[16:12] <doomlund> Hi, new Ubuntu user here
[18:21] <grantbow> doomlum: hi, how do you like Ubuntu so far?
[18:21] <grantbow> doomlund: hi, how do you like Ubuntu so far?
[18:22] <doomlund> i love it! lots to explore. just installed lamp to goof around with as well.
[18:23] <doomlund> i am wondering where to go from here. any advice for good ways to explore the system?
[18:30] <grantbow> apt-cache search xyz
[18:31] <grantbow> from a command line
[18:31] <grantbow> will list available packages that can be installed
[18:32] <doomlund> cool!
[18:32] <grantbow> a list of all installed packages is at dpkg -l
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <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
[18:36] <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

[21:48] <philipballew> nhaines, were you coming down to Americas Finest City anytime this week?
[21:50] <rww> philipballew: as I understand it, he texted you about meeting up
[21:51] <philipballew> rww, Did not get a message.
[21:51] <philipballew> :(
[21:51] <philipballew> however I recall giving him my number sometime ago.
[21:52] <philipballew> 530 - 305 - 6497 just in case anyone here ever needs it.
[21:55] <rww> yep, that's the one he used
[21:55] <rww> odd
[22:18] <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.
[22:19] <nhaines> Oh hey, I forgot I don't have autocorrect on my phone in Connectbot. :)
[22:21] <philipballew> nhaines, I will be avaible all of those dates except Sunday before one.
[22:22] <philipballew> I will be up till about 2am tonight, but should be free all of the next few days also.
[22:24] <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/
[22:43] <philipballew> perfect.
[22:43] <philipballew> calling works best or texting since I am not always in front of my laptop.
[22:58] <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.
[23:04] <philipballew> nhaines, sure, I can also post it here if that is easier.
