[09:39] <Squirm> morning
[09:51] <Kilos> hi Squirm 
[10:41] <superfly> inetpro: eish, you confusing the man agfain
[10:41] <superfly> *again
[10:42] <Kilos> tell him superfly 
[10:42] <Kilos> hehe
[10:42] <Kilos> he does it on purpose
[10:42] <superfly> Kilos: Alt Gr is just the right-hand alt key. on very old keyboards it didn't exist, and newer ones called it "AltGr" nowadays all keyboards have two alt keys, so they don't call the other one AltGr anymore.
[10:42] <Kilos> then sits and smirks
[10:43] <Kilos> oh ty so i can bring my other keyboard back. this ones keys are too small
[10:44]  * Kilos throws a wet fish at inetpro 
[10:45] <Kilos> a vrot one
[10:59] <Kilos> gotta be a vrot one otherwise he will just get fat on it
[11:05]  * inetpro catches the fish and launches it back to Kilos
[11:05] <inetpro> Kilos: where are your notes from previous installations?
[11:05] <psyatw> hi inetpro 
[11:05] <psyatw> hi Kilos 
[11:05] <inetpro> surely you have gone through this?
[11:05] <Kilos> all over but this doesnt apply
[11:06] <inetpro> hi psyatw
[11:06] <Kilos> the others had options button for setting keys
[11:06] <Kilos> hi psyatw 
[11:06] <Kilos> i gotta go eaT
[11:06] <inetpro> ai!
[11:07] <Kilos> ai! this kb
[11:07] <Kilos> wat ai! jy nou
[11:07] <Kilos> ek sukkel darem met my volk
[11:07] <inetpro> you blame me when you should blame yourself
[11:08] <Kilos> nono
[11:08] <inetpro> Kilos: what are we even talking about, kde or normal ubuntu?
[11:08] <Kilos> unity thats why i asked fly. if the options button was there
[11:09] <Kilos> then i would have installed kubuntu-desktop
[11:09] <Kilos> hehe
[11:09] <inetpro> the fly is not using unity
[11:10] <inetpro> and what version of unity/ubuntu?
[11:13] <betabertus8899> hey guys can i install office 2013 in ubuntu yet?
[11:14] <betabertus8899> if not how do i install office 2010?
[11:19] <inetpro> betabertus8899: why would you ever want to do that when MS doesn't want you to do it?
[11:24] <betabertus8899> i need to complete work for university in ms format
[11:24] <betabertus8899> if i work in libre will the result be good?
[11:25] <betabertus8899> especially with excel and financial documents?
[11:27] <Kilos> 14.04 ubuntu inetpro 
[11:28] <Kilos> hi betabertus8899 
[11:28] <Kilos> hang around somwone will answer you as soon as he gets a break
[11:30] <Kilos> test existing office documents in libreoffice and you will see what it can do i think
[11:34] <inetpro> betabertus8899: it is really sad if universities in this day and age still expect work to be submitted in ms format when that is not an ISO standard
[11:34] <inetpro> obviously depending on whether it is a MS course
[11:34] <betabertus8899> hey yea bro
[11:35] <betabertus8899> no it's not
[11:35] <betabertus8899> just want to submit with all values working 
[11:35] <Kilos> working on your machine or on someone else windows machine?
[11:36] <Kilos> if you have time then experiment
[11:37] <inetpro> if I absolutely have to use MS Office I normally use it on a remote machine
[11:38] <smile> sudo apt-get install libreoffice :p
[11:38] <inetpro> running windows on a VM is also an option but I never go there
[11:38] <inetpro> LO should be installed by default
[11:38] <Kilos> yip comes installed
[11:39] <inetpro> it's very rare that I need MS
[11:48] <betabertus8899> my machine
[11:49] <Kilos> well if its going to be viewed on your machine then libreoffice should be fine
[11:49] <betabertus8899> i have ms office 2013 on a dual boot ubuntu 13.10 v windows 8.1 system. 
[11:50] <betabertus8899> but would like to go with ubuntu only, hence the install for ms office 2013 in ubuntu also
[11:50] <betabertus8899> i love linux now, windows is just lacking in the most basic ways!
[11:50] <Kilos> well if you have both then you can play around lekker
[11:51] <Kilos> im not an office user but mine opens all windows documents i get just fine
[11:51] <Kilos> if you would prefer to use ubuntu then do it and only go win if you fail to do something
[11:55] <betabertus8899> yep 
[11:55] <betabertus8899> what do you use?
[11:56] <betabertus8899> libre?
[11:56] <betabertus8899> or open office?
[11:56] <Kilos> libre when i need to do something
[11:57] <Kilos> the easiest is to try get a document that is similar to what you want to do and open it with libreoffice and see
[11:57] <betabertus8899> ok
[11:58] <betabertus8899> does libre office docs open in word?
[11:58] <betabertus8899> ms office i mean
[11:58] <betabertus8899> like if i wrote in libre and  save, will office open that?
[11:58] <Kilos> lol i dunno about all that stuff. i just use what is installed to open things
[11:59] <betabertus8899> ok
[11:59] <Kilos> you need expert advice from someone that does lotsa office stuff
[12:00] <Kilos> maybe superfly can point you in the right direction
[12:00] <Kilos> the prob is you gotta be patient here as the guys are busy, so experiment while you wait
[12:02] <Kilos> and see what google has to say about it
[12:02] <Kilos> what type of document do you want to make?
[12:07] <ThatGraemeGuy> betabertus8899: I have not done so but you might have luck with Office running under Wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17336
[12:08] <ThatGraemeGuy> also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1885051 and http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/06/how-to-install-microsoft-office-suite-2010-in-ubuntu-12-04-using-wine-1-5/

[18:50] <Kilos> hmm...
[18:50] <betabertus8899> haha don't know bro

[18:51] <betabertus8899> you mean with software updater yea?
[18:51] <Kilos> with command line
[18:51] <Kilos> instead of apt-get
[18:52] <Kilos> i like aptitude it sorts other probs out for you
[18:52] <betabertus8899> whats the command plz
[18:52] <Kilos> sudo apt-get install aptitude
[18:53] <Kilos> then try sudo aptitude reinstall thunderbird
[18:53] <betabertus8899> ok cool bro
[18:53] <Kilos> and it will tell you if there is stuff to remove
[18:53] <betabertus8899> clearly your pro compared to me
[18:53] <Kilos> im too old to be a bro
[18:53] <Kilos> hehe
[18:54] <betabertus8899> this is my second day on linux so yea

[18:55] <betabertus8899> noob
[18:55] <Kilos> have you done those commands?
[18:55] <betabertus8899> almost done
[18:55] <Kilos> we all start as noobs and some never get past it like me
[18:56] <Kilos> the guys hide here when they see me sukkeling
[18:56] <betabertus8899> ok have ran it
[18:56] <betabertus8899> lets test
[18:56] <Kilos> ok lets just see something
[18:56] <Kilos> wait
[18:56] <Kilos> sudo apt-get update
[18:58] <Kilos> when aptitude is installing or reinstalling apps watch what it shows
[18:58] <betabertus8899> done
[18:59] <betabertus8899> looks like all works
[18:59] <betabertus8899> with the commands you gave
[18:59] <Kilos> ok sudo aptitude upgrade
[19:00] <betabertus8899> yes done
[19:00] <Kilos> did it want to fetch anything?
[19:03] <Kilos> are you here using your browser or an irc client
[19:05] <betabertus8899> xchat 
[19:05] <betabertus8899> irc client
[19:05] <Kilos> ok
[19:06] <betabertus8899> this the best way?
[19:06] <Kilos> yes i use xchat too but on 14.04 it didnt have sound so im on hexchat
[19:07] <Kilos> if your system does funny things after working fine run this command
[19:07] <Kilos> sudo touch /forcefsck
[19:08] <Kilos> and when you reboot it will do a file system check
[19:20] <betabertus8899> nothing happens
[19:20] <Kilos> with what?
[19:20] <Kilos> inetpro, fix it
[19:22] <Trixar_za> force fsck
[19:22] <Trixar_za> oh dear
[19:23] <Kilos> too rough Trixar_za 
[19:23] <Kilos> i use it all the time
[19:23] <Kilos> but i have disabled boot splash so i see it doing things
[19:26] <Kilos> especially after power cuts, then it fixes lots of orpan inodes
[19:28] <Kilos> Trixar_za, talk to me
[19:29] <Trixar_za> Yes? Oo
[19:30] <Kilos> you said force fsck not lekker?
[19:32] <betabertus8899> no nothing happend
[19:33] <Kilos> maybe it did it in hiding
[19:33] <Kilos> hehe
[19:33] <Kilos> you dont see text when booting hey?
[19:33] <betabertus8899> the trixar command plz
[19:34] <Kilos> he was just commenting on the force fsck
[19:34] <betabertus8899> ok
[19:34] <Kilos> some guys dont like it
[19:35] <Kilos> anyway is your thunderbird still sick?
[19:35] <betabertus8899> anyway the thunderbird double sent still there just sent a test mail
[19:35] <Kilos> eish
[19:36] <betabertus8899> yea what other mail client is good for linux?
[19:36] <Kilos> i use evolution but others say its old fashioned
[19:36] <Kilos> if you want to try it the command is
[19:37] <Kilos> sudo aptitude install evolution
[19:37] <Kilos> i use it with pop so it only fetches new mails
[19:37] <betabertus8899> ok
[19:38] <betabertus8899> i tried it but very laggy
[19:38] <betabertus8899> i want like very light
[19:38] <Kilos> peeps say its a bit heavy
[19:38] <betabertus8899> geary looks good, but no signature
[19:38] <Kilos> but works ok for me and has the option of making its own backup so you dont lose contacts etc
[19:39] <betabertus8899> and i use this for buisness
[19:39] <betabertus8899> ok cool
[19:39] <Kilos> most peeps use thunderbird nowadays but i didnt like it
[19:41] <Kilos> not_found, hi there why you okes not helping me here
[19:42] <Kilos> i lead new peeps astray
[19:42] <Kilos> teach them old fashioned blou draad en tang ways
[19:44] <Kilos> betabertus8899, if you wait 3 days you cab get the new ubuntu
[19:44] <Kilos> 14.04 releases on the 17th
[19:44] <Kilos> and its a long term support os
[19:45] <Kilos> s/cab/can
[20:04] <betabertus8899> yeah 14.04 will hopefully be super awesome
[20:04] <betabertus8899> would be wise just to wait a month before jumping... all the bugs will be gone
[20:04] <Kilos> i didnt like 13.10 so stayed on 12.04 then got 14.04 2 weeks ago
[20:04] <Kilos> very lekker
[20:05] <betabertus8899> how is the beta?
[20:05] <betabertus8899> good?
[20:05] <Kilos> its very stable already
[20:05] <betabertus8899> ok
[20:05] <Kilos> i prefer it to 12.04
[20:06] <betabertus8899> do you use any firewall or anti-virus?
[20:06] <Kilos> kinda same but smoother
[20:06] <Kilos> gufw
[20:06] <Kilos> sudo aptitude install gufw
[20:06] <Kilos> no antivirus
[20:07] <Kilos> you can install the antivirus for checking emails so you dont pass virii to the next windows user
[20:08] <Kilos> do you have synaptic installed?
[20:08] <Kilos> synaptic is a package manager where you can see everything thats installed and what is available
[20:09] <Kilos> the antivirus is called clamtk
[20:09] <Kilos> but we dont need it
[20:09] <betabertus8899> clamtk
[20:09] <betabertus8899> ?
[20:11] <Kilos> yes clamtk is our antivirus
[20:11] <Kilos> clamav is without the gui
[20:11] <Kilos> but its for checking mails mainly
[20:12] <Kilos> windows virii dont affect us
[20:18] <betabertus8899> ok
[20:18] <betabertus8899> what else should i install?
[20:18] <Kilos> um
[20:19] <not_found> sorry uncle Kilos was in bed since 8 (6 sa time) only up now cause blood sugar dropped and having some food
[20:19] <Kilos> you chat on msn and so?
