[07:04] <xu-help90w> hey?
[07:05] <xu-help90w> I'm the accidentally adding in the staging PPAs of the XFCE desktop environment from yesterday
[07:05] <xu-help90w> and I've just reinstalled everything 
[07:06] <xu-help90w> now I decided to go straight into `sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop` instead of adding in the staging PPAs
[07:06] <xu-help90w> and there's this error: `Errors were encountered while processing:
[07:06] <xu-help90w>  /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-nIv7DD/197-xubuntu-default-settings_20.04.4_all.deb
[07:06] <xu-help90w> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)`
[07:06] <xu-help90w> help?
[07:08] <xu-help90w> um, anyone here?
[07:15] <xu-help90w> guess no one is online then
[07:22] <xu-help90w> #linux
[07:28] <Afdal> :(
=== TiZ8 is now known as TiZ
[10:01] <xu-help52w> I boot xubuntu 20.04 from USB disk, it performs lengthy disk check every time. How can I bypass it?
[12:51] <pikapika> Whats your fstabl
[12:51] <pikapika> Whats your fstab
[16:32] <Mekaneck> pikapika: he's long gone, plus they meant the usb stick check not the hdd check.
[16:33] <pikapika> won't it also be controlled by that fstab entry
[16:36] <Mekaneck> it's a integritycheck  which you can skip with CTRL+C
[16:36] <Mekaneck> so why fool around with fstab
[16:37] <Mekaneck> If he means the live usb stick that is
[18:45] <pikapika> Mekaneck, I see
[18:45] <pikapika> I didn't know of that
[20:17] <Afdal> All right, I managed to get an extra backup distro installed on unstable hardware, which means...  I now feel comfortable doing an LTS upgrade
[20:17] <Afdal> But first, I need help figuring out what the heck is wrong with apt
[20:18] <oerheks> Afdal, 16.04 right?
[20:18] <Afdal> yeah
[20:18] <oerheks> that one is EOL, dead jim
[20:18] <oerheks> !eolupgrade
[20:18] <ubottu> End-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/EOLUpgrades
[20:18] <Afdal> Yes, that's why I'm going to finally do an upgrade
[20:18] <oerheks> last url, old-versions trick
[20:18] <Afdal> So, uh, I gotta figure out why apt has been busted since yesterday
[20:19] <Afdal> Is it broken because yesterday was some kind of EOL date?
[20:21] <Mekaneck> better to perform a clean install, faster... Oh and 32bit isn't support from 20.04 onward anymore if you happen to have that.
[20:22] <Afdal> Yeah, that's also why I'm planning on abandoning *buntu for another distro soon, because that really messes with the Wine project
[20:22] <Afdal> But for now I need a working system with a functional package manager
[20:24] <Afdal> I don't see any kind of support enddate related to apt breaking on me yesterday
[20:24] <Afdal> I don't understand what's causing this mergelist problem
[20:24] <Afdal> it's not corrupted files
[20:36] <Afdal> https://termbin.com/lmgk
[20:36] <Afdal> Anyone have any idea what's wrong with this apt-get update output here?
[21:07] <Afdal> Woo, fixed it \:o/
[21:08] <Afdal> Apparently dead PPAs can sometimes break apt
[21:14] <Afdal> Okay got another question:
[21:14] <Afdal> I always forget where XFCE config files are actually stored
[21:14] <Afdal> Apparently it's not .config/xfce/
[21:14] <Afdal> How do I get my comfy desktop environment setup exactly how I like it on another user
[21:16] <Afdal> .config/xfce4/ that is
