[00:01] <DoctorTruth> the book I bought on Ubuntu has also been helpful as a reference tool
[00:01] <holstein> i bet
[00:01] <DoctorTruth> and of course helpful people in the community are good too.
[00:04] <DoctorTruth> hey I am looking at the link for scribus - which is the better - 32 or 64 bit?
[00:05] <DoctorTruth> it looks like a decent program
[00:05] <holstein> DoctorTruth: i think you can debate which is better all day
[00:05] <holstein> you need the one for your machine
[00:05] <holstein> i think its in the repos
[00:06] <DoctorTruth> alright - synaptics you mean
[00:08] <holstein> DoctorTruth: however you feel comfortable accessing the repositories
[00:08] <holstein> synaptic
[00:08] <holstein> software center
[00:08] <holstein> sudo apt-cache search scribus
[00:09] <DoctorTruth> ok - getting it to try out
[00:09] <holstein> it literally cant hurt ;)
[00:09] <holstein> i tried it for something
[00:09] <holstein> in windows
[00:09] <holstein> and it did the job
[00:10] <holstein> this was years ago
[00:10] <holstein> now-a-days, i would probably just do a blog
[00:10] <holstein> in the cloud or whatever
[00:10] <holstein> no backup necessary
[00:10] <holstein> easy to share/print
[00:10] <holstein> whatever
[00:11] <DoctorTruth> thanks for your time - oh now that I have you here. Do you know if I would be able to run a printer through wine. I was unable to find the drivers for it when I got ububntu a few months ago
[00:11] <DoctorTruth> its a cannon mp190
[00:12] <DoctorTruth> clor printer/scanner all in one
[00:12] <DoctorTruth> oops color
[00:12] <holstein> i would say no
[00:12] <holstein> we used to have ndiswrapper
[00:12] <holstein> for wifi drivers
[00:13] <holstein> not sure how much of that carried over to other devices
[00:13] <DoctorTruth> I ended up having to by a new printer - a brother
[00:13] <holstein> probably better off
[00:13] <DoctorTruth> but its not color and does not have a scanner
[00:13] <DoctorTruth> : (
[00:13] <holstein> new printers are usually about as cheap as replacing the ink cartridges now
[00:13] <DoctorTruth> its better for documents though which I like
[00:14] <DoctorTruth> yeah i agree
[00:14] <holstein> DoctorTruth: plug it in
[00:14] <holstein> the printer/scanner
[00:14] <holstein> and go to...
[00:14] <DoctorTruth> maybe it will just magically work now?
[00:14] <holstein> graphics-simplescan
[00:14] <holstein> it will search for a scanner it can use
[00:15] <holstein> as far as the printer... let me look
[00:16] <DoctorTruth> I could always buy a new one I suppose but i don't print to many photos anyway
[00:16] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090566
[00:16] <holstein> i have a laser printer
[00:16] <holstein> old brother
[00:16] <holstein> black and white
[00:16] <holstein> i cant tolerate dealing with ink jet ink anymore
[00:16] <holstein> i just go to the kinkos if i need that
[00:18] <DoctorTruth> yeah thats what I should do too ink is expensive and not worth it in the long run anyhow
[00:18] <holstein> i have some fancy cannon
[00:18] <holstein> *epson
[00:19] <holstein> with no ink anymore
[00:19] <holstein> thats the scanner i use
[00:19] <DoctorTruth> I just wanted my scanner running again
[00:19] <holstein> its recognized with linux though
[00:19] <holstein> plug and play
[00:19] <DoctorTruth> cool
[00:19] <holstein> DoctorTruth: sometimes you can find them at the charity shops
[00:20] <holstein> scanners
[00:20] <DoctorTruth> scanners u mean
[00:20] <DoctorTruth> ahh
[00:20] <DoctorTruth> thanks
[00:20] <DoctorTruth> old drivers though
[00:20] <holstein> i see printer/scanners all the time for a couple bucks
[00:20] <holstein> DoctorTruth: doesnt matter how old
[00:20] <DoctorTruth> harder to find?
[00:20] <DoctorTruth> really
[00:20] <holstein> as long as its in the kernel
[00:20] <DoctorTruth> ok
[00:20] <holstein> or availalbe in the repos
[00:21] <DoctorTruth> got ya
[00:21] <holstein> DoctorTruth: i take my netbook with me for stuff like that
[00:21] <DoctorTruth> thanks
[00:21] <holstein> BUT, if its a charity shop
[00:21] <holstein> they sometimes have a 7 day return on electronics
[00:21] <DoctorTruth> I don't have a laptop. ... yet : )
[00:21] <DoctorTruth> going to get one
[00:21] <holstein> and worst case scnerario, you get a 5 dollar scanner that doesnt work
[00:21] <DoctorTruth> lol
[00:21] <holstein> and you donated 5 bucks to whatever cause
[00:21] <DoctorTruth> yeah
[00:22] <DoctorTruth> just chuck it
[00:22] <DoctorTruth> : )

[00:23] <holstein> laterx
[09:37] <chepaz> Hello everybody. Can someone tell me what the theme is called that is shown on the scrots on the ubuntu-studio-homepage?
[15:14] <holstein> chepaz: hey
[15:14] <holstein> are you running ubuntustudio?
[15:15] <holstein> there are quite a few ubuntustudio metapackages
[15:15] <holstein> you can search in whatever package-manager ubuntustudio
[15:15] <holstein> and read about them
[15:16] <chepaz> Hello holstein. No, not yet. Primary i'm running Archlinux, just want to know the name of the theme.
[15:16] <holstein> i think you'll want ubuntustudio-lool
[15:16] <holstein> ubuntustudio-themem
[15:16] <holstein> ubuntustudio-theme **
[15:16] <holstein> ubuntustudio-desktop
[15:17] <holstein> ^^ -desktop might pull all of it in
[15:17] <holstein> chepaz: if you wanted it in arch
[15:17] <holstein> i bet gnomelook has it
[15:18] <holstein> w0w
[15:18] <holstein> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+Studio+7.04+-Original-?content=70621
