Comments:
<0> the way you expected to quickly get that missing tool installed to get a job done and you spend some time updating and working on the system side instead ;)
<1> I think I'm just going to lay off the whole Ubuntu thing right now. I'm practically in tears because of this. :/
<2> Jesus im whoring it on ubuntuforum ronight iv helped a heap of noobs
<0> I can see my boss looking at me with a dark sustained sight, Is it ok ? Can I have that print for the meeting ?
<3> anybody here do much bash scripting?
<4> Chu: woo lets take it one step at a time
<5> leagris, what are you going on about... Im so confused
<4> Chu: how comfortable are you inside of your computer?
<6> Hi guys! When I try to install most metacity themes, (specifically humanoid-OSX, it says "the file format is invalid". What do I do?
<4> Chu: if you aren't I will walk you through it all, do you have 2 computers?
<7> nickgarvey, I imagine its rather cramped.
<4> !themes
<1> nickgarvey: I just recently put a new drive in, but I really don't feel like doing anything else to it right now. :/
<4> heh nice
<1> I only have one right now. :/
<8> allo
<4> Chu: well I can't do much to help your not willing to do something, I'd say come back here tomorrow when you are in a better mood
<1> Okay, I'll do that.
<5> nickgarvey, hahaha, he just doesnt want to work inside his box, thats ok
<9> Killgore, we try to solve problems here. if you have one, ask.
<5> Chu, is your system a home build or did you buy it from someone?
<10> still didn't work, with no other apps running.
<0> DBO, talking about, the time you spend trying to solve dependencies with apt-get. It sometimes takes longer than expected because the repositories got new versions. So you apt-get update, than you install a package and several newer updates com in.
<1> DBO: It's not that, I'm just really frustrated, and I don't think it's a good idea to work with this machine in my current state. :/
<3> tkup: im trying to get my bash script to kill a process, but i dont know how to use sleep
<11> is there some more site I can add to my list for apt-get?
<5> leagris, yes, that happens all the time, perfectly normal
<1> DBO: It's a Dell Dimension 3000. Sadly, Dell ****s with its support, so they've been no help. :/
<12> do i need to change repositories for apt-get seperately from synaptic?
<5> Chu, ok, well, we will still be here when you are ready
<5> TruckerMan, no
<11> to work with synaptic too
<9> Killgore, paste your script on pastebin and let us have a look at it
<10> Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic --update-at-startup --non-interactive --hide-main-window as user root:
<10> Child terminated with 1 status
<6> Hello? Metacity themes sometimes say "invalid file format"
<12> hmmm, i wonder why i cant find this certain java-package
<0> TruckerMan, synaptick is a graphical front end for apt, so it uses the same repositoryes
<3> tkup: i dont know how to use pastebin is #flood ok?
<4> !tell eli about themes
<11> thats what I thought I thought I was trippin
<9> Killgore, I guess
<11> lol
<4> (sorry eli thats all I know theme wise ;))
<3> tkup: well i guess nows as good a time as ever to learn
<12> yeah, the java wiki said if i have prob aptgettin java-package to check repos on synaptic and i still have errors with aptget javapackage
<9> Killgore, what's so hard to learn about pastebin?
<11> gynaptic has java so you can install for firefox?
<11> synaptic
<3> tkup: nothing as i just found out
<13> Hey everybody... I am having an issue getting Ubuntu to install, and am wondering if somebody could help me? I am a Linux newbie... hehe
<14> TruckerMan, do you have the Multiverse repos enabled?
<12> codecaine, just second
<4> :) isn't it nice when things are that easy?
<4> tomp: whats not working out for you?
<9> Killgore, good :)
<12> Madpilot, i enabled everything
<15> tomp, whats the issue?
<12> even backports, is that good?
<3> tkup: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11808
<14> TruckerMan, you don't really need backports
<12> codecaine, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats this is what i'm trying to do
<12> hmmm
<13> OK. I get through the installation process just fine it seems, but then when booting into Ubuntu, I get this error: "X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting"
<14> TruckerMan, after you enabled everything, did you hit Reload in Synaptic? That forces a re-read of your changed sources file
<4> tomp: woo you should have X there
<5> tomp, does your box have an internet connection?
<12> it asked and auto did that i think, i'll do it again just to be sure tho
<7> hrh166, are you still there?
<10> yes
<9> Killgore, PID=`pgrep -f Frozen`
<13> yes, DBO, it's actually the same box I am on now, I Just have two hard drives
<13> i'm in windows right now... hehe
<7> hrh166, do a sudo apt-get update and give me the output.
<4> tomp: wireless or wired internet?
<5> tomp, shhhhh that kind of talk is dangerous around here...
<16> brb
<13> also, this is when installing Dapper Drake, the latest build
<13> wired internet
<3> tkup: yeah? it searches the current process filenames for things with Frozen
<4> tomp: woo its wired good, and read the title of this channel
<4> !dapper
<10> i'm a newbie to linux..need help
<17> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
<3> tkup: and as far as i know ***igns that UID to PID
<4> hrh166: what was your question again?
<7> hrh166, ok, no problem.
<5> tomp
<18> Hi, how do I control services on ubuntu from the terminal.. I'm used to gentoo's rc-update so I'm not sure how it all works on a debian based distro
<4> hrh166: oh yeah synaptic, close synaptic then try to update
<13> yes?
<7> hrh166, are you in kubuntu or ubuntu?
<10> ubuntu
<9> Killgore, you should use the back single quotes rather than the straight single quotes to accomplish that
<5> when you are in linux type "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg ubuntu-desktop"
<4> !services
<17> I heard services is to view and alter system services, use one or more of rcconf, sysvconfig, sysv-rc-conf, update-rc.d or ls, ln and rm in /etc/rc?.d/
<9> Killgore, replace that line with the one I supplied above
<7> hrh166, ok, go to applications -> accesories -> Terminal
<13> ok... thanks, I will give that a shot
<10> ok
<12> Madpilot, i reloaded and searched and still no dice
<5> tomp, sounds good, come back if you have issues
<3> tkup: how did you write them?
<13> ok... Thanks again
<9> Killgore, using the quote that's under the tilde key
<14> !info java-package
<4> evader: get the line that ubotu said?
<7> hrh166, in there, type sudo apt-get update
<17> java-package: (utility for building Java(TM) 2 related Debian packages), section multiverse/misc, is optional. Version: 0.26 (breezy), Packaged size: 20 kB, Installed size: 308 kB
<3> tkup: ok thanks ill try it now
<9> Killgore, back quotes evaluate single quotes don't
<14> TruckerMan, hmm, it really does exist
<10> asking for a p***word
<12> hmm, i have everything but the cd enabled
<12> heheh
<18> nickgarvey: yeah i'll have a play with that thanks
<7> hrh166, give it to it. Your user p***.
<12> wow dooood
<4> :)
<14> TruckerMan, can you pastebin your sources.list for us?
<12> what is pastebin?
<4> evader: what I just do to stop them from boot is chmod -x the file
<15> !paste
<17> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
<18> I installed another window manager, that I want to be on my gdm session choices list thingo at start up.... where can i add it??
<7> hrh166, sudo runs the following command as root, with unlimited access. All GUI programs that ask for your p***word do this through sudo.
<7> hrh166, otherwise it would not ask, but apt-get must be run as root.
<14> !tell TruckerMan about pastebin
<3> tkup: hmmm strange
<10> bring me back to the original line I typed
<19> evader: /usr/share/xsessions
<19> evader: from memory
<20> question : trying to compile drivers for my modem i get an error when trying to make 536 says /lib/modules... autoconf.h does not exist please install kernel source. what do i need to install?
<18> thanks
<7> sudo apt-get update ?
<7> Oh.
<7> I see.
<3> tkup: what does sleep do?
<4> Killgore: man sleep
<3> tkup: i can guess but....
<19> evader: you can use an existing *.desktop file as a template
<18> ok
<18> i'll try it
<3> tkup: i didnt know you could do that
<0> lestatslair, sudo apt-get install build-essential
<12> Madpilot, ok,i'll just have to find the sources file
<9> Killgore, you could replace the whole script with the command line 'pkill -9 Frozen' but if you want to learn bash... :)
