| tomreyn | domiu: so sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade return without any warnings or errors, and with no upgrades pending? | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| domiu | tomreyn, those commands resulted in nothing needing to be done. | 00:36 |
| domiu | but the upgrade doesn't occur and do-release-upgrade reports 'Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.' | 00:36 |
| domiu | very pleased otherwise. a few issues tho. | 00:37 |
| domiu | some of my problems include not being able to install gdm3 because there are held unmet dependencies, gnome-shell gir1 libgdm1 libpam-fprintd | 00:40 |

| rbasak | cpaelzer: I'm not sure how to triage https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1930398. Please could you tke a look? | 12:56 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1930398 in libvirt (Fedora) "libvirtd unable to execute QEMU command 'blockdev-remove-medium'" [Low, Confirmed] | 12:56 |
| cpaelzer | rbasak: done | 13:52 |
| cpaelzer | we are done (non actionable atm) unless you want to spend time to check if you can reproduce it (I can not) | 13:52 |
| rbasak | Thanks! As you might guess I'm not inclined to spend the time, and expect the reporter to provide steps to reproduce. | 13:58 |
| Peanut | Hi - I'm building a gluster/kvm based server pair. I'm running into the issue that libvirtd isn't able to auto-start VMs, because at that point, it seems that the gluster mount doesn't exist. Gluster is mounted using systemd automount, which should mount it on first access. | 14:35 |
| Peanut | What would be a feasible approach to ensure that libvirtd doesn't start before the gluster filesystem is mounted? | 14:36 |
| bumboks | Walex2 booting into GUI mode from the desktop ISO works, I can't see a way to do it with the server ISO | 14:55 |
| bumboks | how do you use the command line installer? | 14:56 |
| cpaelzer | Peanut: if you could use a mount unit instead of automount then you could also make it use systemd expressions like Before= | 14:57 |
| Peanut | cpaelzer: Thanks, I'm using automount as so far, it's the only reliable way to get /gluster to mount. But a mount unit sounds interesting, too. | 15:22 |
| rrr | if I needed ffmpeg today, what do I install? | 16:18 |
| rrr | libav something? | 16:18 |
| Walex2 | bumboks: the command line installer is the same installer with "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text" | 16:58 |
| Walex2 | rrr: the 'ffmpeg' packages have the right dependencies... | 16:59 |
| bumboks | Walex2 isn't that the same text based installer I took a screenshot of? | 16:59 |
| Walex2 | rrr: 'apt-cache depends ffmpeg' | 16:59 |
| Walex2 | bumboks: the installer has several different modes, the default uses "libncurses", it is full-screen text, not command-line text. | 17:00 |
| bumboks | gotcha | 17:00 |
| * Walex2 sighs as in an ideal world people on IRC would actually read the manual page at the link they have been given | 17:03 | |
| bumboks | Walex2 that also gives me "debconf: unable to initialize frontend: text" | 17:08 |
| rrr | I am getting 'held broken packages' errors now and I somehow managed to remove some components of my desktop. | 18:05 |
| rrr | I'm not sure, what tripped apt to remove gnome-session and gdm3 | 18:05 |
| Walex2 | bumboks: then my guess is that the server installer is really minimal; I always use the desktop installer as I like to have a minimal XFCE desktop and a GUI livecd... | 19:07 |
| Walex2 | rrr: I always recommend to use 'aptitude' so one can review more easily what gets done. | 19:07 |
| Walex2 | rrr: as to your current situation there are two remedial commands | 19:08 |
| Walex2 | rrr: the first is 'dpkg --configure -a' to make sure the installed packages are in a good state. | 19:08 |
| Walex2 | rrr: the second is 'apt-get dist-upgrade --fix-broken' | 19:09 |
| patdk-lap | and I think server install is huge and use jeos | 19:11 |
| patdk-lap | I was getting held broken packages also yesterday | 19:11 |
| patdk-lap | some servers had libc6 at a version higher than libc6-dev, and I couldn't find the correct matching dev on any mirror | 19:12 |
| patdk-lap | ended up downgrading lic6 to match -dev | 19:12 |
| Walex2 | patdk-lap: sometimes the mirrors have table-of-content files that are not fully updated... | 19:14 |
| Walex2 | rrr: I have written a nice short intro to 'aptitude' for maintaining good package list states: https://sabi.co.uk/blog/13-one.html?130414#130414 | 19:16 |
| patdk-lap | well, it's been over 24hours and it's still broken | 19:17 |
| patdk-lap | ubuntu 20.04 has a mix of libc6 of 2.31-0ubuntu9.2 and 2.31-0ubuntu9.3 | 19:18 |
| patdk-lap | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1926918 | 19:28 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1926918 in glibc (Ubuntu) "cannot install libc6-dev, requires old libc6 version" [Undecided, In Progress] | 19:28 |
| patdk-lap | month old issue :( | 19:28 |
| Walex2 | patdk-lap: it is not a bug issue I would think. | 19:33 |
| patdk-lap | it's a bug in the way it was handled | 19:33 |
| Walex2 | rrr: BTW first you may want to run 'dpkg -C' to check | 19:33 |
| patdk-lap | people upgraded to it, then it was removed | 19:33 |
| patdk-lap | I know a republish seems silly, but if you cannot push downgrades for reverts | 19:34 |
| Walex2 | ah, silly situation, I have seen it happen before. | 19:36 |
| Walex2 | but very rarely. | 19:36 |
| tomreyn | Walex2 / rrr: I would not recommend aptitude at this time (and for the past few years), see, e.g. bug 1817350 | 20:48 |
| ubottu | Bug 1817350 in aptitude (Ubuntu) "Running 'aptitude update' clears hold flags on packages" [Undecided, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1817350 | 20:49 |
