| TheSheep | Shiandar: I dont think so, what card is that? Intel? Nvidia? | 00:03 |

| anom01y | wow, my sound card is crashed | 00:15 |
| anom01y | !pulseaudio | 00:16 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 00:16 |
| anom01y | !sound | 00:16 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:16 |

| TheSheep | anom01y: you can also /msg the bot | 00:31 |
| anom01y | Im having troubles with my sound card, It is a via vt1708/a | 00:33 |
| anom01y | nothing plays although the sound is at a max. | 00:35 |
| TheSheep | how are you testing it? | 00:41 |
| anom01y | TheSheep, sorry its a 82xx | 00:42 |
| anom01y | via82xx | 00:43 |
| anom01y | I am testing using different players | 00:43 |
| anom01y | its funny bewcause it was working 3 days ago | 00:43 |
| anom01y | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=da9cba069eb8ad6e8cb9ea93bbcea0c2346fc8d2 | 00:45 |
| TheSheep | can you open a terminal, run 'alsamixer' and make sure everything is unmuted? | 00:47 |
| anom01y | TheSheep, there are only two volume controls in alsamixergui | 00:49 |
| anom01y | and it says card: pulseaudio | 00:49 |
| anom01y | chip: pulseaudio | 00:49 |
| TheSheep | you also have ubuntu? | 00:50 |
| anom01y | xubuntu 9.04 | 00:50 |
| anom01y | should I have gnome services turned on ? | 00:51 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu normally comes without pulseaudio | 00:51 |
| anom01y | hmm | 00:51 |
| anom01y | I wonder how I got pulseaudio installed thats probably my problem right there | 00:52 |
| TheSheep | you can try removing it | 00:52 |
| anom01y | should I uninstall pulseaudio | 00:52 |
| anom01y | ok | 00:52 |
| anom01y | done | 00:53 |
| anom01y | TheSheep, | 00:55 |
| anom01y | I tried sudo alsa reload and that didnt work | 00:55 |
| anom01y | should I reset the computer ? alsamixergui won't even open anymore .. | 00:56 |
| TheSheep | anom01y: I suppose so | 01:00 |
| anom01y | alsa is such a pain | 01:00 |
| anom01y | eahh well thanks for your help I will be right back | 01:01 |
| mdshaw89 | are there any guides for upgrading to Xubuntu from Kubuntu? | 03:08 |
| Raggs | install the xubuntu-desktop | 03:11 |
| mdshaw89 | cool - thanks! | 03:15 |
| SML1226 | I just finished installing and for some reason it says it is read only, anybody know how to fix? | 04:00 |
| SML1226 | My Ubuntu drive is read only if that was unclear | 04:01 |
| Raggs | SML1226, as user? | 04:03 |
| SML1226 | I just installed it and when I tried to make a text file it said read only filesystem | 04:04 |
| Raggs | ok, where did you try to make the text file | 04:06 |
| SML1226 | Documents | 04:06 |
| SML1226 | *name*/Documents/ folder | 04:07 |
| Raggs | open a term and type ls -l and paste the information about that folder | 04:07 |
| SML1226 | L or i? | 04:08 |
| Raggs | lower case L | 04:08 |
| SML1226 | Stupid firefox won't open, hang on | 04:11 |
| Raggs | firefox? | 04:11 |
| maduser | why you opening firefox? | 04:11 |
| Raggs | what i was wondering | 04:12 |
| SML1226 | pastebin | 04:12 |
| Raggs | it should be only one line | 04:12 |

| SML1226 | stupid laptop keys!! | 04:13 |
| Raggs | SML1226, still have a term open? | 04:13 |
| SML1226 | yep | 04:14 |
| Raggs | cd Documents | 04:14 |
| Raggs | touch test | 04:14 |
| Raggs | any error? | 04:15 |
| SML1226 | froze before I could test! nothing is working now Going to restart and try again. | 04:15 |
| SML1226 | brb | 04:15 |
| Raggs | oh boy | 04:15 |
| maduser | Raggs wouldn't a chmod 777 work here on the home dir? | 04:15 |
| maduser | don't want to make this to complex for the guy | 04:16 |
| Raggs | maduser, i am not sure that is his problem, his permisions are the same as mine | 04:17 |
| Raggs | and i can write to my documents | 04:17 |
| maduser | ah just checked mine same here | 04:18 |
| Raggs | so the issue is not making a text document, it is something simpler that we just havent figured out | 04:18 |
| maduser | test if he can do it in root? | 04:19 |
| Raggs | not yet, need to find out how he tried to make the text file | 04:19 |
| maduser | k | 04:19 |
| Raggs | sometimes the easiest fix just covers up a real problem | 04:20 |
| maduser | yeah | 04:21 |
| Raggs | however if it is an xubuntu issue i will be at a disadvantage | 04:22 |
| maduser | how so? | 04:22 |
| Raggs | I'm not running it | 04:22 |
| Raggs | i usually run Debian | 04:23 |
| maduser | lol I'm doing the same except i'm doing that in the puppy Linux | 04:23 |
| maduser | at least debain and ubuntu are similar | 04:23 |
| Raggs | yes, and no, they are similar but Debian is a little better in the cli | 04:24 |
| Raggs | OR i am just more used to using Debian | 04:24 |
| maduser | wait i've used linuxes across the board and made my own with lfs and never saw a cli difference except in the apps | 04:25 |
| maduser | or wait, dosn't ubuntu use a custom kernel? | 04:25 |
| Raggs | maduser, it is the reliance on them, ubuntus are more set up so they dont have to be used much | 04:26 |
| maduser | thats it | 04:26 |
| maduser | but when they do, oh boy | 04:26 |
| Raggs | when they do they come here and ask help | 04:27 |
| maduser | yeah | 04:27 |
| Raggs | but that is ok, and i usually have patience for this | 04:28 |
| TheSheep | please do n't tell m=people to set their homes to 777 | 04:29 |
| TheSheep | sorry for typos | 04:29 |
| Raggs | TheSheep, np | 04:30 |
| maduser | I rember this poor dude in #kubuntu that completely messed up his computer because he didn't know what he was doing | 04:30 |
| Raggs | maduser, not all people should run linux | 04:30 |
| Raggs | most should, but not all | 04:30 |
| maduser | sorry I got used to telling people that because they had no clue what to do and where complaining for a fix | 04:30 |
| TheSheep | nonsense, just not all of them should have root access :) | 04:30 |
| maduser | lol | 04:31 |
| Raggs | TheSheep, there ya go | 04:31 |
| Raggs | i always run as root | 04:31 |
| TheSheep | Raggs: coming from dos, eh? | 04:31 |
| maduser | in ubuntu aren't you root jr if you don't specify otherwise? | 04:31 |
| TheSheep | the first user gets sudo access | 04:32 |
| TheSheep | you still need to type the password, which is nice when running scripts that try to do things as root behind your back | 04:32 |
| maduser | that concept could be exploited by a linux virus | 04:33 |
| TheSheep | 'hi, I'm a linux virus, type your password to let me spread' | 04:34 |
| maduser | hey the same people that come in here for comandline help.......... | 04:34 |
| Raggs | should have told him to sudo rm -rf / | 04:35 |
| maduser | I did once in in a channel and got banned cause they guy was pissing me off | 04:35 |
| maduser | I learned since not to do that | 04:36 |
| TheSheep | Raggs: it's not worth it, it is a community after all, you'd have hard time looking for help for yourself | 04:36 |
| Raggs | TheSheep, was joking | 04:36 |
| maduser | anyway google provides most of these answers even if you didn't come here | 04:36 |
| TheSheep | plus, if you want linux to grow and become better, give people real, long-term solutions | 04:37 |
| Raggs | TheSheep I believe i was | 04:37 |
| TheSheep | maduser: the problem is you have to know where to look and what to look for, starting with knowing the right words | 04:37 |
| TheSheep | Raggs: I'm not refering to your help in particular, I didn't pay attention | 04:38 |
| TheSheep | Raggs: just generally speaking | 04:38 |
| TheSheep | have you read "in the beginning was the command line" by Neal Stephenson? :) | 04:38 |
| Raggs | i have not | 04:38 |
| maduser | where is the dude with the problem? | 04:39 |
| TheSheep | I guess he's reinstalling hoping it will fix things... | 04:39 |
| maduser | the funniest helping moments come when people have X problems | 04:40 |
| maduser | there like what theres a comandline under the GUI? | 04:40 |
| maduser | and they go waste their time reinstalling | 04:41 |
| TheSheep | it didn't break for itself, it won't fix itself | 04:41 |
| maduser | the fixes in ubuntu compared to others are simple in comparison | 04:42 |
| TheSheep | how so? | 04:42 |
| Raggs | i was lucky to be forced to learn cli before doing things with a gui | 04:42 |
| maduser | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:43 |
| Raggs | a perfectly good graphical editor and the guy who taught me always had me do things in vi | 04:43 |
| TheSheep | what's wrong with vi? | 04:44 |
| TheSheep | it's a perfectly good editor, and has a graphical version too | 04:44 |
| Raggs | lol, nothing, but there are easier ways | 04:44 |
| TheSheep | you have to tell me one day, I don't know anything faster and easier | 04:44 |
| Raggs | gedit is easier coming from windows | 04:45 |
| Raggs | or kedit | 04:45 |
| TheSheep | ew, I'd have to manually position the cursor character-by-character | 04:46 |
| sml1226 | Howdo I update 8.04 LTSto 9.04? | 04:47 |
| TheSheep | !upgrade | 04:47 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 04:47 |

| sml1226 | Yeah thanks | 04:49 |
| sml1226 | Gotit now | 04:49 |
| Raggs | ok, glad to hear it | 04:49 |
| maduser | what was the problem? | 04:49 |
| TheSheep | what was it? | 04:49 |
| Raggs | later folks, look forward to chatting again | 04:51 |
| sml1226 | Needed to know how to get to 9.04 from 8.04 LTS | 04:51 |
| sml1226 | That wasthe problem | 04:51 |
| Raggs | what about the text file problem? | 04:51 |
| sml1226 | I hate this keyboard | 04:51 |
| sml1226 | Stupid spacebar | 04:51 |
| TheSheep | I think he's not the same sml | 04:53 |
| maduser | ip's match | 04:54 |
| sml1226 | Same one | 04:55 |
| maduser | how did you fix your read only problem? | 04:56 |
| sml1226 | Stupid DVD had errors. Used 8.04 CD | 04:56 |
| sml1226 | Thats why needed to know how to gwt 9.04on here | 04:56 |
| sml1226 | get* | 04:57 |
| TheSheep | sml1226: you've seen that web page? | 04:57 |
| sml1226 | Yeah it helped, updating before the upgrade to 8.10 :( | 04:57 |
| sml1226 | Need 2 updates | 04:57 |
| TheSheep | yeah, you can update directly only between LTS-es | 04:58 |
| sml1226 | 8.10 and 9.04 | 04:58 |
| sml1226 | Doyou know how to remove a distro altogether? | 04:58 |
| sml1226 | I addedKubuntu and want to remove it. | 04:59 |
| maduser | oh I do | 04:59 |
| maduser | rm........... | 04:59 |
| sml1226 | Removes all apps and ui? | 04:59 |
| maduser | TheSheep :) | 04:59 |
| maduser | no the easiest way i can think of it to format the partition | 05:00 |
| maduser | or just delete all the files in the partition | 05:00 |
| maduser | and remove kubuntu form grub | 05:00 |
| maduser | from | 05:00 |
| sml1226 | did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop not separate partitions | 05:01 |
| sml1226 | both on same one | 05:01 |
| maduser | oh you used that command | 05:01 |
| maduser | I thought you got the cd | 05:01 |
| sml1226 | don't want the apps wasting space | 05:02 |
| maduser | you have to specfiy that | 05:02 |
| sml1226 | oops :o | 05:02 |
| maduser | apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop | 05:02 |
| sml1226 | doesn't remove the apps | 05:02 |

| om26er | how to install xorg development package | 07:47 |
| gabkdlly | om26er: hi | 07:51 |
| gabkdlly | sudo apt-get install xorg-dev | 07:51 |
| gabkdlly | I think that is what you need | 07:51 |
| Rosse | Hello! | 09:44 |
| gabkdlly | hi | 09:44 |
| Rosse | Does anyone know the name Ubuntu uses for the madwifi driver package? | 09:53 |
| gabkdlly | Rosse: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75451 | 10:11 |
| gabkdlly | Rosse: I googled for "madwifi ubuntu" | 10:11 |
| gabkdlly | Rosse: hope that helps | 10:12 |
| Rosse | thank you :3 | 10:13 |
| Rosse | although this seems to date from before it was included in the distro | 10:13 |
| gabkdlly | Rosse: actually, System -> Hardware Drivers might do this for you | 10:17 |
| gabkdlly | Rosse: ath_pci still seems to be in the current version of linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-11-generic | 10:17 |
| gabkdlly | Rosse: I checked on packages.ubuntu.com | 10:17 |
| Rosse | gabkdlly: Thank you. I'm using madwifi now. The problem is that other user accounts don't seem to be using it. | 10:18 |
| gabkdlly | Rosse: wierd | 10:19 |
| Rosse | gabkdlly: at least I think that's the problem. Other accounts randomly disconnect from the network like when I was using ath5k | 10:20 |
| gabkdlly | check by logging in as the offending user, and running lsmod | 10:21 |
| gabkdlly | it would surprise me if kernel modules were loaded differently for different users | 10:21 |

| Slonkie | Can i restart the panels? | 11:01 |
| gabkdlly | I think "killall xfce4-panel" should work | 11:04 |
| gabkdlly | followed by alt+f2 ... | 11:05 |
| Slonkie | Were you talking to me, gabkdlly ? | 11:06 |

| mib_on9qfz | Can anyone help me with making a launcher run a command in a terminal? | 12:19 |
| SiDi | mib_on9qfz: make a .sh file | 12:25 |
| SiDi | put your commands inside it | 12:25 |
| SiDi | chmod +x it | 12:25 |
| SiDi | and call it from the launcher | 12:26 |
| mib_on9qfz | Sidi: Thanks for the response. It that the only way it will work with xfce4? | 12:27 |
| SiDi | the launchers use the "exec" command | 12:28 |
| SiDi | so they need to execute an executable file | 12:28 |
| SiDi | be it a shell script or a binary | 12:28 |
| mib_on9qfz | SiDi: here is my example I want to run /tmp/foo.sh and if I make a launcher and put that as the command it will not work. | 12:29 |
| mib_on9qfz | SiDi: it will only cause the terminal to freeze up. No prompt or anything. | 12:29 |
| SiDi | it works fine here | 12:31 |
| SiDi | show me your .sh file please | 12:31 |
| mib_on9qfz | SiDi: /tmp/foo.sh = echo foo I know the script works | 12:31 |
| SiDi | and make sure it's chmod+x'd | 12:31 |
| mib_on9qfz | it is | 12:31 |
| SiDi | do you execute it in a terminal ? | 12:31 |
| mib_on9qfz | SiDi: it runs fine from a terminal that I open up but just not as a launcher. | 12:31 |
| SiDi | also, add a sleep 1 so you have the time to _see_ it :D | 12:31 |
| SiDi | Put it as a launcher and in the launcher options make sure to check the 'Run in terminal' box | 12:32 |
| mib_on9qfz | SiDI: I have done all that to no avail. | 12:32 |
| mib_on9qfz | SIDI: The terminal launches and then it is frozen with the prompt (just a green square) in the upper left hand corner. | 12:33 |
| mib_on9qfz | SiDi: the script never gets ran. and the terminal is useless. The only way to close it is file, exit | 12:34 |
| SiDi | it works fine here :/ | 12:34 |
| SiDi | that happens when an "echo hi" script ? | 12:34 |
| mib_on9qfz | SiDi: Ok I got it to work. | 12:44 |
| mib_on9qfz | SiDi: When I run the script /tmp.foo.sh is there a way to get the terminal to stay open ? | 12:45 |
| mib_on9qfz | SiDi: If I add sleep it does just that and then exits, and the terminal can't be used for other commands. | 12:46 |
| SiDi | you still can add xfce4-terminal at the end if you need a prompt when its finished | 12:49 |
| SiDi | i dont know any more elegant way | 12:49 |

| denn1 | hello | 15:19 |
| denn1 | anyone here | 15:19 |
| SiDi | hi | 15:20 |
| denn1 | i need help, someone please? | 15:20 |
| denn1 | thank you | 15:20 |
| SiDi | You shouldn't bother to ask if you can get help, you know ;) | 15:20 |
| denn1 | i installed a driver for my ati x1300, and now i get the "white screen of death" if it wheren't for the live cd, i'd be toast. | 15:20 |
| SiDi | Just ask a question and wait for someone to read it ;) | 15:20 |
| SiDi | Where did you get this driver ? | 15:21 |
| denn1 | um, good question. ubuntu literally offered it to me, a little green cicuit board on the top of gnome's deskbat | 15:21 |
| denn1 | *bar | 15:21 |
| denn1 | from what research i did, i think it was the fglrx driver, and i think the problem is that i had the graphics options all the way up for the gui. but i cant find a solution on the net, or i didnt use the right search terms... | 15:23 |
| SiDi | Okey | 15:26 |
| SiDi | then if its the ubuntu ones there indeed is a problem | 15:26 |
| SiDi | you should boot in recovery mode and reset your xorg settings from there | 15:26 |
| denn1 | yes, i think i found the solution | 15:26 |
| denn1 | i have to go to command prompt and use dpkg to remove that driver (using su ofcoarse.) | 15:27 |
| denn1 | ok | 15:27 |
| denn1 | how do i do that, because grub goes straight into normal boot, this version of ubuntu doesnt even ask me what linux vore i want to boot to | 15:27 |
| denn1 | *core | 15:27 |
| denn1 | my grub doesnt offer a recovery mode option... and i didn't mess with grub, is this a new setting? | 15:31 |

| spY|da | hi there is a installation via usb stick possible? | 19:22 |
| SiDi | Yeh | 19:28 |
| SiDi | follow the same procedure as for Ubuntu, but with a Xubuntu iso | 19:28 |
| SiDi | !liveusb | 19:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb | 19:28 |
| SiDi | !unetbootin | 19:28 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 19:28 |
| SiDi | !usb | 19:28 |
| spY|da | k done that nothing happens, knoppix via usb is booting fine | 19:41 |
| spY|da | going to search my failure | 19:42 |
| spY|da | no chance "This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy an press any key to try again" displayed by the stick | 20:03 |
| Araneidae | Any ideas: BIOS says I have 3G RAM installed, but Ubuntu only sees 2.5G! | 20:06 |
| SiDi | Araneidae: what does lshw say ? | 20:07 |
| SiDi | And what does a memtest say ? | 20:07 |
| Araneidae | Don't know lshw... just about to try it | 20:08 |
| SiDi | the output 'll be big | 20:08 |
| SiDi | usually RAM is on the beginning | 20:08 |
| SiDi | for the memtest you have a boot option for it in grub | 20:08 |
| Araneidae | Wow: says a lot! | 20:08 |
| Araneidae | Ok, sees four banks: 0.5G, 1G, 0.5G, 1G as expected | 20:09 |
| Araneidae | I think memtest also only saw 2.5G, but found it a bit hard to interpret | 20:09 |
| SiDi | hm | 20:10 |
| SiDi | so you have 4 sticks ? | 20:10 |
| Araneidae | Here's what lshw has to say: http://pastebin.com/d21da60b2 | 20:11 |
| Araneidae | Yes. | 20:11 |
| SiDi | thats an old machine, right ? | 20:12 |
| SiDi | its at 333MHz Oo | 20:12 |
| Araneidae | Fairly old... | 20:12 |
| Araneidae | Didn't think it was all that ancient, but evidently it is! | 20:12 |
| Araneidae | The motherboard was a cast-off from a friend, so must be fairly old. | 20:12 |
| Araneidae | It's still got some old PCI slots, as well as a PCIEx16 | 20:12 |
| SiDi | thats not SO old then :) | 20:13 |
| Araneidae | didn't think so | 20:13 |
| SiDi | where does it say you have 2.5GB btw ? | 20:13 |
| SiDi | in the system monitor ? | 20:13 |
| Araneidae | Top, for example | 20:13 |
| SiDi | Show me a screenshot please | 20:14 |
| Araneidae | /proc/meminfo says: MemTotal: 2579544 kB | 20:14 |
| SiDi | Okey | 20:14 |
| Araneidae | /proc/meminfo: http://pastebin.com/d102d09c5 | 20:14 |
| SiDi | im likely to be wrong but one reason could be that the 4 sticks of RAM are low-end, and not exactly 500MB and 1GB sticks | 20:15 |
| Araneidae | How do you mean, not exactly? | 20:15 |
| SiDi | well, my 2 GB stick is actually a 2.05GB stick in my server | 20:15 |
| SiDi | while this laptop has two 2GB sticks that actually are 1.9GB | 20:16 |
| Araneidae | Hmm. But lshw reports GiB and MiB pedantically | 20:16 |
| Araneidae | Think they really do fill up the address space; never heard of memory that doesn't! | 20:16 |
| SiDi | lshw reads the constructor info | 20:16 |
| SiDi | oh i said i may be wrong btw, heh :P | 20:17 |
| Araneidae | heh | 20:17 |
| SiDi | but the only other cause i'd see is that the kernel doesnt manage to use 4 sticks at a time | 20:17 |
| SiDi | but i'd find it odd | 20:17 |
| SiDi | even if im not sure old windows boxes were able to | 20:17 |
| Araneidae | Ah well. Guess my next step is to check the motherboard manual, make sure I've put things in correctly... maybe it likes banks to be filled differently. | 20:17 |
| Araneidae | Odd though. | 20:17 |
| Araneidae | It's an ASUS A8N-E mb. | 20:18 |
| SiDi | anyways its not like you're losing A LOT of ram :) | 20:18 |
| Araneidae | No, that's true. I can live with it, but going to investigate a bit more. | 20:18 |
| SiDi | but maybe you should ask in #ubuntu-kernel or in #kernel directly | 20:18 |
| Araneidae | Thanks for pointing me to lshw! | 20:18 |
| Araneidae | Cheers. Got to go now | 20:19 |
| SiDi | have a nice evening then ;) | 20:20 |
| sml1226 | Finally got everything set up and I'm loving Compiz now :D | 20:26 |

| ramrod | or to be exact | 20:31 |
| sml1226 | K thanks couldn't remember how to see | 20:31 |
| ramrod | uname -m | 20:31 |
| ramrod | np ^^ | 20:31 |
| sml1226 | Know why I can't change icon for firefox in AWN? | 20:32 |

| ron_o | Opera is really starting to suck | 21:14 |
| ron_o | it's OK w/o flash/javascript/plugins/java running. But what good is a browser without those? | 21:14 |
| Naisenu | Hi. I have a fresh install of xubuntu jaunty and i can't find OOo in the repos and it's not installed | 21:37 |
| Naisenu | there is an openoffice.org-dtd-officedocument10 but this appears to be legacy | 21:37 |
| TheSheep | !repos | 21:43 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 21:43 |
| Naisenu | Thank you. I know what the repos are and where they are. However, I am stating that OOo is not available. | 21:44 |
| TheSheep | Naisenu: you are mistaken | 21:50 |
| Naisenu | Unfortunately I am not | 21:50 |
| Naisenu | Unless you would like to come here and look at my repos | 21:51 |
| TheSheep | !info openoffice.org-writer | 21:51 |
| ubottu | openoffice.org-writer (source: openoffice.org): full-featured office productivity suite -- word processor. In component main, is optional. Version 1:3.0.1-9ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 5475 kB, installed size 21220 kB | 21:51 |
| Naisenu | I have looked through that section multiple times. Every section is checked practically under repositories. It is not there. | 21:52 |
| TheSheep | ok, so me, ubottu and all other users just hallucinate that it is there | 21:52 |
| Naisenu | Or mine is broken | 21:53 |
| TheSheep | did you click on 'update'? | 21:54 |
| Naisenu | Either way, you can't argue against what I can see on my computer. I am not calling you or your bot a liar, just telling you that what you claim should be there does not exist on my computer. And yes, "Reload" has been pressed at least 3 times. | 21:55 |
| TheSheep | if the addresses of repositories you have really match those on that web page, and they are updated, and you still don't have a 'openoffice.org-writer' package and friends, then I am out of ideas. Are you sure this is xubuntu? | 21:58 |
| Naisenu | Don't patronize me. I am fully sure this is xubuntu jaunty i386 normal distro | 21:59 |
| TheSheep | maybe someone else can think about what might be wrong | 22:00 |
| TheSheep | or you can check forums and wiki and google | 22:00 |
| TheSheep | oh, you can also download and install the packages manually from http://packages.ubuntu.com | 22:01 |
