[01:05] does anyone know how to check the age of a package? [01:07] slimjimflim: look at its changelog [01:07] slimjimflim: or do you mean when you installed it? [01:07] in which case i am not sure [01:07] when i installed it [01:08] thx anyway [01:08] i *think* aptitude keeps track of that, check in /var/log/ [01:09] thruxton, yea, /var/log/dpkg.log [01:09] sweet [01:11] shit, it only goes back 7 days though [01:14] any ubuntu gurus here need help :/ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47636/ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47637/ [01:15] nm, got it, it was /var/log/dpkg.log.1 [01:16] tehlam3, you have missing dependencies [01:17] and how can i fix them if the update doesnt work [01:17] try this: [01:17] sudo apt-get install dpkg [01:17] already tried that [01:17] what's the output [01:17] didnt work [01:18] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47640/ [01:18] what about `sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic` [01:19] actually, ya, i think the second is right [01:19] tehlam3? [01:19] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47641/ [01:20] just keep trying to install the dependencies it tells you it needs [01:21] k will try [01:21] eventually you should get to one without dependencies of it's own [01:22] * slimjimflim goes to the store [01:28] 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. [01:29] Is this a linux "feature"? [01:30] Or customizable? [02:25] 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? [02:36] There we go again.. Tuner f**ing up the comp... [02:54] hey guys [02:54] in xubuntu 7.1 where can i find the xfce4-panel config files [02:55] my panel fails to load due to some of it's elements not initializing [02:55] anyone care to share real qucik where the xml config file lies? [02:56] i was looking in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/ [02:56] but /panel isn't there [03:10] And there it goes again... === XwarlokX82 is now known as X|Dirtnappin [03:56] This is really annoying... [03:59] what direcotory? [04:00] do you have anything mounted from the network? [04:00] Not from network, but my ntfs disks.. [04:00] unmount them, and see if you have problems.. [04:01] I'll give that a try... [04:01] (But the problem appears when I'm in (and only in) file system also) [04:03] 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] *too [04:04] no this is a secure operating system that doesn't let a user do some dangerous things without elevating your privileges [04:04] When we are on the subject, on one of my drives, I have to log in everytime after reboot. [04:04] Yes, I understand, but this is driving me nutz. [04:04] Sudo this, and sudo that. [04:07] OK, first I need to find ot why Thunar is doing what it's doing. [04:10] Can I unmount using sudo? And if I do that will it be temporarily? (after reboot it will be fixed=?) [04:13] I'm sorry I didn't mean to insult Xubuntu/linux, but I have been through a lot this last hours. [04:13] sudo umount /mountpath [04:13] as for it getting better after a reboot, why not just try and see what happens [04:14] generally though I suggest you not keep foreign filesystems mounted unless you are using them [04:14] well, I'm kind of integratig linux with my win2k (linux uses files on the ntfs) [04:15] (which win2k also uses) [04:15] you get the idea... [04:16] 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] "umount: /media/hdb5: device is busy" [04:16] Oh, I'm sorry, am I disturbing you from something important? [04:17] Zor, well, yes I kind of figured that ;) [04:17] if you are using files on that filesystem then you cannot unmount it without your system crashing hard [04:17] so it doesn't let you [04:19] 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] (All my activity revolves around my main disks) [04:19] Is there not some form of system checking tool? [04:20] *I can use? [04:21] 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? [04:57] 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 [05:05] anybody help with me with ssh in xubuntu? [05:05] I accidently killed the desktop, how do I restart it? [05:06] startx at the prompt [05:06] Thanks, but I just found it (desktop/pref/allow x to manage desktop) [06:35] What does AS package libcpp mean? [06:36] (regarding choosing what version to download for install) [06:50] I can chose between 5 and 6... [07:33] Ok, now this is just freaky. On of my workspaces have died!? [07:34] 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... === SBQ is now known as Super_BQ [09:01] Can anyone here provide assistane for installing a wireless card? I'm new to linux and I'm having a hard time getting my Linksys WPC45g to work. [13:37] hi. I've a question, an easy one, I think. [13:38] I'm using nicotine+ (a soulseek client). [13:38] I'm not using the one from the repositories, but the latest version. [13:38] I've dropped the folder on my desktop [13:38] and run the program by invoking "python ./nicotine" [13:39] now, I want to move the folder of this "standalone" program to a more conventional place on the linux filesystem [13:39] so, my question is: where is that place? where should I, by convention, put that folder? [13:54] hello [14:08] 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. [14:11] junkeR, its showed in the bottom bar of the thunar window [14:12] just the total file size is? How about when you're selecting folders? [14:15] du -h folder [14:15] or file for that mater [14:16] well my issue isn't the biggest problem I had just wanted to see if I was missing something [14:16] thanks for your help [14:16] ok np :) === workingman is now known as codenamekt_work [15:10] Hi, could anyone help me with a problem I'm having? I just installed Xubuntu on a blue Mac G3. It shows the loading screen, but it blacks out when it should go to the login screen. If it helps, I had to "install=ofonly" [15:10] *"install video=ofonly" [16:06] Wow, this channel sucks [16:54] Hi [16:55] 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? [16:56] Go ahead and post. [16:57] 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 [16:58] It installs and semms ok, but some sites just make firefox close. [16:59] Its the latest flash plugin,latest firefox and the page that results in a crash is www.electroworld.hu [16:59] gdivos: why didn't you just install from the ubuntu repositories? [16:59] http://www.getautomatix.com/ or http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ is easier [17:00] ..moment [17:00] !automatix [17:00] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [17:02] After "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47704/ [17:02] ubotu: I wasn't aware of that. Thanx for the heads up :) [17:04] this error is the reason why i didn't use the ubuntu repo [17:05] *I don't like bots :) [17:07] gdivos: what version of ubuntu again? [17:07] oh sorry. xubuntu 7.10 [17:07] firefox 2.0.0.11 [17:07] gdivos: did you do apt-get update? [17:08] I do it now. moment [17:08] same error :( [17:10] :/ [17:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/174090 [17:15] Launchpad bug 174090 in flashplugin-nonfree "md5sum error in postinstall for package flashplugin-nonfree (dup-of: 173890)" [Undecided,New] [17:15] Launchpad bug 173890 in flashplugin-nonfree "flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:18] It is possible to bypass the md5 check by editing /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.postinst and doing a dpkg-reconfigure [17:24] 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'. [17:36] I would like a gui program that can handle rar files. What can you recommend? [17:40] 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. [17:42] 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. [18:05] I can reproduce a flash plugin related crash. [18:05] 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. [18:07] It is possible that it happens only to me, yet I want to know whether it is a local problem or not. [18:09] I can confirm that flash seems very buggy, but we can't really do anything about it [18:10] I've got 9.0.48 and it's working.... [18:11] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/web/flashplugin-nonfree is ver 9.0.48... [18:11] it tries to download the .tar.gz file from the official site [18:12] and it is already 9.0.115 [18:12] ohh, ok. [18:12] so thats why it says md5 mismatch [18:14] So, I can hope Adobe will fix its buggy crap :-/ [18:16] I've probably got the 9.0.48 tar in my cache. If you want it I can send it. [18:18] md5sum: 821cc72359a937caef85bb4cc74ef5cd install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz - is it the correct one? [18:39] hi. i want my xubuntu to login automagically [18:39] how do i do that? [18:40] Applications-> Settings->Login Window->Security [18:41] isn't that for gnome? [18:41] if so try http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303319 [18:42] no i just went and looked for it [18:42] that is where its at [18:42] :] [19:23] Hello. I have a working Xubuntu installation. Is there a way to reinstall the entire Xubuntu OS from the command-line? [19:31] who -lusers [19:33] Hey [19:33] does Xubuntu use gksudo or has it it's own tool? [19:35] what does gksudo do? [19:36] SGL: execute something with sudo privilegies, asking the password in a graphical way [19:37] 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] I just always use normal sudo [19:38] It does use gksudo. [19:38] okay, thanks [19:38] When would you prefer gksudo over sudo? [19:38] SGL: menu entries [19:39] :) [19:39] ahhh right [19:53] hei [20:01] 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? [20:04] Blinkiz: Use 'su' in combo with 'sg' [20:05] 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] su - user -c "sg youcmd" [20:06] stone[no]: Its su -c "sg $group -c command" @user [20:07] stone[no]: Here is the line am trying to run. Am running it as "sudo su" before. su -c "sg users -c rtorrent" niklas [20:09] Blinkiz: su - niklas -c "sg users -c torrent" should do the trick... [20:09] skip the sudo [20:09] You will have to know the password for user niklas though [20:10] yeah, this line will run at startup by root [20:12] stone[no]: If I brake it apart. 'sg users -c rtorrent' works. But 'su "sg users -c rtorrent" niklas' doesn't [20:12] oh, should be 'su -c "sg users -c rtorrent" niklas' [20:13] I'm not sure su will accept standard input [20:13] to pass the password [20:14] the extra '-' will make sure the enviroment for user is used [20:15] ok. Ill give you a more complicated line that works. My goal is to implement the sg command somewhere inside it. [20:15] su -c "screen -S "${srnname}" -X screen rtorrent ${options[i]} 2>&1 1>/dev/null" ${user} | tee -a "$logfile" >&2 [20:15] Where to put the sg command? [20:16] Blinkiz: That's along one :) put all that in a bash script and call it with sg... [20:17] Yeah, that's a solution i quess ;) [20:18] compiz on xubuntu, is that relevant? [20:18] Remeber to pass the -d option to screen if your using it in a startup screipt [20:18] script [20:18] yeah, it has been done on a line above [20:22] bonjour [20:22] vous faites du support ici ou pas ? [22:36] hey i installed xfce4 after using ubuntu for a while, and now on my desktop i have duplicates of ever icon, device and such, anyway to fix this?
