[03:37] <Goodguy69> How to I tell if some site is trying to use my pc as a proxy? A site was connected an hour after closing my browser. The site has no updates etc.
[03:54] <mystdarren> check firewall logs
[14:38] <sahmed> I have a question about installing .tar.gz files in Kubuntu.
[14:41] <hobgoblin> ask it then :)
[14:51] <sahmed> how do I install it
[14:51] <sahmed> :)
[14:52] <sahmed> I have synaptic file manager but not sure how I can use that to install the package
[15:00] <hobgoblin> hi sahmed - sorry was afk
[15:01] <hobgoblin> you need to extract it and then it depends what is in the extracted folder as to what you need to do next
[15:01] <hobgoblin> what is it you are trying to install
[15:01] <hobgoblin> synaptic will not be of any use with a tarball
[15:02] <sahmed> I am trying to install Cisco AnyConnect that I downloaded from Cisco's website
[15:03] <hobgoblin> never heard of it :)
[15:04] <hobgoblin> is it a small download sahmed ? if it is give me a link and I'll take a look
[15:05] <sahmed> yea its only 3mb...but you have to login to Cisco's website to download the file so I do not have a direct link
[15:06] <hobgoblin> oh - ok - so have you extracted it yet? right click extract
[15:07] <sahmed> yes i have..i downloaded 2 files...anyconnect-linux-2.5.3055-k9.tar.gz and anyconnect-linux-2.5.3055-vpnapi.tar.gz
[15:08] <sahmed> i have extracted both but not sure which one is the main one to use...
[15:08] <hobgoblin> neither do I ...
[15:08] <hobgoblin> can you use a terminal sahmed
[15:09] <sahmed> yes i navigated to the extracted folder with terminal
[15:09] <hobgoblin> if you can navigate to each one in turn and do ls
[15:09] <sahmed> didn't know what to do after that
[15:09] <hobgoblin> then paste the contents to paste.ubuntu.com - put a user name and I'll have a look
[15:09] <hobgoblin> not sure I'll be able to help you - but let's look first
[15:10] <hobgoblin> then paste the contents to paste.ubuntu.com - put a user name, enter and then give me the new urlk and I'll have a look
[15:12] <hobgoblin> sahmed: I will be right back
[15:15] <sahmed> Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/825180/
[15:19] <hobgoblin> sahmed: ok in that one there is a vpnfooinstall.sh - while in the correct directory try sh .vpn_in - tab should autocomplete
[15:19] <hobgoblin> it might need sudo though
[15:20] <sahmed> i did sude su and logged in...by the way what does sudo mean..I know su mean supper user
[15:21] <hobgoblin> sahmed: ubuntu does not use su
[15:22] <hobgoblin> the su account is disabled
[15:22] <sahmed> i typed in sudo su and put in my password
[15:22] <sahmed> is that the correct method
[15:24] <hobgoblin> you can just sudo command
[15:24] <hobgoblin> no need for su at all
[15:24] <hobgoblin> sahmed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[15:28] <sahmed> Thanks so you are saying I have to use sudo to install the application?
[15:28] <hobgoblin> sahmed: yep - if root is needed then sudo sh vpn_install.sh
[15:29] <hobgoblin> but as you said it is possuible you need the other installed first - there are some threads on the forum about this cisco thing
[15:35] <sahmed> okay thanks for your help
[15:35] <hobgoblin> did it work?
[15:38] <sahmed> no i still don't know what to do
[15:38] <sahmed> i'll look around on cisco's website
[15:41] <hobgoblin> sahmed: did you do sh vpn_install.sh  while in the directory or sudo sh vpn_install.sh if it asked for root rights
[15:43] <sahmed> oh let me try that
[15:43] <sahmed> well i just did sh vpn_install.sh and it asked if i agreed to the licence
[15:44] <sahmed> Start the VPN agent.... then said Done!
[15:44] <hobgoblin> :)
[15:44] <sahmed> but not sure where the install is :)
[15:44] <hobgoblin> I'll not be able to help you with the agent itself though I'm afraid
[15:45] <hobgoblin> if you did sh and not sudo sh it should be in your /home somewhere
[15:45] <sahmed> okay i'll look around
[15:48] <sahmed> i found it :)
[15:49] <sahmed> after I did sh vpn_install.sh ..i located the vpnui in the folder where all the extracted application were and the UI came up
[15:50] <hobgoblin> sahmed: cool - glad I could be of assistance - enjoy ubuntu :)
[15:50] <sahmed> Thank you
[19:17] <Alexeey17> hi, i was wondering if there's any way of scanning my comp so that i find out what drivers and what modules i need on the boot dvd
[19:18] <Alexeey17> is there anyone here at all?
[19:30] <coalwater> hi Alexeey17
[19:31] <Alexeey17> hi
[19:31] <coalwater> so, what do u mean by scanning
[19:32] <Alexeey17> something like an utility that scans my hardware
[19:32] <Alexeey17> and tells me what i need and what is best
[19:33] <coalwater> u just installed a new ubuntu ? or what do u mean, when the system starts the update manager handles all this stuff
[19:34] <Alexeey17> no, i am trying to figure out what version to download and install, and what other drivers i'll be needing, i have xp for the moment
[19:35] <coalwater> u wont have an internet connection on the ubuntu pc ?
[19:36] <Alexeey17> i have interenet but it's wireless, and dont know if thats going to work after reinstall
[19:37] <Alexeey17> tho i think i can use a cable untill i find a driver for it
[19:37] <coalwater> well u could try using live cd, if it doesnt work then u need to check
[19:38] <Alexeey17> thought of that, downloading one now. and do you think that the last version is going to run smooth on a 1.5ghz celeron m with 512 mb ram toshiba sattellite?
[19:39] <coalwater> it should run fine, but u could consider running different desktop versions, like kubuntu or lubuntu, they need less ram
[19:39] <Alexeey17> do those have live cd versions?
[19:40] <coalwater> yea
[19:40] <Alexeey17> ok, witch one do you reccomend?
[19:41] <coalwater> theres good support for lubuntu
[19:41] <coalwater> maybe u could try that
[19:42] <Alexeey17> ok, thanks alot :) cya
[19:43] <coalwater> latest lubuntu http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/11.10/release/
[19:49] <Alexeey17> thnaks :)
