[17:20] <Dmstrdj> doesnt look like thats gonna happen lol
[17:20] <suprengr> ah well.... BOO!  ;D
[17:20] <suprengr> Dmstrdj,  ;)
[17:21] <Dmstrdj> kind of dull huh
[17:22] <suprengr> not so much dull as a complete yawn job... [yawn]
[19:55] <E3D3_1> What should I do to remove all 'buy' options in Ubuntu ?
[19:57] <E3D3_1> I 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] <bioterror> what is that? :D
[19:58] <bioterror> oh
[19:58] <bioterror> dont use software center ;)
[19:58] <bioterror> maybe that's why I didnt know about buying things
[19:58] <bioterror> thank god Lubuntu team is making a new software center ;)
[19:59] <E3D3_1> I thinking about never use Ubuntu again. I saw amazon in that buggie Banshee & now I'm  ask to pay/buy. Its horrible.
[20:00] <bioterror> I could understand if you're dissapointed in other things than a software center
[20:00] <E3D3_1> Making a new centre without those commercial bulls*t
[20:00] <pleia2> E3D3_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] <suprengr> E3D3_1,  pardon the bluntness... but I think you're being stoopid
[20:00] <pleia2> suprengr: please be nice
[20:01] <pleia2> E3D3_1: you can use the program "synaptic" if you want a graphical interface for installing software and don't like the software center
[20:02] <E3D3_1> I 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] <suprengr> pleia2, [i was trying to be  nicwe - i was referring to using a limited section of Ubuntu.. not the character concerned
[20:02] <suprengr> *nice
[20:02] <pleia2> E3D3_1: please watch your language
[20:02] <pleia2> this really isn't the place to insult Ubuntu
[20:03] <bioterror> E3D3_1, now you have a good reason to move to Gentoo \o/
[20:03] <suprengr> ...& hi pleia2
[20:04] <E3D3_1> What ? 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.
[20:05] <pleia2> Ubuntu has only been around for 7 years
[20:05] <E3D3_1> Whatever, I have even an official Ubuntu sticker on all my laptops
[20:05] <pleia2> synaptic 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)
[20:08] <E3D3_1> Please 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] <pleia2> you can try Debian
[20:09] <pleia2> the 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 from
[20:10] <suprengr> E3D3_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.
[20:11] <pleia2> suprengr: Banshee has paid services offered too
[20:14] <suprengr> pleia2, but they are *choices* aren't they [as in not compulsory use]
[20:16] <pleia2> suprengr: 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 all
[20:17] <pleia2> Debian is probably a better option for these folks :)
[20:18] <suprengr> pleia2, 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 concerned
