[00:02] robert45: try sudo dpkg --configure -a ? [00:02] sarnold, same thing: https://dpaste.org/LKpM [00:05] robert45: okay, this is a bit gross but I'm running low on ideas; edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/mdadm.postinst and add 'set -x' near the top, just under the 'set -e' -- and re-try the dpkg --configure -a command, and lets see what falls out of this.. [00:10] sarnold, Thanks, this is what it returns: https://dpaste.org/EiAa [00:15] robert45: maaaan :( so, do you use mdadm? if not, maybe just apt purge mdadm ubuntu-server and try to move forward? [00:15] what is ubuntu-server, is that a required package? [00:15] it's a meta-package that depends upon a bunch of 'usual server things' [00:16] So it wont happen anything if I remove it? [00:18] nothing will happen immediately; I think it might be used by do-release-upgrade to help sort out the *next* upgrade, but I'm not sure on that [00:18] ok thanks [00:22] That worked [00:23] Thanks for all the help sarnold, you have been helpfup! Bye! [00:23] !cookie | sarnold [00:23] sarnold: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [00:24] robert45: don't go yet! [00:24] robert45: try another dpkg --configure -a [00:24] sarnold, it run with no output :) [00:24] YAY [00:24] okay, cool [00:24] did you reboot into a 20.04 kernel or is it still an 18.04 kernel? [00:29] don't ubuntu has go package? [00:30] Intelo, did you check launchpad for golang? [00:31] i know you are lazy .. [00:32] Intelo: apt-cache search golang-1 [00:34] sarnold, Im still running an 18.04 kernel for some reason even after rebooting. I presume I need to edit grub? Or maybe this dpkg-reconfigure would have fixed this? [00:34] robert45: normally do-release-upgrade manages the kernel transition :( bummer... [00:34] run a full-upgrade on that 18.04, and try again? [00:35] robert45: how about dpkg -l linux-generic ? [00:35] oerheks, how do I do that? [00:36] apt update && apt dist-upgrade [00:36] sarnold: oerheks oh 'go' is 'golang'? [00:40] sarnold, see here: https://dpaste.org/wznr [00:41] oerheks, it shows nothing to install [00:41] 5.4.0-66 versions are installed.. why the heck did it boot into the 4.15 kernels [00:42] I assume grub didnt update properly because of my forced reboot while running the Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20 upgrade [00:43] sarnold, my upgrade process got stuck and I couldn't find a way to get out so I had to reboot, fortunately it rebooted correctly but maybe some things are broken [00:46] I ran update-grub which finds the new kernel but it doesnt update the config file: https://dpaste.org/udBf [00:51] then the kernel is incomplete, sudo apt install -f [00:51] hrm. my bionic system has a /boot/grub/default and /boot/grub/menu.lst, my focal system doesn't [00:53] oerheks, nothing to install [00:53] sarnold, maybe your Ubuntu 20 is grub2 ? [00:54] I noticed my upgraded system still uses grub not grub2 [00:54] Not sure if its related [00:54] there's stuff in /boot/grub/, just not those things :) but that machine's weird, I followed the 'zfs on root' guide to get there [01:07] So, there is an update available, but its saying its for kernel images and I need to use a specific kernel for my wifi -- How can I update without updating the kernel images? [01:07] JPS what makes you think a fresh kernel does not work with your wifi? [01:08] does your wifi driver give a DKMS? [01:08] nope! --- oh wait a second, I got a new wifi dongle for this reason ..... [01:09] I'll have to see what I can do to have grub work with my kernel I know works....

I got an issue. I have a ZIP file, and archive manager will unzip some files but others not, without giving any error. But weirdly, if I try to do it through the terminal with "unzip", it works without a problem. Why could this be? [11:24] dbugger, Are you getting the error with the R-click "extract..." commands? [11:25] Qen-Joana, nope, not one [11:26] The operation seems to be totally successful (even thought it is not) [11:26] Sorry, I didn't mean 'error' [11:26] I have posted it with more detail in here, if you want to check: [11:26] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319233/unzipping-from-the-desktop-extracts-less-files-that-from-the-terminal [11:27] When this happened to I last week, I had problems with R-click extracting sometimes no files, but double-clicking and extracting with the GUI app worked fine. [11:27] Qen-Joana, I am not getting any kind of output. Actually I wasted yesterday the whole day, trying to figure out why my program was not executing. I didnt realize until this morning that the extraction was not working :( [11:28] From your post, it seems like we had the same problem. [11:28] Yeah, that works fine, but I want to find out how come that "Extract here" will not work. I wonder if it has to do with the contents of the ZIP [11:28] The program that generates those ZIPs, also generates executables for MacOS. And those are not working either. [11:29] Which makes me think that the problem lies in the contents of the ZIP file, but I have no idea what could it be... [11:29] Considering the timing, perhaps it is a new bug in the archive tool? [11:29] You think so?? [11:29] Do you have the ability to downgrade the tool? [11:29] What about the timing? Has anything happened? [11:29] I have 3.63.3 [11:30] I'm not on my Pop!_OS system right now, I cannot check my version. [11:30] But my suggestion is to try different versions of the archive tool. [11:31] The thing is, since the generated file is also not working on macOS, I doubt a lot that it is a problem of Archive Manager.. [11:33] Are you saying you have a tool on OSX that runs on similar libs or architecture? === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [11:37] No no [11:37] Let me explain better. [11:38] I am using Unity Cloud Build to make builds of a game I am development. At some point, those builds stopped working, for every platform, even though the build was successful. [11:38] The build of Linux was not working, until this morning I discovered that the whole ZIP file was not extracting properly [11:39] The generated files for other OS, like windows or Mac are also not working [11:39] so the timing is too good, it cannot be that it is a problem of Archive Manager... [11:40] All the builds stopped working at the same time, for everyplatform, which makes me suspect that the problem lies on some files inside the generated build. Probably in that folder that is not extracting... but I have no idea which could be. [11:41] Sorry, but the details are beyond I, and I am awake at 3:40am with no sleep yet. I suspect I and others have this problem, and my only 'symptom' was the archive manager not working. I will bookmark your post and hope for a solution! [11:41] Thanks [11:50] dbugger: if i run 'while true; do ps aux; done > ps' and do extract here on the file then see the log for 'grep filename ps' it shows the command it uses, maybe that will give more insight [11:51] it gives this for me "file-roller --extract-here file:///......." === osse_ is now known as osse [11:51] Not sure I understand what you mean, but let me try... [11:52] dbugger: i mean, maybe try to run the command manually in the terminal to see if it gives you any info on why it fails if it does fail [11:52] EriC^^, No, in the terminal there are no problem [11:53] It works perfectly [11:53] dbugger: but you said you're using unzip in the terminal? [11:53] Look at this link. I pasted the output: [11:53] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319233/unzipping-from-the-desktop-extracts-less-files-that-from-the-terminal [11:53] dbugger: this is the command it actually runs when you press 'extract here' [11:54] Which one? file-roller ? [11:54] yes [11:54] oh, ok. let me try that [11:54] for me at least, that's what it's running [11:57] ok, the command works also well... [11:57] let me see the ps file.. [11:59] EriC^^, I do not see anything remarkable in the ps file [11:59] https://pastebin.com/fYKkZme8 [12:00] seems to be using 7z /usr/lib/p7zip/7z x -bd -y -o/home/dbugger/Downloads/emt-it-services-notan-linux-desktop-x64-7 -- /home/dbugger/Downloads/emt-it-services-notan-linux-desktop-x64-7.zip [12:01] But the thing is... it is working, when I use the command [12:01] Should I do the loop, while using the GUI? [12:01] yeah, that's what i meant [12:01] ok, lets see [12:02] lol... not even one match o_O [12:03] That cant be right. I will try it again [12:04] nope.... 0 matches o_O [12:04] wtf... [12:04] maybe the gui is broken, not running anything [12:05] if it was broken, it wouldnt extract a part of the file, no?? [12:05] same file, no caps on the filename etc? [12:05] oh [12:05] :P [12:05] try with grep -i ? [12:06] ok.. [12:06] nope.... nothing... o_O [12:07] i wonder where the info is for what to run when one clicks a context item [12:07] clearly not in ps aux... [12:07] I have no clue ... :/ [12:08] hmm, grepping etc for file-roller shows interesting stuff in /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu [12:08] what is the grep command I should run exactly? [12:10] seems a dead end [12:11] :/ [12:12] the stuff there points to /usr/share/applications/file-roller.desktop that's all [12:13] Im browsing the zip file for weird file names... [12:13] There are plenty of DLL files, but that cannot be... [12:18] dbugger: which ubuntu version are you using [12:18] 20.04 [12:20] it's just that one archive it has problems with? [12:21] yes [12:25] I was on Pop!_OS 20.04 and I had the same problem. [12:34] :/ [12:38] Hi folks [12:49] * oerheks reading https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319233/unzipping-from-the-desktop-extracts-less-files-that-from-the-terminal [12:51] oerheks, thanks [12:52] dbugger, do you have an url, so we can try that zip? [12:52] Not really, since it is a private company project :/ [12:53] oh oke. [12:53] so, if i understand correctly, that 1st folder 84,4mb is placed at / ? [12:54] or totally not unzipped at all? [12:54] Yeah, the screenshot is at the root of the compressed files [12:54] ah no [12:54] it does not appear at all [12:54] not even empty [12:55] what if you open it in fileroller, and extract just that folder? [12:55] Yes, it works [12:55] The only way it does NOT work, is with the GUI [12:55] When I was dealing with this problem, I had downloaded some .zips from www.esoui.com and also had less (and sometimes zero) file output from context-menu "extract here (smart)". [12:56] with file-roller and unzip, works fine [12:56] It is just the "Extract here" that does it partially [13:00] weird, hard to say what is going on. [13:00] Yeah it is... [13:01] It began to happen 2 weeks ago [13:01] I wonder wtf I changed in my project, that messed up the builds :/ [13:01] get a genuine copy again? [13:01] a what? [13:01] weird part is, on comandline it works.. [13:01] Yep.. [13:02] Extracting it directly from the Archive Manager works too [13:02] Only the "extract here" is what is not working [13:05] can ubuntu update after 1year without deps breakage [13:07] iekfkk, i think so, let us know if you did [13:08] * only if the release is still supported ofcourse [13:08] if i download old iso it seems to update why is that deps dont break here [13:08] oh, old iso .. no [13:08] yup assuming suport [13:08] then you must do some trick with old-releases. [13:08] no assuming 5 year lts support [13:08] i would boot that old is, download a new iso with it and put it on usb [13:09] but why do deps break on arch so easily [13:09] 18.04(.0) release can still be used. [13:09] you would end up with 18.04.5 .. or .6 === StathisA_ is now known as StathisA [13:25] I crashed :P [13:26] Ok, a different question: I seem to have 2 virtualbox commands, "virtualbox" and "VirtualBox". Is this normal...? [13:27] dbugger: yup, same here [13:27] check with "which virtualbox" and "which VirtualBox" [13:27] one is probably an alias for the other [13:28] "which virtualbox" is "/usr/bin/virtualbox" and "which VirtualBox" is "/usr/bin/VirtualBox"... that didnt help much :D [13:28] it is still 2 different commands [13:31] They're both symlinks to /usr/share/virtualbox/VBox.sh [13:32] Oh, cool. So i do not have to worry [13:32] Thanks [13:32] Another question regarding virtualbox: Is there anyway to prevent it from crashing the host OS? :P [13:32] allocate less memory to the guest VM? [13:32] and /join #vbox [13:32] Oh thanks [13:33] Not it is a memory issue, really. I do not have much at all... [13:38] if i remove grub-pc will my device fail to boot?

[14:00] oerheks: becuase I boot efi/gpt so didn't think I needed it. [14:01] but on the same note, I also don't want to remove it if it makes my system not boot.

[14:57] My boot partition on my Ubuntu boot partition is not mounted while my windows boot partition is. [14:57] So somehow my ubuntu boot migrated to the windows boot partition. [14:57] How could this have happened and how do I fix it? My windows still works but my Ubuntu is - as I said - broken in terms of drivers. [15:04] did canonical just now remove python 2 from its 16.04 archives? [15:06] mort: no [15:06] mort: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/wmHj2qpfbf/ [15:08] the python2 package exists, but a bunch of packages it depends on seems to be missing [15:09] https://p.mort.coffee/OFSO [15:09] libpython2.7-minimal, python2.7-minimal, libpython2.7-stdlib and python2.7 are all missing even though the python package exists [15:11] mort: yup, something looks broken there. Looks like just the updates packages. The previous versions are still there. As seen here: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.7/libpython2.7-minimal_2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.13_amd64.deb [15:14] so I need to pin the relevant packages to the 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.13_amd64 version, or is there an easier way to fix this than with pinning [15:15] !info python-minimal xenial [15:15] python-minimal (source: python-defaults): minimal subset of the Python language (default version). In component main, is optional. Version 2.7.12-1~16.04 (xenial), package size 27 kB, installed size 145 kB [15:16] oerheks: I can confirm they're missing. Just got complaints from our build farm about it as well [15:17] there is some progress going on? [15:17] see date + time https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/python2.7-minimal [15:18] so the actual debs were removed but the index still has it listed? [15:18] also we had a python update today, https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-4754-1 [15:18] i think we should wait and see.. [15:19] I'll just try to pin the packages to get on with my work and check back later [15:21] seems I don't know how package pinning works. My /etc/apt/preferences contains `Package: python2.7 \n Pin: version 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.13 \n Pin-Priority: 999` yet it's trying to download python2.7_2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.14_amd64.deb [15:27] Hi, 16.04 security mirrors are currently broken, http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz references libpython2.7-minimal version 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.14 but the file doesn't exist there http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.7/libpython2.7-minimal_2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.14_amd64.deb [15:27] Is that a known issue ? Any way to work around that ? [15:27] how do we report a broken mirror? security.ubuntu.com is missing the latest python2.7 update for xenial: [15:27] ooops [15:27] i was just going to say that eijebong :) [15:27] pfak: :D [15:28] wherever you're going to report it, probably useful to include the failing IP [15:28] 91.189.88.152 [15:28] eijebong: it's currently being reported [15:29] eijebong, thanks, known issue [15:30] any idea how I can work around it? Specifically, why isn't https://p.mort.coffee/yFB in /etc/apt/preferences working? [15:34] it seems like the .14 is removed an hour ago, bad build? https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/python2.7 [15:34] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1916915 [15:34] Launchpad bug 1916915 in python2.7 (Ubuntu) "Incorrect pacakge version available on bionic pool (2.7.17-1~18.04ubuntu1.3 not availbale)" [Undecided,New] [15:35] it's being worked on as we speak [15:35] oke leftyfb! so mort, wait a bit. [15:39] How do you figure out why a package is being held back from upgrading? [15:42] SuperLag, which package exactly? [15:42] nginx (which I have their repo configured for) [15:43] with python2.7 ? [15:43] No, no python issues here, that I'm aware of [15:44] hi [15:44] i have a weird problem on ubuntu 18.04LTS, when i try to install something https://pastebin.com/RDaHZvmQ [15:45] SuperLag, not sure there, we need more details, what nginx repo, what ubuntu version [15:45] it says it can't find the IP, while i can ping it and resolv the host [15:45] DJ-ArcAngel, hi, thanks for reporting, there is an issue with python2.7 , crew is working on it [15:46] DJ-ArcAngel, is says it cant find the file, not the IP btw ... [15:46] is there a way to save audio mixer setting? [15:46] ah yea [15:46] is there something alternative i can use? [15:47] regardless of the python issue, I'm wondering why pinning the package doesn't work [15:47] I suppose one could just manually download the debs and install them with dpkg [15:47] now it resets when i reboot [15:47] alternative, not besides pinning the old version, i would wait a bit [15:47] DJ-ArcAngel, you could try your luck and hope to find a mirror that has not pulled the changes from the archive yet ... but i guess thats a lot more work than just waiting that the archive gets fixed [15:47] Good morning everyone. I am hoping one of you can help me. I am attempting to setup an SMTP server. I'm running Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS. I've installed Postfix and Mailtools,I have also configured the UFW to allow the necessary ports, I've also configured my hardware router to also allow the same ports to the specified machine. [15:48] ogra: is there an ETA.. this needs to go live tomorrow :D [15:48] no ETA given, only confirmation that is a known issue, and work is in progress [15:48] DJ-ArcAngel, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1916915 [15:48] Launchpad bug 1916915 in python2.7 (Ubuntu) "Incorrect package version available on bionic pool (2.7.17-1~18.04ubuntu1.3 not availbale)" [Undecided,Confirmed] [15:49] you can follow that bug to see when it is fixed [15:49] thanks oerheks, ogra [15:49] it is not just packaging, also testing. [15:49] yeah [15:50] i have them installed on another system.. can i re-package them again there as .deb? [15:50] you should have the original debs there too? [15:50] if i did not clean [15:50] /var/cache/apt/archive/ [15:50] fwiw, this script works: https://p.mort.coffee/a7p [15:51] (that's for 16.04, but should be easy to adapt to 18.04) [15:54] needs an `apt install python` after it, but it works otherwise [16:03] mort: try again. The indexes should be fixed [16:03] Looks like it's fixed yeah [16:04] yay! [16:04] DJ-ArcAngel, ^^ [16:05] I was wondering if one of you could help me with an smtp issue? [16:06] Or is that off topic here? [16:06] * eelstrebor just did a fresh install of 20.04.2 - some apps take a long time to show up when launched (i.e. gftp took 25 seconds to show up) [16:07] is gftp a snap? [16:07] stonergeek, if it's postfix you might have better luck at #postfix [16:07] mort: snap search gftp [16:07] Ahhhh ... thanks [16:07] mort, i don't know [16:09]
