r4yMy brother is running Ubuntu 12.04 and he asked me, Should i do all of the updates that are suggested?, my response was:06:37
r4yThat is a question I have asked myself many times.06:37
r4yI don't know the answer, so I will have to ask some people who use Ubuntu about it. I wouldn't want to have you going through the list, nor would I want to go through the list to decide what to update and not update. I always just update everything06:37
r4yI run Ubuntu 10.04, and I have some experience, but I am not a Linux guru06:38
r4yI figure that by updating everything, it makes sure that the security fixes that are released inclusing for programs I don't use would be more secure from someone somehow using holes that would otherwise not be fixed06:40
r4yI menat including not inclusing06:40
r4ylol, I meant meant not menat06:41
r4yAnyone disagree?06:41
geirhaYeah, I install all updates when they show up, the're not much point not to.07:10
geirhaAnd if it wants to update a program you never use, you can always uninstall that program and not be bothered with updates for it again07:11
r4yGreat, well I didn't figure it takes up much space for hard drives that are 300 GBs in size07:12
r4yWhat about evolution?, I don't remember what program I once un-installed but Ubuntu fell apart because of it07:12
geirhaYes, gnome-panel depended on evolution, so when you uninstalled evolution it also took gnome-panel with it07:13
r4yKnow I know how to add back the default packages through synaptic package manager07:14
r4yAh, then it must have been evolution I un-installed07:14
r4ylol07:14
r4ysince then I took away the note icon for it by using some command I have somewhere in a text file for future reference07:15
r4ysudo apt-get remove indicator-messages then killall gnome-panel07:16
r4yThis is the problem I am having now with Ubuntu 10.04: http://askubuntu.com/questions/122148/flash-in-browsers-does-not-play-sound-accurately-using-pulse-network-audio07:17
geirhaWell, gnome-panel's gone in newer releases07:17
r4yI know, but I am sticking with Ubuntu 10.04 for good07:18
r4yI mean other then experimenting with other Linux OSes of coarse.07:18
r4ySo now I have to kill pulseaudio after starting up Firefox for videos which only lasts for so long a session. And I have tried Chromium but it doesn't help so that's not it.07:20
r4yI am confused, in the link  posted there is a window for sound that I have never seen before?07:24

r4yHe must either be using a different version of Ubuntu or has something installed I don't have installed on Ubuntu 10.0407:27
philipballewr4y, what are you trying to do?07:36
geirhar4y: That's what the sound settings look like in 12.0407:37
r4yO, OK07:37
r4yVideos in Firefox of Ubuntu 10.04 sort of skip, but not the same as skipping, like someone is hitting pause and play but really fast07:38
r4yThe link I posted above show to kill pulseaudio which temporarily fixes the problem, restarting does the same07:40
philipballewalright07:41
r4ySorry, I didn't mean to be vague07:41
r4yThat makes sense since the layout for the top bar is on the left with the same Ubuntu 12.04 theme. I should have known07:49
r4yI don't know if there is a solution for videos to not stutter on a browser. When I play a video on my hard drive and or audio there is not problem07:57
r4ySorry for me bad English. Ha ha, there is no way for me to edit what I have said. Sometimes there is no stuttering for a long time, but I know to expect it on my current setup with online videos.08:06
r4yWell anyways, that's all I have to say I guess. I should go. Thank you for talking to me. Bye :) /08:07
ExUnixGuruWhen installing Ubuntu alongside windows does Ubuntu have knowledge of the drives being in RAIFD?  If not how o I find and get the RAiD drivers to load properly during install/first boot?08:36
ExUnixGuruPlease excuse typoes I am a one hannded touch typer08:37
geirhaI haven't used raids myself, but I'm sure it would at least depend on whether it's a hardware raid or software raid08:39
ExUnixGuruUsing  RAID that is on MB - board  has several avail;able an I have two sets of two RAID0, primary is two SSD08:41
ExUnixGuruI would have hoped the installer would have the drivers available08:41
ExUnixGuruI may have to clean a spare drive up and connect it so Ubuntu has its own drive to install to08:42
ExUnixGuruAm looking to play with the server for setting up a friend with a server for a business..  Will this be the best place to come for questions as I proceed with this endevor?.08:44
geirhaSure, but there's also #ubuntu-server08:45
ExUnixGuruok will look that one up as it will probably be able to answer the advanced questions I will  likely have08:46
ExUnixGuruDoes anyoine here know if Ubuntu supports RAID out of the destribution or do I have to to go MFG and install the driver seperately?08:48
ExUnixGuruThank you for the responses I got.. will try another area...08:51
