Ask Ubuntu General Room

But at least it fixed Unity... Because I managed to kill it previously but the upgrade seemed to fix the issue like the shutdown (or should I say lack of the ability to shutdown) issue the previous upgrade fixed...

lol...all kinds of errors @NathanOsman

How come dpkg still deals in MD5sums to check authenticity? Isn't that a bit old and insecure?

TheXed

Oh...intersting...

even though I told it to go to port 81, it still went to 80

Where's the upstream dpkg project located?

ahh everything has blown up!

Nathan Osman

Are you using Raspbian?

TheXed

@NathanOsman yeah

It worked fine when I started from a clean install.

Seth

@ParanoidPanda old? yes. insecure? meh, not really.

Nathan Osman

Is the camera enabled in raspi-config?

Seth

(unless you're hashing passwords)

TheXed

Nope, using USB

Nathan Osman

Then I'm not sure if it works with those.

Yeh I know

I thought it would be fun to try...

But I am getting permission denied errors

Mateo

there was a cool still shot snap for ubuntu core that worked with usb cam's

Seth

@Mateo does it work like an IP cam?

YAWCAM is still the best webcam software IMO.

pity it's windows only.

@Seth does it run on Windows IoT?

Seth

@NathanOsman doubt it.

@NathanOsman it's not really the server kinda thing, although it can yawcam.com

Ah, well this is good, I'm starting to post more answers (or at least the same amount) than questions and they are actually often getting upvoted and accepted... :)

Seth

@Mateo looking

chaskes

@ParanoidPanda did you see the dpkg links above?

Mateo

it was promising, I tried it once on the pi 2

Seth

10:35 PM

@Mateo looks like it is just a demo though?

Mateo

it does what you need, takes snapshots

someone may have uploaded something more advanced to the snap store by now

Seth

true

user136984

@ParanoidPanda What are you talking about? Isn't even more insecure than SHA-1, haven't you heard of hash collisions?

user136984

@chaskes: No, I don't think so... Which links?

Mateo

at the time I was looking for a streaming one

@chaskes: Oh those links, right, thanks! :)

user136984

The Debian one is probably going to be the most helpful to me though, somebody already filled a report on LP but it hasn't been taken notice of in 3 years...

user136984

So probably upstream is the way to go with this...

chaskes

good point

user136984

Has anyone here upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 successfully?

user136984

Because as I haven't done so I might not be of full help here:

user136984

Q: 14.04 --> 16.04 failed; apt (>= 1.0.1ubuntu2.13)' is not installed

I was attempting to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, but apt threw this error: The required dependency 'apt (>= 1.0.1ubuntu2.13)' is not installed. What does this mean, and how can I fix it? When I type in the command apt-cache policy apt Shageenth@shageenth-Inspiron-3451:~$ apt-cache policy...
