| LukasB | Hello everybody! I am coming from WIndows and would like to update a particular application in ubuntu my first time. Can anybody guide me through please? | 00:38 |
|---|---|---|
| LukasB | It downloaded the source code as I was told already, but now i am not sure, what to do with it. Got some install instructions, but I dont know if it is the same for a simple update... | 00:39 |
| LukasB | application is filezilla 3.3.5.1 | 00:40 |
| seidos | did you install filezilla through synpatic? | 00:42 |
| LukasB | Filezilla was the first application I installed, so I just went to its website and downloaded the version for linux. After I realised, there was a Ubuntu Software Centre, I opened it and put filezilla in the search bar, where I found Filezilla and clicked install... | 00:43 |
| seidos | ah, so you want a different version than is currently available in the repositories? | 00:44 |
| LukasB | Its a bit funny, because it is only two days ago and it downloaded 3.3.3. Now I have trouble with filezilla and I checked if there was an update and I detected 3.3.5.1. No idea why it didn't download it in the first place... but i hope it solves my problem... | 00:46 |
| LukasB | So when I go to filezilla, I go to the menu bar and 'check for updates' and it tells me there is 3.3.5.1 and i should download the source code from their website... I did that and received a folder... I not to sure what to do with it... | 00:47 |
| seidos | you'll have to download the source and compile it | 00:47 |
| LukasB | compile? | 00:48 |
| LukasB | the words my dictionary puts out seem to be out of context... I dont know what that is ;) | 00:49 |
| seidos | yeah, if you downloaded the source | 00:49 |
| seidos | there should be a readme or something in the directory that has the source code | 00:49 |
| seidos | they only way i can think that would work is ./configure make and make install | 00:50 |
| LukasB | ah yeah it comes with an install file and has instructions in it... | 00:51 |
| seidos | oh, was i right then? | 00:51 |
| LukasB | yeah thank you :) | 00:51 |
| seidos | hopefully it fixes your problem. otherwise you could try gftp :) | 00:51 |
| LukasB | so it says I have to execute ./autogen.sh first, if i dont have a source distribution... how do i know? | 00:52 |
| LukasB | maybe I just put it in and see what happens... it says it is not 'necessary' but it doesnt say i must not do it | 00:53 |
| seidos | never executed an autogen.sh | 00:54 |
| seidos | try it without it, see what happens i guess | 00:54 |
| seidos | compiling isn't easy though, dependencies can be a problem. | 00:55 |
| seidos | hmmm, this is more of a development question | 00:55 |
| seidos | filezilla has there own channel. you can ask about compiling there. are you already hooked up with your ubuntu user group? | 00:57 |
| seidos | that's probably also a good resource | 00:57 |
| LukasB | if I execute ./autogen.sh, do I have to write './autogen.sh' in the terminal or do I have to add a command like 'execute? | 00:58 |
| seidos | just ./autogen.sh should do it | 00:59 |
| LukasB | "No such file or directory" | 01:00 |
| seidos | screen shot :) | 01:01 |
| LukasB | for you? | 01:01 |
| seidos | no, for you | 01:01 |
| LukasB | okay what do I do with it? ;) | 01:02 |
| seidos | well, you may need to set the autogen.sh as executable | 01:02 |
| seidos | sudo chmod +x autoge<tab> should do it | 01:02 |
| LukasB | Okay... a bit further up it says, a few tools need to be installed if I want to compile filezilla 3... I skipped that before, because I was assuming I have them anyway, cause I have 3.3.3... Maybe I check those | 01:04 |
| seidos | you can do sudo apt-get build-dep filezilla | 01:05 |
| seidos | of course, those dependencies may not work | 01:05 |
| seidos | i don't know, what's going on?! | 01:05 |
| LukasB | sorry if I confuse you... | 01:05 |
| seidos | i was joking around :P | 01:05 |
| seidos | it's not your fault, computers are confusing ;) | 01:06 |
| LukasB | okay it says for filezilla 3 I need GCC, GNU make, GNU gettext. I thought I must have them already, because I have filezilla 3.3.3. But when I put those in the search bar of my software centre, they are not displayed... Not installed and not for install | 01:07 |
| seidos | we are beyond software centre dude | 01:08 |
| seidos | you are trying to compile something from source | 01:08 |
| seidos | you can run build-dep command that mentioned earlier | 01:08 |
| LukasB | okay I will do that ;) So what is the best way to find out if I have those tools? | 01:09 |
| seidos | best way? i dunno | 01:09 |
| LukasB | put but instead of so | 01:09 |
| seidos | but or so, i still don't know | 01:09 |
| seidos | i guess try to compile | 01:10 |
| seidos | if it fails | 01:10 |
| seidos | search for the dependencies in synaptic | 01:10 |
| seidos | but, build-dep will do that anyway | 01:10 |
| LukasB | okay build-deptis doing something :) | 01:10 |
| seidos | perhaps you should just try gftp :) | 01:10 |
| seidos | was is the problem, anyway? | 01:11 |
| LukasB | I try to change files using filezilla... It says I dont have permisson and denies access... So I asked somebody far away for help, he accessed in filezilla into the same account and he says he can change everything, so I have no idea, what the problem could be... | 01:12 |
| seidos | maybe it's your account | 01:13 |
| LukasB | So this account always worked with filezilla... | 01:13 |
| seidos | change files "how"? | 01:13 |
| LukasB | but we used the same account and it worked for him | 01:13 |
| LukasB | just view, change them and overwrite... but I can't load up new files, too | 01:14 |
| seidos | try gftp | 01:14 |
| seidos | it's easier | 01:14 |
| seidos | sudo apt-get install gftp | 01:14 |
| LukasB | okay, but i quickly tell you what happened: Terminal started installation and put out heaps of information running over my screen so I was happy. No it stopped and it says: "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? E: Failed to process build dependencies" | 01:17 |
| LukasB | running your command now... | 01:18 |
| seidos | what version ubuntu? | 01:18 |
| LukasB | Ubuntu 10.10 | 01:20 |
| LukasB | the Maverick Meerkat :):):):) :D | 01:20 |
| LukasB | :D just checked translation... | 01:21 |
| LukasB | so yeah I executed your command and it finished | 01:22 |
| LukasB | apt-get install gftp | 01:23 |
| LukasB | Does anybody know, where to find the package manager> | 01:36 |
| seidos | system > preferences > synaptic package manager maybe what you're looking for | 01:37 |
| LukasB | thank you i found it | 01:38 |
| LukasB | Thank you seidos... | 02:14 |
| LukasB | I checked Filezilla 3.3.5.1 in Windows, what I should have done earlier and this wont solve my problem... | 02:14 |
| LukasB | seidos: Okay Im off for now... THank you for your help! | 02:15 |

| * xAndromeda pokes head in | 11:07 | |
| xAndromeda | anybody here? O.o | 11:07 |
| xAndromeda | the cpu applet on my pannel | 11:07 |
| xAndromeda | wont let me change my clock speed anymore | 11:07 |
| xAndromeda | and its stuck on the middle clock step | 11:08 |
| evilduanedesign | hello xAndromeda | 11:29 |
| evilduanedesign | xAndromeda: you can try this command in a Terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets | 11:38 |
| tdn | How do I install the latest 2.6.38 kernel in Kubuntu 10.10? I need to check if a specific bug has been fixed. | 13:22 |
| bioterror | there's two ways | 13:25 |
| bioterror | or actually three | 13:25 |
| bioterror | you can compile it yourself from kernel.org | 13:25 |
| bioterror | or you can add kernel team ppa to your ubuntu and install with apt-get, or you can grab just those two files needed from the site and use dpkg | 13:26 |
| bioterror | I dunno what you mean by the latest | 13:26 |
| raubvogel | If I have a bunch of ubuntu boxes, what is the easiest way to keep track of which packages/versions are in each machine and do centralized upgrading? | 14:07 |
| bioterror | keep them in same same version? | 14:08 |
| raubvogel | Well, not necessarily: servers are running LTS and desktops the latest version | 14:09 |
| raubvogel | But it would be nice to choose not to upgrade a given machine as needed | 14:09 |

| * xAndromeda pokes head in again | 15:27 | |
| xAndromeda | the cpu applet on my pannel | 15:27 |
| xAndromeda | wont let me change my clock speed anymore | 15:27 |
| xAndromeda | already did the reconfigure thingy | 15:27 |
| xAndromeda | dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets | 15:28 |
| KinkyPinkie | as a preferable: do I download the deb specified for 64bit or do I download a tar.gz wich is marked as executable with no installation required ? | 16:01 |
| raju | .deb | 16:02 |
| KinkyPinkie | any reason why? | 16:03 |
| raju | for tar u need to configuration and make process | 16:03 |
| raju | .deb is click-install process | 16:03 |
| raju | for tar u need to do configuration and make process | 16:04 |
| KinkyPinkie | ok, thanks :) | 16:16 |
| raju | KinkyPinkie: welcome :s | 16:18 |
| duanedesign | xAndromeda: what do you get from the command: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors | 16:34 |
| duanedesign | xAndromeda: what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 16:38 |
| xAndromeda | on demand atm | 16:48 |
| xAndromeda | urnning 10.10 | 16:48 |
| xAndromeda | i could change the clocks manually before but now i can only change the modes | 16:49 |
| xAndromeda | and im pretty sure they dont do much | 16:49 |
| xAndromeda | my ocmp was idling on battery on power save moe | 16:49 |
| xAndromeda | and cpu useage under 5% | 16:49 |
| xAndromeda | and it still was using 1.6GHz instead of the1.2 setting. 2.1 is max | 16:50 |
| duanedesign | xAndromeda: ok that command should return all your options | 16:52 |
| duanedesign | so for example i get: conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance | 16:52 |
| xAndromeda | ? | 16:53 |
| xAndromeda | oh k | 16:53 |
| xAndromeda | it changese when i change the setting on the appplet | 16:53 |
| duanedesign | cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor | 16:55 |
| duanedesign | that should show the current mode^ | 16:55 |
| xAndromeda | both show powersave atm | 16:57 |
| duanedesign | xAndromeda: have you added any boot options recently like noapci or acpi=off | 16:57 |
| xAndromeda | no im pretty sure i did not | 16:58 |
| duanedesign | if it says powersave then it did change. | 16:58 |
| duanedesign | it was ondemand earlier | 16:58 |
| duanedesign | oh isee what you are saying | 16:58 |
| xAndromeda | how would i check? | 16:59 |
| duanedesign | cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor | 16:59 |
| duanedesign | is the current mode | 16:59 |
| xAndromeda | yeah | 16:59 |
| xAndromeda | oh i did edit a file for my wifi though | 17:00 |
| xAndromeda | it was a boot up thingy | 17:01 |
| xAndromeda | brb reboot | 17:03 |
| duanedesign | if xAndromeda comes back could someone give him this link. http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ | 17:31 |
| duanedesign | thank you | 17:31 |

| Martiini | how do I search specific repository ?? does this look right - aptitude search '~S ~i (!~Alaunchpad ~O"kernel")' | 20:14 |
| bioterror | what are you after | 20:14 |
| bioterror | https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa ? | 20:15 |
| Martiini | latest kernel in deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ppa/ubuntu lucid main | 20:15 |
| bioterror | apt-cache show linux-image-generic | 20:19 |
| bioterror | should tell you a version | 20:19 |
| bioterror | Filename: pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-image-generic_2.6.35.28.36_i386.deb | 20:19 |
| bioterror | says mine | 20:19 |
| Martiini | Im looking for command that gives specific packages in a repo | 20:21 |
| Martiini | apt-cache show linux-image-generic .. shows currently installed , yess | 20:21 |
| bioterror | if you have a kernel-ppa repo installed, you should see something else after update | 20:22 |
| bioterror | I think so | 20:22 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 20:25 |
| bioterror | linux-image-2.6.38-7-generic | 20:25 |
| bioterror | that's what I found now | 20:26 |
| bioterror | is that new enough? | 20:27 |
| Martiini | bioterror, aptitude search "?installed?not(?origin(ppa))" | grep linux ... what I was looking for | 20:35 |
| Martiini | no .. this is still incorrect | 20:37 |
| bioterror | that's same command as: dpkg -l |grep linux-image | 20:38 |
