[02:36] <jopair> Anyone online that may be able to answer a simple question?
[02:38] <jopair> I get err:11 on the "amd packages" of the lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/stable/ ubuntu xenial/main
[02:39] <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.
[02:40] <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...
[02:52] <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/
[03:04] <jopair> i don't see it in there
[03:06] <wgrant> jopair: Perhaps in /etc/apt/sources.list instead?
[03:09] <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
[03:12] <jopair> cool. that works
[03:13] <jopair> should i remove the entire repo?
[03:14] <jopair> I'm not seeing a way to just remove the amd64 part
[03:15] <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
[03:16] <jopair> ubuntu xenial/main amd64
[03:16] <jopair> this time i just did it it is err:8
[03:19] <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.
[03:26] <jopair> Is a screen shot acceptable? I'm working thru a vm and its' CLI only
[03:29] <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.
[03:30] <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.
[03:32] <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.
[03:33] <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
[03:34] <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.
[03:35] <jopair> I see nothing in my sources.list.d
[03:36] <teward> jopair: does the grep command i gave earlier show anything?
[03:36] <teward> grep -i -r 'lightdm-gtk-greeter-team' /etc/apt/
[03:37] <jopair> nothing
[03:38] <jopair> double checked spelling...
[03:38] <jopair> its not in there.
[03:40] <wgrant> It has to be there somewhere
[03:42] <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?
[03:43] <jopair> Well, if I knew how else to do it, i'd be glad to
[03:44] <wgrant> run the command, copy the output into paste.ubuntu.com in a web browser
[03:45] <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?
[03:46] <jopair> Nope
[03:46] <wgrant> can you ssh in?
[03:46] <wgrant> or screenshot
[03:47] <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
[03:50] <jopair> http://imgur.com/a/avVUW
[03:52] <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?
[03:54] <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.
[03:55] <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
[03:58] <wgrant> Oh, no, lack of scrolling on a VGA terminal is standard.
[03:59] <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.
[04:01] <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
[04:02] <jopair> no that's not right, but something of the sort
[04:05] <jopair> xorg ... if that matters
[04:36] <jopair> I appreciate the effort. I'll keep looking around for an answer.
[05:25] <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? :)
[05:26] <wxl> most recently this was used on bug 1675071
[05:27] <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
[05:28] <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)
[05:32] <wxl> strange
[05:42] <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
