scottjl: now it's broken different way http://pastebin.com/ryDsEZb9
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 10:49:29
if this update gets to the main archive it can be literally spell the end of ubuntu and canonical
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:50:14
ilmaisin: dpkg purge cups libcupsimage2 libcupsmime1 libcupsppdc1 printer-driver-foo2zjs
nacc 2017-03-01 10:50:30
ilmaisin: lol, that's hyperbole.
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:50:33
well stuff in proposed gets thoroughly vetted before it makes it into mainline. proposed is essentially beta.
jnoob22 2017-03-01 10:51:05
ilmaisin, it's a good idea to help others who are helping you. hint.
nacc 2017-03-01 10:51:33
scottjl: i think you meant -P or --purge
jnoob22 2017-03-01 10:51:38
otherwise dont waste these guys' time. they're doing this for the love it, mate :-)
nacc 2017-03-01 10:51:41
scottjl: dpkg doesn't take command arguments (iirc)
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:52:17
yeah --purge.
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:52:26
thanks nacc
nacc 2017-03-01 10:52:43
scottjl: np
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 10:53:54
scottjl: the --purge helped something, now cups-daemon is ina "very inconsistent state"
kikiji 2017-03-01 10:54:14
exit
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:54:22
did you turn off proposed yet?
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 10:54:38
scottjl: yes i did
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:54:38
try an apt-get install -f
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:54:38
see if it can repair itself yet
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 10:55:46
scottjl: http://pastebin.com/imJrfbYh
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:56:51
dpkg --purge cups-daemon
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:57:01
i'd dpkg --list | grep cups and purge anything doing with cups
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:57:19
clean it off. then reinstall it from mainline
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:57:34
you dont want mixed pieces from proposed & mainline
nacc 2017-03-01 10:57:34
except when testing/verifying a bugfix :)
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 10:57:36
scottjl: it won't help a slight since the cups-daemon needs to be reinstalled before a removal
nacc 2017-03-01 10:57:39
as that's explicitly the instruction for doing :)
scottjl 2017-03-01 10:58:36
i think ilmaisin is already bugged
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 10:59:15
hmm, i just remembered i've been testing a my own printer driver on this machine, perhaps i'll remove it and then continue
nacc 2017-03-01 10:59:18
if need be, should be able to reinstall the correct version of cups-daemon manually
nacc 2017-03-01 10:59:21
lol
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:00:58
those files are already removed
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:01:23
anything that is showing up in dpkg --list | grep cups isn't removed (or maybe just not purged)
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:02:09
you don't want newer config files around either because they could be incompatible with the older version of cups
nacc 2017-03-01 11:02:44
scottjl: good point
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:03:28
now i ran dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq cups-daemon
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:04:07
try an apt-get install -f and see if it's happy
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:04:31
scottjl: i ran "apt install cups" and it seems to work
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:04:43
thanks for everybody
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:04:47
well you jumped the gun a little. but glad it's working

hey is there a gui tool to map keyboard combinations. i spilled something on my direction keys and want to map ALT-IJKL to the up, left, down, right
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:05:33
next i'll need to figure out what caused it
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:06:46
well seemed like some depenency conflict because of proposed.
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:06:59
staaaay away from prposed.
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:08:15
scottjl: so that the problematic packages will get to the mainline?
nacc 2017-03-01 11:08:45
ilmaisin: were you testing proposed in response to a specific bug?
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:08:49
ilmaisin: not until any issues are worked out. proposed = beta software (or even alpha)
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:09:01
there isn't any reason a normal system should be using proposed.
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:09:33
nacc: yes, i've been taking part to the troubleshooting of a bug
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:09:58
nacc: that bug was fixed with a package that caused something like this
nacc 2017-03-01 11:10:07
ilmaisin: ok, and did you use pinning to only install certain packages from proposed? or did you do an `apt upgrade` ?

nacc: yes, i was trying to install only the cups package from proposed and it's requirements to see if it will work
nacc 2017-03-01 11:11:17
ilmaisin: bug #?
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:11:25
i'll see
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:12:01
nacc: the original one is 1598300 and fix to it caused 1642966
ilmaisin 2017-03-01 11:12:44
i'll investigate it tomorrow

(dd itself doesn't care how large the file is, so it doesn't do the math for you)
nicomachus 2017-03-01 11:15:17
S0bait: most linux distros will NOT try to tell you how much time is left for a given operation. Some have a progress bar, but it's mostly guesswork. Windows has spoiled users with "progress bars" (that are 99% made up), and linux doesn't do that.

feliwir 2017-03-01 11:27:23
I tried with multiple .iso files and multiple usb sticks
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:27:38
Bashing-om: well Im not an expert but I know my way through the terminal. Well I have two disk: 1.) SSD = which I have formatted many times, 2.) HDD = which now is encrypted and I havent been able to format it. I boot Ubuntu from a USB drive (version 16.04 LTS). The problems I have been having are: 1.) I try to install Ubuntu and it goes everything smooth until de part of the User name when it stops and lags eternally or 2.) it says the US
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:27:38
B drive is corrupted so I cant do anything. I'm a little bit desesperate because I need to use my pc and I havent been able :(. Please help me
cfhowlett 2017-03-01 11:27:41
feliwir, what is the .iso?
feliwir 2017-03-01 11:27:48
Also tried from cli: "usb-creator-gtk -i path/to/iso"
feliwir 2017-03-01 11:27:59
cfhowlett, it's windows 10 i want to install it on my other drive
cfhowlett 2017-03-01 11:28:15
feliwir, nope. usb creator is for making UBUNTU usb
feliwir 2017-03-01 11:28:18
windows10 education to be precise
feliwir 2017-03-01 11:28:30
cfhowlett, so what to use? :O
k1l_ 2017-03-01 11:28:32
feliwir: that doesnt work with windows isos
feliwir 2017-03-01 11:28:48
UNetbootin not working either
bazhang 2017-03-01 11:29:00
feliwir, try ##windows
k1l_ 2017-03-01 11:29:03
feliwir: ask ##windows how to create a windows usb withtout a windows os running.
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:29:09
DJFSDFJSDF: you're installing to the ssd? is it possibble your usb drive is corrupt?
feliwir 2017-03-01 11:29:31
kidding me? You can't tell me how to create bootable windows usb stick from ubuntu
k1l_ 2017-03-01 11:29:47
feliwir: its closed source.
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:29:57
scottjl: yes, I have reinstall the OS Several times on two differentUSB one of 16 and the other of 8; the thing is after having an incorrect installation the uSB corrupts. Thats the strenage thing
cfhowlett 2017-03-01 11:29:58
feliwir, dial down the impatience, please
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:29:59
*strange
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:30:05
feliwir: try something like easy2boot
compdoc 2017-03-01 11:30:54
UNetbootin is terrible
\9 2017-03-01 11:31:12
DJFSDFJSDF: if the USB systematically fails then maybe it'd be worth to try a CD?
\9 2017-03-01 11:31:21
worth it*
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:31:35
\9: may be mmm but how did it get corrupted I dont understand
cfhowlett 2017-03-01 11:31:37
dvd perhaps. ubuntu is too large for CD
nicomachus 2017-03-01 11:31:39
\9: most OS's don't fit on a CD anymore.
\9 2017-03-01 11:31:49
oh yeah. a DVD is required then
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:32:14
jumpdrives get corrupted if you look at them funny in my experience
\9 2017-03-01 11:32:16
oh the times when ubuntu fit on a CD
\9 2017-03-01 11:32:21
well a netboot might fit
feliwir 2017-03-01 11:32:43
unetbootin won't allow me to select my drive
feliwir 2017-03-01 11:32:54
it just lists nothing for USB Drives
feliwir 2017-03-01 11:33:06
i wonder why that is even in the official repository
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:33:38
http://www.easy2boot.com/
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:33:51
works for me. and easier. install it to a drive. drop iso images in folders. boot OS of choice
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:34:09
install from there
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:34:40
new os? different version? copy iso onto drive. done.
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:34:57
this is what is says when I try to format my encrypted drive: http://imgur.com/a/Kcb3p
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:35:19
how can I fix this problem:http://imgur.com/a/Kcb3p
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:35:21
you need to unlock the drive
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:35:44
with whatever vendor utility locked it
\9 2017-03-01 11:35:54
DJFSDFJSDF: "device or resource busy" means something else is using it
\9 2017-03-01 11:36:09
make sure it's unmounted before formatting it
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:36:23
how can I do that?; the thing is its already unlocked. The thing is I cannot read or write anything on it ¿Does someone know how to give me permissions to read and write data on it?
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:36:44
you said it's encrypted, hardware encryption?
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:36:56
can you write a new clean partition table to it?
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:37:44
if you can't write a clean partition table to it. it's hardware locked/encrypted. you need to use a manufacturer utility to unlock i
compdoc 2017-03-01 11:37:52
DJFSDFJSDF, d/l and boot gparted. you can change partition types and create or delete partitions. but, you should probably allow the ubuntu installer create new partitionsa
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:37:57
I for got how to use it, but I think chown command will do the work to give me full access to the drive
compdoc 2017-03-01 11:39:02
chown sets file premissions, but you are wanting the whole drive paritions, so its a waste of time
shalinsfinest 2017-03-01 11:39:17

guys?
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:43:23
DJFSDFJSDF: some suggestions were offered. see if you can boot a gparted disk and re-partition your HD
compdoc 2017-03-01 11:43:27
boot gparted, or boot the ubuntu desktop and run gparted there
DJFSDFJSDF 2017-03-01 11:44:17
scottjl: im creating the partition how much must the minium size be?
scottjl 2017-03-01 11:44:52
for the OS? 8g should be good. 16G better. or as much as you can spare
