| jodas | Hello | 03:33 |
| Burgundavia | hey | 03:33 |
| jodas | HelloHelloHello | 03:33 |
| jodas | Hello | 03:33 |
| jodas | Hello | 03:33 |
| Burgundavia | what is your issue? | 03:33 |
| jodas | HelloHello | 03:33 |
| jodas | HelloHello | 03:33 |
| jodas | Hello | 03:33 |
| jodas | Hello | 03:33 |
| jodas | Hello | 03:33 |
| jodas | Hello | 03:33 |
| jodas | v | 03:33 |
| jodas | vHello | 03:33 |
| jodas | HelloHello | 03:33 |
| jodas | vHelloHelloHello | 03:33 |
| jodas | Finally. | 03:33 |
| Burgundavia | jodas, please don't spam | 03:33 |
| jodas | Ok here is my issue. | 03:33 |
| jodas | I'm trying to delete things in the root desktop folder. | 03:34 |
| Burgundavia | why? | 03:34 |
| jodas | And I use Sudo, but it still will not allow for me to delete. | 03:34 |
| jodas | Because it is 38. MB of the same file that I thought was going to be downloaded to the desktop. | 03:35 |
| jodas | I do not need it anymore. | 03:35 |
| Burgundavia | how did it end up on roots desktop? | 03:35 |
| jodas | I do not know. | 03:35 |
| jodas | It said that it was downloading to desktop and most downloads do. | 03:35 |
| jodas | But for some reason that one downloaded to root. | 03:35 |
| Burgundavia | were you running a browser as root? | 03:36 |
| jodas | I have not a clue. | 03:36 |
| Burgundavia | sounds like your were | 03:36 |
| Burgundavia | you were, rather | 03:36 |
| jodas | root@edubuntu:/home/..... | 03:36 |
| jodas | I see that now. | 03:36 |
| Burgundavia | anyway, to delete it, simply run `sudo rm FILENAME` | 03:37 |
| jodas | But it will not allow for me to delete these files. | 03:37 |
| Burgundavia | while in the /root directory | 03:37 |
| Burgundavia | have you activated teh root account? | 03:37 |
| jodas | Ok how do I do that Sudo bash? | 03:37 |
| jodas | And in the root directory what does that mean? | 03:37 |
| Burgundavia | ok, how did you get a root terminal? | 03:38 |
| jodas | Says that I cannot remove the file because it does not exist when I'm looking right at it. | 03:39 |
| Burgundavia | did you activate the root account or did you do sudo -s? | 03:39 |
| jodas | Hold on. | 03:39 |
| jodas | I used sudo bash. | 03:39 |
| Burgundavia | umm, that is fairly unsafe | 03:39 |
| jodas | Just used that command. | 03:39 |
| jodas | In the root directory what does that mean? | 03:40 |
| Burgundavia | either / or root's home, which is /root | 03:40 |
| Burgundavia | but seriously, I would recommend doing sudo command, that way it is harder to forget you are using a root shell, becuase you are not | 03:40 |
| jodas | I have not a clue what you are talking about. | 03:41 |
| jodas | I'm sort of new as you have probably figured out. | 03:41 |
| Burgundavia | right | 03:41 |
| Burgundavia | and you are doing something extremely dangerous | 03:41 |
| jodas | Ok. | 03:41 |
| jodas | The files are printer driver downloads. | 03:41 |
| Burgundavia | I admin Ubuntu stuff for a job and I don't do crazy stuff like that | 03:41 |
| jodas | They are in the desktop. | 03:42 |
| jodas | Your point? | 03:42 |
| Burgundavia | regardless, what is the full path to teh files? | 03:42 |
| jodas | I know what you are trying to say, but I just need to delete these files? | 03:42 |
| Burgundavia | and there is an easier way to install those printer drivers | 03:42 |
| jodas | /root/desktop | 03:42 |
| jodas | I beleive. | 03:43 |
| Burgundavia | what is the filename? | 03:43 |
| Burgundavia | and what command did you run to download them? | 03:43 |
| jodas | hplip-1.7.3.tar.gz | 03:43 |
| Burgundavia | oh geez | 03:43 |
| jodas | It just downloaded there. | 03:44 |
| Burgundavia | from what? a web browser? | 03:44 |
| jodas | That was the file. | 03:44 |
| jodas | Mozilla. | 03:44 |
| Burgundavia | ugh | 03:44 |
| jodas | I had to download it to get my printer to work. | 03:44 |
| Burgundavia | running a web browser as root SHOULD NEVER BE DONE | 03:44 |
| jodas | Ok. | 03:44 |
| jodas | Anyways what do I do. | 03:44 |
| Burgundavia | open a terminal | 03:45 |
| jodas | 12.9 MBx3 because I did not think that it downloaded. | 03:45 |
| jodas | Ok. | 03:45 |
| Burgundavia | under applications > accessories > terminal | 03:45 |
| jodas | Already ahead of you. | 03:45 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 03:45 |
| Burgundavia | type the following: | 03:45 |
| jodas | Ok. | 03:45 |
| Burgundavia | sudo rm /root/Desktop/hp | 03:46 |
| Burgundavia | and then hit the tab key | 03:46 |
| Burgundavia | you should have the full file name | 03:46 |
| jodas | Says that it cannot remove it. | 03:46 |
| Burgundavia | can you pastebin the full command and the error message? | 03:47 |
| Burgundavia | !pastebin | 03:47 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 03:47 |
| jodas | Ok. | 03:47 |
| === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| jodas | It did not give me the whole file name. | 03:47 |
| jodas | So I had to put it in myself. | 03:47 |
| jodas | It worked. | 03:48 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 03:48 |
| Burgundavia | now, lets solve your first issue, the printer | 03:48 |
| Burgundavia | what version of Ubuntu are you runningh? | 03:48 |
| jodas | Edubuntu. | 03:48 |
| jodas | 6.10 | 03:48 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 03:48 |
| Burgundavia | what kind of printer do you have? | 03:49 |
| jodas | HP deskjet F340 | 03:49 |
| jodas | Printer, scanner, and copier. | 03:49 |
| Burgundavia | right | 03:50 |
| Burgundavia | ok, the version of hplip already installed on your system shoudl support the printer | 03:50 |
| Burgundavia | go to system > administration > printing | 03:51 |
| jodas | It was never installed. | 03:51 |
| jodas | It downloaded to root. | 03:51 |
| jodas | And I could not delete it. | 03:51 |
| Burgundavia | no, there is a version of hplip already installed | 03:51 |
| jodas | How do I sign out of root? | 03:51 |
| jodas | Hold. | 03:52 |
| Burgundavia | the root bash window? type logout | 03:52 |
| jodas | There are two. | 03:52 |
| Burgundavia | there are two windows, one shoudl be logged in as you | 03:52 |
| jodas | Hold on. | 03:52 |
| jodas | Ok. | 03:52 |
| jodas | What do you want to know about the printer. | 03:53 |
| jodas | Those files were zipped. | 03:53 |
| Burgundavia | you don't need the download | 03:53 |
| Burgundavia | hplip is already installed | 03:53 |
| Burgundavia | all you need to do is to install the printer | 03:54 |
| Burgundavia | ie: via system > admin > printing | 03:54 |
| jodas | It will not scan. | 03:54 |
| Burgundavia | which driver are you using? | 03:55 |
| jodas | Deskjet_F300. | 03:55 |
| Burgundavia | nah, on the printing control panel, what driver does it say you are using? | 03:57 |
| jodas | hpijs | 03:57 |
| Burgundavia | is there an option for hplip? | 03:57 |
| jodas | No that is what I was trying to tell you. | 03:58 |
| Burgundavia | I don't even see a model called f300 | 04:00 |
| Burgundavia | ok, there is it | 04:01 |
| jodas | Yeah. | 04:01 |
| jodas | There is not an install for the other driver. | 04:02 |
| Burgundavia | can you check to make certain hplip is installed? | 04:02 |
| jodas | That is what I just did. | 04:02 |
| jodas | It said that there was not another option. | 04:02 |
| Burgundavia | hmm | 04:03 |
| Burgundavia | have you tried using xsane? | 04:04 |

| jodas | Weird it found it??? | 04:06 |
| jodas | I did not see it before. | 04:06 |
| Burgundavia | right | 04:06 |
| jodas | Hold on. | 04:06 |
| jodas | It was not working before though. | 04:07 |
| jodas | Could that have been because I was in root? | 04:07 |
| Burgundavia | possibly | 04:09 |
| Burgundavia | run as little as possible as root | 04:09 |
| jodas | Ok. | 04:09 |
| jodas | Thanks for responding. | 04:09 |
| jodas | It helped me out. | 04:09 |
| Burgundavia | no worries | 04:09 |
| jodas | What are those commands again for the future? | 04:10 |
| Burgundavia | to run something with sudo, simply prepend it before teh command | 04:10 |
| jodas | Is there like a tutorial on how to use all the commands in ubuntu somewhere? | 04:10 |
| Burgundavia | a lot of stuff can be done graphically | 04:11 |
| Burgundavia | look under system > help | 04:11 |
| jodas | I know. | 04:11 |
| jodas | Ok. | 04:11 |
| jodas | Thank you. | 04:11 |
| jodas | Ja ne. | 04:11 |
| jodas | :) | 04:11 |
| ajmitch | admittedly, it is incredibly easy to break things if you just run everything as root :) | 04:12 |
| Burgundavia | pretty much | 04:14 |
| Meshezabeel | if someone can figure out my sound problem I will pay $15 (preferably with paypal) | 04:14 |
| Burgundavia | what is your sound issue? | 04:14 |
| Meshezabeel | I can hear sound from my mic and line in through my speakers, but cannot record it | 04:15 |
| Burgundavia | then your recording program is pulling off the wrong device | 04:15 |
| Meshezabeel | I have tried audacity and sox, sound recorder doesn't seem to work either | 04:16 |
| Burgundavia | best way to fix it is to experiment with the sound control panel | 04:16 |
| Meshezabeel | I have used alsamixer and made sure the mic and line in were not muted (and obviously I can hear it through my speakers) | 04:17 |
| Meshezabeel | alsa mixer also seems to repeat some of my ports, i.e it has line-in and line-in 1, it has mic, and mic1, etc. | 04:18 |
| crimsun | Meshezabeel: pastebin your ``amixer'' output, then tell us the url. | 04:19 |
| Meshezabeel | http://pastebin.ca/442212 | 04:23 |
| crimsun | your secondary mic looks to be toggled for capture, not primary | 04:24 |
| crimsun | neither mic has mic boost toggled on | 04:25 |
| Meshezabeel | yeah, that secondary mic is not my mic, it is the first mic that is my mic | 04:27 |
| Meshezabeel | mainly I am trying to record from line-in than mic anyhow | 04:27 |
| crimsun | amixer set 'Line' cap | 04:28 |
| === ajmitch wonders if crimsun highlights on alsa | ||
| crimsun | yes, I do. | 04:28 |
| ajmitch | worrying :) | 04:28 |
| crimsun | I disabled it for all the high traffic channels | 04:29 |
| Meshezabeel | mic boost works from speakers, but still does not record | 04:29 |
| Burgundavia | crimsun: you are crazy :) | 04:29 |
| crimsun | Meshezabeel: I thought you wanted to capture Line-in? | 04:29 |
| Meshezabeel | yes crimsun | 04:30 |
| Laser_away | well, it takes a bit of insanity to get all this stuff done ;-) | 04:30 |
| Meshezabeel | just trying mic with mic boost on as you mentioned the mic | 04:30 |
| Meshezabeel | but neither mic or line in work for recording, so is probably the same issue for both | 04:31 |
| crimsun | what have you tried? | 04:31 |
| crimsun | /if/ your model is correct, then you have two sets of mics and line-ins | 04:32 |
| ajmitch | Laser_away: not quite away today? | 04:32 |
| Laser_away | lurking :-) | 04:32 |
| ajmitch | figures :) | 04:32 |
| Meshezabeel | crimsun, I only have one line in and mic in as well as midi and digital in | 04:32 |
| crimsun | Meshezabeel: so now we need to establish if your model is detected correctly. | 04:33 |
| Meshezabeel | I also have onboard sound, but that should be a different model I would think | 04:33 |
| crimsun | Meshezabeel: please pastebin ``lspci -vvn'' and the contents of /proc/asound/card0/codec* | 04:33 |
| Meshezabeel | http://pastebin.ca/442225 | 04:37 |
| Meshezabeel | Alsamixer lists: | 04:40 |
| Meshezabeel | Card: Sound Fusion CS46xx | 04:40 |
| Meshezabeel | Chip: Cirrus Logic CS4294 rev 5,Cirrus Logic CS4294 rev 5,Cirrus Logic CS429 | 04:40 |
| crimsun | Meshezabeel: this is feisty, correct? | 04:41 |
| Meshezabeel | no, it is edgy | 04:41 |
| crimsun | Meshezabeel: hmm. cat /proc/asound/modules | 04:41 |
| Meshezabeel | 0 snd_cs46xx | 04:41 |
| crimsun | grep -i dsnoop /usr/share/alsa/cards/CS46xx.conf | 04:42 |
| Meshezabeel | # default with plughw/dsnoop | 04:43 |
| Meshezabeel | strings [ "dsnoop:" $CARD ] | 04:43 |
| crimsun | right, that was fixed in feisty's 1.0.13-1ubuntu2 | 04:43 |
| crimsun | let me isolate the fix for you. | 04:43 |
| Meshezabeel | oh, this was a bug in edgy? | 04:43 |
| crimsun | in edgy's alsa-lib configuration for cs46xx, yes. | 04:44 |
| Meshezabeel | ok, cool | 04:44 |
| Meshezabeel | I should also add that this is an external sound box called Hercules Game Theater XP that uses cs46xx chipset I believe, not sure if that makes a difference | 04:45 |
| crimsun | Meshezabeel: change the dsnoop in that line that you see above to hw | 04:45 |
| Meshezabeel | crimsun: not sure what you mean, you mean change it to: strings ["hw:" $CARD ] | 04:47 |
| crimsun | correct. | 04:47 |
| Meshezabeel | ok, done | 04:48 |
| Meshezabeel | do I need to reset something? | 04:49 |
| crimsun | nope, just restart the alsa apps in which you're attempting to record something | 04:49 |
| Meshezabeel | retried audacity still does not work | 04:50 |
| Meshezabeel | audacity has playback and record set to /dev/dsp - this is the only option, is this correct? | 04:51 |
| crimsun | err, that's oss emulation. | 04:51 |
| crimsun | does arecord /dev/null work? | 04:51 |
| crimsun | you should at least be able to hear yourself | 04:51 |
| crimsun | after confirming that much, replace "/dev/null" with another filename | 04:52 |
| Meshezabeel | yes, I can hear myself even when not running arecord etc. | 04:52 |
| Meshezabeel | arecord just records a sound file with no sound | 04:54 |
| Meshezabeel | i.e. white noise | 04:54 |
| crimsun | ok, then we're back to the "are you using the correct mic toggle" issue | 04:55 |
| Meshezabeel | well I can hear it in my speaker | 04:55 |
| Meshezabeel | when I use it, but when I record from it or line in, I get white noise | 04:56 |
| crimsun | you can hear "it" because both mic inputs are not zeroed. | 04:56 |
| Meshezabeel | mic and line-in are the correct ones, mic1 and line-in1 are not the correct ones, not sure what those are | 04:57 |
| Meshezabeel | any way to tell arecord to use mic or line-in | 04:57 |
| crimsun | yes, I gave you an example line above | 04:59 |
| crimsun | I presumed you had applied it to line-in already | 04:59 |
| crimsun | amixer set 'Line',0 cap | 04:59 |
| crimsun | or | 04:59 |
| crimsun | amixer set 'Mic',0 cap | 04:59 |
| crimsun | you can set this via the mixer applet in gnome, too | 05:00 |

| Meshezabeel | I have Line set to cap, but still gives white noise on record | 05:03 |
| crimsun | are you using audacity or arecord? | 05:03 |
| Meshezabeel | both | 05:04 |
| Meshezabeel | arecord just gives white noise too | 05:04 |
| crimsun | can you test with a feisty desktop cd? | 05:04 |
| crimsun | I don't have an edgy install with which to troubleshoot | 05:04 |
| crimsun | oh wait | 05:05 |
| crimsun | duh | 05:05 |
| Meshezabeel | k :) | 05:05 |
| === oldwolf [n=oldwolf@213.191.95.219.jb01-home.tm.net.my] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| crimsun | ok, for cs46xx you need to set Capture, Line/Mic, and ADC | 05:05 |
| === oldwolf [n=oldwolf@213.191.95.219.jb01-home.tm.net.my] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| crimsun | sorry, it has been quite some time since I did troubleshooting on cs46xx | 05:06 |
| Meshezabeel | np :) | 05:06 |
| crimsun | so - amixer set 'ADC' cap | 05:06 |
| Meshezabeel | when I run arecord, I press ctrl+c to stop? | 05:07 |
| crimsun | yes | 05:07 |
| Meshezabeel | hey, I think it's working, it sounds a bit garbled, but I got sound!!! | 05:09 |
| crimsun | right, set the sample rate and all that | 05:10 |
| Meshezabeel | hmm, when I set it in audacity to 44100 it records to 8000 only | 05:12 |
| crimsun | audacity bug | 05:12 |
| Meshezabeel | ok, trying arecord -f cd | 05:13 |
| Meshezabeel | awesome | 05:14 |
| Meshezabeel | thanks for your help, it works!!! | 05:14 |
| crimsun | np. | 05:14 |
| Meshezabeel | do you have paypal account to send money to? | 05:14 |
| crimsun | nope. | 05:15 |
| crimsun | I'd rather you assist someone else new to {Ed,}ubuntu | 05:15 |
| Meshezabeel | ok, I could do that too! thanks again :) | 05:15 |
| Meshezabeel | this has been frustrating me for a couple of days | 05:16 |
| Meshezabeel | so when is feisty officially released? the 19th? | 05:18 |
| crimsun | the week of the 19th, pending testing | 05:18 |
| Meshezabeel | ok | 05:18 |
| Meshezabeel | ubuntu and edubuntu released on the same day? or edubuntu a bit later? | 05:19 |
| crimsun | same day. | 05:19 |
| Meshezabeel | look forward to it, I hear it is even faster than edgy, but haven't tried it yet | 05:24 |

| SimonAnibal | Anyone here savvy about the differences between single and dual-processor systems? | 09:17 |
| Burgundavia | SimonAnibal: in what sense? | 09:18 |
| SimonAnibal | Well, I'm looking at a couple of laptops; one has an AMD Turion 64 @ 2.0 GHz, one has an AMD Turion 64 X2 @ 1.60 GHz, the dual-core one is $80 more expensive and they are otherwise identical...in your opinion is it worth it to get the dual-core? | 09:19 |
| SimonAnibal | Is the X2 @ 1.60 Ghz sort-of-kind-of the equivalent of a single core @ 3.20? | 09:19 |
| Burgundavia | is it two cores, each at 1.6, or both for 1.6? | 09:20 |
| SimonAnibal | That's kind of my question, I don't know. It's an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50 | 09:20 |
| SimonAnibal | I'm ASSUMING that at $80 more than the normal 64 bit that each is running 1.6 | 09:20 |
| SimonAnibal | but I don' | 09:20 |
| SimonAnibal | t know | 09:21 |
| SimonAnibal | If not, then what's the point? | 09:22 |
| Burgundavia | look deeper into the stats | 09:23 |
| Burgundavia | for a laptop, I would honestly be looking more into the power usage of each processor | 09:23 |
| SimonAnibal | Hmmmm...so do more homework is the bottom line here? | 09:24 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: is there any single person that runs Planet Ubuntu? | 09:25 |
| Burgundavia | LaserJock: not anymore, why? | 09:26 |
| Burgundavia | SimonAnibal: basically, yes | 09:26 |
| Burgundavia | SimonAnibal: you also really want all intel stuff | 09:26 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: I created a Behind MOTU blog and I'll like to put it on planet | 09:26 |
| Burgundavia | ah | 09:26 |
| Burgundavia | hmm, that isn't usually what goes on planet | 09:26 |
| LaserJock | Burgundavia: but I know there was some dicsussion about non-personal blogs being added, ala Package of the Day | 09:26 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 09:27 |
| SimonAnibal | Burgundavia: Thanks, and the only stuff that's in the price range I'm investigating right now is AMD | 09:27 |
| Burgundavia | I would like to see them removed | 09:27 |
| Burgundavia | SimonAnibal: there are lots of great Intel-only laptops | 09:27 |
| SimonAnibal | Burgundavia: Less than $800? I'd love to find them | 09:27 |
| SimonAnibal | Burgundavia: Well, thanks man, I appreciate you taking the time to help. I'm outta here | 09:38 |
| Burgundavia | no worries | 09:38 |

| n8k99 | is there a lighter windows manager that can be dropped into edubuntu to replace metacity? | 10:09 |
| n8k99 | without terribly changing the appearance? | 10:09 |
| LaserJock | well, you can | 10:09 |
| LaserJock | although I'm not sure how much you would gain | 10:10 |
| LaserJock | openbox is one I know | 10:10 |
| n8k99 | i have an incredibly slow and old system- i'd like to run it on | 10:11 |
| LaserJock | you might do better with xfce4 then | 10:11 |
| LaserJock | replacing all of Gnome | 10:11 |
| n8k99 | hmmm... will that keep all teh edubuntu packages in place? | 10:12 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 10:12 |
| n8k99 | thanks | 10:12 |
| LaserJock | well, basically what you can do if you've already got and Edubuntu machine | 10:12 |
| LaserJock | is install xubuntu-desktop | 10:13 |
| n8k99 | i do wantto retain someof theappearanceoftheedubutu look...sillyme | 10:14 |
| n8k99 | ah sorry about the stuck space bar | 10:14 |

| frandavid100 | hey guys | 11:23 |
| frandavid100 | I gave this idea in the gutsy forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410351 | 11:23 |
| frandavid100 | It's about ubuntu for internet cafes, and it's closely related to thin-client-manager | 11:24 |
| frandavid100 | so, you being the experts in TCM I would appreciate it if you could take a look at it and contribute with ideas, or just say that it can or it cannot be done | 11:25 |
| Burgwork | frandavid100: merely needs developers | 11:25 |
| frandavid100 | that's why | 11:25 |
| frandavid100 | if you can say what is needed, maybe it will get some attention | 11:25 |
| frandavid100 | maybe someone will like the idea and code a plugin for tcm | 11:26 |
| Burgwork | you need a couple of things | 11:26 |
| Burgwork | 1. ability to easily turn on guest accounts | 11:26 |
| Burgwork | 2. a daemon to control time | 11:26 |
| Burgwork | 3. a tool to manage 2 | 11:26 |
| === mattva01 is now known as mattva01|afk | ||
| frandavid100 | yup, the guest account thing has been proposed as well | 11:27 |
| frandavid100 | anyway I would like you guys to say that there in the thread, I don't have any technical knowledge so if you give some info in the thread it will be more useful than telling... well, me. | 11:28 |
| frandavid100 | you'd be taken more seriously too, being tcm devs | 11:28 |
| Burgwork | guest account has nothing to do with tcm | 11:32 |
| frandavid100 | then I didn't understand you when you said that you need to easily turn on guest accounts | 11:34 |
| LaserJock | frandavid100: well, you'll want a guest account for people to us, right? | 11:37 |
| LaserJock | you wouldn't want each person to get their own account | 11:38 |
| ajmitch | hi Burgwork | 11:40 |
| frandavid100 | yup | 11:40 |
| ajmitch | the gutsy forum is open already? interesting | 11:40 |
| frandavid100 | there is supposed to be a guest account, where all new files and settings would be deleted after logoff | 11:41 |
| frandavid100 | at least that's the proposal | 11:41 |
| LaserJock | ajmitch: have you seen how many "ideas" there are? :-) | 11:42 |
| LaserJock | frandavid100: right, but that has nothing to do with TCM | 11:43 |
| ajmitch | LaserJock: just looking & wincing now | 11:43 |
| ajmitch | wonderful ideas, all of them | 11:43 |
| frandavid100 | yeah, but tcm could control clients in an internet cafe environments right? | 11:44 |
| LaserJock | sure | 11:44 |
| frandavid100 | that's my point | 11:44 |
| frandavid100 | the guest accounts would just serve the same purpose | 11:44 |
| Burgwork | hey ajmitch | 11:44 |
| cbx33 | hey Burgwork | 11:53 |
| frandavid100 | well, I gotta leave | 12:00 |
| frandavid100 | please speak your mind in the thread, even if to say how someone who wants to do the necessary plugins can contact you | 12:01 |
| frandavid100 | bye! | 12:01 |
