| jobinar | Hi! | 12:58 |
| jobinar | I m a moderately new user to Ubuntu, and am interested in finding out new things in it | 12:58 |
| jobinar | Can anyone tell me which file gets changed when I do a sudo apt-get update? | 12:59 |
| jobinar | I mean I want to know where is the list of all the softwares in my system.... | 13:00 |
| jobinar | Any help appreciated! | 13:00 |
| bioterror | it's /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin | 13:00 |
| bioterror | and /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin | 13:00 |
| jobinar | Thanks a lot bioterror!!! | 13:00 |
| jobinar | I am not able to read the contents fo the file. It seems to be a binary file | 13:01 |
| jobinar | Can I in anyway read this? | 13:01 |
| jobinar | Or is there a text version available? | 13:02 |
| bioterror | you want to list all the stuff you have installed? | 13:02 |
| jobinar | no | 13:02 |
| bioterror | what you are after? | 13:02 |
| jobinar | I came to know that is here /var/lib/dpkg/status | 13:02 |
| jobinar | I want to know where are "all" the softwares availble for download kept on my system... | 13:02 |
| jobinar | for some foolish reasons u can say | 13:02 |
| bioterror | files you have used for installing programs? | 13:03 |
| bioterror | I'm trying to understand what you're after | 13:03 |
| jobinar | no buddy, I mean, when I type the name of a software not installed on my system, it comes to know that it is not installed but there is software by that name? | 13:04 |
| jobinar | how does it come to know this? | 13:04 |
| jobinar | Hope u got my intention | 13:06 |
| bioterror | yes, when you type a command in shell, it tells you command not found, but you can install it | 13:06 |
| bioterror | like htop, for example | 13:06 |
| jobinar | ya | 13:06 |
| jobinrv | sorry for the interruption, my connection got reset | 13:08 |
| bioterror | it's a bash script, I assume | 13:08 |
| jobinrv | is the list of files not stored anywhere on my system, then? | 13:09 |
| jobinrv | like the list of softwares installed on my system.... | 13:09 |
| Amijai | i cannot log in to my GTalk accounts on precise | 13:10 |
| Amijai | claimes the password is incorrect, although I know for a fact it's correct! | 13:10 |
| Amijai | jobinrv: what was your question? I just got here | 13:11 |
| jobinrv | i wanted to know where is the list of all the softwares available for download stored on my system... | 13:11 |
| jobinrv | the way /var/lib/dpkg/status stores the list of installed softwares | 13:12 |
| Amijai | I don't think you can vrowse the list | 13:13 |
| Amijai | is in a tar.gz file | 13:13 |
| Amijai | what are you looking for exactly? | 13:13 |
| jobinrv | i just want to know how does the shell come to know that there is no software installed on my PC named "XYZ", when i type XYZ but it knows that it is a software | 13:13 |
| bioterror | jobinrv, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommandNotFoundMagic | 13:13 |
| Amijai | you could install apt-file to figure out which package holds a certain file | 13:14 |
| jobinrv | i just want to know this for some silly reason | 13:14 |
| bioterror | jobinrv, I gave you what you're looking for ;) | 13:14 |
| jobinrv | thanks bioterror, will check it in a moment | 13:15 |
| Amijai | I am no Ubuntu developer, but I guess it has to do with the updatedb mechanism | 13:15 |
| Amijai | it compares the installed package list with the last list it got from apt-get update | 13:16 |
| jobinrv | Thanks bioterror, Amijai! Got it! | 13:17 |
| bioterror | /usr/lib64/python2.7/dist-packages/CommandNotFound/CommandNotFound.py | 13:17 |

| Petskull | I want to reach files on a USB drive (always on/connected) via ftp. I tried 'ln -ds <path_usb>' to make symlinks, but they don't show up in the ftp. Then, of course, ln -d to a usb drive failed. Any ideas? | 23:35 |
