=== alkisg1 is now known as alkisg [17:58] hello [18:00] Hi [19:16] i'm trying to add a radio station to the Rythmbox [19:17] says i'm missing a plugin.. when i search for it it won't find any [19:19] For general ubuntu questions, you'd better ask in #ubuntu [19:19] am i in the wrong room? [19:19] More or less, yes [19:20] i'm using edubuntu live dvd [19:20] Type /j #ubuntu to go to the ubuntu channel [19:20] those rooms are too crowded.. no one answers [19:20] edubuntu is based on ubuntu, so for general ubuntu questions, you'll get more answers there [19:21] so what is this room for? [19:21] This channel is more focused to things that are _not_ in an ubuntu installation [19:21] E.g. for educational software, for ltsp (thin clients), etc [19:21] well how about the irc client [19:21] Whatever you can find in the ubuntu live CD, you'd better ask in #ubuntu about it [19:21] i have to use the webclient [19:22] You can ask here too, sure, but I doubt if anyone will answer... [19:23] well there's nothing going on in this room anyways.. i'm just looking for some experienced linux help.. :) [19:23] i'm new to linux [19:24] i have been to so many channels.. folks just don't answer [19:25] You need to ask the right questions in the right channels [19:25] there are so many rooms with many people but no activity [19:25] For rythmbox, there's an irc channel in the gnome server [19:25] i'm been to ubuntu, linux, newbies, and all the respective distros channel [19:25] been doing this for weeks [19:26] 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] i went to #nvidia to get help as to why my desktop features don't work.. like compiz [19:26] but no answer [19:27] well i thought edubuntu was related to all questions regarding the edubuntu distro [19:27] oh well [19:28] 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] actually rythmbox is just an example i have many other [19:29] OK, the same answer for others too. [19:29] If they're educational software, then people here might know the answer. If not, they probably don't. [19:30] i keep hearing about the sugar on a stick [19:30] do you have any experience in that [19:30] that's all education [19:31] Not personally, so just wait for any others to see that question and answer it if they know about sugar. [19:32] Also, it would help if the question was more specific, e.g. did you run into any problems with it? etc etc. [19:34] some distros have it pre-loaded on the live cd or dvd but many don't [19:34] so i would like to add but don't know much about it [19:35] and there's not much help anywhere [19:35] it is basically for kids [19:35] between 8-12 [19:36] since i'm new to linux.. i really don't know which one to install on a hd [19:36] 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] some things work off the bat in some distros but in others it is a hassle [19:38] i don't know how else to go about it.. [19:39] i have tried users group, various channels, read a ton of material, gone through some tutorials of which many are outdated, [19:39] what else can i do [19:40] sometimes installations don't work from the gui but they work from the cli [19:40] but each distro has a diff way of updating, installing etc. [19:41] my LUG meet once in a month and then theres not enough volunteers [19:41] :) [19:41] i'm not complaining.. just looking how else to go about it [19:43] I'm not sure I understand your problem. [19:43] hahahah [19:43] never mind [19:43] I believe you need a book :) [19:43] thanks for your help [19:43] To read some stuff about linux etc [19:43] Here's one: http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [19:43] like i mentioned above i have gone through many things [19:44] see the [14:39] [19:45] 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] yes [19:46] I still don't understand your main problem [19:46] Is it "how should I get help on a specific problem"? [19:46] well.. tell me have you been using linux for a long time? [19:46] how did you start [19:46] Or is it "I don't know what else to do to learn linux" [19:47] 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] Anyway, gotta go, I hope you quickly find the solution to your problem. Bye. [19:49] bye [20:45] hey guys...there are no plans to elimiate Edubuntu in the near future is there?
