[01:03] yes [01:03] question that might sounds silly, how do I search in apt-get :) ? [01:04] why? [01:04] <_2> maennj use apt-cache [01:04] _2 thx [01:04] just wondering why you said it [01:04] <_2> maennj something like apt-cache -n search vlc for example [01:05] ok [01:06] does it apt-cache search online too ? [01:06] <_2> maennj 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] :) [01:07] I'll try it [01:07] <_2> maennj no. only your package cache (list of all avalable package from your listed repositories) [01:07] ah ok [01:07] <_2> in asnwer to your Q ^ [01:07] <_2> answer even [01:09] <_2> one 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. [01:11] <_2> in 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. [01:14] but how can I search on online sources ? [01:15] <_2> maennj ? google ? [01:15] <_2> maennj what online source are you refering to? [01:16] -.-, I thought apt-get provides some kind of online sources.

[04:25] heh mkdir \ [04:25] [04:29] it seems that mc is totally useless in dealing with dirname \n === bobesponjaja is now known as bobesponja [04:31] it's also interesting that ls calls it "?"

[04:45] how many gb does a standard dvd hold? 4.7 ? [04:46] 4 [04:46] im looking for a semi precise number if you dont mind [04:50] surgy: 4.3G is pretty safe mostly sometimes maybe [04:52] favro you may be right i read , and it seems he was asking . insted. ;/ [04:52] oops. [04:53] hehe :) [04:53] 4,7 != 4.7? [04:53] Hello [04:53] I've got this weird glitch [04:54] dropping in irc channels and saying that ? [04:54] Where sometimes I boot and I hear a boot up sound that's how I know skype and flash sound would work [04:54] oh [04:55] And for some reason my flash sound just stopped I probably need to restart the computer [04:55] But it's annoying doing that [04:55] Amarok sound works no matter what [04:57] Any Ideas? [04:58] Please [05:01] Ah [05:01] Flash sound is broke until I restart [05:02] tacosarecool weren't you asking the same thing a week ago ? [05:02] I don't remember [05:02] it still sounds like a race condition to me. [05:02] I was asking a long time ago I think [05:02] Race Condition? [05:03] yes but that doesn't mean i can fix it for you. [05:03] I know [05:03] I was hoping there was someone who could help in here but I guess not yet well for this issue [05:04] And I don't think that flash 10 will help me [05:04] Because I get the issue with skype also [05:04] Wait skype sound is working [05:04] How weird [05:04] Oops [05:04] I didn't have the sound turned up on youtube [05:04] Lol [05:05] Bye [05:05] heheha hands up who hasn't done that :) [05:05] every one wants a system to post as quickly as possable. but sometimes a second delay at the right point can prevent "race condtions" from making the boot process a "hit and miss" lotory... [05:06] favro you poll failed. no one responded ;/ [05:07] intelikey: I couldn't see raised hands even if my poll worked :) [05:07] ^ [05:07] i can't see lowered hands tho [05:07] v [05:07] oh there it is. [05:08] < [05:08] > [05:08] hehe [05:09] one thing i have found about irc. "first smart elic hasn't a chance, someone can always top that..."

[05:22] fails with ; done but same thing. [05:23] err actually it doesn't fail there. but it's because it's not quoted. and so fails on all names with spaces [05:23] when you say su at the command line, is there a default password? I am using my password that works with sudo but it never works for su... the password is always wrong. is there a default? if not, can I reset it? [05:24] actually mine may fail with spaces too. [05:26] vbgunz there is no root password unless you set one. [05:26] !sudo | vbgunz [05:26] vbgunz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [05:26] su: Authentication failure [05:26] vbgunz there is no root password unless you set one. read the page ^ [05:26] I am just typing su at $ ... it ask for a password, I must have set it and forgotten it :( [05:26] vbgunz there is no root password unless you set one. read the page ^ [05:27] or keep typing in here..... but you'll learn faster reading the page. [05:27] vbgunz: I think you want 'sudo -s' [05:27] -i [05:28] but actually he wants knowledge. [05:29] hello, I'm searching a program to edit pdf or ps files, do you know something? [05:30] ooo [05:30] I tried to open the pdf with writer but it only show the source [05:30] I thought I had su to root... actually, I just wanted to check if I could switch to root cause truth is, I am trying to login as another user... I am trying to log a user out without actually switching over to there account. I found skill but that tells me to check killall, etc [05:31] same with the ps [05:31]
