| allon | Hi everybody, my name is Emmanuel, I am one of the developper of GCompris and before yesterday I broke my Kubuntu development environment, so for now I can not develop anymore | 13:31 |
| allon | The problem lies with xserver-xorg-legacy | 13:32 |
| allon | it tells me that it can not create regular file XWrapper.config.dpkg-new. I tryed to purge everything I could purge | 13:32 |
| allon | reinstalled kubuntu-desktop, but always bump on this xserver-xorg-legacy problem. | 13:32 |
| allon | Is there no radical way to install the xserver-xorg-legacy package? | 13:32 |
| RikMills | allon: surprisingly, I don't think I have ever tripped over that sort of issue myself, but have seen it in passing in forums/chats IIRC | 14:39 |
| RikMills | so can't offer an immediate solution | 14:39 |
| RikMills | maybe someone else in here has battled a similar one | 14:39 |
| allon | Hi, I found out that I can reinstall kubuntu without erasing my home with the live cd | 15:24 |
| allon | I will back up my home and try this solution | 15:24 |
| allon | thanks for your help | 15:24 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> Is your home on a separate partition? | 15:25 |
| allon | on the same one | 15:25 |
| allon | https://www.computersnyou.com/4981/how-to-reinstall-ubuntu-without-losing-data/ | 15:26 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> You can re-install, but the only way to preserve your home directory is to NOT format your root partition. | 15:26 |
| allon | yes, this is what I read, do not click format button | 15:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> I keep home on a separate partition exactly for the purpose of re-installing. I have not had to reinstall for 3 or 4 years, but it's nice to have the fallback in case I want to experiment with new xorg or other bleeding edge stuff. | 15:29 |
| allon | The reinstallation did not work 100% | 15:53 |
| allon | I did not loose my data | 15:54 |
| allon | I still have my home with my different users | 15:54 |
| allon | maybe this is the moment to put it on a different partition | 15:54 |
| allon | kubuntu is installed on a ssd (not much place 78 G) , but I have also a 1T hdd | 15:55 |
| allon | Can I simply copy my home data to a new partition on the HDD and point to it? | 15:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> Theoretically yes, but I have not attempted myself. | 16:16 |
| allon | I am trying | 16:19 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Santa> Hi everyone | 16:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> Hi Santa | 16:22 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Santa> @RikMills this weekend I would like to take care of the fw release whenever we have tarballs | 16:23 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> @Santa, I already did it. Well not uploaded, as there is a glibc not built yet in -proposed, but it is ready for the ppa | 16:24 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Santa> :( | 16:25 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> sorry | 16:27 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> now uploaded to ppa | 22:46 |
