| freec_ | i'm trying to install skype on this fresh new install of xubuntu 11.04 and its telling me it must remove this: libc-bin, its written ESSENTIAL next to it | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| freec_ | what is this? | 00:32 |
| freec_ | and should i go on with installing skype | 00:32 |
| babble | freec_: did you manually download the 386 version of skype from skype.com? | 00:32 |
| freec_ | no | 00:33 |
| freec_ | babble: no | 00:33 |
| babble | what, specifically are you trying to install? Which skype package? | 00:33 |
| freec_ | skype :i... | 00:35 |
| freec_ | in the synaptic | 00:35 |
| freec_ | i havn't done an the updates yet | 00:36 |
| babble | there isn't an official skype client for Natty in the repo | 00:36 |
| freec_ | i'm wondering if that could have an effect | 00:36 |
| freec_ | is the're not? | 00:36 |
| babble | see here: | 00:36 |
| babble | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=skype&searchon=names&suite=natty§ion=all | 00:36 |
| freec_ | i have cannonical partners selected | 00:36 |
| babble | there are add-ons that work WITH skype, but there isn't a repo-managed package for the skype client itself. | 00:36 |
| babble | it may be that the skype package in the partner repo is newer than you can install on natty. | 00:37 |
| babble | let me see what I can find. | 00:37 |
| freec_ | yea thats what i'm thinking now... | 00:37 |
| babble | try this: | 00:40 |
| babble | http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/skype/skype_2.2.0.35-0natty1_i386.deb | 00:40 |
| babble | (what's the version number on the package you're trying to install?) | 00:41 |
| freec_ | i can'tl look right know i am installing the updates | 00:41 |
| babble | in any case, it looks like 2.2.0 is the last update for natty | 00:42 |
| freec_ | yea i will make sure its that one before i install | 00:43 |
| freec_ | thanks | 00:43 |
| babble | it looks like whatever you're trying to install is conflicting with your installed libc - it should have flagged it as a dependency, but if it can't find the libc it's looking for, it *sounds* like the verison you're trying to install is a later (non-natty) release. | 00:43 |
| babble | if you're on 64-bit, here's the 64-bit package: | 00:44 |
| babble | http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/skype/skype_2.2.0.35-0natty1_amd64.deb | 00:44 |
| freec_ | babble: in relation to that how can you find out if a machine running xubuntu is 32bit or 64 bit? | 00:46 |
| babble | in your terminal, do: | 00:47 |
| babble | uname -a | 00:47 |
| freec_ | What happend when you try installing a 64bit os on a 32bit os | 00:47 |
| freec_ | ? | 00:47 |
| freec_ | 32bit architecture* | 00:48 |
| babble | it won't boot from the livecd | 00:48 |

| mimoid | what is newin Xubuntu 12.04? | 09:04 |
| Belserusk | Hello. | 12:49 |
| Belserusk | How can I Reboot or Shutdown from the Xubuntu 11.10 login screen. | 12:49 |
| Belserusk | ? | 12:49 |
| babble | Belserusk: there's a small power icon in the upper right, at the lightdm login screen | 12:50 |
| babble | (but it sometimes refuses to reboot for me - are you having trouble with that?) | 12:51 |
| babble | argh. lag. brb. | 12:53 |
| Belserusk | babble, I see it in Xubuntu 11.10 in VirtualBox but not on my Xubuntu 11.10 laptop installation. Thats odd! | 12:56 |
| Belserusk | Hi babble. Any ideas? | 12:58 |
| holstein | you can always just login and do it from there.. mabye theres an issue with the login screen resolution not showing everything | 12:59 |
| holstein | you can go to tty via control+alt+F1 or F2 or whatever and run sudo shutdown -h now | 13:00 |
| babble | oi. lag? | 13:02 |
| babble | okay | 13:02 |
| babble | ...or to reboot from the console do: | 13:02 |
| babble | sudo reboot | 13:02 |
| Belserusk | babble, the login screen on my laptop is black - the login screen on virtualbox is different | 13:02 |
| Belserusk | babble, on laptop on top right it does show visual icon | 13:03 |
| babble | Belserusk: I'm not sure what may be happening, but my guess is holstein's: your laptop may be having video issues when running on the actual hardware. | 13:03 |
| Belserusk | ...so resolutions is prob not the problem | 13:03 |
| babble | Belserusk: on a VM, you're running on very generic shims that make generic video, network, etc. | 13:04 |
| Belserusk | babble, I see. Thank you. | 13:04 |
| Belserusk | holstein, cheers for the tips. | 13:04 |
| holstein | Belserusk: did you install from a live CD? do you have that available? boot up from it and logout.. see if you see what you expecty | 13:04 |
| holstein | expect* | 13:05 |
| Belserusk | holstein, I installed it from a USB pen drive | 13:05 |
| babble | Belserusk: same process - does the live system do what you expect? | 13:06 |
| holstein | Belserusk: OK.. if you'd like, as a troubleshooting step, assuming you used a live CD iso to create the USB stick you are informing me about, you can boot that live, logout, and see if you see what you expect to see | 13:06 |
| Belserusk | holstein, I will give it a go. | 13:06 |
| Belserusk | back later.... | 13:07 |
| holstein | this will tell (pretty much) is its something you have configured incorrectly, or if its kernel/video/resolution related | 13:07 |
| babble | argh. how many things am I going to break installing 32-bit pidgin on 64-bit 11.10, with all of its 32-bit dependencies? | 13:09 |
| holstein | babble: theres no 64bit one? | 13:09 |
| holstein | i personally hop through zero hoops for pidgin, and/or any other chat client | 13:09 |
| babble | holstein: I'm using 64-bit, but there's a plugin I want to use that needs a 32-bit library | 13:09 |
| holstein | i might prefer the windows version in wine ;) | 13:11 |
| babble | heh. | 13:11 |
| babble | that's overkill for this. | 13:11 |
| babble | oh well. | 13:11 |
| Sysi | install 32bit pidgin, with apt you should get dependencies, or you run it in terminal and install library when it reports something missing | 13:11 |
| babble | Sysi: yes, I know how to install 32-bit apps. That's not my issue. | 13:11 |
| Sysi | you know, personal issues are -offtopic :P | 13:12 |
| babble | Sysi: This isn't a personal issue, unless you're convinced it needs to be, but that's arguably *your* personal issue. | 13:12 |
| Sysi | for some reason I have difficulties undertsnading you | 13:14 |
| Sysi | ..something breaks when you install 32bit pidgin? :o | 13:14 |
| holstein | i think its more like "will installing 32bit pidgin in 64bit xubuntu break things"... i havent really messed with 32bit in 64bit yet, though i need to | 13:16 |
| babble | which is, yes, what I asked. | 13:16 |
| holstein | lightscribe is something i have that is 32bit only for now... | 13:17 |
| babble | In any case, I wasn't asking for help installing, nor was I asking for things I wasn't asking for with regard to *how* to install 32-bit on 64-bit OS installations. | 13:17 |
| babble | I was relatively clear | 13:17 |
| Arthur_D | anecdotal, but I've had no problems using 32 bit applications in a 64-bit environment | 13:18 |
| babble | Arthur_D: I'm using 32-bit Secondlife. | 13:18 |
| babble | Arthur_D: again, my issue isn't *how* to do this. | 13:18 |
| babble | but this is getting ridiculous. | 13:18 |
| Arthur_D | you asked whether it would break things? | 13:18 |
| babble | and we're going 'round and 'round with things I didn't ask for any information or assistance with. | 13:19 |
| Arthur_D | sorry, just wondered if I could help somehow | 13:20 |
| DemonWitch | How can i mount a bin/cue image in ubuntu? | 13:39 |
| babble | assuming your images are iso9660 filesystems on a .cue image, try: | 13:40 |
| babble | here's a howto: http://ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/mount_bin_cue_cdemu | 13:41 |
| babble | looks like it depends on installing cdemu | 13:41 |
| babble | but, I haven't had to specify a filesystem (9660) type for ISO images since 11.10 | 13:42 |
| babble | have you tried this: | 13:43 |
| babble | sudo mount /path/to/image.cue /path/to/mountpoint | 13:43 |
| DemonWitch | babble: its binary | 13:43 |
| DemonWitch | image | 13:43 |
| babble | DemonWitch: yes; my point is, the mount command in 11.10 mounts all manner of binary image types for me, without a lot of extra fiddling. | 13:44 |
| babble | ISO, SquashFS, dd raw images. | 13:44 |
| babble | try: | 13:44 |
| babble | sudo mount /path/to/image.bin /path/to/mountpoint | 13:44 |
| DemonWitch | babble: ok do i need cdemu? | 13:45 |
| DemonWitch | or any program | 13:45 |
| babble | You may or may not. That howto I found is fairly old. | 13:45 |
| babble | Try just using mount first. | 13:45 |
| babble | if it fails, we'll find a workaround. | 13:45 |
| Belserusk | babble, holstein - I don't have the Xubuntu 11.10 image on neither a CD nor USB drive. I will upgrade the distro next week so it is no big deal. Cheers. | 13:59 |
| babble | Belserusk: in any case, switch to your console and reboot or shutdown from there, in the meantime. | 14:00 |
| babble | it's a little more work, but it should work. | 14:00 |
| babble | instead of logging completely out, have you tried using the Logout command from the apps menu? | 14:01 |
| babble | You should be able to shutdown or reboot from the xfce4-logout dialog | 14:01 |
| Belserusk | babble, Ok. | 14:02 |
| Belserusk | babble, I know of them but was just curious about the login screen method. | 14:03 |
| babble | what do you get if you do: | 14:03 |
| Belserusk | babble, cheers. | 14:03 |
| babble | xfce4-session-logout? | 14:03 |
| babble | ahh, okay | 14:03 |
| babble | well, it sounds like it's an odd video issue, but without testing from a live image, it's tricky to say | 14:04 |

| baizon | hi hi | 19:45 |
| newbie|3 | Very dead channel | 19:46 |
| baizon | indeed :) | 19:46 |
| martinphone | does any of you use ibus or scim? | 19:46 |
| baizon | its for problems only :P | 19:46 |
| baizon | so its good | 19:46 |
| newbie|3 | Yeah that is good... guess a problem has arisen | 19:46 |
| martinphone | I have ibus installed, but I dont see any language package | 19:47 |
| martinphone | and I dont know exactly what synaptic packages to get: If I mark every ibus package, that ammounts for 0.5GB | 19:48 |
| baizon | sorry dont use it, cant help | 19:50 |
| Artemis3 | martinphone, which language you want? | 19:51 |
| martinphone | chinese and korean | 19:51 |
| martinphone | Artemis3, | 19:51 |
| Artemis3 | i never used ibus, but anthy uim and the appropiate fonts work, of course you could also install extra language files if you need the interface as well | 19:53 |
| martinphone | Artemis3, should I use scim? | 19:54 |
| Artemis3 | if you like | 19:54 |
| Artemis3 | i rather use anthy with uim :) | 19:54 |
| martinphone | uim? | 19:54 |
| Artemis3 | like scim | 19:55 |
| Artemis3 | but another | 19:55 |
| Artemis3 | :) | 19:55 |
| martinphone | Artemis3, official here? http://uim.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | 19:56 |
| Artemis3 | see uim packages | 19:56 |
| Artemis3 | uim is the backend and anthy for frontend | 19:56 |
| Artemis3 | maybe you like anthy with scim instead | 19:57 |
| martinphone | Artemis3, i like everyone that works, back in ubuntu 11.10 (2 weeks ago) I couldnt switch from japanese to any other input method, and I still dont know if it was because my installation was so buggy, or because bugs from ibus itself | 19:59 |
| martinphone | everything* | 19:59 |
| Artemis3 | if you install uim and anthy, you add uim-toolbar-gtk-systray to starting apps and thats it. you can add more uim modules for korean and chinese | 20:00 |
| Artemis3 | ubuntu defaults to scim i believe | 20:00 |
| martinphone | ill take a look at them and go for the most recently updated | 20:00 |
| Artemis3 | scim and uim do the same, and both can use anthy | 20:01 |
| martinphone | im going for uim 1.8.0, for xubuntu, should I get the tar.gz or tar.bz2? | 20:01 |
| Artemis3 | both scim and uim have extra packages for more languages | 20:01 |
| martinphone | yes Artemis3 , thats the theory, but, as of now with IBUS; I have to click five time each language for the applet to change the IM | 20:01 |
| Artemis3 | why do you need the latest? is something wrong with package from repository? | 20:02 |
| martinphone | xubuntu 12.04 beta2 64 bit | 20:02 |
| Artemis3 | this is why you need anthy | 20:02 |
| martinphone | I assume the latests is the least buggy, | 20:02 |
| Artemis3 | with anthy you can configure another shortcut | 20:02 |
| martinphone | the less buggy or the least buggy? | 20:02 |
| Artemis3 | try anthy with scim if you want, or try uim you might like it | 20:03 |
| martinphone | 탈.ㄱz 올 탈.ㅂz2? | 20:03 |
| martinphone | crap | 20:03 |
| Artemis3 | there is uim-anthy AND scim-anthy, pick one | 20:04 |
| martinphone | tar.gz or tar.bz2? | 20:04 |
| Artemis3 | you should avoid downloading package from their page, and use distro package instead | 20:04 |
| martinphone | uim from synaptic is so old... | 20:05 |
| Artemis3 | test: 〒 this is using anthy and uim | 20:05 |
| Artemis3 | uim from 12.04 old??? | 20:05 |
| Artemis3 | let me check | 20:05 |
| martinphone | latest uim from source is 1.8, from synaptic is 1.1.7 | 20:06 |
| Artemis3 | no its 1.7 not 1.1.7 don't be confused with debian nomenclature | 20:07 |
| Artemis3 | 1:1.7.1-3ubuntu1 = 1.7 | 20:07 |
| martinphone | aaa.... | 20:07 |
| Artemis3 | it is very current | 20:07 |
| Artemis3 | what you need is to add anthy | 20:07 |
| Artemis3 | and use anthy gui instead | 20:08 |
| Artemis3 | you can then define shortcuts | 20:08 |
| martinphone | anthy is added | 20:08 |
| Artemis3 | check uim-anthy package | 20:09 |
| Artemis3 | also anthy package | 20:09 |
| martinphone | done | 20:09 |
| Artemis3 | install, then try from terminal uim-toolbar-gtk-systray for a test | 20:10 |
| martinphone | do I get rid of IBUS first? | 20:10 |
| Artemis3 | you will see an icon you can click to change things | 20:10 |
| Artemis3 | well i have no experience with ibus, but i think it is better to have only 1 not 3 input backends :) | 20:11 |
| Artemis3 | but try first | 20:11 |
| martinphone | ok, i see it it works | 20:12 |
| Artemis3 | by default i have it shift space to switch | 20:12 |
| Artemis3 | instead of ctrl space, but you can change that | 20:12 |
| martinphone | yes, like in ibus | 20:12 |
| martinphone | o right | 20:12 |
| martinphone | wait, is this only for japanese? | 20:13 |
| Artemis3 | no, you can add more languages | 20:14 |
| Artemis3 | if you installed uim, you can add package called, uim-hangul | 20:15 |
| Artemis3 | see packages uim- | 20:15 |
| Belserusk | Hi babble, holstein. | 20:19 |
| martinphone | 我不知道 | 20:20 |
| martinphone | this was with ibus, now it seems to work | 20:20 |
| martinphone | I thin UIM is not difficult but time consuming to change | 20:20 |
| martinphone | think | 20:20 |
| martinphone | thanks for the tips Artemis3 but now IBUS seems to work, and I need a quick way to switch from english to chinese and korean (thats the minimum) and sometimes some japanese. German and french dont count, due to alphabetic system | 20:27 |
| Artemis3 | hmm | 20:28 |
| Artemis3 | there is ibus-anthy, maybe you can uninstall uim and just use that | 20:28 |
| Artemis3 | martinphone | 20:29 |
| Artemis3 | switchiing with anthy is very easy, you can have many languages | 20:29 |
| martinphone | ok, ill unistall uim and make a sudo apt-get autoremove | 20:30 |
