[09:35] <Willex> hi
[09:35] <AbhiJit> hi
[09:35] <Willex> is it possible to install only one part of a PPA and leave the rest out?
[09:35] <Willex> so that the rest won't keep coming up as updates
[09:36] <AbhiJit> after insatlling that one part you can disable the ppa
[09:36] <Willex> but won't the system want to downgrade that one installed part?
[09:37] <AbhiJit> no
[09:40] <duanedesign> yep you can only go up :)
[09:51] <Willex> k, thanks bye :)
[09:52] <AbhiJit> bye

[12:42] <geekosopher> i prefer a online reader so that I can keep tabs on my read from any machine
[12:44] <AbhiJit> hmm
[17:14] <shahan> I want to convert ASCII pdf file to UNICODE pdf. As I want to use the search option of the pdf reader.
[17:19] <genupulas> shahan,
[17:19] <genupulas> shahan, : i am not getting
[17:20] <aveilleux> shahan: I thought all PDF files were in unicode
[17:20] <shahan> aveilleux: no... I have some in ASCII in bengali language
[17:21] <shahan> genupulas: I have some PDF files which are in ASCII
[17:23] <genupulas> shahan, so do you wanna convert them to pdf code
[17:23] <shahan> in a big PDF file we are to use SEARCH option to find any thing easily...
[17:23] <shahan> genupulas: no...
[17:24] <shahan> genupulas: already these files are in pdf
[17:24] <geekosopher> my oh my, I thought this is ubuntu-beginners channel, but looks like I got into ubuntu-experts channel ;)
[17:25] <genupulas> shahan, sorry i'm still in doubt
[17:25] <shahan> genupulas: as UBUNTU doesnt support ASCII writting. its very tough for me to find out on these PDF
[17:26] <shahan> genupulas: got the point?
[17:26] <Aitrus41> Anyone know where I can go to get help with the Alpine email client?
[17:26] <genupulas> shahan, ...yes
[17:28] <genupulas> Aitrus41, google that
[17:28] <geekosopher> Aitrus41: I hope you have already visited http://www.washington.edu/alpine/
[17:29] <Aitrus41> Yeah I have... having trouble with SMTP and can't find the answer anywhere so far
[17:29] <Aitrus41> hoping to chat with someone who could look at the settings and see what's wrong
[17:30] <geekosopher> Aitrus41: go ahead and ask the question, anyone who knows the answer will definitely help you
[17:34] <Aitrus41> 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] <Aitrus41> 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] <ehcah> 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] <ehcah> gone to my /.wine directory and ran ls -l. Everything appears to be owned by me?
[19:07] <Mjiig> can you run ls -lA | grep wine
[19:07] <Mjiig> from your home dir
[19:08] <ehcah> drwxrwxrwx  4 jason jason  4096 2010-10-08 15:07 .wine
[19:08] <Mjiig> and tell us what it says the folder is owned by
[19:09] <aveilleux> ehcah: Something you can do is sudo chown -r jason:jason /home/jason/.wine/
[19:09] <aveilleux> Er
[19:09] <aveilleux> chown -R
[19:09] <ehcah> I actually did that about 20 minutes ago.
[19:09] <aveilleux> Weird
[19:09] <ehcah> I did not get an error message, but it did not seem to make a different.
[19:09] <ehcah> difference.
[19:10] <ehcah> Man. I can not type today.
[19:10] <aveilleux> ehcah: That's pretty weird...
[19:10] <ehcah> I have a security camera application that will only run under windows.
[19:11] <ehcah> The web browser requires a functional "ie tab" which is not available for any of the linux browsers.
[19:11] <ehcah> Wine is my best shot. Too bad I've been dry since April!  ;)
[19:12] <aveilleux> ehcah: ...I slap you with feesh for that
[19:12] <ehcah> 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] <ehcah> I can not.
[19:12] <ehcah> LO
[19:12] <ehcah> LOL
[19:13] <aveilleux> ehcah: Do other WINE programs run fine? ex. Notepad
[19:14] <aveilleux> ehcah: Something else you can try is to run the program from a different directory
[19:14] <ehcah> Right now, I can use wine "/home/jason/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/D9-Viewer.exe" from terminal once root.
[19:15] <aveilleux> ehcah: Yes but do other programs run under WINE as jason?
[19:15] <ehcah> 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] <ehcah> I just opened Notepad from the short cut under Applications.
[19:16] <ehcah> So, I guess, yes.
[19:16] <aveilleux> Okay.
[19:16] <aveilleux> ehcah: Move that program directory to your home dir and try it from there
[19:16] <ehcah> 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] <aveilleux> Wait a sec
[19:16] <ehcah> Simply pull it forward?
[19:17] <ehcah> k.
[19:17] <aveilleux> The exe is located right in Program Files?
[19:17] <ehcah> yes.
[19:17] <ehcah> I placed it there.
[19:18] <ehcah> The original *.exe spit out the run.exe and uninstall.exe files and I chose to place them in that folder.
[19:18] <aveilleux> There are no other files associated with the program?
[19:18] <aveilleux> as in, it's standalone
[19:19] <ehcah> 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] <aveilleux> I sre
[19:19] <aveilleux> See*
[19:19] <ehcah> I beleive they were installed under the same directories though.
[19:19] <aveilleux> Try placing the executable in your home dir and running it from there
[19:20] <ehcah> just a sec.
[19:23] <ehcah> No dice as "jason" with and without sudo in front. I get wine: /home/jason/.wine is not owned by you
[19:23] <aveilleux> Oh then it's a wine config problem.
[19:24] <aveilleux> ehcah: Do you have any other WINE programs?
[19:24] <ehcah> nope.
[19:24] <ehcah> This was the first besides notepad.
[19:24] <aveilleux> Try this, then.
[19:25] <aveilleux> sudo aptitude purge wine && rm -r ~/.wine && sudo aptitude install wine
[19:25] <aveilleux> Then run winecfg
[19:26] <aveilleux> That'll completely uninstall then reinstall WINE
[19:26] <ehcah> running now. I thought about that. Would apt-get autoremove wine have worked?
[19:26] <aveilleux> Autoremove is a different command.
[19:27] <ehcah> ok. I wasn't sure.
[19:27] <aveilleux> Aptitude automatically runs autoremove every time it runs
[19:27] <ehcah> ok. I had a lot of problems building an HTPC a few weeks ago and getting LIRC and imon working.
[19:28] <ehcah> installed, removed a lot.
[19:28] <ehcah> I've got winecfg open.
[19:28] <aveilleux> ehcah: Head over to the "Audio" tab, just to get that automagically set up
[19:29] <aveilleux> ehcah: Then you can hit "Apply" and close it
[19:29] <ehcah> There is no audio driver currently specified in the registry?
[19:29] <ehcah> workign now.
[19:29] <aveilleux> ehcah: Yes that.
[19:29] <ehcah> ok. It's closed now.
[19:30] <aveilleux> ehcah: What's the name of the executable file?
[19:30] <ehcah> D9-Viewer.exe
[19:31] <aveilleux> ehcah: Run sudo chown jason:jason ~/D9-Viewer.exe
[19:32] <ehcah> done
[19:33] <aveilleux> ehcah: Now try wine start /home/jason/D9-Viewer.exe
[19:34] <ehcah> err:module:import_dll Library CovH264ToAvi.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\jason\\D9-Viewer.exe") not found
[19:34] <ehcah> err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\jason\\D9-Viewer.exe" failed, status c0000135
[19:34] <aveilleux> You may have to run that Windows patch again
[19:34] <ehcah> I'm looking for it. I hope I kept it.
[19:34] <aveilleux> !pastebin | ehcah
[19:34] <ubot2> 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] <ehcah> Sorry man.
[19:34] <ehcah> I usually do use pastebin.
[19:34] <aveilleux> No problem
[19:34] <ehcah> It was one long line in my screen.
[19:35] <aveilleux> WINE usually reports errors on separate lines
[19:35] <aveilleux> Now you know
[19:36] <ehcah> yeah.
[19:36] <ehcah> I'll have to find that patch.exe again.
[19:36] <ehcah> When I find it. Do I run it from terminal using the wine command?
[19:36] <ehcah> Might as well install it correctly this time.
[19:36] <aveilleux> Hang on a sec
[19:36] <ehcah> k.
[19:39] <aveilleux> ehcah: Can you link where you got the patch?
[19:40] <ehcah> I have to find it first. I wish Chrome in Linux was as easy as in Windows7 to find past links...
[19:41] <aveilleux> ehcah: Doesn't ctrl-H bring up the history?
[19:43] <ehcah> I did it the hard way. I vaguely remembered it coming from support.microsoft.... and starting looking for auto completes.
[19:43] <ehcah> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259403
[19:43] <ehcah> It is more information. I beleive that is the file I downloaded.
[19:44] <aveilleux> Ah, the VC redist
[19:45] <aveilleux> Yea, you'll want to do wine start <name of executable>
[19:45] <ehcah> I'm about 99% that is is.
[19:45] <ehcah> from the ~/Download folder?
[19:46] <ehcah> and obviously as "jason" not "root".
[19:46] <aveilleux> ehcah: Sure, it doesn't really matter where you run it from
[19:46] <aveilleux> Yes.
[19:47] <ehcah> It's asking me where I want to place the extracted files?
[19:47] <aveilleux> There's never any reason to run anything in WINE as root
[19:47] <ehcah> I'm paranoid now.  :(
[19:47] <ehcah> I know - now.  :(
[19:47] <aveilleux> C:/Windows/system32
[19:47] <aveilleux> Should go there
[19:47] <ehcah> k.
[19:47] <aveilleux> dll files always go into system32
[19:48] <ehcah> 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] <aveilleux> ehcah: As... A Windows file? It should just be c:
[19:49] <aveilleux> ehcah: Don't be in Z:
[19:49] <ehcah> Ok, so back in my Win7 folder?
[19:50] <aveilleux> ehcah: What are you talking about?
[19:50] <ehcah> My goal is to completely rebuild this laptop as 100% linux once I know everything works.
[19:50] <ehcah> I'm on a dual boot.
[19:50] <aveilleux> ehcah: The
[19:50] <ehcah> C:/ is my actual Win 7 folders...
[19:50] <aveilleux> .....
[19:51] <aveilleux> That's not how it should appear to WINE
[19:51] <aveilleux> Linux handles drives completely differently than Windows
[19:51] <ehcah> fonr
[19:51] <ehcah> done.
[19:52] <aveilleux> The "C:\" in WINE is a pointer to ~/.wine/drive_c/
[19:52] <aveilleux> It's not related to your actual Windows partition
[19:53] <ehcah> The files are under c:/Windows/system32
[19:53] <aveilleux> Now try running the original program
[19:53] <aveilleux> wine start D9-Viewer.exe
[19:54] <ehcah> same error as before the update.
[19:54] <aveilleux> Then that patch was the incorrect one
[19:55] <ehcah> It's all I added.
[19:56] <aveilleux> I have to go, I'll be back in about 20 minutes
[19:56] <aveilleux> Then I'll be at an actual computer and I can help you better
[19:56] <ehcah> I don't think I dare take anymore of your time. I'll leave this channel open though.
[19:57] <aveilleux> Well I was actually just in class :P
[19:58] <ehcah> Oh man. I thought I was bad that I am supposed to be working, on the laptop to my immediate right!  :)
[20:17] <aveilleux> ehcah: ping
[20:34] <ehcah> Hello
[20:34] <ehcah> Came back from the Dead.
[20:34] <ehcah> I like your exit message.
