Johnny1123Hola, Szijastok, Witam, Nichao 20:58
arraybolt3[m]Johnny1123: Hello! Anything we can help you with?20:58
Johnny1123In fact I'm with limited bandwith on the vessel, looking for net-tools (ifconfig) but seems like repositories are outdated. Can not connect to repository server after apt-get update. I would like to clone configuration of other computer in network to connect myself. Wifi is guarded by some kind of vpn/firewall with limited bandwith. Ethernet is not limited by bandwith - only by blacklisted type of sites. Is there any way to install tools with 40b 21:01

arraybolt3[m]Johnny1123: What version of Lubuntu are you using?21:02
arraybolt3[m](This might seem insignificant, but it is helpful for me to know how to answer your question.)21:03

arraybolt3[m]Johnny1124: OK, since you're badly bandwidth limited you won't be able to upgrade that, so let's put the old-releases repo into your sources.list21:06
Johnny1124@arraybolt3[m] 21.10 21:07
arraybolt3[m]Johnny1124: Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T, and run "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list".21:07

arraybolt3[m]Oy, copypasting stuff into IRC causes a bot to mute you, so you may be unable to talk for 60 seconds. Sorry about that, I'll keep telling you what to do in the meantime.21:08
arraybolt3[m]Johnny1124: OK, see all of those "http://c.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" URLs? Change them so they all read "http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/".21:08
arraybolt3[m]Johnny1124: Do this to every URL in the file.21:09
arraybolt3[m]Johnny1124: Let me know when that's done once the bot unmutes you.21:09
Johnny1124Done. You are great. 21:10
Johnny1124and now apt-get update, and install net-tools as I guess :) 21:10
arraybolt3[m]Johnny1124: Nice. OK, now you should be able to do "sudo apt install net-tools" and be up and running. (Don't run an apt update, that will chew up tons of bandwidth.)21:10
Johnny1124Thanks!21:11
arraybolt3[m]Careful with the update! Don't wanna chew up bandwidth, you should be able to just get net-tools at this point.21:11
arraybolt3[m]No problem, glad to help! By the way, that version of Lubuntu is out of support, so once you get to a place where you can, back up your system and upgrade it so you stay secure.21:11
arraybolt3[m](Obviously that's not a "now" thing since you've only got 40 mb of bandwidth, but whenever the opportunity presents itself, upgrading to 22.04 would be a good idea.)21:12
arraybolt3[m]Here's the instructions on how to upgrade: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades No need to open the link now, but just save the address somewhere since it will come in handy when you're ready to upgrade.21:13
Johnny1124Thank you for your time and support. I'm very greatful. 21:15
arraybolt3[m]Very glad to help. OK, IRC pings the server every once in a while, so probably disconnect so you can conserve as much bandwidth as possible. If you ever need help again, let us know!21:16
Johnny1124:) ! Have a great day. 21:16
