| caesar_ | i went to remove an app and i get an error that the package manager is being use by another process | 01:27 |
| caesar_ | but i just booted up my computer | 01:27 |
| caesar_ | how can i find out what's using it | 01:27 |
| Daskreech | caesar_: sure that you don't have anything running? | 01:34 |
| Daskreech | Could be it checking for any updates | 01:35 |
| caesar_ | Daskreech: I have it set to check for updates once a week and I just installed last updates 2 days ago | 01:40 |
| Daskreech | caesar_: fair enough | 01:41 |
| OerHeks | caesar_, do you have package-manager open, and did you try to remove that app in terminal ? | 01:44 |
| Daskreech | caesar_: are you getting a package lock error? | 01:46 |
| caesar_ | i tried in the software center and in the package manager.. both same error | 01:46 |
| caesar_ | im gonna reboot once more | 01:46 |
| caesar_ | brb | 01:46 |
| Daskreech | might just have to kill the lock file | 01:53 |
| OerHeks | true, if it is occupied and not released. | 01:55 |
| OerHeks | reboot should do no harm nor break this lock, i guess | 01:56 |
| Daskreech | unless it's a stale file | 01:56 |
| Daskreech | if caesar_ comes back and I'm not here | 01:56 |
| OerHeks | on gnome this should work > sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo dpkg --configure -a | 01:57 |
| Daskreech | try lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 01:57 |
| Daskreech | that should say what's holding onto it. If nothing is then you can sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock or run sudo fuser -k /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 01:58 |
| Daskreech | second is a lazy unmount of it just in case but just removing it should be enough | 01:58 |

| Daskreech | APERSON: Ok we get it! | 03:15 |
| APERSON | I love watching people complain about all-caps nicks | 03:15 |
| APERSON | it's such a petty thing to whine about | 03:16 |
| === gaurav__ is now known as Guest15802 | ||
| Daskreech | APERSON: It was a joke :) | 03:42 |
| Daskreech | Just felt like someone saying I'm a person too!! | 03:42 |
| APERSON | Daskreech↳ :) | 03:50 |
| APERSON | heh, some people rage at me for having both a all-caps nick and a non-ascii tab-complete suffix | 03:51 |
| Daskreech | ঙAPERSONৠ: would annoy people I suppose :) | 03:55 |
| APERSON | apparently it ruins some clients | 03:55 |
| APERSON | where it makes the rest of the line gibberish | 03:56 |
| Lynoure | APERSON: what's the reason for that suffix? | 04:00 |
| APERSON | why not? | 04:01 |
| Lynoure | APERSON: why not something else, I mean. it was not criticism... just wanting to know what the decision process was. | 04:02 |
| APERSON | no, that's my reason | 04:02 |
| APERSON | why not? | 04:02 |
| Lynoure | APERSON: you used a random generator to choose that specific one? | 04:03 |
| Lynoure | APERSON: how lucky then to get anything like an arrow. | 04:03 |
| APERSON | I have a list of arrows that I made | 04:03 |
| APERSON | I have a script that I use to launch xchat that randomly changes it every start up | 04:04 |
| Lynoure | ah, now we are getting to the good stuff... :) I thought this would be interesting. | 04:04 |
| APERSON | sed -i -e 's/^completion_suffix = .*$/completion_suffix = '"$(cat $HOME/.xchat2/arrows.txt | shuf | head -1)"'/' $HOME/.xchat2/xchat.conf | 04:06 |
| APERSON | that's the gist of it | 04:06 |
| Lynoure | APERSON: I'm almost sure 1/3 of the people complaining about your tab completion character will change their mind when they hear that :) | 04:06 |
| Lynoure | Try it sometime. | 04:06 |
| APERSON | you'd be surprised | 04:06 |
| Lynoure | Probably not, it's just 1/3, not like "all the people" :( | 04:07 |
| Daskreech | Lynoure: I'd doubt it. Far fewer people are impressed with technical reasons behind something than are impressed with who got selected to be in the summer movie of the year | 04:25 |
| Shaxs | Hey guys, I am trying to install emitapp.com which is a tar.gz file. According to the readme in the directory after I unzipped, I am supposed to do "Install to default /usr/local then sudo ./install. However ./install is not working. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? | 04:32 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: tell what steps you did | 04:42 |
| Shaxs | daskreech: I *think* I may have figure it out...one sec | 04:46 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech: So it looks like the command was sudo sh ./install | 04:48 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: one second. Time is up! We need an answer! | 04:48 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: ha ha ok | 04:48 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: type ls -l install | 04:48 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech: however I was missing a dependency | 04:48 |
| Daskreech | paste back the line here | 04:48 |
| Daskreech | You can remove your username if you like | 04:49 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech I need to get this dependency installed first. Lets say I wanted to install miniupnp.free.fr/files/download.php?file=miniupnpc-1.6.tar.gz. I unzipped it. What terminal commands do I need to do to make/install something like this? | 04:49 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: what's your dependency? | 04:50 |
| Shaxs | miniupnpc-1.6.tar.gz | 04:50 |
| Daskreech | !info miniupnpc | 04:51 |
| ubottu | miniupnpc (source: miniupnpc): UPnP IGD client lightweight library client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5-2ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 9 kB, installed size 80 kB | 04:51 |
| Daskreech | Would that help? | 04:51 |
| Shaxs | can I apt-get install that? | 04:51 |
| Daskreech | Yes you can | 04:51 |
| Shaxs | fyi this is the full install instructions for Emit:http://pastebin.com/fQ0iifVC | 04:52 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech: so now I have that, I will try your command above | 04:53 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech: I get this: "-rw-r--r-- 1 jason jason 576 2011-11-01 07:05 install" | 04:55 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: can you read that? | 04:56 |
| Shaxs | ? | 04:57 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: do you understand what that line is saying? | 04:58 |
| Shaxs | not entirely | 04:58 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: ok so the first part is a set of permissions | 05:01 |
| Daskreech | You have one dash that tells you the kind of file | 05:01 |
| Daskreech | - means a normal file | 05:01 |
| Daskreech | d means a directory | 05:01 |
| Daskreech | after that you have 9 dashes | 05:01 |
| Daskreech | --- --- --- | 05:01 |
| Daskreech | they are three sets that are each a letter | 05:02 |
| Daskreech | rwx | 05:02 |
| Daskreech | so it's three sets of those | 05:02 |
| Daskreech | rw- r-- and r-- is what you have | 05:02 |
| Daskreech | r means read w means write the last dash is a x | 05:02 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: can you see that so far? | 05:02 |
| Shaxs | so first dash before the rw denotes a normal file | 05:04 |
| Shaxs | no, not sure I follow 100% | 05:05 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: right | 05:06 |
| Daskreech | then the ones after are either a - or a letter | 05:06 |
| Daskreech | and there are always 9 | 05:06 |
| Daskreech | in groups of three | 05:06 |
| Daskreech | so when you look at them read them in little groups of three | 05:06 |
| Daskreech | so the first group is rw- | 05:07 |
| Daskreech | which means r for read w for write and then a - | 05:07 |
| Daskreech | the first three are for the owner of the file (which is happily you!) so you can read the file and write to it | 05:07 |
| Daskreech | however you cannot do the last one since it's a - | 05:08 |
| darthanubis | my kubuntu is not auto-updating | 05:08 |
| Daskreech | darthanubis: as in it's not downloading and installing updates or it's not even checking? | 05:08 |
| Shaxs | got it | 05:08 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: the last - can be made into a x | 05:09 |
| darthanubis | it does not seem to check on its own | 05:09 |
| Daskreech | x means eXecute | 05:09 |
| darthanubis | I come home from work and run update from the cli | 05:09 |
| darthanubis | that works perfectly | 05:09 |
| Daskreech | that would explain why you couldn't do a ./install to run the program because you don't have permissions to do so | 05:09 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: if you run chmod u+x install then ./install should work | 05:10 |
| Daskreech | also ls -l would show -rwxr--r-- | 05:10 |
| Daskreech | darthanubis: Check your setting in muon ? it has an update policy there as I recall | 05:10 |
| === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn | ||
| Shaxs | ahhhh | 05:11 |
| Shaxs | understood | 05:11 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: if you would like I can explain the last two groups of three | 05:11 |
| === guerrilha is now known as dtcrshr | ||
| Daskreech | but that should be enough toget you run the file. | 05:11 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech so what I want it to be is rwx | 05:11 |
| Daskreech | One thing you should learn from this is that any file in Linux can be made into program so be careful of files people give you randomly. | 05:12 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: correct. The command <chmod u+x install> will give your user the x permission | 05:12 |
| Shaxs | ahhh got it | 05:13 |
| darthanubis | Daskreech: Muon was already setup to look for updates and notify | 05:13 |
| darthanubis | It's weird, because to install soulseek, my system wants to pull in all of Ubuntu proper? | 05:14 |
| darthanubis | sorry not soulseek nicotine | 05:15 |
| darthanubis | maybe my source.list file is of? | 05:16 |
| darthanubis | off? | 05:16 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech: what would an non-normal file look like? | 05:17 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: what is your definition of a non normal file? | 05:17 |
| Daskreech | one that doesn't have a - at the start? | 05:17 |
| Daskreech | darthanubis: sudo apt-get update would tell you | 05:17 |
| darthanubis | that works perfectly | 05:18 |
| darthanubis | but it should not be wanting to download all of Ubuntu to get nicotine | 05:18 |
| darthanubis | so something is off, but I can't find what. | 05:18 |
| Daskreech | It's not the file then apt-get would either freak or refuse to work if that was corrupted | 05:18 |
| darthanubis | I know | 05:18 |
| Daskreech | darthanubis: apt-cache depends nicotine | 05:19 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech up above you said " - means a normal file" just curious what else could show up there? | 05:19 |
| darthanubis | http://privatepaste.com/a20f20a7e6 | 05:19 |
| darthanubis | Suggests: python-gnome2? <<<is that the culprit? | 05:20 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: a d means a directory (folder for people from the Windows World) | 05:21 |
| Daskreech | darthanubis: sounds like it | 05:22 |
| Daskreech | that's by far the most common two | 05:22 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: ^^ sorry forgot to direct that to you | 05:22 |
| Daskreech | darthanubis: install it without suggests | 05:23 |
| darthanubis | Daskreech: That I don't know how to do | 05:23 |
| Shaxs | thanks | 05:23 |
| === APERSON is now known as aperson | ||
| Daskreech | sudo apt-get -o APT::Install-Suggests="false" install nicotine | 05:25 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: You have pipe files which you likely never meet unless you get paid a lot of money to keep linux computer running | 05:25 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: there are device files which are in /dev which you probably shouldn't play with | 05:26 |
| darthanubis | Thanks, but if "install suggested recommends as dependencies" is unchecked, why would the system keep wanting to do that? | 05:26 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: there are also link files (shown with a l) which are like Windows Shortcuts in some way | 05:26 |
| darthanubis | nvm, it suddenly does not wantto do that anymore | 05:27 |
| darthanubis | weird | 05:27 |
| Daskreech | darthanubis: that is strange | 05:27 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech: Ive used pipes before for grepping logs :) | 05:28 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: its the same idea except it exists as a file on the file system that can be owned and survives reboots :) | 05:28 |
| darthanubis | I found out from a google search a thread on ubuntu forums about the auto update, install update-notifier, updated the system, then rechecked and unchecked install suggested as dependecies, and all is normal now? | 05:29 |
| Daskreech | It's a fascinating little trick but honestly never going to be used by mortal users | 05:29 |
| Daskreech | darthanubis: Ah I've had that happen a few times (not for this system) | 05:29 |
| Daskreech | where checking and unchecking something actually does quite a few changes in the back that for some reason had something missing on manual checks/changes | 05:30 |
| darthanubis | hmm | 05:32 |
| darthanubis | just glad my two "bugs" are gone | 05:32 |
| darthanubis | ty for your time:) | 05:33 |
| Daskreech | Sure | 05:34 |
| Shaxs | Daskreech: is there a log that saves the output from terminal? | 05:44 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: depends on what you mean. What are you trying to get ? | 05:45 |
| Shaxs | for emit, I am running another command. According to documentation " FFmpeg in apt is also useless (no x264 and no libfaac). Run "sh ffmpeg.sh". It will build packages of latest ffmpeg with the most common codecs. It will also remove any existing ffmpeg, x264 and libvpx. | 05:46 |
| Shaxs | However this is a very long output from termianl but the end result is it fails | 05:46 |
| Shaxs | I was hoping to read through the output and see where the error(s) are | 05:46 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: try sh ffmpeg.sh >output.log | 05:47 |
| Shaxs | thanks! | 05:48 |
| Shaxs | when doing that does nothing show on screen? i.e. it all gets dumped to file without being shown in terminal? | 05:49 |
| Shaxs | oh nope there it goes | 05:50 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: Yes. if you still wanted everything on the screen you can use tee to send output to two places | 05:50 |
| Daskreech | The error will still showup on the screen incidentally | 05:51 |
| Daskreech | If you just wanted the error in a file I can do that as well | 05:51 |
| Shaxs | no this works great | 05:53 |

| Shaxs | better? | 05:55 |
| Daskreech | yep it's has some pretty cool terminal splitting capabilties and looks pretty neat | 05:56 |
| Shaxs | nice I will check it out | 05:57 |
| Shaxs | so it looks like, there are multiple commands in that sh file and doing ?output.log does not capture all of them | 05:58 |
| Shaxs | what ends on my screen does not match what is in the log | 05:58 |
| Daskreech | Shaxs: the command I gave you saves all the successful commands to the output.log the errors go to the screen | 06:00 |
| Daskreech | you can try sh ffmpeg.sh 2> errors.log | 06:00 |
| Daskreech | or of course sh ffmpeg.sh > output.log 2> errors.log to grab them both | 06:00 |

| i_am_null | how do i disable panel transparency in kubuntu 11.10? | 20:33 |
| i_am_null | like, just have a plain gray panel or something | 20:33 |
| BluesKaj | try a new desktop theme in windows decor or something, i_am_null | 20:35 |
| BluesKaj | oh yeah I forgot to say like | 20:36 |
| i_am_null | they're all freaking transparent | 20:36 |
| BluesKaj | import spme new ones or somerthing like | 20:37 |
| i_am_null | they're probably all transparent too | 20:37 |
| i_am_null | what's the deal with transparent stuff | 20:37 |
| BluesKaj | no they aren't | 20:37 |
| i_am_null | i find it highly annoying, isn't there just a switch to turn off transparent panels | 20:37 |
| BluesKaj | stop trolling and do something | 20:38 |
| i_am_null | i see other screen shots of people using the default theme on kubuntu but they don't have a transparent panel | 20:38 |
| hays | so font rendering in linux appears to suck... is there anything that can be done about this? | 20:38 |
| hays | particularly firefox has a real hard time, it appears | 20:38 |
| i_am_null | surely there is a option to turn this off? | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | well , look around, i_am_null ...maybe if you concentrate on finding jnew themes instead you might , likr find find something | 20:40 |
| i_am_null | maybe i will just switch to the redmond theme, nothing in it is transparent | 20:41 |
| BluesKaj | hays have you set your font choices in system settings>application appearancs | 20:42 |
| hays | BluesKaj: yeah i set it to all the Deja family | 20:42 |
| hays | quassel looks great, its really just the web (firefox) that looks terrible | 20:42 |
| i_am_null | hays: make sure font hinting is set to slight | 20:42 |
| i_am_null | my fonts looked like crap untill i did that | 20:42 |
| i_am_null | also uncheck the "exclude range" button | 20:43 |
| i_am_null | kubuntu's fonts are screwy out of the box for some reason | 20:43 |
| i_am_null | at least they were for me | 20:43 |
| BluesKaj | hays and use the high res amd high cpu fine tuning | 20:43 |
| BluesKaj | and | 20:44 |
| hays | huh? | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | in the style section | 20:44 |
| i_am_null | what's really bad is awful fonts on a transparent panel :P | 20:44 |
| i_am_null | hard to read | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | then change the font defaults | 20:47 |
| hays | not allowing web pages to choose their own fonts seems to help | 20:48 |
| hays | ALOT | 20:48 |
| hays | I actually like 'slight' hinting better than medium | 20:49 |
| jjman6 | how come when running muon it won't let me do anything Saying i don't have permissions to do that operation. And its not even prompting for admin pw | 20:50 |
| hays | BluesKaj: it seems like the essense of the problem is that there is no standardized way to render a font (or people aren't following it) so when linux picks some random TTF that a website wants, Freetype is not going to do as good job of it as Windows... | 20:53 |
