[10:57] <NekitaNet> Hi there, been pointed here from #ubuntu and am wondering; Are there any known issues with the repo's and packages contained in them? Been trying to install ubuntu server 22.04 with xubuntu-desktop and the linux-lowlatency kernel for two nights and am running into issues. Unable to install the lowlatency kernel and nvidia-driver-525. Both because
[10:57] <NekitaNet> of packages downloaded by apt-get being borked.
[11:01] <NekitaNet> To specify; when apt-get install nvidia-driver-525 I'm running into issues with the compiler not being able to install; With the kernel the some packages won't unpack correctly. Also, there's an issue with the fonts-noto-* packages when installing xubuntu-desktop that's resolved by installing the fonts first.
[11:38] <cjwatson> If it downloads successfully (implying that checksums pass) but then fails to unpack, then I'd be strongly suspecting filesystem or hardware issues on your end
[11:39] <cjwatson> If the mirror was corrupting data then apt wouldn't get as far as trying to unpack anything
[11:39] <cjwatson> (Oh, another possibility would be bad memory, so run a memory test)
[11:53] <NekitaNet> In part I'm getting wierd eof errors when unpacking the packages. Did do a memtest even at a higher fsb speed and it passed. The only hardware issue I can think of is old thermal paste. So I'm now reinstalling the parts I can do (repeatedly without issue) and dismount the cooler afterwards (did a disk health check and it has about 600 hours since
[11:53] <NekitaNet> last rebuild with these then new SSD's).
[11:55] <NekitaNet> Btw, for xubuntu-desktop there is an issue with the fonts-noto packages trying to overwrite some already existing fonts. Installing 5 noto packages before apt'ing xubuntu-desktop solved that.
[11:55] <cjwatson> That doesn't sound like a mirroring issue - file a bug for that sort of thing
[11:56] <NekitaNet> It's so weird; most packages just install fine; Just some fail repeatedly (and yea, I've been at this two nights now; So I know where it fails, oh god!) pfff
[11:57] <NekitaNet> However, getting it done as far as I can, then check the thermal paste and waiting a while for trying the rest again.
[11:59] <NekitaNet> And btw, I should be fixing roofing tiles right now hahaha
[12:02] <NekitaNet> Oh, and if anyone asks; There's a bug in the latest 22.04.3 installer overwriting mdadm raidarrays when you only select to mount them during install; So it sets it to "new reiserfs" while it should state "existing reiserfs". 22.04.2 should be fine
[12:03] <ravage> wrong channel
[12:04] <NekitaNet> Is there ever a right one ravage?
[12:04] <ravage> if you want to report a bug the only right place is launchpad
[12:05] <NekitaNet> ;) but, main question seems good. No-one is aware of major repo issues.
[13:44] <js17> Hey folks! It looks like there's an invalid mirror in the list at http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt, namely http://ubuntu.mirror.treudler.net/ubuntu/.
[13:44] <js17> What's the proper process to get it removed? It looks like the company running that server went out of business some time ago.
[13:55] <cjwatson> Unfortunately the automatic prober just makes HEAD requests to a sampling of files and sees whether they return 200 - and this particular site returns 200 even though it's essentially returning an error response.  Naughty.
[13:56] <cjwatson> js17: I think the right thing to do would be an email to rt@ubuntu.com to ask for the status of that mirror (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ubuntu.mirror.treudler.net-archive) to be changed to Broken.
[13:56] <cjwatson> That will cause it to drop out of mirrors.txt shortly afterwards.
[13:57] <cjwatson> (Updated four times a day from LP, IIRC)
[13:57] <axino> I marked it as Broken
[13:57] <cjwatson> Thanks
[13:58] <cjwatson> I'll just force an update now
[14:04] <cjwatson> js17: Should be gone from those lists now
[14:14] <js17> Awesome, thank you! That was quicker than I expected. ;-)
