_2maennj use apt-cache01:04

Guest90134just wondering why you said it01:04
_2maennj something like    apt-cache -n search vlc      for example01:04
maennjok01:05
maennjdoes it apt-cache search online too ?01:06
_2maennj also aptitude can do that,   aptitude search vlc     but i don't personally like aptitude even if the people in #debian sware by it.01:06
maennj:)01:06
maennjI'll try it01:07
_2maennj no.  only your package cache (list of all avalable package from your listed repositories)01:07
maennjah ok01:07
_2in asnwer to your Q    ^01:07
_2answer even01:07
_2one reason that i have never liked aptitude was re-manafested to me a few days ago.   i was trying to remove python* from a debian system and aptitude can't do it.   apt-get does it just fine.01:09
_2in fact attempting to remove almost any lib via aptitude command line is impossable.   it will only remove something that has dependancies if you are both willing and able to install a replacement/s     sad that it can't just take with it the dependant packages like apt can.01:11
maennjbut how can I search on online sources ?01:14
_2maennj ?   google ?01:15
_2maennj what online source are you refering to?01:15
maennj-.-, I thought apt-get provides some kind of online sources. I used slapt-get in slackware before which had online repositories01:16

cosmofieldHow do I uninstall firefox on my Kubuntu? I tried sudo apt-get remove firefox but it says that 'package firefox is not installed so not removed' But Firefox can still be started, it has a start button in the program menu and I don't want Firefox because I use Gnu Icecat. Any ideas? :/12:24
tobor_cosmofield: how did FF get onto the system in the first place?12:25
_-Jay-_cosmofield: Depends on the version    try sudo aptitude search firefox12:26
cosmofieldI installed firefox and later installed Icecat and remove firefox with apt-get, but its still somewhere in the system :/12:26
_-Jay-_and find the version with an i next to it12:26
_-Jay-_you may find you have to remove firefox-3.012:26
favroknusperfrosch: LeeJunFan tried the old uuid? - seems it's not so old then - and sudo blkid works better here12:26
favrowell sorry knusperfrosch12:27
favroknusperfrosch: what's the rest of the script or relevant section of it?12:27
LeeJunFanactually blkid shows the new one, I mis-spoke. But /dev/disk/by-uuid/ lists the old one. udev doesn't realize I reformatted.12:27
tobor_cosmofield: "how" did FF get onto the system in the first place?12:28
tobor_did u apt-get install, or did you download it from a website?12:28
knusperfroschfavro: got a directory, "${HOME}/somewhere" and i'd like to check if it contains any files matching "some-name-*.ext"12:29
cosmofield[solved] Anyway, it's gone now, it was firefox-3.0  that was still left, I didn't noticed earlier that it was a version difference, thanks for the help :)12:30
favroknusperfrosch: does  ls ~/ | grep prefix ext   work12:31
favrothat'll be command line12:31
knusperfroschfavro: if [ "$(ls some-file-*.ext)" == "" ];then echo "no ex"; else echo "ex"; fi12:31

favroknusperfrosch: LeeJunFan it's working?12:42
LeeJunFanfavro: well, it did. I found a page with someone who had the same problem and that solution, I ran it - I mounted my device, then X locked up. Could be something kde4 or compiz doesn't like.12:47
LeeJunFanfavro: so of course it cost me a reboot I Was trying to avoid in the first place.12:47

tobor_hi all, the wiki says to use kbuntu-restricted-extras package for playing restricted formats, but apt-cache search doesnt find the package (fresh install of Kubuntu 8 (heron) Ubuntu 8.04.1 )  Is there a suggested alternative?13:02
Piciwesley_: Intrepid issues should be discussed in #ubuntu+113:02
Picitobor_: Do you have the multiverse repositories enabled?13:03
tobor_Pici: I don't know.  Haven't changed anything about the repos.  Using it exactly as installed from CD-ISO13:03
tobor_Pici: how can I check?13:04
Picitobor_: Is there a source menu in Adept? (I'm more of a gnome guy so I'm not sure of the KDE interface)13:05
wesley_!bug113:05
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about bug113:05
tobor_Pici: looking13:05
tobor_Pici  I dont use adept either, (I'm a CLI guy! 30+ years on various "UNII" :-) ) adept shows that restricted repors are enabled in the repo manager13:09
Picitobor_: okay, what does apt-cache policy say about kubuntu-restricted-extras then?13:09

ubottupastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)13:11
tobor_Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47755/13:11
tobor_Pici - I see multiple entries in the output from apt-cache policy showing both restricted and multiverse13:12
Picitobor_: How about apt-cache policy kubuntu-restricted-extras ?13:12
tobor_http://paste.ubuntu.com/47756/13:13
tobor_Pici: looks like multiverse is on.13:14
tobor_says none installed (apt-cache policy kubuntu-restricted-extras)13:14
Picitobor_: try installing it again then13:14
tobor_Pici: so it seems like there are two candidates. .. trying13:15
Picitobor_: Maybe a typo the first time around13:15
Picitobor_: Yes, but it will pick the newer version from hardy-updates13:15
tobor_Pici: typo. Couldn't find package kbuntu-restricted-extras13:16

ocshi. is there a way to launch, with kde4 the old gui of adept (the same in kde3) ? In this new gui I can't see many features that were in the old one13:19
EagleScreenocs i think it is not possible13:21
EagleScreenAdept 3 is a new software in Beta phase, it is incomplete13:22
ocsEagleScreen: ok, but does it mean that i'm forced to use this new adept?13:23
EagleScreeni think yes, Adept 2.1 is broken and not mainteined anymore13:23
EagleScreenyou can install synaptic, I recommend you to install it with command: 'aptitude -R install synaptic' in order to do not install gnome things13:23

tobor_Interesting, htop shows 40 or so "console-kit-daemon" processes, but ps ax shows only one, and trying to kill the 40 or so in htop even using  signal "9" has no effect.13:24

HappySmileManOh ok19:18
KaalfOr if not, is there any way to sucessfully install GNOME as well?19:18
jussi01Kaalf: install the ubuntu-desktop package19:18

ubottuflorin_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php19:19

jussi01Kaalf: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm19:21
jussi01venik: people here are not likely to know either - best to just wait.19:21

v6lurso "dev dependencies" should be ok?20:07
__-osh-__v6lur: depends on how the makefile is written I think. So configure might work even if some libs are missing. But you really should ask someone who knows more than I do. I might be full of sh*t.20:07
