Your "failed" upgrade may well just be that it ran out of space downloading the packages and never even started trying to install them
state 2017-03-08 08:55:31
phogg, The multimedia packages like calf-audio-plugins are ancient in stable, hence the need to move to sid. There are a lot of bugs in the older version of calf
TechSmurf 2017-03-08 08:55:53
Next step, apt-get upgrade, see how much it wants to download, if it's excessive, hit N to reject it, and apt-get install some of the packages from the list of what apt-get upgrade wanted to do, accepting any dependencies it tosses at you, and again checking to ensure the download isn't excessive
somiaj 2017-03-08 08:55:58
or look into backports.
phogg 2017-03-08 08:56:04
state: I'm still not following. You need newer packages, not "upgrading to sid." Just backport.

Hi there
greycat 2017-03-08 08:56:32
Why would you jump all the way to sid instead of just going to stretch?
phogg 2017-03-08 08:56:34
I don't think anyone should dist-upgrade to sid.
state 2017-03-08 08:56:46
phogg, There are also a lot of attendant libraries that come with newer packages
state 2017-03-08 08:57:36
calf is one example, I also use blender, darktable, ardour, lv2 plugins
greycat 2017-03-08 08:57:37
Also, I hate it when children call things that are more than 1 year old "ancient".
phogg 2017-03-08 08:57:41
state: It's your time and effort
state 2017-03-08 08:57:57
greycat, 2014 is older than one year, daddy
state 2017-03-08 08:58:21
(calf plugins in stable)
TechSmurf 2017-03-08 08:58:37
Most of debian stable has a nasty habit of being ancient.. but that kinda is what makes it stable ;)
greycat 2017-03-08 08:58:39
Gasp. It's TWO WHOLE YEARS old.
greycat 2017-03-08 08:58:46
You poor little thing, oh the pain.
state 2017-03-08 08:58:58
greycat, We are in 2017
nikitasius 2017-03-08 08:59:05
TechSmurf: anyway people can change to unstable and install what they need.. usually without killing a system :)
greycat 2017-03-08 08:59:06
Very early part of 2017.
nikitasius 2017-03-08 08:59:32
like pam_mysql with sha1 support in :)
TechSmurf 2017-03-08 08:59:46
state: nikitasius brings up a good point... forget dist-upgrading to sid, just try installing the packages you need and their deps :P
nikitasius 2017-03-08 08:59:59
TechSmurf: thats how i do, usually :)
jhutchins_wk 2017-03-08 09:09:16
Dice-Man: Why does that matter?
Dice-Man 2017-03-08 09:09:42

jhutchins_wk 2017-03-08 09:10:16

nikitasius 2017-03-08 09:10:20
somiaj: 0.7~RC1-4+b3 -> Mon, 09 Jan 2006 "pam-mysql 0.7RC1 is released." holy shit!
Dice-Man 2017-03-08 09:10:21

Dice-Man 2017-03-08 09:10:35

TechSmurf 2017-03-08 09:13:48

darsie 2017-03-08 09:34:03
I installed openjdk-8-jre-headless icedtea-7-plugin openjdk-8-jre but JBidwatcher still tells me to install Oracle java 8.
nickgaw 2017-03-08 09:37:20
Hi, I have several downloads I need to download from Amazon S3 that have odd access keys in the download links and while I can download them using a browser putting all of the downloads into one shell script and putting quotes around the long urls would be best but wget does not like the long urls as changes happen is there some type of content trusting or option that lets it act like a browser?
darsie 2017-03-08 09:37:20
I want to snipe an ebay auction and not stay up till 3:33 am or give my password to some web service.
somiaj 2017-03-08 09:37:32
nickgaw: afiak there are some tools from amazon you cna access s3 accounts with them and not need crazy browser links
Dice-Man 2017-03-08 09:37:58
jhutchins_wk: i've created a connection through the graphical editor it keeps stucking
somiaj 2017-03-08 09:37:59
nickgaw: there is even s3fs so you can mount an s3 share and use rsync/cp
nickgaw 2017-03-08 09:38:12
even programs that I buy from other users that use Amazon services I can use with them?
darsie 2017-03-08 09:38:33

somiaj 2017-03-08 09:38:39
nickgaw: I don't know what you meay programs you buy from others.
somiaj 2017-03-08 09:38:57
