| belalobo | hello everyone. I just installed ubuntustudio on my laptop. I'd like to have other desktop enviroments to choose from at login, for example the ubuntu stardart desktop or gnome 3. is it safe to install without breaking/messing up the system? if so how can I do it? thanks | 12:34 |
| zequence | belalobo: It's mostly safe, yes. You get additional applications, so you'll have duplicates of some things, like file managers | 12:44 |
| zequence | And in the worst case scenario, there are some user files that conflict between the DEs, but in my experience, it's mostly fine | 12:45 |
| zequence | Depends on how similar the DEs are, and what you had originally, etc | 12:45 |
| zequence | You won't break the system anyhow. Nothing that critical | 12:46 |
| zequence | holstein: You miss the ol' gnome style? http://worldofgnome.org/gnome-classic-3-12-is-better-than-ever/ | 13:04 |
| belalobo | do you know how to install it from the cli? | 13:04 |
| belalobo | i try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop but it doesnt work | 13:04 |
| zequence | Which one? | 13:04 |
| belalobo | i'll go for ubuntu | 13:05 |
| zequence | what is the error message when you do that? | 13:05 |
| belalobo | let me check again | 13:05 |
| zequence | The package should exist. Not sure with all releases. | 13:05 |
| belalobo | Unable to locate package ubuntu-destop | 13:06 |
| belalobo | sorry there was a typo | 13:06 |
| zequence | belalobo: Make use of the TAB key when you write commands | 13:07 |
| zequence | A lot of commands have auto-complete features | 13:07 |
| belalobo | but now i get this: Media change: please insert the disc labeled | 13:07 |
| belalobo | 'Ubuntu-Studio 12.04.2 _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20130213)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter | 13:07 |
| zequence | so, if you do: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desk, and then hit TAB, it should auto-complete. Hit a couple of times, and it will show you several alternatives, if there are such | 13:07 |
| zequence | Could you post me the concents of your sources.list. Do this command: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:08 |
| zequence | Then paste the resulst in http://paste.ubuntu.com | 13:08 |
| zequence | And pass me the link | 13:08 |
| zequence | Remember to make use of the TAB key | 13:09 |
| zequence | It works really nicely with paths | 13:09 |
| belalobo | ok | 13:10 |
| belalobo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7010260/ | 13:11 |
| zequence | belalobo: The first line there should not be there | 13:12 |
| zequence | You can delete it, and save the file. To do that, you need to be root. Either use nano (if you know how), or gedit: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:12 |
| zequence | This one: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Studio 12.04.2 _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20130213)]/ precise main multiverse restricted universe | 13:13 |
| zequence | Once you've removed that line from the file, and saved it, you need to update the package list cache | 13:13 |
| zequence | which is: sudo apt-get update | 13:13 |
| zequence | then, try to install | 13:13 |
| belalobo | hum ok. can you tell me why the line is there anyway? | 13:14 |
| zequence | No idea. It should be automatically removed after you installed the system | 13:14 |
| zequence | Which I hope you have done :P | 13:14 |
| zequence | Or maybe you have clicked the option to use the CD in software sources? | 13:14 |
| zequence | In any case, you don't need it. Just remove that line | 13:15 |
| belalobo | hum dunno really | 13:15 |
| belalobo | this is a fresh install | 13:15 |
| belalobo | anyway i did what you said and now it is installing | 13:16 |
| belalobo | :) | 13:16 |
| zequence | good | 13:17 |
| zequence | belalobo: Each line in the file /etc/apt/sources.list tell from where to look for packages | 13:17 |
| zequence | belalobo: First, there are different pockets. Each pocket have up to four repos: main, universe, multiverse, restricted | 13:18 |
| zequence | Or, I should say,first there are different archives | 13:18 |
| zequence | Two of the archives are commented out - the partner and the extra archives | 13:19 |
| zequence | If you need applications like Skype or Adobe Acrobat Reader, you'lll need to enable the Partner archive | 13:19 |
| zequence | Meaning, uncomment that line | 13:19 |
| zequence | comment == # | 13:19 |
| zequence | Well, lines starting with # | 13:20 |
| belalobo | i just installed skype and all went well. didn't have to edit sources list | 13:20 |
| zequence | main is free software, maintained by Canonical. restricted is non-free software, maintained by canonical (nvidia, etc) | 13:20 |
| zequence | belalobo: Not from apt - you downloaded it | 13:21 |
| belalobo | yes | 13:21 |
| zequence | You can install it directly doing: sudo apt-get install skype | 13:21 |
| zequence | ..if you enable the partner archive | 13:21 |
| belalobo | is it ok or should i install it with apt? | 13:21 |
| zequence | It's fine | 13:21 |
| zequence | universe is free software maintained by the community - mostly imported from Debian. That is where all the Ubuntu Studio packages are | 13:22 |
| zequence | multiverse is non-free software maintained by the community | 13:22 |
| belalobo | well... for now I only have one thing to say to you | 13:22 |
| belalobo | and that is | 13:22 |
| belalobo | thank you very much sir :) | 13:22 |
| zequence | belalobo: You're welcome :) | 13:23 |
| belalobo | i'll be back lol | 13:23 |

| fibz_ | hmm... this might be better asked in #ubuntu or #xubuntu the only way i know how to do it is to build the system the way you like and image it out (using Redo Backup & Restore or FLDT: https://github.com/pennmanor/FLDT ) | 23:44 |
