| Nisorin | Hello, we installed Ubuntu Studio on my sister's Dell laptop running Windows 7 64bit, and now the only OS that can run is Ubuntu Studio. We can see the Windows partition, access all the files on it, but we can't get the computer to boot from it. Any help? | 02:17 |

| jag | hello i develop din, a free software musical instrument for GNU/Linux only. how do i go about including it in ubuntu studio? i have a .deb done already | 14:47 |
| jag | http://dinisnoise.org | 14:47 |
| ailo | jag: All audio packages in Ubuntustudio come from the ubuntu repo. I would recommend getting it into Debian, this way it should automatically end up in Ubuntu and Ubuntustudio. (I'm not lying, right?) | 14:50 |
| ailo | Try the Debian mentor mail list. debian-mentors@lists.debian.org | 14:51 |
| ailo | jag: And you could announce your project at Linux Audio User/Dev list to get some feedback too. | 14:52 |
| ailo | linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org | 14:53 |
| jag | thanks | 14:54 |

| DoctorTruth | Hi, I am relatively new to Ubuntu - I have a book I bought but I can't seem to find the certain answer I am looking for it it. I have installed a windows based program that I wanted to use with "wine" but it does not work the way I had anticipated. Is there a way to remove it's file contents from my computer? Thank you. | 23:41 |
| holstein | DoctorTruth: hey | 23:41 |
| holstein | sure | 23:41 |
| holstein | you just delete it | 23:41 |
| holstein | there is also a directory for wine in your home dir | 23:42 |
| holstein | ~/.wine | 23:42 |
| DoctorTruth | that will remove it entirely? | 23:42 |
| holstein | it = ?? | 23:42 |
| DoctorTruth | the program and its files | 23:42 |
| holstein | the windows program | 23:42 |
| DoctorTruth | yes | 23:42 |
| holstein | that should be it | 23:42 |
| holstein | .wine will be all wine programs | 23:43 |
| DoctorTruth | ok I will try and hope for the best - thanks | 23:43 |
| holstein | you can poke around in there and find it | 23:43 |
| holstein | no real reason to get rid of it though | 23:43 |
| holstein | unless you just need the space | 23:43 |
| DoctorTruth | I have found it yes - I just was not sure if would actually be erased permanently | 23:44 |
| DoctorTruth | thanks for the help : ) | 23:44 |
| holstein | anytime | 23:44 |
| DoctorTruth | LINUX rocks by the way! | 23:45 |
| DoctorTruth | love it | 23:45 |
| holstein | hehe | 23:45 |
| DoctorTruth | I just wish there were more programs available | 23:45 |
| DoctorTruth | in time I suppose | 23:45 |
| DoctorTruth | thanks again | 23:46 |
| holstein | DoctorTruth: what are you looking for? | 23:47 |
| holstein | program-wise | 23:47 |
| holstein | i find that there is so many programs, i have a hard time checking them all out | 23:48 |
| DoctorTruth | I had a pretty good scrapbooking program on a windows based disk that I used to like using. I decided to try it out with wine to see if it would work but it did not go as I had hoped | 23:49 |
| holstein | what functionality are you looking for? | 23:50 |
| DoctorTruth | for designing pages with pictures and text etc. | 23:50 |
| holstein | the way those blogspot blogs work | 23:50 |
| holstein | i can imagine needing anything locally like thta | 23:50 |
| holstein | that* | 23:50 |
| holstein | but, i didnt do any scrapbooking | 23:50 |
| holstein | if i wanted a page like that i would probably just fire up the gimp | 23:50 |
| holstein | theres scribus | 23:51 |
| DoctorTruth | I have tried the open office programs but they dont function with as much ease as the one I was use to | 23:51 |
| holstein | http://www.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus | 23:51 |
| DoctorTruth | ok I will try it out | 23:51 |
| DoctorTruth | thanks | 23:51 |
| holstein | sure | 23:51 |
| DoctorTruth | I have gimp and I like that but it seems complex a bit though | 23:52 |
| holstein | depends | 23:52 |
| DoctorTruth | layers and such can be tricky | 23:52 |
| holstein | can be overkill i suppose | 23:52 |
| holstein | i personally appreciate the extra functionality | 23:52 |
| DoctorTruth | agreed | 23:52 |
| DoctorTruth | its just a matter of learning | 23:53 |
| holstein | yup | 23:53 |
| DoctorTruth | its pretty in depth | 23:53 |
| DoctorTruth | takes more time than I have | 23:53 |
| DoctorTruth | unfortunately | 23:53 |
| DoctorTruth | thanks for the help though | 23:54 |
| DoctorTruth | I appreciate it | 23:54 |
| DoctorTruth | one other question | 23:54 |
| holstein | DoctorTruth: sure | 23:55 |
| DoctorTruth | I love the game scrabble and I had the xp disc of it - will it work | 23:55 |
| DoctorTruth | i am not fond of the text based version available through the synaptics | 23:56 |
| holstein | DoctorTruth: http://appdb.winehq.org/ is where to check | 23:56 |
| holstein | DoctorTruth: i usually just get the .exe and try it in wine | 23:57 |
| holstein | easy enough to try it | 23:57 |
| DoctorTruth | thanks again friend : ) | 23:57 |
| holstein | sure, and keep in mine | 23:57 |
| holstein | mind* | 23:57 |
| holstein | whatever text-based scrabble games you are finding | 23:58 |
| holstein | are open-source | 23:58 |
| holstein | so, if someone were inclined | 23:58 |
| holstein | you can get the source, and code a GUI for it | 23:58 |
| holstein | which is the beauty of the open-source model | 23:58 |
| holstein | the answer is always yes | 23:59 |
| holstein | just a matter of time and resources | 23:59 |
| DoctorTruth | that is way beyond my knowledge yet. I am learning as I go but thanks - my cousin may be good to help in that sense - he introduced me to linux | 23:59 |
