| josuchav | ok, so can someone help me, here's what I have: I need to make libfltk1.1_1.1.9-4_i386.deb available to a certain executable. I found the file, but don't know what to do next | 04:37 |
|---|---|---|
| aveilleux | josuchav: Why would you need to make the package file available to another executable? | 04:39 |
| josuchav | It's kind of a long story, but in short, I'm tryin to get xs++ running on my laptop to unbrand my phone. If I run "sudo thunar" and double click the executable, the terminal asks for that file | 04:42 |
| josuchav | the site tells me I need it too | 04:42 |
| aveilleux | josuchav: ...thunar? Are you in Xubuntu? | 04:43 |
| josuchav | yes | 04:43 |
| josuchav | is that ok | 04:43 |
| josuchav | I'm really just now steppin into the terminal and away from the Ubuntu software center | 04:45 |
| josuchav | so it's been quite the learnin experience for me | 04:45 |
| aveilleux | josuchav: If you need to install the .deb file, you can just run sudo dpkg -i libfltk1.1_1.1.9-4_i386.deb | 04:46 |
| josuchav | aveilleux: you think this is a bad idea though? | 04:47 |
| aveilleux | josuchav: I just don't understand what you're trying to do. | 04:47 |
| aveilleux | josuchav: I will be stepping out in a moment, be back in a bit | 04:48 |
| josuchav | aveilleux: ok | 04:48 |
| josuchav | i got it to work.. thanks | 04:59 |
| shahan | problem on installing .deb on Maverick. the Software Center opens | 07:53 |
| shahan | the Software Center opens while installing .deb files | 07:54 |
| aveilleux | shahan: right-click, Open With, GDebi | 07:54 |
| shahan | aveilleux: I have no GDebi installed | 07:55 |
| aveilleux | pffffwhaaat | 07:55 |
| aveilleux | Is it not included in the default install? | 07:55 |
| shahan | aveilleux: sudo apt-get install gdebi does not work | 07:57 |
| shahan | aveilleux: it says "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb" | 07:57 |
| shahan | aveilleux: sorry | 07:57 |

| RambleTamble | Hi. What is the difference between .deb and .rpm? Which package should i download? | 09:19 |
| andrew_46 | RambleTamble: Ubuntu does not normally use .rpm packages, normally .deb. Which software are you lookin at? | 09:20 |
| andrew_46 | g | 09:21 |
| RambleTamble | openoffice | 09:21 |
| andrew_46 | oic | 09:21 |
| andrew_46 | RambleTamble: Not keen on the repository version? | 09:21 |
| RambleTamble | andrew_46: I've just thought about it) and can I update it via bash? sudo apt-get update openoffice - something like that? | 09:23 |
| andrew_46 | RambleTamble: Normally if you have openoffice installed a new version in the Ubuntu Repository will be downloaded in the course of a routine update | 09:24 |
| andrew_46 | That is: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:24 |
| andrew_46 | But IMHO differences between close OpenOffice versions is not that great anyway :) | 09:25 |
| andrew_46 | Others will disagree | 09:25 |
| RambleTamble | andrew_46: thanks. hmm anyway after update&upgrade it still 3.2.0 and lastest release is 3.2.1. It means that lastest release not immediately comes to repository? | 09:29 |
| andrew_46 | RambleTamble: No, this depends on when the Ubuntu/Debian packagers prepare the package and release it to the Ubuntu Repository | 09:30 |
| RambleTamble | andrew_46: got it thanks | 09:33 |
| andrew_46 | RambleTamble: Less of a problem with Openoffice than programs like FFmpeg and MPlayer which date very quickly :( | 09:34 |
| JoeMaverickSett | RambleTamble: or you could upgrade it using this ppa https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa | 09:35 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ah, wait, i think this one would be better, RambleTamble. | 09:37 |
| JoeMaverickSett | RambleTamble: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/08/openoffice-321-available-in-ubuntu-1004.html | 09:38 |
| andrew_46 | RambleTamble: You are keen for the newest version? | 09:39 |
| RambleTamble | andrew_46: yep.. | 09:39 |
| andrew_46 | RambleTamble: As JoeMaverickSett has mentioned a PPA might be the answer, but I have not personally tested the scribblers one :( | 09:46 |
| andrew_46 | You are running Maverick? | 09:48 |
| RambleTamble | I've just updated it using second link, it's 3.2.1 now :) | 09:49 |
| andrew_46 | RambleTamble: Too easy :) | 09:50 |
| JoeMaverickSett | lol. | 09:50 |

| eaerth | might i be able to trouble someone with a little of their time troubleshooting a bug i'm having? | 11:54 |
| slidinghorn | eaerth: I'm no expert, but I'm more than happy to try! | 11:55 |
| eaerth | slidinghorn: thanks! a response was all i was even looking for hahahaha | 11:55 |
| slidinghorn | eaerth: well then, that was easy! lol | 11:56 |
| eaerth | slidinghorn: i'm running maverick and bsically one in ten times when i move my windows the screen just goes black ;\ | 11:56 |
| slidinghorn | eaerth: no blinking cursor or anything, just black? | 11:57 |
| eaerth | yeah, just black... i googled the heck out of this and i did find a few cases of it happening to people on boot and i guess they had flashing cursors... but mine is well after boot. sometimes it rarely happens but it's prominently when moving a window around the desktop. and as far as i can tell everything is still running because if i had music playing it's still on... | 11:59 |
| slidinghorn | is it any specific window? or just any one? | 12:00 |
| eaerth | any one. | 12:00 |
| slidinghorn | hmm...let me do some digging and see if I can find anything | 12:00 |
| eaerth | thanks so much! :D | 12:00 |
| slidinghorn | what are your specs? (resources, video card, etc) | 12:01 |
| eaerth | at first i could deal with it, just had to shut down but it's gotten so irritating lately... | 12:01 |
| eaerth | k my video card is ati radeon uhhhmm... xpress 200M as far as resources goes what are you referring to? | 12:01 |
| eaerth | like cpu/ram? | 12:02 |
| slidinghorn | both, and is this a laptop/desktop? brand? also, are you running desktop or netbook edition? | 12:03 |
| eaerth | yeah, laptop acer aspire 5100, running the desktop edition i'm pretty sure, the 32bit version. | 12:03 |
| slidinghorn | k | 12:04 |
| eaerth | cpu is 1.6ghz and i'm pretty sure i have two 512mb ram cards. | 12:04 |
| eaerth | my processor is 64bit but honestly, with the low amount of ram i have i doubt i'd even notice the fragment of a second difference in speed if i used the 64bit version of ubuntu... | 12:05 |
| eaerth | i had lucid for a short amount of time before doing a clean install of maverick and never had this problem. ;\ | 12:06 |
| eaerth | hmmm... are you familiar at all with any driver stuff associated with xorg edgers? i think it was called gallium or something... i can't remember the name or i'd try to get rid of it and see if that helps. | 12:07 |
| slidinghorn | well Lucid is likely to be more stable, as it's an LTS (long term support) release -- the in-between releases (like Maverick) are known to be a bit more buggy | 12:08 |
| eaerth | see i didn't know maverick was an in between release! what a bummer... some perfect ten this turned out to be ;S | 12:09 |
| eaerth | honestly the only reason i even upgraded was because i tried getting this music app guayadeque and it wouldn't load, it jsut showed the splash and then nothing but it's in maverick's repo so i said why not try the new version anyway? | 12:11 |
| slidinghorn | ah, yes...every 2 years (I believe) they release an LTS and then the others are kind of like tinker toys to experiment for the next LTS (that's the way I tend to look at it) | 12:11 |
| eaerth | those sick perverts! | 12:11 |
| eaerth | hahaha jk | 12:12 |
| slidinghorn | lol | 12:12 |
| eaerth | yeah this is a real bummer... | 12:12 |
| eaerth | i have a few more bugs but this one is the most annoying ;\ | 12:12 |
| eaerth | is it possible to downgrade back to lucid without losing my files? | 12:13 |
| bioterror | I suggest downgrade only by fresh installation | 12:13 |
| eaerth | yeah..... | 12:13 |
| slidinghorn | as far as I'm aware, downgrading isn't supported...I'd back up the files & install freash | 12:13 |
| slidinghorn | fresh* | 12:13 |
| eaerth | i figured that and was hoping by a long shot maybe i was wrong hahaha | 12:14 |
| eaerth | my friend took his external hdd back so now i'm stuck i think. | 12:14 |
| bioterror | copy your ~/ to safe and reinstall | 12:14 |
| eaerth | ~/ ? | 12:14 |
| eaerth | home folder? | 12:14 |
| bioterror | yeah | 12:14 |
| eaerth | gotcha | 12:14 |
| bioterror | there no place like ~ or 127.0.0.1 ;) | 12:14 |
| eaerth | hahaha, forreal... | 12:15 |
| eaerth | is there perhaps a xorg irc channel? ;S | 12:15 |
| eaerth | i went to opengl but apparently it's only for app developers and one of the guys there was a jerkface. | 12:16 |
| bioterror | :D | 12:16 |
| eaerth | hahahahaha | 12:16 |
| slidinghorn | lol @ jerkface...that's what my gf calls me :-P | 12:17 |
| eaerth | hahaha nice | 12:17 |
| eaerth | yeah i'm trying not to upset any bots with my potty mouth. ;S | 12:18 |
| eaerth | hmmmm... what about a way of reverting maverick back to the way it was when i first installed it without losing files? ;S | 12:21 |

| shahan | ? | 16:49 |

| AbhiJit | hi shahan | 16:53 |
| shahan | AbhiJit: hello | 16:53 |
| shahan | I am interested to set Dolphine as my filemanager | 16:53 |
| AbhiJit | shahan, in future if you have important things to add to ibus wiki feel free to do so. you can learn the editing in #ubuntu-beginners-wiki etc | 16:53 |
| shahan | AbhiJit: ok.. tnx | 16:54 |

| genupulas | http://paste.ubuntu.com/518124/ | 16:55 |
| genupulas | komputes, ^ | 16:55 |
| shahan | slidinghorn: I want to use Dolphine... | 16:57 |
| slidinghorn | shahan: that link tells you how to do it | 16:57 |
| slidinghorn | shahan: what is dolphine? | 16:57 |
| shahan | slidinghorn: its a File Manager like Nautilus | 16:58 |
| genupulas | slidinghorn, its a file manager in kubuntu | 16:58 |
| slidinghorn | genupulas: that's what I thought but the "e" at the end was confusing me | 16:58 |
| shahan | slidinghorn: its not the Dolphine ... its Thunar | 16:59 |
| genupulas | shahan, thunar | 16:59 |
| slidinghorn | shahan: dolphin is further down | 16:59 |
| genupulas | shahan, thunar means | 17:00 |
| slidinghorn | shahan: oh i'm sorry, i guess they haven't added the script yet.... | 17:00 |
| shahan | genupulas: its a file manager | 17:00 |
| genupulas | shahan, ok | 17:01 |
| genupulas | http://paste.ubuntu.com/518124/ shahan look this please | 17:01 |
| genupulas | shahan, i working on this form last night | 17:01 |
| shahan | slidinghorn: Dolphine installed.... | 17:02 |
| shahan | slidinghorn: its not good..... :( I thought it would be good.... | 17:02 |
| shahan | genupulas: hmm | 17:02 |
| slidinghorn | shahan: now that I've looked further into it, I don't think you can change file managers that easily because nautilus manages the icons/desktop | 17:03 |
| shahan | slidinghorn: hmm | 17:03 |
| shahan | genupulas: sorry!! I also tried on this... but didnt go forward.... | 17:04 |
| shahan | genupulas: you can ask others.... I am sorry :( | 17:04 |
| genupulas | shahan, choose any one who can help me about this | 17:05 |

| Cheri703 | done for now | 17:31 |
| standforth | Cool. I'm having great fun with Inkscape. Checked out a branch last night. | 17:32 |
| Cheri703 | good good | 17:32 |
| standforth | One thing I think it needs is a splash screen. | 17:33 |
| aveilleux | Nothing needs a splash screen. | 17:33 |
| Cheri703 | +1 aveilleux | 17:34 |
| standforth | aveilluex, well it's always nice to know it's loading. | 17:34 |
| hobgoblin | I like to assume things have loaded when they appear :) | 17:35 |
| aveilleux | "Loading Inkscape" in the Panel is good enough for me | 17:35 |
| standforth | okay then, I just like to see some pretty graphics. | 17:36 |
| hobgoblin | different kettle of fish completely :) | 17:37 |
| * seidos throws a pumpkin bomb at hobgoblin and runs | 17:38 | |

| ehcah | Hello. Does anyone have any experience with Cedega? | 18:31 |
| aveilleux | ehcah: I have some; not a lot, and not recent | 18:31 |
| ehcah | aveileux: Is it specifically for Gaming? Or, like "wine", can I install a Windows Based Home Design Suite software? | 18:32 |
| slidinghorn | ehcah: it's used to run a lot of windows programs...check out the appdb | 18:33 |
| slidinghorn | !appdb | ehcah | 18:33 |
| ubot2 | ehcah: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 18:33 |
| ehcah | slidinghorn: My program, "Architectural Studio 5000" is not on their list. I have it running under wine, but it is very slow. It runs better under my Windows 7 Virtual OS. | 18:35 |
| slidinghorn | ehcah: some apps run better virtually than in wine...just have to find the right way to do it | 18:35 |
| aveilleux | ehcah: I do not recommend Cedega. It is proprietary and uses outdated WINE code. | 18:35 |
| aveilleux | ehcah: It's basically proprietary WINE. | 18:36 |
| ehcah | slidinghorn: is there any way to modify how wine treats my app? | 18:36 |
| ehcah | aveilleux: It's also $6 a month with no guarantees of working... | 18:36 |
| aveilleux | ehcah: That too. | 18:36 |
| ehcah | aveilleux: If wine is running my program. Is there any way to modify wine to run it cleaner? | 18:37 |
| slidinghorn | ehcah: dont know...try checking out #winehq -- that's the official wine support channel | 18:37 |
| ehcah | slidinghorn: I asked a few times between last night and this morning. No answers... | 18:37 |
| aveilleux | ehcah: What version are you running? You could try updating to the dev version | 18:38 |
| ehcah | aveilleux: 1.2.1 | 18:38 |
| aveilleux | ehcah: Try updating to 1.3.*, the development version. It might help performance a little. | 18:39 |
| ehcah | Is that a matter of updating my sources.list to a ... nightly-build? | 18:40 |
| aveilleux | ehcah: add the PPA, then uninstall wine1.2 and install wine1.3 | 18:41 |
| aveilleux | ehcah: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb | 18:41 |
| ehcah | aveilleux: Will I have to reinstall all the windows apps I have been using? | 18:42 |
