| SeanFromQueens | Anyone actually participating here? | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| Fritigern | SeanFromQueens: If you can boot into a terminal (text mode), you may be able to manually run an update. | 00:35 |
| SeanFromQueens | how does one boot into terminal? | 00:36 |
| SeanFromQueens | Can I assume doing anything (changing grub boot order & copying the profile directories from the Kubuntu partition) from the Windows session is moot and undoable? | 00:37 |
| Fritigern | wait, other idea. If you manage to get to the desktop, hit CTRL+ALT+F1, this will put you in a terminal (TTY1), you can then switch back to graphics mode with CTRL+ALT+F7 | 00:37 |
| Fritigern | First you will need a system that does not freeze, and updating the system MIGHT help, but i can;t guarantee anything | 00:38 |
| SeanFromQueens | hopefully it doesn't freeze while in terminal mode, so that I can do the update and get back to GUI mode. | 00:39 |
| Fritigern | Once you are in terminal mode, enter "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" (without quotes of course), this will download and install all available updates. | 00:39 |
| SeanFromQueens | the double && allows for multiple commands at a time, right? | 00:41 |
| Fritigern | Yup, that is correct | 00:42 |
| SeanFromQueens | Fritigern: How about being able to do anything from Windows session? | 00:42 |
| Fritigern | sudo apt update will retrieve a list of updated packages, and sudo apt full-upgrade downloads and installs those packages | 00:42 |
| SeanFromQueens | Is retrieving app profiles and reordering grub boot order, just a bridge too far? | 00:43 |
| Fritigern | I don;t know if anything *is* possible from Windows. It all depends on how you have installed Kubuntu, if that's on an image or a separate partition, and if you have a shared partition with one of the filesystems that Wondows supports. | 00:43 |
| Fritigern | Please ignore my typos. As funny as they may seem, they are not deliberate | 00:44 |
| SeanFromQueens | separate partitions | 00:44 |
| Fritigern | Windows has no support for Ext4 file systems, which is what (K)Ubuntu uses by default. So you may have to get into Kubuntu first before you can mofe stuff around | 00:45 |
| SeanFromQueens | But while I'm running Kubuntu (or when I could run it without it freezing up) I could access the Windows partition | 00:45 |
| Fritigern | Yes, Linux supports many different file systems, but Windows does not. Windows only cares about itself :-) | 00:46 |
| SeanFromQueens | I guess Kubuntu can access FAT16 or FAT32, but it doesn't work the other way around | 00:46 |
| Fritigern | exactly | 00:46 |
| Fritigern | Linux can also access NTFS partitions | 00:46 |
| SeanFromQueens | NTFS partitions, what's that? | 00:47 |
| Fritigern | NTFS is what Windows uses as a default since Windows Xp | 00:48 |
| SeanFromQueens | Learn something new every day, thanks Fritigern | 00:48 |
| Fritigern | And I have just learned something as well. I figured that since it has been ages since I've used windows, that perhaps there have been new developments on their filesystem support. And wouldn;t you know it, I have just read the following: " Recently released ReFS file system was developed by Microsoft as a new generation file system for Windows 8 Servers." | 00:51 |
| Fritigern | This is where I've read this. http://www.ufsexplorer.com/und_fs.php#windows | 00:52 |
| SeanFromQueens | Thanks I guess I've got to go and try this out | 00:58 |
| Fritigern | valorie: Here's a new paste showing me first doing apt full-upgrade, then apt install wine-stable which I decline, then a full-upgrade again. This to show that my system IS fully up to date, and still wine would cause a crapload of stuff to be uninstalled. http://paste.ubuntu.com/26151115/ | 01:15 |
| SeanFromQueens | Fritigern: I'm back, that sudo apt update and full-upgrade commands (I entered the correct commands) gave a lot of 404 not found errors as the packages scrolled down the screen | 01:33 |
| SeanFromQueens | then the system responded with advice to apt-get update and apt-get update --fix-missing | 01:36 |
| SeanFromQueens | neither fixed the freezing system problem, I guess I'm going to have to scrap it and reinstall wiping out the settings and profiles that I had | 01:37 |

| valorie | SeanFromQueens: do you have some PPAs mixed in there or something? | 01:58 |
| valorie | unless your connections are dodgy, there should be no 404s | 01:59 |
| Leevancleef | Kubuntu Live USB failed to load Plasma and GUI hung on the error window. I've switched to TTY2 to poweroff, but it's asking me for a password | 06:18 |
| Leevancleef | Anybody know the login info for the Live CD/USB? | 06:19 |
| Leevancleef | 17.10 | 06:19 |
| Leevancleef | Live USB worked fine upon restart. Attempting install lol | 06:37 |
| Leevancleef | I've never seen an OpenGL failure in a Live CD like that before. | 06:37 |

| Crell | Hi folks. I've a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th Gen running 17.10, with a Thunderbolt dock. The dock *was* working properly. However, for unknown reasons it's now not connecting any data. Just power. No ethernet, no video, no USB, nothing. I did not change any settings.
