Blueskaj I'm hard wired in now and things look no good....Keep getting the failed to fetch error
BluesKaj 2017-02-28 04:47:08

BluesKaj 2017-02-28 04:48:43
Carly,o r try sudo apt update
tatertots 2017-02-28 04:48:46
Carly: hard wire the system, and really give some thought to if you really require ubuntu "server"...sounds like you'd be very dependent on a gui AND network manager
Carly 2017-02-28 04:49:08
All I wanted was the regular desktop I have no idea how to fix this now
SwamiDevaNiravo 2017-02-28 04:49:38

Sweet ok
BluesKaj 2017-02-28 04:55:44
Carly, if you're a former windows user KDE/Plasma desktop will look more familiar than Ubuntu/Unity desktop
Carly 2017-02-28 04:56:14
Swamidevaniravo...I am szwedo beginner as I have Ubuntu desktop on all of my computer's and I'm trying to really kind of teach myself about it
BluesKaj 2017-02-28 04:56:49

SwamiDevaNiravo 2017-02-28 04:57:40

nicomachus 2017-02-28 04:59:29
SwamiDevaNiravo: please don't over-complicate things...
BluesKaj 2017-02-28 04:59:43
Carly, mate is a different desktop, no point changing horses in midstream here
pavlos 2017-02-28 04:59:54
Carly, another ubuntu flavor, see http://ubuntu-mate.org/
OerHeks 2017-02-28 05:00:10

OerHeks 2017-02-28 05:01:38

bonsaitree 2017-02-28 05:08:19

yakiza 2017-02-28 05:08:30

k1l 2017-02-28 05:09:50

BluesKaj 2017-02-28 05:11:11

k1l 2017-02-28 05:15:47
yakiza: what do you mean with "i need to upgrade to a newer kernel" and what did you do?
uskerine 2017-02-28 05:16:18
hi, how can I install this package: https://nightly.odoo.com/extra/
Pranayama 2017-02-28 05:16:33
he needs a newer kernel to enable hardware
uskerine 2017-02-28 05:16:39
I have previously done this: wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -
uskerine 2017-02-28 05:16:39
# echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/10.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:16:40
i cannot do that because my ethernet cart doesnt work thats why i am upgrading to a newer kernel , because i bought a new msi motherboard i found out that the current version of my kernel doesnt support my ethernet card so i have to upgrade it i did try to upgrade it but you saw that i got a log in loop
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:16:44
k1l
k1l 2017-02-28 05:17:59
yakiza: what kernel are you on now "uname -a" will tell you, and what kernel did you install?
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:18:29
4.4.0
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:18:34
-62
Pranayama 2017-02-28 05:20:16
yakiza, which network card do you have?
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:20:46
aeroth something it is because of kernel cause in ubuntu 16.10 that uses newer kernel my ethernet card works
Pranayama 2017-02-28 05:21:17
yakiza : do you known the command MODPROBE ?
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:21:45
Pranayama: no i am not really experienced with linux
Pranayama 2017-02-28 05:22:15
modprobe loads a driver of a card without compile the kernel
k1l 2017-02-28 05:22:18
yakiza: did you make a new install?
OerHeks 2017-02-28 05:22:25
yakiza, why don't you start with the 16.10??
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:22:26
i did this

bonsaitree 2017-02-28 05:22:44
Why the *main* software repository is not present in the sources.list file? I have restricted, universe and multiverse, but *main* is not present. Thanks in advance.
k1l 2017-02-28 05:23:01
that is a bad howto.
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:23:13
cause i have loads of things installed and i need my internet cause i have some deadlines for 2 of my projects comming up and i dont have time to set up a new system
k1l 2017-02-28 05:23:30
yakiza: ubuntu ships the 4.8 kernel from 16.10 in the official repos.
X_asdasd 2017-02-28 05:23:54
Any way to install google chrome on 32-bit lubuntu ?
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:23:58
k1l here ? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10-rc1/
k1l 2017-02-28 05:24:11
bonsaitree: maybe you clicked that away in the system settings?
k1l 2017-02-28 05:24:36
yakiza: no, that is the mainline kernel. they are missing a lot of ubuntu service
OerHeks 2017-02-28 05:24:36
yakiza, curious, how did you install any software if you needed a newer kernel for networking, and that kernel never worked??
k1l 2017-02-28 05:24:36
!hwe | yakiza
ubottu 2017-02-28 05:24:36
yakiza: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
ducasse 2017-02-28 05:24:36
X_asdasd: try chromium instead
charlie_sanders 2017-02-28 05:24:36
X_asdasd, sure
k1l 2017-02-28 05:24:53
X_asdasd: there is no 32bit chrome anymore.
X_asdasd 2017-02-28 05:25:29
ohh shiit :/
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:25:33
OerHeks: i just changed my motherboard i didnt install anything i changed motherboard see that ethernet doesnt work research i saw that it was kernels problem and i download with y phone the new kernel to install

ubottu 2017-02-28 05:27:24
yakiza: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:28:00
k1l what do you mean !hwe?
k1l 2017-02-28 05:28:39
yakiza: see the bots message and link. there is a backports kernel from 16.10 to 16.04 that has support by ubuntu.
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:29:49
k1l i checked it but i am kind of confused
ducasse 2017-02-28 05:30:40
yakiza: you can tether your phone to get an internet connection, then install the hwe packages
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:30:43

yakiza: connect with usb cable
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:32:16
ducasse: i download the files to my phone then i pass it to my pc with usb i just dotn understand what file to download
ioria 2017-02-28 05:33:03
yakiza, we told you weeks ago to install 16.10 . why you haven't done that ? now you need to reboot on the that 4.6 kernel, and if ethernet works, install from the console the 16.10 kernel and xorg (maybe first purge your nvidia)
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:34:03
ioria i know man well reall life reasons no time... i purged nvidia i just need to install newer kernel
bismark 2017-02-28 05:34:28
i want to install openstack using conjure-up, but i want to do it using a 300 GB partition
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:34:31
ioria i just dont have time to set up new system i have some deadlines close...
ioria 2017-02-28 05:34:37
yakiza, reboot on 4.6 .... on that network works, right ?
bonsaitree 2017-02-28 05:34:45
k1l:Isn't the *main* software repository the most important one which brings you the updates directly from Canonical? I think i haven't clicked that away, are you able to help me get that back?
bismark 2017-02-28 05:34:47
where should i have to mount that partition?
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:34:49
i dont have 4.6
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:34:55
i just have 4.4
ioria 2017-02-28 05:35:30
yakiza, sorry, haven't you install another kernel from mainline ppa ?
ioria 2017-02-28 05:35:35
*ed
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:35:48
i installed 4.10 but i get stuck in log in loop
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:35:49
ioria
ioria 2017-02-28 05:36:11
yakiza, can you boot with that kernel from grub ?
nacc 2017-02-28 05:36:22
bonsaitree: main doesn't get updates, generally, fwiw -- it's the release archive, though
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:36:23
yes give me a sec ioria
ioria 2017-02-28 05:36:26
yakiza, if yes, just open a console
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:36:39
ok
nacc 2017-02-28 05:36:42
bonsaitree: 'main' just refers to the supported-ness of packages, technically
nacc 2017-02-28 05:37:41

ubottu 2017-02-28 05:37:41
bonsaitree: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories.
yakiza 2017-02-28 05:38:20
ioria i am in
bonsaitree 2017-02-28 05:38:25
nacc:Thanks
ioria 2017-02-28 05:38:31
yakiza, ping www.google.com
k1l 2017-02-28 05:39:04
bonsaitree: "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | nc termbin.com 9999" and show that link here
yakiza1 2017-02-28 05:40:53
ioria i can ping
ioria 2017-02-28 05:41:19
yakiza, ok, so we want to install the 16.10 kernel and xorg ?
yakiza1 2017-02-28 05:41:46
ioria yes but i dont want to loose filea
yakiza1 2017-02-28 05:42:11
ioria if i can only upgrade just the kernel would be so nice
ioria 2017-02-28 05:42:35
yakiza, no, you can't upgrade ... you need to install a different package
k1l 2017-02-28 05:42:37
the hwe stack, to be precisse
ioria 2017-02-28 05:42:56
yakiza, linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04
yakiza1 2017-02-28 05:43:21
i write w gwt to that? ioria
yakiza1 2017-02-28 05:43:26
wget
k1l 2017-02-28 05:43:32
yakiza1: no, not wget
ioria 2017-02-28 05:43:36
yakiza, wait, first purge nvidia sudo apt purge nvidia
ioria 2017-02-28 05:43:40
yakiza, wait, first purge nvidia sudo apt purge nvidia*
yakiza1 2017-02-28 05:44:11
ioria but nvidia in 16.04 works fine should i do it anyway? ioria
k1l 2017-02-28 05:44:18
yakiza1: use apt to install official pacakges. "sudo apt install packagename" so it loads it from the repos and installs it.
ioria 2017-02-28 05:44:43
yakiza, how did you install nvidia ?
ioria 2017-02-28 05:45:02
yakiza, from ppa , from the official repo ?
