[05:43] <GizmoRomick> I am running Ubuntu 16.04 using the Plasma 5 desktop.  I used to be able to mount my NAS smb share to a folder in my home folder using "sudo mount -t cifs -o...", but now I get mount error(5): Input/output error.  Any idea what may be causing this?
[06:48] <someone_> Hi, I noticed recently on my kubuntu 16.04 there are more than process are repeated with different id such as bioset it is repeated 11 times, Is there any explanation for this ?
[06:50] <hateball> someone_: it's a kernel process
[06:51] <hateball> someone_: see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/272922
[06:51] <someone_> ok , but Why it is repeated ?
[06:51] <someone_> it is not the only process which is repeated.
[06:52] <hateball> I think it spawns a new process each time you mount a block device or something like that
[06:52] <hateball> anyhow it should be nothing to worry about
[06:55] <someone_> hateball I restart the computer but the problem did not solve, all these processes are rpeted now in my kubuntu 16.04 : smbd , file.os , avahi-daemon: , dbus-launch.
[07:02] <valorie> someone_: that's how your computer works
[07:02] <valorie> it can't just sit there
[07:02] <valorie> it does stuff
[07:03] <valorie> avahi for instance listens to your local network
[07:03] <valorie> this is not a problem
[07:05] <someone_> valorie I don't know what the benefit of avahi-daemon: ,  Can I stop it ?
[07:06] <valorie> why would you stop it?
[07:06] <valorie> it's part of what makes your computer "smart"
[07:07] <valorie> your car has brakes even when you aren't using them
[07:08] <valorie> the speedometer has a readout even when you aren't looking at it
[07:09] <someone_> Ok , Thank you .
[07:11] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:49] <marcpv> hi
[09:50] <marcpv> please, how can I unplug my phone safely? I see the icon in the tray but no remove option there
[09:55] <lordievader> Is it mounted?
[09:56] <marcpv> yes, I can see it in dolphin
[09:56] <lordievader> Unmount it and unplug
[09:56] <marcpv> how?
[09:56] <hateball> should be a little icon with an arrow that means unmount
[09:57] <marcpv> I don't see it. I guess you mean the same as in USB drive
[10:00] <hateball> !paste | marcpv
[10:00] <hateball> show us a screenshot of what you see
[10:03] <marcpv> https://imgur.com/a/EUVMj
[10:04] <marcpv> It's in catalan, sorry ;)
[10:10] <hateball> marcpv: well is anything mounted at all?
[10:10] <hateball> if you only plug the phone in but then dont press to open in eg Dolphin, there is nothing to unmount
[10:11] <hateball> so you can just unplug it
[10:23] <marcpv> thanks, I just did, went right. But I opened it on Dolphin before...
[10:24] <marcpv> Have to go now, thanks very much
[11:34] <iskorptix> hey, I'm trying to upgrade from 17.04 to 17.10, so running 'kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE"' , but upgrade fails with this error: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9076489 , how I fix this error or is there another way how I can upgrade to 17.10 ?
[11:38] <hateball> !eolupgrade | iskorptix
[11:45] <acheronuk> iskorptix: you have the release names of debian releases in you sources it seems from that paste. very odd. remove them
[12:34] <iskorptix> acheronuk: 17.04 is now EOL, how I can upgrade to latest 17.10 ?
[12:36] <acheronuk> iskorptix: remove the bogus source entries. then upgrades should hopefully work
[12:39] <acheronuk> there is no ubuntu release called 'stable' or 'jessie', those are debian, but the errors from your paste show that apt is looking for those releases in the ubuntu archive
[12:39] <acheronuk> so you must have wrong entries in /etc/apt/sources.list or a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[12:43] <iskorptix> acheronuk: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9076498
[12:43] <iskorptix> can you please have a look ?
[12:44] <oerheks> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jessie/main/binary-amd64/Packages HuH?? a frankenstein debian-ubuntu ?
[12:44] <hateball> well, it also says zetsy and not zesty
[12:46] <acheronuk> yeah, zetsy would not help
[12:51] <iskorptix> acheronuk: so the only way to upgrade is fresh install ?
[12:52] <iskorptix> I'm really angry on those fucks who basically blocked releasing new isos and gave very little time to upgrade to 17.10
[12:53] <lordievader> iskorptix: Watch your language.
[12:53] <iskorptix> jaja
[12:53] <lordievader> You have 3 months to upgrade. That is plenty of time. If you don't want that, use an LTS release.
[12:54] <lordievader> Anyhow, as linked before https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades describes the upgrade procedure from an EOL release.
[12:54] <iskorptix> lordievader: 17.10 isos were blocked for a long time due to some issues with lenovo laptops if you dont remember
[12:55] <iskorptix> and your your link sucks
[12:55] <iskorptix> as I been trying to upgrade to 17.10 from 17.04 using those instructions all morning , but failed
[12:55] <iskorptix> and it has nothing to do with me
[12:55] <iskorptix> basically I just failed to upgrade to 17.10 within 1 week time
[12:56] <lordievader> Could you pastebin your `/etc/apt/sources.list` and any file in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d`?
[12:56] <hateball> iskorptix: there is a typo in your sources like I said, it says zetsy and not zesty
[12:56] <hateball> so that wont work too well
[13:00] <iskorptix> lordievader: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9076499 my sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d is emptyu
[13:00] <iskorptix> ah let me check
[13:01] <acheronuk> iskorptix: you have misspelled zesty as zetsy
[13:01] <iskorptix> yep, fixing now
[13:01] <lordievader> iskorptix: Like hateball says, change zetsy to zesty. Then run `sudo apt-get update` and `sudo apt full-upgrade`.
[13:02] <lordievader> That should get you to Zesty.
[13:02] <lordievader> Reboot and voila.
[13:02] <iskorptix> https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9076500
[13:03] <iskorptix> I guess I need to modify sources.list again to include 17.10 packages ?
[13:03] <iskorptix> lordievader, acheronuk ^
[13:03] <iskorptix> hateball ^
[13:04] <acheronuk> sudo do-release-upgrade
[13:04] <acheronuk> that 'should' do it for you now sources.list for EOL zesty is fixed
[13:04] <lordievader> iskorptix: Now you can run the `sudo do-release-upgrade` command.
[13:05] <iskorptix> thanks guys, running that thing now
[13:06] <acheronuk> fingers crossed....
[13:08] <iskorptix> ;)
[13:19] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[16:20] <[Relic]> nvidia 384 still works with the new linux images but not anything higher, did I miss something or is this just the same as the last update?
 https://twitter.com/MozillaReleases/status/955829438964527105
[21:20] <jubo2> Hello and Big Thank You Thank Yous for the awesome Linux flavour
[21:21] <jubo2> I ain't got a technical problem this time.
[21:22] <jubo2> I need to install Kubuntu for a friend who is total novice when it comes to computers and he lives far away and I do not know if I will be able to visit him before July 2018 after I've given him the machine
[21:23] <jubo2> What do I "lose" if I install 16.04.3 LTS for him? I mean will there be less software available or something like that?
[21:27] <jubo2> 17.10 support ends July 2018. How is it that short..? that's only 9 months.
[21:35] <valorie> jubo2: because LTS is LTS
[21:35] <valorie> next one comes out in April
[21:35] <valorie> or March
[21:35] <valorie> !support
[21:35] <valorie> pfff
[21:36] <valorie> april, yeah
[21:37] <jubo2> When in April?
[21:37] <valorie> as for what you "lose" by using LTS -- you lose the newest software
[21:37] <valorie> but the base and what versions you have will continue to get security upgrades
[21:37] <valorie> and some things are backported if we test them and they are working well
[21:38] <valorie> April 26th
[21:38] <valorie> ￼ FinalRelease, ￼ Ubuntu
[21:38] <valorie> of 18.04
[21:38] <valorie> it becomes LTS at the .1 release a few months later
[21:39] <valorie> about the same time 16.04.3 becomes 16.04.4
[21:39] <valorie> so at that point one can do a lts > lts move if desired
[21:40] <valorie> jubo2: probably around the same time 17.10 becomes eol
[21:41] <valorie> the point releases come out
[21:42] <jubo2> ok valorie. thank you for your information
[21:42] <jubo2> I've never done a version upgrade. I just put in new disk, install clean and then get all the relevant stuff from the old disk with a USB-TO-SATAIII encasing
[21:43] <valorie> that is certainly the "cleanest" way
[21:43] <valorie> and probably fastest as well
[21:43] <jubo2> So how likely is that a 16.04 -> 18.04 dist upgrade will go so smoothly I can give instructions in chat?
[21:44] <valorie> very likely
[21:44] <valorie> it's just slower
[21:44] <valorie> 14.04 > 16.04 was the problem one
[21:45] <valorie> since it moved from kde4 to Plasma 5 and Frameworks 5
[21:45] <valorie> I did it, but it was difficult
[21:50] <jubo2> valorie: Ok and once again thank you for the information
[21:51] <jubo2> I think I install 16.04.3 for him and once the 18.04.1 comes out I give him the instructions of how to do it and cross fingers that nothing breaks
[21:51] <jubo2> *it == dist upgrade
[22:08] <valorie> jubo2: well, LTS upgrade
[22:08] <valorie> "dist-upgrade" to apt-get is just "upgrade apps too"
[22:08] <valorie> which is why I prefer and use apt full-upgrade these days
