[09:07] incompatibly with other packages [09:07] what packages are kept back [09:07] Jester45: got a regular lab going on there dontcha! :D [09:07] or other resons [09:08] why do you ask? [09:09] braveheartlion: probably no install candidate for a dependency of the package you're trying to install. [09:09] braveheartlion: unless you put some package on hold status? [09:09] scruffy, you wouldnt know much about win98se? [09:10] Jester45: nope, not very much. I think it may be 7 years since I've used it? [09:10] pls see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11964/ to see the packages that have been kept back? [09:10] o nvm then [09:12] well i got a lap top with it on it and each time i get a i/o speed of over 40mb/s it freezes [09:12] i think i will put xubuntu on it [09:12] or win2kpro not sure [09:12] Jester45: why are you using Winows 98 SE though? [09:12] becuase it was on it [09:13] i got ripper x but the text is missing. i think it's something to do with the packages that have been held back. [09:13] braveheartlion: I'm not sure. Have you installed some packages from unstable or installed any debs outside of apt-get? [09:13] pls see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11964/ to see the packages that have been kept back? [09:13] i don't remember [09:13] i don't think so [09:13] most stuff i get are from apt-get [09:13] braveheartlion: not sure if the -u switch will provide more info or not [09:14] AAAAHH !! my swap disc spun [09:14] scruffy: and what is the comlete command? === Jester45 is afraid [09:14] braveheartlion: apt-get -u [your other stuff here] [09:15] braveheartlion, thats nothing to be worried about just copy all the held back packages and remove them [09:15] dangit this thing is only at 58% installed [09:15] scruffy: i already got ripper x [09:15] then reinstall them [09:15] how do i copy? [09:15] do'nt you mean install? [09:15] you can leave out a few packages from being reinstalled if you want [09:16] braveheartlion: try apt-get -u install [package] for each of those its says its keeping back.. try them one at a time [09:17] scruffy: that's a slow way. [09:17] there are a lot of packages. [09:17] braveheartlion: probably is yeah.. well try two at a time and see how it goes [09:18] I think this might be the slowest thinkpad ever === Jester456 [n=Jester45@d8-195.rt-bras.wnvl.centurytel.net] has joined #xubuntu [09:18] why can't i do them all? [09:19] braveheartlion, hold on [09:19] im pasting it just waiting for it to go [09:19] looks like its not going to go [09:20] just copy/paste all the packages (HINT: watch out for enters) [09:20] why do i not see text in the ripper x program? [09:21] "sudo apt-get remove [packages here] && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install [packages] " [09:21] braveheartlion: any reason you want ripperx over any of the other rippers? [09:21] braveheartlion, no text at all or just no song names [09:21] scruffy, i told him it [09:21] scruffy: no text in the progarm itself [09:22] braveheartlion: grip is also a good GTK ripper [09:22] braveheartlion: or console ripper is abcde [09:22] braveheartlion, jsut try a diffrent one [09:22] Jester45: why do i have to remove packages first? [09:22] scruffy: ok. will try abcdefghijkl.... [09:23] 8-) [09:23] braveheartlion, becuase apt will not upgrade them they are held back but if apt thinks you never had them then a install of them gets the newest version [09:23] braveheartlion: yeah crazy name, but it really exists.. :) apt-cache show abcde === scruffy gives the slow laptop the evil eye at 68% [09:23] whats the whole name [09:24] i want a lappy with a core duo [09:25] hehe i like the MS's NT kernel ablity to compress the whole drive [09:25] now i need to exchange it to a rar compress [09:25] Jester456: how is that even possible? [09:25] i could save a whole 2gb [09:26] Jester456: that's like the compression program compressing itself, isn't it?? [09:26] scruffy, yes all NT based OS have a option to compress the whole drive OS file compressor .exe [09:26] yes [09:26] very fancy [09:27] you misspelled 'crazy' [09:27] well to compress the WHOLE drive you need to boot it in a 2nd machine so you can compress the OS files [09:27] becuase some files are inuse and cant be touched [09:28] Jester456: yeah that's what I was thinking.. they sorta misrepresented that feature. :) [09:28] well not really [09:29] you can tell it to compress C:/ and all files/folders under it but your get the logical errors [09:29] what is #xubuntu-unregged? [09:29] un regualred channel? [09:29] regulated [09:30] you know what i never noticed [09:30] the lack of the B:/ drive [09:30] scruffy: i got abcde. can it convert directly to mp3? or does it have to convert to wav format first? [09:30] A:/ is default floppy c is harddrive with os on it [09:30] A...C [09:30] braveheartlion: not sure.. if I had to guess I'd say wav -> mp3 [09:31] !ripping [09:31] For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar [09:31] i prefer torrents but thats just m [09:31] e [09:32] braveheartlion: cp /etc/abcde.conf to ~/.abcde.conf and edit it.. for CDDB I used http://freedb.freedb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi [09:33] that's interesting about the audiocd:// thing. [09:33] KDE is very userfriendly its just very fat [09:34] Jester456: I think KDE is kinda plastic, if that makes any sense. I very much prefer Gnome, OpenBox or XFCE [09:34] i understand u [09:35] its QT its the look it has allmost like vista but with less ugliness and less fat === Jester456 is now known as Jester45 [09:35] im back === cga [n=cga@213-140-6-101.ip.fastwebnet.it] has joined #xubuntu [09:36] my father (60) used KDE on Suse, then switched to Ubuntu, and I think he wasn't digging the gnome that much. Some people are KDE people, some are gnome people. [09:36] im many [09:36] i like gnome and xfce and kde [09:37] i have a mixed install xubuntu [09:37] you sound like a friend of mine that's always installing different operating systems [09:37] i prefer the gnome wm xubunt panel and theme and icons and tools but i use amarok and k3b [09:38] last weekend i went from windows 3.1 to vista on step at a time [09:38] very fun [09:38] how do i play the audio cd in my cd drive? [09:38] Jester45: you must like pain hehe [09:38] i think the hardrive commited suicide [09:39] braveheartlion: what audio player are you using? [09:39] um mplayer or xfmedia [09:39] w00t thats my friend there [09:40] braveheartlion: been a long time since I listed to a CD from the drive itself, but last I did I used xmms.. mplayer probably `mplayer /dev/hdc` ? or /dev/hdd [09:41] or man mplayer :) [09:41] braveheartlion: or try mplayer cd:// [09:41] Jester45 I see that you've gotten back in [09:41] i tihnk its mplayer type /dev/location [09:41] Failed to open cd://. [09:41] woohoo, 98%, only an hour to go [09:42] Playing /dev/hdc. Seek failed [09:42] braveheartlion: did you try /dev/hdc? [09:42] BFTD, what happened i was gone for a few weeks and came back with a ban [09:42] yeah [09:42] braveheartlion: try gmplayer and right click in the window [09:42] miscommucation? [09:42] or typo ") [09:43] or the somerville got mad again [09:43] or me being offtopic like right now :) better shut up [09:44] Jester45 no its the proxy [09:44] BFTD, ? o that web irc client? [09:45] cgi-irc [09:45] or something like that [09:45]
