ubot2fosburg: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/17:47

ParkaSpaceHello? I have some rather embarrassingly simple questions...22:45
ParkaSpaceI'm starting to use Ubuntu, and I'm noticing that when I tell applications to quit, they continue working in the background, and I'm not sure why.22:45
ParkaSpaceI'm telling them to quit using the dock, not just buttons on the window, but they don't seem to shut down.22:46
JackyAlcineParkaSpace: That usually signals for the applications to quit, but not necessarily terminate.22:51
JackyAlcineAnd no question's embarrasing.22:51
ParkaSpaceAh, okay. How precisely do I terminate a program then? It's kind of frustrating when I want to turn off my chat client and continue to receive messages, or my music player won't shut off.22:52
JackyAlcineAh. What version of Ubuntu are you using and what application is running as your dock?22:54
JackyAlcineIf you're using 11.10, then that'd be a matter of opening the application and manually clicking "Exit", "Quit" or "Close".22:55
ParkaSpaceI am running 11.10, and I used the "Quit" command by right-clicking from the dock. Should I use the title bar of the application instead?22:55
ParkaSpaceI'm not sure how to check what is running as the dock...22:56
JackyAlcineThat, to your left, is the dock.23:00
JackyAlcineAnd yes, if it doesn't close there, you should close it using the window controls instead.23:00
ParkaSpaceI'm trying to quit Banshee Music Player, for example. "Close" takes the program off the dock, but the song I selected is still playing. I bring it back up with the Dash, and tried to close it with the window, and it is still playing.23:01
ParkaSpaceSelecting "Quit" from the dock command does the same thing. Pulls it off the dock out of sight, but I still hear Weird Al.23:01
ParkaSpaceI'm sorry, I guess I should say: I know what the dock is, but I thought you were asking if there was a specific version of the dock, like Unity2d or something. Sorry about that.23:04
JackyAlcinePress Alt+F2 and enter "killall banshee -s KILL"23:10
JackyAlcineIt's a dirty way of doing it, but it'll kill Banshee.23:10
JackyAlcineFor Empathy, do the same and change the command to "killall empathy empathy-chat -s KILL"23:10
bioterrorno empathy to the empathy23:11
bioterroror for23:11
bioterrorkill is actually rather nice way to do it, becouse it always tries to close it properly23:12
ParkaSpaceAh, okay. Thank you. So commands are the way to do it for now? Is there a way to try to find a setting or something later?23:12
bioterrorwhen for example -9, it's like execution to the process23:12
bioterror"headshot!"23:12
ParkaSpaceThanks23:26
ParkaSpaceBye23:26
