[20:42] I have been downloading apps through sudo apt-get install (insertname here) [20:43] But I seem to not be able to find them installed but I know they are installed. I also ave no Idea how to run them [20:43] I am completely new to linux and this is the first day with linux for me. [20:44] puri: are they installing with no errors reported? [20:44] Yes. [20:44] It tells me to enter y/n so I entered y and it continued without error [20:44] puri: please give an example of one such application [20:45] I believe I installed libreoffice [20:45] check in your menu under the office section [20:45] puri: click on Menu --> Office [20:46] FuuqUmiist: I'll leave him with you... no point two people here :D [20:46] im getting abiword document viewer and gnumeric but not getting libreoffice [20:46] FuuqUmiist: I'll elt you tell him to use LSC and / or synaptic :D [20:47] ouri use Lubuntu Software centre or Synaptic package manager to install software, you really don't need to use the terminal commands [20:47] puri* [20:47] according to lubuntu software, It is already installed. [20:48] It has a check mark next them it [20:48] oh then ask phillw [20:48] to it* [20:49] puri type libreoffice in the terminal ans see what happens [20:50] oh thats how you start apps... [20:50] I am new to the command line and such :) [20:50] there should be icons in the menu tho [20:51] hm... I'm not seeing any of them. Maybe I would need a restart? [20:52] puri: if the applications are not in your menu section, it does prove as to why people take the time to write LSC and synaptic..... [20:53] puri: FuuqUmiist sorry If I'm abrupt, just chatting about the DDoS that took freenode IRC down, crashed a couple of my servers etc.... Life is never anything but 'fin' :D [20:54] what happened? [20:55] puri: sad people who have nothing better to do attacked a system that is free to all....... go figure their mind set out. [20:56] How long did the attack last? [20:56] but, I have a guy on to help me with something for lubuntu. the attack was more than 3 days [20:57] FuuqUmiist: can you get him to apt-get remove and then use LSC to install it. [20:57] That's a pretty long attack... Don't most attacks last only a couple of minutes? [20:58] it seems to show that I got my apps b [20:58] not when they want to be complete ass-holes, no. they wanted to show they could down a completely free system for a couple of days.... I cannot state my views on them as I would be banned... [20:58] in the menu [20:59] a restart of X?..... FuuqUmiist well done! [20:59] any idea why cairo dock has a black bar though?
