allan_ok01:12
jribpython2.4, you have because it is included in ubuntu 6.10, moving on...01:13
allan_ok01:13

allan_i did go there01:15
jribhow did you download ncrypt?01:15
jribok, did you read the instructions there?01:15
allan_yes but i dont understand it01:15
allan_brb01:15
allan_be right back01:15
jribk01:15
allan_ok back01:18
XzenomeI wish someone would just create deb for things like this, it would stop so many of the questions.01:18
allan_now what01:18
naliothjrib: debs for what?01:19
jriballan_: if you want to grab my attention, type my name01:19
allan_jrib01:19
allan_know what01:19
jribnalioth: allan_ wants to install http://cspace.in/01:19
allan_do i do01:20
=== nalioth doesn't even know what that is
allan_?01:20
jribnalioth: this is my first encounter with it oo01:20
jriballan_: which ncrypt file did you download?01:20
allan_ncrypt-0.6.4.tar.gz01:21
jriballan_: ok, on your desktop correct?01:21
allan_yeah01:21
jriballan_: open a terminal and type:  cd ~/Desktop    remember capitalization is important01:22
nalioth!info ncrypt01:22
ubotuPackage ncrypt does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas01:22
naliothinteresting01:22
=== Xzenome flicks on kettle. Anyone want a cuppa?
jribXzenome: sure, what kind?01:22
allan_ok01:23
allan_i did that now what01:23
jriballan_: ok, now we read what the website tells us: To compile from source you'll need OpenSSL and Pyrex installed.01:23
Xzenomejrib: Decaf or caf? I have coffee too. Do you take sugar?01:23
allan_ok what should i do01:23
jribXzenome: caf, no sugar, thanks01:23
naliothallan_: those will need to be the -dev versions of those programs01:24
allan_ok01:24
Xzenomejrib, You can either give me your address and I'll fedex it to you in the morning or I can base 64 encode it and post it on pastebin.01:24
jribXzenome: ha01:24
jriballan_: !find openssl01:25
jrib!find openssl01:25
ubotuFound: libcurl3-openssl-dev, libxmlsec1-openssl, openssl, pyopenssl-doc, python-pyopenssl (and 9 others)01:25
allan_ok i have pyrex on my desktop01:26
jriballan_: ok, after some searching, I'm guessing we want  openssl and libssl-dev packages installed01:26
jriballan_: are you familiar with apt-get?01:26
allan_alittle01:26
allan_can u send me the link to openssl01:26
jriballan_: k, install those two packages with this command:  sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev01:26
jriballan_: no need for a link, it is packaged in the repositories, so you can use apt-get to install them magically01:27
jrib!apt | allan_01:27
allan_should i exit out of desktop directory first01:27
ubotuallan_: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)01:27
jriballan_: no need01:27
Xzenomejrib: how rude of me I forgot to offer you a biscuit. Would you like one?01:27
jribXzenome: definitely01:27
=== PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pricechild] has joined #ubuntu-classroom
naliothlearning to use the package tools is the easiest route to a healthy system, allan_01:28
allan_ok01:28
allan_i got it installed01:28
jriballan_: yes, you should always use packages from the repositories for anything you want to install01:28
allan_ok01:29
jriballan_: ok, so next we need pyrex, the package name for that one seems to be 'python-pyrex'.  Go ahead and install that one with apt-get01:29
allan_ok type sudo apt-get install python-pyrex right01:29
jribright01:29
allan_ok01:30
allan_done01:30
jriballan_: ok, now we have the dependencies for ncrypt.  We can proceed to build it and install it.  Enter this command to extract ncrypt:  tar xvf ncrypt-0.6.4.tar.gz01:31
allan_shoudl i start with sudo or just that01:32
jriballan_: just that01:32
allan_ok done01:33
jriballan_: now, enter the directory where all the ncrypt stuff went:  cd ncrypt-0.6.401:33
allan_ok01:33
allan_done01:33
jriballan_: great, now look back on the web page, it tells us to enter the following command to build ncrypt:  python setup.py build01:34
allan_shoudl i type in python setup.py build01:34
allan_in shell01:35
jribyes01:35
allan_ok done01:35
jriballan_: now you want to install it, so:  sudo python setup.py install01:36
allan_ok done01:36
jriballan_: you are of course trusting that the developers are not evil and have not written a virus to infect your system when  you run something without sudo and don't read the source code01:37
jriballan_: ok, now ncrypt should be installed, lets move on with the dependencies for cspace...01:37
allan_yes01:37
allan_ok01:37
jribnext we have pyqt401:37
jriballan_: try to search for that package using this command:  apt-cache search pyqt401:37
allan_sudo apt-cache search pyqt401:38
jriballan_: no sudo.  Only use sudo if you need it01:38
allan_ok done01:39
jriballan_: and what did you find?01:39
allan_python-qt4-dev - Development files for PyQt401:40
allan_python-qt4-doc - Documentation and examples for PyQt401:40
allan_pyqt4-dev-tools - Development tools for PyQt401:40
nalioththe first one will do01:40
jriballan_: how about just python-qt4?01:42
naliothhe needs the -dev packages01:42
jribit's a python app01:43
jribso I'm not sure which one he needs, safer to just install both01:43
=== jrib wonders if allan_ is still with us
allan_jrib you with me01:46

allan_what nextt01:47
allan_ok01:47
jriballan_: you found python-qt4 and python-qt4-dev, install both01:47
allan_can u give me the command please01:47
allan_to install them01:47
jriballan_: they are package in the repositories, use apt-get to install them01:48
allan_i know but what sudo apt-get install python-qt4,python-qt4-dev is taht command right01:48
jriballan_: you seperate packages with spaces, not commas01:49
allan_ok01:49
allan_ok done01:50
jriballan_: ok, what is the next dependency?01:52

ubotuTo replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type "dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages", move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type "sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade"07:49

XzenomeHi11:40
Wrongwayhey Xzenome11:40
XzenomeSo what errors are you getting?11:40

XzenomeWrongway, what errors are you getting?11:41
Wrongwaygot to the point cd ffmpeg-*/11:41
Wrongwaybash: cd: ffmpeg-*/: No such file or directory11:41
Xzenomeright. Did you run apt-get source ffmpeg?11:42
Wrongwayand actually, for the "apt-get source ffmpeg" line I got "E: Unable to find a source package for ffmpeg"11:42
XzenomeOh I see, post your /etc/apt/sources.list at http://michael-m.co.uk/pastebin11:43
Wrongwayalrighty....11:44
Wrongwayhow do I do that?11:44
Xzenometype gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and past the contents to the URL above11:44
WrongwayI've just recently switched from windows and don't know my way around what I'm doing11:44
XzenomeWrongway, don't worry it was the same for me a month ago.11:45
Wrongwayonly a month? that's a quick learning curve11:45
Wrongwaydone11:46
XzenomeLinux is quite an easy system to learn (and I have a some exprience with programming)11:46
WrongwayI've had some experience, but have moved away from that11:47
Wrongwayso if I really wanted to, I could probably muck about, but don't really want to :P11:47

XzenomeRight, ok I'm just modify your sources.list so you can get the stuff11:48
Wrongwayk11:48
naliothXzenome: with an explanation, please11:49
naliothwe want to instruct how to fish, not give fish away11:49
XzenomeOk, basically, I just uncommented some of the lines. That will enable you to download stuff that isn't opensource.11:49
Wrongwaygotcha11:50
Xzenometype sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace it with the modified version (http://michael-m.co.uk/sources.list)11:51
naliothstop11:52

nalioth!gksudo11:52
ubotuIf you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application> 11:52
naliothrunning graphical apps with sudo can scramble your user permissions, leaving you with an unusable machine11:52
nalioth!kdesu11:52
ubotuIn KDE, use  kdesu  to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Do *not* use  sudo <GUI application> ; you can muck up your permissions/config files. For what to use in GNOME, see !gksudo11:52
Xzenomethankyou nalioth, you learn something new every day.11:53
XzenomeWrongway, so instead type gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and then replace it with the modified version11:54
XzenomeAre you with me?11:55
Wrongwayhow do I get the mod'd version?11:56
naliothbe happy you've not learned from experience11:56
Xzenomeit is at http://michael-m.co.uk/sources.list11:56
Xzenomenalioth, once nano screwed up like that before but I don't actually know why.11:57
Wrongwaycan I not just replace it through the gui instead of the terminal?11:57
naliothWrongway: Xzenomes instructions are for the gui11:58
XzenomeWrongway, the command I gave about will replace it through the gui, it just launches from the gui11:58
Wrongwayk11:58
XzenomeWrongway, I forgot to uncomment this line: deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe find it and remove the hash to make it work.12:00
Xzenome"deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe"12:00
Wrongwayk, doing that12:02
