| EhsanSanayei | Hi guys does anyone know how can i add a keyboard layout (language) using terminal?Im using ubuntu natty | 05:39 |
| elks294 | i have a program i am trying to install on ubuntu, i downloaded .tar.gz file and SIG file but don't know how to install it | 11:35 |
| elks294 | also source code is availiable but how to install this | 11:36 |
| geirha | There's no standard way for how to "install a .tar.gz file". Extract that archive somewhere and look for a README and/or INSTALL file. They should contain the instructions on how to install this particular software. | 11:40 |
| geirha | Also, are you sure this software is not already available through Ubuntu's repositories? | 11:41 |
| elks294 | this program is trucrypt drive encryption i don't know if its availiable or not | 11:42 |
| elks294 | there is no readme in the .tar.gz file but a setup.x64 file which is foriegn to me | 11:42 |
| geirha | Sounds like an executable that'll install the software. | 11:46 |
| elks294 | i must be missing the program which handles these files | 11:47 |
| geirha | What happens if you double-click it? | 11:47 |
| elks294 | i get a message asking me to choose a porgram to open this file | 11:48 |
| geirha | Ok, then instead, right-click the file and choose properties | 11:48 |
| geirha | What does the "Type:" field say? | 11:49 |
| elks294 | give me a minute | 11:49 |
| elks294 | ok it says shell script | 11:50 |
| geirha | Go to the permissions tab and make the file executable. Then you should be able to run it when you double click it. | 11:52 |
| elks294 | ah okay | 11:53 |
| elks294 | im trying to play mp3 file but it's asking for a suitable plugin, can i download and install the plugin onto a flash drive from another system, i dont have a working network card yet | 11:59 |
| elks294 | or is there a mp3 player program i should download to handle mp3 files it is useing movie player | 11:59 |
| elks294 | ok nevermind i can figure this out | 12:04 |
| elks294 | Amarok is in the respitory's but i need to install it from a flash drive is this possible | 12:06 |
| geirha | elks294: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline | 12:18 |
| geirha | This one should be the quick and easy option. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript | 12:19 |
| geirha | i.e. open synaptic, select the desired packages for installation, then generate a package download script. Copy the package downloadscript to a usb stick, run it on an online computer, copy back to the offline computer... | 12:20 |
| elks294 | i only have access to online windows machine right now | 12:24 |
| geirha | Yeah, see the last link. It has instructions for windows too | 12:26 |
| elks294 | oh my mistake | 12:30 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: another easy way is go to this site --> http://apt-web.dahsy.at/ | 13:00 |
| ApOgEE | select your base distribution | 13:00 |
| ApOgEE | type amarok | 13:00 |
| ApOgEE | then submit | 13:00 |
| ApOgEE | download all *.deb files listed. and install them | 13:01 |
| elks294 | ok i see over 20 files | 13:04 |
| elks294 | these are all needed for amarok? | 13:04 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: yes | 13:06 |
| ApOgEE | that is the dependencies | 13:06 |
| elks294 | how do i install these from a flash drive on ubuntu | 13:07 |
| ApOgEE | also, please note that you have to install it one by one following the list from top to bottom | 13:07 |
| ApOgEE | the amarok*.deb should be last package to install | 13:08 |
| geirha | You can tell synaptic to look for deb-packages on your flash drive, then install. | 13:08 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: just download all of them, save to your flash drive | 13:08 |
| geirha | Or you can run sudo dpkg -i *.deb in a terminal. | 13:09 |
| ApOgEE | plug it to your ubuntu, and double click the .deb file will install it | 13:09 |
| elks294 | i need the mp3 codec, i have downloaded natty but it said not suitable when i tried to install | 13:47 |
| elks294 | opps | 13:53 |

| Chatter364 | in Update Manager | 13:56 |

| debd | hello | 14:03 |
| Chatter364 | hi | 14:04 |
| debd | I want to contribute to the community ubu docs. how shoud i start? | 14:05 |
| Chatter364 | Is Maverick faster than Lucid? | 14:15 |
| elks294 | can anyone help me with finding and downloading a suitable mp3 codec for ubuntu, i need to download and save the codec to a flash drive through windows because I don't have internet on my ubuntu PC yet. | 14:25 |
| Chatter364 | I just used the software center on ubuntu | 14:27 |
| Chatter364 | not sure how to do it through windows | 14:27 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: which ubuntu are u using? | 14:28 |
| holstein | elks294: check out http://www.fluendo.com/shop/product/fluendo-mp3-decoder/ | 14:28 |
| Chatter364 | I've never done updates through windows | 14:28 |
| elks294 | 11.04 | 14:28 |
| holstein | im not sure what all dependancies you need though http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3/download | 14:29 |
| holstein | oops... dapper ;0 | 14:29 |
| Chatter364 | thanks :P | 14:30 |
| elks294 | maybe i ought to wait for wifi | 14:30 |
| holstein | http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/i386/gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3/download | 14:31 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: go to http://apt-web.dahsy.at/ and type 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' | 14:34 |
| ApOgEE | download and install | 14:34 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: it is also recommended that you install 'gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3' | 14:37 |
| ApOgEE | just do the same... go to the site, type 'gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3', download all packages and install | 14:37 |
| elks294 | Oh thanks!:) | 14:39 |
| elks294 | please post the site again | 14:40 |
| ApOgEE | ;) | 14:40 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: go to http://apt-web.dahsy.at/ | 14:40 |
| ApOgEE | like u did for the amarok | 14:40 |
| holstein | ApOgEE: thats handy, i did see that in the scroll back, or i would have said to use that :) | 14:41 |
| ApOgEE | ;) | 14:42 |
| holstein | didnt* ^ | 14:42 |
| elks294 | Wrong architecture :( i386 | 14:43 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: which architecture are u using? | 14:44 |
| elks294 | 64bit | 14:44 |
| ApOgEE | hmm... | 14:45 |
| elks294 | ubuntu 11.04 64bit | 14:45 |
| ApOgEE | if it's not amd64, then it's not there I think | 14:45 |
| ApOgEE | but the package name should be the same | 14:46 |
| ApOgEE | just have to find the 64bit version | 14:46 |
| ApOgEE | I think | 14:46 |
| elks294 | i might be using amd64 but i have a intel | 14:46 |
| elks294 | can i check | 14:46 |
| ApOgEE | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=natty§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=streamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 | 14:49 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: I think you should use that amd64 | 14:53 |
| ApOgEE | http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ | 14:53 |
| ApOgEE | which version are u using? from here --> http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ | 14:53 |
| elks294 | .deb is not satisfiable | 14:53 |
| ApOgEE | seems the only 64bit is amd64 | 14:54 |
| elks294 | so am i running a os designed for amd proccesor? | 14:54 |
| elks294 | neither download wants to install i386 or amd64 | 14:55 |
| holstein | elks294: open a terminal and run uname -m | 14:56 |
| elks294 | x86_64 | 14:57 |
| Pici | amd64 is just the name of the specification that both AMD and Intel 64 bith processors use | 14:57 |
| Pici | both* | 14:57 |
| Pici | Unless of course you're running an older Itanium, but you probably aren't. | 14:57 |
| elks294 | x86_64 what does this tell anyone | 14:58 |
| ApOgEE | elks294: perhaps, your download isn't completed | 14:58 |
| Pici | elks294: It tells me that you're running the 64bit version of Ubuntu. | 14:58 |
| ApOgEE | x86_64 is 64 bit | 14:58 |
| holstein | elks294: back at this link http://apt-web.dahsy.at/ theres an 11.04 amd64 category* | 14:58 |
| elks294 | oh thanks | 14:59 |
| ApOgEE | yes, follow holstein ... i'm going out for dinner | 14:59 |
| ApOgEE | ;) | 14:59 |
| holstein | ApOgEE: o/ :) | 14:59 |
| elks294 | ok i downloaded and installed gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 but i opened a mp3 and i got sound for a second but then asked me to search for a suitable codec and playback stopped | 15:05 |
| elks294 | any ideas | 15:05 |
| holstein | sure, its not an mp3, the player is not utilizing the coded, you need to log out and back in... | 15:05 |
| elks294 | ok | 15:06 |
| elks294 | makes sense | 15:06 |
| holstein | elks294: maybe ;) | 15:06 |
