| lubot | [telegram] <Halis> The sd card might be the reason, why you have the problems. I recommend to try a SSD or HDD (re @motorolae7: I have 21.04 on my SD card) | 14:29 |
|---|---|---|
| Maik | @motorolae7 21.04 went EOL 2 days ago, it's not supported anymore | 14:32 |
| lubot | [telegram] <motorolae7> ok | 14:32 |
| Guest7767 | hello, i installed ubuntu using debootstrap | 19:45 |
| Guest7767 | i've got a bootable system, but now that everything seems to run ok, apt is telling me that it can't find any other packages that i want to install, for instance, apt-get, synaptic, aptitude, anything lxqt, lxde, lubuntu, X11, nor can it reinstall apt because it can't be downloaded | 19:46 |
| Guest7767 | what am i doing wrong? | 19:47 |
| oerheks | installing ubuntu by debootstrap.. on what linux version? | 19:48 |
| oerheks | normally one would install from usb/dvd .. | 19:48 |
| Guest7767 | i'm over the road, i have a super old install (2013) of gentoo that I installed from | 19:48 |
| Guest7767 | i have internet, no cd/dvd/sdcard access | 19:48 |
| Guest7767 | ubuntu 20.04 running | 19:48 |
| Guest7767 | once i get this working properly i can remove the other partitions (gentoo) | 19:50 |
| oerheks | hmm, sorry, not going to suport a frankenstein setup | 19:50 |
| Guest7767 | how is it a frankenstein setup? | 19:50 |
| oerheks | download the iso, put it on usb, boot from it and do a fresh install? | 19:50 |
| Guest7767 | i followed the directions from the ubuntu manual for installing from debootstrap | 19:50 |
| oerheks | yes, but not over a gentoo setup. | 19:51 |
| Guest7767 | it's not over a gentoo setup | 19:51 |
| Guest7767 | it's on it's own partition, booted into it from grub | 19:51 |
| Guest7767 | now ubuntu is controlling the system | 19:51 |
| Guest7767 | but i can't seem to apt-cache search anything | 19:51 |
| Guest7767 | what would be the command to install lubuntu-meta or such | 19:52 |
| Guest7767 | lubuntu-desktop | 19:52 |
| Guest7767 | that used to be the package name about 5 years ago | 19:52 |
| oerheks | it still is | 19:52 |
| Guest7767 | ok | 19:52 |
| oerheks | !info lubuntu-desktop | 19:53 |
| ubottu | lubuntu-desktop (21.04.1, impish): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Built by lubuntu-meta. Size 4 kB / 18 kB | 19:53 |
| Guest7767 | root@localhost:~# apt install lubuntu-desktop | 19:53 |
| Guest7767 | Reading package lists... Done | 19:53 |
| Guest7767 | Building dependency tree | 19:53 |
| Guest7767 | Reading state information... Done | 19:53 |
| Guest7767 | E: Unable to locate package lubuntu-desktop | 19:53 |
| oerheks | run apt update first.. and howcome you are root? | 19:53 |
| Guest7767 | already ran apt update and apt upgrade, it downloaded and installed all updates | 19:54 |
| Guest7767 | because i typed sudo passwd because i hate sudo and i'm not afraid of root | 19:54 |
| Guest7767 | works just fine since 2005 | 19:54 |
| Guest7767 | ubuntu / debian, just disable the root account | 19:55 |
| Guest7767 | i enabled it, no big deal | 19:55 |
| oerheks | weird story .. i have no clue and not interested in frankenstein setups .. | 19:55 |
| Guest7767 | how is it a frankenstein setup? it's a minimal install using debootstrap | 19:56 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Which isn't a normal way to install Lubuntu-desktop therefore unsupported here. | 19:56 |
| Guest7767 | https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/armhf/apds04.html | 19:56 |
| Guest7767 | it's supported by ubuntu | 19:57 |
| Guest7767 | it's from their pages | 19:57 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Try #ubuntu then. | 19:57 |
| Guest7767 | i'm not asking you to support my complete install... no one here can tell me why apt can't find packages? | 19:58 |
| * Guest7767 looks to see if he's accidently in #windows | 19:58 | |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> If you did apt update it should work. Check your apt sources list maybe? | 19:59 |
| Guest7767 | i did... and i downloaded one from a paste on ubuntu.com... maybe you can point me to a good list? i'm assuming it's not goodd | 20:00 |
| Guest7767 | good* | 20:00 |
| Guest7767 | https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ishad0w/788555191c7037e249a439542c53e170/raw/3822ba49241e6fd851ca1c1cbcc4d7e87382f484/sources.list | 20:01 |
| Guest7767 | sources.list raw | 20:01 |
| Guest7767 | I don't like ubuntu... i like lubuntu | 20:02 |
| Guest7767 | i hate what ubuntu has done to ubuntu | 20:02 |
| Guest7767 | lubuntu is very nice | 20:02 |
| Guest7767 | i used to run kubuntu back in the day, don't like what kde did either... nor gnome | 20:02 |
| Guest7767 | i remember when slackware had gnome with e16 as the wm | 20:03 |
| Guest7767 | those were the good days for linux | 20:03 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Your source list seems OK at a glance. | 20:04 |
| Guest7767 | lxde was great for lubuntu, glad you all went with lxqt... despite the license | 20:04 |
| Guest7767 | ok | 20:04 |
| Guest7767 | so what could my problems be? | 20:04 |
| Guest7767 | i can't seem to install x!! | 20:05 |
| Guest7767 | X11* | 20:05 |
| Guest7767 | i'm completely baffled... never had an issue with apt before | 20:06 |
| Guest7767 | i just installed openssh-server fine | 20:06 |
| Guest7767 | why can't i install anything else? | 20:06 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Not sure. Triple check your sources list matches that gist I guess. | 20:08 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Then do an apt update if you make any changes. | 20:08 |
| Guest7767 | https://pastebin.com/uRHt2Rt8 | 20:10 |
| Guest7767 | i'll try a debootstrap install of lubuntu-desktop while you look that over | 20:11 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Why is that pointed at ports^ | 20:11 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Should be archive.ubuntu.com not ports.ubuntu.com | 20:12 |
| Guest7767 | wait, it seems that the debootstrap directory has been removed now that i am running straight ubuntu | 20:12 |
| Guest7767 | ok | 20:12 |
| Guest7767 | let me change that | 20:12 |
| Guest7767 | root@localhost:/etc/apt# sed -i.bak "s/ports/archive/g" sources.list | 20:14 |
| Guest7767 | root@localhost:/etc/apt# ls | 20:14 |
| Guest7767 | apt.conf.d preferences.d sources.list.bak trusted.gpg.d | 20:14 |
| Guest7767 | https://pastebin.com/66nc2avX | 20:15 |
| Guest7767 | root@localhost:/etc/apt# apt-cache search lubuntu-desktop | 20:16 |
| Guest7767 | root@localhost:/etc/apt# | 20:16 |
| Guest7767 | totally weird | 20:16 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> You still have some typos in that sources list. | 20:17 |
| Guest7767 | probably | 20:17 |
| Guest7767 | can you just paste me a good copy of a good sources.list? | 20:18 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Now it subbed backports to backarchive | 20:18 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Sed wasn't your friend there. | 20:18 |
| Guest7767 | i realized that | 20:18 |
| Guest7767 | i just looked | 20:18 |
| Guest7767 | sed had it's way with me there | 20:18 |
| Guest7767 | good think i made a backup right? | 20:18 |
| Guest7767 | i just need a good sources.list probably | 20:19 |
| Guest7767 | thing* | 20:19 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Yeah, copy paste the gist you had. | 20:20 |
| Guest7767 | https://pastebin.com/tnaytmzu | 20:21 |
| Guest7767 | btw, thanks for helping me, I help others with problems like this, and we're breaking territory that hasn't been tried... | 20:22 |
| Guest7767 | this is what separates the linux community from the windows community | 20:22 |
| lubot | [telegram] <kc2bez> Your pastebin doesn't match the gist | 20:23 |
| Guest7767 | if only i could get some ubuntu computers to join my super computer at home in my compile/render farm, that would be ground breaking | 20:23 |
| Guest7767 | it doesn't? | 20:23 |
| Guest7767 | ahh your right | 20:24 |
| Guest7767 | but i got a different link probably last night | 20:24 |
| Guest7767 | let me try that gist | 20:24 |
| Guest7767 | you're awesome | 20:25 |
| Guest7767 | the one i got last night was not right | 20:25 |
| Guest7767 | this one updated with no errors | 20:26 |
| Guest7767 | lets try an upgrade... sec | 20:26 |
| Guest7767 | https://pastebin.com/BVUdvxKR | 20:27 |
| Guest7767 | going for it | 20:27 |
| Guest7767 | by the way, running gentoo is sweet, if you have a super computer to compile all of your packages for every machine yourself | 20:31 |
| Guest7767 | if you take a job going over the road to provide services and goods to people via semi-truck in the USA and only have wifi-at-best access to the internet and your distributed compiling infrastructure... it's not so great on a laptop | 20:32 |
| Guest7767 | just sayin | 20:33 |
| Guest7767 | lubuntu can do the same as gentoo | 20:33 |
| Guest7767 | i wish i could get them to work together using distcc | 20:33 |
| Guest7767 | not sure why i can't get it working | 20:33 |
| Guest7767 | lubuntu compiled for each machine runs really fast, got one at home, but no time anymore :-( | 20:34 |
| Guest7767 | even a 486DX2100 runs ubuntu fairly well | 20:34 |
| Guest7767 | almost as well as a raspberry pi3 | 20:35 |
| Guest7767 | https://pastebin.com/vqDivmUP | 20:37 |
| Guest7767 | .erm | 20:37 |
| Guest7767 | telegram god | 20:37 |
| Guest7767 | i have telegram | 20:37 |
| Guest7767 | kc2bez, you are my new ubuntu god | 20:37 |
| Guest7767 | thanks, it's not a frankenstein setup... maybe misunderstood by some with a very simple error to be fixed... thank you, thank you, thank you, millions | 20:38 |
| Guest7767 | my wife thanks you from home... now we can be closer | 20:40 |
| Guest7767 | thank you | 20:40 |
| Guest7767 | btw | 20:42 |
| Guest7767 | i am also BoomerBile... but not sure why i can't get hexchat to show me the channel | 20:42 |
| Guest7767 | maybe because i'm on a text console from a laptop on a truck ssh'd into my computers at home | 20:42 |
| Guest7767 | kc2bez thanks man, i'm now in a graphical login sddm | 22:36 |
