[07:21] <john-auggie> So, I can't get updates because I keep getting this message: 'E:Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list (dist)'
[07:21] <john-auggie> what to do?
[07:22] <coolbhavi> john-auggie, paste your sources.list in a pastebin pls
[07:24] <IlikeMoose> im just getting used to ubuntu i had installed debian but the solution to getting my network adapter to work was more difficult than installing ubuntu
[07:25] <IlikeMoose> i'm having a problem with my cd-rom drive however i was hoping someone in here could help
[07:25] <Krytarik> john-auggie, Or just paste the first line, "line 1", of the mentioned file "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list" here.
[07:27] <Krytarik> IlikeMoose, obviously, you'd need to tell what exactly an issue you have with your CD drive.
[07:29] <IlikeMoose> what should i do if ubuntu either temporarily reads an audio disc but won't play it in rhythmbox sometimes it spins up the disc and won't spindown or eject the cd
[07:29] <IlikeMoose> i installed ubuntu just fine using this drive however
[07:30] <IlikeMoose> it just seems to not like my breakbeats :)
[07:30] <john-auggie> deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/stable_main
[07:32] <IlikeMoose> also can someone recommend any good ubuntu books that i can pick up from amazon?
[07:37] <john-auggie> So, I can't get updates because I keep getting this message: 'E:Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list (dist)' and line 1 is: deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/stable_main
[07:37] <john-auggie> help?
[07:39] <Krytarik> john-auggie, you may not have got my previous message, dropped connection on my side: edit that file with "gksudo FILENAME", remove the underline between "stable" and "main", save it, and update via "sudo apt-get update", or whatever package manager you want to use.
[07:39] <john-auggie> thanks!
[07:42] <IlikeMoose> what should i do if ubuntu either temporarily reads an audio disc but won't play it in rhythmbox sometimes it spins up the disc and won't spindown or eject the cd
[07:43] <Krytarik> IlikeMoose, did you get my previously sent message?: does the same -CDs- work with other OS'es then? As for your other question, their are lots of free resources and downloadable books (PDFs or HTML) available at the internet - you want some tips there?
[07:44] <Krytarik> *on the internet
[07:46] <IlikeMoose> didn't get the last message, the cd works in other pc's in windows but i can't check other os's on this pc since it's only running ubuntu. also, i'd rather have books in hand but if all the books out there suck then i'll take down the net resources.
[07:48] <IlikeMoose> also what's a good terminal application to install, it seems they left out a terminal app in the desktop installation
[07:49] <Krytarik> IlikeMoose, it seems like it's a hardware issue with you CD drive. For printed books about Ubuntu, I'd just browse Amazon and focus in top sellers, that's usually a good idea.
[07:49] <IlikeMoose> as to my first question, i know the cd's are good 100%
[07:50] <IlikeMoose> the only thing that bothers me with it being a hardware issue Krytarik is that it's the same drive i used to do the install and it was flawless
[07:50] <IlikeMoose> not a single glitch on the install
[07:51] <Krytarik> Different CDs, that is. ;-)
[07:57] <IlikeMoose> ok well one last question.... i know terminal (gnome-terminal) is installed but i can't seem to find it in the gui to access it any suggestions??
[07:59] <IlikeMoose> i'm trying to search the file system for terminal
[08:00] <Krytarik> IlikeMoose, sorry, missed to answer that question, what session are you using, the default Ubuntu session, i.e. Unity or something else?
[08:00] <IlikeMoose> default ubuntu session i guess....
[08:02] <Krytarik> Hit the the Dash button, with the Ubuntu logo, and type "term", then you'd see it already.
[08:02] <IlikeMoose> i'll be damned
[08:02] <IlikeMoose> thanks :)
[08:02] <Krytarik> LOL :D, NP
[08:06] <IlikeMoose> i have a kindle...where are these pdf's you mentioned Krytarik ?
[08:07] <Krytarik> Give me a sec.
[08:08] <Krytarik> For example, here, also available in multiple languages: http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[08:11] <IlikeMoose> i need offline stuff Krytarik , i tend to tinker with operating systems to the point sometimes of knocking myself offline, scrambling the kernel and worse
[08:11] <IlikeMoose> but this is a good start :)
[08:13] <Krytarik> IlikeMoose, you've seen that you can download that!?
[08:13] <IlikeMoose> yaya i'm reading it now, thats why i said it's a good start
[08:13] <IlikeMoose> :)
[08:14] <Krytarik> Oki doki. :-)
[08:14] <Krytarik> There are surely many other good ones, but right now, I've nothing else at hand. :-)
[08:16] <IlikeMoose> this is a good start i'll cross-reference it with the table of contents in the books on amazon and see what's missing that i need to learn about
[08:17] <Krytarik> Ok, IlikeMoose. :-)
[08:20] <Krytarik> IlikeMoose, concerning the command line, you should fine some downloadable PDF in this wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandLineResources
[08:21] <IlikeMoose> nice

[14:54] <ubuntu86643> Hi there, I'm new to ubuntu and would like to add debian packages to ubuntu 12.10 ... I have the lauchpad file but cannot find the debian package .... how do i install on my system , sorry in advance (n00b)
[14:58] <raubvogel> ubuntu86643: I really do not know how to use the launchpad thingie, but a lot of times I just google package name and ubuntu and find info on said package.
[14:59] <raubvogel> or aptitude search package-name
[14:59] <ubuntu86643> raubvogel: thanx ..
[14:59] <raubvogel> The reason I do the google thingie is because many times I want to see which files are in the said package
[15:00] <raubvogel> and which repository it belongs to
[15:07] <ubuntu86643> raubvogel: Can you take me through the process to install INKSCAPE as I am unable to do it successfully, please.#
[15:10] <raubvogel> ubuntu86643: How did you try to install it?
[15:13] <ubuntu86643> apt-get install inkscape .... didn't work , thenm i found a package for debian, I couldn't compile it, then i tried to add a software source, and it didn't let me ... so i dunno, i really am hopeless.
[15:13] <raubvogel> You did type "sudo apt-get install inkscape" right?
[15:13] <ubuntu86643> i'll try it...
[15:13] <raubvogel> Could you pastebin the error message?
[15:14] <ubuntu86643> but im probably not permissions or something ...hang-on ...
[15:14] <raubvogel> That would do it
[15:15] <ubuntu86643> i think i have it .. wait a second ...
[15:16] <ubuntu86643> i cant find it when i look for it in the ubuntu search software panel ....
[15:16] <ubuntu86643> how do i do pastebin ??
[15:17] <raubvogel> go to www.pastebin.com or www.pastie.org
[15:17] <raubvogel> Paste everything from the time you typed apt-get install to when it gets back to the prompt
[15:18] <ubuntu86643> http://pastebin.com/hWDYH51g i think ...
[15:18] <raubvogel> Yeah
[15:18] <Sidewinder1> ubuntu86643, I believe that Inkscape is in the standard repositories; have you tried in Synaptic? It's (Synaptic) no longer installed by default, but I have always found it superior to Software Center..
[15:19] <ubuntu86643> how do i do that , please ??
[15:19] <Sidewinder1> Just my opinion.
[15:19] <raubvogel> ubuntu86643: 12.04?
[15:19] <ubuntu86643> 12.10
[15:20] <Sidewinder1> Go to Software Center; install Synaptic Package Manager. Then, in Synaptic, search/install Inkscape,..
[15:21] <ubuntu86643> its installing the Synaptic Package Manager
[15:21] <Sidewinder1> 12.10 Isn't even released yet and is not supported here, really. Perhaps try the #ubuntu+1 channel.
[15:21] <raubvogel> According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/inkscape, it is inthe main distro
[15:21] <ubuntu86643> sorry 12.04 then.
[15:21] <Sidewinder1> ubuntu86643, Then, for 12.04, my instructions above should work.
[15:21] <raubvogel> Sidewinder1: it still is in main. Dunno why he is not seeing it. Can he do apt-get upgrade or something like that?
[15:22] <raubvogel> Sidewinder1: yeah, unfortunately I do not use synaptic/software center much
[15:22] <Sidewinder1> raubvogel, Yes, apt-get should work as well.
[15:24] <raubvogel> Since it is in main, only thing I can think of is he needs to update the package list or something
[15:24] <ubuntu86643> ok Synaptic Package Manager... is installing inkscape ... but i really wanted to use apt-get .. hang-on some-it' is happening ....
[15:25] <raubvogel> apt-get is nicer if you are always in command line; which is where I am most of the time
[15:25] <ubuntu86643> i have inkscape .. thankyou ... everyone ....
[15:26] <ubuntu86643> ?me slides raubvogel and Sidewinder1 a cold beer !
[15:26]  * ubuntu86643 slides raubvogel and Sidewinder1 a cold beer !
[15:26] <Sidewinder1> My pleasure; I'm glad to've helped. :0
[15:26]  * Sidewinder1 Guzzles the beer.
[15:27] <ubuntu86643> is there a magical place where i get to see all the cool ubuntu packages that can be installed for a noobie ???
[15:27] <raubvogel> ubuntu86643: soon *you* will be helping someone! Be afraid!
[15:28] <raubvogel> synaptic should show the list.
[15:28] <ubuntu86643> ok thank-you.
[15:30] <Sidewinder1> Just select "All", in Synaptic; probably about 35,000 of 'em..
[15:30] <Sidewinder1> That oughta' keep 'im busy.
[15:41] <ubuntu86643> it is ... im on the documentation .. which should last a couple of hours ...
[15:42] <ubuntu86643> I esp. like the debian administrators handbook ... i have downloaded it ... but cant find it on my system ...
[15:42] <ubuntu86643> Sidewinder1: How do i do this ??
[15:43] <ubuntu86643> BRBack ... coffee required ...
[15:45] <ubuntu86643> raubvogel: You see my question ??
[15:50] <raju> duanedesign,  how to clear the python shell ?
[15:50] <duanedesign> raju: hmm, good question
[15:51] <raju> tried clear() , but its wrong
[15:53] <duanedesign> raju: import os
[15:53] <duanedesign> os.system('clear')
[15:54] <raju> duanedesign,  done :D , thank you
[15:55] <raju> coolbhavi,  yo busy man
[15:55] <raubvogel> ubuntu86643: which question? Sidewinder1 gave you a possible answer for how to get a list of programs you can get for ubuntu
[15:56] <ubuntu86643> it was for the debian administrators handbook .. but i cant find it once it has downloaded using "synaptic"  .... not sure.
[15:57] <raubvogel> How did you download it?
[15:57] <raubvogel> synaptic?
[15:57] <ubuntu86643> it was in the synaptic under "documentation"
[15:58] <raubvogel> Do you know how the file itself is called?
[15:58] <ubuntu86643> no .. just debian administrators handbook
[15:58] <ubuntu86643> .pdf
[15:58] <ubuntu86643> can i find it using terminal ??
[15:59] <raubvogel> ubuntu86643: See if you have a directory called /usr/share/doc/debian-handbook
[16:02] <ubuntu86643> raubvogel: no .. its not there ... just debian files   .... no luck :(
[21:44] <bodhi_zazen> duanedesign: poke
[21:44] <bodhi_zazen> you get my PM on the forums ?
[21:54] <nlsthzn> o/ all you crazy people
[21:54] <Unit193> Howdy, how can we help?
[21:55] <nlsthzn> My computer is struggling with deb files... keeps trying to search the internet for an app that can run it?!
[21:56] <nlsthzn> I know it is powerfull enough... it has an i7
[21:57] <nlsthzn> How are you doing Unit193?
[21:58] <nlsthzn> How are you doing Unit193 ?
[21:58] <Unit193> Burnt.  As in when you double click?  What program searches anywho?
[21:58] <nlsthzn> Yup... Could it be because I am using 64-bit?
[21:59] <nlsthzn> Burnt? Sun?
[22:00] <Unit193> Wouldn't think so, try doing a dpkg-reconfigure on gdebi(-gkt) if you have that installed, that should be handleing it.  Yes, was outside all day yesterday.
[22:01] <nlsthzn> :/ I would have thought this wouldn't be needed with the Ultimate edition :(
[22:02] <Unit193> Ultimate edition isn't exactly Ubuntu, and who knows what they put.
[22:02] <nlsthzn> Ubuntu? Oh... this isn't #windows-beginners... my bad
[22:02] <nlsthzn> Unit193 seems to be sleepy today
[22:03] <Unit193> I was thinking http://ultimateedition.info :P
[22:03] <Unit193> Well, you *can* open it with 7zip. :P
[22:04] <nlsthzn> I know :) - Waiting for the latest Gaming edition of that one :)
[22:04] <nlsthzn> 7-zip will open a deb file... awesome
[22:04] <nlsthzn> I didn't know that
[22:04] <Unit193> You didn't indicate it was windows, I was assuming Ubuntu/Unity. :P
[22:05] <nlsthzn> I know... I was just messing with you...
[22:06] <nlsthzn> but I got to go... get some after sun lotion and stay cool Unit193
[22:06] <Unit193> Heh, have a nice one.
