[05:43] <gypsy_blood> hello
[05:45] <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?
[06:53] <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?
[07:11] <geirha> could you post the exact error message?
[07:19] <HoboSteaux> geirha: epends: python (< 2.7) but 2.7.2-10 is to be installed
[07:32] <geirha> HoboSteaux: Ah.  apt-cache policy python
[07:32] <geirha> Here, that only lists 2.7.3
[07:33] <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
[07:34] <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
[07:35] <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?
[07:38] <geirha> man apt_preferences
[07:39] <HoboSteaux> say ty
[07:39] <geirha> in short you edit /etc/apt/preferences and give it a priority of > 1000
[07:40] <geirha> Ah, there's a howto at the wiki. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto   with examples
[07:42] <HoboSteaux> i think i got it done :D
[07:42] <HoboSteaux> thank you!
[07:46] <geirha> Oh it worked? I'd expect breakage. Anyway, you're welcome.
[07:51] <HoboSteaux> not yet, still mucking with it. but i think i can pull this off and then revert
[17:28] <bizhanMona> HI is there a tool I can find out the license of all the packages installed on my Ubuntu 12.04? thx
[17:31] <Sidewinder1> bizhanMona, "All", if there is such a thing (I'm not sure one way or the other), would probably list several hundred packages.
[17:32] <Sidewinder1> I'm just guessing, mind you, but I would suspect that most if not all are under the GPL.
[17:33] <bizhanMona> Sidewinder1: yes I am aware of that, however, I need to find out all the installed packages specially for GPLV3 versions.
[17:35] <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.
[17:36] <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
[17:37] <Sidewinder1> bizhanMona, My pleasure; I just wish I could've been of more assistance.
[18:12] <bizhanMona> hi I have downloaded a ubuntu package manually to my system,  xxx_am64.deb,  How could I install this package?
[18:13] <meditatingfrog> bizhanMona: sudo dpkg -i xxx_am64.deb
[18:13] <meditatingfrog> bizhanMona: i think you can also double click it
[18:15] <bizhanMona> that did it thanks so much
[18:20] <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?
[18:25] <cortman> apt-get --no-install-recommends install package_name bizhanMona
[18:26] <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
[18:27] <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
[18:28] <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?
[18:29] <bizhanMona> I was trying to install a new deb package.
[18:30] <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?
[18:31] <cortman> Do you know the name of the package bizhanMona ?
[18:32] <cortman> If so you can run dpkg -P package_name
[18:32] <bizhanMona> ubuntu-core
[18:33] <bizhanMona> sorry lubuntu-core
[18:34] <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.
[18:35] <cortman> no porb bizhanMona
[18:43] <cortman> *prob
[18:45] <penreturns> :)

[20:11] <bizhanMona> Hi I get the following ssh error on newly install ubuntu: when I try to ssh from outside to the ubuntu box I get this error: ssh: connect to host 10.35.207.137 port 22: Connection refused, but I can ssh to outside from ubuntu? Thx
[20:18] <kanliot> INSTALL openssh-server
[20:19] <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
[20:26] <bizhanMona> kanliot: yes I figured that I forgot to select that option and after installing openssh-server things worked find. Thx
