kinghatso i upgraded from 18.04.1 to 18.10 and it disabled sources during the upgrade. should i enable the sources that were disabled? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/9snA0aIg/image.png02:40
valorieI would check with each PPA to see if 1. you still need them and 2. if they have Cosmic packages02:44
Bashing-omkinghat: pastebin ' tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ' and we have a dissertation on how to know what can be re-enabled.02:44
valorieppas are auto-disabled02:44
valoriealways02:44
kinghathttp://paste.debian.net/hidden/f4e36ba8/02:55
Bashing-omkinghat: looking .02:59
kinghatis it odd that discover has some enabled but the software sources doesnt? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/CQlkFxXy/image.png03:00
Bashing-omkinghat: Befor I look at that last .. in your browser open " http://ppa.launchpad.net/danielrichter2007/grub-customizer/ubuntu/ " and open "dists/". now you see that 18.10 is supported by this PPA and can be enabled.03:03
Bashing-omkinghat: The repos ( main, universe, multiverse ) are not the same as a PPA .03:06
kinghatcan i remove all of the repos with bionic?03:07
Bashing-omkinghat: where as this PPA " http://ppa.launchpad.net/gezakovacs/ppa/ubuntu " is not supported .03:07
kinghatthe *verse ones.03:07
Bashing-omkinghat: IF ya do remove the repos,, then no updates and no security fixes !  UN-Good .03:08
kinghati mean the bionic ones. how would i get updates/security fixes from them if they are disabled?03:09
Bashing-omoh! .. sheeshh ,, did not have my thinkong cap on .. Yeah you are on cosmic ! ' lsb_relase -a ' to confirm .. and if cosmic then YES - disable bionic .03:15
Bashing-omlsb_release -a **03:16
kinghat`lsb_release -a` worked fine. yes its cosmic - 18.10. but i knew that.03:17
kinghatalso they are already disabled as you can see in the last image i posted. im just asking if i can delete them?03:18
Bashing-omkinghat: :) .. but I did not know for sure .. I work terminal mostly rather than GUI and thus I can get lost in what we are looking at .03:19
kinghatnp. its late here too. i didnt know if you were messing with me or not.03:19
Bashing-omkinghat: Delete bionic sources, yes .03:20
Bashing-omkinghat: I do not mess around, and try real hard not to mislead :P I got a reputation to protect :)03:22
kinghathah np.03:23
kinghathere is everything thats left: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/nPmc2Nih/image.png03:23
Bashing-omkinghat: looking.03:23
Bashing-omkinghat: Gimme a bit as I can not work easily from an image .03:24
kinghatBashing-om: i ran `tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*` again and this was the output: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/ab478ce8/03:26
Bashing-omkinghat: On the origninal past of the sources.list/d .. there is obly that one that is stol good .. but I do not know about " http://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode " . nor have I verified goggle chrome .03:30
kinghatthey are legit03:31
Bashing-omkinghat: " deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/danielrichter2007/grub-customizer/ubuntu" is good in cosmic too, if you still want it . But I find those kinds of aids can cause more trouble than they fix .03:34
kinghati removed it and added it again. it not says cosmic properly.03:37
Bashing-omkinghat: It should read " deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/danielrichter2007/grub-customizer/ubuntu cosmic main " .03:39
kinghatit does03:40
kinghatnot sure why this says `http://ppa.launchpad.net/gezakovacs/ppa/ubuntu/ cosmic main` when there isnt a cosmic folder.03:41
kinghatsays bionic in discover: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/AH9rPWIx/image.png03:43
Bashing-omkinghat: I do not see "bionic" on any of the sources within "other software" (??).03:48
Bashing-omkinghat: The folder "apt/sources.list.d/" is to comtain all the 3rd party source list files .03:52
kinghatBashing-om: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/bn2fBIb6/image.png04:05
Bashing-omkinghat: Looks fair .. but I do not think backports repo is available for cosmic to this time. What results: ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' ?04:08
kinghatBashing-om: i already removed that source and added it back: http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu/dists/cosmic/04:10
kinghatthere are sources still in sources.list.d that ive already removed. how do i get rid of those? it wont let me delete them04:11
Bashing-omkinghat: The GUI has no means to delete the entries - what it does is comment the entry (#) so it is not parsed . To completely remove takes the terminal .04:13
kinghatBashing-om: `sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nameofrepo.list`?04:17
valorieoh dear, please don't do that04:18
valorieedit it if you feel you must, but do not simply remove it04:19
kinghati cant remove them from that dir w/o doing that though..04:20
valorieif they are commented out they do no harm04:21
kinghatis it even bad to have a 3rd party source for an app of a different version of ubuntu?04:23
kinghati mean the app will work on both of these versions.04:24
valorieno?04:24
kinghatit only matters for the OS sources, correct?04:24
valoriethat's the point of flavors04:24
valorielots of offerings04:24
valoriesometimes there are "warring libraries" but not often04:24
valorieyou can even install multiple desktops, although that can get tangled04:25
kinghati mean if i have a firefox ppa for bionic, its not a big deal that its still pointing at bionic when on cosmic is it?04:25
kinghatoh i see.04:25
valorieoh, different version number04:25
valorieif the ff ppa has no cosmic packages, you won't get updates until it does04:26
valorieif ever04:26
kinghatspeaking of which, isnt there an up2date firefox repo for ubuntu/kubuntu?04:27
kinghatthats why i was using the security ppa for ff04:27
valoriewhy do you say ff is out of date?04:27
valorie!info firefox cosmic04:28
ubottufirefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 62.0.3+build1-0ubuntu1 (cosmic), package size 45596 kB, installed size 172080 kB04:28
Bashing-om!info firefox cosmic04:28
kinghatif i was getting my ff through that ppa do i have to remove the source and remove ff and start fresh with the main ubuntu repo version?04:30
valorieno04:30
kinghatwill the main repo start updating it?04:31
valorieyes04:31
valorieunless it was called something else04:31
valoriefirefox is in main and you can see the version above04:32
kinghathow do i check they are the same name?04:32
valoriein your terminal, apt show firefox04:33
valorieor apt-cache policy firefox04:33
kinghathttp://paste.debian.net/hidden/1a08259e/04:33
valorieso the same04:35
valorieyou're fine without the ppa04:35
kinghati can probably remove 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu/'04:35
kinghatk04:35
valoriecould have been ahead for awhile04:35
valoriebut it isn't now04:35
valorieI don't use ff much anymore now that falkon works everywhere for me04:36
kinghateverywhere?04:38
valorieso far, yes04:38
valorieall the sites I use04:38
valorieincluding my bank04:38
kinghati use a lot of extensions and sync. and i really like chrome.04:39
kinghati think brave is going to be nice once they catch up because its just chrome w/o all the google. but you get sync and all the extensions.04:39
valorieI do use chrome sometimes for the addons that are available only for it04:39
valorieI do genealogy and some of those addons are really handy04:40
valoriebut that is rare04:40
kinghatah. like the ancestry stuffs?04:40
valorieyes, there are addons for all the major sites - ancestry, familytreedna and 23andme04:41
kinghatah04:42
kinghatok thanks for the help valorie/Bashing-om. have a good one!04:42
