[12:36] transmission [12:36] ciro314, ok give me a minute to search for it in the repositories [12:37] i had no notice about that [12:37] i will search [12:37] ciro314: if you still have the directory in which you installed, you may try to do 'sudo make uninstall' in it [12:37] ciro314, how did you install the program? [12:37] from source [12:37] ciro314, did you compile it with make [12:37] ok [12:37] then [12:37] ./configure [12:38] you cant uninstall it UNLESS they provide an uninstaller [12:38] open a terminal [12:38] and type: cd [12:38] yes [12:38] being a space [12:38] hahaha [12:38] and then drag the source code folder into the terminal window [12:38] and hit enter [12:38] yeah [12:39] ok [12:39] yes [12:39] once you've done that [12:39] then type: sudo make uninstall [12:39] done [12:39] ok, its uninstalled [12:39] perfectly [12:39] thanks [12:39] np [12:40] how would you install transmission??

[12:41] well find one somewhere lol [12:41] oh [12:42] go to google [12:42] search [12:42] transmission filetype:deb [12:42] exactly like that [12:42] i found it yesterday [12:42] and look for a binary [12:42] but i did not know i could install deb packages [12:42] if you cant find a deb binary, then source is your only choice [12:43] ok [12:43] deb packages are debian software packages [12:43] deb packages should be opened with xarchiver?? [12:43] ciro314: no, with gdebi [12:43] you should install the deb package manager [12:43] U/K/Xubuntu is BASED on Debian [12:43] so all debian packages should work [12:43] or use the command line [12:43] ok. gdebi is on synaptic [12:44] and how could i uninstall a deb package? [12:44] yeah just install gdebi [12:44] you would go to synaptic [12:44] search its name [12:44] and click on the green/white box [12:44] and hit uninstall [12:44] then apply [12:44] aha. ok [12:44] it is very easy [12:45] !enter | maddog39 [12:45] maddog39: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[01:28] it's my wife's laptop - she's a strictly games/email/web person [01:29] aum: well, xubuntu lacks some gui applications and setting dialogs that are present in ubuntu -- most noticeably, you can't browse samba shares without installing an additional program [01:29] aum: you can however always install any program from the ubuntu repositories [01:29] aum: the only drawback to Linux in general is the gaming scene is still developing. As for Xubuntu vs. Ubuntu, I only miss some of the interesting panel apps [01:29] no need for samba shares once she's on nix - she's the last windows user left in the house :) [01:30] the thing my wife will miss though is chatting to her daughter on msn messenger [01:30] aum: I'm not sure, but I think that gaim supports msn [01:30] aum: it does [01:30] and does gaim integrate well with the xfce WM?

For everyday use xubuntu works faster and has beautiful desktop. [01:32] Lectus: you can set up a crosscompiler for windows programming ;) [01:32] does the xubuntu installer set up dual-boot? [01:32] yep [01:33] I installed it here as dual boot [01:33] sweet [01:33] aum: yes, it looks if you have windows installed and includes it in the menu [01:33] k [01:33] aum: just press esc when booting, and the menu will popup [01:33] so it doesn't show the grub menu by default?
