| doomlund | Hi, new Ubuntu user here | 16:12 |
|---|---|---|
| grantbow | doomlum: hi, how do you like Ubuntu so far? | 18:21 |
| grantbow | doomlund: hi, how do you like Ubuntu so far? | 18:21 |
| doomlund | i love it! lots to explore. just installed lamp to goof around with as well. | 18:22 |
| doomlund | i am wondering where to go from here. any advice for good ways to explore the system? | 18:23 |
| grantbow | apt-cache search xyz | 18:30 |
| grantbow | from a command line | 18:31 |
| grantbow | will list available packages that can be installed | 18:31 |
| doomlund | cool! | 18:32 |
| grantbow | a list of all installed packages is at dpkg -l | 18:32 |
| grantbow | there are guis for this stuff too, but you can't pipe them through grep such as: | 18:33 |
| grantbow | dpkg -l | egrep -i sql | 18:33 |
| doomlund | i try not to rely on the gui. i really want to be able to just use the terminal. | 18:34 |
| rww | ( aptitude search ~i~nsql ) | 18:34 |
| grantbow | aptitude is good too | 18:34 |
| doomlund | so this is great. can you recommend a good introduction to understanding permissions and hierarchies in ubuntu? | 18:34 |
| rww | !hier | 18:34 |
| darthrobot | rww: Error: "hier" is not a valid command. | 18:34 |
| Eureka | Factoid hier not found | 18:34 |
| rww | oh, that must be new | 18:34 |
| rww | doomlund: man hier for the filesystem hierarchy | 18:34 |
| grantbow | rww: nice | 18:35 |
| rww | 18:35:19 <ubottu> An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 18:35 |
| darthrobot | Title: [LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview - Community Help Wiki] | 18:35 |
| grantbow | the FHS is implemented slightly differently by the different Linux distributions | 18:35 |
| doomlund | Thanks!!! | 18:36 |
| rww | as far as permissions, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_access_permission#Traditional_Unix_permissions | 18:36 |
| darthrobot | Title: [File system permissions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia] | 18:36 |
| rww | and the section after that goes into notation | 18:36 |
| rww | (Wikipedia is surprisingly good as a reference for basic UNIX commands) | 18:36 |
| grantbow | rww: itis | 18:36 |
| * grantbow examines his fingers | 18:37 | |
| philipballew | nhaines, were you coming down to Americas Finest City anytime this week? | 21:48 |
| rww | philipballew: as I understand it, he texted you about meeting up | 21:50 |
| philipballew | rww, Did not get a message. | 21:51 |
| philipballew | :( | 21:51 |
| philipballew | however I recall giving him my number sometime ago. | 21:51 |
| philipballew | 530 - 305 - 6497 just in case anyone here ever needs it. | 21:52 |
| rww | yep, that's the one he used | 21:55 |
| rww | odd | 21:55 |
| nhaines | philipballew: yip, o wantes to know when you were available tonight, tomorrow, or Monday. Although tonight wouls be tricky for me. I'd have to drive out late. | 22:18 |
| nhaines | Oh hey, I forgot I don't have autocorrect on my phone in Connectbot. :) | 22:19 |
| philipballew | nhaines, I will be avaible all of those dates except Sunday before one. | 22:21 |
| philipballew | I will be up till about 2am tonight, but should be free all of the next few days also. | 22:22 |
| nhaines | Okay, perfect. I have witing to do (deadline: Sunday morning) so I'll probably head out tomorrow afternoon. I can call or email when I know when. | 22:24 |
| nhaines | s/witing/writing/ | 22:24 |
| philipballew | perfect. | 22:43 |
| philipballew | calling works best or texting since I am not always in front of my laptop. | 22:43 |
| nhaines | Sounds good. I suspect texting may be a mistake. :P But if you can PM or text me your address that'd be a big help. | 22:58 |
| philipballew | nhaines, sure, I can also post it here if that is easier. | 23:04 |
