| oerheks | Kilroy, basicly, try to run apt update first, to get fresh lists, that could fix this loop | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| Kilroy | ok let me try that | 00:16 |
| Kilroy | I get the same error | 00:16 |
| Kilroy | after running apt upgrade | 00:17 |
| Kilroy | I also get it when I run apt upgrade | 00:18 |
| Kilroy | ok I know the issue | 00:21 |
| Kilroy | some packages are installed, but need something that some how got removed and I can't install it back because ... (I have no clue at this poing) | 00:22 |
| sarnold | Kilroy: it depends on your goal. if you want webmin gone, apt purge webmin virtualmin-core webmin-virtual-server would probably do the trick | 00:24 |
| Kilroy | I want it back | 00:24 |
| Kilroy | it accidntly got put in the autoremove list and I mised it until it was too late | 00:24 |
| sarnold | d'oh | 00:25 |
| sarnold | it's possible that the easiest way to having it installed is to follow through with the full removal process as I suggested above.. that might be annoying though. try just "apt install webmin" and see what happens | 00:26 |
| Kilroy | same error | 00:27 |
| Kilroy | https://zerobin.net/?e9f8a44d5907eaff#D7JYM5Wh/XBUd/BkqeQdkbv7YSaBdNSTWGxA9y/lBkc= | 00:29 |
| sarnold | dang; I think apt remove virtualmin-core webmin-virtualmin-git webmin-virtualmin-htpasswd webmin-virtualmin-nginx-ssl -- some of those might not be installed, and it'll throw an error about that, if that's the case, remove whatever it says isn't installed, and try again | 00:30 |
| Kilroy | virtualmin-lemp-stack : Depends: webmin-virtualmin-nginx-ssl but it is not going to be installed | 00:33 |
| Kilroy | and apt remove virtualmin-lemp-stack gives the same error as before | 00:33 |
| sarnold | the usual way to approach these is to keep adding package names to the command line | 00:40 |
| sarnold | you obviously don't want to remove anything *really* important like glibc, sudo, bash, etc :) but it's sometimes hard to know which exact ones are good to ask to remove in the course of solving these problems | 00:41 |
| Kilroy | HA I got something to install! \o/ | 00:45 |
| Kilroy | and it failed /o\ | 00:45 |
| Kilroy | sarnold what does This package cannot be installed unless the Debian version of Webmin mean? | 00:45 |
| Kilroy | * | 00:45 |
| Kilroy | sarnold what does This package cannot be installed unless the Debian version of Webmin is installed first. mean? | 00:45 |
| sarnold | Kilroy: I'm not sure ;( that feels like it's a message from the maintainer script of one of these packages.. | 00:47 |
| Kilroy | I don't see anything from google | 00:48 |
| sarnold | how about: grep "cannot be installed" /var/lib/dpkg/info/* | 00:49 |
| Kilroy | just the same errors given | 00:53 |
| Kilroy | https://zerobin.net/?b33013ccf21ad19c#FRP30B9Gp9pDcfu/NWKcdqYvWm0VpTwgSl6lQIMywO0= | 00:53 |
| sarnold | nice, could you pastebin one of those files? that might suggest what they were looking for | 00:54 |
| Kilroy | https://zerobin.net/?2c49b7e1b478477e#cY6PLZ+pn+ysSzERjnt8+stXWWer1WMHV/FvmUaVeeU= | 00:56 |
| sarnold | man these are gross | 01:01 |
| sarnold | are you sure you actually want to use this software? | 01:01 |
| Kilroy | yes, I have used it before and it works very well, | 01:02 |
| sarnold | I can't find any package that owns /etc/webmin/config in ubuntu focal, nor in any debian release (via https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages ) --- so I'm guessing they meant *their* webmin package. but that should be easy enough to have a Depends: line in their configuration.. | 01:04 |
| Kilroy | https://webmin.com/ | 01:04 |
| sarnold | Kilroy: I think I'd apt purge webmin webmin-virtualmin-git webmin-virtualmin-htpasswd webmin-virtualmin-nginx webmin-virtualmin-nginx-ssl (and all the other packages from them) -- then do an apt update, apt install -f, and then try the apt install webmin again.. | 01:05 |
| Kilroy | still get that error | 01:06 |
| sarnold | :( | 01:06 |
| sarnold | dang | 01:06 |
| sarnold | Kilroy: I think I'd truncate those four maintainer scripts from https://zerobin.net/?b33013ccf21ad19c#FRP30B9Gp9pDcfu/NWKcdqYvWm0VpTwgSl6lQIMywO0= -- bash makes it easy, but it's a bit awkward the first time you see it :) | 01:08 |
| sarnold | it's just: | 01:08 |
| sarnold | > /var/lib/dpkg/info/webmin-virtualmin-git.preinst | 01:08 |
| sarnold | I'd truncate all four of those, *then* try the purge.. | 01:08 |
| Kilroy | ok | 01:08 |
| Kilroy | still same error | 01:09 |
| sarnold | *sigh* I had big hopes on that one. | 01:10 |
| sarnold | you'll probably have to head to the folks who publish this to ask for help | 01:10 |
| Kilroy | ok thank you for your help | 01:12 |

| oerheks | Leonard, fix your connection? | 16:23 |
| Kilroy | is there a better way to identify a drive then the uuid? | 18:43 |
| patdk-lap | drives don't have uuid | 18:45 |
| Kilroy | lsblk -f | 18:45 |
| patdk-lap | ya, I only see uuid for my mdadm partitions | 18:46 |
| patdk-lap | not for drives | 18:46 |
| patdk-lap | for drives you have model/serial for ata | 18:46 |
| patdk-lap | and for scsi the best is the wwn (like ethernet mac addresses) | 18:46 |
| patdk-lap | filesystems can have uuid though, but not drives | 18:47 |
| patdk-lap | I would love to see where that command gave you uuid for a drive | 18:47 |
| Kilroy | then what is this? | 18:48 |
| Kilroy | https://sturtz.cf/paste/paste.php?id=3 | 18:48 |
| patdk-lap | that is the output | 18:48 |
| patdk-lap | I see no uuid for your drives | 18:48 |
| patdk-lap | line 1, no uuid | 18:48 |
| Kilroy | sdf ext4 b197bc90-b57a-4040-af1e-1795d44de568 | 18:48 |
| patdk-lap | that is the uuid of your ext4 filesystem, not drive | 18:48 |
| Kilroy | then how do none of the other ext4 filesystems have that uuid? | 18:49 |
| patdk-lap | heh? they all do | 18:49 |
| patdk-lap | no idea what your talking about | 18:49 |
| patdk-lap | a uuid is designed to be uniq | 18:50 |
| Kilroy | none of the other file systems have this exact uuid | 18:50 |
| Kilroy | b197bc90-b57a-4040-af1e-1795d44de568 | 18:50 |
| patdk-lap | unless it's the same filesystem it should not have the same uuid | 18:50 |
| Kilroy | so then is it a good way to identify a drive in a script? | 18:50 |
| patdk-lap | did you dd the file system to a new drive | 18:50 |
| Kilroy | they all are ext4 | 18:50 |
| patdk-lap | it is NOT a good way to id a drive | 18:50 |
| patdk-lap | it IS a good way to id a filesystem | 18:50 |
| Kilroy | in my case, I want to be able to check if a flash drive is plugged in, and do something if that is true, and do something else if that is false | 18:51 |
| patdk-lap | do you really care about if a specific flash drive is plugged in? | 18:51 |
| patdk-lap | or if it has a specific filesystem on it | 18:52 |
| patdk-lap | like say, if you reformatted that flash drive, do you care? | 18:52 |
| patdk-lap | reformatting it will give the filesystem a new uuid | 18:52 |
| Kilroy | yes, I would care if it got reformatted | 18:53 |
| Kilroy | https://git.sturtz.cf/SturtzNetwork/checkdrive/src/master/check.sh | 18:53 |
| patdk-lap | I would just use blkid though, much easier to parse | 18:54 |
| patdk-lap | blkid -U $uuid | 18:55 |
| Kilroy | so back to, in that exact script would just using the uuid work? | 18:56 |
| Kilroy | or is there a way to identify the drive even if it gets wiped | 18:57 |
| Kilroy | sarnold I think I fixed apt | 22:11 |
| Kilroy | I ran apt satisfy webmin and it is doing stuff | 22:11 |
