[08:05] <mdke> ryanakca: I can try, but you need to send me unencrypted email, I can't read that with gmail
[08:06] <mdke> ryanakca: and yes, RT is the only way to get the sysadmins to do stuff. I don't know what the likely response time is
[23:12] <seraph-os> hi everyone
[23:13] <seraph-os> am i logged in anyone see me type?
[23:13] <seraph-os> anyone?
[23:15] <MadsRH> yes :-)
[23:17] <seraph-os> yay
[23:18] <seraph-os> so where is everyone?
[23:18] <seraph-os> new to ubuntu and was looken for some help(s)
[23:19] <MadsRH> Well, 12 people here. What kind of help?
[23:19] <seraph-os> ummm where to begin...
[23:20] <seraph-os> im trying to use compiz and my system crashes when i try use options
[23:20] <seraph-os> and cant seem to get my optical drivvvvve to regognise copied media
[23:20] <rxMokka> seraph-os: this is a chat about the _website_
[23:21] <seraph-os> oh
[23:21] <seraph-os> i just cant find anything lol
[23:21] <MadsRH> seraph-os -> I have to say, I feel the forum is the best place to get help. But other people like other ways. Have you tried the #ubuntu
[23:21] <seraph-os> hmm
[23:21] <seraph-os> sry
[23:23] <MadsRH> seraph-os -> here's a few ways you could go: http://www.ubuntu.com/support
[23:24] <seraph-os> well in any case considering this is the website then is their a way not only to download the ubuntu iso but also all the updates and media etc. in something close to one file or 2?
[23:26] <rxMokka> seraph-os: why not just get iso, then immediately run system update?
[23:27] <seraph-os> i did
[23:27] <seraph-os> except lol ive done it about 15 times
[23:27] <seraph-os> lol i guess it wants to crash on me
[23:28] <seraph-os> just wondered if i was possible to download everything u need somhow
[23:28] <rxMokka> copy the downloaded .deb files to an external source for easy re-installation of the updates
[23:28] <rxMokka> you don't "need" updates
[23:28] <seraph-os> where are the deb files?
[23:29] <seraph-os> sry i don't mean toaste ur time a newb...
[23:29] <rxMokka> /var/apt/archive I believe? run a search for *.deb under /var
[23:29] <rxMokka> there's probably an apt-backup or something that you can install that'll do it for you
[23:30] <seraph-os> well now that i know i can just move those files i guess it would be easier lol
