| Ben64 | lets see... 24x read speed on dvd-r | 04:35 |
| cfhowlett | "I should own this channel ..." remark earned his spot on my /ignore. | 04:35 |
| lotuspsychje | the root purpose is very weird sometimes | 04:35 |
| Ben64 | 24*1.3 = 31.2MB/s maximum sequential | 04:35 |

| l0tusgarden5 | Just got Ubuntu Gnome | 05:05 |
| l0tusgarden5 | I couldn't install Fedora | 05:05 |
| lotuspsychje | l0tusgarden5: welcome to the ubuntu experience | 05:05 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Hi | 05:06 |
| cfhowlett | l0tusgarden5, better way to learn ubuntu: read. www.fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads. start with #0, read , #1, read ... | 05:06 |
| l0tusgarden5 | I wanted Fedora but I do like Ubuntu Gnome so far... I think I'll stick with it until I'm more familiar with Linux in general and then try another distro | 05:06 |
| cfhowlett | !manual | l0tusgarden5 also worth reading | 05:06 |
| ubot5` | l0tusgarden5 also worth reading: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 05:06 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Ahhh, thank you for ze tip | 05:07 |
| l0tusgarden5 | @cfhowlett, do you have any resources on getting the hang of the terminal? | 05:08 |
| cfhowlett | already sent them. FCM has a long-running series on command line fu | 05:09 |
| l0tusgarden5 | oh, well, thanks. Yes, I'm lookin' @ it | 05:09 |
| l0tusgarden5 | looking at the "beta issue" | 05:09 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Thank youuuuu | 05:09 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! | 05:09 |
| l0tusgarden5 | cfhowlett, well, this may be getting ahead of things but do you have a favorite distro and/or one that you recommend for total noobz | 05:10 |
| lotuspsychje | l0tusgarden5: your in an ubuntu channel here, so many also use ubuntu flavors | 05:11 |
| cfhowlett | l0tusgarden5, I use ubuntustudio. if you READ and experiment, you'll learn quickly. if you break and then must repair your system, you'll learn even faster. | 05:11 |
| lotuspsychje | mine would be trusty 14.04 LTS | 05:11 |
| cfhowlett | LTS +111 | 05:11 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Thank you :) | 05:13 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Hmmm, LTS....googlin' that right....now... | 05:13 |
| lotuspsychje | !14.04 | 05:13 |
| ubot5` | Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu and is the latest !LTS version. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ - CHECK FOR POINT RELEASES at http://releases.ubuntu.com - Release Info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes | 05:13 |
| cfhowlett | !LTS | l0tusgarden5 | 05:14 |
| ubot5` | l0tusgarden5: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) | 05:14 |
| l0tusgarden5 | (serious) question: is ubot5 a "real" user or a bot that discerns certain questions and things being said and sorta chimes in? | 05:14 |
| l0tusgarden5 | (hopefully it's not an offensive question ubot5!) | 05:15 |
| cfhowlett | l0tusgarden5, bot. triggered if you know the right questions. but do feel free to say "thanks ubottu" | 05:15 |
| l0tusgarden5 | cool, gotcha. mini turing test ongoing... ha | 05:16 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Thansk cfhowlett | 05:16 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! | 05:16 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Ok, new question. So Trusty Tahr, Long Term Support, I see... seems cool and I JUST installed Gnome so I'm not too attached to it. If I get this new image and try to install it will it open a new partition? Or will it "recognize" that there's another linux distro and prompt me to choose whether to nuke/replace that one etc? | 05:18 |
| lotuspsychje | l0tusgarden5: type lsb_release in your terminal plz | 05:19 |
| lotuspsychje | lsb_release -a sorry | 05:20 |
| l0tusgarden5 | I have vivid vervet | 05:20 |
| l0tusgarden5 | 15.04... | 05:20 |
| lotuspsychje | ok l0tusgarden5 so you have chosen a non-lts version | 05:21 |
| cfhowlett | l0tusgarden5, 1. you do not have LTS. 2. you can install LTS 3. use the same partitions you have presently | 05:21 |
| lotuspsychje | l0tusgarden5: you can choose to upgrade every 9 months or choose an LTS supported 5 years | 05:21 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Gotcha. Is there a terminal command I can use to install Trusty Tahr or should I just download the desktop image and go from there with USB + unebootin | 05:22 |
| cfhowlett | l0tusgarden5, torrent the .iso, make a bootable usb and boot up | 05:23 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Cool. Ok. THANKS SO MUCH for your time and answers! | 05:23 |
| cfhowlett | be safe. have fun. | 05:24 |
| l0tusgarden5 | I wish I had bits of bitcoin to sprinkle on u | 05:24 |
| cfhowlett | yeah, I might have to set one up. | 05:24 |
| l0tusgarden5 | lol | 05:24 |
| lotuspsychje | l0tusgarden5: after you chosen LTS you can go to all flavors also | 05:25 |
| lotuspsychje | !flavors | 05:25 |
| ubot5` | !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 05:25 |
| l0tusgarden5 | well I'm out. Thank you all for ur time/answers (cfhowlett, lotuspsychje, ubott) | 05:26 |
| lotuspsychje | come again if you need stuff | 05:26 |
| l0tusgarden5 | I'll b backk..... | 05:26 |
| lordievader | Good morning | 07:02 |
| l0tusgarden5 | Made it back! | 07:37 |
| l0tusgarden5 | I'm now on Ubuntu LTS | 07:38 |
| l0tusgarden5 | yay hooray | 07:38 |
| cfhowlett | !yay | 07:38 |
| ubot5` | Glad you made it! :-) | 07:38 |
| l0tusgarden5 | thanks to some of the folks in this here chat space | 07:38 |
| l0tusgarden5 | oh, hey, cfhowlett, still here! | 07:38 |
| daftykins | ah yet another WD drive to post off today | 09:47 |
| daftykins | only a single bad sector, but such is warranty :D | 09:47 |
| cfhowlett | ey?? | 09:47 |
| daftykins | just gotta go somewhere with a printer to do the labels :) | 09:47 |
| daftykins | reminds me, i should really come up with a plan for my old RAID disks, 6 x 1TB which are just sat inside my server doing nothing :D | 09:49 |
| daftykins | been spinning for 6 years though, so they'll probably die soon | 09:49 |
| daftykins | aww the excitement was too much for cfhowlett :( | 09:52 |
