| redblade7 | hi | 11:05 |
| redblade7 | i am having some real trouble upgrading to 17.10 | 11:05 |
| redblade7 | every couple packages are failing to download with "unable to connect" | 11:05 |
| redblade7 | i have already somehow screwed up the software update manager which either reports "up to date" or "partial upgrade" | 11:05 |
| redblade7 | right now i'm doing "do-distro-upgrade" or whatever it's called | 11:05 |
| redblade7 | but still i cannot download every package and cannot upgrade | 11:06 |
| redblade7 | every couple packages there are a couple packages that fail to download | 11:06 |
| redblade7 | with "unable to connect" errors | 11:06 |
| redblade7 | anyone else having this problem | 11:06 |
| redblade7 | ? | 11:06 |
| redblade7 | the internet connection is fine | 11:06 |
| knome | redblade7, which server are you using for downloads? | 11:08 |
| redblade7 | the packages that it skips are not slow or anything | 11:08 |
| redblade7 | it skips fast | 11:08 |
| redblade7 | i dont know knome, whatever server do-distro-upgrade is called | 11:08 |
| redblade7 | for some reason the gui upgrade manager fails to work | 11:08 |
| redblade7 | the thing with that is | 11:08 |
| redblade7 | a problem i always had with software update manager is that if you enlarge the window a little there's no way to resize it | 11:09 |
| knome | if you go to settings -> software & updates, what does the "download from" field say | 11:09 |
| redblade7 | so i couldnt proceed with the update and pressed esc | 11:09 |
| redblade7 | nothing had downloaded at all | 11:09 |
| redblade7 | or attempted to install at all | 11:09 |
| redblade7 | but somehow that wont work anymore | 11:09 |
| redblade7 | and i have to do that cli utility | 11:09 |
| redblade7 | i tried resetting the default servers in settings | 11:10 |
| redblade7 | didnt work either | 11:10 |
| redblade7 | archive.ubuntu.com the do-distro-upgrade program says | 11:11 |
| redblade7 | is it perhaps an anti-dos thing on the ubuntu servers which is causing the inability to download packages too fast or something? | 11:12 |
| knome | anything is possible, but i doubt so | 11:12 |
| redblade7 | but if the server is the same and the internet works fine and it literally just skips over several packages with that error | 11:13 |
| redblade7 | "failed to fetch" it also says | 11:14 |
| redblade7 | "do-release-upgrade" sorry | 11:15 |
| knome | flocculant, have you seen that stuff happen? ^ | 11:15 |
| redblade7 | it's apparently caching the packages with each new try so i can just keep trying until they're all in | 11:16 |
| flocculant | nope - maybe set to a different server? depends where you are | 11:17 |
| redblade7 | how do you change the servers? | 11:18 |
| flocculant | redblade7: if it stops again - set server to main in software and updates, unless you are already | 11:18 |
| knome | from the GUI i pointed you to (under settings) | 11:18 |
| redblade7 | ok | 11:18 |
| flocculant | first tab | 11:18 |
| redblade7 | i thought i tried the reset defaults button | 11:18 |
| redblade7 | oh | 11:18 |
| redblade7 | the first tab | 11:18 |
| redblade7 | i'll take a look | 11:19 |
| flocculant | download from: | 11:19 |
| knome | as i said... ;) | 11:19 |
| flocculant | didn't read it all :) | 11:20 |
| knome | neither did redblade7 :P | 11:20 |
| flocculant | :) | 11:20 |
| redblade7 | i'll try flushing iptables too | 11:20 |
| redblade7 | everything's finally downloaded it seems and the upgrade started | 11:24 |
| flocculant | good :) | 11:24 |
| redblade7 | but i thought it skipped a bunch the last time around | 11:24 |
| redblade7 | hopefully it wasnt anything important and can be upgraded later | 11:25 |
| redblade7 | this is using do-release-upgrade | 11:25 |
| redblade7 | the software update manager was refusing to start sometimes | 11:25 |
| redblade7 | strange though that resizing a window would cause so much trouble | 11:26 |
| redblade7 | being unable to resize it back | 11:26 |
| xubuntu75i | hello all | 11:26 |
| xubuntu75i | installing xubuntu 16.04 :) | 11:27 |
| knome | xubuntu75i, hello | 11:27 |
| redblade7 | hi | 11:27 |
| xubuntu75i | had a issue with vagrant and libvirt in ubuntu 14.04 giving a try on 16.04 | 11:27 |
| xubuntu75i | any one here knows apache mesos setup on docker. | 11:29 |
| xubuntu75i | unable to run apps in marathaon | 11:29 |
| redblade7 | hi | 11:36 |
| redblade7 | the server was set to "main" | 11:36 |
| redblade7 | after i upgraded though software updater gave me the partial upgrade | 11:37 |
| redblade7 | so i clicked on it | 11:37 |
| redblade7 | it failed with the strange message "upgrading from artful to zesty not supported" | 11:37 |
| redblade7 | i'm gonna try synapti | 11:39 |
| redblade7 | c | 11:39 |
| redblade7 | synaptic seems to be working, but at some point got an error icon on the system tray, when right-clicking it gives "error: brokencount > 0" and mentions the need to resolve dependencies | 11:42 |
| redblade7 | apologies if i dont give the exact message but the linux computer is in another room and i'm going back and forth | 11:43 |
| redblade7 | i get a funny feeling thsi was caused after i set the default repositories when software upgrade manager was refusing to start | 11:47 |
| redblade7 | (it was not giving any error message it was just shutting down upon running) | 11:47 |
| redblade7 | synaptic is going throuhg a "Trying to recover from package failure" proedure which is allowing me to install maintainer's version of openssh, networkmanager, etc | 11:53 |
| redblade7 | and i have my data backed up including those config files so it isnt an issue | 11:53 |
| redblade7 | i'd rather not wipe everything out though | 11:53 |
| redblade7 | i get all kinds of dependency and sources.list errors | 12:02 |
| redblade7 | is there anyway to pretend going back to the original zesty sources so i can upgrade again | 12:02 |
| redblade7 | manually set it back | 12:02 |
| redblade7 | everything seems to be mostly fine now | 13:08 |
| knome | you should not set the repositories back to the old version or you might end up with issues | 13:20 |
| knome | keep them with the new version and simply finish the partial upgrade with "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt dist-upgrade" | 13:20 |
| redblade7 | well the broken dependencies had come down to iptables-persistent and i fixed it and everything is fine | 13:21 |
| redblade7 | software updater works | 13:21 |
| redblade7 | one thing though | 13:21 |
| redblade7 | i keep getting a message about adwaita not being found | 13:21 |
| redblade7 | dont know if i have to reinstall something | 13:21 |
| redblade7 | it works fine when set in kde system settings or xubuntu appearance | 13:22 |
| redblade7 | but it isnt in kde-config-gtk | 13:22 |
| redblade7 | and it gives that message when i try and start systemsettings5 | 13:22 |
| Managor_ | Where can I find info on what's new in Xubuntu specifically? | 14:09 |
| knome | https://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-17-10-release/ | 14:13 |
| knome | and the release notes linked from the announcement | 14:13 |
| Managor_ | Thanks | 14:18 |

| soft_ | HI. I am trying to install Ubuntu onto my old HP Netbook, to speed it up. I've downloaded the xubuntu 16 04 3 desktopi386 iso torrent. But my netbook can not open it. | 15:58 |
| soft_ | It says "this app can't run on your pc".....hope anyone can help...thanks. | 16:03 |
| krytarik | soft_: For this you need 1.) a BitTorrent client, and 2.) to create a USB stick or DVD using the resulting ISO image. | 16:12 |
| soft_ | thanks krytarik. | 16:14 |
| soft_ | is there a site you would recommend to download it from? | 16:16 |
| flocculant | the getxubuntu page :) | 16:18 |
| flocculant | https://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ | 16:18 |
| soft_ | thank you flocculant | 16:30 |
| roses | will something wrong happen if I execute # grep -i -a -B10 -A100 'toshiba' /dev/sdb1 > file.txt ? | 20:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | it could take a while but nothing will blow up - what are you worried will happen ? | 20:13 |
| roses | i dont know, https://superuser.com/questions/150027/how-to-recover-a-removed-file-under-linux list some other commands before that one and I dont uderstand any of them, thus I want to avoid them | 20:15 |
| well_laid_lawn | you have to be in single user mode as that post says | 20:17 |
| well_laid_lawn | did you use rm or delete it from the file manager ? | 20:18 |
| roses | this is to try and recover a file in ausb stick. Somebody I know installed a live cd on it and im trying to recover a text file named toshiba | 20:19 |
| roses | it may have been overwritten... | 20:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | ok | 20:20 |
