E3D3_1What should I do to remove all 'buy' options in Ubuntu ?19:55
E3D3_1I never been so disappointed in Ubuntu. In the default installation the software centre try to sell me things. I think I'm out for ever.19:57
bioterrorwhat is that? :D19:57
bioterroroh19:58
bioterrordont use software center ;)19:58
bioterrormaybe that's why I didnt know about buying things19:58
bioterrorthank god Lubuntu team is making a new software center ;)19:58
E3D3_1I thinking about never use Ubuntu again. I saw amazon in that buggie Banshee & now I'm  ask to pay/buy. Its horrible.19:59
bioterrorI could understand if you're dissapointed in other things than a software center20:00
E3D3_1Making a new centre without those commercial bulls*t20:00
pleia2E3D3_1: this is a support channel, please watch your language and use this channel for asking for support (not complaining about the OS)20:00
suprengrE3D3_1,  pardon the bluntness... but I think you're being stoopid20:00
pleia2suprengr: please be nice20:00
pleia2E3D3_1: you can use the program "synaptic" if you want a graphical interface for installing software and don't like the software center20:01
E3D3_1I use Synaptic normally but because it was there I tried the software centre. I never saw this face of Ubuntu before & it just scared the hell out of me.20:02
suprengrpleia2, [i was trying to be  nicwe - i was referring to using a limited section of Ubuntu.. not the character concerned20:02
suprengr*nice20:02
pleia2E3D3_1: please watch your language20:02
pleia2this really isn't the place to insult Ubuntu20:02
bioterrorE3D3_1, now you have a good reason to move to Gentoo \o/20:03
suprengr...& hi pleia220:03
E3D3_1What ? Im not insulting, don't be so silly. Im serious, Im an Ubuntu fan for > 10 years & never saw something on my system asking for money. This was the first time. Yes I seen very good things about Gentoo but I hope I just can disable all the commercial annoyance.20:04
pleia2Ubuntu has only been around for 7 years20:05
E3D3_1Whatever, I have even an official Ubuntu sticker on all my laptops20:05
pleia2synaptic has more fine tuned controls for what you want to see, the software center is designed to show you everything available (including paid and non-free)20:05
E3D3_1Please can you help me to avoid another commercial question from my OS. In wich repositories are those. I never saw that kind of software although I install way to much.20:08
pleia2you can try Debian20:08
pleia2the Debian project is very committed to providing a free (as in beer and speech) Linux experience, it won't even install non-free drivers by default, and it's the base on which Ubuntu comes from20:09
suprengrE3D3_1,  confused... you started on Software Centre.. but next you complained about Banshee?   You seem to know there are alternatives within Ubuntu...   I'm confused with your  line of thought.20:10
pleia2suprengr: Banshee has paid services offered too20:11
suprengrpleia2, but they are *choices* aren't they [as in not compulsory use]20:14
pleia2suprengr: I agree, and they are features that people use and like, I think some folks are just bothered by being offered a paid option at all20:16
pleia2Debian is probably a better option for these folks :)20:17
suprengrpleia2, yea... like U1 offers itself free *and* a paid option... still you can't please all etc.!  Y, perhaps other distros are better for those concerned20:18
