| n00b43v3r | Hello, I'm learning javascript and I'd like to know a good irc channel for beginner developers. Any suggestions? | 00:23 |
|---|---|---|
| seidos | thinking... | 00:30 |
| seidos | i guess #ubuntu-beginners-dev | 00:31 |
| seidos | or #ubuntu-beginners-team n00b43v3r | 00:32 |
| seidos | but i don't know if any of them know javascript | 00:32 |
| seidos | n00b43v3r: i assume you tried ##javascript | 00:32 |
| n00b43v3r | thank you. I'm trying that now. | 00:32 |
| seidos | n00b43v3r: honestly, if you really want to get something done, my best advice is probably to see if you can make friends with someone at a hackerspace. the only 2 i know of are noisebridge in san francisco and crash space in culver city | 00:33 |
| n00b43v3r | My problem isn't specific to javascript, in fact, I'd like to be able to talk to GNUCHESS in no matter what computer language. | 00:34 |
| n00b43v3r | I've been looking their webpage, but can't find info on the program's interface. | 00:34 |
| |GoLTaR| | hello, i need some help | 00:42 |
| |GoLTaR| | i try to extraxt file , but i goot this error :/ /usr/bin/touch: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") | 00:43 |
| geirha | |GoLTaR|: What's the exact command line that produces that error? | 00:43 |
| |GoLTaR| | tar zxvf file.tar.gz | 00:45 |
| geirha | Hm. What does file /usr/bin/touch say? | 00:45 |
| geirha | Though why tar would call /usr/bin/touch is baffling | 00:47 |
| geirha | Is tar an alias or function perhaps? What's the output of type -a tar ? | 00:48 |
| seidos | |GoLTaR|: did you try tar -zxvf file.tar.gz ? | 00:48 |
| |GoLTaR| | i try try tar -xf /full/path/to/file.tar and it work | 00:48 |
| geirha | It's very odd to get an error message about touch when running tar though | 00:57 |
| seidos | does tar usually work without the hyphen? | 00:59 |
| geirha | Yes | 01:03 |
| |GoLTaR| | im trying to make update but i got the same error :/ | 01:03 |
| geirha | make update? | 01:04 |
| geirha | |GoLTaR|: Though, what does type say about tar? type -a tar | 01:05 |
| |GoLTaR| | apt-get update | 01:05 |
| |GoLTaR| | -a tar | 01:05 |
| |GoLTaR| | -a: command not found | 01:05 |
| geirha | |GoLTaR|: "type" is a shell command | 01:05 |
| |GoLTaR| | tar is /bin/tar | 01:05 |
| |GoLTaR| | sorry | 01:05 |
| geirha | |GoLTaR|: Do you get the error after you hit ENTER, or do you see when you try to tab complete? | 01:06 |
| |GoLTaR| | after i hit enter | 01:06 |
| geirha | |GoLTaR|: Hm. And the output of this? file /usr/bin/touch /bin/touch | 01:07 |
| geirha | "file" is a command that tries to determine filetypes | 01:08 |
| |GoLTaR| | /usr/bin/touch: symbolic link to `/bin/touch' | 01:08 |
| |GoLTaR| | /bin/touch: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), corrupted program header size, corrupted section header size | 01:08 |
| geirha | Oh, that doesn't look right. corrupted program header size | 01:09 |
| |GoLTaR| | how can i fix this? :/ | 01:09 |
| geirha | Well, that depends on the magnitude of the problem. If it's only /bin/touch that is affected, reinstalling coreutils may do the trick | 01:11 |
| |GoLTaR| | i need to reinstall the touch ? | 01:12 |
| |GoLTaR| | tar? | 01:13 |
| geirha | Well, all we know is that the touch command is corrupted | 01:15 |
| geirha | Whether this is due to a corrupt filesystem, failing harddrive or a malicious command is hard to know. | 01:17 |
| seidos | not "the" touch, just touch | 01:22 |
| |GoLTaR| | i lost connection :/ | 01:23 |
| seidos | i better go do other things, root lock, and read the touch man page | 01:23 |
| |GoLTaR| | what to reinstall? :/ | 01:24 |
| seidos | |GoLTaR|: you can try sudo apt-get purge coreutils | 01:25 |
| seidos | |GoLTaR|: then sudo apt-get install coreutils | 01:25 |
| geirha | I'd say sudo apt-get --reinstall install coreutils | 01:26 |
| geirha | removing coreutils will likely uninstall a ton of other packages | 01:26 |
| seidos | yeah, didn't work here | 01:28 |
| seidos | i'm off | 01:29 |
| geirha | But again, the issue may not be limited to just the touch command | 01:29 |
| geirha | But its 3:30 am here now. I really have to get to bed. Reinstall coreutils and do a filesystem check. Keep an eye open for similarly odd errors. | 01:31 |
| geirha | Oh and don't indiscriminately copy/paste commands containing sudo from random sites/forums. Figure out what the command does first; you may ask in here for a second opinion. | 01:34 |

| coalwater | i want first creation date | 18:30 |
| Unit193 | I could be wrong, but read this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/creation-date-of-file-using-the-ls-command-51921/#post259921 | 18:34 |
| coalwater | i found it in the man page, inside --time | 18:39 |
