pikapikaWhats your fstabl12:51
pikapikaWhats your fstab12:51
Mekaneckpikapika: he's long gone, plus they meant the usb stick check not the hdd check.16:32
pikapikawon't it also be controlled by that fstab entry16:33
Mekaneckit's a integritycheck  which you can skip with CTRL+C16:36
Mekaneckso why fool around with fstab16:36
MekaneckIf he means the live usb stick that is16:37
pikapikaMekaneck, I see18:45
pikapikaI didn't know of that18:45
AfdalAll right, I managed to get an extra backup distro installed on unstable hardware, which means...  I now feel comfortable doing an LTS upgrade20:17
AfdalBut first, I need help figuring out what the heck is wrong with apt20:17
oerheksAfdal, 16.04 right?20:18
Afdalyeah20:18
oerheksthat one is EOL, dead jim20:18
oerheks!eolupgrade20:18
ubottuEnd-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades20:18
AfdalYes, that's why I'm going to finally do an upgrade20:18
oerhekslast url, old-versions trick20:18
AfdalSo, uh, I gotta figure out why apt has been busted since yesterday20:18
AfdalIs it broken because yesterday was some kind of EOL date?20:19
Mekaneckbetter to perform a clean install, faster... Oh and 32bit isn't support from 20.04 onward anymore if you happen to have that.20:21
AfdalYeah, that's also why I'm planning on abandoning *buntu for another distro soon, because that really messes with the Wine project20:22
AfdalBut for now I need a working system with a functional package manager20:22
AfdalI don't see any kind of support enddate related to apt breaking on me yesterday20:24
AfdalI don't understand what's causing this mergelist problem20:24
Afdalit's not corrupted files20:24
Afdalhttps://termbin.com/lmgk20:36
AfdalAnyone have any idea what's wrong with this apt-get update output here?20:36
AfdalWoo, fixed it \:o/21:07
AfdalApparently dead PPAs can sometimes break apt21:08
AfdalOkay got another question:21:14
AfdalI always forget where XFCE config files are actually stored21:14
AfdalApparently it's not .config/xfce/21:14
AfdalHow do I get my comfy desktop environment setup exactly how I like it on another user21:14
Afdal.config/xfce4/ that is21:16
