| jrib | foug: right, replace what you currently have witht he new one you get on the website | 01:57 |
| foug | they are the same, did you say they looked broken since they didn't have main reisted and what not at the end? | 01:57 |
| jrib | foug: yes | 01:58 |
| jrib | and you only had 4 urls, none of them official repos | 01:58 |
| foug | sorry, didn't know oyu needed that | 01:58 |
| jrib | foug: yeah, the whole file | 01:58 |
| foug | well, they have main main-all and different things at the end of them, i think they are correct | 01:58 |
| jrib | foug: k, but show me :) | 01:59 |
| foug | deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted | 01:59 |
| foug | deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted | 01:59 |
| foug | deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted | 01:59 |
| foug | is what i got from your site, it's only 3 | 01:59 |
| foug | and they don't look like the ones in synaptic | 01:59 |
| jrib | foug: make sure you check "Ubuntu community supported packages" too | 02:00 |
| foug | i think it is, in synaptic right? | 02:00 |
| jrib | foug: I mean on the web page | 02:01 |
| jrib | source-o-matic | 02:01 |
| foug | o yea it was, sorry | 02:01 |
| foug | yea | 02:01 |
| jrib | ok, so then you press "Create sources.list" | 02:02 |
| foug | aye, i did | 02:02 |
| foug | it brings up the text file where i pasted the 3 ones from | 02:02 |
| jrib | foug: but there are more than those right? | 02:02 |
| foug | the community suppported packages are the same as my ubuntu ones | 02:02 |
| foug | nope | 02:02 |
| foug | there's deb-src of the same thing | 02:02 |
| jrib | ok, hold on let me just pastebin a sources.list | 02:02 |
| jrib | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15296/ | 02:03 |
| jrib | run this command: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:03 |
| foug | that's what mine looks like, exactly | 02:03 |
| jrib | ok | 02:03 |
| foug | k it's open | 02:03 |
| jrib | run this command: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:03 |
| foug | done | 02:04 |
| jrib | then delete everything you see and replace it with the one I pasted | 02:04 |
| jrib | if you have some of those third party repos like for Listen, you can keep those at the bottom | 02:04 |
| foug | delete everything? | 02:04 |
| foug | do i paste all 23 lines from your link? | 02:05 |
| jrib | foug: yes | 02:06 |
| foug | k done, save and exit? | 02:07 |
| jrib | yes | 02:07 |
| foug | done | 02:07 |
| jrib | then run: sudo apt-get update | 02:07 |
| foug | done | 02:07 |
| jrib | now try to install vlc: sudo aptitude install vlc | 02:07 |
| foug | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 02:07 |
| foug | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 02:07 |
| foug | were the last two lines, but there was a bunch more | 02:07 |
| jrib | foug: close synaptic if you have it open | 02:08 |
| foug | nice it worked! | 02:08 |
| foug | would oyu be interested in helping me with a few other problems? ;x | 02:08 |
| jrib | foug: if I know how | 02:09 |
| foug | well, first, my taskbar is always expanded even though I have it checked. And when I click and drag my windows, a big black grid shows up. I changed something with grep-editor i think to get rid of window effects when I minimize them and such but then it gave me a grid | 02:10 |
| jrib | yeah, you can't get rid of the minimization animation without getting that grid | 02:10 |
| jrib | I don't know about the taskbar thing. Give #ubuntu a try on these | 02:10 |
| foug | do tell :) let me change my thing in grep real quick | 02:10 |
| foug | i have been, so such luck yet | 02:11 |
| jrib | gconf-editor you mean | 02:11 |
| foug | word | 02:11 |
| foug | k, changed it back to normal | 02:11 |

| jrib | emoney: try #ubuntu | 02:14 |
| emoney | thanks | 02:15 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: ok, have you checked whether the partition that your /home in Ubuntu is on has free space? | 02:15 |
| NewbieBaba | the story is ; i installed ubuntu on that computer n then i had that "your session...." error. n then i removed partitation of Ubuntu n resize them n then i tried to re-install it with Live Cd n then it gave me same error :S | 02:15 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: ok, are you comfortable using the command line? | 02:15 |
| NewbieBaba | yea | 02:16 |
| NewbieBaba | i can run Fail-Safe terminal | 02:16 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: well the first thing to do is to check your disk space. Run 'df -h' and see how much free space is left | 02:16 |
| NewbieBaba | it says %74 in use | 02:16 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: does the same thing happen if you create a new user? | 02:17 |
| NewbieBaba | "/" %74 in use | 02:17 |
| NewbieBaba | "tmp" | 02:17 |
| NewbieBaba | %3 | 02:17 |
| NewbieBaba | u know it logs as "ubuntu" when u try to install it | 02:17 |
| NewbieBaba | i created new user | 02:17 |
| NewbieBaba | with sudo useradd username | 02:17 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: oh, this happens on the actual live cd? not on an installed ubuntu? | 02:17 |
| NewbieBaba | no | 02:18 |
| jrib | no what? | 02:18 |
| NewbieBaba | im saying im tryin to re-install it | 02:18 |
| NewbieBaba | its like | 02:18 |
| foug | jrib: how would i go about installing gaim 1.4.0? is there an easy command i can put in for it? | 02:18 |
| NewbieBaba | i'll just install it now | 02:18 |
| NewbieBaba | but im having that problem | 02:18 |
| NewbieBaba | Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem. | 02:18 |
| NewbieBaba | This is the content of ~/.xsessions file: | 02:18 |
| jrib | foug: not really, you just get what is in the repositories | 02:18 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: why are you reinstalling? | 02:19 |
| NewbieBaba | i already removed it | 02:19 |
| NewbieBaba | :/ | 02:19 |
| NewbieBaba | bc i thought i needed more space | 02:19 |
| NewbieBaba | so i removed the parts of Linux system | 02:19 |
| NewbieBaba | n then i made new parts in HDD | 02:20 |
| NewbieBaba | now tryin to install it n im gettin that error | 02:20 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: well if the install cd is giving you strange errors like that, I would just try the alternate cd. You won't need to get into X that way | 02:20 |
| jrib | !alternate | 02:20 |
| NewbieBaba | tried 5 times already :( | 02:20 |
| ubotu | The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD. | 02:20 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: you tried the alternate cd? What went wrong then? | 02:20 |
| NewbieBaba | i dont know really | 02:21 |
| NewbieBaba | i told you the story :/ | 02:21 |
| NewbieBaba | i had that error n i removed ubuntu | 02:21 |
| NewbieBaba | i resized the parts of hdd | 02:21 |
| NewbieBaba | n tried to re-install | 02:21 |
| NewbieBaba | n same thing happens | 02:21 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: right, now I am suggesting that you try to install using the alternate cd, not the Desktop cd | 02:22 |
| NewbieBaba | i burnt 5 CD of the iso file of ubuntu610 | 02:22 |
| NewbieBaba | o | 02:22 |
| NewbieBaba | how can i get alternate cd :/ | 02:22 |
| NewbieBaba | or how can i make it | 02:22 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: releases.ubuntu.com will have .iso's | 02:22 |
| NewbieBaba | which section ? | 02:23 |
| NewbieBaba | i saw a tree of links | 02:23 |
| voidmage | I had to use the alternate cd too because the desktop cd wouldn't install grub right on my setup | 02:23 |
| voidmage | I have three PATA drives with windows on them | 02:23 |
| voidmage | and then two new SATA drives i put ubuntu on | 02:23 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: click on the version of ubuntu you want | 02:23 |
| NewbieBaba | thanks jrib | 02:24 |
| NewbieBaba | another 700 mb | 02:24 |
| NewbieBaba | :) | 02:24 |
| NewbieBaba | ahh | 02:24 |
| NewbieBaba | hope it'll fix my problem | 02:24 |
| NewbieBaba | jrib, as u see im newbie on linux, which Linux should i use ? which one is better ? | 02:25 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: I think Ubuntu is really great of course | 02:26 |
| NewbieBaba | and what should i install on them like(automatix, etc.) | 02:26 |
| NewbieBaba | i like Automatix2 | 02:26 |
| NewbieBaba | n theres also EasyUbuntu | 02:26 |
| NewbieBaba | which one u preffer? | 02:26 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: I'd recommend staying away from automatix and similar things. The best thing to do it to take a couple of minutes to read how to install thinks yourself. You shouldn't need to install too many things outside of the repositories anyway | 02:26 |
| jrib | s/thinks/things | 02:27 |
| NewbieBaba | true | 02:27 |
| NewbieBaba | can i play Windows games on Linux ? | 02:27 |
| NewbieBaba | like WOW | 02:28 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: that one I believe you can. I don't know anything about it though. You'll want to look into wine and cedega | 02:28 |
| NewbieBaba | and i also had GAIM problem.. i logged in everything was good n GAIM closed suddenly.. | 02:28 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: msn? | 02:28 |
| NewbieBaba | yea | 02:29 |
| NewbieBaba | i tried to use AMSN | 02:29 |
| NewbieBaba | it wanted to make me install TSL or something like that | 02:29 |
| NewbieBaba | even if i chose everything on the list | 02:29 |
| jrib | yeah gaim and msn don't work that well in my experience | 02:29 |
| NewbieBaba | it doesnt connect | 02:29 |
| NewbieBaba | how can i run MSN on linux then ? :/ | 02:29 |
| NewbieBaba | sorry if i am bothering u baba :( | 02:29 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: try #ubuntu, maybe someone has had a similar experience. I don't actually use msn so I can't really help | 02:30 |
| NewbieBaba | ok tyt | 02:30 |
| NewbieBaba | i wanted to ask if u're playin any Windows game but i bet you dont have time for games :P | 02:31 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: nope, I gave up games when I switched to Linux :) | 02:31 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: http://www.ubuntugames.org/ in portuguese but you should be able to make things out | 02:32 |
| NewbieBaba | i like online games :P | 02:32 |
| NewbieBaba | MMORPG | 02:32 |
| NewbieBaba | %90 to Ubuntu :) | 02:36 |
| NewbieBaba | jrib what about Beryl ? | 02:36 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: #ubuntu-effects can help with that | 02:36 |
| NewbieBaba | ty :) | 02:37 |
| NewbieBaba | i was just wondering if u prefer that one | 02:37 |
| NewbieBaba | i want the best ubuntu system u know, themes, effects, etc things.. | 02:38 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: compiz and beryl are merging soon so it doesn't really matter. At the moment beryl has more features and some claim compiz is more stable though I haven't really noticed that | 02:50 |
| NewbieBaba | oo thats good if they're merging :) | 02:50 |
| NewbieBaba | more new features for us :D | 02:50 |
