[00:04] I think I broke my apt sources. [00:13] You edited /etc/apt/sources.list ? [00:13] Yeah. [00:14] How do I restore the default repositories? - Ask Ubuntu [00:14] https://askubuntu.com/questions/124017/how-do-i-restore-the-default-repositories#192388 [00:15] Thanks. [00:16] You're welcome :) [00:23] E:The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-security Release' does no longer have a Release file., W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty Release' does no longer have a Release file., W:Updating from such a [00:23] repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-updates Release' does no longer have a Release file. [00:23] Huh? [00:23] That paste might have been a bit big. [00:23] Lubuntu 17.04 reached End of Life a week ago: https://lubuntu.me/zesty-eol/ [00:23] (and it's np about the paste) [00:24] Oh. [00:24] Yes, you need to upgrade [00:24] 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] I'll go for an LTS this time. [00:24] (in sources.list) [00:25] Sure, but really there's no upgrade path... [00:25] 18.04 is still in development. [00:26] You could reinstall Lubuntu at 16.04 or upgrade to 17.10 and wait for 18.04 to come out. [00:26] I'll do that then. [00:27] I always thought versions were supported for a year for some reason. [00:27] Meh, that's just rounding up fron 9 months ;) [00:27] two years * [00:28] Oh? [00:28] (I don't get you here) [00:29] I'm just dumb. [00:29] 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] Any ideas? [00:30] Well like I said before, the Zesty repo still exists [00:30] It's just at old-releases.ubuntu.com [00:30] So you just need to edit your sources.list with your favorite editor or sed to reflect that. [00:31] or use /etc/hosts to do it [00:31] Oh, do-release-upgrade is a thing. [00:31] wxl: Right, although I think that's a bit more hacky. [00:31] Thedarkb: Right :) [00:35] You have to download a total of 1,365 M. This download will take [00:35] about 1 hour 43 minutes with your connection. [00:36] Nice [00:36] Let me make sure the debian netinst going on in the other room is done first.. [00:40] That it is. [00:40] I assume I can continue using the computer for the time being? [00:41] While it's downloading. [00:43] Yep [00:43] Although packages might change from out under you... [00:43] (shouldn't really affect usability, worst case scenario, restart the program) [00:43] That won't be a problem. [00:44] I'm just going to listen to a podcast and hopefully fall asleep while it does its thing overnight. [00:44] Alright, cool :) === BrAsS_mOnKeY is now known as william [15:28] hi [15:54] hey guys [15:55] i'm getting a corrupted screen while booting from virtualbox 5.2.6 [15:55] it happens after choosing the language and choosing to install [15:56] ok fiexed it by awitichng from gui to terminal and back [17:07] 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] And when I try to do sudo apt-get update I am getting all 404 repos [17:08] Thanks in advance for the help [17:09] I think my 17.04 lubuntu cannot reach the repos where the lubuntu 17.10 update is located [18:18] . [18:18] I just upgraded to 17.10 and I'm delighted because my trackpoint works properly. [18:18] cdeon, I think that's the EOL of Lubuntu Zesty [18:19] Yeah, it's dead. [18:19] I'm waiting for the LTS and I won't upgrade for a few years. [18:19] it's better to upgrade [18:19] Why? [18:20] because of the reasonable advantages of having a recent system, with support and new drivers [18:20] not only the LTS are good :) [18:20] I don't need new drivers. [18:20] All of my hardware is old. [18:20] That's why I run Lubuntu. [18:21] maybe an optimised core, updated software...? [18:21] don't worry, Lubuntu is still not resource hungry [18:21] LXPanel is getting bloated in my opinion. [18:21] 34mb is a lot of ram for a taskbar to be using. [18:22] how much ram do you have? [18:22] 256mb [18:23] I switched to fbpanel. [18:23] that's a little, yes [18:27] redwolf, yeah I know it is EOL but how can I upgrade to 17.10 from my 17.04 version? [18:28] 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] try: sudo do-release-upgrade [18:29] but there's a way to keep using old ones, but I can't recall how. tsimonq2 knows ;) [18:29] Yeah, fbpanel uses 7.3mb RAM [18:29] this is what I got from do-release-update -> Checking for a new Ubuntu release. No new release found. [18:29] Maybe I'll release a remix called fubuntu or something. [18:29] BUT our friend Chyken made this awesome video: [18:30] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhdQIzyscGw [18:30] 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] sorry software updater tells me no internet connection* [18:32] yes, when I had the same problem I had to use a USB and make a clean install [18:33] 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] yup, I got same in an laptop yesterday [18:35] ok, thanks for your help redwolf! [18:35] I'm sorry I can't help more [18:36] no worries [20:34] !eolupgrade | cdeon [20:34] cdeon: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.
