| [12:58] <jobinar> Hi! | |
| [12:58] <jobinar> I m a moderately new user to Ubuntu, and am interested in finding out new things in it | |
| [12:59] <jobinar> Can anyone tell me which file gets changed when I do a sudo apt-get update? | |
| [13:00] <jobinar> I mean I want to know where is the list of all the softwares in my system.... | |
| [13:00] <jobinar> Any help appreciated! | |
| [13:00] <bioterror> it's /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin | |
| [13:00] <bioterror> and /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin | |
| [13:00] <jobinar> Thanks a lot bioterror!!! | |
| [13:01] <jobinar> I am not able to read the contents fo the file. It seems to be a binary file | |
| [13:01] <jobinar> Can I in anyway read this? | |
| [13:02] <jobinar> Or is there a text version available? | |
| [13:02] <bioterror> you want to list all the stuff you have installed? | |
| [13:02] <jobinar> no | |
| [13:02] <bioterror> what you are after? | |
| [13:02] <jobinar> I came to know that is here /var/lib/dpkg/status | |
| [13:02] <jobinar> I want to know where are "all" the softwares availble for download kept on my system... | |
| [13:02] <jobinar> for some foolish reasons u can say | |
| [13:03] <bioterror> files you have used for installing programs? | |
| [13:03] <bioterror> I'm trying to understand what you're after | |
| [13:04] <jobinar> no buddy, I mean, when I type the name of a software not installed on my system, it comes to know that it is not installed but there is software by that name? | |
| [13:04] <jobinar> how does it come to know this? | |
| [13:06] <jobinar> Hope u got my intention | |
| [13:06] <bioterror> yes, when you type a command in shell, it tells you command not found, but you can install it | |
| [13:06] <bioterror> like htop, for example | |
| [13:06] <jobinar> ya | |
| [13:08] <jobinrv> sorry for the interruption, my connection got reset | |
| [13:08] <bioterror> it's a bash script, I assume | |
| [13:09] <jobinrv> is the list of files not stored anywhere on my system, then? | |
| [13:09] <jobinrv> like the list of softwares installed on my system.... | |
| [13:10] <Amijai> i cannot log in to my GTalk accounts on precise | |
| [13:10] <Amijai> claimes the password is incorrect, although I know for a fact it's correct! | |
| [13:11] <Amijai> jobinrv: what was your question? I just got here | |
| [13:11] <jobinrv> i wanted to know where is the list of all the softwares available for download stored on my system... | |
| [13:12] <jobinrv> the way /var/lib/dpkg/status stores the list of installed softwares | |
| [13:13] <Amijai> I don't think you can vrowse the list | |
| [13:13] <Amijai> is in a tar.gz file | |
| [13:13] <Amijai> what are you looking for exactly? | |
| [13:13] <jobinrv> i just want to know how does the shell come to know that there is no software installed on my PC named "XYZ", when i type XYZ but it knows that it is a software | |
| [13:13] <bioterror> jobinrv, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommandNotFoundMagic | |
| [13:14] <Amijai> you could install apt-file to figure out which package holds a certain file | |
| [13:14] <jobinrv> i just want to know this for some silly reason | |
| [13:14] <bioterror> jobinrv, I gave you what you're looking for ;) | |
| [13:15] <jobinrv> thanks bioterror, will check it in a moment | |
| [13:15] <Amijai> I am no Ubuntu developer, but I guess it has to do with the updatedb mechanism | |
| [13:16] <Amijai> it compares the installed package list with the last list it got from apt-get update | |
| [13:17] <jobinrv> Thanks bioterror, Amijai! Got it! | |
| [13:17] <bioterror> /usr/lib64/python2.7/dist-packages/CommandNotFound/CommandNotFound.py | |

| [23:35] <Petskull> I want to reach files on a USB drive (always on/connected) via ftp. I tried 'ln -ds <path_usb>' to make symlinks, but they don't show up in the ftp. Then, of course, ln -d to a usb drive failed. Any ideas? | |
