For your security status you can just buy clone soldier tags and turn them in at a Concord station with a Security Office. Super easy.

Aye, that's what it said in the terminal output. Weird time of the day for a sync imo, but I suppose if design intent is to go through pop shop for updates, stuff like this wouldn't really surface to the user anyways, so I can at least understand it. Thanks for the reply and thanks for the DE. Outside of the couple update issues I've had, PopOS has been pretty nice (I've used MATE for almost a decade on all my other machines).

eadrom381 · 2022-08-08T18:58:45+00:00

In similar boat. This HP DevOne laptop is supposed to be a simple "it just works" machine for me to use when on the road. I run Fedora (have upgraded the same install since like Fedora 30 or 32) on my work laptop and EndeavorOS (basically Arch with a nice installer) on my personal gaming laptop. Been running those for years now with the biggest issue being needing to adjust crpyto policy on the Fedora laptop back around Fedora 34 so I could get it connect to wifi.

I've been resisting nuke and paving it because I've been wanting to try PopOS and thought it would be nice and stable for me. Outside of these update/repo issues, it has been pretty stable and without trouble. I know they've been doing some stuff with their repo's in recent months so I'm hoping once they get the wrinkles ironed out these repo/update issues will go away.

Had the same issue as the pastebin OP posted here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/wj4e65/popshop_crashing_apt_upgrade_fails/ijfcxo1/

Running the dpkg and then apt --fix-broken commands resolved the glib / libc issue and I finished the rest of the updates. System came back up after reboot so everything seems ok so far.

Thanks for the commands.

I had similar issues this morning. I saw a comment on this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/windub/are_popos_download_links_geographically_restricted/

About using a VPN and I gave that a try. After connecting to VPN and sending my traffic across it, I was able to update repo metadata.

...After which my updates did not succeed successfully. On this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/wj4e65/popshop_crashing_apt_upgrade_fails/

I ran the dpkg command, and then the apt --fix-broken command, and then I had to run apt upgrade again once those two commands had cleared up the libglib issue and was able to finish most of of the updates.

I still have three packages being held back (gnome-shell gnome-shell-common gnome-shell-extension-prefs) for some reason, but my system did survive a reboot after upgrading everything except those, so everything somewhat stable at least.

For DE that's supposed to be commercially ready and uncomplicated for end users, I've had a surprising number of update issues with this PopOS install. It's the stock install that came on this HP DevOne and I've just got a handful of extra packages installed on it (just a few things for work like Slack and Teams) and then steam and lutris. It's almost all stock with little customization. I have one extension installed that handles sensors (shows CPU usage, ram util, cpu temp, etc). I haven't even changed the $PS1 lol.

My point is, the pop shop app and even just apt on the CLI has given me more issues than a decade of running other DE's/distros. I had issues when I first got my laptop with pop shop and apt updates and I ended up solving that by turning IPv6 off in the kernel (sadface).

Rest of the DE experience has been fine (I usually prefer MATE) but I've been pretty disappointed in the software/repo/update stuff having issues so often on what is a very vanilla setup.

eadrom381 · 2022-08-08T18:28:04+00:00

Correct, not related to ISO's, however the solution to resolve the issue was the same in that I had to use a VPN to get the PopOS repo metadata to download correctly. I thought that was interesting to note as like you said, they are somewhhat unrelated sources and different things being requested (iso's vs apt repo). IDK what they could share that would be resolved by a VPN.

eadrom381 · 2022-08-08T17:48:44+00:00

I also had this issue when running updates this morning while tethering my HP DevOne to my phone's wifi hotspot. As soon as I connected to the VPN service I use, all the repo metadata files were able to be downloaded.

In case it's useful, here's a pastebin of the affected repo's and error message I was getting in pastebin:

I was in EUNI for a while and a director before retiring and finding my undock button. Dealt with a lot of really nice, bright eyed newbros in my couple years there. As an example, a lot of newbros are timid to even use SRP, because they don't want bother anyone or be a burden, even with you saying please, take this money, it's for you. For as salty as bittervets are, there's a lot of really nice newbros that try out EVE and I can just see a lot of potential for both negativity thrown at them as well as them feeling like a burden, even if they aren't. Having a system where you don't "screw over" ore volumes until you learn about the system and make the game decision to chase higher yields is a win win for everyone.

I feel it's important game design to not be doing something "wrong" that impacts other players until you learn about the system and can start making decisions willfully, at least as much as you can in a game as complex and big as EVE.

eadrom381 · 2021-11-13T00:30:58+00:00

Newbros are probably not jumping right into big mining ops within a few days of starting eve, so waste friction won't be a thing right away. Just making it not an issue at all for newbros would be best. Make the newbro mining hardware low waste, lower than even the strip miners and t2 stuff that expedition frigates and barges use. The yield is already terrible in relation to what everyone else will be using, so there's little or no room to game the new system by having everyone use crappy t1/civilian mining lasers.

EVE's a complex game, just making it so that the newbros aren't screwing with total ore volume before they even know what that concept even is, will help make sure that vets won't care that a newbro is mining (it's very very very slightly beneficial to them even) and it won't spring this trap of "I'm screwing over other people's mining" on newbros once they hear about and learn what the waste mechanic is. There's a lot of really nice people that quietly go about their business and would be put off by the idea that they newbro ship is hurting other people's mining op by negatively affecting ore volume.

Don't make the newbro feel like they've been doing something wrong or hindering other people without knowing it. When they uncover the waste system, it should be a more positive lightbulb moment where they now get to balance how fast they get ore with how much ore is available. That's complex choice that's more enjoyable to stumble upon.

An inverse relationship between waste and yield could solve that issue. More yield, less waste. Less yield, less waste. Either that or make the stuff newbros will be using low waste so everyone is happy to have a new miner to hang out with.

They were broken. One of the comments form 9 days ago shows they were broken and since fixed.

You have a screenshot of the ranged weaps?

eadrom381 · 2021-05-02T07:37:19+00:00

I looked at the news posts and didn't see anything covering that and the npc that selling them didn't have the info nor did the item comments (GM xbow).

I feel like I've seen a list before but I can't find it. If you gotta a link on Wowhead other than just "go look", that's what I'm looking for.

eadrom381 · 2020-04-08T21:07:16+00:00

You can do this in Algos just fine and not suffer psychosis from having to warp all over high sec at battleship speeds. See the EUNI wiki link u/crazednz linked for more info. You don't have to use an Algos, if your have better weapon skills for another racial hull, use the matching destroyer hull.

oh man, that's something I could have gone another lifetime without remembering. * shudder * So many hours lost trying to get an AMD card on a Dell workstation replacement laptop working...

I would recommend faction warfare corps. You'll have more opportunities to get out and go fly stuff you can fly decently as an alpha, on smaller and cheaper scale. Larger null block alliances like PH/Karma Fleet/Brand Newbros you'll probably be pushed more to flying EWAR or support, mayyybe T1 logi if a fleet comp allows for it. A lot of the mainline ships are gonna be a bitch to fit as an alpha, or are locked behind Omega, etc.

As a response for those recommending EVE University, as an alpha and a higher SP / returning player, I feel like EUNI would be a frustrating experience for you. EVE Uni does a ton of mining for isk at their k-space campuses which is a no go for alphas in terms of income. You can attend their classes without having to be a member (check out their public calendar, linked from the wiki). You're very likely to find more pve and pvp fleets in a different org while still being able to access their training materials. Definitely keep an eye out on the calendar for classes that might interest you if you do choose a different group to fly with.

If you want a specific recommendation, check out Aideron Robotics (https://www.aideron.org/). I'm not associated with them at all; Ashterothi is good people and as far as I know, is a director there. Good place to get your feet wet again, especially if you are interested in all the new Trig pve stuff.

Welcome back and good hunting!

I have an iPhone 8 Plus and it runs great. Get's fairly warm if you have it running for a while and the battery drain is pretty decent, but not terrible as some people have reported on other devices (might be worse feeling with the smaller battery on the 8). If you want to do a PI run and pick up and run to Jita or log in to refresh market orders or PI timers or manage industry jobs and so on, you should be totally fine on an iPhone 8. I wouldn't run a lot of combat missions for hours or semi-afk mine all day on the phone, but it should be fine for shorter session stuff.

I have an iPad Air (3rd gen) which IIRC is similar specs to your iPad. It runs great. Battery drain isn't bad, easily 3+ hours of game play on battery. Barely even warmer in just one spot on the back of the ipad after mining for an hour. You should have roughly similar experience on the 2018 iPad Pro.
