[03:34]  * ball watches Ubuntu install
[03:34] <daftykins> hey ball, long time no see
[03:35] <daftykins> how's life? happy new year to you!
[03:35] <ball> Not bad thanks daftykins, yourself?
[03:36] <daftykins> yeah getting by ta :)
[03:36] <daftykins> trying a new version huh?
[03:40] <ball> I probably try Ubuntu about once or twice every year. This time I'm putting it on my daughter's PC though.
[03:40] <daftykins> ah-har
[03:40] <daftykins> 14.10 or 14.04.1 ?
[03:40] <ball> 14.10
[03:40] <daftykins> non-LTS :(
[03:41] <ball> We'll see whether it lasts long enough for lts to make sense ;-)
[03:42] <daftykins> hehe
[03:58] <ball> Looks like the install completed successfully.
[04:01] <ball> It boots too. Time to run some updates.
[04:05] <ball> I'll let that run overnight.

[23:05] <Welshman> Hi everyone using this free chat room. Do have a question as I am new to Ubuntu.
[23:06] <Welshman> Is it possible to include all, or some, of the files of/from c2esp-27.tar.gz with all the files of the iso of Ubuntu to create an new iso using Img Burn?
[23:06] <Welshman> The c2esp-27.tar.gz contains the driver for Kodak ESP C310 all-in-one printer - it makes Ubuntu compatible with that printer and vice versa.
[23:06] <Welshman> Also, it would make life easier, that is, I would not have to install both separately.
[23:08] <daftykins> saw you in the other channel ;)
[23:08] <daftykins> imgburn isn't an ISO manipulation program
[23:13] <Welshman> daftykins: OK. I thought this was a UK only chat room. So, where do you live? I live in Scotland and I am Welsh.
[23:13] <Myrtti> it's pretty difficult to try to restrict the entry to people only from UK
[23:14] <daftykins> sorry i don't see the relevance to where i come from
[23:15] <Welshman> Myrtti: I recognise your nickname. My nickname used to be Mah-jonng.
[23:16] <Myrtti> I'd be surprised if you didn't recognise it, I clocked 10 years on freenode last month and most of it in Ubuntu channels
[23:21] <Welshman> daftykins: OK, again. Also, I would like to know what files from the c2esp-27.tar.gz (all or some) are to be included with the files of the Ubuntu iso to create a new iso. All I know is the c2esp-27.tar.gz does contain the driver for Kodak ESP C310 all-in-one printer which I stated earlier - it makes Ubuntu compatible with that printer and vice versa. It would make life easier, that is, I would not have to install both separately
[23:22] <daftykins> i don't know anything about kodak printers
[23:22] <Welshman> daftykins: But if I have to install c2esp-27.tar.gz separately how do I do it?
[23:23] <daftykins> i thought someone in #ubuntu showed you an alternative package
[23:23] <Welshman> daftykins: If they did then I missed it!
[23:25] <Welshman> Myrtti: Sorry to disturb, but did or have you read any of my messages that I sent to daftykins? If "Yes" then any advice/idea?
[23:26] <daftykins> #ubuntu is publically logged so you could browse back through to see it
[23:26] <daftykins> i'm looking for that message now but it's going to take a moment
[23:26] <daftykins> Welshman: they would reply if they knew. that's how IRC works, don't hassle people individually it's bad netiquette
[23:28] <daftykins> !info printer-driver-c2esp
[23:28] <lubotu3> printer-driver-c2esp (source: c2esp): printer driver for Kodak ESP AiO color inkjet Series. In component main, is optional. Version 27-2 (utopic), package size 31 kB, installed size 157 kB
[23:28] <daftykins> that's what you were shown earlier
[23:33] <Welshman> daftykins: Well, because I am new to Ubuntu I do not understand any of that. But, also, I have decided that from now on I will try things out regarding computing and I will only visit free chat rooms of any computer website when it's really necessary. Fed up of being asked "Why do you want to that?" and "You cannot do that!". Well, you do not know until you try.
[23:35] <Welshman> Maybe I will learn something also.
[23:35] <Welshman> So, I am leaving this room. Thank you for your advice. All the best for 2015 + bye for now.
[23:36] <daftykins> Welshman: well, when we know the intended task we can come up with better approaches usually.
[23:36] <daftykins> just telling us you want to put a driver on an ISO doesn't really make sense from the outset
[23:37] <daftykins> the above is a software package installable from a single command on a clean install of Ubuntu, there's no need to put files on discs
[23:41] <Welshman> daftykins: Well, sorry for saying this, but I am going to try. If Img Burn does not work to create a new iso of Ubuntu then I will search for a free program to do that task. Will only give up after doing a thorough search and when I cannot find any such program. It's about time that I try to do computing things myself - have up to now without anyones help and it is the only way that I am going to learn.
[23:43] <Welshman> Just fed up of others asking me "Why do you want to that?" + saying "You cannot do that!".
[23:43] <daftykins> yeah you can't just reauthor a disc like that i'm afraid
[23:44] <daftykins> install, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install <packages>" - that's how software installation works with Ubuntu
[23:50] <Welshman> daftykins: Thanks. If that is the answer to my original question then thanks. But I still am going to try what I originally thought whether I am successful or not. Also.  I will only visit any free chat room on any computer website when really necessary and after a big search on any 'subject'! That's it I have nothing more to say.
[23:51] <daftykins> er, ok... but don't you think if you get the same response multiple times there might be a reason for that? :)
[23:57] <Welshman> daftykins: Please allow me to provide an example. I used to visit a free chat room of a very popular computer website. About 1 year ago I asked a question of how to run any program from a SD card during boot up before Windows 'loads'. Was told that cannot be done. Well, it can be done because, even though I did not make a note of the website, I recently 'came across' or 'found' the actual procedure when I was not even searching a
[23:58] <daftykins> your message got cut off at "searching a..." due to limits
