[09:35] so that the rest won't keep coming up as updates [09:36] after insatlling that one part you can disable the ppa [09:36] but won't the system want to downgrade that one installed part? [09:37] no [09:40] yep you can only go up :) [09:51] k, thanks bye :) [09:52] bye [12:02] any good rss reader/ [12:38] AbhiJit: google reader is what I prefer [12:38] ohh ok thanks teek [12:39] : [12:39] :( [12:39] i mean geekosopher [12:40] AbhiJit: what do you use right now? [12:40] yarssr [12:41] see this geekosopher [12:41] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yarssr/+bug/656817 [12:41] Launchpad bug 656817 in yarssr (Ubuntu) "yarssr dont support Devanagari (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] [12:42] i prefer a online reader so that I can keep tabs on my read from any machine [12:44] hmm === aveilleux_ is now known as aveilleux [17:14] I want to convert ASCII pdf file to UNICODE pdf. As I want to use the search option of the pdf reader. [17:19] shahan, [17:19] shahan, : i am not getting [17:20] shahan: I thought all PDF files were in unicode [17:20] aveilleux: no... I have some in ASCII in bengali language [17:21] genupulas: I have some PDF files which are in ASCII [17:23] shahan, so do you wanna convert them to pdf code [17:23] in a big PDF file we are to use SEARCH option to find any thing easily... [17:23] genupulas: no... [17:24] genupulas: already these files are in pdf [17:24] my oh my, I thought this is ubuntu-beginners channel, but looks like I got into ubuntu-experts channel ;) [17:25] shahan, sorry i'm still in doubt [17:25] genupulas: as UBUNTU doesnt support ASCII writting. its very tough for me to find out on these PDF [17:26] genupulas: got the point? [17:26] Anyone know where I can go to get help with the Alpine email client? [17:26] shahan, ...yes [17:28] Aitrus41, google that [17:28] Aitrus41: I hope you have already visited http://www.washington.edu/alpine/ [17:29] Yeah I have... having trouble with SMTP and can't find the answer anywhere so far [17:29] hoping to chat with someone who could look at the settings and see what's wrong [17:30] Aitrus41: go ahead and ask the question, anyone who knows the answer will definitely help you [17:34] I'm trying to send mail over port 587 from my work email using Alpine but I keep getting the error "Error sending: Can not authenticate to SMTP server: 334 OK. Continue authentication". I can read mail fine, I Just can't send it. Here are the settings: http://pastebin.com/FzaynLnK [17:36] In Outlook, I check "My outgoing server requires authentication" and I check off "Use same settings as my incoming mail settings" and that grabs mail fine, if that helps [19:05] Hello. I'm trying to run an application using wine. If su to root, I can run it from terminal. As myself, I get "wine: /home/jason/.wine is not owned by you". [19:05] gone to my /.wine directory and ran ls -l. Everything appears to be owned by me? [19:07] can you run ls -lA | grep wine [19:07] from your home dir [19:08] drwxrwxrwx 4 jason jason 4096 2010-10-08 15:07 .wine [19:08] and tell us what it says the folder is owned by [19:09] ehcah: Something you can do is sudo chown -r jason:jason /home/jason/.wine/ [19:09] Er [19:09] chown -R [19:09] I actually did that about 20 minutes ago. [19:09] Weird [19:09] I did not get an error message, but it did not seem to make a different. [19:09] difference. [19:10] Man. I can not type today. [19:10] ehcah: That's pretty weird... [19:10] I have a security camera application that will only run under windows. [19:11] The web browser requires a functional "ie tab" which is not available for any of the linux browsers. [19:11] Wine is my best shot. Too bad I've been dry since April! ;) [19:12] ehcah: ...I slap you with feesh for that [19:12] I don't understand why I can open the application using either the wine command or a script from terminal once I've become root. As myself, I' [19:12] I can not. [19:12] LO [19:12] LOL [19:13] ehcah: Do other WINE programs run fine? ex. Notepad [19:14] ehcah: Something else you can try is to run the program from a different directory [19:14] Right now, I can use wine "/home/jason/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/D9-Viewer.exe" from terminal once root. [19:15] ehcah: Yes but do other programs run under WINE as jason? [19:15] If not root wine "/home/jason/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/D9-Viewer.exe" gives me nothing and simply adding "sudo" wine "/home/jason/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/D9-Viewer.exe" tells me I don't own the dir. [19:16] I just opened Notepad from the short cut under Applications. [19:16] So, I guess, yes. [19:16] Okay. [19:16] ehcah: Move that program directory to your home dir and try it from there [19:16] I've tried installing this app through the WINE gui, without success. Running the command I pasted above is the only way I can get it workign. [19:16] Wait a sec [19:16] Simply pull it forward? [19:17] k. [19:17] The exe is located right in Program Files? [19:17] yes. [19:17] I placed it there. [19:18] The original *.exe spit out the run.exe and uninstall.exe files and I chose to place them in that folder. [19:18] There are no other files associated with the program? [19:18] as in, it's standalone [19:19] The first time I tried to run it, it was missing some .dll's. I ran an MS patch, and now it works. [19:19] I sre [19:19] See* [19:19] I beleive they were installed under the same directories though. [19:19] Try placing the executable in your home dir and running it from there [19:20] just a sec. [19:23] No dice as "jason" with and without sudo in front. I get wine: /home/jason/.wine is not owned by you [19:23] Oh then it's a wine config problem. [19:24] ehcah: Do you have any other WINE programs? [19:24] nope. [19:24] This was the first besides notepad. [19:24] Try this, then. [19:25] sudo aptitude purge wine && rm -r ~/.wine && sudo aptitude install wine [19:25] Then run winecfg [19:26] That'll completely uninstall then reinstall WINE [19:26] running now. I thought about that. Would apt-get autoremove wine have worked? [19:26] Autoremove is a different command. [19:27] ok. I wasn't sure. [19:27] Aptitude automatically runs autoremove every time it runs [19:27] ok. I had a lot of problems building an HTPC a few weeks ago and getting LIRC and imon working. [19:28] installed, removed a lot. [19:28] I've got winecfg open. [19:28] ehcah: Head over to the "Audio" tab, just to get that automagically set up [19:29] ehcah: Then you can hit "Apply" and close it [19:29] There is no audio driver currently specified in the registry? [19:29] workign now. [19:29] ehcah: Yes that. [19:29] ok. It's closed now. [19:30] ehcah: What's the name of the executable file? [19:30] D9-Viewer.exe [19:31] ehcah: Run sudo chown jason:jason ~/D9-Viewer.exe [19:32] done [19:33] ehcah: Now try wine start /home/jason/D9-Viewer.exe [19:34] err:module:import_dll Library CovH264ToAvi.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\jason\\D9-Viewer.exe") not found [19:34] err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\jason\\D9-Viewer.exe" failed, status c0000135 [19:34] You may have to run that Windows patch again [19:34] I'm looking for it. I hope I kept it. [19:34] !pastebin | ehcah [19:34] ehcah: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [19:34] Sorry man. [19:34] I usually do use pastebin. [19:34] No problem [19:34] It was one long line in my screen. [19:35] WINE usually reports errors on separate lines [19:35] Now you know [19:36] yeah. [19:36] I'll have to find that patch.exe again. [19:36] When I find it. Do I run it from terminal using the wine command? [19:36] Might as well install it correctly this time. [19:36] Hang on a sec [19:36] k. [19:39] ehcah: Can you link where you got the patch? [19:40] I have to find it first. I wish Chrome in Linux was as easy as in Windows7 to find past links... [19:41] ehcah: Doesn't ctrl-H bring up the history? [19:43] I did it the hard way. I vaguely remembered it coming from support.microsoft.... and starting looking for auto completes. [19:43] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259403 [19:43] It is more information. I beleive that is the file I downloaded. [19:44] Ah, the VC redist [19:45] Yea, you'll want to do wine start [19:45] I'm about 99% that is is. [19:45] from the ~/Download folder? [19:46] and obviously as "jason" not "root". [19:46] ehcah: Sure, it doesn't really matter where you run it from [19:46] Yes. [19:47] It's asking me where I want to place the extracted files? [19:47] There's never any reason to run anything in WINE as root [19:47] I'm paranoid now. :( [19:47] I know - now. :( [19:47] C:/Windows/system32 [19:47] Should go there [19:47] k. [19:47] dll files always go into system32 [19:48] I can't get to it. Their Browse Tree only shows regular files and directories. Not hidden. Ctrl+H doesn't expand it. [19:49] ehcah: As... A Windows file? It should just be c: [19:49] ehcah: Don't be in Z: [19:49] Ok, so back in my Win7 folder? [19:50] ehcah: What are you talking about? [19:50] My goal is to completely rebuild this laptop as 100% linux once I know everything works. [19:50] I'm on a dual boot. [19:50] ehcah: The [19:50] C:/ is my actual Win 7 folders... [19:50] ..... [19:51] That's not how it should appear to WINE [19:51] Linux handles drives completely differently than Windows [19:51] fonr [19:51] done. [19:52] The "C:\" in WINE is a pointer to ~/.wine/drive_c/ [19:52] It's not related to your actual Windows partition [19:53] The files are under c:/Windows/system32 [19:53] Now try running the original program [19:53] wine start D9-Viewer.exe [19:54] same error as before the update. [19:54] Then that patch was the incorrect one [19:55] It's all I added. [19:56] I have to go, I'll be back in about 20 minutes [19:56] Then I'll be at an actual computer and I can help you better [19:56] I don't think I dare take anymore of your time. I'll leave this channel open though. [19:57] Well I was actually just in class :P [19:58] Oh man. I thought I was bad that I am supposed to be working, on the laptop to my immediate right! :) [20:17] ehcah: ping [20:34] Hello [20:34] Came back from the Dead. [20:34] I like your exit message. [20:51] Hey, I haven't run linux for a while, but I haven't changed anything, but suddenly my wacom tablet isn't working [20:51] Its plugged in, but doesn't work === yofel_ is now known as yofel
