| Langjan | Hi to the boffins. Is there a way to sort out this update glitch? http://slexy.org/view/s2j10QHhI0 | 05:17 |
| Kilos | morning superfly and others though i am sure you are the only one awake | 05:30 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 05:30 |
| * Maaz washes some mugs | 05:30 | |
| superfly | heya Kilos | 05:30 |
| superfly | hi Langjan | 05:30 |
| Kilos | morning Langjan | 05:30 |
| Langjan | Hi Kilos and superfly, are you well? | 05:32 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 05:34 |
| Kilos | Maaz, ty | 05:37 |
| Maaz | Enjoy Kilos | 05:37 |
| Kilos | i fine ty | 05:37 |
| Langjan | This update problem is persevering, any suggestions? http://slexy.org/view/s2j10QHhI0 | 05:46 |
| superfly | Langjan: run "sudo dpkg --configure nvidia-current" | 05:52 |
| superfly | Langjan: can you see where the error is? | 05:55 |
| Langjan | No superfly, I have no idea. This is the outcome of your input: http://slexy.org/view/s2oisgE4xr | 05:57 |
| superfly | Langjan: what can you see in the output of my command? | 05:58 |
| Langjan | Superfly, see http://slexy.org/view/s2oisgE4xr | 05:59 |
| superfly | no Langjan, I'm asking you what YOU can see | 05:59 |
| superfly | Langjan: I'm not going to solve your problem for you, you need to learn | 05:59 |
| Langjan | OK I agree, thanks but I don't understand. What do I see where? | 06:00 |
| superfly | Langjan: look at the output of my command, and see if you can find an error message | 06:01 |
| Langjan | superfly, alternative link /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so is already managed by _gl_conf. | 06:02 |
| superfly | Langjan: yep, that's the error | 06:02 |
| superfly | Langjan: now go back to your update output, and see if you can find that error in there | 06:03 |
| Kilos | oh my. still that one | 06:05 |
| Langjan | superfly, it started here: Setting up nvidia-current (280.04-0~maverickubuntu3) ... | 06:05 |
| superfly | Langjan: yep, that's right... now look at the line just below the error message. what does it say? | 06:06 |
| Langjan | update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so is already managed by _gl_conf. | 06:07 |
| superfly | Langjan: and the line after that | 06:07 |
| Langjan | dpkg: error processing nvidia-current (--configure): | 06:07 |
| superfly | Langjan: yes, that's it. do you see why I told you to run that other command? | 06:08 |
| Langjan | yes I do, thanks this makes sense. Now I must try to see why did it not work? | 06:09 |
| Langjan | update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so is already managed by _gl_conf. | 06:09 |
| superfly | Langjan: well, it told you why it didn't work, that's the error message, but I am thinking that we might be able to force it to run | 06:09 |
| superfly | Langjan: try "sudo dpkg --configure --force-overwrite nvidia-current" | 06:13 |
| Langjan | Same result superfly... | 06:15 |
| superfly | hrm | 06:15 |
| Langjan | update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so is already managed by _gl_conf. | 06:16 |
| Kilos | this is an ugly one hey | 06:18 |
| Langjan | looks like. | 06:18 |
| Langjan | strange thing is everything seems to be working ok | 06:19 |
| Kilos | but i am learning with you two as you go. it will be fixed | 06:19 |
| Kilos | oh | 06:19 |
| superfly | Langjan: yes, it's just nvidia-current, bumblebee and bumblebee-ui that are not configured properly | 06:20 |
| superfly | Langjan: do me a favour, run this command: "ls -l /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.*" | 06:21 |
| Langjan | Ok | 06:21 |
| Kilos | superfly, what would happen if jan purges nvidia-current and then installs it again? | 06:21 |
| Kilos | for my info only | 06:22 |
| superfly | Kilos: I''m not too sure, but if I can avoid the purging, I would rather | 06:22 |
| Kilos | ok ty | 06:22 |
| Langjan | No such file or directory | 06:22 |
| superfly | show me the output? | 06:23 |
| Langjan | ls: cannot access /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia: No such file or directory | 06:23 |
| Langjan | ls: cannot access /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.*: No such file or directory | 06:24 |
| superfly | Langjan: weird | 06:25 |
| Langjan | Thinking maybe I should upgrade to 11.04 but no time for it at present | 06:26 |
| Langjan | update manager says all updates are done... | 06:27 |
| Kilos | maybe it is already configured but through that _gl_conf instead of where dpkg wants to do it | 06:30 |
| Langjan | Tried to reinstall packages: E: nvidia-current: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 | 06:30 |
| Langjan | E: bumblebee: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 06:30 |
| Langjan | E: bumblebee-ui: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 06:30 |
| Kilos | Langjan, is there a reason you use bumblebee | 06:32 |
| Kilos | is there nothing in the repos that will work instead | 06:33 |
| Langjan | My virtualbox seems to be dependent on it | 06:34 |
| Kilos | what virtual box software are you using | 06:34 |
| Kilos | not the virtualbox in synaptic | 06:35 |
| Langjan | virtualbox OSE | 06:35 |
| Kilos | this is out of my league so dont listen to me , i am just trying to figure out why it gives probs every update with bumblebee | 06:35 |
| Langjan | Yes Kilos it was installed via Ubuntu software mgr | 06:37 |
| Kilos | and bumblebee? | 06:37 |
| Kilos | i dont see it anywhere | 06:37 |
| Langjan | 0.9-1~maverickubuntu6 (bumblebee-ui) | 06:39 |
| Langjan | Kilos, if you search bumblebee on software centre it will show | 06:39 |
| Kilos | oh. i only use synaptic. software centre is way too slow here | 06:40 |
| Kilos | does it show in your synaptic | 06:40 |
| Langjan | superfly, lets leave it for the moment, everything seems to be working fine. | 06:41 |
| Langjan | Yes Kilos it does | 06:41 |
| Kilos | try in synaptic then to reinstall it and nvidia- | 06:42 |
| Langjan | I did, no luck | 06:42 |
| Kilos | eish | 06:42 |
| Langjan | OK, am going to love and leave you for now, enjoy a blessed day | 06:43 |
| Kilos | you too Langjan | 06:43 |
| Langjan | thanks kilos | 06:43 |
| Kilos | sorry superfly i wasnt trying to take over from you. but getting info for me | 07:20 |
| marcog | tumbleweed: can you send reminders about the global jam to the mailing list and fb event? | 07:46 |

| Kilos | oh , actually clever guys dont use windows | 10:45 |
| packetboy | huh? | 10:46 |
| Kilos | lol | 10:46 |
| Kilos | i gave it up coupla years ago because of virusses and lost programs and lotsa srtupid things | 10:47 |
| Kilos | like not seeing the cdrom at times | 10:47 |
| packetboy | how did you get a virus? | 10:47 |
| Kilos | with music one of the times | 10:48 |
| packetboy | did you play whack-a-mole? | 10:48 |
| Kilos | and in mails other times | 10:48 |
| Kilos | huh? | 10:48 |
| Kilos | gotta run. be back a bit later | 10:49 |
| Kilos | hiya nlsthzn | 15:46 |
| Kilos | you well? | 15:47 |
| nlsthzn | Hey Uncle Kilos :) Weather a bit better in SA on this Spring day? | 15:47 |
| Kilos | lol. yeah it be very kiff to have sun that actually warms you | 15:47 |
| nlsthzn | Oh, I could complain... But it would be unfair in the bigger scheme of things... | 15:47 |
| Kilos | hehe | 15:48 |
| Kilos | google what is the ubuntu maverick file manager | 15:51 |
| Kilos | eish | 15:52 |
| Kilos | ek sukkel partykeer | 15:52 |
| nuvolari | Kilos: dis nautilus oom | 15:52 |
| nuvolari | :P naughtylust *cough* | 15:53 |
| Kilos | Clol its audacity hey? | 15:53 |
| nlsthzn | sorry... @ work so I am up and down from infront of the PC... lol @ nuvolari | 15:53 |
| Kilos | oh my | 15:53 |
| nuvolari | Kilos: audacity is an audio editor | 15:53 |
| nuvolari | lo nlsthzn | 15:53 |
| nuvolari | ok, I'm off | 15:54 |
| nuvolari | cheerz | 15:54 |
| nlsthzn | nuvolari: bai | 15:54 |
| Kilos | what is audacity for? | 15:54 |
| Kilos | aw dankie nuvolari | 15:54 |
| Kilos | mooi loop | 15:54 |
| nlsthzn | it is a application used to work with sound files... | 15:56 |
| nlsthzn | editing them etc. | 15:56 |
| Kilos | lol. i get mixed up with all the funny names | 15:57 |
| nlsthzn | :) | 15:57 |
| Kilos | hard work to edit music methinks | 15:57 |
| nlsthzn | As hard as most things in life that are hard before they become easy... | 15:58 |
| Kilos | hehe | 15:58 |
| nlsthzn | Also, in most applications you can check in help/about what the name is and version etc... | 16:00 |
| Kilos | didnt even think of that nlsthzn trying to find why things are opening slow here | 16:01 |
| Kilos | since the power cuts and the grub recovery giving up the ghost | 16:02 |
| Kilos | i read that fsck and tried from cd but not sure of what all to put in the command and it kept asking "is it mounted" | 16:03 |
| Kilos | so i getting closer to a clean install | 16:03 |
| Kilos | i even install xubuntu onna small drive today to check it out | 16:04 |
| nlsthzn | Cool... Xubuntu is pretty good... however, if Ubuntu ran OK before, then there is another issue, which is either something to do with what is installed now or a problem with the hardware... if it is hardware related then installing another distro isn't going to help... | 16:07 |
| nlsthzn | BTW, if there is a way for me to download all the required repo's etc. and burn them to DVD I will be happy to do this periodically and send disc's to SA to help where bandwidth is an issue... | 16:08 |
| Kilos | i prefer ubuntu. dont like the close minimise buttons on the right like windows | 16:08 |
| Kilos | Maaz, google where to download ubuntu repos | 16:09 |
| Maaz | Kilos: "Repositories/Ubuntu - Community Ubuntu Documentation" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu :: "Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search" http://packages.ubuntu.com/ :: "AptGet/Offline/Repository - Community Ubuntu Documentation" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository :: "Medibuntu - Community Ubuntu Documentation" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu :: "Off-line custom repository [Archive] - Ubu | 16:09 |
| Kilos | but they too big nlsthzn . like 20g i think | 16:10 |
| Kilos | just send dates | 16:12 |
| Kilos | but not with ahab chicks | 16:12 |
| Kilos | those you chew on | 16:13 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 16:14 |
| * Maaz starts grinding coffee | 16:14 | |
| nlsthzn | :) 20GB sounds like 5 or 6 DVD's... easy as pie... as long as there is an easy way to do it :p You like dates Mr. Kilos? | 16:16 |
| Kilos | hehe i dont remember | 16:16 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 16:18 |
