| iheartubuntu | whats up | 04:19 |
| locodir-user | oh sup! | 04:19 |
| iheartubuntu | :D | 04:20 |
| iheartubuntu | everyone must be riveted to a car chase on tc | 04:20 |
| iheartubuntu | tv | 04:20 |
| locodir-user | before i start questioning, are you a pro at ubutu | 04:20 |
| iheartubuntu | kinda yes, kinda no | 04:20 |
| iheartubuntu | i'll try | 04:20 |
| locodir-user | oh lol im from arizona but i think the team is sleeping | 04:20 |
| locodir-user | about the car chase, wats going on? | 04:20 |
| iheartubuntu | just kidding! | 04:21 |
| iheartubuntu | theres not one on... (yet | 04:21 |
| iheartubuntu | the night is still young | 04:21 |
| locodir-user | lol ok' | 04:21 |
| iheartubuntu | so something wrong with your system? | 04:21 |
| locodir-user | no actually, im a pro (in bold letters) at windows but its getting old and ive heard about ubuntu | 04:22 |
| locodir-user | so i did the wubi | 04:22 |
| locodir-user | im using it right now | 04:22 |
| iheartubuntu | cool! | 04:22 |
| iheartubuntu | i started with wubi back in 2006 | 04:22 |
| locodir-user | but im very dissapointed that MANY essentials dont run on ubuntu like adobe flash player | 04:22 |
| locodir-user | so i cant watch utube vids | 04:23 |
| iheartubuntu | what version ubuntu? | 04:23 |
| locodir-user | 11.10 | 04:23 |
| iheartubuntu | and you are on ubuntu right now? | 04:23 |
| locodir-user | yes | 04:23 |
| iheartubuntu | the easiest way.. go into the Ubuntu Software Center | 04:23 |
| iheartubuntu | the orange shopping bag icon | 04:23 |
| iheartubuntu | and do a search for "ubuntu restriced extras" | 04:23 |
| iheartubuntu | whoops | 04:23 |
| iheartubuntu | ubuntu restricted extras | 04:23 |
| iheartubuntu | and install that | 04:24 |
| iheartubuntu | do u have a fast internet connection? | 04:24 |
| locodir-user | yes almost 2.1 mb download per sec with movie streaming | 04:24 |
| iheartubuntu | im not sure how big that is... might be 50-200 mb depending | 04:24 |
| locodir-user | now b4 we continue | 04:24 |
| iheartubuntu | so youre good | 04:24 |
| locodir-user | ive been having a problem | 04:24 |
| locodir-user | with all file accesing | 04:24 |
| locodir-user | it always asks me for a password | 04:25 |
| iheartubuntu | which files? | 04:25 |
| locodir-user | but i dont have one on | 04:25 |
| iheartubuntu | in file manager? | 04:25 |
| locodir-user | the authorization password | 04:25 |
| locodir-user | the one you need to authorize when doing anything | 04:25 |
| iheartubuntu | you dont have a password? | 04:25 |
| locodir-user | no | 04:25 |
| iheartubuntu | ive never installed ubuntu without needing to enter a password the very first time | 04:26 |
| iheartubuntu | when you installed ubuntu using wubi | 04:26 |
| locodir-user | well i did have one | 04:26 |
| locodir-user | then i changed the settings after i finished | 04:26 |
| iheartubuntu | it should have asked for a username and a password in wubi launcher | 04:26 |
| iheartubuntu | which settings did u change? the password? | 04:26 |
| iheartubuntu | you might need to use your original password when installing | 04:27 |
| locodir-user | ok let me try | 04:27 |
| locodir-user | nope | 04:27 |
| locodir-user | didnt work | 04:27 |
| iheartubuntu | so it asks for a password to access a file in file manager? | 04:28 |
| akk | Have you tried just hitting enter when it asks for the password. | 04:28 |
| locodir-user | yes | 04:28 |
| iheartubuntu | maybe you arent in administrator mode anymore | 04:28 |
| locodir-user | ill check | 04:28 |
| iheartubuntu | your dad put ubuntu on for a reason son | 04:28 |
| locodir-user | it says | 04:29 |
| iheartubuntu | just kidding :) | 04:29 |
| locodir-user | lol actually im the one who downloaded ubuntu | 04:29 |
| locodir-user | .... | 04:29 |
| locodir-user | he dislikes me messing with software and new stuff | 04:29 |
| locodir-user | anyway | 04:29 |
| locodir-user | it says | 04:29 |
| locodir-user | Account type: | 04:29 |
| locodir-user | administrator | 04:29 |
| locodir-user | so.. im still the admin.. | 04:29 |
| iheartubuntu | can u go to the system settings? | 04:30 |
| akk | Can you set a password? Just to see if it gets you past this problem? | 04:30 |
| iheartubuntu | the red icon with gear | 04:30 |
| iheartubuntu | and then "user accounts" | 04:30 |
| locodir-user | @akk, no it askes for "the current password" which i dont have | 04:30 |
| akk | darn | 04:30 |
| locodir-user | and when i leave it blank | 04:30 |
| locodir-user | it doesnt allow me to click next | 04:31 |
| iheartubuntu | the red icon with gear | 04:31 |
| iheartubuntu | and then "user accounts" | 04:31 |
| locodir-user | ok | 04:31 |
| iheartubuntu | so tell me how many accounts are listed | 04:31 |
| locodir-user | 1 | 04:32 |
| locodir-user | which has my name on it | 04:32 |
| iheartubuntu | and it says administrator? | 04:32 |
| iheartubuntu | what if you click the "unlock" | 04:32 |
| locodir-user | it asks for a password -_- | 04:32 |
| locodir-user | and yes it says administrator | 04:32 |
| iheartubuntu | type in your password then | 04:32 |
| locodir-user | i tried | 04:32 |
| iheartubuntu | have you ever changed the password? | 04:33 |
| locodir-user | no, my first password was livelong (i honestly dont care if you know) | 04:33 |
| locodir-user | then i checked the option to no password | 04:33 |
| iheartubuntu | mine is bigmonkey (old girlfriends nickname) | 04:34 |
| iheartubuntu | not her name, my name | 04:34 |
| iheartubuntu | she did walk with a limp though | 04:34 |
| locodir-user | rofl i thought that was her nickname | 04:34 |
| iheartubuntu | no password just means no password to log into ubuntu | 04:34 |
| iheartubuntu | so if you can figure it out you are screwed mate | 04:35 |
| iheartubuntu | i would go back to windows, uninstall wubi and start over remembering your password | 04:36 |
| locodir-user | well, if i do a clean install after i back up the files via ubuntu one. when i restore, will apply the "current" pass i have | 04:36 |
| iheartubuntu | clean install? | 04:36 |
| iheartubuntu | if you did wubi its like a virtual partition on your disc within windows | 04:36 |
| iheartubuntu | if you did a dual boot it actually partitions the hard drive | 04:37 |
| locodir-user | yes i know' | 04:37 |
| locodir-user | when i say clean install, i mean completely delete ubuntu and retry ( but if i can get the hang of ubuntu, i might just install it over windows | 04:38 |
| iheartubuntu | i havent done wubi in year but cant imagine its changed much. | 04:38 |
| iheartubuntu | thats how i did it... wubi first for a few weeks, then i wiped it clean, then did a dual boot for a few months, then wiped it all and did only ubuntu | 04:38 |
| iheartubuntu | 6 years later and not one virus | 04:38 |
| locodir-user | does ubuntu have an equvalant to windows "task manager"? | 04:39 |
| iheartubuntu | system monitor | 04:39 |
| locodir-user | how do i access that? | 04:39 |
| iheartubuntu | click the ubuntu icon top left and type that in | 04:39 |
| locodir-user | ok | 04:40 |
| locodir-user | im just wondering | 04:40 |
| locodir-user | do u know if there are any youtube series that goes indepth about ubuntu? | 04:41 |
| iheartubuntu | not sure | 04:41 |
| iheartubuntu | youtube wont work if you cant install flash as you need a password | 04:41 |
| iheartubuntu | so.... fastest way is to uninstall wubi (which removes ubuntu) | 04:42 |
| iheartubuntu | then reinstall ubuntu with wubi | 04:42 |
| iheartubuntu | remembering your password this time | 04:42 |
| locodir-user | sure, but what does it mean when i install the ubuntu restricted extras it says: remove libav utility and codec library | 04:43 |
| iheartubuntu | thats ok | 04:43 |
| iheartubuntu | the restricted extras gives you stuff like flash, java, and mp3 capabilities | 04:44 |
| locodir-user | and what does " [sudo] password for (my name): | 04:44 |
| locodir-user | man | 04:44 |
| iheartubuntu | which cant be installed by default for licensing purposes | 04:44 |
| locodir-user | mean*( | 04:44 |
| locodir-user | not man.. | 04:44 |
| iheartubuntu | it is asking for your password | 04:44 |
| locodir-user | well B4 i took of the password | 04:45 |
| locodir-user | it didnt let me type anything | 04:45 |
| iheartubuntu | how did you take it off? | 04:45 |
| locodir-user | when you go to password: | 04:45 |
| locodir-user | theres an option that says none | 04:45 |
| locodir-user | back to the terminal thingy | 04:46 |
| locodir-user | the flashing rectangle' | 04:46 |
| locodir-user | flashes | 04:46 |
| locodir-user | and when i press any button it stops | 04:46 |
| locodir-user | and when i press more nothing happens | 04:46 |
| iheartubuntu | are u in a terminal window? | 04:46 |
| locodir-user | it only starts to reflash when i click on the stop where it was | 04:47 |
| locodir-user | yes | 04:47 |
| iheartubuntu | since you are new i recommend installing the restricted extras via software center | 04:47 |
| locodir-user | yes i know thats an option for the flash player | 04:48 |
| locodir-user | but there are many other things that need me to go through the terminal | 04:48 |
| iheartubuntu | ??? | 04:48 |
| locodir-user | and i always get stuck at the password thing | 04:48 |
| locodir-user | ex. | 04:48 |
| locodir-user | http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2011/09/12/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-11-10-aka-oneiric-ocelot/ | 04:49 |
| locodir-user | most of the things on that page require me to use the terminal | 04:49 |
| iheartubuntu | you dont need any of that | 04:50 |
| iheartubuntu | it can all be done in software center usually | 04:50 |
| locodir-user | ok well time for me to read a lot more. re-install wubi and oh shit | 04:51 |
| locodir-user | just remember | 04:51 |
| locodir-user | only free till next, next monday | 04:51 |
| locodir-user | well nvm that | 04:51 |
| locodir-user | thx for the support | 04:51 |
| iheartubuntu | np | 04:53 |
| locodir-user | one last question | 04:57 |
| locodir-user | whenever people say to go the system | 04:57 |
| locodir-user | where would that be? | 04:57 |
| iheartubuntu | not sure what you mean by that | 04:59 |
| iheartubuntu | system settings? | 04:59 |
| iheartubuntu | system monitor? | 04:59 |
| locodir-user | well this is wat it says | 04:59 |
| locodir-user | (System ⟶ Administration ⟶ Software Sources) | 05:00 |
| locodir-user | and many other things like this: | 05:00 |
| locodir-user | (System ⟶ Administration ⟶ Update Manager) | 05:01 |
| locodir-user | (System ⟶ Administration ⟶ Synaptic Package Manager) | 05:01 |
| iheartubuntu | ubuntu recently redesigned itself. those are old commands for ubuntu 10.10 or older | 05:02 |
| iheartubuntu | 11.04 and 11.10 use a new desktop interface called Unity | 05:02 |
| iheartubuntu | in unity you would just click the ubuntu logo at the top left and then type in "software sources" | 05:02 |
| iheartubuntu | or "update manager" | 05:02 |
| iheartubuntu | or "synaptic package manager" | 05:03 |
| iheartubuntu | synaptic isnt installed by default anymore since most of what you need to do is through software center | 05:03 |
| iheartubuntu | you can however install synaptic, but.... you need your password | 05:03 |
| locodir-user | lol dont worry ill get the pass problem fixed | 05:04 |
| locodir-user | so it says to go to synaptic package manager so i can change the repositoriesw | 05:04 |
| iheartubuntu | you can also do that in the ubuntu software center too | 05:04 |
| iheartubuntu | just open it up and look through the menu options | 05:05 |
| iheartubuntu | good luck! | 05:06 |
| locodir-user | kk thx | 05:06 |
| locodir-user | anyone here? | 07:16 |
| locodir-user | just need to ask a simple question | 07:16 |
| locodir-user | echo to bravo | 07:16 |
| locodir-user | do you read me? | 07:16 |
| jyo | pleia2: "we'll be closing the tab often." lol | 17:25 |
| pleia2 | heh :) I'm sure people don't mean it (probably forgot), but there have been a few instances of folks walking out without paying and my bill (or Jono's) ends up bigger than it should be | 17:26 |
| pleia2 | much better if we close the tab often, and let people know we're doing it | 17:27 |
| jyo | Hooray someone inadvertently buying me a drink last time | 17:34 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 17:36 |
| iheartubuntu | hi all. i had upgraded an older computer to 11.10 and the HDD light is always on now. any way to check or fix this? | 17:38 |
| iheartubuntu | the computer is 2.4ghtz, P4, 1GB mem, 128mb nvidia video card | 17:38 |
| iheartubuntu | 32bit | 17:38 |
| iheartubuntu | this comp had 10.10 on it and the HDD light was hardly ever on unless i was opening BIG pdf files or something | 17:39 |
| iheartubuntu | seems like 11.10 is maxxing something out | 17:39 |
| iheartubuntu | btw i think that kid last night was trying to get into his dads ubuntu system or something :) | 17:40 |
| pleia2 | iheartubuntu: is it just the light, or can you hear the drive all the time? | 17:50 |
| iheartubuntu | i dont really hear the hard drive doing anything | 17:57 |
| iheartubuntu | and i installed a lil program called SYSPEEK | 17:57 |
| iheartubuntu | which shows me the system monitor | 17:58 |
| iheartubuntu | and thats about 10-30% | 17:58 |
| iheartubuntu | most of the time | 17:58 |
| iheartubuntu | the light doesnt really blink either as if its accessing anything. its just solid ON | 17:59 |
| Faqtotum | how ok is it to install precise as production at this point? | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | "never install betas in production" | 18:23 |
| iheartubuntu | agreed on that | 18:23 |
| iheartubuntu | i put precise on my laptop and every time i turn it on there are a ton of updates | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | as an LTS the betas have been smoother than normal, but I wouldn't say it's ok for production | 18:23 |
| Faqtotum | i did that with breezy and hardy without too much trouble | 18:24 |
| iheartubuntu | in older editions of ubuntu betas i had crashes and other problems. not at all these days on beta releases | 18:24 |
| Faqtotum | i need to get the machine into a production state with LTS ASAP and it's too new for 10.04 | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | Faqtotum: for what it's worth, I installed the daily build from the 13th and ran updates today, the update manager has now crashed and I'll probably have to reinstall | 19:12 |
| Faqtotum | :( | 19:13 |
| pleia2 | if I did updates every day it might have been better, but I don't know | 19:13 |
| Faqtotum | not a good sign | 19:13 |
| pleia2 | (trying to fix it with plain apt now, I don't usually use the gui update manager but I was trying to use the system like a normal person) | 19:14 |
| === Faqtotum is now known as MyHorseIsAmazing | ||
| pleia2 | saved \o/ | 19:17 |
| pleia2 | looks like it was just the graphical update manager that went south on me | 19:17 |

| philipballew | bkerensa, now that omg is down, I need to find a new place to troll... | 21:39 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: Reddit is the usual suspect | 21:39 |
| philipballew | reddit is my favorite | 21:39 |
| philipballew | /r/ubuntu is okay | 21:40 |
| bkerensa | I like /r/portland and /r/politics | 21:41 |
| philipballew | /r/plnu is for my school. | 21:47 |
| philipballew | welcome to the sheltered bubble of a Christian school | 21:49 |
| philipballew | where the students are liberal and the administration is scarred about it | 21:50 |
| philipballew | they gave me a scholarship, I shouldn't complain about the head people probably | 21:53 |
| akk | uh-oh, they kicked him off the network for complaining | 22:15 |
| pleia2 | lol | 22:16 |
| bkerensa | my new shoes are here! So glad I get to wear shoes that nobody else can even buy yet :D | 22:23 |
| pleia2 | I'm not sure I'd want to be a beta tester for shoes | 22:24 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Not even these? http://i.imgur.com/XPk0V.jpg | 22:26 |
| bkerensa | :D | 22:26 |
| pleia2 | they aren't pink | 22:26 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: I think they are going to offer a Pink version sometime not sure | 22:26 |
| bkerensa | :D | 22:26 |
| pleia2 | lol | 22:26 |
