 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)
[14:32] <Maik> @motorolae7 21.04 went EOL 2 days ago, it's not supported anymore
 ok
[19:45] <Guest7767> hello, i installed ubuntu using debootstrap
[19:46] <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
[19:47] <Guest7767> what am i doing wrong?
[19:48] <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
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <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
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <oerheks> !info lubuntu-desktop
[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?
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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 .. 
[19:56] <Guest7767> how is it a frankenstein setup? it's a minimal install using debootstrap
 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
[19:57] <Guest7767> it's supported by ubuntu
[19:57] <Guest7767> it's from their pages
 Try #ubuntu then.
[19:58] <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
 If you did apt update it should work. Check your apt sources list maybe?
[20:00] <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*
[20:01] <Guest7767> https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ishad0w/788555191c7037e249a439542c53e170/raw/3822ba49241e6fd851ca1c1cbcc4d7e87382f484/sources.list
[20:01] <Guest7767> sources.list raw
[20:02] <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
[20:03] <Guest7767> i remember when slackware had gnome with e16 as the wm
[20:03] <Guest7767> those were the good days for linux
 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?
[20:05] <Guest7767> i can't seem to install x!!
[20:05] <Guest7767> X11*
[20:06] <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?
 Not sure. Triple check your sources list matches that gist I guess.
 Then do an apt update if you make any changes.
[20:10] <Guest7767> https://pastebin.com/uRHt2Rt8
[20:11] <Guest7767> i'll try a debootstrap install of lubuntu-desktop while you look that over
 Why is that pointed at ports^
 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
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <Guest7767> https://pastebin.com/66nc2avX
[20:16] <Guest7767> root@localhost:/etc/apt# apt-cache search lubuntu-desktop
[20:16] <Guest7767> root@localhost:/etc/apt#
[20:16] <Guest7767> totally weird
 You still have some typos in that sources list.
[20:17] <Guest7767> probably
[20:18] <Guest7767> can you just paste me a good copy of a good sources.list?
 Now it subbed backports to backarchive
 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?
[20:19] <Guest7767> i just need a good sources.list probably
[20:19] <Guest7767> thing*
 Yeah, copy paste the gist you had.
[20:21] <Guest7767> https://pastebin.com/tnaytmzu
[20:22] <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
 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?
[20:24] <Guest7767> ahh your right
[20:24] <Guest7767> but i got a different link probably last night
[20:24] <Guest7767> let me try that gist
[20:25] <Guest7767> you're awesome
[20:25] <Guest7767> the one i got last night was not right
[20:26] <Guest7767> this one updated with no errors
[20:26] <Guest7767> lets try an upgrade... sec
[20:27] <Guest7767> https://pastebin.com/BVUdvxKR
[20:27] <Guest7767> going for it
[20:31] <Guest7767> by the way, running gentoo is sweet, if you have a super computer to compile all of your packages for every machine yourself
[20:32] <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
[20:33] <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
[20:34] <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
[20:35] <Guest7767> almost as well as a raspberry pi3

[20:37] <Guest7767> telegram god
[20:37] <Guest7767> i have telegram
[20:37] <Guest7767> kc2bez, you are my new ubuntu god
[20:38] <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
[20:40] <Guest7767> my wife thanks you from home... now we can be closer
[20:40] <Guest7767> thank you
[20:42] <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
[22:36] <Guest7767> kc2bez thanks man, i'm now in a graphical login sddm
