[14:44] <ace_suares1> hey ogra
[14:46] <ace_suares1> is everybody extermely busy with some karmic cycle or on vacation or what.... it's very veyr quiet...
[19:52] <out-of-hand> good evening to everyone ... can someone please assist me .. im still new to Ubuntu. i have already got Edubuntu Gcompris 8.4.4 installed , i see there is a updated version or Gcompris 8.4.12 . i downloaded Gcompris 8.4.12.tar.gz .... but having difficulty trying to understand how to i install the new version ? can anyone assist me ?
[19:54] <alkisg> !info gcompris
[19:55] <out-of-hand> huh ?
[19:55] <alkisg> out-of-hand: you'd have to compile from source, or backport it to hardy... That would be hard for someone new to ubuntu
[19:56] <alkisg> That version that you say is only present in the development version, 9.10, which will be out in October
[19:58] <out-of-hand> yes agreed , im trying to google it .. and find a way to install it ... although from my understanding i see in the tar.gz file a file called "intltool-update" and gcompris-installer.nsi.in ... but i have no idea what im doing when i click them to open
[19:58] <out-of-hand> oh ... ok
[19:59] <alkisg> nsi is the windows nsis installer, it isn't used in ubuntu
[19:59] <alkisg> So the best thing to do I think would be to stick to the packaged version :)
[20:00] <out-of-hand> ok :) thanks ... i was un aware it was nsi ... windows installer
[20:01] <out-of-hand> is there anywhere i can learn basics or shell commands ? i hate the idea that i get stuck ... used to stupid windows EXE  and self installers
[20:01] <alkisg> The tar.gz is the whose source code, which can be compiled for linux distros or windows. But if you're new to linux, then compiling from source will only bring you trouble
[20:02] <out-of-hand> alkisg thanks for that ... i was confused
[20:02] <alkisg> I'm sure google will show a lot of tutorials for shell introduction...
[20:02] <alkisg> ...I don't have something specific to propose to you, though
[20:03] <out-of-hand> oh .. not a problem :) u have been helpful :) thanks alot
[20:04] <alkisg> You're welcome
[20:05] <out-of-hand> cant i get some code like all security updates on a CD ... basically what i need to do it install a fresh version of ubuntu and the pc has not internet, so i would like to download the all current updates on a cd and install it via the cd ? is there a way?
[20:06] <out-of-hand> is it a off line repository ---  i think ?
