[00:12] fatharrahman: chanserv is a bot that is in all freenode channels [00:12] fatharrahman: depending on what client you are using the color difference may mean voice [01:28] hi people [01:28] have a problem with the grep-status [01:28] i think [01:29] asterismo: can you rephrase that? (what's grep-status?) [01:30] i installed something and now every time i write in terminal sudo apt-get remove gwib(tab) the line changes to sudo apt-get remove gwibbgrep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:32500: expected a colon [01:30] . [01:30] the tab completion in terminal is not working [01:30] no, your /var/lib/dpkg/status isn't right, check what's wrong with line 32500 [01:31] mmm [01:32] i got inspired by this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dctrl-tools/+bug/583476 [01:32] Launchpad bug 583476 in dctrl-tools (Ubuntu) "Installing xmind breaks grep-status (affects: 4) (heat: 21)" [Undecided,Invalid] [01:32] but i don't think i installed such thing xmind [01:33] because the terminal issue is the same, so i have to check something in that line? [01:35] yes [01:36] that lines says "Status: install ok installed" [01:36] i got no clue [01:36] asterismo: can you pastebin the relevant section? [01:36] ok [01:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/542523/ [01:40] doesn't make sense, since that's correct.. [01:42] this is trying to remove firefox, this is writing firef(tab) [01:42] sudo apt-get remove firgrep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:32500: expected a colon [01:42] .efox-branding [01:42] fir(tab) sorry [01:43] yeah, apt parses the status file to get the possible completion options, while it does that it prints that error which breaks the completion [01:44] any ideas? reset thing or something like that? [01:45] reinstall "tab completion" sort of thing? [01:45] are you sure that's the right line you found? something like 'cat -n /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep ^\ 32500' should make sure of that [01:46] what command? [01:46] oh yes [01:46] asterismo: that won't help at all, the completion works right, since it *does* complete the efox-branding [01:47] 'cat -n /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep ^\ 32500' [01:47] bash: cat -n /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep ^\ 32500: No such file or directory [01:47] asterismo: without the quotes [01:47] my god [01:47] sry [01:47] lol [01:47] 32500 Status: install ok installed [01:48] good, I'm officially out of ideas :( [01:48] (well, you could restore status-old, but I'm not sure if that won't break something else) [01:49] you know, i just was trying to install some games for my 5-year old kid and installed some physics games within some ubuntu games repository and also tried to indstall PCSX2 emulator for PS2 and i think since then, i have this problem [01:49] and i followed this thread, may be was bad idea [01:49] http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Howto-PCSX2-on-AMD64-Ubuntu [01:49] asterismo: well, shot in the blue: remove libaiksaurus-1.2-data so it removes the failing section [01:50] I mean, purge it [01:50] like sudo apt-get --purge libwhatever [01:50] sudo apt-get purge [01:51] or remove [01:51] remove --purge [01:51] ahh [01:51] ok [01:53] nope [01:53] sudo apt-get remove gwibgrep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:32430: expected a colon [01:53] . [01:54] . . . [01:54] asterismo, I'm reading your problem above and if I understand it, you're having problems completing commands in the Terminal when you press tab. Am I correct? Or was it solved already? [01:55] still [01:55] zeroseven0183: the completion works, but dpkg prints error while calculation the completion options :/ [01:55] *calculating [01:56] i dont know what to do [01:56] asterismo: just curious, what line does it now complain about [01:57] Original-Maintainer: Debian OpenOffice Team [01:57] paste-bining [01:58] that makes as much sense as the first one -.- [01:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/542530/ [02:00] line 8 in pastebin [02:00] asterismo, try reinstalling bash-completion from Synaptics [02:02] and those libs? "libaiksaurus-1.2-data" what is that for? [02:03] done bash-completion [02:03] "an English-language thesaurus (data)" [02:03] do i have to reboot or something? [02:03] asterismo: close your terminal and open a new one [02:05] sudo santiago@hyperion:~$ sudo apt-get remove gwibgrep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:32430: expected a colon [02:05] . [02:05] the same thing [02:05] * yofel goes looking ath the completion function [02:06] asterismo: what does this command print? grep-status -P -e "^gwib" -a -FStatus 'install ok installed' -n -s Package [02:06] grep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:32430: expected a colon [02:12] geh, forget the line number, I just managed to reproduce that error by adding a space at a completely different place than the error told me :S [02:13] (added space in line 19106 and got error about line 19960, very helpful) [02:15] asterismo: still there? [02:15] yes [02:15] bathroom [02:16] good, let's try something (remove trailing spaces if that's a problem somewhere): [02:16] sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.bak [02:16] done [02:17] sudo sed -e 's/^\s$//' /var/lib/dpkg/status.bak > /var/lib/dpkg/status [02:17] then try the grep-status command from above again [02:17] bash: /var/lib/dpkg/status: Permission denied [02:17] ouch, sec [02:18] sudo sh -c "sed -e 's/^\s$//' /var/lib/dpkg/status.bak > /var/lib/dpkg/status" [02:18] done [02:19] different error, same or working? [02:19] now i have to do what? this command? grep-status -P -e "^gwib" -a -FStatus 'install ok installed' -n -s Package [02:19] ?? [02:19] yes [02:19] ok [02:19] grep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:32430: expected a colon [02:20] stupid machine [02:20] lol [02:20] k, delete the status file and move the status.bak back [02:21] done [02:21] probably same issue as in the bug you mentioned then, now we just need to find *which* package has the broken description (from >1000 probably) :/ [02:22] i think maybe is one of the games i tried to install [02:22] from ubuntu games [02:22] asterismo: can you look in at the end of your /var/log/apt/history.log which packages you recently installed [02:22] you're probably right [02:23] let me try to delete those games [02:25] done!!! [02:25] it works!!!! [02:26] i removed globulation, omnitux and memonix [02:26] those are games for kids [02:26] *sigh*, well, you learned something about bash completion and dpkg internals at least.. [02:26] obviously one of them break the thing [02:27] oh man, sorry for that long time helping me, i was suspisious about the games but the issue seems to be completely different, it was that simple i'm sorry i took you so long [02:28] np, I should have blamed the games too first :/ [02:28] hahah [02:28] thanks a lot man [02:28] really apreciate this [02:28] you guys are the best [02:28] !thanks [02:28] You're welcome!

[03:05] djredemption1, you will probably get better quicker help on the ubuntu forums, just due to what your wanting and what is possible === pedro_ is now known as pedro3005 [04:08] Hello all [04:08] I installed KDE desktop on my Maverick Meerkat GNOME [04:09] and yesterday I have removed it through sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop [04:09] but a lot of KDE pro-grammes are still installed on my PC [04:10] shahan, That's because kubuntu-desktop has those as dependencies. Try running sudo apt-get autoremove [04:10] aveilleux, ok [04:11] shahan, The way metapackages like kubuntu-desktop work, is that they're empty packages with a bunch of dependencies. Removing a program with dependencies doesn't remove the dependencies. (Unless you use aptitude instead of apt-get) [04:12] hmm [04:12] so what can I do now? [04:12] aveilleux, http://paste.ubuntu.com/542558/ [04:13] shahan, Hm, strange. [04:14] aveilleux, do u have any more idea?
