[00:23] <n00b43v3r> Hello, I'm learning javascript and I'd like to know a good irc channel for beginner developers. Any suggestions?
[00:30] <seidos> thinking...
[00:31] <seidos> i guess #ubuntu-beginners-dev
[00:32] <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.
[00:33] <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
[00:34] <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.
[00:42] <|GoLTaR|> hello, i need some help
[00:43] <|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?
[00:45] <|GoLTaR|> tar zxvf file.tar.gz
[00:45] <geirha> Hm. What does   file /usr/bin/touch   say?
[00:47] <geirha> Though why tar would call /usr/bin/touch is baffling
[00:48] <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
[00:57] <geirha> It's very odd to get an error message about touch when running tar though
[00:59] <seidos> does tar usually work without the hyphen?
[01:03] <geirha> Yes
[01:03] <|GoLTaR|> im trying to make update but i got the same error :/
[01:04] <geirha> make update?
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <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
[01:07] <geirha> |GoLTaR|: Hm. And the output of this?   file /usr/bin/touch /bin/touch
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <geirha> Oh, that doesn't look right. corrupted program header size
[01:09] <|GoLTaR|> how can i fix this? :/
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <|GoLTaR|> i need to reinstall the touch ?
[01:13] <|GoLTaR|> tar?
[01:15] <geirha> Well, all we know is that the touch command is corrupted
[01:17] <geirha> Whether this is due to a corrupt filesystem, failing harddrive or a malicious command is hard to know.
[01:22] <seidos> not "the" touch, just touch
[01:23] <|GoLTaR|> i lost connection :/
[01:23] <seidos> i better go do other things, root lock, and read the touch man page
[01:24] <|GoLTaR|> what to reinstall? :/
[01:25] <seidos> |GoLTaR|: you can try sudo apt-get purge coreutils
[01:25] <seidos> |GoLTaR|: then sudo apt-get install coreutils
[01:26] <geirha> I'd say sudo apt-get --reinstall install coreutils
[01:26] <geirha> removing coreutils will likely uninstall a ton of other packages
[01:28] <seidos> yeah, didn't work here
[01:29] <seidos> i'm off
[01:29] <geirha> But again, the issue may not be limited to just the touch command
[01:31] <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.
[01:34] <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.
[15:16] <ApOgEE> ;)
[18:29] <coalwater> how do i find the file creation date from terminal
[18:29] <Unit193> coalwater: ls -l not do it for you? :D
[18:30] <coalwater> it shows modification date right ?
[18:30] <coalwater> i want first creation date
[18:34] <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
[18:39] <coalwater> i found it in the man page, inside --time
[19:07] <Unit193> Coffeecat, nice :D
