| jjseeker | Hi I'm back again with another question if that's okay | 06:28 |

| jjseeker | I would like to know if it's worth the time to learn how to install packages from .tar.gz files vs just getting the .deb package | 06:30 |
| jjseeker | if that makes any sense | 06:30 |
| wilee-nilee | jjseeker, Rarely do you need a tar install, you want to see if what your looking for is in the repos first. | 06:33 |
| geirha | Yes and no. You'll learn abit on how software gets built, but it generally gets messy, and the software will be hard to uninstall. | 06:34 |
| geirha | Oh, he left | 06:34 |
| wilee-nilee | tarred and feathered | 06:34 |
| regor | I'm having multiple issues popping up so, I'm not sure where to start. Now that things have settled down a bit and I can get online, my first issue is with my hp printer! It prints fine but scanning software say's no scanners present? | 09:14 |
| regor | BTW...this all started when I upgraded to unbuntu 13! | 09:15 |
| regor | morning pip__ | 09:47 |
| pip__ | hello | 09:48 |
| pip__ | quiet in here... | 09:48 |
| regor | yeah...it is. you come in here a lot? | 09:49 |
| pip__ | only when I need something | 09:49 |
| regor | :) | 09:49 |
| regor | is it usually this quiet this time of the day? | 09:49 |
| pip__ | I usually try the forums - a bust t the moment clearly - first | 09:49 |
| pip__ | I'm not on this early mostly, but it's a little busier most times I'd say | 09:50 |
| regor | yeah, spent a lot of time there myself | 09:50 |
| regor | is this place for beginners to learn about linux OS or beginners to get help with issues? | 09:51 |
| pip__ | I'd say both, possibly more on the issues side | 09:52 |
| regor | :) well then I got the tight place! | 09:52 |
| pip__ | the ubuntu channel gets pretty hectic as i recall | 09:53 |
| pip__ | so I try here as it's a bit quieter | 09:53 |
| pip__ | :) | 09:53 |
| regor | i'm logged in there too! | 09:53 |
| pip__ | :D | 09:53 |
| regor | they are way over my head! | 09:53 |
| pip__ | me too | 09:53 |
| regor | last time I played with linux was when mandrake just came out! | 09:54 |
| regor | am I showing my age? :) | 09:54 |
| pip__ | wow, is that quite a while ago? | 09:54 |
| regor | several years. | 09:54 |
| pip__ | yeah, I think. It became Mandriva & then something else I think | 09:55 |
| pip__ | from what I hear the whole GNU/Linux thing is more people friendly these days | 09:55 |
| pip__ | most of the time :) | 09:55 |
| regor | yep...your right...mandriva. When I was looking for a new distro, I found out how long ago mandrake really was! | 09:56 |
| pip__ | lol | 09:56 |
| regor | linux has come a long way sine those days | 09:56 |
| regor | since | 09:56 |
| regor | has gotten more user friendly | 09:57 |
| regor | more...GUI | 09:57 |
| pip__ | It's improved greatly since I started using it | 09:57 |
| pip__ | exactly | 09:57 |
| regor | how long you been playing with it? | 09:57 |
| pip__ | how long have you been using again - sounds like the wrong place to ask that actually lol | 09:58 |
| pip__ | using linux | 09:58 |
| regor | :) | 09:58 |
| regor | yes | 09:58 |
| regor | I guess I should have said "using" it! | 09:59 |
| pip__ | it was my bad, I made it sound like a 12 step channel | 09:59 |
| regor | I just like to play around with linux and see what it can do | 09:59 |
| regor | it's seems like real "computing" to me! | 10:00 |
| regor | not just clicking on icons | 10:00 |
| pip__ | can you explain? | 10:00 |
| regor | i'm an old DOS user....guess I like the command line! | 10:00 |
| pip__ | I'm scared of it, but getting there & I agree, it feels more "hands on" | 10:02 |
| regor | When I played around with DOS, I used to set up the boot process so it would load one line at a time. I could see how things were loading and I could hit "enter" each time for another command! Maybe I'm just a control freak! :) | 10:03 |
| pip__ | lol, maybe, but it's an excellent way to learn how a computwer system really works | 10:04 |
| regor | :) exactly! | 10:04 |
| pip__ | :D | 10:05 |
| pip__ | regor; I gotta go - real world stuff | 10:05 |
| pip__ | catch you soon bud, welcome to the community | 10:05 |
| regor | got ya...take care and stay out of trouble! | 10:05 |
| pip__ | :D | 10:05 |
| pip__ | u know it | 10:05 |
| pip__ | !!! | 10:05 |
| regor | :) later | 10:05 |

| [1]tom | hello | 18:20 |
| [1]tom | an older version of ubuntu (10.04) is advised for my colleges robotics club | 18:22 |
| [1]tom | but when setting up the dual boot on my laptop i've run into some issues installing the build-essential packages | 18:22 |
| [1]tom | is there anyone who might be able to help? | 18:22 |
| Unit193 | 10.04 has gone EOL for the desktop, though. | 18:24 |
| [1]tom | would you recommend trying to use a later version? last year i tried using 12.x with out success | 18:25 |
| [1]tom | got lost in dependency hell with the packages they wanted us to use | 18:25 |
| [1]tom | but at least i got the compiler and the internet working. | 18:26 |
| [1]tom | i think i have decided to go for a more recent version. any reason i shouldnt go with 13? i just might have better luck with back compatibility with a slightly older version, i'm thinking | 18:30 |
| krytarik | [1]tom: You should go with Ubuntu 12.04 then, as it's also a Long-Term Support version. | 18:38 |
| jjseeker | What happens to a file if I moved it to a directory that did not exist at the time? | 19:14 |
| jjseeker | Is it gone forever? | 19:15 |
| jjseeker | lol | 19:15 |
| jjseeker | Well I just started searching for it using find / | 19:18 |
| jjseeker | hopefully I'll find it | 19:18 |
| jjseeker | Hello | 19:39 |
| regor | good morning all! I logged in last night with a question about ubuntu 13. I've been getting several error messages popping up. Once things get quieted down, it seems to run fairly well but I am having issues with scanning on my hp printer. Ubuntu seems to print just fine, most of the time, but no scanner is recognized! any suggestions? | 21:48 |
| wilee-nilee | regor, You might try simple scan | 21:59 |
| regor | thanks wilee-nilee, but that's what I was trying! Then I tried Xsane, both of which detected no scanner! | 22:00 |
| wilee-nilee | regor, Is the scanner part of the HP? | 22:02 |
| regor | Yes, it's an all-in-one! | 22:02 |
| wilee-nilee | regor, Give ne the model and let me look around. | 22:02 |
| wilee-nilee | me* | 22:02 |
| regor | HP Photosmart 3210 All-In-One | 22:03 |
| wilee-nilee | regor, Here is some info take a look and see if any scanner references are there, it is listed as working in general in ubuntu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PhotoSmart3210 | 22:05 |
| regor | OK, thanks...brb | 22:06 |
| wilee-nilee | Doh I forgot the ubuntu forums are down. | 22:06 |
| wilee-nilee | regor, Which ubuntu release do you have installed 13.04? | 22:08 |
| regor | Mmm, I can see the printer setup process is what I did and even had it print a test page. But, when I followed the information about the scanner, I received, "libnetsnmp.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" which is the same error that pops up when I try to scan! Also, after I typed in the command and saw the response, I got a crash report pop up telling me that... | 22:14 |
| regor | ...the application makeuri.py has stopped! | 22:14 |
| regor | yes...13.04 | 22:15 |
| regor | after doing a lot of reading on this issue, I've come to the conclusion that 13.04 has many issues and the version I had, 12.04 has long term support, sooooo, maybe I should just start all over and reload 12.04! I mean, I'm not going to loose anything, this system is pretty new! | 22:21 |
| regor | and...12.04 worked great! | 22:22 |
