| sybariten | oh hai | 13:26 |
|---|---|---|
| sybariten | i am having problems with my live xubuntu distros.... on USB memory. | 13:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | please describe the problem you have | 13:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | and stick around | 13:27 |
| sybariten | I used to run the last version (15?) for a long time and it worked flawlessly, i always boot up, change the keyuboard, do an apt-get update and then i'm good to go, zillions of applications to install | 13:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | ok | 13:27 |
| sybariten | Suddenly i felt like apt-get update didnt work anymore when booting that one, so i figured it had reached end of life or something and DLed the latest version instead. I have tried burning it to a couple of USB memories. | 13:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | "burning"? | 13:28 |
| sybariten | Here is what happens, as a small log, after i've booted into a desktop and opened a terminal : https://pastebin.com/bKRgHWXx | 13:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | oh fun | 13:28 |
| sybariten | Yeah well installing it... DD:ing it.... | 13:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | appstream bug | 13:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | it's had a few | 13:29 |
| sybariten | aha, something youve seen before? | 13:29 |
| pmjdebruijn | not exactly this | 13:29 |
| pmjdebruijn | but similarish | 13:29 |
| pmjdebruijn | which 16.04 is this precisely? | 13:29 |
| pmjdebruijn | 16.04 | 13:29 |
| pmjdebruijn | or 16.04.3? | 13:29 |
| sybariten | I figured for a while that maybe there was a physical problem with the USB memory, i mean, it could happen.... and that apt would run into problems because of that. But ive tried it on two different memories, same story | 13:29 |
| sybariten | let me see... i am not running it now, ofcourse, but i think i have the ISO on this win computer | 13:29 |
| pmjdebruijn | nah appstream has had a few issues along the way | 13:29 |
| sybariten | xubuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso | 13:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | I'm guessing you used 16.04 | 13:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | which is really old now | 13:30 |
| sybariten | oh really? | 13:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | download xubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-i386.iso | 13:30 |
| sybariten | but is that also on the site? | 13:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | that's 16.04 with all updated till two months ago integrated in it | 13:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | I think appstream was fixed shortly after 16.04, so 16.04.1 probably alraedy no longe rhas the issue | 13:30 |
| sybariten | oh really | 13:31 |
| sybariten | i dont know much about these versions... lemme go to the site and check | 13:31 |
| sybariten | Wait a minute, theyre also talking about a 17.x verison? | 13:32 |
| sybariten | oh i see where i did wrong now, i actually picked the topmost iso in a long listing on a mirror... and there were some others furthter down, i missed that. Theres .1 .2 and .3 | 13:33 |
| pmjdebruijn | indeed | 13:39 |
| pmjdebruijn | so it's all 16.04, but with updates integrated | 13:39 |
| pmjdebruijn | generally it's not a bad idea to stick to LTS releases like 16.04 | 13:40 |
| pmjdebruijn | 17.04/17.10 are entirely new releases with even newer software integrated, but these releases are sometimes more buggier, it totally depends | 13:40 |
| roses | im looking for an app that will tell me when my network connection stops working, also at what time there is no longer a connection | 13:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | roses: for just one system? or at ascale | 13:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | smokeping might be what you're looking for | 13:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | or pingdom | 13:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | pingdom is cloud meh | 13:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | if it's just for one system locally, i'm afraid you're going to have to script something yourself | 13:58 |
