[00:38] 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] 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] application is filezilla 3.3.5.1 [00:42] did you install filezilla through synpatic? [00:43] 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] ah, so you want a different version than is currently available in the repositories? [00:46] 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] 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] you'll have to download the source and compile it [00:48] compile? [00:49] the words my dictionary puts out seem to be out of context... I dont know what that is ;) [00:49] yeah, if you downloaded the source [00:49] there should be a readme or something in the directory that has the source code [00:50] they only way i can think that would work is ./configure make and make install [00:51] ah yeah it comes with an install file and has instructions in it... [00:51] oh, was i right then? [00:51] yeah thank you :) [00:51] hopefully it fixes your problem. otherwise you could try gftp :) [00:52] so it says I have to execute ./autogen.sh first, if i dont have a source distribution... how do i know? [00:53] 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] never executed an autogen.sh [00:54] try it without it, see what happens i guess [00:55] compiling isn't easy though, dependencies can be a problem. [00:55] hmmm, this is more of a development question [00:57] filezilla has there own channel. you can ask about compiling there. are you already hooked up with your ubuntu user group? [00:57] that's probably also a good resource [00:58] 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] just ./autogen.sh should do it [01:00] "No such file or directory" [01:01] screen shot :) [01:01] for you? [01:01] no, for you [01:02] okay what do I do with it? ;) [01:02] well, you may need to set the autogen.sh as executable [01:02] sudo chmod +x autoge should do it [01:04] 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] you can do sudo apt-get build-dep filezilla [01:05] of course, those dependencies may not work [01:05] i don't know, what's going on?! [01:05] sorry if I confuse you... [01:05] i was joking around :P [01:06] it's not your fault, computers are confusing ;) [01:07] 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] we are beyond software centre dude [01:08] you are trying to compile something from source [01:08] you can run build-dep command that mentioned earlier [01:09] okay I will do that ;) So what is the best way to find out if I have those tools? [01:09] best way? i dunno [01:09] put but instead of so [01:09] but or so, i still don't know [01:10] i guess try to compile [01:10] if it fails [01:10] search for the dependencies in synaptic [01:10] but, build-dep will do that anyway [01:10] okay build-deptis doing something :) [01:10] perhaps you should just try gftp :) [01:11] was is the problem, anyway? [01:12] 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] maybe it's your account [01:13] So this account always worked with filezilla... [01:13] change files "how"? [01:13] but we used the same account and it worked for him [01:14] just view, change them and overwrite... but I can't load up new files, too [01:14] try gftp [01:14] it's easier [01:14] sudo apt-get install gftp [01:17] 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] running your command now... [01:18] what version ubuntu? [01:20] Ubuntu 10.10 [01:20] the Maverick Meerkat :):):):) :D [01:21] :D just checked translation... [01:22] so yeah I executed your command and it finished [01:23] apt-get install gftp [01:36] Does anybody know, where to find the package manager> [01:37] system > preferences > synaptic package manager maybe what you're looking for [01:38] thank you i found it [02:14] Thank you seidos... [02:14] I checked Filezilla 3.3.5.1 in Windows, what I should have done earlier and this wont solve my problem... [02:15] seidos: Okay Im off for now...

O.o [11:07] the cpu applet on my pannel [11:07] wont let me change my clock speed anymore [11:08] and its stuck on the middle clock step [11:29] hello xAndromeda [11:38] xAndromeda: you can try this command in a Terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets [13:22] 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] there's two ways [13:25] or actually three [13:25] you can compile it yourself from kernel.org [13:26] 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] I dunno what you mean by the latest [14:07] 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] keep them in same same version? [14:09] Well, not necessarily: servers are running LTS and desktops the latest version [14:09] But it would be nice to choose not to upgrade a given machine as needed === yofel_ is now known as yofel [15:27] * xAndromeda pokes head in again [15:27] the cpu applet on my pannel [15:27] wont let me change my clock speed anymore [15:27] already did the reconfigure thingy [15:28] dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets [16:01] 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] .deb [16:03] any reason why? [16:03] for tar u need to configuration and make process [16:03] .deb is click-install process [16:04] for tar u need to do configuration and make process [16:16] ok, thanks :) [16:18] KinkyPinkie: welcome :s [16:34] xAndromeda: what do you get from the command: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors [16:38] xAndromeda: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [16:48] on demand atm [16:48] urnning 10.10 [16:49] i could change the clocks manually before but now i can only change the modes [16:49] and im pretty sure they dont do much [16:49] my ocmp was idling on battery on power save moe [16:49] and cpu useage under 5% [16:50] and it still was using 1.6GHz instead of the1.2 setting. 2.1 is max [16:52] xAndromeda: ok that command should return all your options [16:52] so for example i get: conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance [16:53] ? [16:53] oh k [16:53] it changese when i change the setting on the appplet [16:55] cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [16:55] that should show the current mode^ [16:57] both show powersave atm [16:57] xAndromeda: have you added any boot options recently like noapci or acpi=off [16:58] no im pretty sure i did not [16:58] if it says powersave then it did change. [16:58] it was ondemand earlier [16:58] oh isee what you are saying [16:59] how would i check? [16:59] cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [16:59] is the current mode [16:59] yeah [17:00] oh i did edit a file for my wifi though [17:01] it was a boot up thingy [17:03] brb reboot [17:31] if xAndromeda comes back could someone give him this link. http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ [17:31] thank you [17:51] you guys might know how do i check my video card driver? i mean, what is currently running === KinkyPinkie is now known as sherlockHolmes === sherlockHolmes is now known as KinkyPinkie [17:51] lspci gives me only the device, not it's driver === szczur is now known as YO === YO is now known as YO__ [20:14] how do I search specific repository ?? does this look right - aptitude search '~S ~i (!~Alaunchpad ~O"kernel")' [20:14] what are you after [20:15] https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa ? [20:15] latest kernel in deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ppa/ubuntu lucid main [20:19] apt-cache show linux-image-generic [20:19] should tell you a version [20:19] Filename: pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-image-generic_2.6.35.28.36_i386.deb [20:19] says mine [20:21] Im looking for command that gives specific packages in a repo [20:21] apt-cache show linux-image-generic .. shows currently installed , yess [20:22] if you have a kernel-ppa repo installed, you should see something else after update [20:22] I think so [20:25] hmmm [20:25] linux-image-2.6.38-7-generic [20:26] that's what I found now [20:27] is that new enough? [20:35] bioterror, aptitude search "?installed?not(?origin(ppa))" | grep linux ... what I was looking for [20:37] no .. this is still incorrect [20:38] that's same command as: dpkg -l |grep linux-image === bgs101 is now known as bgs100
