Guest73Hi folks, quick question: is the LTS life cycle of Kubuntu the same as for Ubuntu? (So 5 years support). Couldn't find it easily on the website, so I thought I might get an answer here =)11:04
IrcsomeBot<hjvTelegram> I think it is 5 years although Ubuntu-Mate is 3 years so it may depend on the developers and what they commit to.11:08
Robbotto[m]<Guest73> "Hi folks, quick question: is the..." <- 3 years11:10
Guest73Thanks a lot!11:11

iomari891I still can't upgrade 22.04 to 22.10. This is frustrating. After updating->upgrading->dist-upgrade, I still get "Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading". What gives?14:31
iomari891I've been trying since 10/20.14:31
blazeapt list --upgradable14:47
tomreyniomari891: according to http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release release upgrades from 22.04 to 22.10 are enabled. so it will be due to the local system state. the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ may provide more information on what causes the release upgrade to be cancelled.15:02
=== MareMagnum is now known as faLUKE0
iomari891tomreyn: Thanks. Files and folders in /var/log/dist-upgrade are all very old. Any idea why there are not up to date?16:41
tomreyniomari891: no. but i have very little information to work with.16:42
iomari891will deleting the contents help?16:43
tomreynno16:43
alkisgiomari891: blaze requested your output of `apt list --upgradable`; or send us the output of `apt full-upgrade`; without it, we can't help you16:46
tomreyniomari891: what you can do is capture and share the full output, as well as these commands, as you run them: apt policy; apt list --installed | grep ',local\]$'; sudo apt update && sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt -f install && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt full-upgrade16:47

* tomreyn falls asleep17:14
tomreynI expect that in about three days, we'll see iomari891 post this here: "I still can't upgrade 22.04 to 22.10. This is frustrating. After updating->upgrading->dist-upgrade, I still get 'Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading'. What gives?"17:16
alkisgYeh I think I've seen that about 20 times now, and equal times they asked for information but wasn't provided17:26
tomreynsame17:31
Mrokiimmikowski: Hm, okay, thanks. But Kalendar never worked for me, even before I had mysql-server installed. I only tried that as it was one of the suggested solutions for possible problems.17:35
iomari891tomreyn: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/TgnYDtHSBb/plain/17:37
iomari891sorry, guys. My work keeps me very busy and not at my laptop at times.17:38
RikMillsMrokii: I installed kalendar in a clean 22.10 install, and it worked out of the box. FYI, it does require a mysql server, but mariadb is what the KDE devs tend to test it with17:38
alkisgiomari891: what happens if you run: apt install libheif117:42
MrokiiRikMills: Thanks. It may just be a problem when trying to run it from years old installation that just got upgraded all the time. I'll see if I have mariadb installed. Thanks.17:45
tomreynthat's a wild mix of incompatible package sources :-(17:45
tomreynand lots of installed packages without an upgrade path17:46
alkisgtomreyn: do you know when packages are "held back" due to phased updates, if do-release-upgrade then complains it can't upgrade because there are held packages?17:46
tomreynalkisg: i would not know. but that's not the (main) issue here.17:47
alkisgEh, it's the one they complain about :D17:47
tomreyninteresting question, though, hopefully someone thought about it17:47
tomreynnot exactly. the message provided by iomari891 was "Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading" - and supposedly (untold) this is from do-release-upgrade17:48
alkisg...which I believe is due to libheif1 currently17:49
iomari891alkisg: gives an error. 1 sec ....17:49
tomreynthat may be so, yes.17:49
iomari891alkisg: The following packages have unmet dependencies:17:49
iomari891 libheif1 : Depends: libdav1d6 (>= 0.1.0) but it is not installable17:49
iomari891E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.17:49
alkisgiomari891: this then causes do-release-upgrade to complain,17:50
alkisgand the reason for that ^ message is what tomreyn said; you have a mess in your apt sources and installed packages17:50
tomreyn(though i believe it will be so as a result of mixing packages from different ubuntu and debian releases, as well as having locally installed packages from unknown sources, defining dependencies, too)17:50
iomari891should I  remove all third part repos and try again.17:51
alkisgNo, that won't fix it, you also need to fix the already installed programs17:51
alkisgWhat's the output of: apt policy libheif117:51
RikMillsif you do apt install libheif1 libdav1d617:51
RikMillsit should give you more info17:52

RikMillsI am waiting for 2304 archive to open :P17:56
RikMills23.0417:56
alkisgiomari891: when that's all done and do-release-upgrade starts, it may still fail due to the chaos you have of bad sources and installed packages; ping me then for a more harsh way of restoring sanity17:57
IrcsomeBot<Nico> hello, it's possible to run .exe apps in kubuntu? sry i'm new with this system17:57
RikMillsthe blender ppa needs disabling 1st of all17:57
RikMillsand they pinged out.....17:58
tomreynbye iomari891!17:59
* RikMills goes back to watching python 3.11 rebuild in the Lobster17:59
tomreynNico: to *some* degree, using WINE. but before you go down this rabbit hole, consider alternatives. what are you trying to run?18:00
IrcsomeBot<Nico> bob win. bobcera18:18
IrcsomeBot<Nico> it's a front end with batocera. for retro gaming18:19
IrcsomeBot<Nico> already I instaled wine but there is a pop up saying that WINE can't be opened18:20
IrcsomeBot<Nico> tomreyn, maybe you can recomend a video or YT channel for kubuntu beginners?18:22
tomreynNico: i think your best option to do retro gaming on kubuntu is to use one of the softwares provided for this purpose in the (k)ubuntu repositories. there are several.18:24
tomreyni do not know anything about the software you mentioned (bob win. bobcera, a frontend with batocera), so i do not know what it emulates or how you would do so on kubuntu, though18:25
tomreynapparently, batocera is actually a linux distrobution around retro-gaming: https://batocera.org/18:26
tomreynNico: i can't seem to find anything about this front-edn you mentioned, though, "bob win. bobcera"18:33
tomreyndo you have a url for it?18:33
IrcsomeBot<Nico> https://t.me/BOBcera/286018:37
tomreynoh, i don't have telegram, so i can only see the preview image18:46
=== liberalartist is now known as philip1
IrcsomeBot<Nico> np! thx for your time tomreyn18:51
tomreynNico: i'm not sure what this software does, but you'll probably find that batocera itself provides similar functionality, and you don'T actually need this front-end.18:51
IrcsomeBot<Nico> I see. Thanks!18:51
IrcsomeBot<ksenchy> Hi, which ntp server is being hit by default. How do I change it?19:55
tomreynksenchy: ntp.ubuntu.com, NTP=... in /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf in the [Time] section20:15
IrcsomeBot<ksenchy> Yep. I already changed. Thanks21:50
IrcsomeBot<ksenchy> Is there a reason why the poll interval is around 30mins by default? I reckon once a day is enough, the clock doesn't go bad in 30mins21:51
mmikowskiksenchy: Many years ago, I know NTP had issues syncing if the drift was too much. I don't know if this remains an issue, but that might be the reason for the relatively frequent polling.22:27
andysonwhat is this23:44
