Comments:

<0> change to directory DIR
<0> if you use that you do.
<1> he's trying to just unpack it afaict
<1> then do 'something'
<2> Yes, but why would he unpack binaries to /usr/src?
<1> why would a tar have binaries... wouldn't it be a .bin ?
<3> goodnight all...
<2> It's a gzipped tarfile.
<1> yeah yeah
<4> it says i dont have permission to write to opt
<1> go figure
<5> jetscreamer: I guess he has downloaded directly from mozilla website
<2> You have to use sudo, matthew.
<1> i think he has source, myself
<0> correct. so prepend sudo
<1> but i'll back off



<5> matthew: 'sudo'
<6> what is the command to give permission to execute files? have forgotten it;)
<1> chmod +x ?
<6> thnx
<4> whats the command to change the folder its in then
<7> hello
<7> anybody now how to zoom picture in vlc player
<8> sudo mv sourcefilepath destinationfilepath
<9> ok, at the end of the synaptic update i am getting an exit error from the edubuntu installation script- any ideas? a bug perhaps?
<0> jetscreamer i tend to agree, it probably is source, and if so will need to build in ~ but somethimes it's easier just to answer the question and move on....
<2> I just checked mozilla.com. The current download for Linux is named firefox-1.5.0.1.tar.gz and I just untarred it. It's binaries.
<9> errm...excuse me- but has anyone experienced anything like this? :(
<2> I have not, g0dchild.
<5> g0dchild: Are there any broken packages?
<8> g0dchild, can you pastebin the error?
<0> nhaines so i could use that on this 2.4 sustem. heh but why.
<2> Agent_bob, all I know is that he has a binary download, not a source one. :)
<9> mustard5, afraid not- in the haste, i closed the console window
<8> g0dchild, k
<10> i'm reading http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?src=rss&id=913. so after dapper is released, there will be no new ubuntu for 5 years?
<8> g0dchild, so when you say update, do you mean upgrading packages?
<8> bigfoot1, no
<2> bigfoot1, every 6 months. But Dapper will be supported for 5 years.
<2> So you can run a server using Dapper and get security updates for 5 years, basically, without having to upgrade.
<4> ok i finally got the firefox-1.5.0.1.tar.gz file in the opt folder
<2> Only 3 years for desktop packages. :)
<11> desktopsuppert for 3 years
<4> but i accidentally lost my home/matthew folder because i moved it then when i tried moving it back i cant find it now
<4> i'm so bad at this
<10> why would anyone want to stick to dapper when a newer
<1> sudo updatedb && sudo locate matthew
<5> bigfoot1: This is specifically for corporate environments.
<0> nhaines really, you mean it wont be like all the other ubuntu "worthless crap" in 3 months ?
<2> bigfoot1, because you can't afford to take down a working server and upgrade without knowing for certain it will work again.
<5> bigfoot1: In my company, we still use Win 2k
<2> Agent_bob, I don't really appreciate being spoken to in that tone.
<12> bigfoot1: because some people use it in production servers and can take the risk of shutdown critical applications without reason?
<12> s/can/can't
<5> bigfoot1: And even Redhat 9
<0> onkarshinde in my country we still use win95 :)
<2> bigfoot1, so if you know that you're covered with security updates and support for 5 years, you can feel confident to use Ubuntu 6.04 Server when it comes out. :)
<13> What's the name of the new icons from Dapper herehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUbuntuIcons. I mean, what's the package name?
<2> ooh, that's a good question.
<10> ok.
<14> did firefox repos update to 1.5
<14> ?
<11> no
<4> jetscreamer i tried that and i still dont understand
<5> vladuz976: which repos? breezy or dapper?
<14> onkarshinde: breezy
<8> vladuz976, not in breezy
<14> oh wow, still not?
<8> vladuz976, it won't be happening I dont think
<4> it says /Home/.nautilus/metafiles/file:%2F%2F%2Fhome%2Fmatthew.xml
<2> Is it gnome-humility-icon-theme ?
<8> vladuz976, it is dapper though
<15> why does the current gnome-vfs is striipped down? start-here:, all-applications: doesn't work anymore.
<5> ChaKy: I guess that is 'Tango' icon set
<16> hey
<14> mustard5: i am not sure if i wanna go for dapper, yet
<14> how much longer til dapper?



<11> vladuz976, packages in stable ubuntu versions wil only be upgraded for security reasons
<13> onkarshinde: thanks
<8> vladuz976, now is not a good time for using dapper no :)
<8> vladuz976, you can manually install firefox to the latest version
<14> mustard5: when do you think it'll become semi stable?
<17> have some trouble with installing superkaramba:S
<8> !firefox15
<18> rumour has it, firefox15 is see the wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion for information on how to install Firefox 1.5 from mozilla.org
<5> vladuz976: According to latest developments, Dapper may be delayed
<4> i lost my home/matthew folder
<14> onkarshinde: really? why and for how long?
<8> vladuz976, I wouldnt use it until a little while after the stable release
<16> Am I missing something just installed openssl from source but now cannot find it at the prompt configure make and make install from desktop
<2> Six weeks, vladuz976.
<8> vladuz976, mind you I run it on another partition already
<14> mustard5: oh even after tha
<0> matthew do you have a terminal open ?
<4> yeah
<19> :)
<16> mustard5: hello
<8> vladuz976, thats just my opinion though :)
<8> xstation, greetings
<5> vladuz976: Mark Shuttleworth has proposed the delay of 6 weeks. Let me find the posting
<0> matthew sudo find / -name .bashrc
<1> matthew: 'should' tell you where your old homedir is... substitute the real name of the dir...
<1> just do what Agent_bob said
<16> mustard5: take a look at my question
<19> if the delay doesn't effect the release schedule from here on out, i don't see the big deal
<0> matthew how many results you got on that ? (hope 2)
<4> haha well its searching my external hard drive
<20> hey everybody
<8> xstation, you mean you can't find the command to execute from terminal?
<21> gtk is a c compiler ?
<4> let me try again
<20> I have a question about installation of ubuntu5.10
<20> wondering if anybody would be willing to spare a few moments
<5> messi[ah]: No. GTK is a ui library (toolkit)
<16> mustard5: openssl command not found
<4> it says WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver.
<5> Jesse: Ask the question
<21> mh ok tx onkarshinde
<8> xstation, try typing just open and then hit tab completion and see what options it shows
<5> vladuz976: Here you go. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2006-March/000734.html
<0> matthew sudo / -xdev -name .bashrc it should stay on the root system.
<20> lol this may seem like a newb question, I apologize
<22> just shoot
<22> worst that happens is noone answers
<0> errr crap. sudo find / -xdev -name .bashrc
<4> ok it gave me 3 things
<0> boy am i like too many hours at the key board...
<4> /etc/skel/.bashrc /root/.bashrc /Home/.bashrc
<0> ok
<0> and the one in /root
<0> and ?
<4> one in Home
<4> with an upper case H
<4> maybe thats what i did wrong
<0> /Home/.bashrc yep.
<20> during installation, and I mean 5-10 seconds into the install, after it detects my cd-rom drives, I see in the documentation it should then start to detect my network card and such, but instead it just creates a white line at the bottom which allows me to type , but I do not know of any commands which would let it continue, i'm guessing for some reason the installer froze or is hanging on that certain point
<4> i'm glad this irc channel is here i'd be back to windows only :)
<16> mustard5 open then space and enter got this Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
<0> now matthew sudo mv /Home /home/matthew
<4> so i'm trying: sudo mv /Home/matthew /home
<4> oh
<22> Jesse, rerun the installer, when it gets to the white line hit escape and see what happens, if a menu of 'steps' pops up, post what step its at
<5> Jesse: Why don't you just try pressing enter
<0> if you run along ahead you get ran over. stay in time here.
<8> xstation, I was more thinking use the TAB key to give you a list of commands that start with 'open' :)
<4> great it works now
<0> your welcome. matthew
<16> mustard5 ok
<4> thank you!
<20> oh trust me I have tryed all the 'common keys' escape just brings up like '[12' or somthing similar
<4> agent_bob can you help me install firefox 1.5.0.1 now? :) I have it in the opt folder
