| zeeblefritz | anyone there that can help with "no new releases found" when attempting to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 | 17:18 |
| knome | zeeblefritz, just to confirm, what does "lsb_release -a" say? | 17:18 |
| zeeblefritz | ubuntu 14.04.5 lts | 17:20 |
| zeeblefritz | do you need exact? or is that good | 17:21 |
| knome | that's fine | 17:21 |
| zeeblefritz | also says no LSB modules available | 17:22 |
| knome | i guess you have also updated all packages to their latest versions? | 17:22 |
| zeeblefritz | over and over again | 17:22 |
| knome | also, what about in settings manager -> software & updates -> tab updates, what's the setting for notifying of new versions? | 17:22 |
| zeeblefritz | any new version | 17:23 |
| knome | mhm, try setting that to long-term support, then try upgrading again | 17:23 |
| zeeblefritz | same | 17:25 |
| knome | interesting | 17:25 |
| knome | what does "sudo do-release-upgrade" say? | 17:26 |
| zeeblefritz | okay so without the -d or -c it seems to be downloading a new update | 17:28 |
| zeeblefritz | a week ago though it appeared to be working then gave me an error I can't recall | 17:29 |
| zeeblefritz | maybe it will work now | 17:29 |
| knome | if it doesn't, take note what kind of errors or warnings you get | 17:29 |
| knome | (and you already know this, but always take backups before upgrading) | 17:30 |
| zeeblefritz | yeah this machine is a backup hence why it was so far behind. | 17:31 |
| zeeblefritz | would the lack of incremental updates cause something like this? | 17:31 |
| knome | in some cases not being up-to-date with updates *when you upgrade* can make a difference, but if you updated packages before upgrading, there shouldn't be any issues | 17:33 |
| zeeblefritz | okay just wondering. the machine was in storage and I tried to use it as a dvd player on my tv but decided not to output audio from hdmi. | 17:34 |
| zeeblefritz | there appeared to be an issue with hdmi audio with 14.04 so i tried to upgrade then was met with this | 17:34 |
| knome | right | 17:35 |
| knome | sounds weird, but hey, that's hardware... | 17:35 |
| zeeblefritz | i just hope I can get hdmi audio without reverting back to windows | 17:36 |
| knome | if it is of any condolence, i'm doing hdmi audio constantly with xubuntu | 17:37 |
| knome | so there's no ultimate blocker that completely stops you from doing it | 17:37 |
| zeeblefritz | I feel like I have done it with this computer before but maybe not | 17:37 |
| zeeblefritz | if I change internet connections mid download for faster speed will it cause any problems you know of? | 17:38 |
| zeeblefritz | appears not | 17:44 |
| zeeblefritz | :) | 17:45 |
| knome | :) | 18:02 |
| luissss | Hello, good day everyone i like to ask for help | 18:07 |
| knome | luissss, no need to ask - just ask | 18:07 |
| luissss | am running Xubuntu 16.10 on my pc, and i want to install antix alongside my Xubuntu for experimentation, so i am runing xubuntu 16.04 on a usb live iso, I run gparted to make a partition and i got this message> The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes. Why is happening_ Can some one help me pliease_ | 18:09 |

| luissss | someone help please | 18:49 |
| diogenes_ | luissss, call 911 | 18:50 |
| knome | luissss, did you try searching for answers online? | 18:51 |
| luissss | yes | 18:52 |
| luissss | and the answers i found are about formating my hd and i do not want to erase my Xubuntu on my pc am trying to make some free space to install the other os | 18:52 |
| diogenes_ | luissss, what question? | 18:53 |
| luissss | am running Xubuntu 16.10 on my pc, and i want to install antix alongside my Xubuntu for experimentation, so i am runing xubuntu 16.04 on a usb live iso, I run gparted to make a partition and i got this message> The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes. Why is happening_ Can some one help me pliease | 18:53 |
| diogenes_ | luissss, I've never had issues with partitioning so, can't help there, sorry | 18:54 |
| luissss | txs | 18:55 |
| luissss | that is why am asking for help But seems like no one knows | 18:55 |
| knome | luissss, also, no need to repeat; the majority of people have already seen the question | 18:55 |
| knome | and yes, it's possible nobody knows - or that the solution is to reformat | 18:56 |
| diogenes_ | but I did have some success running antix on a 14 yo laptop with a little bit more than 100 MB memory | 18:56 |
| luissss | toke let me refresh | 18:56 |
| luissss | ok* | 18:56 |
| diogenes_ | luissss, why don't you want to format? | 18:57 |
| luissss | i want to partition my hd so i can have some room to install antix, but when trying to do so, i can resize my hd then i proceed to partition and it only allows me to create ext4 as a primary partion and swap also as a primary partition the options extended en logical are gray so i can't pick any of those only primary partitions | 18:59 |
| luissss | And the reason for me not wanting to format my hd is because i have Xubuntu 16.10 as my os, antix is for experimentation only | 19:00 |
| luissss | any way i just do not know why am i having problems to partiotioning the logical and extended options shouldn't be gray | 19:01 |
| diogenes_ | you can try to convert it to GPT if you find a way to convert without data loss, then try to make partitions again | 19:01 |
| luissss | ok | 19:02 |
| diogenes_ | because it's MBR I assume | 19:02 |
| luissss | have a nice day | 19:03 |
| diogenes_ | thx u2 | 19:03 |
| CrazyTux | hello, can I install SAP ERP on Xubuntu 16.04.2? | 19:10 |
| knome | tbh i'd ask SAP | 19:12 |
| CrazyTux | ok | 19:13 |
| CrazyTux | just wanted to know whether it can be installed on Xubuntu. | 19:14 |
| CrazyTux | or any Ubuntu based distro or Mint. | 19:15 |
| knome | i have no idea whether they support linux to start with | 19:15 |
| knome | if yes, then the answer is most likely yes... | 19:15 |
| CrazyTux | the officially supported linux distros are Redhat, SUSE. | 19:16 |
| CrazyTux | and Oracle linux | 19:16 |
| knome | then you might be able to run it on xubuntu, but of course without official support | 19:17 |
| CrazyTux | but, I want to install SAP ERP for educational purposes. | 19:17 |
| CrazyTux | even without official support is ok. | 19:17 |
| knome | for educational purposes i suggest looking for ideas how to do that yourself :P | 19:17 |
| CrazyTux | ok | 19:17 |
| knome | i'm pretty sure they don't offer source packages, so either you will have an executable that either works or doesn't work directly on xubuntu | 19:18 |
| knome | or a package that works with some other pakcage management system | 19:18 |
| knome | in which case you can try to convert it to apt | 19:18 |
| CrazyTux | since Redhat and Suse are officially supported, could SAP be installed on OpenSuse or Centos? | 19:19 |
| knome | you should likely ask that question on an opensuse or centos support outlet... but probably | 19:19 |
| CrazyTux | ok | 19:20 |
| CrazyTux | in what way is Xubuntu more suitable than Debian? | 19:32 |
| knome | uhm, suitable for what? | 19:35 |
| CrazyTux | for newbies | 19:40 |
| CrazyTux | for general home and office use. | 19:40 |
| CrazyTux | how is xubuntu as compared to debian 9 xfce? | 19:41 |
| knome | they are different. :P | 19:42 |
| knome | the most notable difference is likely configuration and looks | 19:42 |
| CrazyTux | is debian faster than xubuntu? | 19:43 |
| knome | i have no benchmarks. | 19:43 |
| CrazyTux | ok | 19:44 |
| CrazyTux | but, is debian newbie friendly? | 19:47 |
| CrazyTux | Debian 9? | 19:47 |
| knome | this is the xubuntu channel, not debian... | 19:47 |
| CrazyTux | ok | 19:50 |
