[00:25] How do I know if Firefox Add-ons are safe to install? [00:28] earthling_, here is a question page from mozilla. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/faq [00:28] that question is addressed [00:28] ty [00:29] no problem [00:36] do you know where add-ons are installed? [00:36] you mean physically? i would look in the ~/.mozzilla or whtever FF stores things [00:38] .mozilla/firefox/%profile%/extensions/ [00:44] I don't see any profile folder [00:45] earthling_: i would just poke around in what you do see [00:46] I see extensions folder with .api files [00:46] xpi I mean [00:46] earthling_: i would expect to find things relating to FF in that directory [00:48] that must be them [00:48] interesting they say chrome [00:49] do you use add-ons? [00:49] i dont use firefox [00:49] though, it is pretty nice again [00:49] chromium? [00:50] i use chrome [00:50] on ubuntu? [00:50] on most everything [00:50] I thought chromium was the linux version of chrome [00:51] or open source at least [00:51] its fast.. the sync works well, and chrome has its own flash version, which is the last place flash will be supported on linux [00:51] earthling_: chrome is not open source, it just works well for me [00:52] chromium is nice, but there were a few glithces and with the flash issue, i decided to use chrome [00:52] nothing wrong with firefox [00:52] I like chromium, never tried chrome [00:52] it feels faster than firefox for me [00:53] do you use extensions for chrome? [00:53] i wish i didnt need flash at all... id just get with chromium [00:53] earthling_: i use a few [00:53] how do you know if they are safe? [00:53] i trust the creators [00:54] plus, you have to define "safe" [00:54] that they aren't malware,adware,spyware,etc... [00:55] I assume ubuntu is more secure than windows [00:56] yeah?... assume nothing [00:56] I just wonder how bad an extension/add-on could be [00:56] check for your self, and turst who you trust [00:56] hehe prepare for the worst, expect the best [00:56] we (ubuntu, cannonical, you, me) dont make firefox or any add-ons [00:57] there is a signing method to packages in the repos for ubuntu that make then "trustworthy" [00:57] as much as you trust the repos... can a "bad" package get in? i suppose [00:57] am i worried about it? no [00:57] yeah, not extensions and add-ons though I think , although Firefox has an approval process [00:58] and perhaps Chrome has one too [00:58] earthling_: just clear up that "perhaps" and you are good to go [00:58] ok :) [00:58] this is almost all open, and free, meaning *anyone* can look and check and see, and ask [00:59] add-ons and extensions are not open source I think, except perhaps to the approval people [01:00] First time on chat, and I don't see instructs. on how it works. So how do I get to post/chat? [01:03] bud1: you type, and hit enter... you are doing well so far [01:04] bud1: chec the topic of the channels you join [01:04] bud1: welcome! [01:04] earthling_: AFAIK, you can have open ones if you want to write an open one [01:04] Thanks. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with kde desktop. where can I find these two programs that will Ubuntu and kde? I cannot find them in the Ubuntu backports: notecase and treesheets are the two programs. [01:05] bud1: what are you looking for? [01:06] these to programs: notecase and treesheets [01:07] holstein, probably true [01:07] bud1: i would open up the package manager of your choice and search for them [01:08] that was the first thing I did along with searching backports for kubuntu and the web. [01:10] bud1: they might not be in the repos... i'll look... [01:13] notecase is not there [01:13] Tell me how to get to the ubuntu repos? [01:14] ?.. you open a package manager and search it [01:14] you are using it now [01:14] have a good night fellas, keep up the good work! [01:16] ?.. you open a package manager and search it, I can find the repos in package manager? [01:16] bud1: the package manager searches the online repos [01:16] bud1: when you open a package manager and search, you are accessing the repos [01:18] I knew that when using ubuntu 10 but I'm using 1204 and I can't see it in the resipotories [01:18] bud1: right, its been removed [01:19] http://www.notecasepro.com/download.php is where my search leads [01:19] Before using 10 I could go to the repos website and download. Will that work for 1204? [01:19] http://treesheets.com/ has ubuntu packages [01:20] bud1: it the developers support 12.04 it will.. i would just try it [01:20] I'm not following you, try what? [01:23] Bud1: this is my first time on the channel as well. As far as I know, one of the main places I find progs that aren't in the distros. is http://sourceforge.net. [01:25] I tried here to. Hey thanks a bunch, lots luck to u! [01:25] bud1: try installing the packages [01:25] What packages? [01:26] bud1: the 2 you are asking about... treesheets and notecasepro, which is what is suggested now instead of notecase [01:26] Bud1, have you tried the Aptitude Package Manager it 12.04 LTS? [01:27] holstein, thanks but like I said that was the first thing I tried. Thanks again. [01:28] bud1: what were the errors? [01:28] bud1: you tried downloading from the pages i linked and installing? [01:28] they wont be in the repos, you'll need to download and install.. you can report errors as needed [01:29] holstein, notecase is nolonger on the forge and I can't find a treesheet package for Ub.1204. [01:31] SeaDaddy46, " have you tried the Aptitude Package Manager it 12.04 LTS?" Thanks SeaDaddy46 I will give that a try! [01:31] bud1: notecase is notecasepro now.. [01:31] bud1: those packages are not in the repos [01:32] Thanks, but it is so slow I removed it. [01:33] http://www.notecasepro.com/get.php?ub12.04/notecase-pro_3.6.8_i386.deb is for 32bit ubuntu 12.04 [01:33] bud1: have you tried this link? https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/treesheets/ [01:33] bud1: if you have the old .deb you can try it, but i would expect the new version to be just that, the new version [01:34] holstein, I tried the old ver. no good, it wont even try to install it. [01:35] bud1: then, i would ask the maintainers what to do with the newer version if it has bugs [01:36] eaDaddy46, yes I went there and tried to get my software installer to install treesheets and it refused. [01:36] bud1: what errors? [01:36] enjoy! gtg... [01:37] the error was "reinstall", thats what I got evertime I tried. [01:38] Thanks for all the help! [01:59] bud1: I just used Ubuntu Software Center, and it worked just fine. I did have to create a Ubuntu Single Sign-on acct. [02:01] Ubuntu Software Center said I had to buy the software, but the price was $0.00. As soon as I clicked on the Buy (instead of Install) button, I had to sign into Ubuntu Single Sign-on, then everything work like normal. [02:05] After playing around with treesheets to be sure it actually did install correctly, and worked, (everything worked fine!) I think I want to leave it installed, and use it for some of my storyline editing. Thanks for asking about Treesheets. [02:15] So... [02:15] I am trying to get gametable working... it seems not to, although it should just be a java program... [02:20] http://gametableproj.sourceforge.net/ is the java program in question. I'm trying to run it with OpenJDK Java 7 runtime and tried 6 too.... === Chatter364 is now known as earthling_ [03:05] So... anyone know how I can get gametable up and running? Would it be a problem with Java? Or am I just missing something obvious? [03:10] sorry i dont know what gametable is [03:13] http://gametableproj.sourceforge.net/http://gametableproj.sourceforge.net/ [03:13] It's a virtual gametable or whiteboard.. java based [03:14] It runs fine on my windows machine at home, but my laptop doesn't seem to like it. [03:53] I want to list all files that were modified today. Will this work: ls -lR / | grep '2012-08-04' [03:53] don't want to list all files again, takes awhile [04:28] hrm, strange command [04:28] earthling_: have you tried that? [04:29] it seems to work [04:29] earthling_: gerat [04:30] HiddenSanity: could it run under wine? [04:30] indeed, now I'm trying to pause it [04:30] It's Java... haven't tried WINE for that. [04:33] earthling_: pause with ctrl+z [04:35] HiddenSanity: jar file? [04:35] I set that for a keyboard shortcut with gnome [04:36] earthling_: oh, well that is key to pause a runnign process. to kill it first find it with ps aux | grep ls [04:37] then sudo kill -9 pid [04:37] oh [04:37] yes [04:37] pid being the process id listed from the ps command [04:37] HiddenSanity: what is name of jar file? [04:37] gametable.jar [04:40] HiddenSanity: have you tried command: java -jar gametable.jar? [04:41] Not yet... I wasn't aware that was a thing. [04:41] In terminal, I assume? [04:42] HiddenSanity: yes [04:42] HiddenSanity: if you get an error that is long paste it into paste.ubuntu.com and paste url here [04:42] hrm wonder if there is a facto for that [04:42] !paste [04:42] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [04:43] sweet [04:43] hey, it works, thank you. [04:43] That how I always need to run it? [04:43] aye [04:44] well i dont know what this game/tool is so i cant say for sure but for now it works, seems there is a forum at that link you posted. try there http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/gametableproj/ [04:55] stlsaint, can I show only executable files? [04:55] earthling_: ? [04:55] oh [04:55] a command for LS [04:55] earthling_: something like [04:55] don't see any in man page [04:55] earthling_: ls -la *.exe [04:55] don't think that works [04:55] earthling_: that will list all .exe in current dir [04:56] again...in current dir [04:56] ls: cannot access *.exe: No such file or directory [04:56] I'm trying to find out if a firefox add-on install programs on my computer other than the firefox directory [04:56] i doubt it [04:56] in any case you need the find command [04:56] so many executable files are created in a day, I guess normal activity [04:57] not on linux [04:57] no .exe are create within any *nix machine without being manually created [04:57] try this ls -lR / | grep '2012-08-04' [04:57] o_O [04:57] seems to show alot of executables [04:58] what do you mean by executables [04:58] srwxr-xr-x [04:58] is that executable file permissions? [05:00] alot of directories are created [05:00] I guess they're considered executable [05:00] so you mean files are executables, not the .exe extension as in widnows? [05:00] well in that case have fun lol [05:01] too many -x files to sort through with that...i dont think thats a very effective way to find what you are looking for [05:01] as I understand it, files are executable if they have certain permissions [05:01] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_permissions [05:01] I have installed Gnome-Shell . How can I remove it from the Recovery Mode. [05:02] I am usually use LXDE due to my slow configured computer. [05:02] shahan: no need to be in recovery mode [05:02] its 12.04 [05:02] if you have another DE installed than use that DE and remove gnome-shell [05:02] stlsaint: I have no option. Because the [05:03] stlsaint: Gnome shell not loading. And it has become the default [05:03] shahan: so change it [05:03] now I have only option is the recovery mode.

[05:08] should be able to just purge shell, except i would not recommend that until you install something that you knwo works [05:08] first remove the autologin option [05:09] that is what you want to do [05:09] remove option to autologin [05:09] stlsaint: I already have the installed LXDE [05:09] yes... not to remove the autologin option?

[05:25] stlsaint: how to open the lightdm.conf file in recovery mode? [05:25] shahan: nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [05:32] shahan: ? [05:32] did it work?

[05:42] ctrl+o if you are in nano as i said earlier [05:46] stlsaint: it doesn't save [05:46] stlsaint: it says that its a read only file [05:48] stlsaint: wow... I have solved the issue in another way... tnx [05:48] stlsaint: I have sudo mount -n -o remount / [05:49] then sudo apt-get remove gnome shell [05:49] its solved the issue [05:49] now the gnome classic is loading [05:49] now I can do graphically [05:49] cool [05:49] I am going to login into the #ubuntu with that PC now [05:49] bye for now :) [05:49] glad to have ti worked out [06:02] Can anyone help me with an internal-mic issue?
