[00:38] <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?
[00:39] <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...
[00:40] <LukasB> application is filezilla 3.3.5.1
[00:42] <seidos> did you install filezilla through synpatic?
[00:43] <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...
[00:44] <seidos> ah, so you want a different version than is currently available in the repositories?
[00:46] <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...
[00:47] <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
[00:48] <LukasB> compile?
[00:49] <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
[00:50] <seidos> they only way i can think that would work is ./configure make and make install
[00:51] <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 :)
[00:52] <LukasB> so it says I have to execute ./autogen.sh first, if i dont have a source distribution... how do i know?
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <seidos> never executed an autogen.sh
[00:54] <seidos> try it without it, see what happens i guess
[00:55] <seidos> compiling isn't easy though, dependencies can be a problem.
[00:55] <seidos> hmmm, this is more of a development question
[00:57] <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
[00:58] <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?
[00:59] <seidos> just ./autogen.sh should do it
[01:00] <LukasB> "No such file or directory"
[01:01] <seidos> screen shot :)
[01:01] <LukasB> for you?
[01:01] <seidos> no, for you
[01:02] <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
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <seidos> it's not your fault, computers are confusing ;)
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <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
[01:10] <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 :)
[01:11] <seidos> was is the problem, anyway?
[01:12] <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...
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <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
[01:17] <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"
[01:18] <LukasB> running your command now...
[01:18] <seidos> what version ubuntu?
[01:20] <LukasB> Ubuntu 10.10
[01:20] <LukasB> the Maverick Meerkat :):):):) :D
[01:21] <LukasB> :D just checked translation...
[01:22] <LukasB> so yeah I executed your command and it finished
[01:23] <LukasB> apt-get install gftp
[01:36] <LukasB> Does anybody know, where to find the package manager>
[01:37] <seidos> system > preferences > synaptic package manager maybe what you're looking for
[01:38] <LukasB> thank you i found it
[02:14] <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...
[02:15] <LukasB> seidos: Okay Im off for now... THank you for your help!
[11:07]  * 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
[11:08] <xAndromeda> and its stuck on the middle clock step
[11:29] <evilduanedesign> hello xAndromeda
[11:38] <evilduanedesign> xAndromeda: you can try this command in a Terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets
[13:22] <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.
[13:25] <bioterror> there's two ways
[13:25] <bioterror> or actually three
[13:25] <bioterror> you can compile it yourself from kernel.org
[13:26] <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
[14:07] <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?
[14:08] <bioterror> keep them in same same version?
[14:09] <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
[15:27]  * 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
[15:28] <xAndromeda> dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets
[16:01] <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 ?
[16:02] <raju> .deb
[16:03] <KinkyPinkie> any reason why?
[16:03] <raju> for tar u need to configuration and  make process
[16:03] <raju> .deb is click-install process
[16:04] <raju> for tar u need to do configuration and  make process
[16:16] <KinkyPinkie> ok, thanks :)
[16:18] <raju> KinkyPinkie: welcome :s
[16:34] <duanedesign> xAndromeda: what do you get from the command: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
[16:38] <duanedesign> xAndromeda: what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[16:48] <xAndromeda> on demand atm
[16:48] <xAndromeda> urnning 10.10
[16:49] <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%
[16:50] <xAndromeda> and it still was using 1.6GHz instead of the1.2 setting. 2.1 is max
[16:52] <duanedesign> xAndromeda: ok that command should return all your options
[16:52] <duanedesign> so for example i get: conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance
[16:53] <xAndromeda> ?
[16:53] <xAndromeda> oh k
[16:53] <xAndromeda> it changese when i change the setting on the appplet
[16:55] <duanedesign> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
[16:55] <duanedesign> that should show the current mode^
[16:57] <xAndromeda> both show powersave atm
[16:57] <duanedesign> xAndromeda: have you added any boot options recently like  noapci or acpi=off
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <xAndromeda> oh i did edit a file for my wifi though
[17:01] <xAndromeda> it was a boot up thingy
[17:03] <xAndromeda> brb reboot
[17:31] <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
[17:51] <serfus> you guys might know how do i check my video card driver?  i mean, what is currently running
[17:51] <serfus> lspci gives me only the device, not it's driver
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <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
[20:19] <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
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <bioterror> if you have a kernel-ppa repo installed, you should see something else after update
[20:22] <bioterror> I think so
[20:25] <bioterror> hmmm
[20:25] <bioterror> linux-image-2.6.38-7-generic
[20:26] <bioterror> that's what I found now
[20:27] <bioterror> is that new enough?
[20:35] <Martiini> bioterror, aptitude search "?installed?not(?origin(ppa))" | grep linux  ... what I was looking for
[20:37] <Martiini> no .. this is still incorrect
[20:38] <bioterror> that's same command as: dpkg -l |grep linux-image
