[00:32] 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] what is this? [00:32] and should i go on with installing skype [00:32] freec_: did you manually download the 386 version of skype from skype.com? [00:33] no [00:33] babble: no [00:33] what, specifically are you trying to install? Which skype package? [00:35] skype :i... [00:35] in the synaptic [00:36] i havn't done an the updates yet [00:36] there isn't an official skype client for Natty in the repo [00:36] i'm wondering if that could have an effect [00:36] is the're not? [00:36] see here: [00:36] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=skype&searchon=names&suite=natty§ion=all [00:36] i have cannonical partners selected [00:36] there are add-ons that work WITH skype, but there isn't a repo-managed package for the skype client itself. [00:37] it may be that the skype package in the partner repo is newer than you can install on natty. [00:37] let me see what I can find. [00:37] yea thats what i'm thinking now... [00:40] try this: [00:40] http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/skype/skype_2.2.0.35-0natty1_i386.deb [00:41] (what's the version number on the package you're trying to install?) [00:41] i can'tl look right know i am installing the updates [00:42] in any case, it looks like 2.2.0 is the last update for natty [00:43] yea i will make sure its that one before i install [00:43] thanks [00:43] 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. [00:44] if you're on 64-bit, here's the 64-bit package: [00:44] http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/skype/skype_2.2.0.35-0natty1_amd64.deb [00:46] babble: in relation to that how can you find out if a machine running xubuntu is 32bit or 64 bit? [00:47] in your terminal, do: [00:47] uname -a [00:47] What happend when you try installing a 64bit os on a 32bit os [00:47] ? [00:48] 32bit architecture* [00:48] it won't boot from the livecd [00:48] (64 bit live image attempting to boot a 32-bit system) === zmoylan1 is now known as zmoylan [05:51] question i use docky and had to do a hard reset because because xbmc crashed on me i and the desktop was not responding so i drope down to termel and kill all xbmc and now when i login docky tell me something about compositing not working [05:52] using xubuntu 11.10 [05:54] uofm49426: probably had compositing on and it crashed too [06:01] on a fresh install docky dont require compiz up to work how can i fix this [06:24] uofm49426: settings -> window manager tweaks -> compositing, enable [09:04] what is newin Xubuntu 12.04? [12:49] Hello. [12:49] How can I Reboot or Shutdown from the Xubuntu 11.10 login screen. [12:49] ? [12:50] Belserusk: there's a small power icon in the upper right, at the lightdm login screen [12:51] (but it sometimes refuses to reboot for me - are you having trouble with that?) [12:53] argh. lag. brb. [12:56] babble, I see it in Xubuntu 11.10 in VirtualBox but not on my Xubuntu 11.10 laptop installation. Thats odd! [12:58] Hi babble. Any ideas? [12:59] you can always just login and do it from there.. mabye theres an issue with the login screen resolution not showing everything [13:00] you can go to tty via control+alt+F1 or F2 or whatever and run sudo shutdown -h now [13:02] oi. lag? [13:02] okay [13:02] ...or to reboot from the console do: [13:02] sudo reboot [13:02] babble, the login screen on my laptop is black - the login screen on virtualbox is different [13:03] babble, on laptop on top right it does show visual icon [13:03] 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] ...so resolutions is prob not the problem [13:04] Belserusk: on a VM, you're running on very generic shims that make generic video, network, etc. [13:04] babble, I see. Thank you. [13:04] holstein, cheers for the tips. [13:04] 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 [13:05] expect* [13:05] holstein, I installed it from a USB pen drive [13:06] Belserusk: same process - does the live system do what you expect? [13:06] 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] holstein, I will give it a go. [13:07] back later.... [13:07] this will tell (pretty much) is its something you have configured incorrectly, or if its kernel/video/resolution related [13:09] 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] babble: theres no 64bit one? [13:09] i personally hop through zero hoops for pidgin, and/or any other chat client [13:09] holstein: I'm using 64-bit, but there's a plugin I want to use that needs a 32-bit library [13:11] i might prefer the windows version in wine ;) [13:11] heh. [13:11] that's overkill for this. [13:11] oh well. [13:11] 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] Sysi: yes, I know how to install 32-bit apps. That's not my issue. [13:12] you know, personal issues are -offtopic :P [13:12] Sysi: This isn't a personal issue, unless you're convinced it needs to be, but that's arguably *your* personal issue. [13:14] for some reason I have difficulties undertsnading you [13:14] ..something breaks when you install 32bit pidgin? :o [13:16] 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] which is, yes, what I asked. [13:17] lightscribe is something i have that is 32bit only for now... [13:17] 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] I was relatively clear [13:18] anecdotal, but I've had no problems using 32 bit applications in a 64-bit environment [13:18] Arthur_D: I'm using 32-bit Secondlife. [13:18] Arthur_D: again, my issue isn't *how* to do this. [13:18] but this is getting ridiculous. [13:18] you asked whether it would break things? [13:19] and we're going 'round and 'round with things I didn't ask for any information or assistance with. [13:20] sorry, just wondered if I could help somehow [13:39] How can i mount a bin/cue image in ubuntu? [13:40] assuming your images are iso9660 filesystems on a .cue image, try: [13:41] here's a howto: http://ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/mount_bin_cue_cdemu [13:41] looks like it depends on installing cdemu [13:42] but, I haven't had to specify a filesystem (9660) type for ISO images since 11.10 [13:43] have you tried this: [13:43] sudo mount /path/to/image.cue /path/to/mountpoint [13:43] babble: its binary [13:43] image [13:44] 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] ISO, SquashFS, dd raw images. [13:44] try: [13:44] sudo mount /path/to/image.bin /path/to/mountpoint [13:45] babble: ok do i need cdemu? [13:45] or any program [13:45] You may or may not. That howto I found is fairly old. [13:45] Try just using mount first. [13:45] if it fails, we'll find a workaround. [13:59] 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. [14:00] Belserusk: in any case, switch to your console and reboot or shutdown from there, in the meantime. [14:00] it's a little more work, but it should work. [14:01] instead of logging completely out, have you tried using the Logout command from the apps menu? [14:01] You should be able to shutdown or reboot from the xfce4-logout dialog [14:02] babble, Ok. [14:03] babble, I know of them but was just curious about the login screen method. [14:03] what do you get if you do: [14:03] babble, cheers. [14:03] xfce4-session-logout? [14:03] ahh, okay [14:04] well, it sounds like it's an odd video issue, but without testing from a live image, it's tricky to say === Dax is now known as dax === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell [17:33] Hello ^^ === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:17] hi [19:45] hi [19:45] hi hi [19:46] Very dead channel [19:46] indeed :) [19:46] does any of you use ibus or scim? [19:46] its for problems only :P [19:46] so its good [19:46] Yeah that is good... guess a problem has arisen [19:47] I have ibus installed, but I dont see any language package [19:48] and I dont know exactly what synaptic packages to get: If I mark every ibus package, that ammounts for 0.5GB [19:50] sorry dont use it, cant help [19:51] martinphone, which language you want? [19:51] chinese and korean [19:51] Artemis3, [19:53] 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 [19:54] Artemis3, should I use scim? [19:54] if you like [19:54] i rather use anthy with uim :) [19:54] uim? [19:55] like scim [19:55] but another [19:55] :) [19:56] Artemis3, official here? http://uim.freedesktop.org/wiki/ [19:56] see uim packages [19:56] uim is the backend and anthy for frontend [19:57] maybe you like anthy with scim instead [19:59] 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] everything* [20:00] 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] ubuntu defaults to scim i believe [20:00] ill take a look at them and go for the most recently updated [20:01] scim and uim do the same, and both can use anthy [20:01] im going for uim 1.8.0, for xubuntu, should I get the tar.gz or tar.bz2? [20:01] both scim and uim have extra packages for more languages [20:01] 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 [20:02] why do you need the latest? is something wrong with package from repository? [20:02] xubuntu 12.04 beta2 64 bit [20:02] this is why you need anthy [20:02] I assume the latests is the least buggy, [20:02] with anthy you can configure another shortcut [20:02] the less buggy or the least buggy? [20:03] try anthy with scim if you want, or try uim you might like it [20:03] 탈.ㄱz 올 탈.ㅂz2? [20:03] crap [20:04] there is uim-anthy AND scim-anthy, pick one [20:04] tar.gz or tar.bz2? [20:04] you should avoid downloading package from their page, and use distro package instead [20:05] uim from synaptic is so old... [20:05] test: 〒 this is using anthy and uim [20:05] uim from 12.04 old??? [20:05] let me check [20:06] latest uim from source is 1.8, from synaptic is 1.1.7 [20:07] no its 1.7 not 1.1.7 don't be confused with debian nomenclature [20:07] 1:1.7.1-3ubuntu1 = 1.7 [20:07] aaa.... [20:07] it is very current [20:07] what you need is to add anthy [20:08] and use anthy gui instead [20:08] you can then define shortcuts [20:08] anthy is added [20:09] check uim-anthy package [20:09] also anthy package [20:09] done [20:10] install, then try from terminal uim-toolbar-gtk-systray for a test [20:10] do I get rid of IBUS first? [20:10] you will see an icon you can click to change things [20:11] well i have no experience with ibus, but i think it is better to have only 1 not 3 input backends :) [20:11] but try first [20:12] ok, i see it it works [20:12] by default i have it shift space to switch [20:12] instead of ctrl space, but you can change that [20:12] yes, like in ibus [20:12] o right [20:13] wait, is this only for japanese? [20:14] no, you can add more languages [20:15] if you installed uim, you can add package called, uim-hangul [20:15] see packages uim- [20:19] Hi babble, holstein. [20:20] 我不知道 [20:20] this was with ibus, now it seems to work [20:20] I thin UIM is not difficult but time consuming to change [20:20] think [20:27] 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 [20:28] hmm [20:28] there is ibus-anthy, maybe you can uninstall uim and just use that [20:29] martinphone [20:29] switchiing with anthy is very easy, you can have many languages [20:30] ok, ill unistall uim and make a sudo apt-get autoremove === mj is now known as Guest75606 [20:59] Xubuntu 12.04 BUG: A window titled "Launch Error" pops up which says: Did not receive a replt. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [21:06] Ok. I hate this clock set up. How can I get ti:me and Da/te :) [21:07] right-click clock -> preferences ? [21:07] CellTech: using Orage clock? [21:07] The stock clock in xubuntu 10.04 [21:08] change "Line 1" to use the right variables [21:08] can look them up via: man strftime [21:08] It's the one that uses the %M stuff [21:09] yeah [21:09] It's annoying as hell. I don't care about seconds. I want the date calender thing [21:09] so probably something like %R %d/%b [21:10] I'll try that [21:11] Worked. Only problem is. Now it's in metric time [21:11] use %I rather than %R [21:12] I just used a lower case r and it worked [21:12] ah, there you go :) [21:12] it's fixed. Thank you fella [21:12] not a fella, but you're welcome :) [21:12] damn irc names. can't tell whos a what and whats a who :) [21:32] hello chan [21:33] is international or italian chan [21:33] ???
