| flocculant | bluesabre ochosi - thought I'd come back on yesterdays nightmare ... | 09:49 |
| flocculant | it got worse ;) | 09:49 |
| flocculant | woke up this morning to no working installs | 09:49 |
| bluesabre | flocculant: yikes | 09:50 |
| flocculant | cosmic is still foobar - this one I reinstalled, thankfully I've always got a stick with one of our releases on it - so reinstalled 18.04.1 ... | 09:50 |
| bluesabre | is the breakage limited to us? | 09:51 |
| flocculant | it seems to be hating an hdd | 09:51 |
| flocculant | so it could well be hardware | 09:51 |
| flocculant | bluesabre: no idea - not been able to look if it is the pixbuf update | 09:51 |
| flocculant | though if I mount the hdd in a cradle and usb3 it - it's fine and gdisk doesn't complain about it | 09:52 |
| bluesabre | I have a cosmic vm from 12 days ago, I can test with it | 09:52 |
| flocculant | if you could do that - that would be great - all my iso's etc are on the hdd on the desk :D | 09:53 |
| flocculant | if nothing else it'll prove the updates are ok :p | 09:54 |
| flocculant | hopefully back in a bit | 09:58 |
| flocculant | man intel graphics really aren't too good here ... originally I wondered if it was the nvidia card dying - rather than something disky | 10:03 |
| bluesabre | updates almost done running | 10:05 |
| bluesabre | had 286 new packages | 10:05 |
| flocculant | ha ha | 10:07 |
| flocculant | I assume there was gdk-pixbuf in the list? | 10:07 |
| bluesabre | yeah | 10:07 |
| bluesabre | among other g*k things | 10:07 |
| flocculant | yea | 10:08 |
| flocculant | it balked when setting it up here - and got the warning I pastebinned | 10:08 |
| bluesabre | looks like it booted and logged in | 10:09 |
| flocculant | that's good - just me knackered | 10:09 |
| flocculant | due a reinstall - managed a whole dev cycle without it last time \o/ | 10:10 |
| flocculant | bit confused why I can mount the hdd fine in a cradle - but not in the machine, unless the sata cable is breaking down | 10:11 |
| bluesabre | seems strange | 10:12 |
| bluesabre | can you boot from the cradle? | 10:12 |
| flocculant | and I can see why the gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders command fails | 10:12 |
| flocculant | it's a data drive | 10:12 |
| bluesabre | ah, gotcha | 10:12 |
| flocculant | from the changelog > Remove /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders symlink from -dev package. | 10:12 |
| flocculant | so lets remove that - but not the directive to use it if something breaks ... | 10:13 |
| flocculant | sigh | 10:13 |
| flocculant | right - going to take the desktop apart and put this drive back in ... could be some time - thankfully it's a public holiday today | 10:18 |
| flocculant | so that's ok now | 10:25 |
| flocculant | apparently ... | 10:26 |
| brainwash | bluesabre: any final thought on bug 1754872 ? | 10:49 |
| ubottu | bug 1754872 in xubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "apt install xubuntu-desktop does not resolve dependencies properly" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1754872 | 10:49 |
| flocculant | bluesabre: gremlins ... | 11:01 |
| flocculant | brainwash: hi :) | 11:01 |
| flocculant | bluesabre: reinstalled cosmic - so whatever it was is gone now - but I did report the pixbuf symlink issue | 11:02 |
| brainwash | hello flocculant | 11:49 |
| ochosi | flocculant: good to hear, i'll also try updating packages again tonight then ;) | 14:59 |
| flocculant | :) | 16:02 |
| Spass | flocculant, my VM 18.10 install works good here, but I update it pretty regularly, I can try on my "real" 18.10 install on a different disk, that one I didn't upgrade in quite some time | 16:58 |
| Spass | I'll check that now, brb | 17:00 |
| Spass | my HDD 18.10 install seems to work fine, over 450 packages were upgraded - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2bbwc2cmFG/ | 17:37 |
| Spass | btw, it looks like a mess after I was testing that nasty "screen edge" issue - https://ibb.co/e8JRNp | 17:38 |
| Spass | and after that 450+ packages and reboot I just needed to do full-upgrade with these - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TGMgVynsXB/ | 17:39 |
| flocculant | Spass: yea - pretty much convinced it was a local hw issue given that 18.04 gave up on me too | 18:53 |
| flocculant | ochosi: :) glad it turned out to be me only - but thought I would say something just in case ... | 18:54 |
| flocculant | well actually - I'd rather it was global - seem to have dodgy 3Tb drive ... | 18:55 |
| flocculant | but you know :D | 18:55 |
| ochosi | flocculant: yeah, thanks for mentioning it anyway! | 21:26 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: Is there a reason we're behind on xfce4-settings? | 23:43 |
| bluesabre | Unit193: I think debian was running behind because the latest release was minor... maybe? | 23:48 |
| Unit193 | Not according to my page, Debian already has it. I thought there was some slight issue. | 23:48 |
