| cfhowlett | xubuntu243, any *ubuntu* capable program should do. there are some proprietary POS programs out there | 05:23 |
| cfhowlett | look in the software center for "finance" | 05:24 |

| sohail-ahmed | n python I can direct the installation files to a certain directory with use of --prefix, do we have any like this with apt or aptitude in linux??? | 16:13 |
| brainwash | sohail-ahmed: dpkg has --instdir= | 16:15 |
| sohail-ahmed | brainwash: does dpkg can handle non-distribution packages? | 16:23 |
| brainwash_ | sohail-ahmed: it handles .deb packages | 16:24 |
| brainwash_ | all valid ones | 16:24 |
| sohail-ahmed | brainwash: So this is not a solution if I have .tar file, correct?? | 16:25 |
| brainwash_ | no | 16:25 |
| sohail-ahmed | brainwash_: but you just said it handles only .deb files? | 16:28 |
| brainwash_ | I meant it's not a general solution | 16:29 |
| brainwash_ | I don't know what you are trying to achieve exactly, maybe you want to ask in ##linux | 16:29 |
| brainwash_ | or #ubuntu | 16:30 |
| sohail-ahmed | brainwash: In #ubuntu no body responded. Please just confirm that dpkg could not install .tar files | 16:31 |
| brainwash_ | how do you install a .tar file? it's not a package, and dpkg is a package manager | 16:32 |
| Pici | sohail-ahmed: dpkg can only install .deb files. | 16:33 |
| brainwash_ | you initial question mentioned apt/aptidude, so I assumed that you are talking about debian packages | 16:33 |
| brainwash_ | your | 16:33 |
| sohail-ahmed | brainwash_: Corect. But usually .tar file have bash/make file and I just trying to figure it out how to force them to install at certain location | 16:33 |
| brainwash_ | I see | 16:34 |
| JeZxLee | where is release candidate? | 16:34 |
| brainwash_ | so, you could even ask in #bash | 16:35 |
| Pici | sohail-ahmed: typically those options are set during the configure | 16:35 |
| sohail-ahmed | for example I can install texlive with sudo apt-get texlive.. but as I am trying to understand that with this way can I control their installation directories or not | 16:35 |
| Pici | sohail-ahmed: apt-get does not allow you to change the directories that things are installed into. All of that in configured during the packaging stage. | 16:35 |
| brainwash_ | the first step would be to read the manual page | 16:35 |
| sohail-ahmed | Pici: but with .tar file in hand how can I control packaging? | 16:36 |
| Pici | sohail-ahmed: You don't. You need to read the README or INSTALL or similar documentation that is inside the tar to figure out how to configure the install locaiton,. | 16:36 |
| Pici | Anyway, this is the same thing that you're being told in #python too | 16:39 |
| sohail-ahmed | Pici, brainwash_: thanks for your help. Their bash file can accept the installation directory option. thanks for your time | 16:44 |
| xubuntu891 | HAi | 18:20 |
| xubuntu891 | Im ERic | 18:20 |
| xubuntu891 | and im using xubuntu | 18:20 |
| xubuntu891 | But there is one thing i want to say. | 18:20 |
| melodie | hello | 19:15 |
| mrkramps | hi =) | 19:15 |
| melodie | I have noticed something annoying with Bleachbit on the latest Xubuntu editions: the exec line in the desktop file uses some pkexec king of command for the root version of bleachbit | 19:15 |
| melodie | from there, when you configure bleachbit, the configuration file is the same for user and for root, which is very wrong | 19:16 |
| mrkramps | melodie, yes … several applications use policykit | 19:16 |
| melodie | I have started bleanchbit with gksu and with gksu it works the right way | 19:16 |
| melodie | if you guys could check my finding, and bring the information upstream to the packager that would be nice | 19:17 |
| melodie | I have installed Xubuntu for someone about 10 days ago, and I didn't find time to take care of that (I'm an Archlinux user but I install *buntu editions for the users) | 19:17 |
| melodie | for the user I modified the desktop file to make it use gksu (and placed it in his .local/share/applications directory) | 19:18 |
| melodie | mrkramps policykit=pkexec ? | 19:22 |
| mrkramps | yes | 19:22 |
| melodie | or rather reverse pkexec is a policykit tool? | 19:22 |
| mrkramps | actually this command makes other applications use policykit to gain the proper rights | 19:22 |
| mrkramps | gparted or synaptic use it as well | 19:23 |
| melodie | Bleachbit does not support what is in it's desktop file | 19:24 |
| melodie | gksu is needed to make it create a proper configuration file meant only for the root-bleachbit side | 19:24 |
| melodie | other methods fail to make it have a different configuration file, which is a bummer when I make simple users use bleachbit, they have to have their configuration all done for them | 19:25 |
| brainwash_ | please file a bug report on launchpad.net | 19:25 |
| melodie | against bleachbit? | 19:26 |
| brainwash_ | well, yes | 19:26 |
| brainwash_ | you want to inform the package maintainer | 19:26 |
| melodie | should I check each bleachbit version to be sure it's the same everywhere? | 19:26 |
| melodie | yes I want to inform him | 19:26 |
| brainwash_ | feel free to do some testing | 19:27 |
| melodie | I bet I might need to check the packages at Debian too | 19:27 |
| brainwash_ | probably, most packages are synced from debian | 19:27 |
| melodie | brainwash_ I don't need testing, just unpack debs and check their desktop files | 19:27 |
| melodie | yes right | 19:28 |
| melodie | testing I have done already | 19:28 |
| melodie | in my user's machine :D | 19:28 |
| melodie | oh gosh that was my first dual-boot with a windows 8 and uefi + gpt! | 19:28 |
| Fructo | hiya | 19:48 |
| Fructo | guys anybody know the name of desktop environment used by solaris? | 19:49 |
| Fructo | and how to install it on ubuntu? | 19:50 |
| Fructo | what exactly is going on in here? | 19:50 |
| koegs | Fructo: Solaris 11 uses Gnome 2.30 | 19:52 |
| mrkramps | Fructo, MATE is the successor of gnome 2 | 19:53 |
| xangua | the fork | 19:53 |
| Fructo | yes, i know it's gnome, but what variety of it? | 19:53 |
| xangua | a fork of gnome 2 | 19:54 |
| brainwash_ | how is that even related to xubuntu? | 19:54 |
| Fructo | I just like how solaris gnome looks | 19:54 |
| Fructo | I want to install it to Xubuntu | 19:54 |
| brainwash_ | good luck then | 19:55 |
| Fructo | and i also want fully suared windows in xubuntu | 19:57 |
| Fructo | anybody knows what settings to edit to make windows to have square corners? | 19:58 |
| mrkramps | Fructo, settings → window manager (use a different theme) | 19:58 |
| Fructo | i want to ask yet several questions but don't want to be annoying | 20:01 |
| mrkramps | just ask | 20:02 |
| pettern | i keep losing some settings, like the powersaving settings. any idea why that could be happening? | 21:38 |
| pettern | they seem right in the settingsmanager so i have to change them to the wrong setting and then back again to fix it | 21:39 |
| Luyin | hi, got xfce 4.12 in xubuntu 14.04 now from the ppa. very nice, but somehow, volume up/down-keys don't work anymore. any suggestions on how to fix this? | 23:49 |
