Exetel customer help forum

a further question: is it possible to specify the exetel mirror to update ubuntu software, rather than a default 'server for australia', or chosen third party service? also, is there some kind of list i can subscribe to to hear about what's happening with the mirror? i had no idea exetel operated an...

thanks a lot. this appears to be working much better after using the gui method. it's all ign and hit now.

and i guess my original question has been answered! thanks for your help

i have attempted to add the one for jaunty, and add the key. this is what happened after i executed the key command: this is my terminal window: karlos@betsy:~$ sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [sudo] password for ...

hi i think this must have been where i've fallen over-in the adding of the repository. i'm not sure i really understand what the page is asking me to do. do i: a) execute in the terminal the "Any Ubuntu Release and keyring" only? or as well as b) Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope? (which is the version ...

can anyone recommend a place to get ubuntu assistance that isn't the impenetrable and unwieldy ubuntu forums? specifically i'm having trouble with repositories - i'm not sure they are working or updating properly and downloading update lists. when the list flashes as it downloads, i'm seeing a lot o...

45 mins away in fairfield? hah

i have had this before. i got around it by disabling everything in the boot order except the system drive. never did find the cause or a better fix....

if these kids are out of control online, then try monitoring their usage yourselves. the internet is not a babysitter.

what is the end date for the trial?

clearly a lot of people replying aren't reading anyone else's replies, as if they did they'd soon realise automated scheduling is your friend. initially i didn't like the idea, but now i think it'll make almost no difference to me. i worry that it will mean early afternoon browsing will be slower as...

i'm not really after ripping software per se as i already have some that works ok - but the irony that i will have to rip some highly protected dvds to merely watch them them is not lost on me.

thanks again for your help

thanks for your help - this has been the most frustrating thing! but the most frustrating part is it seems now that the dvd i was trying to play has some kind of super protection death ray attached to it. i have tried two other dvds, one with no encryption (bang-worked straight away) and a dvd i kne...

this is the closest i could find to my issue (though it still doesn't get it quite right). http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=50283 they go on to say that "vlc doesnt work like powerdvd". it seems i have been mislead about this program. is it or is it not media playing software? it seems...

i just did a complete remove of vlc (including config files) and reinstalled via the command line suggested in the ubuntu help - absolutely no difference whatsoever. why would the program simply just kill itself? is there logging i can turn on? i havent been able to find any helpful looking referenc...
