[11:05] <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
[11:06] <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
[11:08] <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
[11:09] <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
[11:10] <redblade7> i tried resetting the default servers in settings
[11:10] <redblade7> didnt work either
[11:11] <redblade7> archive.ubuntu.com the do-distro-upgrade program says
[11:12] <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
[11:13] <redblade7> but if the server is the same and the internet works fine and it literally just skips over several packages with that error
[11:14] <redblade7> "failed to fetch" it also says
[11:15] <redblade7> "do-release-upgrade" sorry
[11:15] <knome> flocculant, have you seen that stuff happen? ^
[11:16] <redblade7> it's apparently caching the packages with each new try so i can just keep trying until they're all in
[11:17] <flocculant> nope - maybe set to a different server? depends where you are
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <redblade7> i'll take a look
[11:19] <flocculant> download from:
[11:19] <knome> as i said... ;)
[11:20] <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
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <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
[11:26] <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
[11:27] <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
[11:29] <xubuntu75i> any one here knows apache mesos setup on docker.
[11:29] <xubuntu75i> unable to run apps in marathaon
[11:36] <redblade7> hi
[11:36] <redblade7> the server was set to "main"
[11:37] <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"
[11:39] <redblade7> i'm gonna try synapti
[11:39] <redblade7> c
[11:42] <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
[11:43] <redblade7> apologies if i dont give the exact message but the linux computer is in another room and i'm going back and forth
[11:47] <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)
[11:53] <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
[12:02] <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
[13:08] <redblade7> everything seems to be mostly fine now
[13:20] <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"
[13:21] <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
[13:22] <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
[14:09] <Managor_> Where can I find info on what's new in Xubuntu specifically?
[14:13] <knome> https://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-17-10-release/
[14:13] <knome> and the release notes linked from the announcement
[14:18] <Managor_> Thanks
[15:25] <Managor> What was the command for reactivating 3rd party sources that showed during installation?
[15:58] <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.
[16:03] <soft_> It says "this app can't run on your pc".....hope anyone can help...thanks.
[16:12] <krytarik> soft_: For this you need 1.) a BitTorrent client, and 2.) to create a USB stick or DVD using the resulting ISO image.
[16:14] <soft_> thanks krytarik.
[16:16] <soft_> is there a site you would recommend to download it from?
[16:18] <flocculant> the getxubuntu page :)
[16:18] <flocculant> https://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[16:30] <soft_> thank you flocculant
[20:11] <roses> will something wrong happen if I execute # grep -i -a -B10 -A100 'toshiba' /dev/sdb1 > file.txt ?
[20:13] <well_laid_lawn> it could take a while but nothing will blow up - what are you worried will happen ?
[20:15] <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
[20:17] <well_laid_lawn> you have to be in single user mode as that post says
[20:18] <well_laid_lawn> did you use rm or delete it from the file manager ?
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <roses> it may have been overwritten...
[20:20] <well_laid_lawn> ok
