| Kite_DH | i am german |
| SlackRat | is the repository in germany also? |
| Kite_DH | no clue ok i uninstall GIMP now |
| luckyone | amaroK is probably the best music player ever thought of |
| Sanne | slyfox: I guess there will be differences. I don't believe adept will make the plf and canonical repositories available. But you could just make a backup of your current sources.lists and try out what happens. |
| Kite_DH | 3...2...1... |
| Sanne | Kite_DH: I think gimp uses the language you have set your system to. It accesses some environment variable that's maybe set to german. |
| Kite_DH | Sanne: it is... |
| SlackRat | uninstall, and get the ubuntu package for gimp from the sight and just install it, or make sure that your repo addresses arent in germany.......remove them temporarily, since they seem togive you a german default......install gimp, and then put the repos you use back |
| slyfox | Sanne: ok |
| Sanne | Kite_DH: I changed the language once. I have an english system, but wanted to have a german gimp to be able to help a client (I'm also german). |
| SlackRat | another reason synaptic is so useful.....you can check pkgs and repos all in the same place |
| Kite_DH | i got adept |
| Sanne | Kite_DH: I could try to find out again how this worked, if you want to (and if you still have the ginp installed... ;)) |
| SlackRat | imo, you d be doing yourself a favor to have synaptic as well |
| action | Shadowtester is away: Gone away for now. |
| Shadowtester | is away: Gone away for now. |
| Kite_DH | Sanne: i have a folder full of files from chip.de, it said GIMP in english for linux...its 14,1MB big..its full of stuff, and i have no idea how to install it |
| SlackRat | you can check and uncheck your repos, see where the http for those repos are, whether .de or us or whatever |
| Kite_DH | i just uninstalled GIMP |
| Sanne | Kite_DH: don't do that. You should really use the gimp tfrom the repositories. We#ll find out how to switch to english. |
| Kite_DH | Sanne: whats a repository? |
| Sanne | Kite_DH: chances are, if it's from chip.de, it's for windows ;) |
| Kite_DH | Sanne: no, it was a tar.bz2 file... |
| SlackRat | check your repos, and make sure you dont reinstall from a german repo, or youll prolly get the german edition......theres dev talk on google about keeping info and stuff in sync with the english releases.... |
| Sanne | Kite_DH: you *are* on kubuntu linux, right? |
| Kite_DH | Sanne: kubuntu edgy eft Sysinfo for 'Kubuntu': Linux 2.6.17-11-generic running KDE 3.5.6, CPU: Intel(R)Pentium(R)4CPU3.06GHz at 3059 MHz (6126 bogomips), , RAM: 473/503MB, 101 proc's, 1.31h up =/ Sanne: should i dl that---> ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/gimp/ |
| Sanne | Kite_DH: ok, while I work, you could read this (it's for Gnome, but still useful for understanding the basics):https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories |
| SlackRat | check http://gug.sunsite.dk/forum/?threadid=1759 it happened to someone with a dutch version as well GIMP uses the system default locale it seems check ronalds post on that site |
| Sanne | Kite_DH: don't download gimp manually. If I succeed, you can reinstall through the package manager and we'll get you an english gimp. |
| Kite_DH | Sanne: ok Sanne: also kann ich den ordner da lschen? sry |
| SlackRat | see the GimpUserGroup site i jus posted |
