lerner, google it up: bpg file view linux
lerner 2017-03-05 17:50:23
does 'extract' work from the shell? it is a tar.gz file I want to make and install
opsu 2017-03-05 17:50:35
good evening everyone!
opsu 2017-03-05 17:51:13
@lerner man extract should give you the proper guidelines
opsu 2017-03-05 17:52:21
anyone awake?
lerner 2017-03-05 17:53:41
ok. Question: If I create a directory and extract a tar.gz there, does the tar.gz create the directory in a standard directory (like /etc/fgfs) or only in the directory I created?
JFox762 2017-03-05 17:54:06
is there a keyboard shortcut to switch sound sinks?
Ben64 2017-03-05 17:54:43
lerner: whatever is in the file gets extracted
Ben64 2017-03-05 17:55:14
lerner: what are you trying to install? compiling should be the last resort
lerner 2017-03-05 17:55:41
Ben64, but ./configure, make and make install install the program in the proper directory and not in the extraction directory, correct? and Im compiling because it is apparently the only way. but please stick to this question
lerner 2017-03-05 17:56:40
JFox762, function keys , on my keyboard fn+f5
Ben64 2017-03-05 17:56:40
lerner: it probably isn't the only way, and ./configure, make, and make install have nothing to do with extracting a file
JFox762 2017-03-05 17:56:40
ahh ok
opsuSEC 2017-03-05 17:56:40
apt-install unzip, apt-unzip from directory should handle it
lerner 2017-03-05 17:56:40
even so id like to understand this
Ben64 2017-03-05 17:56:46
lerner: the more you explain, the better
opsuSEC 2017-03-05 17:57:03
log preferred

i am on ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
opsu 2017-03-05 18:27:37
cd /etc/group
opsu 2017-03-05 18:27:46
if it doesn't exist
opsu 2017-03-05 18:28:08
cd /etc/
cfhowlett 2017-03-05 18:28:08
opsu, do you need it for some reason??
KalEl 2017-03-05 18:28:25
I am not sure if you can cd into /etc/group, isn't it a file
opsu 2017-03-05 18:28:28
need what?
KalEl 2017-03-05 18:28:29
you could vi /etc/group
opsu 2017-03-05 18:29:03
i was going to suggest a wipe instead of him sudoing the filesystem, lvm can be tricky to a beginner
KalEl 2017-03-05 18:29:42
Can I use something slightly more sophisticated than ping instead, that can send back a message? I don't know what though
cuckoo 2017-03-05 18:30:03
KalEl, thankx
KalEl 2017-03-05 18:30:06
I.e. to know that the IP is indeed connecting to the Ubuntu guest machine inside Virtualbox
opsu 2017-03-05 18:40:40
what's your uid, 1000?
opsu 2017-03-05 18:41:11
move chmod 768 to vmware after installation.
opsu 2017-03-05 18:42:58
after you get your VMware up, I'd suggest practicing in two environments, then bridge the connections to them via ssh, this way you don't move around your filesystem too much.

guys, use tab nicknames for support
lotuspsychje 2017-03-05 18:43:56
!who
ubottu 2017-03-05 18:43:56
As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
opSUsec 2017-03-05 18:44:38
my apologies; lotus.

Moving forward, how is everyone doing this evening?
