| npm | any suggestions on getting my kup & bup based backup on kubuntu working again. I get this error from "bup index" --"File "/usr/lib/bup/cmd/../bup/hlinkdb.py", line 10, in pickle_load return pickle.load(f, encoding='bytes')" .... "_pickle.UnpicklingError: pickle data was truncated" | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| npm | why do my updates now say "The following security updates require Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled: libzmq5 python2.7-minimal libmagickwand-6.q16-6 python2.7 imagemagick-6.q16hdri libmagickcore-6.q16hdri-6-extra libmagickcore-6.q16hdri-6 libmagickwand-6.q16hdri-6 libopenexr24 libsdl2-2.0-0 libmysofa1 libmagickcore-6.q16-6 libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib imagemagick-6-common" | 00:30 |
| npm | how come these updates aren't part of regular ubuntu? | 00:31 |
| tomreyn | npm: which kubuntu release is this? | 00:43 |
| shadowhawk | hello! | 00:45 |
| shadowhawk | I am trying to get COMPIZ to work. Wobbly windows. I applied the settings but now I cant MOVE the windows or ressize htem | 00:45 |
| shadowhawk | them* | 00:45 |
| tomreyn | i don't think compiz is meant to work with the kde / plasma / qt world - but could be wrong | 00:49 |
| user|60 | czesc | 00:51 |
| user|60 | pleaase help me | 00:51 |
| tomreyn | hi user|60, please ask your kubuntu support question | 00:51 |
| user|60 | ok | 00:51 |
| user|60 | i would like to install linux on my laptop | 00:52 |
| tomreyn | have you decided on a distribution, yet? | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | this channel is just about the kubuntu linux distribution | 00:53 |
| user|60 | write now i have debian distro | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | i think you mean "right now" | 00:54 |
| user|60 | yes | 00:54 |
| user|60 | sory | 00:54 |
| tomreyn | if you want to replace your debian installation by a kubuntu installation, looosing all data / after backing up all data, you can just download the kubuntu installer, write it to a usb stick (using e.g. balena etcher) and then boot off that and install | 00:55 |
| user|60 | but i have multi problem | 00:55 |
| user|60 | i dont have any importand data | 00:56 |
| npm | @tomreyn Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | npm: there's #ubuntu for ubuntu support, probably the better place then | 00:57 |
| npm | I'm running kubuntu | 00:57 |
| tomreyn | oh, you just said "Ubuntu" | 00:58 |
| npm | which is based on 20.04.5LTS | 00:58 |
| npm | becaause i cut/paste /etc/issue | 00:58 |
| tomreyn | i see :) | 00:58 |
| user|60 | there is a problem whit it i have downloaded kubuntu and when i try to boot i have file is missing and else problemws | 00:58 |
| npm | but i'm sure the problem would exist for regular ubuntu as well | 00:58 |
| user|60 | anyone can tel me step by step whot shoul i do | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | npm: so, you have packages from universe installed, which have "best effort" support level unless you have an ubuntu pro subscription, which i think is what this message is saying. on a side note, kubuntu 20.04 LTS is supported until april this year. | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | user|60: this sounds like either the downloaded iso file may be corrupt, or it was not properly written to the installation media | 01:02 |
| user|60 | aha | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | user|60: using balena etcher you can prevent either, or at least get to know when it happens. | 01:02 |
| user|60 | what is balena etcher | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | a cross-platform / multiple OS software for downloading and writing installation iso images to installation media | 01:03 |
| user|60 | nice | 01:04 |
| user|60 | one more question | 01:04 |
| user|60 | what linux shoud i chose | 01:05 |
| user|60 | my laptop acer aspire 5720g | 01:05 |
| tomreyn | well, this channel is only about kubuntu, so the obvious answer is kubuntu | 01:05 |
| user|60 | its very old | 01:05 |
| tomreyn | there is also #linux | 01:05 |
| user|60 | thank you and good night | 01:06 |
| npm | @tomreyn -- 20.04.5 is supported till 2025 https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle | 01:08 |
| npm | but yes per "comm -12 <(apt-cache dumpavail | grep-dctrl -nsPackage -FSection universe/ |sort) <(dpkg --get-selections | awk '$2 == "install" { print $1 }' |sort)" i have many packages installed from "universe" | 01:11 |
| tomreyn | npm: note that i was referring to kubuntu, not ubuntu. this is #kubuntu | 01:13 |
| tomreyn | "pro security-status" might be the easier command | 01:14 |

| npm | oh i see "This machine is receiving security patching for Ubuntu Main/Restricted repository until 2025." ... "Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled provides security updates for Universe/Multiverse packages until 2030 and has 15 pending security updates." | 01:16 |
| npm | i guess i should try out my "Ubuntu Pro with a free personal subscription on up to 5 machines." and get on with it.... | 01:17 |
| IrcsomeBot | <rcpp85> tomreyn beat me! Was about to say Ubuntu flavours have different life span support. I did the same mistake a month or so ago. Hehe! | 01:18 |
| tomreyn | npm: and not that many of kubuntu's packages are not in main/restricted (but universe) | 01:19 |
| tomreyn | *notE | 01:19 |
| npm | so because the KDE packages are part of "universe" is why you're saying that Kubuntu ends support in April 2023? | 01:20 |
| IrcsomeBot | <rcpp85> npm: be in mind these are Ubuntu related and not Kubuntu. So I'm still not sure if you are using Ubuntu, has a Ubuntu server somewhere or have a mix of Ubuntu with KDE package | 01:20 |
| npm | i'm using Kubuntu . | 01:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <rcpp85> Kubuntu is a distro, with its own schedule and life time. (re @IrcsomeBot: <npm> so because the KDE packages are part of "universe" is why you're saying that Kubuntu ends support in April 2023?) | 01:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <rcpp85> They have no support from canonical in general, so they can't keep up for too long | 01:22 |
| npm | ok well thanks for clearing up my confusion. (but i really really don't want to upgrade to 22.04) | 01:22 |
| tomreyn | npm: ubuntu and kubuntu share the same foundation (base packages), but many if not most of the GUI packages in ubuntu (gnome-shell/mutter) are in main and receive 5 years of security support, whereas most of those of kubuntu are in universe and receive community support - good community support for 3 years, then none, i guess, or just if someone gets around to it. | 01:25 |
| tomreyn | and that boils down to saying, simplified, Kubuntu LTS gets security support for 3 years, Ubuntu LTS for 5 years | 01:25 |
| npm | ok thanks for making that clear. | 01:26 |
