. [02:40] 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] any help would be appreciated... [02:52] 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/ [03:04] i don't see it in there [03:06] jopair: Perhaps in /etc/apt/sources.list instead? [03:09] you could always find out using grep -i -r 'lightdm-gtk-greeter-team' /etc/apt/ [03:09] you could always find out using this command: grep -i -r 'lightdm-gtk-greeter-team' /etc/apt/ [03:09] oops double post sorry [03:12] cool. that works [03:13] should i remove the entire repo? [03:14] I'm not seeing a way to just remove the amd64 part [03:15] jopair: I would remove the entire repository, if the PPA doesn't provide the repositories., [03:15] where're you seeing err:11 by the way, "no amd packages" or something else? [03:15] (I came in late sorry) [03:15] when i do apt-get update [03:15] most of them are fine... but then there is a 404 error on the amd64 [03:16] ubuntu xenial/main amd64 [03:16] this time i just did it it is err:8 [03:19] 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] 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. [03:26] Is a screen shot acceptable? I'm working thru a vm and its' CLI only [03:29] jopair: amd64 is your system's architecture. [03:29] it should be i386 [03:29] It's only going to complain about amd64 because it's only looking for amd64. [03:30] and i386 does not show up as an error [03:30] jopair: Your system is 32-bit? [03:30] That doesn't seem likely. [03:32] okay, well let's say for arguments sake it is 64-bit, is there a way to get rid of the error? [03:32] Remove the line referencing the repository. [03:33] 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] the entire main repository? I don't see one specifically for amd64 [03:33] The entire repository with 'lightdm-gtk-greeter-team' in the URL [03:34] 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. [03:35] I see nothing in my sources.list.d [03:36] jopair: does the grep command i gave earlier show anything? [03:36] grep -i -r 'lightdm-gtk-greeter-team' /etc/apt/ [03:37] nothing [03:38] double checked spelling... [03:38] its not in there. [03:40] It has to be there somewhere [03:42] Can you pastebin the full output of "sudo apt-get update"? [03:42] I'll try to clone the machine to one with a gui and make that happen [03:42] hmm? [03:42] why do you need a GUI? [03:43] Well, if I knew how else to do it, i'd be glad to [03:44] run the command, copy the output into paste.ubuntu.com in a web browser [03:45] I'm not trying to be difficult here, but that doesn't seem possibly the way the VM is setup [03:45] ah, you're not SSHed in? [03:46] Nope [03:46] can you ssh in? [03:46] or screenshot [03:47] I can screen shot. but would I still be able to paste into pastebin? [03:47] no, you'd have to upload the image somewhere [03:47] eg. imgur.com [03:50] http://imgur.com/a/avVUW [03:52] 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] Ah, so by the look of it it might actually be deliberately set up in an obtuse way for the course? [03:54] 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. [03:55] Unless there's some sort of a memory concern... but it seems counter productive as I can't see the entirety of long lists [03:58] Oh, no, lack of scrolling on a VGA terminal is standard. [03:59] 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. [04:01] 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] i think xterm [04:02] no that's not right, but something of the sort [04:05] xorg ... if that matters [04:36] I appreciate the effort. I'll keep looking around for an answer. === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [05:25] 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? :) [05:26] most recently this was used on bug 1675071 [05:26] bug 1675071 in Lubuntu-Tweaks "PCManFM hangs when changing LXmenu-applications" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1675071 [05:27] 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 [05:28] 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) [05:32] strange [05:42] wxl: Have you tried Ccing the email to yourself and verifying the signature? [05:42] wgrant: that's a good idea. thanks for the hint === JanC is now known as Guest25494 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [14:37] hello, got spam from three LP accounts on a LP mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~thenut-d, https://launchpad.net/~andrew-bknown, and https://launchpad.net/~spq
