[10:50] this is gonna take some troubleshooting that we can't do in the current situation [10:50] lol no sadly [10:51] irssi isn't that big of a package [10:51] i am really disspointed because of the repositories download speed [10:51] irssi isn't installed by default anymore? [10:51] firefox is faster than that i know for sure [10:51] jrib: not since breezy :( [10:51] aw that's sad [10:51] let me just clear things up a bit: [10:51] Yodude: are you using the closest repos? [10:52] what do you mean closest repositories? [10:53] i am using a server for lebanon (where i live) [10:53] do i change the server? [10:53] maybe lebanon server is just not that good [10:54] Yodude: try changing it to just "archive.ubuntu.com" instead of xx.archive.ubuntu.com [10:54] how? [10:55] i tried going into synaptic preferences and changing the server from Server Lebanon to Main Server [10:56] is this good? [10:56] it seems a bit faster to me' [10:57] but illogical though shouldn't my country's server be faster for me? [10:58] it's still slower than usual though [10:58] Yodude: hit alt-f2 and type "gksudo "/etc/apt/sources.list"" [10:59] you already have changed it, never mind [11:00] hey i'm seeing something weird [11:01] after i have changed the server it told me to redownload the list! [11:01] and now i can't change back to Server Lebanon [11:01] ( and b4 this it told me there was 184 updates for my system now it tells me there is 74) [11:02] i always change my sources.list to a faster one [11:03] i'm gonna try to quit X than type a command for the last time [11:03] if it doesn't work than too bad [11:04] i won't be able to use ubuntu thnks to my "adorable" connection [11:04] c u === Yodude [n=youssef@213.255.224.26] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] [11:05] Yodude: reboot and login to rescue mode, then "login username".
