ubot2andrew_708476: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)21:22

andrew_708476the internet22:03
aveilleuxandrew_708476: That's not what I asked. I asked where you saved the file TO, not where you downloaded the file FROM.22:04

andrew_708476what do I have to type22:12
aveilleuxandrew_708476: You're not going to be able to get help if you don't follow my directions exactly22:12
aveilleuxandrew_708476: I told you to type "ls" (LS lowercase without the quotes) and hit Enter22:12
andrew_708476sorry if I seem a bit slow but I suffer from Schizofrenia and have a bad memorry22:13
aveilleuxandrew_708476: That's not much of an excuse since IRC has a text backlog. In either case, please do as directed.22:14
andrew_708476yes I typed it22:14
andrew_708476well Im just telling how I am22:14

andrew_708476ok22:22

nUboon2Agethanks serfus for the jabber chat. :)22:25
aveilleuxandrew_708476: type "gksudo ./ueav.i386.en.linux" without the quotes and hit enter. You *must* include the period-slash ( ./ ) in front.22:25
serfusnUboon2Age, NP22:25
andrew_708476like this /gksudo ./ueav.i386.en.linux22:26
aveilleuxNo. No slash in front.22:26
andrew_708476ok then Ive done it right then22:27
andrew_708476downloads is still there22:27
andrew_708476andrew@andrew-desktop:~/Downloads$22:28
aveilleuxN-no, the program should be running now.22:28
andrew_708476its not22:28
nUboon2Ageserfus: ha!  I'm still trying to figure out how to disconnect.22:28
nUboon2Ageserfus: well that quit empathy and worked i guess.  not a graceful chat exit.22:29
aveilleuxandrew_708476: Then try "sudo ./ueav.i386.en.linux"22:30
andrew_708476http://beta.eset.com/linux thats where I got the program from22:31
nUboon2Ageserfus: i quit and then started empathy again and the conversation is stilll right there.  so i guess its kind of a persistent conversation unless you 'remove' the contact.  kinda wierd.22:31
andrew_708476sudo: ./ueav.i386.en.linux: command not found22:32
andrew_708476andrew@andrew-desktop:~/Downloads$22:32
serfusnUboon2Age, well, no you are disconnected22:32
nUboon2Ageserfus: i just started it again and again it shows the conversation.22:32
aveilleuxandrew_708476: Do another ls and paste the output into Pastebin, please?22:32
aveilleuxnUboon2Age: It saves the backlogs from past conversations22:33
nUboon2Ageaveilleux: okay, yes.  and it also seems to reopen the connection.22:33

andrew_708476nothing happeneds22:34
aveilleuxandrew_708476: type "sudo chmod +x ueav.i386.en.linux" then "sudo ./ueav.i386.en.linux"22:35
andrew_708476yes thanks its installing22:37
aveilleuxandrew_708476: I also noticed that you downloaded the Windows installer for VLC Media Player. Two things: One, Windows programs will *not* run on Linux; two: VLC is in the Ubuntu repositories.22:38
andrew_708476ok22:39
andrew_708476do I need to change that22:39
nUboon2Ageaveilleux: serfus: it looks like you have to 'remove' the contact in Empathy to actually stop the connection.  That's too bad.  I'd call that a bug.22:39
aveilleuxandrew_708476: Change what?22:40
andrew_708476anything on my computer22:40
aveilleuxandrew_708476: I don't understand. You're asking fragments of questions. Form a full sentence please?22:40

aveilleuxandrew_708476: That's not helpful. Are you getting error messages?22:42
andrew_708476nothing22:42
aveilleuxandrew_708476: What are you doing to try and open NOD32?22:43
andrew_708476just to see if it will open and scan for virus22:43
aveilleuxandrew_708476: That didn't answer my question. What process are you using to try and open NOD32?22:44
andrew_708476yes22:45
aveilleuxandrew_708476: I'm not asking a yes-or-no question.22:45
andrew_708476thats it when I cklick on it, it wont even do anything22:45

aveilleuxandrew_708476: When I ask you to paste the output here, I only want the one line that's returned to you22:51
andrew_708476thats all that came from that uname -a22:51
aveilleuxandrew_708476: You added in the line before and after it. That's not what I wanted. Please be polite to the other members of the chat and only take up one line at a time. If I know the output will be more than one line, I ask you to use Pastebin.22:52
andrew_708476ok sorry22:53

aveilleuxandrew_708476: Type "nod32" in Terminal22:54
