lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:07:34
just did do install-upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 LTS. Now the login screen doesn't come up. When I type in lightdm from a TTY it gives me: "plymouth: symbol lookup error: plymouth: undefined symbol: ply_command_parser_add_command_alias"
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:08:03
Oh yeah, and as always: Linux PowerPC ;)
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:08:09
lord-ragnarock: try sudo service lightdm restart
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:09:30
Still just a blinking cursor :/
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:10:02
lord-ragnarock: did the upgrade give any warnings or so?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:11:10
a few. One about gtk3.0, another about unity, mostly dependency errors IIRC.
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:11:32
lord-ragnarock: try "sudo dpkg-configure -a" also "sudo apt-get -f install"
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:11:58
hold on there's a typo
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:12:12
try sudo apt-get -f install , i'll get you the other command
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:12:34
lord-ragnarock: sudo dpkg --configure -a
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:13:02
"Correcting dependencies..." Oh wow I wonder what's going on now hahaha
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:13:12
hopefully good stuff :D
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:13:43
I'm an Arch regular, but I put Ubuntu on this 1995 Power Mac to give it new life last week.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:13:53
Uh, what does that second command exactly do? :P
mnms_ 2017-02-22 22:14:07
Hi. I have 2 disks in software RAID 1(mirror) and each of them has swap and / partition. I would like to replace them with bigger disks. How should I do that? I should add bigger disk with swap and bigger / partition and add it to raid and then sync it with other smaller disk after sync remove smaller disks?
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:14:08
lord-ragnarock: the same thing i think
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:14:10
looks like updating everything to the latest?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:15:13
112MB. Not bad considering my HD's 16GB hahaha
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:15:27
lord-ragnarock: :D
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:16:07
While that's going on, I feel like sharing what all this Mac can do now cause of Ubuntu :D
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:16:42
For one the USB card works, so now I can use my wireless keyboard and my wireless-N stick
ca1hax 2017-02-22 22:16:45
Hey Guys I have a laptop with Intel and Nvidia Drivers, I'm trying to use the open source driver for the nvidia card, but when I play games it uses the intel graphics, can I uninstall the intel graphics driver and only use the nvidia driver?
mnms_ 2017-02-22 22:17:26
or should I ask on ubuntu-server about raid stuff?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:17:50
And I can also use modern word processors and browse most of the modern web, except youtube cause it's only a 300MHz processor :)
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:18:20
22 years of a happy life, and this computer's still living it
anddam 2017-02-22 22:33:13
Rhythmbox is not showing an ipod 2G connected to USB, both Files and Shotwell started and displayed their specific content tho'
anddam 2017-02-22 22:33:24
what could this be? I don't have a "device" entry on left column
sobersabre 2017-02-22 22:37:54
hi, dnsmasq questions.
sobersabre 2017-02-22 22:38:46
I have configured dnsmasq (IMHO properly). now when I'm using tools like dig, I can resolve things, if I'm using nslookup - it works. if I do getent hosts and even it works.
tatertots 2017-02-22 22:39:06
mnms_: in order to not have to ask a bunch of questions that may get vague answers do the following
sobersabre 2017-02-22 22:39:08
But if in ~/.ssh/config Under Hostname I have fqdn, and I'm trying to connect to it - it does not work.
sobersabre 2017-02-22 22:39:12
very weird.
tatertots 2017-02-22 22:39:20
mnms_: in terminal> sudo apt install inxi pastebinit
sobersabre 2017-02-22 22:39:20
ideas are welcome.
tatertots 2017-02-22 22:40:20
mnms_: let me know when its done
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:41:12
EriC^^, Oh sweet! I got lightdm now :D
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:41:34
It's kind of a lower resolution than originally, but better than nothing
anddam 2017-02-22 22:41:44
also in nautilus I see the "Documents on MyIpod" entry but I'm not sure how that's mounted
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 22:41:58
lord-ragnarock: great!
anddam 2017-02-22 22:42:00
is it the gvfsd-fuse I see for /run/user/
anddam 2017-02-22 22:42:02
?
anddam 2017-02-22 22:42:09
I'd like to cd into that folder but I don't get how
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:42:14
logging in to test
mnms_ 2017-02-22 22:42:26
tatertots: have it
tatertots 2017-02-22 22:42:57
mnms_: in terminal> inxi -Fxxrzc0|pastebinit
tatertots 2017-02-22 22:43:05
mnms_: press enter, then share the url/link here
tatertots 2017-02-22 22:43:20
mnms_: that's a number 0 not the letter O btw
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-22 22:44:46
Looks like the whole update may have taken away xfce. let's install that real quick :P
