I recommend to try a SSD or HDD (re @motorolae7: I have 21.04 on my SD card) [14:32] @motorolae7 21.04 went EOL 2 days ago, it's not supported anymore [14:32] [telegram] ok [19:45] hello, i installed ubuntu using debootstrap [19:46] 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] what am i doing wrong? [19:48] installing ubuntu by debootstrap.. on what linux version? [19:48] normally one would install from usb/dvd .. [19:48] i'm over the road, i have a super old install (2013) of gentoo that I installed from [19:48] i have internet, no cd/dvd/sdcard access [19:48] ubuntu 20.04 running [19:50] once i get this working properly i can remove the other partitions (gentoo) [19:50] hmm, sorry, not going to suport a frankenstein setup [19:50] how is it a frankenstein setup? [19:50] download the iso, put it on usb, boot from it and do a fresh install? [19:50] i followed the directions from the ubuntu manual for installing from debootstrap [19:51] yes, but not over a gentoo setup. [19:51] it's not over a gentoo setup [19:51] it's on it's own partition, booted into it from grub [19:51] now ubuntu is controlling the system [19:51] but i can't seem to apt-cache search anything [19:52] what would be the command to install lubuntu-meta or such [19:52] lubuntu-desktop [19:52] that used to be the package name about 5 years ago [19:52] it still is [19:52] ok [19:53] !info lubuntu-desktop [19:53] 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] root@localhost:~# apt install lubuntu-desktop [19:53] Reading package lists... Done [19:53] Building dependency tree [19:53] Reading state information... Done [19:53] E: Unable to locate package lubuntu-desktop [19:53] run apt update first.. and howcome you are root? [19:54] already ran apt update and apt upgrade, it downloaded and installed all updates [19:54] because i typed sudo passwd because i hate sudo and i'm not afraid of root [19:54] works just fine since 2005 [19:55] ubuntu / debian, just disable the root account [19:55] i enabled it, no big deal [19:55] weird story .. i have no clue and not interested in frankenstein setups .. [19:56] how is it a frankenstein setup? it's a minimal install using debootstrap [19:56] [telegram] Which isn't a normal way to install Lubuntu-desktop therefore unsupported here. [19:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/armhf/apds04.html [19:57] it's supported by ubuntu [19:57] it's from their pages [19:57] [telegram] Try #ubuntu then. [19:58] 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 [19:59] [telegram] If you did apt update it should work. Check your apt sources list maybe? [20:00] 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] good* [20:01] https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ishad0w/788555191c7037e249a439542c53e170/raw/3822ba49241e6fd851ca1c1cbcc4d7e87382f484/sources.list [20:01] sources.list raw [20:02] I don't like ubuntu... i like lubuntu [20:02] i hate what ubuntu has done to ubuntu [20:02] lubuntu is very nice [20:02] i used to run kubuntu back in the day, don't like what kde did either... nor gnome [20:03] i remember when slackware had gnome with e16 as the wm [20:03] those were the good days for linux [20:04] [telegram] Your source list seems OK at a glance. [20:04] lxde was great for lubuntu, glad you all went with lxqt... despite the license [20:04] ok [20:04] so what could my problems be? [20:05] i can't seem to install x!! [20:05] X11* [20:06] i'm completely baffled... never had an issue with apt before [20:06] i just installed openssh-server fine [20:06] why can't i install anything else? [20:08] [telegram] Not sure. Triple check your sources list matches that gist I guess. [20:08] [telegram] Then do an apt update if you make any changes. [20:10] https://pastebin.com/uRHt2Rt8 [20:11] i'll try a debootstrap install of lubuntu-desktop while you look that over [20:11] [telegram] Why is that pointed at ports^ [20:12] [telegram] Should be archive.ubuntu.com not ports.ubuntu.com [20:12] wait, it seems that the debootstrap directory has been removed now that i am running straight ubuntu [20:12] ok [20:12] let me change that [20:14] root@localhost:/etc/apt# sed -i.bak "s/ports/archive/g" sources.list [20:14] root@localhost:/etc/apt# ls [20:14] apt.conf.d preferences.d sources.list.bak trusted.gpg.d [20:15] https://pastebin.com/66nc2avX [20:16] root@localhost:/etc/apt# apt-cache search lubuntu-desktop [20:16] root@localhost:/etc/apt# [20:16] totally weird [20:17] [telegram] You still have some typos in that sources list. [20:17] probably [20:18] can you just paste me a good copy of a good sources.list? [20:18] [telegram] Now it subbed backports to backarchive [20:18] [telegram] Sed wasn't your friend there. [20:18] i realized that [20:18] i just looked [20:18] sed had it's way with me there [20:18] good think i made a backup right? [20:19] i just need a good sources.list probably [20:19] thing* [20:20] [telegram] Yeah, copy paste the gist you had. [20:21] https://pastebin.com/tnaytmzu [20:22] btw, thanks for helping me, I help others with problems like this, and we're breaking territory that hasn't been tried... [20:22] this is what separates the linux community from the windows community [20:23] [telegram] Your pastebin doesn't match the gist [20:23] 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] it doesn't? [20:24] ahh your right [20:24] but i got a different link probably last night [20:24] let me try that gist [20:25] you're awesome [20:25] the one i got last night was not right [20:26] this one updated with no errors [20:26] lets try an upgrade... sec [20:27] https://pastebin.com/BVUdvxKR [20:27] going for it [20:31] 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] 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] just sayin [20:33] lubuntu can do the same as gentoo [20:33] i wish i could get them to work together using distcc [20:33] not sure why i can't get it working [20:34] lubuntu compiled for each machine runs really fast, got one at home, but no time anymore :-( [20:34] even a 486DX2100 runs ubuntu fairly well [20:35] almost as well as a raspberry pi3 [20:37] https://pastebin.com/vqDivmUP [20:37] .erm [20:37] telegram god [20:37] i have telegram [20:37] kc2bez, you are my new ubuntu god [20:38] 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] my wife thanks you from home... now we can be closer [20:40] thank you [20:42] btw [20:42] i am also BoomerBile... but not sure why i can't get hexchat to show me the channel [20:42] maybe because i'm on a text console from a laptop on a truck ssh'd into my computers at home [22:36] kc2bez thanks man, i'm now in a graphical login sddm === tom is now known as Guest4902 [23:54] list/ [23:56] join ##australia [23:58] join ##cockgangsters [23:59] thrymr: hi, do you need any help with lubuntu?
