| slimjimflim | does anyone know how to check the age of a package? | 01:05 |
|---|---|---|
| thruxton | slimjimflim: look at its changelog | 01:07 |
| thruxton | slimjimflim: or do you mean when you installed it? | 01:07 |
| thruxton | in which case i am not sure | 01:07 |
| slimjimflim | when i installed it | 01:07 |
| slimjimflim | thx anyway | 01:08 |
| thruxton | i *think* aptitude keeps track of that, check in /var/log/ | 01:08 |
| slimjimflim | thruxton, yea, /var/log/dpkg.log | 01:09 |
| slimjimflim | sweet | 01:09 |
| slimjimflim | shit, it only goes back 7 days though | 01:11 |
| tehlam3 | any ubuntu gurus here need help :/ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47636/ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47637/ | 01:14 |
| slimjimflim | nm, got it, it was /var/log/dpkg.log.1 | 01:15 |
| slimjimflim | tehlam3, you have missing dependencies | 01:16 |
| tehlam3 | and how can i fix them if the update doesnt work | 01:17 |
| slimjimflim | try this: | 01:17 |
| slimjimflim | sudo apt-get install dpkg | 01:17 |
| tehlam3 | already tried that | 01:17 |
| slimjimflim | what's the output | 01:17 |
| tehlam3 | didnt work | 01:17 |
| tehlam3 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47640/ | 01:18 |
| slimjimflim | what about `sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic` | 01:18 |
| slimjimflim | actually, ya, i think the second is right | 01:19 |
| slimjimflim | tehlam3? | 01:19 |
| tehlam3 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47641/ | 01:19 |
| slimjimflim | just keep trying to install the dependencies it tells you it needs | 01:20 |
| tehlam3 | k will try | 01:21 |
| slimjimflim | eventually you should get to one without dependencies of it's own | 01:21 |
| * slimjimflim goes to the store | 01:22 | |
| userXubuntu | Arghh, this is driving me nuts, ow do I fix it? - when I copy something it will only be in the memory as long as the program from which I copied it stays open. | 01:28 |
| userXubuntu | Is this a linux "feature"? | 01:29 |
| userXubuntu | Or customizable? | 01:30 |
| userXubuntu | I'm having serious problems wity Thunar, sometime it just goes nuts and refuses to read a directiry. while it makes the entire system go slow. Anyone had/having the same problem? | 02:25 |
| userXubuntu | There we go again.. Tuner f**ing up the comp... | 02:36 |
| Judeglass | hey guys | 02:54 |
| Judeglass | in xubuntu 7.1 where can i find the xfce4-panel config files | 02:54 |
| Judeglass | my panel fails to load due to some of it's elements not initializing | 02:55 |
| Judeglass | anyone care to share real qucik where the xml config file lies? | 02:55 |
| Judeglass | i was looking in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/ | 02:56 |
| Judeglass | but /panel isn't there | 02:56 |
| userXubuntu | And there it goes again... | 03:10 |
| === XwarlokX82 is now known as X|Dirtnappin | ||
| userXubuntu | This is really annoying... | 03:56 |
| zoredache | what direcotory? | 03:59 |
| zoredache | do you have anything mounted from the network? | 04:00 |
| userXubuntu | Not from network, but my ntfs disks.. | 04:00 |
| zoredache | unmount them, and see if you have problems.. | 04:00 |
| userXubuntu | I'll give that a try... | 04:01 |
| userXubuntu | (But the problem appears when I'm in (and only in) file system also) | 04:01 |
| userXubuntu | Well, that was new... I cannot unmount the volumes, I'm apperently not "priviiged enough", oh I'm sorry. What is this for aristrocrating OS? (I'm having priviligue problems with apache to...) | 04:03 |
| userXubuntu | *too | 04:03 |
| zoredache | no this is a secure operating system that doesn't let a user do some dangerous things without elevating your privileges | 04:04 |
| userXubuntu | When we are on the subject, on one of my drives, I have to log in everytime after reboot. | 04:04 |
| userXubuntu | Yes, I understand, but this is driving me nutz. | 04:04 |
| userXubuntu | Sudo this, and sudo that. | 04:04 |
| userXubuntu | OK, first I need to find ot why Thunar is doing what it's doing. | 04:07 |
| userXubuntu | Can I unmount using sudo? And if I do that will it be temporarily? (after reboot it will be fixed=?) | 04:10 |
| userXubuntu | I'm sorry I didn't mean to insult Xubuntu/linux, but I have been through a lot this last hours. | 04:13 |
| zoredache | sudo umount /mountpath | 04:13 |
| zoredache | as for it getting better after a reboot, why not just try and see what happens | 04:13 |
| zoredache | generally though I suggest you not keep foreign filesystems mounted unless you are using them | 04:14 |
| userXubuntu | well, I'm kind of integratig linux with my win2k (linux uses files on the ntfs) | 04:14 |
| userXubuntu | (which win2k also uses) | 04:15 |
| userXubuntu | you get the idea... | 04:15 |
| zoredache | well I can get that is what you are trying to do, but I would suggest that your system would perform better if you try to avoid that | 04:16 |
| userXubuntu | "umount: /media/hdb5: device is busy" | 04:16 |
| userXubuntu | Oh, I'm sorry, am I disturbing you from something important? | 04:16 |
| userXubuntu | Zor, well, yes I kind of figured that ;) | 04:17 |
| zoredache | if you are using files on that filesystem then you cannot unmount it without your system crashing hard | 04:17 |
| zoredache | so it doesn't let you | 04:17 |
| userXubuntu | The problem is if I reboot and dismont, I will have nothing to do in Xubuntu, so it will be hard to do something else to find out why thunar is behaving as it is. | 04:19 |
| userXubuntu | (All my activity revolves around my main disks) | 04:19 |
| userXubuntu | Is there not some form of system checking tool? | 04:19 |
| userXubuntu | *I can use? | 04:20 |
| userXubuntu | Oh, and I must as, there are two thunar exe in the sys folder; Thunar and thunar; what is the difference? I have tried both, maybe I'm doing something wrong on that front? | 04:21 |
| bnalohim | an anyone help me with a problem i have with a disk... one jfs partition, i tried to repair it with gparted but didnt work: Unrecoverable error reading M from /dev/sdb1. CANNOT CONTINUE. please.. i dont know what to do | 04:57 |
| vejan738 | anybody help with me with ssh in xubuntu? | 05:05 |
| userXubuntu | I accidently killed the desktop, how do I restart it? | 05:05 |
| vejan738 | startx at the prompt | 05:06 |
| userXubuntu | Thanks, but I just found it (desktop/pref/allow x to manage desktop) | 05:06 |
| userXubuntu | What does AS package libcpp<n> mean? | 06:35 |
| userXubuntu | (regarding choosing what version to download for install) | 06:36 |
| userXubuntu | I can chose between 5 and 6... | 06:50 |
| userXubuntu | Ok, now this is just freaky. On of my workspaces have died!? | 07:33 |
| userXubuntu | I'm having serious problems with xfce, and I do think I have identified the problem to the mount.ntfs, but I'm not sure, even ordinary programs such as firefox seems to be a culprit... | 07:34 |

| Mannequin | hi. I've a question, an easy one, I think. | 13:37 |
| Mannequin | I'm using nicotine+ (a soulseek client). | 13:38 |
| Mannequin | I'm not using the one from the repositories, but the latest version. | 13:38 |
| Mannequin | I've dropped the folder on my desktop | 13:38 |
| Mannequin | and run the program by invoking "python ./nicotine" | 13:38 |
| Mannequin | now, I want to move the folder of this "standalone" program to a more conventional place on the linux filesystem | 13:39 |
| Mannequin | so, my question is: where is that place? where should I, by convention, put that folder? | 13:39 |

| junkeR | in Xubuntu 7.10, why can't I select multiple files and get a combined properties window showing the total file size of the selected items? This is possible in Ubuntu/Kubuntu as well as Windows. | 14:08 |
| ablomen | junkeR, its showed in the bottom bar of the thunar window | 14:11 |
| junkeR | just the total file size is? How about when you're selecting folders? | 14:12 |
| ablomen | du -h folder | 14:15 |
| ablomen | or file for that mater | 14:15 |
| junkeR | well my issue isn't the biggest problem I had just wanted to see if I was missing something | 14:16 |
| junkeR | thanks for your help | 14:16 |

| gdivos | Hi | 16:54 |
| gdivos | I have switched from windows to xubuntu yesterday. I have some problems and questions to ask, can I post them into the main channel or should I pm. someone? | 16:55 |
| stone[no] | Go ahead and post. | 16:56 |
| gdivos | First I could not install the flash plugin for firefox as a result of some md5 checksum error. Later I have converted the official RPM to DEB | 16:57 |
| gdivos | It installs and semms ok, but some sites just make firefox close. | 16:58 |
| gdivos | Its the latest flash plugin,latest firefox and the page that results in a crash is www.electroworld.hu | 16:59 |
| TheSheep | gdivos: why didn't you just install from the ubuntu repositories? | 16:59 |
| stone[no] | http://www.getautomatix.com/ or http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ is easier | 16:59 |
| gdivos | ..moment | 17:00 |
| TheSheep | !automatix | 17:00 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 17:00 |
| gdivos | After "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47704/ | 17:02 |
| stone[no] | ubotu: I wasn't aware of that. Thanx for the heads up :) | 17:02 |
| gdivos | this error is the reason why i didn't use the ubuntu repo | 17:04 |
| stone[no] | *I don't like bots :) | 17:05 |
| TheSheep | gdivos: what version of ubuntu again? | 17:07 |
| gdivos | oh sorry. xubuntu 7.10 | 17:07 |
| gdivos | firefox 2.0.0.11 | 17:07 |
| TheSheep | gdivos: did you do apt-get update? | 17:07 |
| gdivos | I do it now. moment | 17:08 |
| gdivos | same error :( | 17:08 |
| TheSheep | :/ | 17:10 |
| gdivos | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/174090 | 17:15 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 174090 in flashplugin-nonfree "md5sum error in postinstall for package flashplugin-nonfree (dup-of: 173890)" [Undecided,New] | 17:15 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 173890 in flashplugin-nonfree "flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 17:15 |
| gdivos | It is possible to bypass the md5 check by editing /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.postinst and doing a dpkg-reconfigure | 17:18 |
| gdivos | After this it says: Flash Plugin installed. But when I test it, firefox crashes on www.electroworld.hu after 15 seconds. Just like the official RPM package that I converted to .DEB with 'alien'. | 17:24 |
| Blinkiz | I would like a gui program that can handle rar files. What can you recommend? | 17:36 |
| aladdinsane | is there any way in how i can change/remove Thunar and its integration in Xubuntu towards lets say Nautilus? And i really mean completely remove it. | 17:40 |
| Blinkiz | The answer to my own question is to install rar and unrar. The build in archive manager will then be able to deal with rar archives. | 17:42 |
| gdivos | I can reproduce a flash plugin related crash. | 18:05 |
| gdivos | If you have Adobe Flash Player 9.0.115.0 (check your version here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/) you can try if your browser crashes on http://www.electroworld.hu/store/binary?id=17119 . It is a stupid flash ad and you have to wait 20 secs before it hangs. | 18:05 |
| gdivos | It is possible that it happens only to me, yet I want to know whether it is a local problem or not. | 18:07 |
| zoredache | I can confirm that flash seems very buggy, but we can't really do anything about it | 18:09 |
| stone[no] | I've got 9.0.48 and it's working.... | 18:10 |
| stone[no] | http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/web/flashplugin-nonfree is ver 9.0.48... | 18:11 |
| gdivos | it tries to download the .tar.gz file from the official site | 18:11 |
| gdivos | and it is already 9.0.115 | 18:12 |
| stone[no] | ohh, ok. | 18:12 |
| gdivos | so thats why it says md5 mismatch | 18:12 |
| gdivos | So, I can hope Adobe will fix its buggy crap :-/ | 18:14 |
| stone[no] | I've probably got the 9.0.48 tar in my cache. If you want it I can send it. | 18:16 |
| stone[no] | md5sum: 821cc72359a937caef85bb4cc74ef5cd install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz - is it the correct one? | 18:18 |

| alfredo | who -lusers | 19:31 |
| RainCT | Hey | 19:33 |
| RainCT | does Xubuntu use gksudo or has it it's own tool? | 19:33 |
| SGL | what does gksudo do? | 19:35 |
| RainCT | SGL: execute something with sudo privilegies, asking the password in a graphical way | 19:36 |
| SGL | oh. I wouldn't know. I am reinstalling Xubuntu now, so I can find out for you in like half an hour. (really old PC :P) | 19:37 |
| SGL | I just always use normal sudo | 19:37 |
| Pumpernickel | It does use gksudo. | 19:38 |
| RainCT | okay, thanks | 19:38 |
| SGL | When would you prefer gksudo over sudo? | 19:38 |

| Blinkiz | I need to run a program as a specific group. I know I can use the "sg" command but am looking for a tool where I can specify both the user and group. Like "niklas:users". Is it possible? | 20:01 |
| stone[no] | Blinkiz: Use 'su' in combo with 'sg' | 20:04 |
| Blinkiz | stone[no]: Yeah, am trying to. But I can't get it to work. It asks me for password everytime I run my own line. Don't know why | 20:05 |
| stone[no] | su - user -c "sg youcmd" | 20:05 |
| Blinkiz | stone[no]: Its su -c "sg $group -c command" @user | 20:06 |
| Blinkiz | stone[no]: Here is the line am trying to run. Am running it as "sudo su" before. su -c "sg users -c rtorrent" niklas | 20:07 |
| stone[no] | Blinkiz: su - niklas -c "sg users -c torrent" should do the trick... | 20:09 |
| stone[no] | skip the sudo | 20:09 |
| stone[no] | You will have to know the password for user niklas though | 20:09 |
| Blinkiz | yeah, this line will run at startup by root | 20:10 |
| Blinkiz | stone[no]: If I brake it apart. 'sg users -c rtorrent' works. But 'su "sg users -c rtorrent" niklas' doesn't | 20:12 |
| Blinkiz | oh, should be 'su -c "sg users -c rtorrent" niklas' | 20:12 |
| stone[no] | I'm not sure su will accept standard input | 20:13 |
| stone[no] | to pass the password | 20:13 |
| stone[no] | the extra '-' will make sure the enviroment for user is used | 20:14 |
| Blinkiz | ok. Ill give you a more complicated line that works. My goal is to implement the sg command somewhere inside it. | 20:15 |
| Blinkiz | su -c "screen -S "${srnname}" -X screen rtorrent ${options[i]} 2>&1 1>/dev/null" ${user} | tee -a "$logfile" >&2 | 20:15 |
| Blinkiz | Where to put the sg command? | 20:15 |
| stone[no] | Blinkiz: That's along one :) put all that in a bash script and call it with sg... | 20:16 |
| Blinkiz | Yeah, that's a solution i quess ;) | 20:17 |
| kilonux | compiz on xubuntu, is that relevant? | 20:18 |
| stone[no] | Remeber to pass the -d option to screen if your using it in a startup screipt | 20:18 |
| stone[no] | script | 20:18 |
| Blinkiz | yeah, it has been done on a line above | 20:18 |
