Mr_CyclopsGuys, looking for a reliable cloud storage solution, any suggestions?03:09
oerhekssetup your own nextcloud?03:17
tgm4883Really depends on what you're looking for. Cloud storage can mean so many things. Without knowing what features you want, tough to say03:18

CrazySamIs 20.04 LTS the next upgrade from 19.10?16:26
JoeMeritif you want it to be16:28
CrazySamI mean both 18.04 LTS and 19.10 are candidates for 20.04 LTS?16:29
CrazySamIt's the "LTS" that's confusing me.16:29
joelcrumpwell some people download the new version every six months, others keep the LTS versions until another LTS comes out16:30
CrazySamOK so these are not like 2 separate branches of Ubuntu, it's just a matter of how far on the edge you wanna be?16:31
katnipupgrading every 2 yrs is much easier than 6mos16:32
CrazySamOK, then I understood correctly.16:32
CrazySamAnd 19.10 (non-LTS) users don't have to do anything special to get the 20.04 LTS? Like setting some kind of flag if they are "LTS" or not. (Some discussion I saw earlier in the main channel.)16:33
CrazySamBut at the moment they have to use the -d option of do-release-upgrade if they want the 20.04 LTS ahead of time (ahead of the 20.04.1 release).16:34
CrazySam(Just like 18.04 LTS users.)16:35
CrazySamI'm upgrading 19.10 to 20.04 LTS right now. Didn't have to make it "LTS" first.16:48
CrazySamI say deprecate apg-get! What do you say?17:18
daftykinsit already is deprecated, it's just "apt" :)17:19
Eickmeyerdaftykins: apt-get is still around for scripting because apt is not guaranteed to be scriptable.17:19
daftykinsyou're preaching to the choir, good sir17:20
tomreynCrazySam: about your previous question here: if you *initially* install an LTS release you'll be on the LTS path, will only be prompted for LTS release upgrades once available, unless you edit the update-manager configuration.17:20
tomreyn!upgradelts17:20
tomreynubot9: you are broken17:20
Eickmeyer!ltsupgrade17:20
tomreynTo upgrade from an LTS release of Ubuntu to the next (non-LTS) release, run sudoedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change the prompt= line to "prompt=normal". Then, do sudo do-release-upgrade to begin the upgrade.17:20
joelcrumpsoftware updater had an option to notify of any new version release17:21
joelcrumpwhich i set it to do 'cause i intend to get 20.1017:22
tomreynright, this should have done the same thing.17:23
CrazySamEickmeyer: guaranteed by who?17:34
EickmeyerCrazySam: The developers....?17:35
CrazySamSource?17:35
EickmeyerI'm not gonna google that for you.17:35
CrazySamOK17:37
EickmeyerCrazySam: But since I did: "For low-level operations, in scripting etc, apt-get will still be used" https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/17:37
EickmeyerTL;DR: apt for end-users, apt-get for low-level operations.17:37
tomreynor CrazySam could have just run the command i provided a while ago on #ubuntu, and seen it themselves17:38
tomreyn<tomreyn> apt moo | cat17:38
EickmeyerAnd that's another thing. CrazySam, #ubuntu is strictly for support. I'm tired of seeing your rants in there.17:39
tomreyn<tomreyn> CrazySam: run the above command and ignore anything starting from and including the ears (or horns)17:39
CrazySamEickmeyer: Well I've been there, and read that. So it's Abhishek Prakash who guarantees that apt-get is scriptable? Not Ubuntu, Canonical, Debian or some other authority? I'm just curious where this is coming from.17:50
CrazySamHow can you guarantee anything in software?17:50
EickmeyerCrazySam: Open a command line, type "apt moo | cat".17:51
CrazySam"WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts."17:55
CrazySamWho put that in there?17:55
CrazySamWho is to guarantee that apt-get IS stable?17:55
EickmeyerUh... the DEVELOPERS put that there. Can you STOP assuming bad faith????17:56
EickmeyerCrazySam: The APT development team, led by juliank: https://launchpad.net/~deity17:58
daftykinsgoodness me what a loony attitude, nick makes sense now17:58
Eickmeyerjuliank is a Canonical employee.17:59
EickmeyerSo, at MINIMUM Canonical is saying that.17:59
EickmeyerCrazySam: We expect people to abide by the Ubuntu Code Of Conduct, and your assuming bad faith is flying in the face of that.17:59
CrazySamAlright, so it's guaranteed by Canonical, at least. But why not give apt the same treatment? You have two similarly named tools with very different goals and level of stability. Somehow I find that very unsatisfying.18:54
lotuspsychjeCrazySam: didnt you upgrade yesterday from 19.10 to 20.04?18:55
CrazySamlotuspsychje: that may be true.19:00
lotuspsychjeCrazySam: why do you keep volunteers busy again with that today then?19:01
tdsCrazySam: I believe the logic is that apt is a friendly interface for users, but apt-get can be used by tools19:02
daftykinsmust be lonely19:02
CrazySamlotuspsychje: I have a done a number of upgrades in recent weeks. All of them were virtual boxes. This was a physical box. And what do you mean by me keeping volunteers busy? I didn't ask for help here, did I?19:07
CrazySamdaftykins: you really have nothing better to say do you?19:08
lotuspsychjeCrazySam: yeah but you ask just the same things as you did yesterday, whats that good for?19:08
lotuspsychje<CrazySam> Is 20.04 LTS the next upgrade from 19.10?19:11
CrazySamlotuspsychje: maybe I didn't get an answer or did not understand it? I mean I did get an answer today, and what an answer: "if you want it to be".19:15
CrazySamSurely there are limits to what's possible, even in the world of Linux.19:16
lotuspsychjeCrazySam: you said you succesfully upgraded to 20.04 yesterday, what did you not understand well?19:16
CrazySamlotuspsychje: am I bothering you by any chance?19:20
lotuspsychjeCrazySam: no, this is a discuss channel, im interested to know why you re-asked all this after a succesfull upgrade..19:21
CrazySamlotuspsychje: right, but you're kind of bothering me. See I'm in the middle of something now. But I'll get back to you later if you're that much interested. OK?19:27
