[05:51] <Fritigern> When I attempt a kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade to try and install the current beta for Bionic Beaver, it fails with this error message (see screenshot https://ibb.co/iPSUs7). I have already attempted to disable all 3rd party repos, but that didn't help. Who has any good ideas for me?
[05:52] <hateball> Fritigern: bionic is in #ubuntu+1
[05:54] <Fritigern> Thank you, but this is not an issue with Bionic, it's an issue with Artful not wanting to upgrade to Bionic
[05:59] <acheronuk> firstly I would wait a little while, then try again. there are new plasma packages migrating from the -proposed to -release part of the repo, which can result in a short period where they seem to vanish completely and so are uninstallable
[06:00] <acheronuk> I had some archive tests fail because of that, which I am now re-running!
[06:04] <Fritigern> acheronuk: I have waited quite a while, over two weeks to be exact.
[06:06] <acheronuk> when did you try this upgrade?
[06:10] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:35] <Fritigern> acheronuk: I tried the upgrade earlier tonight. About an hour ago, I'd say. I have repeatedly tried to upgrade over the past two weeks or so
[07:39] <Fritigern> This is not my first time either. I have been a 'Buntu user since 2005 when I first installed Breezy Badger. I have used releases, RCs and betas with varying degrees of bugginess, but never did I have an installation fail with a vague message saying that "something went wrong, hurr durr"
[07:39] <acheronuk> Fritigern: just tried a couple from artful to bionic, with and without backports, with a full KDE install, and it had no problems calculating an upgrade
[07:39] <Fritigern> That's cool, but I DO have a problem.
[07:40] <acheronuk> yeah, and that helps narrow it down. e.g. it's not a core packaging issues
[07:40] <Fritigern> Perhaps unnescessary, but here it is anyway, THIS is the exact message I get: https://ibb.co/iPSUs7
[07:41] <acheronuk> what about with just 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d -m desktop' on the command line?
[07:56] <Fritigern> I get some more info from that. It still fails but in addition to the above message, it also tells me "Hold prevents MarkGarbage of <package_name>" for 36 packages. I've checked and none of them are version-locked
[08:16] <kustodian> I just updated all packages to the latest versions and now when I press ALT+F1,F2,... it switches to tty1, tty2, etc
[08:16] <kustodian> for example pressing ALT+F4 switches to tty4 and when I return back to tty7 it closes the window
[08:17] <kustodian> does anyone have an idea how to resolve this?
[08:25] <kustodian> and after a reboot everything is working find... mindfuck :D
[08:33] <Fritigern> URGH! In order to fix my issue I had to purge the following: subversion nutty scribus php7.0 mixxx libpython3.5 python3.5 krosspython uget kodi libtelegram-qt5 telepathy-morse megatools android-libadb krename libpodofo0.9.5 python3.5-minimal nmap kodi-bin libapache2-mod-php7.0 libpython3.5-stdlib libpython3.5-minimal secureboot-db sbsigntool
[08:36] <Fritigern> What I worry about most is having had to remove secureboot-db
[08:38] <Fritigern> !info secureboot-db
[09:27] <nessuno> ciao a tutti
[10:16] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[10:19] <kustodian> and now after a few minutes again when I press ALT+F1, ALT+F2,.... it switches to tty1, tty2 :(
[10:21] <BluesKaj> kustodian, that key combo should include the ctl key in order to bring up the VT/TTY
[10:21] <kustodian> BluesKaj: I know
[10:21] <kustodian> that's why I'm asking for help :(
[10:22] <BluesKaj> perhaps the ctl key is stuck
[10:22] <kustodian> hehe
[10:22] <kustodian> it's not
[10:22] <kustodian> I tested it
[10:22] <kustodian> I found an old bug which some still report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-cyrillic/+bug/520546
[10:24] <kustodian> it's supposably a bug in kbd_mode, but as far as I can see it happens if console-cyrillic is installed, but it's not installed on my systemd
[16:28] <john980> seems no one talks in here
 @john980, No not really its just a support chat
[16:30] <john980> I know, but seems no one is asking about anything
 @john980, Its intermittent
[16:31] <john980> oh, too bad, I tought someone could help me with a crashing kde desktop......Ill look for help somewhere else.......bye
 The group is rather small ish with only about 50 members
 @john980, What is happening
 @john980, I only discovered this group the other day.
