mx23good N. i need help00:44
mx23I want to record a Windows USB ISO in GTP, I can't find as00:47
mx23:(00:49
guivercmx23, we support Xubuntu here, not windows, and I don't know what you mean with GTP00:50
mx23MBR (Master Boot Record) or the GPT to create partitions on your hard drive. The GPT partition scheme is more modern and is required for system startup00:52
guivercthat's clearer, but you said GTP (not GPT). The MBR is the first 512 bytes of disk so easy; GPT generally refers to GUID partition table which can be many locations; often last 33 sectors (gpt header anyway) and a PMBR at the start of disk01:00
mx23sorry MR01:01
mx23I want to record a USB that works with GPT partitions; sorry mi bad english01:03
guivercmx23, sorry i can't help, but I note `UEFI booting does not involve any "boot" flag, booting relies solely on the boot entries in NVRAM.`  ie. some of info appears to be stored on an actual machine, not drive/usb  (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning#Master_Boot_Record_(partition_table)01:11
mx23Thank you very much Sir01:13
xubuntu59wusing plank, when I open panel preferences, it appears as an open app in plank, but when I close panel preferences, it still appears as an open app, even though, I've closed the panel preferences, is there a fix for this?01:38

tibykewhat is the proper way to upgrade xenial version to bionic from an external repository (percona). I still have xenial version but repo already updated to bionic.10:00
pmjdebruijnyou may want to eloborate10:02
pmjdebruijnpresumably you have a server on 16.04 that uses the percona ppa? and you want to do-release-upgrade that to 18.04 ?10:03
tibykeits already upgraded to bionic, all fine.10:03
pmjdebruijnok? then what's the issue?10:03
tibykethe percona.list was also upgraded (by percona-release binary)10:03
pmjdebruijnthat seems what you want, no?10:03
tibykehttps://pastebin.com/7SgcrY7A10:04
tibykethis10:04
pmjdebruijnthat's a broken ppa is my guess10:04
pmjdebruijnbecause version 5.7.26-29-1.xenial is higher than 5.7.26-29-1.bionic10:05
pmjdebruijnif you remove the packages, and then apt-get update, and then apt-get install them again, it should be fine after that10:05
pmjdebruijndo make sure to backup any data/configs10:05
tibykemkay, let me try it, thanks10:05
tibykeI thought there was an easier way :)10:05
pmjdebruijnbut this is why I avoid PPAs like the plague on production machines10:05
pmjdebruijntibyke: this is an error on the PPAs maintainers part10:06
tibykeyes, sure10:06
tibykeokay, it did the trick, thank you10:08
tibykeI still have some *xenial packages though. should I worry or just live with it?10:08
pmjdebruijntotally depend on what they are10:11
pmjdebruijnrun ubuntu-support-status10:12
qwebirc65069hello13:22

qwebirc65069I have trouble verifying ISO13:22
qwebirc65069I am trying to get key, but I get this message:  keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error13:23
qwebirc65069hello, just to check if I am still online13:27

ubottuqwebirc65069: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/13:28
qwebirc65069I see ok13:29
qwebirc65069By the way that error message "gpg: keyserver timed out" "gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error" I think I got that same message a couple of year ago as well.13:30
qwebirc65069It seems it's like that every time when I try to do this "gpg --keyid-format long --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0x46181433FBB75451 0xD94AA3F0EFE21092"13:31
