sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable
Thanks for the help scout, but I think I'm just going to delete Ubuntu. I tried playing around with the login screen and tried "safe mode," where my old friend the non-working button showed up again and refused to let me get out of safe mode. If I'm going to spend >3 hours just trying to get the OS to do basic things like download software, then it's effectively useless to me. Linux is nice, but I'd rather have an OS that doesn't fight with me [as much].
Ubuntu is the *easiest* Linux to use...
The issue with you is that you might be a bit click-happy, and when you're installing a plugin, you click out of the install dialog, and won't see it ever again until it finishes. I'm thinking you also halted the install too by force quitting it, which may cause more little issues here and there. This is a bug that those guys probably don't care about fixing either - the install window needs to be an "always on top" window, at least with firefox in focus.
It's even worse with sudo from the terminal, since that won't let me even type in the password to verify.
6. You can do IRC with XChat.
Well written tutorial albert!One small addition to number 7. You can also mount FTP/SFTP as a drive through the default file manager (nautilus) which makes it much easier to manage the files etc
Wow, that's an issue? Seems like a rather important thing to fix, considering that OSes are meant to multi-task...Anyway, thanks for the tutorial. I'll give Mint a try
Quote6. You can do IRC with XChat.don't forget about irssi or chatzilla!
you can even edit files directly as long as you maintain a live connection!! O_O_O
Oh, and I accidentally downrated you by trying to click the Quote button, so I rated you up. Consider it my token of appreciation, amplified with an uprate. * alberthrocks wishes there was a neutral button to undo accidental ratedowns/ups...
Chatzilla is OK I suppose, although it's confined within a browser. Theoretically speaking, XChat is like mIRC for Linux, just a tad bit trickier to use and customize.
