[00:23] Hello, I'm learning javascript and I'd like to know a good irc channel for beginner developers. Any suggestions? [00:30] thinking... [00:31] i guess #ubuntu-beginners-dev [00:32] or #ubuntu-beginners-team n00b43v3r [00:32] but i don't know if any of them know javascript [00:32] n00b43v3r: i assume you tried ##javascript [00:32] thank you. I'm trying that now. [00:33] 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] 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] 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] |GoLTaR|: What's the exact command line that produces that error? [00:45] <|GoLTaR|> tar zxvf file.tar.gz [00:45] Hm. What does file /usr/bin/touch say? [00:47] Though why tar would call /usr/bin/touch is baffling [00:48] Is tar an alias or function perhaps? What's the output of type -a tar ? [00:48] |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] It's very odd to get an error message about touch when running tar though [00:59] does tar usually work without the hyphen? [01:03] Yes [01:03] <|GoLTaR|> im trying to make update but i got the same error :/ [01:04] make update? [01:05] |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] |GoLTaR|: "type" is a shell command [01:05] <|GoLTaR|> tar is /bin/tar [01:05] <|GoLTaR|> sorry [01:06] |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] |GoLTaR|: Hm. And the output of this? file /usr/bin/touch /bin/touch [01:08] "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] Oh, that doesn't look right. corrupted program header size [01:09] <|GoLTaR|> how can i fix this? :/ [01:11] 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] Well, all we know is that the touch command is corrupted [01:17] Whether this is due to a corrupt filesystem, failing harddrive or a malicious command is hard to know. [01:22] not "the" touch, just touch [01:23] <|GoLTaR|> i lost connection :/ [01:23] i better go do other things, root lock, and read the touch man page [01:24] <|GoLTaR|> what to reinstall? :/ [01:25] |GoLTaR|: you can try sudo apt-get purge coreutils [01:25] |GoLTaR|: then sudo apt-get install coreutils [01:26] I'd say sudo apt-get --reinstall install coreutils [01:26] removing coreutils will likely uninstall a ton of other packages [01:28] yeah, didn't work here [01:29] i'm off [01:29] But again, the issue may not be limited to just the touch command [01:31] 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] 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. === m0hi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy === genupulas is now known as raju [15:16] ;) === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:29] how do i find the file creation date from terminal [18:29] coalwater: ls -l not do it for you? :D [18:30] it shows modification date right ? [18:30] i want first creation date [18:34] 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] i found it in the man page, inside --time === bodhi_zazen is now known as coffeecat === coffeecat is now known as bodhi_zazen [19:07] Coffeecat, nice :D [22:25] helllo [22:25] guys [22:26] how can i use httrack to dl only the ww.site.com/target the file under taget DIR [23:16] hello
