daniel331: A thought then, can you log into a guest account or a different DE ?
MuffinMedic 2017-01-29 14:50:44
Hello. I restarted my server and now I have no "int" address in ifconfig - here is the output from systemctl when i try to restart the networking service - http://pastebin.com/q0caJnwi
MuffinMedic 2017-01-29 14:51:17
and this is /etc/network/interfaces http://pastebin.com/Qz7ViHf6
camthesaxman 2017-01-29 14:51:31
How do I set the default version of GCC? I have 4.6 and 5.1 installed, and I want it to use 5.1 when I type gcc. This has to work in scripts, so alias won't work.
ejat 2017-01-29 14:51:35
http://paste.ubuntu.com/23891178/ <-- is it safe to proceed ?
OerHeks 2017-01-29 14:53:06
ejat, sure, and run 'sudo apt autoremove' for those orphan packages
Bashing-om 2017-01-29 14:55:05
ejat: ^^ looks too like what is the be removed is to be replaced with upgraded packages .
ejat 2017-01-29 14:55:56
new libreoffice includes the font ?
ejat 2017-01-29 14:56:13
tried to look the 5.3 changlelog
ejat 2017-01-29 14:56:26
doesnt mention about the font n etc
xangua 2017-01-29 14:58:02
"the font"? ejat
daniel331 2017-01-29 14:58:25
@Bashing-om I'm afraid not. The error appears before, or actually right at the start, of the gdm startup process. so i cant log into a different user thru the login screen...
ejat 2017-01-29 14:58:46
fonts-stix <--
daniel331 2017-01-29 14:58:47
... i could install a different DE but that seems like a bad idea, from when i did that to my own systems in the past :-(
Bashing-om 2017-01-29 15:00:44
MuffinMedic: The stsctl command indicates systemd as the initiate system . as uch in systemd the inteerface naming conventions are changed . no longer 'eth0' . what shows ' ifconfig ' for the interface name ?
budder 2017-01-29 15:00:47
i'm having trouble understanding something. Can somebody please tell me which kernel version lubuntu 14.04 has? because it appears that later releases have older kernels, so i'm confused
MuffinMedic 2017-01-29 15:01:02
Bashing-om: still eth0
MuffinMedic 2017-01-29 15:01:08
one sec, i will post it

budder: 3.13 if you haven't updeated the hardware enablement stack, and i believe 4.4 if you have
budder 2017-01-29 15:02:24
wedgie: so what is the hardware enablement stack? I want the latest version of lubuntu withOUT the 4.x kernel
Bashing-om 2017-01-29 15:02:35
daniel331: Concur on not adding a DE / what release is this again ? .. maybe boot to terminal, can try and start the GUI - see then what errors ?
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-29 15:03:19
camthesaxman, man update-alternatives
Bashing-om 2017-01-29 15:05:07
MuffinMedic: Humm that says you have no problem .. running ipv6 // can not say about ipv4, however .
MuffinMedic 2017-01-29 15:05:30
yea Bashing-om , it's strange.
Bashing-om 2017-01-29 15:06:15

is there a jre installed with ubuntu-gnome-desktop?
pos 2017-01-29 15:11:12
there is libreoffice, so I had assumed there was a jre, but I can't find it
camthesaxman 2017-01-29 15:11:26
Oh man, how I really hate the Debian alternatives system!
