coalwaterwhat03:52
asterismoif i drag the desktop folders and files in to my home, they copy again in the desktop as a "copy of documents"03:56
coalwaterdo u want to move ?04:00

IAmNotThatGuyAh! Thats great. Join #ubuntu-beginners-team so that we can discuss =]04:44
Chaciouswhats the diff between this channel and that, is that one more for general talk and this one mainly for help?04:44
IAmNotThatGuyThis channel is for help. That channel is for offtopic. Our discussion falls under offtopic =)04:45
Chaciousk gotacha04:45
Space-DuckWhy can I not find apache in the software center?05:39
Chacioustry searching for apache205:39
Chaciouslogging into my ubuntu desktop to see if i can find it05:40
holsteininteresting05:42
holsteinsearching apache in the software center doesnt work, but apache2 does...05:42
Chaciousi found it by searching for apache2 but not apache05:42
holsteinChacious: yeah... odd right?05:42
Chaciousvery05:42
holsteinthis is about the 3rd time ive opened the software center though05:43
Chaciousfigured it would show up with a search for apache since itso nly 1 character off what it is called when you do a sudo apt-get install05:43
Chaciousits only*05:43
holsteindoesnt seem like its properly drilling down05:44
holsteinwonder where you find/file that bug ;)05:44
bioterroronce again apt-cache search could have been a better tool ;)05:44
holsteincomes right up there :)05:45
coalwaterhow do i search using apt-(something)05:48
holsteinapt-cache search whateve05:48
holsteindont need sudo even05:48
Chaciousnever knew about that very handy05:48
coalwaterbut that searches my cache folder only?05:48
coalwateror all available packages even if not installed ?05:49
Chaciousall i assume05:49
coalwaterok, so assuming in this case we want to find apache, we do apt-cache what?05:49
bioterrorand you can use many words in apt-cache05:50
bioterrorlike hmmm05:50
coalwaterapt-cache hmm :D05:50
holsteinyeah, it searches the repositories05:50
bioterrorapt-cache search game rpg05:51

s-foxHello hobgoblin .15:21
bdfhjkhi s-fox15:42
FanshaweHello all. Is there an equivalent of Siri available in Ubuntu?17:00
bdfhjkhi Fanshawe17:01
bdfhjkwhat is it Siri?17:01
FanshaweSiri is a personal assistant program which recognises speech commands, and takes notes if you dictate to it17:02
FanshaweIn fact, just a program that I can speak to and have it take down what I say in text form would be superbly useful to me17:03
Fanshawebut I don't know whether one exists17:03
bdfhjkI don't know about program like this17:04
bdfhjkmaybe someone else will know17:04
FanshaweOkay. Thank you anyway.17:05
hobgoblinFanshawe: a look on the forum is sparse - there was something a year ago - but it doesn't appear to be very flexible17:07
FanshaweI'd be willing to test anything.17:08
hobgoblinnot sure if it's anygood for dictation though17:08
