[17:58] <Linuxie> hello
[18:00] <alkisg> Hi
[19:16] <Linuxie> i'm trying to add a radio station to the Rythmbox
[19:17] <Linuxie> says i'm missing a plugin.. when i search for it it won't find any
[19:19] <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
[19:20] <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
[19:21] <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
[19:22] <alkisg> You can ask here too, sure, but I doubt if anyone will answer...
[19:23] <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
[19:24] <Linuxie> i have been to so many channels.. folks just don't answer
[19:25] <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
[19:26] <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
[19:27] <Linuxie> well i thought edubuntu was related to all questions regarding the edubuntu distro
[19:27] <Linuxie> oh well
[19:28] <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.
[19:29] <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.
[19:30] <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
[19:31] <alkisg> Not personally, so just wait for any others to see that question and answer it if they know about sugar.
[19:32] <alkisg> Also, it would help if the question was more specific, e.g. did you run into any problems with it? etc etc.
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <Linuxie> and there's not much help anywhere
[19:35] <Linuxie> it is basically for kids
[19:35] <Linuxie> between 8-12
[19:36] <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
[19:37] <Linuxie> some things work off the bat in some distros but in others it is a hassle
[19:38] <Linuxie> i don't know how else to go about it..
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <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.
[19:41] <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
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <Linuxie> see the [14:39]
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <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"
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <alkisg> Anyway, gotta go, I hope you quickly find the solution to your problem. Bye.
[19:49] <Linuxie> bye
[20:45] <coz_> hey guys...there are no plans to elimiate Edubuntu in the near future is there?
