[06:37] <r4y> My 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] <r4y> That is a question I have asked myself many times.
[06:37] <r4y> I 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 everything
[06:38] <r4y> I run Ubuntu 10.04, and I have some experience, but I am not a Linux guru
[06:40] <r4y> I 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 fixed
[06:40] <r4y> I menat including not inclusing
[06:41] <r4y> lol, I meant meant not menat
[06:41] <r4y> Anyone disagree?
[07:10] <geirha> Yeah, I install all updates when they show up, the're not much point not to.
[07:11] <geirha> And if it wants to update a program you never use, you can always uninstall that program and not be bothered with updates for it again
[07:12] <r4y> Great, well I didn't figure it takes up much space for hard drives that are 300 GBs in size
[07:12] <r4y> What about evolution?, I don't remember what program I once un-installed but Ubuntu fell apart because of it
[07:13] <geirha> Yes, gnome-panel depended on evolution, so when you uninstalled evolution it also took gnome-panel with it
[07:14] <r4y> Know I know how to add back the default packages through synaptic package manager
[07:14] <r4y> Ah, then it must have been evolution I un-installed
[07:14] <r4y> lol
[07:15] <r4y> since then I took away the note icon for it by using some command I have somewhere in a text file for future reference
[07:16] <r4y> sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages then killall gnome-panel
[07:17] <r4y> This 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-audio
[07:17] <geirha> Well, gnome-panel's gone in newer releases
[07:18] <r4y> I know, but I am sticking with Ubuntu 10.04 for good
[07:18] <r4y> I mean other then experimenting with other Linux OSes of coarse.
[07:20] <r4y> So 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.
[07:24] <r4y> I am confused, in the link  posted there is a window for sound that I have never seen before?
[07:24] <r4y> http://i.stack.imgur.com/SHsGz.png
[07:27] <r4y> He must either be using a different version of Ubuntu or has something installed I don't have installed on Ubuntu 10.04
[07:36] <philipballew> r4y, what are you trying to do?
[07:37] <geirha> r4y: That's what the sound settings look like in 12.04
[07:37] <r4y> O, OK
[07:38] <r4y> Videos in Firefox of Ubuntu 10.04 sort of skip, but not the same as skipping, like someone is hitting pause and play but really fast
[07:40] <r4y> The link I posted above show to kill pulseaudio which temporarily fixes the problem, restarting does the same
[07:41] <philipballew> alright
[07:41] <r4y> Sorry, I didn't mean to be vague
[07:49] <r4y> That makes sense since the layout for the top bar is on the left with the same Ubuntu 12.04 theme. I should have known
[07:57] <r4y> I 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 problem
[08:06] <r4y> Sorry 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.
[08:07] <r4y> Well anyways, that's all I have to say I guess. I should go. Thank you for talking to me. Bye :) /
[08:36] <ExUnixGuru> When 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?
[08:37] <ExUnixGuru> Please excuse typoes I am a one hannded touch typer
[08:39] <geirha> I haven't used raids myself, but I'm sure it would at least depend on whether it's a hardware raid or software raid
[08:41] <ExUnixGuru> Using  RAID that is on MB - board  has several avail;able an I have two sets of two RAID0, primary is two SSD
[08:41] <ExUnixGuru> I would have hoped the installer would have the drivers available
[08:42] <ExUnixGuru> I may have to clean a spare drive up and connect it so Ubuntu has its own drive to install to
[08:44] <ExUnixGuru> Am 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?.
[08:45] <geirha> Sure, but there's also #ubuntu-server
[08:46] <ExUnixGuru> ok will look that one up as it will probably be able to answer the advanced questions I will  likely have
[08:48] <ExUnixGuru> Does anyoine here know if Ubuntu supports RAID out of the destribution or do I have to to go MFG and install the driver seperately?
[08:51] <ExUnixGuru> Thank you for the responses I got.. will try another area...
