grembleHey magespawn18:57
magespawnhi gremble 19:27
zabearHi19:31
grembleo/19:32
zabearI need assistance with a problem - I downloaded 7zip - installed with Ubuntu software and it is on my system. But I dont find it at applications anywhere.  How can I activate it? Advice.19:34
magespawnhi zabear i think that on linux it may be comman line only no gui19:34
magespawncomman = command19:35
zabearMhm - what else can I use for a gui to use as zipping?19:36
zabearto zip files which are too big?19:36
grembleYou should be able to do it from nautilus (your file browser)19:37
grembleor "Archive manager"19:38
magespawntry man 7zip that should give the commands19:38
magespawnhttp://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/04/7z-7zip-7za-file-compression/19:40
zabearafraid of command line use - will take too much time and learning curve19:40
grembleIt really won't. Do it slowly. 19:41
zabearIs nautilus automatic part of ubuntu? or need I install it19:41
grembleIt is the name of your file browser19:41
grembleYou have it already19:41
zabearUnder what is it listed or how do I open it? 19:42
grembleshould be the little file drawer on your bar thing19:42
zabearsorry, but I just use files - dont know whats under the hood19:43
magespawnzabear: what version of ubuntu are you using? xubuntu? lubuntu?19:43
zabear14.0419:43
zabearubuntu19:43
zabearwith gnome19:43
magespawnbrb19:44
magespawnyup it is nautilus19:45
zabearbut how do I activate it then?19:45
grembleActivate what?19:46
zabearnautilus19:46
zabearto activate the zip part19:47
grembleRight-click a file and then "archive"?19:47
zabearso is archive also zipping?19:48
grembleYes19:48
grembleYou just choose 7zip19:48
zabearOK - will try this19:49
magespawnhttps://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/6e6f6d1b-95c3-46df-8a26-b7efd8ee4b57/entry/how_to_use_7zip_on_linux_command_line144?lang=en19:51
magespawnthere are examples on both of those links19:51
gremble^ Those are good19:51
magespawnmy recommendation would be to learn the command line19:51
grembleUsing the commandline is daunting, but much easier19:51
grembledaunting in the beginning*19:52
magespawnonce you get used to it19:52
zabearI compresed it with .tar.gz - do not find 7zip , but there is a .7z19:52
gremble.7z is 7zip. 19:53
grembletar.gz uses gzip19:53
grembleit is compressed19:53
zabearI looked for zip, not for compression - now I know how to do this - thanx for the help19:53
gremblezip is compression. Tar is an archive format19:54
spinzahttp://askubuntu.com/questions/25347/what-command-do-i-need-to-unzip-extract-a-tar-gz-file19:54
magespawntar.gz is the built in linux comes as standard as far as i know19:55
zabearI just did not know the terms - have learnd something 19:55
spinzayes19:55
zabearbye then19:55
