[21:02] <Unit193> philipballew: WHy?
[21:02] <ikonia> philipballew: you are telling a user asking for help he needs to provide 50 screen shots ?
[21:03] <philipballew> no, just 1 is good
[21:03] <ikonia> why do you need any ?
[21:04] <kevinisexploiter> great now when i do it it dont show shell to save screen shot
[21:04] <ikonia> you don't need a screen shot
[21:05] <kevinisexploiter> i aggree
[21:05] <kevinisexploiter> i just need to know how to select app to open executable file
[21:06] <ikonia> what is the name of the file
[21:06] <ikonia> (the file you want to open)
[21:07] <kevinisexploiter> unetbootin-linux-575
[21:07] <ikonia> kevinisexploiter: then you need to use unetbootin to open it
[21:13] <kevinisexploiter> ok ijust gave up and went to soft ware center and did it that way
[21:13] <kevinisexploiter> it works now but i still need to know how to find what apps open what files
[21:14] <kevinisexploiter> any ideas???
[21:16] <ikonia> you research it
[21:16] <ikonia> what file do you want to open ?
[21:18] <kevinisexploiter> well i was trying to open unebooten download exe file
[21:18] <kevinisexploiter> instead of going threw software center
[21:19] <ikonia> ok well, thats an executable that you need to run, not open
[21:19] <ikonia> but you should have no need to download it, you should use the packaged version out of software center
[21:20] <kevinisexploiter> what app would i use to run it if i did it that way??
[21:20] <ikonia> you don't need to
[21:20] <ikonia> you should use the version from software center
[21:20] <kevinisexploiter> i am
[21:20] <ikonia> great, then there is no problem
[21:21] <kevinisexploiter> so basically i got the wrong download cause it should have been formatted with a app to run unebooten with right ??is that why i had to go to software center ?
[21:22] <kevinisexploiter> i am a windows guy and usually a download can be ran after u down load
[21:22] <ikonia> it doesn't work that way in linux
[21:22] <kevinisexploiter> ive never been able to do that unless it is done by software center
[21:22] <ikonia> https://help.ubuntu.com - a good guide for a basic introduction to ubuntu
[21:22] <kevinisexploiter> well how does it work
[21:23] <kevinisexploiter> cause i cant always use software center
[21:23] <ikonia> have a read of the link
[21:23] <ikonia> you should be able to use software center for pretty much any software
[21:24] <kevinisexploiter> im just too much a windows guy trying to use ubuntu i guess
[21:24] <kevinisexploiter> ive got so much to learn about ubuntu
[21:24] <ikonia> read the link I gave you
[21:24] <ikonia> it will act as a good basic overview / guide
[21:25] <kevinisexploiter> ok
