[00:00] <kosaidpo> geirha: whiche mine or urs ?
[00:00] <geirha> find ~ -name savage \( -type d -o -type f \) -ok rm {} \;
[00:01] <kosaidpo> ok but why those \ and ()
[00:02] <kosaidpo> ohh well the () i got but why the \ b4 the em
[00:02] <geirha> because AND has higher precedence than OR.
[00:02] <geirha> You need to escape them from the shell, because () are special characters to the shell.

[00:03] <kosaidpo> their real job in shell ?

[02:52] <phillw> hi duanedesign
[02:57] <IAmNotThatGuy> heya phillw
[06:49] <phaytmobile> Hi. Typing on my phone. Ubuntu 10.04, attempting to connect to internet. Unable to get wired or wireless working, although wireless was working awhile ago. Can anyone help me?
[07:23] <seidos> phaytmobile, I don't know if I can help but I will try.  Have you tried ifconfig in a terminal?
[08:40] <Laggg|conky> what would this command do? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:conkyhardcore/ppa
[08:42] <swoody> Laggg|conky: that would add the repository (conkyhardcore) to your sources list
[08:42] <swoody> that way you can download all new packages/updates from there
[08:43] <Laggg|conky> how can i update ALL of them at once?
[08:43] <swoody> well, I shouldn't say *all*, but it would allow you to install/update whatever packages are in that repository
[08:43] <Laggg|conky> the last command i ran was: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install conkyforecast
[08:43] <Laggg|conky> how do I install 'all' the packages?
[08:43] <swoody> you can still use the regular update manager and apt-get to do updates/upgrades
[08:43] <Laggg|conky> in that repo lol
[08:44] <swoody> Laggg|conky: well, you can either make a list and do it manually (sudo apt-get install packx packy packz...)
[08:44] <swoody> or you could use Synaptic which may be easier
[08:44] <swoody> there is a 'Source' filter on the left side which will show you all the available packages in whatever repository you select
[08:45] <swoody> so if you click on the 'Source' filter and then the 'ppa:conkyharcore/ppa' repo it will list all available packages
[08:46] <swoody> or rather it is named 'Origin' not 'Source' sorry
[08:49] <Laggg|conky> i think im doing it correctly
[08:50] <swoody> that's good :)
[08:50] <swoody> any issues?
[08:51] <Laggg|conky> W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/conkyhardcore/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/c/conkybanshee/conkybanshee_2.05_all.deb
[08:51] <Laggg|conky>   Something wicked happened resolving 'ppa.launchpad.net:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[08:51] <Laggg|conky> all the packages failed
[08:52] <swoody> hmm...
[08:53] <swoody> odd, that link works for me :/
[08:53] <swoody> try to refresh your package list again, does it show any errors?
[08:54] <Laggg|conky> i clicked refresh and it's DLing a bunch of files now
[08:54] <Laggg|conky> but they are all failing again
[08:55] <swoody> do you have a proxy or anything else that you're connecting through?
[08:55] <Laggg|conky> Could not download all repository indexes
[08:55] <Laggg|conky> Nope, no proxy.
[08:55] <Laggg|conky> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg  Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[08:56] <swoody> hmm... that's from Ubuntu now, not the PPA repo as before
[08:56] <swoody> are you running Lucid or Maverick?
[08:56] <swoody> lucid I take it from the repository name above ;)
[08:58] <Laggg|conky> Lucid.
[08:58] <Laggg|conky> maybe I need to check for updates? Log out and then back in or something?
[08:59] <swoody> I suppose, logging out or rebooting couldn't hurt
[09:04] <swoody> Laggg|conky: are you using a wireless connection?
[09:04] <Laggg|conky> nope lol
[09:05] <swoody> Laggg|conky: well it looks like there's a lot of good info in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1475399.html
[09:06] <swoody> especially post #23: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9397572&postcount=23
[09:11] <swoody> Laggg|conky: any luck with that so far?
[09:12] <Laggg|conky> i tried updating and its still giving me errors.
[09:13] <Laggg|conky> W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/lucid/non-free/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2  Something wicked happened resolving 'packages.medibuntu.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[09:13] <swoody> and you changed your DNS address(s)?
[09:19] <Laggg|conky> DNS?
[09:24] <swoody> yes, as mentioned in the forum thread I posted above, this is most likely a DNS issue
[09:24] <swoody> it seems to have solved this issue for others with the same problem
[09:24] <swoody> especially post #23: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9397572&postcount=23
[09:28] <Laggg|conky> swoody: that worked out swell
[09:29] <swoody> Laggg|conky: oh? That's very good to hear :)
[09:30] <Laggg|conky> what does this E: /var/cache/apt/archives/conkydeluge-pre120_2.13_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/conkyDeluge', which is also in package conkydeluge 0
[09:32] <Laggg|conky> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/conkydeluge-pre120_2.13_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/conkyDeluge', which is also in package conkydeluge 0
[09:32] <swoody> hmmm...
[09:33] <swoody> it looks like there are two different versions of the same package, I would suggest trying to remove it and then reinstall it how you just tried
[09:36] <Laggg|conky> well im going to sleep now
[09:36] <Laggg|conky> thx for the help though
[09:36] <Laggg|conky> see you around tomorrow maybe :)
[11:09] <jordi> Good morning. Anybody there that can help a Xubuntu newbie?
[11:11] <jordi> I installed Xubuntu 10.4 but I cannot play mp3 files, Exaile keeps on saying "You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins." Googling I get in a mess about which packages I need.
[11:13] <Silver_Fox_> Activate the medibuntu repos and then install the w32codecs (or w64codecs) and also the xubuntu-restricted-extras, and you should have just about every codec you could ever need.
[11:13] <Silver_Fox_> http://www.medibuntu.org/
[11:13] <jordi> Thanks, let's try...
[11:14] <Silver_Fox_> Pleasure
[11:36] <duanedesign> morning all
[11:36] <zeroseven0183> Good evening!
[11:36] <zeroseven0183> :-)
[11:38] <geirha> Hm. Does gstreamer use w32codecs? I thought only mplayer used that.
[11:39] <geirha> Good mid-day
[11:42] <jordi> It works! Thanks Silver_Fox_!
[11:42] <Silver_Fox_> xine also uses  w32codecs geirha
[11:42] <Silver_Fox_> So, not only mplayer
[11:42] <Silver_Fox_> Pleasure jordi
[11:43] <Silver_Fox_> gstreamer uses them also geirha i believe
[11:44] <geirha> I see
[11:46] <Silver_Fox_> Hello zeroseven0183  and duanedesign
[12:39] <bobo123> is it possible to block a packet so it can't be installed by mistake?
[12:41] <bobo123> if I for example want to be sure that a library I don't want gets installed because of a game I depends on it.
[13:01] <duanedesign> bobo123: you want to prevent a package from being installed
[13:02] <duanedesign> and that package is a dependency of another package you want to insstall
[13:06] <duanedesign> bobo123: To block a package for apt-get you need to edit /etc/apt/preferences
[13:09] <duanedesign> bobo123: http://entwinery.blogspot.com/2009/09/preventing-gcj-from-being-installed-by.html
[13:10] <bobo123> duanedesign: I just looked around in Synaptic and it seems that if I select "Lock version" in the menu Packet for a packet that isn't installed, it will not install that packet (but strangely enough thinks it is ok to install programs that depend on it anyway)
[13:11] <bobo123> ahh.. nice webpage. yeah that is of course a reason too :-)
[14:44] <bihari>  http://img835.imageshack.us/i/snap1q.png/ << can any one tell me whats that ?
[17:21] <ubuntuser1> .
[17:32] <ubuntuser1> Hi! Could anyone help me? I've installed Ubuntu 10.4 and configured empathy for instant mailing. Empathy remember my password (I don't like that). Is there any way to configure Empathy in order to ask password every time I use it?
[19:39] <duanedesign> afternoon all

[21:09] <Laggg> Question: I'm on an iMac and Ubuntu won't recognize my AUX OUTPUT. How do I fix this?
[21:27] <duanedesign> hello Laggg
[21:49] <kikela> hi, some used with success RhythmBox to download podcast ? (lucid lynx x64)
[21:50] <squaregoldfish> kikela: Yep!
[21:54] <kikela> squaregoldfish, all the podcast i tried to download i have a download failure flag. Works with Gpodder but if i can use Rhythmbox i prefer
[21:54] <kikela> i need some special parmameters ?
[21:56] <squaregoldfish> Not that I'm aware of. Have you checked the the podcast download location in Preferences?
[21:58] <kikela> yes, but i have always a failure to download
[21:58] <squaregoldfish> I was just checking that the directory that rhythmbox tries to download to actually exists.
[21:59] <squaregoldfish> If that's OK, try running rhythmbox from the terminal and see if it prints any errors when downloading.
[22:02] <kikela> i launched rhythmbox from terminal but i have no return on the terminal when it tries to download
[22:08] <squaregoldfish> You can run rhythmbox in debug mode: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt
[22:08] <squaregoldfish> See if that says anything useful.
[22:15] <kikela> the only thing is this ((17:12:50) [0x18c8040] [rb_threads_init] rb-util.c:482: GMutex isn't recursive)
[22:15] <kikela> in debug mode, it don't start downloading
[22:15] <bobo123> something that whould be cool is if error messages written to the terminal window by a gui program, would pop up as a dialogbox instead if the program wasn't started from a terminal windows but from the normal program menu :-)
[22:16] <kikela> and after is this :(17:12:50) [0x18c8040] [main] main.c:185: going to create DBus object
[22:17] <kikela> and after : THE END
[22:17] <kikela> no more entries in rhythmbox debug txt
[22:18] <squaregoldfish> Hmm. Well, if you're not getting any messages from the debug log I'm stumped. Better ask at the forums or the rhythmbox mailing list. Sorry I can't be of more help.
[22:19] <kikela> squaregoldfish, thank you very much for your help i'll try to find a gnome channel
[22:24] <duanedesign> kikela: do you have an ipod/iphone attached to the computer?
