| Linuxie | hello | 17:58 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | Hi | 18:00 |
| Linuxie | i'm trying to add a radio station to the Rythmbox | 19:16 |
| Linuxie | says i'm missing a plugin.. when i search for it it won't find any | 19:17 |
| alkisg | For general ubuntu questions, you'd better ask in #ubuntu | 19:19 |
| Linuxie | am i in the wrong room? | 19:19 |
| alkisg | More or less, yes | 19:19 |
| Linuxie | i'm using edubuntu live dvd | 19:20 |
| alkisg | Type /j #ubuntu to go to the ubuntu channel | 19:20 |
| Linuxie | those rooms are too crowded.. no one answers | 19:20 |
| alkisg | edubuntu is based on ubuntu, so for general ubuntu questions, you'll get more answers there | 19:20 |
| Linuxie | so what is this room for? | 19:21 |
| alkisg | This channel is more focused to things that are _not_ in an ubuntu installation | 19:21 |
| alkisg | E.g. for educational software, for ltsp (thin clients), etc | 19:21 |
| Linuxie | well how about the irc client | 19:21 |
| alkisg | Whatever you can find in the ubuntu live CD, you'd better ask in #ubuntu about it | 19:21 |
| Linuxie | i have to use the webclient | 19:21 |
| alkisg | You can ask here too, sure, but I doubt if anyone will answer... | 19:22 |
| Linuxie | well there's nothing going on in this room anyways.. i'm just looking for some experienced linux help.. :) | 19:23 |
| Linuxie | i'm new to linux | 19:23 |
| Linuxie | i have been to so many channels.. folks just don't answer | 19:24 |
| alkisg | You need to ask the right questions in the right channels | 19:25 |
| Linuxie | there are so many rooms with many people but no activity | 19:25 |
| alkisg | For rythmbox, there's an irc channel in the gnome server | 19:25 |
| Linuxie | i'm been to ubuntu, linux, newbies, and all the respective distros channel | 19:25 |
| Linuxie | been doing this for weeks | 19:25 |
| alkisg | Well, if you have any educational software question, this is the right channel. Otherwise I don't think you'll get any answers here too. Try #rhythmbox on irc.gnome.org | 19:26 |
| Linuxie | i went to #nvidia to get help as to why my desktop features don't work.. like compiz | 19:26 |
| Linuxie | but no answer | 19:26 |
| Linuxie | well i thought edubuntu was related to all questions regarding the edubuntu distro | 19:27 |
| Linuxie | oh well | 19:27 |
| alkisg | There's a good possibility that noone here knows to answer you rythmbox question. That's why the right questions need to be asked to the right channels. | 19:28 |
| Linuxie | actually rythmbox is just an example i have many other | 19:29 |
| alkisg | OK, the same answer for others too. | 19:29 |
| alkisg | If they're educational software, then people here might know the answer. If not, they probably don't. | 19:29 |
| Linuxie | i keep hearing about the sugar on a stick | 19:30 |
| Linuxie | do you have any experience in that | 19:30 |
| Linuxie | that's all education | 19:30 |
| alkisg | Not personally, so just wait for any others to see that question and answer it if they know about sugar. | 19:31 |
| alkisg | Also, it would help if the question was more specific, e.g. did you run into any problems with it? etc etc. | 19:32 |
| Linuxie | some distros have it pre-loaded on the live cd or dvd but many don't | 19:34 |
| Linuxie | so i would like to add but don't know much about it | 19:34 |
| Linuxie | and there's not much help anywhere | 19:35 |
| Linuxie | it is basically for kids | 19:35 |
| Linuxie | between 8-12 | 19:35 |
| Linuxie | since i'm new to linux.. i really don't know which one to install on a hd | 19:36 |
| Linuxie | so i'm trying to gain all knowledge so if i want to pools my own selection of software then i can do that smoothly | 19:36 |
| Linuxie | some things work off the bat in some distros but in others it is a hassle | 19:37 |
| Linuxie | i don't know how else to go about it.. | 19:38 |
| Linuxie | i have tried users group, various channels, read a ton of material, gone through some tutorials of which many are outdated, | 19:39 |
| Linuxie | what else can i do | 19:39 |
| Linuxie | sometimes installations don't work from the gui but they work from the cli | 19:40 |
| Linuxie | but each distro has a diff way of updating, installing etc. | 19:40 |
| Linuxie | my LUG meet once in a month and then theres not enough volunteers | 19:41 |
| Linuxie | :) | 19:41 |
| Linuxie | i'm not complaining.. just looking how else to go about it | 19:41 |
| alkisg | I'm not sure I understand your problem. | 19:43 |
| Linuxie | hahahah | 19:43 |
| Linuxie | never mind | 19:43 |
| alkisg | I believe you need a book :) | 19:43 |
| Linuxie | thanks for your help | 19:43 |
| alkisg | To read some stuff about linux etc | 19:43 |
| alkisg | Here's one: http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 19:43 |
| Linuxie | like i mentioned above i have gone through many things | 19:43 |
| Linuxie | see the [14:39] | 19:44 |
| alkisg | I'm on a different timezone, are you talking about (09:39:29 μμ) Linuxie: i have tried users group, various channels, read a ton of material, gone through some tutorials of which many are outdated, | 19:45 |
| Linuxie | yes | 19:45 |
| alkisg | I still don't understand your main problem | 19:46 |
| alkisg | Is it "how should I get help on a specific problem"? | 19:46 |
| Linuxie | well.. tell me have you been using linux for a long time? | 19:46 |
| Linuxie | how did you start | 19:46 |
| alkisg | Or is it "I don't know what else to do to learn linux" | 19:46 |
| Linuxie | well many times the questions are related to a specific distro and when i go to that channel i don't get a good solution | 19:47 |
| alkisg | Anyway, gotta go, I hope you quickly find the solution to your problem. Bye. | 19:48 |
| Linuxie | bye | 19:49 |
| coz_ | hey guys...there are no plans to elimiate Edubuntu in the near future is there? | 20:45 |
