[04:19] <iheartubuntu> hello?
[04:19] <iheartubuntu> still there locodir
[04:19] <iheartubuntu> whats up
[04:19] <locodir-user> oh sup!
[04:20] <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?
[04:21] <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?
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <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
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <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
[04:26] <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?
[04:27] <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
[04:28] <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
[04:29] <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..
[04:30] <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
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <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
[04:33] <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
[04:34] <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
[04:35] <iheartubuntu> so if you can figure it out you are screwed mate
[04:36] <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
[04:37] <iheartubuntu> if you did a dual boot it actually partitions the hard drive
[04:37] <locodir-user> yes i know'
[04:38] <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
[04:39] <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
[04:40] <locodir-user> ok
[04:40] <locodir-user> im just wondering
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <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
[04:44] <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
[04:45] <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
[04:46] <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?
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <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.
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <iheartubuntu> you dont need any of that
[04:50] <iheartubuntu> it can all be done in software center usually
[04:51] <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
[04:53] <iheartubuntu> np
[04:57] <locodir-user> one last question
[04:57] <locodir-user> whenever people say to go the system
[04:57] <locodir-user> where would that be?
[04:59] <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
[05:00] <locodir-user> (System ⟶ Administration ⟶ Software Sources)
[05:00] <locodir-user> and many other things like this:
[05:01] <locodir-user> (System ⟶ Administration ⟶ Update Manager)
[05:01] <locodir-user> (System ⟶ Administration ⟶ Synaptic Package Manager)
[05:02] <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"
[05:03] <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
[05:04] <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
[05:05] <iheartubuntu> just open it up and look through the menu options
[05:06] <iheartubuntu> good luck!
[05:06] <locodir-user> kk thx
[07:16] <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?
[17:25] <jyo> pleia2: "we'll be closing the tab often." lol
[17:26] <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
[17:27] <pleia2> much better if we close the tab often, and let people know we're doing it
[17:34] <jyo> Hooray someone inadvertently buying me a drink last time
[17:36] <pleia2> hehe
[17:38] <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
[17:39] <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
[17:40] <iheartubuntu> btw i think that kid last night was trying to get into his dads ubuntu system or something :)
[17:50] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: is it just the light, or can you hear the drive all the time?
[17:57] <iheartubuntu> i dont really hear the hard drive doing anything
[17:57] <iheartubuntu> and i installed a lil program called SYSPEEK
[17:58] <iheartubuntu> which shows me the system monitor
[17:58] <iheartubuntu> and thats about 10-30%
[17:58] <iheartubuntu> most of the time
[17:59] <iheartubuntu> the light doesnt really blink either as if its accessing anything. its just solid ON
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <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
[18:25] <Faqtotum> i need to get the machine into a production state with LTS ASAP and it's too new for 10.04
[19:12] <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
[19:13] <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
[19:14] <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)
[19:17] <pleia2> saved \o/
[19:17] <pleia2> looks like it was just the graphical update manager that went south on me
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <philipballew>   /r/ubuntu is okay
[21:41] <bkerensa> I like /r/portland and /r/politics
[21:47] <philipballew>  /r/plnu is for my school.
[21:49] <philipballew> welcome to the sheltered bubble of a Christian school
[21:50] <philipballew> where the students are liberal and the administration is scarred about it
[21:53] <philipballew> they gave me a scholarship, I shouldn't complain about the head people probably
[22:15] <akk> uh-oh, they kicked him off the network for complaining
[22:16] <pleia2> lol
[22:23] <bkerensa> my new shoes are here! So glad I get to wear shoes that nobody else can even buy yet :D
[22:24] <pleia2> I'm not sure I'd want to be a beta tester for shoes
[22:26] <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
