| Error404NotFoun1 | over heating? | 06:21 |
| holstein | philipballew: you can get a live CD | 06:21 |
| holstein | something non-buntu even | 06:21 |
| holstein | then, you'll know if its hardware or software | 06:22 |
| holstein | OR at least have a better idea | 06:22 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | boot into bios once | 06:22 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | see if it still shuts off | 06:22 |
| philipballew | it has shut off when im chooseing what to boot into on grab | 06:22 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | id say its hardware then | 06:23 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | cpu fan spinning? | 06:23 |
| holstein | live CD's are such great diagnostic tools | 06:23 |
| philipballew | im thinking overheating and its hardware. i need do test it with a live cd yes. it has died also when its still says dell on boot | 06:23 |
| holstein | ah | 06:24 |
| holstein | yeah, if its died out there | 06:24 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | make sure yer cpu fan is spinning | 06:24 |
| holstein | id say its hardware | 06:24 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | if it stops it will auto shut off yer puter | 06:24 |
| holstein | yeah, check the proc fan | 06:24 |
| philipballew | how can i make sure its spinning. just manually? | 06:24 |
| holstein | maybe look and make sure the heatsink is seated and looking right | 06:24 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | take side off case | 06:24 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | turn it on | 06:24 |
| philipballew | laptop | 06:25 |
| holstein | unless its a lappy* | 06:25 |
| holstein | yeah ^ | 06:25 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | eww | 06:25 |
| holstein | try taking some covers off | 06:25 |
| holstein | and looking in there | 06:25 |
| holstein | if you have any of that compressed air | 06:25 |
| bioterror | install lm-sensors | 06:25 |
| holstein | try taht | 06:25 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | plugged in yes? | 06:25 |
| holstein | that* | 06:25 |
| bioterror | and check the cpu temp's | 06:25 |
| philipballew | bioterror what do you mean? | 06:25 |
| holstein | sometimes, you can just blow a lot of animal hair or dust out of them | 06:25 |
| holstein | and its fine :) | 06:25 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | if its shutting off that fast its not overheating | 06:26 |
| holstein | could be | 06:26 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | fan is prolly clogged | 06:26 |
| philipballew | yeah, could be | 06:26 |
| holstein | if its tricking the sensor somehow | 06:26 |
| holstein | who knows | 06:26 |
| holstein | wont hurt to blow it out | 06:26 |
| philipballew | it shuts off over and over unless i let it sit for like a few | 06:26 |
| bioterror | BIOS should usually too tell the CPU temp | 06:26 |
| philipballew | ill boot into bios now. ill be back in a bit!!! | 06:27 |
| bioterror | around 90C is the limit | 06:27 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | when last time you cleaned it | 06:27 |
| philipballew | ok. ill tell what it says. | 06:27 |
| philipballew | december | 06:27 |
| bioterror | and yeah | 06:27 |
| bioterror | blow in to that fan | 06:27 |
| bioterror | like that wolf in three little pigs story | 06:27 |
| philipballew | with airduster? | 06:28 |
| holstein | hehe | 06:28 |
| philipballew | in a can? | 06:28 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | yes | 06:28 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | canned air is good | 06:28 |
| holstein | ideally | 06:28 |
| philipballew | if not then hair dryer? | 06:28 |
| bioterror | or with your lungs | 06:28 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | lol | 06:28 |
| holstein | nah | 06:28 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | wont do anything | 06:28 |
| holstein | something with force | 06:28 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | not a vacuum | 06:28 |
| philipballew | true. ill get one then | 06:29 |
| seidos | BIOS update? | 06:29 |
| philipballew | how can i update bios on linux? | 06:29 |
| holstein | seidos: you are thinking corrupt bios? | 06:29 |
| philipballew | all bios updates come in exe anyway | 06:29 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | if it was corrupt it wouldnt boot at all | 06:29 |
| holstein | philipballew: should be some bootable media way | 06:29 |
| seidos | nope | 06:29 |
| seidos | i made a bootable cd for this toshiba | 06:30 |
| philipballew | but i might just need to clean this fan | 06:30 |
| seidos | to update the BIOS | 06:30 |
| holstein | yeah, id clean | 06:30 |
| seidos | place your bets | 06:30 |
| seidos | what are the odds? | 06:30 |
| holstein | i have a 'if it aint broke' policy with bioses | 06:30 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | slim to none | 06:30 |
| philipballew | i just need to find a can to rule that out | 06:30 |
| bioterror | use your lungs :D | 06:31 |
| bioterror | you dont need propellant | 06:31 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | if its clogged to the point of stopping the fan his lungs aint gonna help | 06:32 |
| holstein | *wont hurt | 06:32 |
| holstein | i would try that before running out for a can of stuff | 06:32 |
| bioterror | then he does not blow air like that wolf in three little pigs story | 06:33 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | im bored | 06:34 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | i need something to go wrong with ubuntu so i have something to do | 06:34 |

| Error404NotFoun1 | sony is offering 1m in identity theft protection | 06:37 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | to every psn member | 06:37 |
| holstein | philipballew: now you know | 06:38 |
| holstein | and if i were you | 06:38 |
| holstein | i would unplug the hard drive | 06:38 |
| holstein | *if thats easy | 06:38 |
| holstein | til you get it sorted out | 06:38 |
| philipballew | yes. it is. | 06:38 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | philipballew: are you plugged in? | 06:38 |
| philipballew | yes. ill turn off the machine now and clean it tommorow | 06:38 |
| philipballew | if thats best? | 06:39 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | im just wondering if its a power problem | 06:39 |
| philipballew | its done it on battery and on ac | 06:39 |
| holstein | i have a macbook | 06:39 |
| holstein | its got a bad ram slot | 06:39 |
| holstein | when memory is in that slot | 06:39 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | doh | 06:39 |
| holstein | and you just tap the table | 06:39 |
| holstein | or the unit | 06:39 |
| holstein | it dies | 06:39 |
| holstein | that took a lot of trial and error to sort out | 06:40 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | lol | 06:40 |
| bioterror | who forced you to buy c*apbook ;) | 06:40 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | how old? | 06:40 |
| philipballew | that sounds tricky | 06:40 |
| holstein | bioterror: actually, thats how i got it | 06:40 |
| holstein | my friend thought it was dead | 06:40 |
| holstein | when i figured out it wasnt so dead | 06:40 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | nothing wrong with macbooks | 06:40 |
| bioterror | I would take powerbook G4 12" | 06:41 |
| holstein | i tried to offer some $$ for it | 06:41 |
| bioterror | I like that | 06:41 |
| seidos | nothing wrong with slack macs | 06:41 |
| philipballew | i should probably turn off my comp now? | 06:41 |
| holstein | yeah, this one is pretty cheaply made | 06:41 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | philipballew: you aere on that computer now? | 06:41 |
| philipballew | yes i am | 06:41 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | lol | 06:41 |
| philipballew | its the only one i have | 06:41 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | its not overheating then | 06:41 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | sounds like power management | 06:41 |
| holstein | yeah | 06:42 |
| holstein | thats going to be fiddly to troubleshoot | 06:42 |
| holstein | its not the OS though | 06:42 |
| philipballew | maybe its not heated up all the way yet to turn off | 06:42 |
| holstein | maybe* | 06:42 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | if it was clogged it would be a couple minutes | 06:42 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | pretty regularly | 06:42 |
| philipballew | i have the warenty. i can have free parts shipped to me | 06:43 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | lol | 06:43 |
| philipballew | only problem is someone else puts it in | 06:43 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | since when does a computer company ship parts | 06:43 |
| philipballew | i dont like when other people work on my computer | 06:43 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | what brand puter? | 06:44 |
| philipballew | its a dell | 06:44 |
| holstein | philipballew: unless its free, and helpful :) | 06:44 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | theres yer problem | 06:44 |
| philipballew | dells are awesome! | 06:44 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | dells are shit | 06:44 |
| philipballew | im sorry you think that | 06:44 |
| holstein | yeah, ive had decent luck with them too | 06:44 |
| holstein | the old old computers in the house | 06:45 |
| holstein | that are still running | 06:45 |
| holstein | they are dells | 06:45 |
| holstein | i got a stack of dead compaq's | 06:45 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | dell is prolly worst laptop on the market | 06:45 |
| holstein | eh | 06:45 |
| philipballew | i have dells still running that came with win 98 | 06:45 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | well i actualy work on computers | 06:45 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | most are dells | 06:46 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | toshiba | 06:46 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | hp | 06:46 |
| holstein | right, but most are dells | 06:46 |
| holstein | in general* | 06:46 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | nah | 06:46 |
| holstein | you wouls statistically be working on more dells possibly | 06:46 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | way more hp laptops | 06:46 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | in general | 06:46 |
| philipballew | you need to know the type of people owning dells and the number of dells sold in relation to other brands | 06:47 |
| philipballew | for yoyr statement to be true | 06:47 |
| holstein | well, i dont work for dell | 06:47 |
| holstein | so i dont care | 06:47 |
| holstein | you can hate them | 06:47 |
| holstein | im not so turned off i wouldnt get one though | 06:47 |
| holstein | and they sell buntu machines :) | 06:47 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | i am | 06:47 |
| philipballew | they sell 2 models | 06:48 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | i like my acer | 06:48 |
| holstein | yeah? | 06:48 |
| holstein | i have heard bad things about acer | 06:48 |
| holstein | but, the price is right | 06:48 |
| philipballew | i should get my prosser to work hard and see if that turns it off | 06:48 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | that would do it | 06:49 |
| holstein | philipballew: i use a live CD | 06:49 |
| holstein | http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | 06:49 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | live cd isnt gonna max his cpu | 06:49 |
| holstein | theres some tool in there for working the CPU | 06:49 |
| philipballew | would a ubuntu live cd work! | 06:49 |
| holstein | cpu burn in? | 06:49 |
| holstein | something like that | 06:49 |
| philipballew | i have that with me and im nit at home | 06:49 |
| philipballew | i usually use that | 06:49 |
| holstein | philipballew: it would, but i dont know the tool to do that | 06:49 |
| holstein | right off hand | 06:49 |
| holstein | like Error404NotFoun1 says, a live CD is not really going to do anything | 06:50 |
| holstein | *a typical live CD | 06:50 |
| philipballew | how so? | 06:50 |
| holstein | not going to 'work the CPU' | 06:51 |
| philipballew | true. i just need to figure whats turning it off. would it be in the logs? | 06:52 |
| holstein | i wouldnt think so | 06:52 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | doubt it | 06:52 |
| holstein | if i were you | 06:52 |
| holstein | i would take the hard drive out | 06:52 |
| holstein | and just start checking things | 06:52 |
| holstein | the hard drive can be damaged | 06:52 |
| holstein | if you get it out of the way | 06:52 |
| holstein | then, you can pretty much tweak and not worry about breaking anything | 06:53 |
| holstein | any worse | 06:53 |
| philipballew | should i turn off the computer then? | 06:53 |
| holstein | shuting down like that will do something to the hard drive | 06:53 |
| philipballew | probablly... | 06:53 |
| holstein | eventually | 06:53 |
| philipballew | true | 06:54 |
| holstein | philipballew: eh | 06:54 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | id have to say yer gonna be sending yer computer to sell | 06:54 |
| holstein | you've made it this far :) | 06:54 |
| seidos | if you have data that you need...probably should be thinking about that if you aren't already | 06:54 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | if you mess with it | 06:54 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | will void warranty | 06:54 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | dell* | 06:54 |
| holstein | yeah, you dont want to void the warranty | 06:54 |
| philipballew | true. ill take out hd and back it up on another comp | 06:54 |
| seidos | good point Error404NotFoun1, get it serviced if still under warranty | 06:54 |
| holstein | philipballew: good luck | 06:55 |
| holstein | i gotta get horizontal | 06:55 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | lol | 06:55 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | still early here | 06:55 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | ima play some gta | 06:55 |
| philipballew | thanks. ill turn it off now to not risk it from breaking | 06:56 |
| holstein | Error404NotFoun1: im glad you had the opportunity to hang out with me again ;) | 06:56 |
| holstein | laterx... | 06:56 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | peace homie | 06:56 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | philipballew: | 06:57 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | this is why its never good to use a laptop as a main computer | 06:57 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | there is no such thing as a desktop replacement | 06:57 |
| seidos | i disagree | 06:58 |
| seidos | depends what you use your computer for | 06:58 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | you would be wrong then lol | 06:58 |
| seidos | :B | 06:59 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | if you use your computer to check email and shut it off yeah | 06:59 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | you can replace a desktop | 06:59 |
| seidos | writing, watching multimedia | 06:59 |
| seidos | listening to music | 06:59 |
| seidos | 2d gaming | 06:59 |
| Error404NotFoun1 | you cant replace a desktop for any of that | 06:59 |

| stlsaint | tdn: have you looked at xorg? | 13:45 |
| tdn | No. It does not even come out of grub. | 13:45 |
| tdn | So X is not the problem. | 13:46 |
| stlsaint | tdn: well it has to leave grub to be able to show you that error so it very well could be x | 13:46 |
| coalwater | try getting on recovery mode then the fail save gui | 13:46 |
| coalwater | fail safe* | 13:46 |
| coalwater | i think :D | 13:46 |
| coalwater | that's what i'd try | 13:46 |
| tdn | stlsaint, not correct. It could not be X. It does not even have a file system yet. | 13:47 |
| tdn | coalwater, I tried. Then what? | 13:47 |
| coalwater | does it start? | 13:47 |
| stlsaint | tdn: no file system?? So did you install or not? | 13:47 |
| stlsaint | that doesnt make sense, a file system has nothing to do with video | 13:48 |
| tdn | stlsaint, as I said, this is already in grub it fails. That is before a filesystem is mounted and thus WAY before X. | 13:54 |
| tdn | coalwater, it starts to a terminal. | 13:55 |
| tdn | coalwater, did not try failsafe X yet. I am trying. But nonetheless, the recovery mode gets past GRUB/bootsplash, so I get rootfs mounted and stuff | 13:56 |
| coalwater | u have a shell terminal now? | 13:56 |
| coalwater | hold on | 13:56 |
| tdn | I am guessing the viedeo error has something to do with it trying to start up a fancy video mode during boot. | 13:56 |
| tdn | coalwater, yes. | 13:57 |
| coalwater | how do u get on a shell without grub | 13:57 |
| tdn | huh? | 13:57 |
| tdn | coalwater, I have GRUB. | 13:57 |
| tdn | It just does not get PAST it. | 13:57 |
| coalwater | ok , so ur on grub rescue? | 13:57 |
| tdn | coalwater, or maybe it is JUST past it. But before fs is mounted. | 13:57 |
| tdn | somewhere between POST and root fs mount, it fails. | 13:58 |
| tdn | coalwater, I have root shell now. | 13:58 |
| coalwater | but no file system | 13:58 |
| tdn | vo | 13:58 |
| tdn | coalwater, yes. Of course. | 13:58 |
| Sidewinder1 | tdn: Have you tried to boot to LiveCD and look around in the Grub/config files from there? | 13:58 |
| tdn | I do not get the error when selecting recovery mode. | 13:58 |
| tdn | coalwater, sorry if that was not clear. | 13:58 |
| stlsaint | im not understanding the terminology being used here | 13:59 |
| tdn | Sidewinder1, no, but I can boot up in recovery mode and browse file system there. | 13:59 |
| stlsaint | i will step out now | 13:59 |
| coalwater | if it's a fresh install i'd just try to reinstall again, if u don't have any data to worry about | 14:00 |
| tdn | coalwater, actually I kinda did. The first time I just upgraded from 10.10 and got the error. Then I thougt that I | 14:01 |
| tdn | coalwater, actually I kinda did. The first time I just upgraded from 10.10 and got the error. Then I thougt that the upgrade had somehow failed, so I reinstalled from a clean install cd. But still the same error. | 14:02 |
| tdn | Maybe it is the splash screen that fails. | 14:04 |
| tdn | It uses video mdoe I think | 14:04 |
| coalwater | did u try 'startx' | 14:04 |
| tdn | Wow. If I remove: quiet splash from grub config, it gets further. | 14:04 |
| tdn | Appearently that fixed it. | 14:05 |
| tdn | So maybe it uses a bad VBE mode by default? | 14:05 |
| mang0 | Hm. I need to get my tablet working in ubuntu | 16:12 |

| mang0 | I can't do anything to it :S | 16:47 |
| braiam | mang0: is intended to be used when you don't have X at all | 16:51 |
| mang0 | ah. | 16:51 |
| mang0 | So how do I move in and outta X? | 16:52 |
| mang0 | braiam: ^ | 16:52 |
| braiam | mang0: xkill -all | 16:55 |
| braiam | mang0: be sure you can access to tty | 16:56 |
| braiam | Ctrl + Alt + [F1-F6] | 16:56 |
| mang0 | tty? | 16:56 |
| mang0 | when it says "ubuntu login" | 16:57 |
| mang0 | I put in my ubuntu username right? then the password... | 16:57 |
| braiam | mang0: it's like a terminal, where you can login | 16:57 |
| mang0 | got it | 16:58 |
| braiam | a separate session | 16:58 |
| mang0 | but | 16:58 |
| mang0 | "sudo X-configure" | 16:58 |
| mang0 | apparantly there is no such command | 16:58 |
| mang0 | braiam: ^ | 16:59 |
| braiam | «sudo X -configure» note the space between X and «-» | 16:59 |
| mang0 | aha | 16:59 |
| mang0 | k | 16:59 |
| * mang0 tries again | 16:59 | |
| mang0 | O.o braiam it has exactly the same messages as I pastebinned to you... | 17:00 |
| braiam | mang0: you killed the X server? | 17:00 |
| mang0 | urm | 17:01 |
| mang0 | I just press ctrl + alt + f1 | 17:01 |
| mang0 | pressed* | 17:01 |
| mang0 | do I need to xkill all | 17:01 |
| mang0 | xkill -all* | 17:01 |
| braiam | or «sudo killall X» | 17:02 |
| mang0 | okay | 17:03 |
| mang0 | right, be back soon (I hope!) | 17:03 |
| mang0 | braiam: this isn't working :( | 17:06 |

| braiam | mang0: i'm supposing that you are running ubuntu... what are you running? | 17:13 |
| braiam | mang0: ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu...? | 17:15 |
| mang0 | ubuntu 11.04 natty narwhale | 17:16 |
| braiam | so... you run «sudo service gdm stop» and don't works? | 17:19 |
| braiam | mang0: ^ | 17:19 |
| mang0 | braiam: If I run that it tells me "sudo service command not found" | 17:27 |
| mang0 | or something along those lines | 17:27 |
| braiam | mang0: this will force the X to stop «sudo kill 9 1289» so it's a unclean exit | 17:30 |
| mang0 | :/ | 17:30 |
| mang0 | so. I run "sudo kill 9 1289" then ctrl + alt + f1, then "sudo X -configure" | 17:31 |
| mang0 | right? | 17:31 |
| mang0 | braiam: ^ | 17:31 |
| braiam | or ctrl + alt + f1, "sudo kill 9 1289" "sudo X -configure" | 17:32 |
| braiam | both are right | 17:32 |
| mang0 | k. | 17:32 |
| mang0 | braiam: It still didn't work! | 17:36 |
| braiam | what part? | 17:36 |
| mang0 | braiam: the sudo X -configure | 17:38 |
| mang0 | it gave me the same message (again!) | 17:38 |
| braiam | mang0: you have any gui running? | 17:39 |
| mang0 | atm ofc I do - I'm talking to you using X-chat :3 | 17:39 |
| mang0 | braiam: ^ | 17:42 |
| braiam | mang0: so you need to kill all gui instances, irssi is a text based irc if you feel that you still need some help | 17:44 |
| mang0 | so how do I kill all gui instances? I mean, if I shut all the windows I can see then there are still open things arnt there... | 17:46 |
| braiam | changing to the tty and killing all X server | 17:49 |

| villamil | Hello, does anyone know how to fix problems with the sound? I just did the full Ubuntu installation, and wanted to hear some Gnome tutorials, but I noticed there is no sound in my computer. | 23:07 |
| MrChrisDruif | !sound | villamil | 23:08 |
| ubot2 | villamil: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 23:08 |
| villamil | let me try some of that | 23:09 |
| === Braiam is now known as Braiam-away | ||
| villamil | Okay, it's not the volume... which is good, and I have no idea about hardware, input or output options, so I'll check out the documentation. | 23:13 |
| villamil | By the way, If I want to get help as !sound, where should I type that? | 23:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | villamil; You want to learn how to command the bot? | 23:24 |
| villamil | yes, I am really new in this. is that like a terminal? | 23:25 |
| villamil | or is that like alt+f2? | 23:25 |
| [styx] | no | 23:26 |
| [styx] | a bot is like a person | 23:26 |
| [styx] | but in irc | 23:26 |
| [styx] | you do commands and it talks back | 23:26 |
| [styx] | like what happened after you asked you question | 23:26 |
| [styx] | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat#Bots | 23:27 |
| [styx] | scrooll to the bots section | 23:27 |
| villamil | so ubot2 is the machine talking back to me... | 23:31 |
| villamil | !sound | 23:32 |
| ubot2 | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 23:32 |
| [styx] | yes | 23:36 |
| [styx] | very convient for frequently asked questions | 23:36 |
| [styx] | and some bots help moderate big chennels | 23:36 |
| [styx] | like auto kick ban when if you spam | 23:37 |
| grover78 | hey everyone | 23:37 |
| grover78 | what's the command for the ubuntu "secret update" or whatever its called? | 23:38 |
| MrChrisDruif | villamil; so don't use it in vain, we don't like spam :P | 23:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | grover78; secret update? | 23:41 |
| grover78 | not sure exactly what its called.... some sort of "extra update" for 11.04. I'm new at this, I had ubunto installed but I had to do a wipe and re-install so I'm trying to get everything back | 23:42 |
| grover78 | its supposed to help with extra drivers or something??? | 23:44 |
| [styx] | you mean the one that lets you play .mp3s and stuff? | 23:45 |
| grover78 | yeah I think so | 23:45 |
| MrChrisDruif | ubuntu-restricted-extras you mean? | 23:45 |
| grover78 | yeah thats the one | 23:45 |
| MrChrisDruif | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras in terminal should do the trick | 23:46 |
| grover78 | lol maybe I should change my nick to "ubuntu_noob" lol | 23:46 |
| [styx] | lol | 23:46 |
| [styx] | im noob too | 23:46 |
| [styx] | dont worry | 23:46 |
| grover78 | I'm so used to WinXP so this is pretty different by comparason | 23:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | Indeed, it's what your used to.... | 23:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | I'm used to Ubuntu's "ease" nowadays | 23:48 |
| [styx] | hmmh | 23:48 |
| grover78 | I'm gonna use ubunto for now but I want to find soemthing even lighter on my computer. Its pretty old hardware wise, so the less resources used the better | 23:49 |
| [styx] | isnt there a clod based distro? | 23:50 |
| [styx] | based on linux? | 23:50 |
| [styx] | thats really light? | 23:50 |
| grover78 | not sure. I've heard of "puppy" that's supposed to be light | 23:50 |
| [styx] | AH | 23:55 |
