[03:26] <newubuntu10_04us> I just installed Ubuntu for the first time and I'm trying to figure out a few things. I hope this is the place to com to find patient people that have answers...:) The first thing I'm trying to do is run a program SpyNoMore from http://spynomore.com and I can't seem to get it to install. I'm starting there, because my computer had a VERY stubborn virus that required removing the partitions from the fixed disk...so 
[03:35] <duanedesign> hello newubuntu10_04us
[03:36] <duanedesign> newubuntu10_04us: looks like that application is Windows only
[03:38] <duanedesign> clamAV and Avast are two popular anti-virus apps for Linux
[03:45] <newubuntu10_04us> duanedesign: Thank you...that is pretty much what I was afraid of.
[04:11] <nUboon2Age> newubuntu10_04us: Actual viruses are not something to fret about in Linux, but as to other malware that could potentially be a problem here's a simple approach,  How to block internet advertisements, banners and spyware in Linux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=110440, and http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2010/01/block-ads-malware-spyware-using-hosts.html

[05:17] <OCboy> Huh .. ?????
[05:19] <collinp> Hmm?
[05:19] <collinp> I doubt that any of us have personal experience with the provider that you mentioned, but you can state your issue and we'll try to help to the best of our abilities.
[05:20] <OCboy> i have problem with conf eggdrop
[05:20] <collinp> Eggdrop has their own support channels, AFAIK.
[05:21] <collinp> Although I do have experience with eggdrops.
[05:21] <OCboy> they have no support channel
[05:21] <collinp> Not on freenode, no. Their official support channel is on UnderNet.
[05:21] <OCboy> Thank ÿou Verÿ Much
[05:24] <OCboy> do u know the name of it pls
[05:35] <LOLWTF> eggdrop sucks
[05:35] <LOLWTF> just use irssi
[05:35] <LOLWTF> kthanks.
[05:51] <kermiac> Good Afternoon people. There will be a short "How to Triage Bugs" session in #ubuntu-au in 10 minutes. Please feel free to join in the fun
[05:53] <dogwalker> I'm about to install the 64-Bit Ubuntu 10.04 on an AMD-64 Based CPU, and I wonder if anyone knows if Javascript is installed by default.
[05:54] <tenach> dogwalker, Java or Javascript?
[05:54] <tenach> From what I understand, you don't install javascript, as it's handled by a web browser.
[05:55] <dogwalker> Javascript, tenach, I need it to be supported for my bank's Web interface.
[05:55] <tenach> By default Firefox is installed with javascript enabled.
[05:55] <tenach> When you install Ubuntu
[05:55] <dogwalker> Thank you very much for your help.
[05:55] <tenach> No problem! :)
[05:55] <tenach> If you have any more questions, just ask :D
[05:56] <tenach> If I can't help, someone else is bound to be able to.
[05:56] <dogwalker> I've got a problem with my Windows XP and the Nvidia GT 8500 card, and it appears to be "un-fixable".
[05:56] <tenach> What sort of problem?
[05:57] <dogwalker> So I'll slave the windows Disk to the Ubuntu install (on separate hard disk) and copy the files off.
[05:57] <dogwalker> Fatal Error/BSOD.
[05:58] <dogwalker> and I've already tried re-loading the driver from Nvidia
[05:58] <dogwalker> <no resolution>.
[05:58] <kermiac> holstein: I noticed you're in the BugSquad mentorship program mate, feel free to come & join in on the session in #ubuntu-au. It starts in a couple of minutes
[05:58] <dogwalker> So before the whole works becomes un-readable...
[05:58] <dogwalker> I'll copy the files over, and call it "Done"
[05:59] <dogwalker> I can't think of anything Linux won't do, once I find applications to install.
[06:00] <holstein> kermiac: thanks
[06:01] <tenach> Sounds about like how I moved to Linux/Ubuntu, dogwalker.  The version of XP that was installed on my computer decided to call itself invalid, so instead of arguing with the tech support guys again, I just moved over to here.
[07:05] <zkriesse> duanedesign: ping
[08:19] <kermiac> thanks for coming to the session guys :) -- collinp, nUboon2Age, holstein
[08:31] <nUboon2Age> kermiac: thanks for doing the class. :D
[10:50] <duanedesign> 'lo all

[21:18] <AJH1011> Hello - torrents used to open automatically in Transmission but suddenly they do not - how do i restore it please?
[21:19] <dinosaur> AJH1011, you could try right clicking the file, and going to properties, then going to the open with tab, and then put the marker on transmission
[21:19] <paultag> dinosaur, c'mon man

[21:49] <paultag> dinosaur, Montel, this is getting annoying
[21:50] <dinosaur> stop calling me that, ive told you im not him.
[21:50] <dinosaur> youre being very rude.
[21:50] <paultag> dinosaur, I can pull logs and make this a big deal, but I'd rather you leave on good terms rather then *another* k-line
[21:51] <paultag> dinosaur, were you on last night as "LOLWTF" ?
[21:51] <dinosaur> anybody can open up nano and edit some logs. ive come in here to help, now can you please leave me alone.
[21:51] <aveilleux> dinosaur, the logs of this room are public
[21:52] <paultag> dinosaur, were you on last night as "LOLWTF" ?
[21:52] <dinosaur> i know that.
[21:52] <aveilleux> dinosaur, then why are you going on about editing nano?
[21:52] <paultag> dinosaur, Your IPs match, after all. So I'll assume yes. Please leave, Montel
[21:53] <paultag> aveilleux, Let dinosaur leave with his head in the air and feeling like he showed us
[21:53] <paultag> c'mon Montel, be big and bad
[21:53] <dinosaur> paultag, stop highlighting me or im going to put you on  ignore.

[21:54] <paultag> thank you aveilleux for trying to help
[21:54] <paultag> He is an unwelcome member of the community
[21:55] <aveilleux> paultag: Always here to help
[21:56] <paultag> aveilleux, and I thank you for it! :)
[21:58] <stlsaint> paultag: LOL
[21:59] <paultag> stlsaint, Yeah, becoming absurd. I was hoping he would just leave when he saw I did not care about it
[21:59] <paultag> stlsaint, clearly, not.
[21:59] <paultag> It's a shame he's not on 4chan, I have a feeling he'd be a great troll.
[21:59] <paultag> Oh well.
[22:00] <paultag> Sorry for that bump, team.
[22:00] <IdleOne> paultag: you have a guest in #ubuntu-irc , wanting to discuss a ban
