| gypsy_blood | hello | 05:43 |
|---|---|---|
| gypsy_blood | i am trying to get a game to work, and the network ports it requires are between 55296 - 55551 and when i do a search of available ports in the Terminal, no ports are found in that range, any way to make a new port? | 05:45 |
| HoboSteaux | Python: 2.6, 2.7, and 3.x are installed, apt keeps complaining that 2.6 can not be found. Can manually show apt where 2.6 is? | 06:53 |
| geirha | could you post the exact error message? | 07:11 |
| HoboSteaux | geirha: epends: python (< 2.7) but 2.7.2-10 is to be installed | 07:19 |
| geirha | HoboSteaux: Ah. apt-cache policy python | 07:32 |
| geirha | Here, that only lists 2.7.3 | 07:32 |
| geirha | whatever package you're trying to install should've rather depended on the python2.6 package instead of python | 07:33 |
| HoboSteaux | I have 2.7 and 2.6 listed, but in different repos | 07:33 |
| geirha | ah, but the 2.7 will take priority since it's a newer version | 07:34 |
| HoboSteaux | hrm and somethings depend on each O.o | 07:34 |
| geirha | you can give the 2.6 version a higher priority, but there might be other packages expecting python to be 2.7 and thus break | 07:35 |
| HoboSteaux | how do I do that? | 07:35 |
| geirha | man apt_preferences | 07:38 |
| HoboSteaux | say ty | 07:39 |
| geirha | in short you edit /etc/apt/preferences and give it a priority of > 1000 | 07:39 |
| geirha | Ah, there's a howto at the wiki. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto with examples | 07:40 |
| HoboSteaux | i think i got it done :D | 07:42 |
| HoboSteaux | thank you! | 07:42 |
| geirha | Oh it worked? I'd expect breakage. Anyway, you're welcome. | 07:46 |
| HoboSteaux | not yet, still mucking with it. but i think i can pull this off and then revert | 07:51 |

| bizhanMona | HI is there a tool I can find out the license of all the packages installed on my Ubuntu 12.04? thx | 17:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | bizhanMona, "All", if there is such a thing (I'm not sure one way or the other), would probably list several hundred packages. | 17:31 |
| Sidewinder1 | I'm just guessing, mind you, but I would suspect that most if not all are under the GPL. | 17:32 |
| bizhanMona | Sidewinder1: yes I am aware of that, however, I need to find out all the installed packages specially for GPLV3 versions. | 17:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | bizhanMona, I'm not certain of the command structure of what you're looking for; might I suggest that if, after a few minutes, no one answers here, that you try in the #ubuntu channel? There are many, many more people in there. | 17:35 |
| Sidewinder1 | Currently 1,664. | 17:35 |
| bizhanMona | Sidewinder1: I was hoping if there are any options to apt tool sets. I follow your recommandation will post on ubuntu if I heard nothing here. thx | 17:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | bizhanMona, My pleasure; I just wish I could've been of more assistance. | 17:37 |
| bizhanMona | hi I have downloaded a ubuntu package manually to my system, xxx_am64.deb, How could I install this package? | 18:12 |
| meditatingfrog | bizhanMona: sudo dpkg -i xxx_am64.deb | 18:13 |
| meditatingfrog | bizhanMona: i think you can also double click it | 18:13 |
| bizhanMona | that did it thanks so much | 18:15 |
| bizhanMona | The command "apt-get -f install" list package dependencies plus recommended packages. If I do not want the recommended packages to be install is there an option to it? | 18:20 |
| cortman | apt-get --no-install-recommends install package_name bizhanMona | 18:25 |
| bizhanMona | cortman: Thx, I just typed the apt-get -f install without the option you suggested, how could I reverse that and restart all over again? | 18:26 |
| cortman | No | 18:26 |
| cortman | You're best off just installing the recommends anyway, unless you have a real good reason not to | 18:26 |
| bizhanMona | I want to be as minimalistic possible. this is for an embedded system | 18:27 |
| cortman | ah | 18:27 |
| cortman | you could try and purge the package and reinstall it | 18:27 |
| cortman | apt-get purge package_name | 18:27 |
| cortman | Then install with no-recommends | 18:27 |
| cortman | If you want all your package installations to be no-recommends, you can add a line to /etc/apt/apt.conf | 18:28 |
| bizhanMona | I just typed: "apt-get -f install" | 18:28 |
| cortman | That's to fix broken packages | 18:28 |
| cortman | are you fixing or installing new? | 18:28 |
| bizhanMona | I was trying to install a new deb package. | 18:29 |
| bizhanMona | I started with precision 12.04 | 18:30 |
| cortman | Right | 18:30 |
| bizhanMona | so is there a way to undo it or I better off to start all over? | 18:30 |
| cortman | Do you know the name of the package bizhanMona ? | 18:31 |
| cortman | If so you can run dpkg -P package_name | 18:32 |
| bizhanMona | ubuntu-core | 18:32 |
| bizhanMona | sorry lubuntu-core | 18:33 |
| cortman | Try purging it with the command I gave you and then reinstall it. | 18:34 |
| bizhanMona | cortman: thanks for you help, will do that. | 18:34 |
| cortman | no porb bizhanMona | 18:35 |
| cortman | *prob | 18:43 |
| penreturns | :) | 18:45 |

| kanliot | INSTALL openssh-server | 20:18 |
| kanliot | bizhanMona, i feel bad coz i told you to start with the minimal cd | 20:19 |
| kanliot | if you had started with ubuntu server, youd have that package and others | 20:19 |
| bizhanMona | kanliot: yes I figured that I forgot to select that option and after installing openssh-server things worked find. Thx | 20:26 |
