[05:24] <EhsanSanayei> Hi does anyone know how can I add a keyboard input layout using terminal?Im Using ubuntu 11.04
[05:39] <EhsanSanayei> Hi guys does anyone know how can i add a keyboard layout (language) using terminal?Im using ubuntu natty
[11:35] <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
[11:36] <elks294> also source code is availiable but how to install this
[11:40] <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.
[11:41] <geirha> Also, are you sure this software is not already available through Ubuntu's repositories?
[11:42] <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
[11:46] <geirha> Sounds like an executable that'll install the software.
[11:47] <elks294> i must be missing the program which handles these files
[11:47] <geirha> What happens if you double-click it?
[11:48] <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
[11:49] <geirha> What does the "Type:" field say?
[11:49] <elks294> give me a minute
[11:50] <elks294> ok it says shell script
[11:52] <geirha> Go to the permissions tab and make the file executable. Then you should be able to run it when you double click it.
[11:53] <elks294> ah okay
[11:59] <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
[12:04] <elks294> ok nevermind i can figure this out
[12:06] <elks294> Amarok is in the respitory's but i need to install it from a flash drive is this possible
[12:18] <geirha> elks294: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline
[12:19] <geirha> This one should be the quick and easy option. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript
[12:20] <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...
[12:24] <elks294> i only have access to online windows machine right now
[12:26] <geirha> Yeah, see the last link. It has instructions for windows too
[12:30] <elks294> oh my mistake
[13:00] <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
[13:01] <ApOgEE> download all *.deb files listed. and install them
[13:04] <elks294> ok i see over 20 files
[13:04] <elks294> these are all needed for amarok?
[13:06] <ApOgEE> elks294: yes
[13:06] <ApOgEE> that is the dependencies
[13:07] <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
[13:08] <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
[13:09] <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
[13:47] <elks294> i need the mp3 codec, i have downloaded natty but it said not suitable when i tried to install
[13:53] <elks294> opps
[13:55] <Chatter364> What does "no change rebuild for dbus-glib update" mean?
[13:56] <Chatter364> in Update Manager
[13:59] <elks294> which plugin do i need for amorak to play mp3's
[14:03] <debd> hello
[14:04] <Chatter364> hi
[14:05] <debd> I want to contribute to the community ubu docs. how shoud i start?
[14:15] <Chatter364> Is Maverick faster than Lucid?
[14:25] <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.
[14:27] <Chatter364> I just used the software center on ubuntu
[14:27] <Chatter364> not sure how to do it through windows
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <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
[14:30] <Chatter364> thanks :P
[14:30] <elks294> maybe i ought to wait for wifi
[14:31] <holstein> http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/i386/gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3/download
[14:34] <ApOgEE> elks294: go to http://apt-web.dahsy.at/ and type 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[14:34] <ApOgEE> download and install
[14:37] <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
[14:39] <elks294> Oh thanks!:)
[14:40] <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
[14:41] <holstein> ApOgEE: thats handy, i did see that in the scroll back, or i would have said to use that :)
[14:42] <ApOgEE> ;)
[14:42] <holstein> didnt* ^
[14:43] <elks294> Wrong architecture :( i386
[14:44] <ApOgEE> elks294: which architecture are u using?
[14:44] <elks294> 64bit
[14:45] <ApOgEE> hmm...
[14:45] <elks294> ubuntu 11.04 64bit
[14:45] <ApOgEE> if it's not amd64, then it's not there I think
[14:46] <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
[14:49] <ApOgEE> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=natty&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=streamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <ApOgEE> seems the only 64bit is amd64
[14:54] <elks294> so am i running a os designed for amd proccesor?
[14:55] <elks294> neither download wants to install i386 or amd64
[14:56] <holstein> elks294: open a terminal and run uname -m
[14:57] <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.
[14:58] <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*
[14:59] <elks294> oh thanks
[14:59] <ApOgEE> yes, follow holstein ... i'm going out for dinner
[14:59] <ApOgEE> ;)
[14:59] <holstein> ApOgEE: o/ :)
[15:05] <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...
[15:06] <elks294> ok
[15:06] <elks294> makes sense
[15:06] <holstein> elks294: maybe ;)
[15:11] <rebelldoR> i wanna study about python programming

[18:12] <aje__> Holstein: I running skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.25-1_amd64.deb. the program open for =/- 10 sec and then shutdown!
[18:13] <holstein> aje__: i would say, check and make sure you have all available updates, then try reinstalling skpe, then try forcing an older or newer version of skype
[18:14] <holstein> either way, the bug from that post seems relevant https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/646862
[18:14] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 646862 in ia32-libs "skype crashes after signing in" [High,Fix released]
[18:14] <aje__> Holstein: thanks I try that, how do I force a old version?
[18:15] <holstein> aje__: you can search in synaptic (package manager)
[18:18] <aje__> Holstein: What's very funny for me is that one day it was work and the next day I login it crashed!
[18:19] <holstein> aje__: try and keep up with the skype bugs in lauchpad
[18:19] <holstein> theres really not much that can be done though, since its not open
[18:19] <aje__> Holstein: downgraded to Skype beta 2.1 and working Now! thanks....
