<1> thanks
<0> elduran_: welcome
<2> ok good
<1> let's see how's goes
<1> i tried to set the time, and screen turns white
<1> like graphics prob
<1> bur graphics card is fine
<1> i have winxp installed in other hd
<3> in ubuntu, how do I find out what version of a package I have installed on the command line?
<3> I know in FC3 I could use "rpm -qa searchterm"
<4> dpkg -s package_name in debian
<4> DaTa-MaN, apt-cache show [package] | grep "Version"
<4> dpkg -s [package] : shows you all kind of details about the package and if it's already installed.
<4> [package] -v : shows the version of the installed package
<4> ;)
<3> vipersniper: thanks
<4> there
<4> np
<3> vipersniper: are dpkg, gdebi, and synaptic all compatiblke with each other?
<3> vipersniper: like... if I install somthing with gdebi... will synaptic know about the installed package?
<5> sure
<5> as they all use teh same package database
<4> why not
<5> syanptic is just a front for apt which is a front for dpkg
<3> Oh... so there is a package database... good to know
<5> same db
<3> oh... also good to know
<3> Thanks
<4> DaTa-MaN, the db thing is not true --> just little green men running around on the internet delivering packages ;)
<4> right Cancel ;)
<5> pretty much
<3> Hey... is that like the Japanese guys that run around inside the photocopier and turn the hampster wheel?
<4> and some of the little green men are terrorists ;)
<4> im bored ;)
<4> oops, dino_ is here
<6> lies
<7> GtG
<8> bonsoir
<2> Ubuntu even has tits
<9> good morning all
<10> morning to you Arkhangel :D
<9> :o))
<10> sup
<11> what's going on?
<12> Not much
<11> working on anything--interesting (or otherwise)? :)
<12> nah. the no job thing slows me down
<12> without a job, i don't escape work by working on something else
<11> understood.
<11> I don't know if I escape--or maybe it's just that I'm already "out there" in the ethers daydreaming.
<12> oh, your company never did call. :)
<12> Guess they're either vacating the spot or have someone else in mind
<11> no. my boss was on vacation last week, and he just got back. IL checked with him earlier
<12> It would be cool to be back down here
<12> *there. I grew up there
<11> that's cool. :) and we really need ppl.
<11> so, I don't know why it's taking so long
<11> we're already up to our eyeballs in work--and then some; and management keeps hiring more suits
<12> huh. You really think its just grand-mal bad timing?
<11> what's "grand-mal"?
<11> more than anything, I suspect that my boss simply hasn't looked at your resume yet (because he's fighting several fires at the moment)
<12> that's ok. don't push him.
<12> I'm just a little anxious is all.
<13> heh, you could come work in the NOC
<13> of course, we're rapidly becoming the least-liked department here
<3> time for a healthy dose of C programming
<12> why?
<13> my boss is a tool, so is the NOC manager
<11> not so much for the minions--mainly for the lead suit
<12> Maybe its time to do repair on the image then.
<12> being it gives him a special place. He can consider things like monthly newsletters to the rest of the company.
<12> I've learned that most of the time when people start getting pissed off, its because they don't really understand the situation a whole lot. Getting the reasoning Out There can help.
<11> Maybe it's time for that lead suit to take a chill pill, and for him to stop being so pushy. Everything doesn't have to be done yesterday.
<12> Huh? And thats causing external issues, not internal?
<11> internal to the company; external to his group
<12> Yeah, thats what I mean.
<12> Normally when someone becomes an overbearing ***, its towards his subordinates and not across. :)
<11> he's new, hasn't been here for even 2 weeks, and has managed to tick off almost everyone on my team--except for me (mainly because I don't work much with him).
<12> uh oh. sounds like he's on his way out
<12> I hope he hires me before he gets himself fired
<11> well, I think he could possibly be decent, but he just needs to tone it down a few notches.
<13> jblack: dp2 & I have different bosses now
<12> You said he's ticked most everyone off in two weeks?
<13> his boss = good, but forgetful sometimes
<13> my boss = jack***
<13> you'd be working for his boss
<11> let forgetful=mostOfTheTime
<12> Thats a bit of inertia
<13> and don't get me started on what happened when I got here
<11> he's good, but he kind is a type-A ADHD type
<13> I almost flat-out quit
<11> with all of that said, this really has been a pretty good company to work for--honestly. :)
<12> I wonder how springfield mall has changed over the last 20 years.. ;)
<11> it's still pretty cool. it's one of the two places (Tyson's being the other) that my wife and I hang out at.
<11> My wife is a Manila-mall-rat; I'm not. Nevertheless, we compromise: I go "malling" with her occasionally, and she'll go to music stores with me (again occasionally). :)
<13> there's a metro station by the mall now
<12> whoah!
<13> Springfield that is
<13> yup
<12> wish they had that when I was a kid
<13> well, there's one now out in largo too
<11> what was springfield like when you were here? :)
<12> Oh boy... as a kid?
<12> The fun thing was the mall.
<14> I am back
<11> now that I think about it. I think my wife and I do Springfield Mall and Tyson's, because they're at both ends of the 401 (a bus route). We're not originally from here (hence the Manila refeence for her).
<12> There was stuff to do, but we were too po.
<11> understood.
<12> Back then, backlick was two way.
<12> There was a sea galley I worked at, but they went out of business.
<11> born and raised partly in the ghetto of CLE--then transplanted into the suburbs of Columbus later on.
<12> Then there was a fantles that I worked at, but they went out of business too.
<12> So I worked at a little italy restaurant for a bit, but they also went out of business.
<12> Thinking I was on to something, I joined the navy, hoping war would go out of business.
<15> hi
<11> hi
<12> hello
<11> ah. now I'm starting to understand why you wrote some of what you wrote a while back.
<12> unfortunately, my out-of-businessed-ness only extened to getting the ship that i was on decommissioned.
<11> were you an officer?
<12> nope. Back then I was smart in a stupid way.
<12> I was pushed a few times to go to OCS. I felt like it was selling out.
<12> The whole "We work for a living" demeanor of enlisted soaked in deeply enough that I didn't like the idea of being some lazy **** sitting behind a desk instead of Saving The world. ;)
<12> Which in retrospect is asinine... But in my early 20s, I knew it all.
<11> lol well, my father spoke (and still speaks) fondly of his experience in the Army at Ft Sam Houston, and he told me he sometimes wished he had gone to OCS too. However, he would have had to re-inlist, and he wasn't going to do that (since he served during the Vietnam War).
<11> in my early 20s, other ppl thought that I thought I knew it all; yet, I actually thought I didn't know enough
<11> paralisys via analysis.
<12> yeah, that aabout it.
<2> so people thought that you thought that you know it all but you actually thought that their thought was a wrong thought since they should never have thought that you thought you know every thought
<11> basically
<12> at that age? With the problems I had growing up? Oh, I ate it up
<12> made me arrogant in the extreme. That's part of why I've got such a low tolerance for it this days.
<11> well, between the time I was 4 and 8, it became apparent that I was gifted in music and the sciences.
<12> I'm tired of fixing the world. These days, i just want to have a good job and go home at the end of the day.
<12> Oh, music?
<11> and I was so curious about everything--that I wanted to know how it all worked.
<11> sure. I'm also a musician. my main instrument is trumpet
<16> help me please. how to download - http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/iso/ - using linuxdosbase command
<11> I can play any style, but I prefer to play jazz, cl***ical, and gospel.
<11> and R&B
<12> I never got into creating music. I appreciate it a lot though.
<13> Sp0iled: I've never heard of that command
<11> why not just download the ISO, burn it, and then boot with the respective CD/DVD?
<10> Sp0iled, use wget
<3> I know this is not a Linux topic... but I hope someone knows that answer. I've been trying to join #C, but recently it said I had to register my nick to join that channel. So I registered my nick... still can't join for the same reason. WHY???
