[15:55] Kilos: Langjan ok, then add "deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt xenial main restricted universe multiverse" instead [15:55] in the /etc/apt/sources.list [15:55] ty pav [15:56] y [15:56] Langjan: copy paste this /etc/apt/sources.list [15:56] Langjan: copy paste nano /etc/apt/sources.list [15:57] Did ctrl+x and y but terminal says theres a process running. [15:57] Langjan: is the synaptic package manager open? [15:58] no [15:59] Asking for file name to write [16:01] Langjan: sorry, you supposed to use sudo before nano, coz that file is owned by root [16:01] pavlushka, should I enter a file name? [16:02] Terminal wont close [16:02] lol [16:02] its busy [16:02] Langjan: no, dont give a file name and dont close the terminal [16:02] oh ok thks pavlushka [16:03] Langjan: press N instead of y [16:04] Langjan: and re-open it using "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and put in the beginning "deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt xenial main restricted universe multiverse" [16:04] pavlushka, I have already pressed y [16:06] Langjan: lol, then check it by re-opening it using "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and is your edit is there or not [16:07] ok done [16:08] edit is there [16:08] Langjan: what ? the line "deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt xenial main restricted universe multiverse" is there? [16:10] yes pavlushka [16:11] cool beans [16:11] Langjan: try "sudo dpkg -l apt-mirror" to see it its in your system already, otherwise you have to install it. [16:11] Langjan: you getting better all the time. you dont break things so much anymore [16:13] pavlushka, no packages found matching apt-mirror [16:13] * pavlushka has in his mind "sudo apt install apt-miror" [16:13] * pavlushka has in his mind "sudo apt install apt-mirror" [16:13] apt-mirror [16:14] done [16:14] Langjan: now run "sudo apt-mirror" [16:14] Maaz: tell inetpro you need to show your face more often sir [16:14] Kilos: Got it, I'll tell inetpro on freenode [16:16] running pavlushka [16:17] Langjan: press "ctrl+c" [16:18] ok done pavlushka [16:20] Langjan: and then run "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and put # before your added lines and then just add these lines above them "deb http://mirror.wiru.co.za/ubuntu/ YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main" and "deb-src http://mirror.wiru.co.za/ubuntu/ YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main " [16:21] Langjan: and then run "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and put # before your added lines and then just add these lines above them "deb http://mirror.wiru.co.za/ubuntu/ xenial main" and "deb-src http://mirror.wiru.co.za/ubuntu/ xenial main " [16:22] Langjan: oops again, the later one is for you [16:23] pavlushka, must I put # in front of the newly added lines as well?sg [16:24] Langjan: no, those were to deactivate the previous ones [16:25] so I have # only in front of deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt xenial main restricted universe multiverse [16:25] Langjan: and save and close it and run "sudo apt update" [16:26] with ctrl + x and y ? Does not close [16:26] Langjan: what it says? [16:27] There is a process running in terminal [16:29] Langjan: can you share a screenshot? [16:30] Langjan: what "ps aux | grep apt-mirror" says? [16:31] Am sure I can if I know how [16:31] Langjan: for screenshot, you can press your keyboard's "print Sc" button [16:31] jan 353 0.0 0.0 14220 1080 pts/18 S+ 18:31 0:00 grep --color=auto apt-mirror [16:32] OK but how to share it? [16:32] Langjan: that button is supposed to be above the insert button [16:33] Langjan: upload it on http://pasteboard.co [16:33] and share the uploaded pic link [16:36] pavlushka, pasteboard says copy and paste or drag and drop but does not work. [16:37] Langjan: you have the screenshot saved as a picture file in your machine after pressing that "prnt scr" button? [16:38] https://pasteboard.co/Hl0Mltc.png [16:39] https://pasteboard.co/Hl0N4EY.png [16:42] pavlushka, Is this the one you want to see? https://pasteboard.co/Hl0NTIF.png [16:47] Langjan: good, now put # (hash) before those last three lines too in /etc/apt/sources.list [16:47] and save and clone [16:48] close [16:48] Langjan: but leave the line with security unhashed [16:49] pavlushka, unable to edit the file [16:49] Langjan: use "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" [16:50] pavlushka, must I close that open terminal? [16:50] Langjan: put hash on last and 3rd last lines [16:51] Langjan: yes, ctrl+x and then N [16:51] Langjan: then use "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" [16:52] Langjan: put hash on last and 3rd last lines [16:52] it's already saved but not closed, says procss is running [16:52] Langjan: close all the terminals [16:53] Langjan: and then press "ctrl+alt+t" [16:54] pavlushka now there are 4 lines with no # anywhere [16:56] so I presume I must put a # before first, second and last lines? [16:57] Langjan: no,the # should be on 3rd, 4rth and 6th lines [16:57] line [16:57] pavlushka, as I said, there are only three lines now [16:58] sorry, four [17:02] Langjan: paste all the lines here https://bin.snyman.info/ and share the link [17:07] pavlushka, here it is: https://pasteboard.co/Hl0Y2gK.png [17:10] Langjan: add this line above them there "deb http://mirror.wiru.co.za/ubuntu/ xenial main" [17:10] Langjan: add this line "deb http://mirror.wiru.co.za/ubuntu/ xenial main" above them there [17:10] https://bin.snyman.info/mmmcf67v [17:10] correction [17:11] Langjan: add this line "deb http://mirror.wiru.co.za/ubuntu/ xenial main" above them there [17:11] ok [17:12] Langjan: give us a paste [17:14] OK now I have five lines none of which have # in front. Which ones must I mark? [17:16] https://bin.snyman.info/mmm4c5zm [17:22] pavlushka, https://bin.snyman.info/mmm4c5zm [17:24] Langjan: your /etc/apt/sources.list file supposed to look like this https://bin.snyman.info/raw/mmm4bba5 [17:26] Langjan: Done?
