| ObrienDave | dave is fine, just don't call me late for dinner ;P | 00:05 |
| wilsonjl3 | uhm...i need skype and Chrome | 00:05 |
| ObrienDave | ok, open a terminal copy and paste => sudo apt-get install skype | 00:06 |
| ObrienDave | or open Software Center and search for skype | 00:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh thats cool | 00:07 |
| ObrienDave | you'll have to enter your password either way | 00:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | but it cant find skype :/ | 00:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | yeah | 00:07 |
| ObrienDave | hang on | 00:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay :) | 00:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | i downloaded chrome off of mozilla for Xubuntu/linux, is that ok? | 00:08 |
| ObrienDave | ok, open a terminal copy and paste => sudo apt-get install skype-bin | 00:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | or should i have done the software centre | 00:09 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: it may work, but better use the software center | 00:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | can't find that either :/ | 00:09 |
| ObrienDave | yes, lets go through Software Center for now. easier on the noobies ;P | 00:09 |
| Unit193 | !partner | 00:09 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 00:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok so what do i do with the chrome i just downloaded? | 00:10 |
| ObrienDave | nothing yet ;P | 00:10 |
| wilsonjl3 | lol ok | 00:10 |
| wilsonjl3 | i'll just try the software centre | 00:11 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: if you find chrome in software center, then ignore the file you downloaded. | 00:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay | 00:11 |
| ObrienDave | you still need to add the canonical partner repo to find the package | 00:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | how do i do that? O.o | 00:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | idek what that is tbh | 00:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | no, google chrome isnt there | 00:12 |
| wilsonjl3 | neither is skype | 00:12 |
| ObrienDave | Unit193 sent you the instructions. read up ^^ | 00:12 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok, i saw that, but what do i do? i dunno what a canonical partner is, or what a repo is | 00:13 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: it is also possible to add partner repo with the gui. do you have "software sources" in the systems menu or in a menu in software center? | 00:13 |
| ObrienDave | repo is short for repository | 00:13 |
| wilsonjl3 | no i don't David-A | 00:14 |
| ObrienDave | canonical is responsible for Ubuntu and its "flavors" Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, etc | 00:14 |
| wilsonjl3 | so...i put skype's Partner in where it says partner? | 00:15 |
| wilsonjl3 | ugh so confused | 00:16 |
| ObrienDave | no, copy and paste the command including sudo from the ubottu instruction into your terminal | 00:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh | 00:16 |
| ObrienDave | you've only been at this a few minutes, relax. you'll learn | 00:16 |
| ObrienDave | sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | 00:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | how do i copy in xubuntu? :p | 00:18 |
| ObrienDave | ctrl-c and paste ctrl-v just like windows | 00:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | not letting me paste into the terminal | 00:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | just gonna type it out | 00:19 |
| ObrienDave | right click near the prompt | 00:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | ohhh | 00:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok what did it do/ | 00:20 |
| ObrienDave | that command added the repo to your sources list, now, MOST important.... | 00:21 |
| ObrienDave | sudo apt-get update | 00:21 |
| ObrienDave | ALWAYS run update after adding repos | 00:22 |
| ObrienDave | when that's done.... | 00:23 |
| ObrienDave | sudo apt-get install skype-bin | 00:23 |

| David-A | wilsonjl3: ... or search for skype in software center | 00:25 |

| wilsonjl3 | haha well i dont have too much on my comp. im a carpenter and electrician so i dont rly need this for anything important or job-related | 00:43 |

| ObrienDave | hmmm, check the connection icon again and see if "enable wi-fi" is checked | 01:01 |
| wilsonjl3 | yep it is | 01:02 |

| wilsonjl3 | yeah im using it on my phone right now | 01:03 |
| ObrienDave | umm, what do you n=mean? | 01:03 |
| ObrienDave | *mean? | 01:03 |

| wilsonjl3 | yeah its on | 01:03 |
| wilsonjl3 | thought you were wonderine modem was on :Pg if th | 01:04 |
| wilsonjl3 | thought you were wondering if the modem was on* | 01:04 |
| ObrienDave | no, your wi-fi switch on the computer ;P | 01:04 |
| wilsonjl3 | is there a way to turn off the clicking when i touch the trackpad? | 01:04 |
| ObrienDave | umm, somewhere in sound settings i assume | 01:05 |
| wilsonjl3 | no | 01:05 |
| wilsonjl3 | when i touch the trackpad its like when i leftclick a mouse | 01:05 |
| ObrienDave | hmm, not sure, are you using both mouse and trackpad? | 01:06 |
| wilsonjl3 | no just trackpad | 01:06 |
| wilsonjl3 | found it | 01:07 |
| ObrienDave | ok, i don;t know where click sound is coming from. you sure you're not hitting a left button? | 01:07 |
| wilsonjl3 | no its not a sound :P | 01:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | i meant it was actualy clicking | 01:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | selecting stuff | 01:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | left-clicking | 01:08 |
| ObrienDave | gotcha | 01:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | :P | 01:08 |
| ObrienDave | i hate track pads, mine is disabled | 01:08 |
| ObrienDave | brb | 01:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok | 01:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | xubuntu is fast | 01:10 |
| ObrienDave | ok, next? | 01:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | uhm... | 01:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | i dunno, what else would i need? | 01:20 |
| ObrienDave | oh i suggest going to software center and installing synaptic package manager | 01:21 |
| ObrienDave | most everything you need for now is available in software center. explore that for a while | 01:22 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay, what is it? | 01:22 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay i will | 01:22 |
| ObrienDave | synaptic is just another way of installing packages | 01:22 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: there are many ways to install a package from the repos. 1) the software center, 2) apt-get in the terminal, and 3) synaptic | 01:23 |
| ObrienDave | like any OS there are multiple way of accomplishing the same thing | 01:23 |
| ObrienDave | *ways | 01:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | mmkay | 01:24 |
| ObrienDave | i actually like Gdebi for .deb files | 01:24 |
| ObrienDave | oh, may i recommend HexChat instead of Xchat. it's newer and well maintained. | 01:26 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay :) | 01:27 |
| ObrienDave | Deluge for torrents | 01:27 |
| ObrienDave | LibreOffice for a free office suite | 01:28 |
| wilsonjl3 | office suite? | 01:28 |
| ObrienDave | word, excel, powerpoint, no outlook | 01:29 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh ok | 01:29 |
| ObrienDave | LibreOffice reads and writes M$ Office files | 01:29 |
| Unit193 | Thunderbird with addons, or Evo without addons can be like outlook. | 01:29 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 01:30 |
| ObrienDave | Thunderbird is the default Email client | 01:30 |
| wilsonjl3 | i use outlook for emails... | 01:31 |
| wilsonjl3 | is there a way to set that up? | 01:31 |
| ObrienDave | not directly but there are many Email programs that are like outlook | 01:31 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok | 01:32 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: Unit193 gave 2 examples of email programs 3 minutes ago | 01:32 |
| wilsonjl3 | yes | 01:32 |
| wilsonjl3 | but i was wondering if i could use outlook as is | 01:32 |
| ObrienDave | actually OpenOffice Calc was the first spreadsheet to support more than 1,000,000 rows | 01:33 |
| ObrienDave | not sure if it will run under WINE | 01:33 |
| Unit193 | !appdb | 01:33 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 01:33 |
| Unit193 | I'd recommend native, but nevertheless. | 01:33 |
| ObrienDave | always better to go with a native app. WINE as a last resort | 01:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay | 01:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | i gotta go, need to sleep, work in the morning. | 01:35 |
| ObrienDave | ok, well, welcome to the wonderful world of Linux, please ask anytime you have questions ;)) | 01:36 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: for email, wordprocessing, everything else, try the programs that exist in the software center (the repos), don't think you must use exactly the same programs you have used in windows | 01:36 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha okay, thank you guys for all the help :D you guys are awesome | 01:36 |
| ObrienDave | we try ;P | 01:36 |
| wilsonjl3 | and okay, i will david-a | 01:36 |

| === AntiSpamMeta_ is now known as AntiSpamMeta | ||
| nikolam | yeah baizon , but applications only provide .png icons Huh, maybe .png is not supported in xfce? | 06:36 |

| Unit193 | nikolam: They do. | 06:37 |
| nikolam | well not for me, on 14.04 updated from 13.10 | 06:38 |
| nikolam | like everything is saying to me "you should reinstall, 13.10 update was broken" | 06:40 |
| Unit193 | nikolam: Is it full path or single file? And, is the desktop file correctly pointing to it if full path? You do seem to have a few strange issues, yes. | 06:41 |

| wilsonjl3 | hey, i was wondering if its possible to transfer Xubuntu from one flash drive directly to another? | 18:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | can i just transfer the files or should i re-download it? | 18:16 |
| genii | wilsonjl3: If the drives are identical size you can just use dd | 18:18 |
| wilsonjl3 | dd? | 18:18 |
| genii | wilsonjl3: for example if original is /dev/sdb and one you want to copy it to is /dev sdc, you would do: sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc | 18:19 |
| genii | ( on a linux system) | 18:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | ya im usiing xubuntu | 18:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | so i just put the name of the usb thing in for sdc and sdb? | 18:20 |

| wilsonjl3 | can i copy the OS directly off the hard drive to the other usb? | 18:22 |
| wilsonjl3 | no just one | 18:22 |
| genii | wilsonjl3: The drive designations may be different than what I gave, it will be specific to your system. To find out which is which, have none plugged in. Then plug the first one, and do: dmesg | tail ...in there will be what drive it is. then plug second one in and same thing. | 18:22 |
| genii | ( these instructions assume you are not running your system off the usb stick) | 18:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | yeah its on my hard drive | 18:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok one is sdc(the one i want the stuff on) and the other is sdc1(the one i want it off of) | 18:25 |
| genii | Those are the same drive, just different partitions | 18:28 |
| genii | wilsonjl3: Drives are like: sdc sdd and so on. Partitons of the same drive are like sdc1 sdc2 and so on. | 18:29 |
| doubleplusgood | run : sudo fdisk -l ,it will list your disks and partitions.s | 18:29 |
| wilsonjl3 | -l command wasnt found | 18:30 |
| wilsonjl3 | and oh | 18:30 |
| doubleplusgood | ' -l ' is an option for the command ' fdisk ' | 18:31 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh i did fdisks, oops | 18:32 |
| wilsonjl3 | only one | 18:33 |
| doubleplusgood | Can you paste the output on paste.ubuntu.com ? | 18:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | im so new to this | 18:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | yep one sec | 18:34 |
| doubleplusgood | Don't worry, it gets easier. Can't learn until you try right? | 18:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | i guess so | 18:35 |
| * genii makes a fresh pot of coffee | 18:35 | |
| wilsonjl3 | http://pastebin.com/DaJzS2m7 (this is with both usb drives plugged in, should i take them out?) | 18:35 |
| genii | No, leave them in | 18:36 |
| doubleplusgood | No this is good | 18:36 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok | 18:36 |
| genii | wilsonjl3: Can you also pastebin the result of just: mount | 18:37 |
| wilsonjl3 | http://pastebin.com/vnSfk69H here you go | 18:38 |
| wilsonjl3 | is that ok? | 18:41 |
| doubleplusgood | run: 'sudo umount /media/wilsonjl3/11A3-B01A; sudo umount /media/wilsonjl3/KINGPIG' | 18:41 |
| genii | Sorry for lag, at work here | 18:41 |
| wilsonjl3 | whats that gonna do? | 18:41 |
| genii | wilsonjl3: That will remove the drives from the file system so that you can copy them directly to each other | 18:42 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok i did that | 18:42 |
| genii | Do you recall which one had the stuff you wanted? Was it 11A3-B01A or was it KINGPIG ? | 18:43 |
| wilsonjl3 | kingpig :P it's an angry birds pig | 18:43 |
| genii | wilsonjl3: So in this case to issue: sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc ... and then go grab a coffee | 18:44 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha how long is it gonna take? | 18:45 |
| doubleplusgood | A while, copying bit by bit. | 18:45 |
| wilsonjl3 | heh okay, no problem | 18:45 |
| wilsonjl3 | uhm | 18:45 |
| wilsonjl3 | its not doing anything i think | 18:45 |
| doubleplusgood | No output is good | 18:48 |
| wilsonjl3 | should it be doing something in the window? | 18:48 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh okay | 18:48 |
| genii | wilsonjl3: It will just chug a while :) You'll know when it's done when the command prompt returns. | 18:49 |
| wilsonjl3 | oke, thank you :) | 18:50 |
| wilsonjl3 | can i play a game while it installs or should i leave the comp alone till its done? :p | 18:50 |
| genii | You can do any other thing you want, it will not affect the copy | 18:51 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay :) | 18:51 |
| genii | That is one thing dd could benefit from, a progress indicator. | 18:53 |
| wilsonjl3 | or even just something saying something like : "copying, do not remove usb drive" | 18:55 |
| wilsonjl3 | just so you know its actualy doing something | 18:55 |
| genii | Hm, yes. Although if they have activity lights on the sticks they should be going on and off like mad | 18:56 |
| doubleplusgood | I'm sure it would end up braking someone's workflow. | 18:57 |
| wilsonjl3 | ya mine dont :P | 18:57 |
| wilsonjl3 | cheap things | 18:57 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh do i need an antivirus for xubuntu? | 19:04 |
| doubleplusgood | Nope, just make sure you mainly use the offical repos | 19:05 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay :) | 19:06 |
| wilsonjl3 | is there a way to move that bar that goes across the top to the side? | 19:10 |
| doubleplusgood | Yeah, right click on the bar and goto properties | 19:11 |
| doubleplusgood | I don't have a Xubuntu box in front of me ATM, let me grab one... | 19:12 |
| wilsonjl3 | it says style: (dropdown box here) | 19:13 |
| wilsonjl3 | and a checkbox with expand in it | 19:13 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh i found it | 19:14 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok so the prompt popped up again, it should be copied now? | 19:16 |
| doubleplusgood | Yeah | 19:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | how do i remount them? | 19:17 |
| doubleplusgood | Right click, Pannel > Pannel Preferences > Mode > Vertical | 19:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | sudo mount /media/wilsonjl3/11A3-B01A; sudo mount /media/wilsonjl3/KINGPIG | 19:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | ? | 19:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | yeah i found it :3 | 19:17 |
| doubleplusgood | I think Thunar (the file manager) will do it | 19:18 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay | 19:19 |
| doubleplusgood | Just unplug and replug them | 19:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | that wont corrupt the data or anything? | 19:19 |
| doubleplusgood | As long as they are umounted you're fine. | 19:20 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay | 19:20 |
| nikolam | how to make skype working on 64bit? | 19:20 |
| nikolam | I used to preload some libs, but it soed not work anymore | 19:20 |
| nikolam | right question is: how to make skype working with webcam on 64bit? | 19:21 |
| wilsonjl3 | it works fine for me... | 19:22 |
| doubleplusgood | nikolam: It won't install? | 19:22 |
| doubleplusgood | nikolam: Try going to Setttings > Software & Updates and make sure all the sources are enabled | 19:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | is there a way to rename the flash drive? | 19:27 |
| nikolam | I used to preload some libs, but it soed not work anymore | 19:29 |
| nikolam | doubleplusgood, I installed it, sorry, but webcam does not work on 64 bit before 32bit libraries are preloaded | 19:29 |
| nikolam | and it used to work like that but not anymore 14.04 | 19:29 |
| doubleplusgood | wisonjl3: I think you can use ' gparted ' to rename it. | 19:30 |
| wilsonjl3 | is that a program? | 19:30 |
| doubleplusgood | nikolam: Hmm, do you know what libs are missing? | 19:31 |
| doubleplusgood | wisonjl3: Yup | 19:31 |
| nikolam | doubleplusgood, because it used to work before when preload them | 19:31 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I have a problem with my software updater: it is downloading unsupported updates, and I don't know if that is helping me or is a security risk | 19:32 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Also, I don't recall ever enabling unsupported updates | 19:32 |
| doubleplusgood | wisonjl3: ' sudo apt-get install gparted ' and ' sudo gparted ' then right click on the flash drive you want to rename and choose ' Label ' | 19:32 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I tried resolving this problem in the ubuntu channel, and they asked me to get screen shots, but I had problems posting them until now | 19:33 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: you can also install gparted via the software center, and then start it from the systems menu. | 19:34 |
| doubleplusgood | SamwiseGamgee: Unsupported means that if it doesn't function correctly, it's not Cononical's fault. Not really a security risk, mainly a stabillity one | 19:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok thanks | 19:35 |
| doubleplusgood | nikolam: One second and I'll try testing it on my install | 19:35 |
| wilsonjl3 | both of you | 19:35 |
| SamwiseGamgee | But why do I even need unsupported updates? | 19:35 |
| SamwiseGamgee | all the apps I am using should be supported, as far as I know | 19:36 |
| SamwiseGamgee | and how come I never noticed before that I have been downloading unsupported updates? | 19:36 |
| nikolam | I used to do this: #!/bin/bash Exec=env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv41/v411compat.so /usr/bin/skype | 19:37 |
| === ochosi_ is now known as ochosi | ||
| SamwiseGamgee | If I disable downloading of unsupported updates, will some of my apps start causing problems? Or is it safer to leave them? | 19:38 |
| SamwiseGamgee | It just seems that I am doing too many updates too often, updates which are hogging a lot of memory | 19:39 |
| doubleplusgood | SamwiseGamgee: You could try setting up updates to be less frequent | 19:40 |
| SamwiseGamgee | but I was told I should update as oftenn as possible for security reasons | 19:41 |
| doubleplusgood | nikolam: Sorry for the delay, trying to find those libs | 19:52 |
| doubleplusgood | SanwiseGamgee: Disabling 'unsupported' should be fine if you don't have any pkgs from 'unsupported' | 19:53 |
| doubleplusgood | nikolam: Seems to work fine for me :/ | 20:06 |
| doubleplusgood | SamwiseGamgee: Do you have specific security concerns? | 20:08 |
| SamwiseGamgee | ubuntu guys said I don't have to worry about the unsupported updates for security | 20:09 |
| SamwiseGamgee | ubuntu experts from ubuntu channel solved my problem | 20:26 |
| wilsonjl3 | hey guys, why cant i watch netflix on my comp? :P | 20:31 |
| wilsonjl3 | do i need to download something? | 20:31 |
| doubleplusgood | Netflix uses Sliverlight which is properitary. You can install ' pipelight ' to get around it. | 20:33 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay | 20:33 |
| wilsonjl3 | thanks again good :D | 20:33 |
| doubleplusgood | There are a couple tutorials on the web on how to do it | 20:34 |
| wilsonjl3 | hey, uhm...how do i download pipelight? | 20:35 |
| wilsonjl3 | i cant find it on the software centre | 20:35 |
| doubleplusgood | There are a couple tutorials on the web on how to do it, let me find one | 20:35 |
| doubleplusgood | http://itsfoss.com/netflix-ubuntu-1404-desktop-app/ | 20:36 |
| genii | There's also a PPA | 20:37 |
| doubleplusgood | That one worked for me last time | 20:37 |
| doubleplusgood | It's going through wine so there is a performance hit, but it does work. | 20:37 |
| genii | Yup | 20:37 |
| wilsonjl3 | i like this step-by-step stuff :p | 20:41 |
| doubleplusgood | wilsonjl3: Yeah they can be pretty helpful | 20:45 |
| wilsonjl3 | whats wine? | 20:47 |
| wilsonjl3 | meant to ask that but keep forgetting | 20:47 |
| doubleplusgood | wilsonjl3: A program thar translates Windows APIs to ones Linux can understand. | 20:48 |
| wilsonjl3 | ohhh | 20:48 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay | 20:48 |
| doubleplusgood | wilsonjl3: it's sorta like an emulator but not | 20:49 |
| wilsonjl3 | mmm, i understand | 20:49 |
| genii | wilsonjl3: The name itself is sort of a joke to that effect: Wine Is Not an Emulator | 20:52 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh! | 20:53 |
| wilsonjl3 | lol i get it | 20:53 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: no, it is impossible to get it for anyone, since it is an infinite loop | 20:53 |
| wilsonjl3 | what | 20:54 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: same with GNU, is is short for GNU is Not Unix, also an infinite loop and hence impossible for the brain to fully comprehend | 20:54 |
| ali1234 | GNU is a pun on "new" | 20:55 |
| wilsonjl3 | i dont comprehend 99% of what you are saying right now :P | 20:55 |
| ali1234 | quite easy to understand really | 20:55 |
| wilsonjl3 | https://www.google.ca/search?q=wut&es_sm=93&tbm=isch&imgil=-vIdWl_CcxXKfM%253A%253Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fencrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com%252Fimages%253Fq%253Dtbn%253AANd9GcQidtNsmCJJPQkYA6952wyZTRGWxkXYWIWHJgPRHP73RasEGk5U%253B604%253B404%253BBLat1KL5Zw9tlM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fdawgpoundnation.com%25252F2014%25252F06%25252F11%25252Ffck-steelers-fans%25252Fwut-babka%25252F&source=iu&usg=__W1bXYorqQfaUwOlOxlZfQEE6P0E%3D&sa=X&ei=EDjIU_W_H8GdyAT2voDID | 20:55 |

| wilsonjl3 | that was longer than i though | 20:55 |
| wilsonjl3 | sorry | 20:55 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: the infinite loop part? | 20:56 |
| wilsonjl3 | yes lol | 20:56 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: when a definition explains an abbrev using the abbrev in the definition, you are in a sense back to where you started. both GNU and WINE use the apprev in the expansion of the abbrev. | 20:57 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh okay | 20:57 |
| wilsonjl3 | i understand it now | 20:57 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: so it is impossible to fully grasp what GNU and WINE really stands for | 20:58 |
| wilsonjl3 | i meant that i understand why its impossible to understand :P | 20:59 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: that is an understanding on a higher level. (or lower, I dont know) | 21:00 |
| genii | Hehe | 21:00 |
| wilsonjl3 | -.- you are confusing me again :P | 21:02 |
| wilsonjl3 | dont explain it | 21:02 |
| wilsonjl3 | is there a mixer/equalizer appp/program/software that can be downloaded that you guys know of? | 22:10 |
| wilsonjl3 | for xubuntu 14.04 | 22:10 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: do you just want to mix a few sound files and/or apply filters and/or adjust levels to a sound file? or do you want to mix multiple sound files and/or midi-files, and maybe even while playing midi instruments in real time? | 22:13 |
| wilsonjl3 | uhm...on windows 8/my android there is an equalizer thing for when im listening to music and it has thingies that slide up and down :P i dont remember what its supposed to be called | 22:14 |
| wilsonjl3 | its to adjust the levels on all audio going out the speakers i guess | 22:15 |
| wilsonjl3 | do you know what i mean? | 22:15 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: you want a musik player with an equaliser? audacious has that. | 22:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay :) | 22:16 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: (maybe the equaliser only works for mp3 and not for wav. I am not sure about the current state) | 22:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh no, i dont mean just for that, it is to adjust sound levels on ALL audio that comes out the speakers (audio output?) | 22:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | that=my music btw | 22:17 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: there are about the square root of a thousand music players in the repos. install them all and try them out, see what you like. | 22:18 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok | 22:19 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: all sounds from all programs would eventually go throu the mixer. you want an equalizer in the mixer? to compensate for room acoustics or the like? | 22:23 |
| wilsonjl3 | yes | 22:24 |
| David-A | wilsonjl3: I don't know about it, but google suggests there have been equalizer plugins for sound systems in ubuntu. | 22:26 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay, ill see what i can find | 22:27 |
| wilsonjl3 | thanks | 22:27 |
| xuboo | Hello | 23:02 |
| xuboo | I'm having problem getting sound card to work on my xubuntu install | 23:02 |

| wilsonjl3 | maybbeeee | 23:46 |
| ObrienDave | ok, sec | 23:47 |
| ObrienDave | btw, how are you liking Xubuntu so far? | 23:48 |
| wilsonjl3 | hard to use :P i dunno how to use terminal or anything so i think im missing out on alot of stuff | 23:49 |
| wilsonjl3 | well i know how to USE it, but i dunno any commands or how they will be useful and stuff like that | 23:49 |
| ObrienDave | give it time, you'll catch on. i've only been at it 3 years | 23:50 |
| ObrienDave | baby steps ;P | 23:50 |
| wilsonjl3 | O.o | 23:50 |
| wilsonjl3 | only 3 years? | 23:50 |
| ObrienDave | at Linux, 1st programming clas, 1971 ;P | 23:50 |
| ObrienDave | *class | 23:51 |
| wilsonjl3 | O.o | 23:51 |
| wilsonjl3 | wow | 23:51 |

| wilsonjl3 | you sure? :p | 23:54 |
| wilsonjl3 | nvm i dont even know what i WOULD do here :P | 23:54 |
| ObrienDave | ok, this is your next lesson... | 23:55 |
| ObrienDave | what you're looking at is called a PPA | 23:55 |
| ObrienDave | Personal Package Archive | 23:56 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok | 23:56 |
| ObrienDave | this is how you get packages that are not included in the official repos | 23:56 |
| wilsonjl3 | arent the ones not included unsafe? | 23:57 |
| wilsonjl3 | (thats what i was told) | 23:57 |
| ObrienDave | well, you do have to be careful and if you trust me, i'll show you how to add this one. ask in Ubuntu main if you have any doubts about a certain PPA | 23:58 |
| wilsonjl3 | i trust you | 23:58 |
| ObrienDave | thanks, it's appreciated | 23:58 |
| abanabee7 | Hello, I am not sure where to go with an issue I am having in Xubuntu. Maybe you guys can help | 23:59 |
| wilsonjl3 | no problem :) | 23:59 |
| ObrienDave | anyway, under "add this PPA" you'll see ppa:ehoover/compholio | 23:59 |
| ObrienDave | that is the address of the PPA | 23:59 |
| wilsonjl3 | yes | 23:59 |
