[00:04] <Thedarkb> I think I broke my apt sources.
 You edited /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[00:13] <Thedarkb> Yeah.
 How do I restore the default repositories? - Ask Ubuntu
[00:15] <Thedarkb> Thanks.
 You're welcome :)

[00:23] <Thedarkb> Huh?
[00:23] <Thedarkb> That paste might have been a bit big.
 Lubuntu 17.04 reached End of Life a week ago: https://lubuntu.me/zesty-eol/
 (and it's np about the paste)
[00:24] <Thedarkb> Oh.
 Yes, you need to upgrade
[00:24] <tsimonq2> Worst case scenario, you can change everything to old-releases.ubuntu.com if you still need a Zesty archive for apt update etc.
[00:24] <Thedarkb> I'll go for an LTS this time.
[00:24] <tsimonq2> (in sources.list)
[00:25] <tsimonq2> Sure, but really there's no upgrade path...
[00:25] <tsimonq2> 18.04 is still in development.
[00:26] <tsimonq2> You could reinstall Lubuntu at 16.04 or upgrade to 17.10 and wait for 18.04 to come out.
[00:26] <Thedarkb> I'll do that then.
[00:27] <Thedarkb> I always thought versions were supported for a year for some reason.
[00:27] <tsimonq2> Meh, that's just rounding up fron 9 months ;)
[00:27] <Thedarkb> two years *
[00:28] <tsimonq2> Oh?
[00:28] <tsimonq2> (I don't get you here)
[00:29] <Thedarkb> I'm just dumb.
[00:29] <Thedarkb> Anyway, I can't run dist-upgrade because my install is broken and I can't fix my install because the repos 404.
[00:30] <Thedarkb> Any ideas?
[00:30] <tsimonq2> Well like I said before, the Zesty repo still exists
[00:30] <tsimonq2> It's just at old-releases.ubuntu.com
[00:30] <tsimonq2> So you just need to edit your sources.list with your favorite editor or sed to reflect that.
[00:31] <wxl> or use /etc/hosts to do it
[00:31] <Thedarkb> Oh, do-release-upgrade is a thing.
[00:31] <tsimonq2> wxl: Right, although I think that's a bit more hacky.
[00:31] <tsimonq2> Thedarkb: Right :)
[00:35] <Thedarkb> You have to download a total of 1,365 M. This download will take
[00:35] <Thedarkb> about 1 hour 43 minutes with your connection.
[00:36] <tsimonq2> Nice
[00:36] <Thedarkb> Let me make sure the debian netinst going on in the other room is done first..
[00:40] <Thedarkb> That it is.
[00:40] <Thedarkb> I assume I can continue using the computer for the time being?
[00:41] <Thedarkb> While it's downloading.
[00:43] <tsimonq2> Yep
[00:43] <tsimonq2> Although packages might change from out under you...
[00:43] <tsimonq2> (shouldn't really affect usability, worst case scenario, restart the program)
[00:43] <Thedarkb> That won't be a problem.
[00:44] <Thedarkb> I'm just going to listen to a podcast and hopefully fall asleep while it does its thing overnight.
[00:44] <tsimonq2> Alright, cool :)
[15:28] <thelinuxbox> hi
[15:54] <Major_> hey guys
[15:55] <Major_> i'm getting a corrupted screen while booting from virtualbox 5.2.6
[15:55] <Major_> it happens after choosing the language and choosing to install
[15:56] <Major_> ok fiexed it by awitichng from gui to terminal and back
[17:07] <cdeon> Hi, newbie here I have lubuntu 17.04 and am trying to update to lubuntu 17.10 but the software updater tells me there is an internet connection problem but I have internet
[17:08] <cdeon> And when I try to do sudo  apt-get update I am getting all 404 repos
[17:08] <cdeon> Thanks in advance for the help
[17:09] <cdeon> I think my 17.04 lubuntu cannot reach the repos where the lubuntu 17.10 update is located
 .
[18:18] <Thedarkb> I just upgraded to 17.10 and I'm delighted because my trackpoint works properly.
[18:18] <redwolf> cdeon, I think that's the EOL of Lubuntu Zesty
[18:19] <Thedarkb> Yeah, it's dead.
[18:19] <Thedarkb> I'm waiting for the LTS and I won't upgrade for a few years.
[18:19] <redwolf> it's better to upgrade
[18:19] <Thedarkb> Why?
[18:20] <redwolf> because of the reasonable advantages of having a recent system, with support and new drivers
[18:20] <redwolf> not only the LTS are good :)
[18:20] <Thedarkb> I don't need new drivers.
[18:20] <Thedarkb> All of my hardware is old.
[18:20] <Thedarkb> That's why I run Lubuntu.
[18:21] <redwolf> maybe an optimised core, updated software...?
[18:21] <redwolf> don't worry, Lubuntu is still not resource hungry
[18:21] <Thedarkb> LXPanel is getting bloated in my opinion.
[18:21] <Thedarkb> 34mb is a lot of ram for a taskbar to be using.
[18:22] <redwolf> how much ram do you have?
[18:22] <Thedarkb> 256mb
[18:23] <Thedarkb> I switched to fbpanel.
[18:23] <redwolf> that's a little, yes
[18:27] <cdeon> redwolf, yeah I know it is EOL but how can I upgrade to 17.10 from my 17.04 version?
[18:28] <cdeon> Becuase it looks like the 17.04 repo urls are dead and won't let me upgrade to 17.10 as instructed by the lubuntu blog youtube instructions
[18:28] <redwolf> try: sudo do-release-upgrade
[18:29] <redwolf> but there's a way to keep using old ones, but I can't recall how. tsimonq2 knows ;)
[18:29] <Thedarkb> Yeah, fbpanel uses 7.3mb RAM
[18:29] <cdeon> this is what I got from do-release-update -> Checking for a new Ubuntu release. No new release found.
[18:29] <Thedarkb> Maybe I'll release a remix called fubuntu or something.
[18:29] <redwolf> BUT our friend Chyken made this awesome video:
[18:30] <redwolf> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhdQIzyscGw
[18:30] <cdeon> I followed that, but the software updater tells me internet connection (I have internet, actually chatting from the lubuntu right now) and through terminal I get a bunch of 404s
[18:31] <cdeon> sorry software updater tells me no internet connection*
[18:32] <redwolf> yes, when I had the same problem I had to use a USB and make a clean install
[18:33] <cdeon> okok, I see. Will do a clean install then. Here is the exact message from the software updater anyhow -> Failed to download repository information. Check your internet connection.
[18:34] <redwolf> yup, I got same in an laptop yesterday
[18:35] <cdeon> ok, thanks for your help redwolf!
[18:35] <redwolf> I'm sorry I can't help more
[18:36] <cdeon> no worries
