|---|---|---|
| muskan | I'm having trouble installing virtualbox | 11:43 |
| muskan | I'm using ubuntu-gnome 16.10 | 11:44 |
| muskan | and i'm getting dpkg error of "package libqt5opengl5 and libqt5opengl5-gles not installed" | 11:44 |
| muskan | i tried to install libqt5opengl5 using "apt-get insall" but getting error of "package has no installation candidate" | 11:45 |
| muskan | I'm a newbie to ubuntu and don't know how to fix the installtion | 11:46 |
| muskan | can anyone help ? | 11:48 |
| jbicha | muskan: Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 has reached end of life. You need to upgrade to 17.04 or reinstall 16.04 | 11:58 |
| muskan | oh ! | 12:00 |
| muskan | isn't there any way to fix the installtion without upgrading the os ? | 12:01 |
| jbicha | oops, I mean you need to upgrade to 17.10 (or reinstall 16.04) | 12:01 |
| muskan | i got it | 12:01 |
| jbicha | there is a workaround, but 16.10 has been unsupported for a year so it suffers from known security vulnerabilities | 12:02 |
| jbicha | unsupported for 6 months actually | 12:02 |
| jbicha | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 12:02 |
| muskan | okay | 12:03 |
| muskan | so i better upgrade the os right ? | 12:05 |
| jbicha | yes | 12:05 |
| jbicha | basically if you don't want to upgrade about twice per year, you should stick to the LTS releases | 12:06 |
| muskan | okay | 12:06 |
| jbicha | each non-LTS release is only supported for about 8-9 months | 12:06 |
| muskan | okay | 12:10 |
| muskan | I'm upgrading to 17.10 | 12:10 |
| muskan | thank you jibicha | 12:10 |
| tabbed | hi! can anyone tell me why the download for ubuntu-gnome release 17.04 is not accessible anymore? | 19:36 |
| jbicha | Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 is End of Life https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases you should upgrade to 17.10 | 19:40 |
| tabbed | i know that - i have 2 systems, system A failed to upgrade from 17.04 to 17.10 a few weeks ago. system B is still running 17.04. now i wanted to install 17.04 on system A again and wait for ubuntu 18 to try the upgrade there again... | 19:48 |
| tabbed | dont wanna touch system B before everything went fine on system A - unfortunately i don't have the iso of 17.04 anymore | 19:49 |
