=== stlsaint is now known as STLSAINT === harrisonk_away is now known as harrisonk [04:37] 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 [04:39] josuchav: Why would you need to make the package file available to another executable? [04:42] 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] the site tells me I need it too [04:43] josuchav: ...thunar? Are you in Xubuntu? [04:43] yes [04:43] is that ok [04:45] I'm really just now steppin into the terminal and away from the Ubuntu software center [04:45] so it's been quite the learnin experience for me [04:46] josuchav: If you need to install the .deb file, you can just run sudo dpkg -i libfltk1.1_1.1.9-4_i386.deb [04:47] aveilleux: you think this is a bad idea though? [04:47] josuchav: I just don't understand what you're trying to do. [04:48] josuchav: I will be stepping out in a moment, be back in a bit [04:48] aveilleux: ok [04:59] i got it to work.. thanks [07:53] problem on installing .deb on Maverick. the Software Center opens [07:54] the Software Center opens while installing .deb files [07:54] shahan: right-click, Open With, GDebi [07:55] aveilleux: I have no GDebi installed [07:55] pffffwhaaat [07:55] Is it not included in the default install? [07:57] aveilleux: sudo apt-get install gdebi does not work [07:57] aveilleux: it says "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb" [07:57] aveilleux: sorry [07:57] aveilleux: bash: cd: sudo: No such file or directory [07:59] aveilleux: installing from software center [08:01] aveilleux: tnx... :) [09:19] Hi. What is the difference between .deb and .rpm? Which package should i download? [09:20] RambleTamble: Ubuntu does not normally use .rpm packages, normally .deb. Which software are you lookin at? [09:21] g [09:21] openoffice [09:21] oic [09:21] RambleTamble: Not keen on the repository version? [09:23] andrew_46: I've just thought about it) and can I update it via bash? sudo apt-get update openoffice - something like that? [09:24] 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] That is: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [09:25] But IMHO differences between close OpenOffice versions is not that great anyway :) [09:25] Others will disagree [09:29] 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? [09:30] RambleTamble: No, this depends on when the Ubuntu/Debian packagers prepare the package and release it to the Ubuntu Repository [09:33] andrew_46: got it thanks [09:34] RambleTamble: Less of a problem with Openoffice than programs like FFmpeg and MPlayer which date very quickly :( [09:35] RambleTamble: or you could upgrade it using this ppa https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa [09:37] ah, wait, i think this one would be better, RambleTamble. [09:38] RambleTamble: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/08/openoffice-321-available-in-ubuntu-1004.html [09:39] RambleTamble: You are keen for the newest version? [09:39] andrew_46: yep.. [09:46] RambleTamble: As JoeMaverickSett has mentioned a PPA might be the answer, but I have not personally tested the scribblers one :( [09:48] You are running Maverick? [09:49] I've just updated it using second link, it's 3.2.1 now :) [09:50] RambleTamble: Too easy :) [09:50] lol. [10:03] It seems that imap email does not save my send emails in evolution 2.30.3 . Anybody any ideas? I tried a bunch...it works fine in Thunderbird but i really like evolution... [10:10] need to change the permission of a folder.... [10:10] I have tried through sudo chmod +w /var/www/folder_name [10:10] but its not changing I think [10:10] http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/3483/forbidden.png [10:11] shahan, how about +r [10:12] bioterror: didnt check [10:12] bioterror: let me check [10:12] bioterror: same .. not change [10:13] well [10:13] chmod a+r [10:14] bioterror: same [10:14] bioterror: no change [10:14] chmod 755 /var/www ? [10:15] shahan: how about,try this http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?p=153#p153 [10:16] JoeMaverickSett: tnx... its working [10:16] tnx all [10:16] shahan: okie, but read the post again also, just to be sure. [10:18] Today we have a meeting on UBUNTU about the release party... we all the users of Dhaka, Bangladesh will meet in a place... at 4 PM and its 3:17 PM [10:18] JoeMaverickSett: ok... I will read it later.... I have bookmarked it [10:18] shahan: okie. :) === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [11:54] might i be able to trouble someone with a little of their time troubleshooting a bug i'm having? [11:55] eaerth: I'm no expert, but I'm more than happy to try! [11:55] slidinghorn: thanks! a response was all i was even looking for hahahaha [11:56] eaerth: well then, that was easy! lol [11:56] slidinghorn: i'm running maverick and bsically one in ten times when i move my windows the screen just goes black ;\ [11:57] eaerth: no blinking cursor or anything, just black? [11:59] 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... [12:00] is it any specific window? or just any one? [12:00] any one. [12:00] hmm...let me do some digging and see if I can find anything [12:00] thanks so much! :D [12:01] what are your specs? (resources, video card, etc) [12:01] at first i could deal with it, just had to shut down but it's gotten so irritating lately... [12:01] k my video card is ati radeon uhhhmm... xpress 200M as far as resources goes what are you referring to? [12:02] like cpu/ram? [12:03] both, and is this a laptop/desktop? brand? also, are you running desktop or netbook edition? [12:03] yeah, laptop acer aspire 5100, running the desktop edition i'm pretty sure, the 32bit version. [12:04] k [12:04] cpu is 1.6ghz and i'm pretty sure i have two 512mb ram cards. [12:05] 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... [12:06] i had lucid for a short amount of time before doing a clean install of maverick and never had this problem. ;\ [12:07] 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. [12:08] 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 [12:09] see i didn't know maverick was an in between release! what a bummer... some perfect ten this turned out to be ;S [12:11] 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] 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] those sick perverts! [12:12] hahaha jk [12:12] lol [12:12] yeah this is a real bummer... [12:12] i have a few more bugs but this one is the most annoying ;\ [12:13] is it possible to downgrade back to lucid without losing my files? [12:13] I suggest downgrade only by fresh installation [12:13] yeah..... [12:13] as far as I'm aware, downgrading isn't supported...I'd back up the files & install freash [12:13] fresh* [12:14] i figured that and was hoping by a long shot maybe i was wrong hahaha [12:14] my friend took his external hdd back so now i'm stuck i think. [12:14] copy your ~/ to safe and reinstall [12:14] ~/ ? [12:14] home folder? [12:14] yeah [12:14] gotcha [12:14] there no place like ~ or 127.0.0.1 ;) [12:15] hahaha, forreal... [12:15] is there perhaps a xorg irc channel? ;S [12:16] i went to opengl but apparently it's only for app developers and one of the guys there was a jerkface. [12:16] :D [12:16] hahahahaha [12:17] lol @ jerkface...that's what my gf calls me :-P [12:17] hahaha nice [12:18] yeah i'm trying not to upset any bots with my potty mouth. ;S [12:21] hmmmm... what about a way of reverting maverick back to the way it was when i first installed it without losing files? ;S [15:54] Hello. [16:09] * seidos hears crickets chirping [16:09] Shh, you're talking over the crickets [16:09] =) [16:10] * seidos silences himself [16:49] How can I activate Dolphine filemanager instead of nautilus [16:49] ? [16:51] shahan have you already installed it? [16:52] slidinghorn: not yet [16:53] hi shahan [16:53] AbhiJit: hello [16:53] I am interested to set Dolphine as my filemanager [16:53] 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 [16:54] AbhiJit: ok.. tnx [16:55] shahan: take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager [16:55] komputes, i am having some problem with gpg decryption [16:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/518124/ [16:55] komputes, ^ [16:57] slidinghorn: I want to use Dolphine... [16:57] shahan: that link tells you how to do it [16:57] shahan: what is dolphine? [16:58] slidinghorn: its a File Manager like Nautilus [16:58] slidinghorn, its a file manager in kubuntu [16:58] genupulas: that's what I thought but the "e" at the end was confusing me [16:59] slidinghorn: its not the Dolphine ... its Thunar [16:59] shahan, thunar [16:59] shahan: dolphin is further down [17:00] shahan, thunar means [17:00] shahan: oh i'm sorry, i guess they haven't added the script yet.... [17:00] genupulas: its a file manager [17:01] shahan, ok [17:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/518124/ shahan look this please [17:01] shahan, i working on this form last night [17:02] slidinghorn: Dolphine installed.... [17:02] slidinghorn: its not good..... :( I thought it would be good.... [17:02] genupulas: hmm [17:03] 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] slidinghorn: hmm [17:04] genupulas: sorry!! I also tried on this... but didnt go forward.... [17:04] genupulas: you can ask others.... I am sorry :( [17:05] shahan, choose any one who can help me about this [17:05] genupulas: you can ask Mohan_chml [17:05] Hello, I have been searching the web for a solution to adding a grammar tool to OOO writer - I have not found an easy one. I have installed all sorts of extras such as Java from the software center but I have not found anything under the title of grammar tools for English. [17:07] shahan, i did that ,he is having some personal problem [17:08] genupulas: you can ask him to find out a guy who is able to help you regarding this [17:09] genupulas: just ask your question in the channel -- if anyone has an answer, they'll respond :) [17:09] eastern_gardens: what add-ons did you install, and what didn't work?

[17:30] hi [17:31] Cheri703: How's the project going? [17:31] done for now [17:32] Cool. I'm having great fun with Inkscape. Checked out a branch last night. [17:32] good good [17:33] One thing I think it needs is a splash screen. [17:33] Nothing needs a splash screen. [17:34] +1 aveilleux [17:34] aveilluex, well it's always nice to know it's loading. [17:35] I like to assume things have loaded when they appear :) [17:35] "Loading Inkscape" in the Panel is good enough for me [17:36] okay then, I just like to see some pretty graphics. [17:37] different kettle of fish completely :) [17:38] * seidos throws a pumpkin bomb at hobgoblin and runs [17:38] coward :) [17:39] Cheri703: of course I will mainly be looking at SVG to JPEG conversion. [17:39] well, thanks :) [18:31] Hello. Does anyone have any experience with Cedega? [18:31] ehcah: I have some; not a lot, and not recent [18:32] aveileux: Is it specifically for Gaming? Or, like "wine", can I install a Windows Based Home Design Suite software? [18:33] ehcah: it's used to run a lot of windows programs...check out the appdb [18:33] !appdb | ehcah [18:33] 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 [18:35] 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] ehcah: some apps run better virtually than in wine...just have to find the right way to do it [18:35] ehcah: I do not recommend Cedega. It is proprietary and uses outdated WINE code. [18:36] ehcah: It's basically proprietary WINE. [18:36] slidinghorn: is there any way to modify how wine treats my app? [18:36] aveilleux: It's also $6 a month with no guarantees of working... [18:36] ehcah: That too. [18:37] aveilleux: If wine is running my program. Is there any way to modify wine to run it cleaner? [18:37] ehcah: dont know...try checking out #winehq -- that's the official wine support channel [18:37] slidinghorn: I asked a few times between last night and this morning. No answers... [18:38] ehcah: What version are you running? You could try updating to the dev version [18:38] aveilleux: 1.2.1 [18:39] ehcah: Try updating to 1.3.*, the development version. It might help performance a little. [18:40] Is that a matter of updating my sources.list to a ... nightly-build? [18:41] ehcah: add the PPA, then uninstall wine1.2 and install wine1.3 [18:41] ehcah: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [18:42] aveilleux: Will I have to reinstall all the windows apps I have been using? === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn === yofel_ is now known as yofel [20:48] Hi. I have two questions : how do I get back the top panel under Ubuntu 10.10 ? The wireless used to work on the laptop, but it doesn't even show anymore any network... What can I do ? [20:49] Galeo: You removed your top panel? You can right-click on the bottom panel and click "add panel" to get a new one back [20:49] I got back the panel. [20:50] Galeo: You'll have to re-add all the applets to it though. [23:01] * slidinghorn yawns
