[16:33] <melodie> hi, what is the most efficient simple command line to get the name of "foo" packages installed?
[16:47] <wxl> melodie: you want to know all installed packages matching a particular pattern?
[16:52] <melodie> wxl we got a command line provided by someone on another chan, thanks
[16:52] <wxl> k cuz dpkg -l | grep foo ;)
[16:52] <wxl> which can be awk'd to your liking
[16:53] <melodie> no it is the package name we need
[16:53] <wxl> like i said you can awk to your liking
[16:53] <melodie> well?
[16:53] <wxl> dpkg -l | grep -i foo | awk '{print $2}'
[16:53] <melodie> dpkg -S nvidia  | cut -d":" -f1
[16:53] <melodie> this is what I have been said?
[16:54] <melodie> it is the full package name which needs to be left at the end
[16:54] <wxl> oh
[16:54] <wxl> package name sorry
[16:55] <wxl> honestly your command works like poop
[16:55] <wxl> use mine :)
[16:55] <melodie> oh
[16:55] <melodie> dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | awk '{print $2}'
[16:55] <melodie> ?
[16:55] <wxl> yep
[16:56] <wxl> oh wait
[16:56] <wxl> hold on
[16:56] <melodie> wxl can you come at #linuxvillage ?
[16:57] <melodie> I extracted jovando from the #ubuntu-kernel where he was trying to get help about newbie breakages
[16:59] <wxl> yeah that should work above
[16:59] <wxl> i can't sorry
[16:59] <melodie> ok
[17:15] <melodie> what is the right command line for a shutdown in a root console in Ubuntu, nowadays?
[17:48] <wxl> melodie: sudo shutdown -h now
[17:48] <wxl> tho you said root so nm the sudo ;)
[17:48] <melodie> wxl does that still work?
[17:48] <wxl> melodie: yep
[17:48] <melodie> ok
[17:48] <melodie> thank you
[18:31] <wxl> how do i mount a raid array so i can do password recovery on it with a live cd?
[18:33] <wxl> this is nto really a lubuntu question. maybe i'll head to ##linux or #ubuntu
[18:35] <bioterror> isnt it something like /dev/md0
[19:00] <junka> power management does not start
[19:00] <junka> I have to do it manually by clicking power manager from the menu
[19:02] <junka> Also, the desktop pager on the panel is wierd. Sometimes it is disappearing short of, or the colours are wierd. When I go to open Desktop Settings by right click on it, I get a msg about openbox crush
[19:04] <junka> Another thing is that still when I use a media player like the default gnome mplayer or vlc where the app resizes itself to fit the video resolation the video goes off screen like I have a bigger screen where I do not, I have a netbook
[19:10] <junka> dont be so eager to help out
[21:00] <wxl> bioterror: sudo apt-get install mdadm && sudo mdadm --assemble --scan and THEN you can mount md0 or md1
[21:00] <wxl> …just in case you wanted to know ;)
[22:33] <zleap> SergioMeneses, hi
[22:36] <SergioMeneses> hi zleap ! how are you?
[22:36] <zleap> good thanks
[22:36] <zleap> i just replied to your e-mail not sure if my suggestion is useful
[22:38] <SergioMeneses> zleap, = Paul right?
[22:38] <zleap> yeah
[22:38] <zleap> i take it you;re working on the pdf / printed manual
[22:38] <zleap> you're
[22:39] <zleap> pdf is good.,
[22:39] <SergioMeneses> zleap, I think we might work on both the pdf format and the wiki-page, dont you think?
[22:40] <zleap> yeah
[22:40] <zleap> but is there any reason why you can't take a how to on the wiki and just drop it in to what ever is being used to create the pdf
[22:40] <SergioMeneses> zleap, the pdf is always good because you might download it and use it without connection
[22:41] <zleap> http://zleap.net/lubuntu-time-and-date/
[22:41] <zleap> yeah
[22:41] <SergioMeneses> zleap, that is the idea! take information from differents "how to" add it to the manual
[22:41] <SergioMeneses> zleap, I saw it :D
[22:41] <zleap> ok
[22:41] <zleap> well i need to work on the other two how tos
[22:41] <zleap> one for unetbootln and the other for the new search facility in PCManFM
[22:41] <zleap> they are done, just need to go on the wiki
[22:42] <SergioMeneses> but zleap I call the contributors first... to know how many people are interesting to work with us on this project
[22:42] <SergioMeneses> zleap, that sounds great! I am the TL of the documentation project, if you need something, please let me know
[22:42] <zleap> yeah,  as i said if someone is able to simply grab what i have done,  its probably easier for them,  i am gettingmy head round wiki mark up atm
[22:42] <zleap> np
[22:43] <zleap> ali was helping me the other day and i am in touch with Nio too
[22:43] <SergioMeneses> zleap, perfect! Nio and Ali are rockstars!
