[03:36] <Omeil> What library do i need for checking for IMG_LoadPNG_RW in -lSDL_image... no
[03:36] <Omeil> configure: error:  *** Unable to find SDL_image library with PNG support
[03:36] <nalioth> Omeil: everything it complains about you need to search in synaptic an dinstall the -dev version
[03:37] <nalioth> this one would be libsdl*-dev
[03:37] <Omeil> oh
[03:37] <Omeil> so if its compiling its always a dev file?
[03:37] <nalioth> yes
[03:37] <nalioth> dev = development
[03:37] <Omeil> thx that makes everything easier
[03:39] <soundray> nalioth: do you work with Macs a lot, or does my memory fool me?
[03:40] <nalioth> i own a few Macs, yes
[03:40] <soundray> nalioth: do you know about frequency scaling problems with Intel Macs and feisty?
[03:41] <nalioth> unfortunately, i dont own any Intel Macs
[03:41] <soundray> nalioth: ah, too bad
[03:45] <nalioth> you can send me one?  I'd be glad to help you  :D
[03:49] <soundray> I've sponsored you once and I'd do it again, but have to stay in the two digits ;)
[03:49] <nalioth> huh?
[03:50] <soundray> I know, not really. I gave to freenode in your honour.
[03:50] <nalioth> ah, thank you.
[03:50] <soundray> Because you had been extremely helpful.
[03:50] <nalioth> had been? i hope to still be of help  :D
[03:51] <nalioth> Omeil: talk to us in here
[03:51] <soundray> Well, I've become so good with Ubuntu now that I don't need much help any more ;)
[03:51] <Omeil> its ok found the library :D
[03:51] <nalioth> soundray: ah
[03:52] <soundray> nalioth: I've even delved into feisty testing
[03:52] <nalioth> :)
[03:53] <soundray> Time to catch some sleep -- see you all

[03:56] <abasinisvacant> says:      /var/lib/dpkg/lock:  empty
[03:56] <nalioth> ok, you've made absolutely sure you have no apt-get / synaptic / adept / kynaptic or any other package manager running?
[03:57] <abasinisvacant> i have no synaptic running
[03:57] <abasinisvacant> only xchat, 2 terminals and my home folder
[03:57] <nalioth> in your terminal, please type "ps aux | grep apt-get" <enter>  you should only see one line returned that will have 'grep apt-get' in it
[03:58] <Omeil> checking for SDLNet_Init in -lSDL_net... no
[03:58] <Omeil> configure: error:  *** Unable to find SDL_net library
[03:58] <Omeil> i would say that would be libnet-dev
[03:58] <nalioth> Omeil: look in synaptic for "libsdl"
[03:58] <nalioth> you'll see quite a few results
[03:58] <nalioth> one of which is the one you need
[03:58] <nalioth> remember -dev

[04:00] <abasinisvacant> it didn't do anything
[04:01] <nalioth> try synaptic now
[04:02] <nalioth> "it didn't do anything" means the command was successfully completed
[04:02] <abasinisvacant> synaptic is telling me :   you have 1 broken package on your system! use the broken filter to locate it
[04:02] <abasinisvacant> i see
[04:02] <nalioth> so it is working now.
[04:03] <abasinisvacant> just a second..
[04:04] <abasinisvacant> E: mozilla-firefox-locale-ko: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127
[04:04] <nalioth> right, that's not a the issue with the /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[04:04] <nalioth> that is a dodgy script in that package
[04:04] <abasinisvacant> ??
[04:05] <abasinisvacant> nalioth, can i bring my problem up again later?  i'm very late for something
[04:05] <abasinisvacant> i hate to interupt
[04:08] <nalioth> abasinisvacant: sure

[05:35] <abasinisvacant> did someone answer my question? i wasn't here
[05:36] <nalioth> abasinisvacant: neither was i
[05:36] <abasinisvacant> nalioth, my computer is messed up
[05:37] <abasinisvacant> it's slower than before
[05:37] <abasinisvacant> if i upgraded to dapper, would my problem be fixed? possibly?
[05:37] <nalioth> not sure
[05:38] <nalioth> an upgrade won't necessarily fix problems
[05:38] <abasinisvacant> and, i can't go into gmail, because it says i need  "psm", but i can't d/l that because my synaptic is not working properly
[05:39] <nalioth> us synaptic to uninstall the broken package
[05:39] <abasinisvacant> nalioth, is there any way i can completely restart my computer, with dapper?
[05:39] <abasinisvacant> nalioth, it won't let me uninstall the broken package
[05:39] <abasinisvacant> or reinstall it either
[05:39] <abasinisvacant> and because it gives an error, i can't uninstall/install any other programs
[05:40] <abasinisvacant> using synaptic, at least
[05:40] <nalioth> which package was it?
[05:40] <abasinisvacant> mozilla-firefox-locale-ko
[05:42] <abasinisvacant> when i do    sudo rm mozil...    it says :  cannot remove, no such file or directory
[05:43] <nalioth> oooooh, that is bad
[05:43] <nalioth> don't do that
[05:43] <nalioth> don't ever do that
[05:43] <abasinisvacant> why not?
[05:43] <nalioth> sudo rm will break your box REALLY quick
[05:43] <abasinisvacant> what do you mean? , if i use it wrong?
[05:43] <abasinisvacant> breaking box doesn't mean permanent?
[05:44] <nalioth> no sir, if you use rm to remove software, you are asking for a broken box
[05:44] <abasinisvacant> ok, so what should i do?
[05:44] <abasinisvacant> i just want to fix it, even if it means losing all my files
[05:44] <nalioth> no, this is linux
[05:45] <nalioth> no need to do stupid things
[05:45] <nalioth> open a console please
[05:45] <abasinisvacant> if you mean terminal, it's open

[05:46] <abasinisvacant> just a sec, synapic is open
[05:47] <abasinisvacant> it said it will be removed, do i want to coninue

[06:28] <nalioth> if you like
[06:28] <abasinisvacant> would it not do anything?
[06:29] <nalioth> i don't understand
[06:29] <abasinisvacant> what would you suggest?
[06:31] <nalioth> grab this file  http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.10-0ubuntu0.5.10.1_i386.deb
[06:32] <abasinisvacant> ok this will take a while.  what should i do after it's downloaded?
[06:33] <abasinisvacant> sudo dpkg -i /home/../...deb?
[06:33] <nalioth> use dpkg to install it
[06:48] <abasinisvacant> nalioth?
[06:49] <abasinisvacant> thanks for your help, it worked!!!  and i still have all my bookmarks!!
[06:49] <abasinisvacant> i'm never going to try to install that program every again..
[06:49] <nalioth> abasinisvacant: please use accepted methods for 'fixing' your ubuntu  :)
[06:50] <abasinisvacant> what is considered not accepted?
[06:50] <nalioth>  Windows methods do not work
[06:50] <abasinisvacant> windows methods=restarting the system?
[06:51] <nalioth> 'rm' is not a package manager
[06:51] <nalioth> windows methods = deleting the offending software
[06:51] <abasinisvacant> had no idea, somone, told me to try using rm
[06:51] <nalioth> bad idea.
[06:51] <abasinisvacant> what's wrong with that, though?
[06:51] <abasinisvacant> does it cause permanent damage to the computer?
[06:52] <nalioth> if used wrongly, rm can wipe critical system files
[06:52] <nalioth> please do not use 'rm' as a package manager
[06:52] <abasinisvacant> ok, will keep it in mind
[06:53] <abasinisvacant> i do have one more question, though:  sometimes in terminal, "dal@ubuntu:~" goes away
[06:53] <abasinisvacant> is there any other way, besides quitting and restarting, that i can bring that back up?
[06:53] <nalioth> if you have any questions at all about "proper methods" ask someone else for a 2nd opinion
[06:53] <nalioth> what do you mean "goes away"
[06:53] <abasinisvacant> it becomes blank
[06:54] <abasinisvacant> and won't listen to my commands
[06:54] <nalioth> that is a new one on me
[06:54] <nalioth> just close it and open a new terminal
[06:54] <abasinisvacant> :/ ok.
[06:55] <abasinisvacant> once again, thanks for your help, i learned alot about linux today
