PuMpErNiCkLe!anyone08:10
ubotuA large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?08:10
underpopeI suspect that something I installed through apt-get yesterday is making OpenOffice.org suddenly run really slow (five minutes just to launch -- this is brand new behavior as of today).  Is there anything that might have come through the pipe that might be doing this?08:16
underpopeSorry, that was unclear:  something through apt-get dist-upgrade.08:20
PuMpErNiCkLeNothing I've heard of.  Have you tried running 'top' while launching OOo?  You may get an idea of what's slowing it down, that way.08:21
underpopesoffice.bin is consuming about 14% of the memory; xorg about 4.5%.  There are a couple of xfce processes that come in and out.08:23
PuMpErNiCkLeIs that while it's running, or while it's launching?08:25
underpopeThat's while it's runnin.08:26
PuMpErNiCkLeAnd is there any particular problem with responsiveness while it's running, or just while it's launching?08:29
=== kalikiana|rejoin [n=kalikian@xdsl-87-78-33-133.netcologne.de] has joined #xubuntu
underpopeThere's painfully slow lag time while OOo is running as well.  Lots of disk activity.  It has taken six minutes (so far) to open a brand new document.  I have already tried purging OOo and reinstalling it.08:32
underpopeSorry, forgot to mention: this is Edgy.08:34
TheSheepunderpope: java08:42
PuMpErNiCkLeDoes it make much of a difference if Java usage is enabled/disabled?  (Tools -> options -> openoffice.org -> java)08:42

kiHi guys!09:45
kiHello?09:45
kiI would like to know some things about xubuntu.09:46
ki1. What version of xfce does it run?09:46
ki2.  Can it install debs?09:47
ki3. What is the *buntu package manager like?09:47
ki4. Does it automount?09:47
ki5. Does it have an AMD64 edition?09:48
ki6. Does it support my hardware? Realtek rtl8187 wifi I believe which would not compile from source, nvidia geforce7900 or something, but nvidia isn't usually a problem with linux.09:49
ki(I can't check hardware specifically because my dads friend took it to repair the motherboard).09:50
ki*I mean the drivers would not compile from source, they existed though.09:50
ki7. What kernel version does it run?09:50
kalikiana|rejoinki: 1. 4.4beta2 (depending on xubuntu's version)09:51
kalikiana|rejoinki: 1. yes, doulbe-click in Thunar09:51
kioh thats good :) as long as it is above 4.209:51
kalikiana|rejoinki: 3. Synaptic, Aptutude, apt09:51
kiwhat? double click in thunar? what?09:51
kalikiana|rejoinThunar is the default filemanager and double-clicking on a deb installs it09:52
ki3. how many packages do they have and do they auto-resolve dependencies?09:52
kioh thats cool! installs it wizard style?09:52
kihey, I can still do apt-get in terminal, right? Like how I can do port install in freebsd?09:52
kiand wizard style like PBI installer?09:52
kalikiana|rejoinit's a nice dialog telling you e.g. description, dependencies and more09:53
kalikiana|rejoinapt-get works as well, yes09:53
kiso it doesn't autoresolve dependencies, but it tells me dependencies at least so I can get them?09:53
kalikiana|rejoinit tries to get them automatically09:53
kisorry I have so many questions.09:53
kalikiana|rejoin:)09:53
kalikiana|rejoin4. Thunar does that I think09:54
kalikiana|rejoin5. i believe so09:54
kioh good :)09:54
kalikiana|rejoin7. Edgy: 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP09:55
kiwhat is the difference between thunar and xffm? (only just switched to xfce today, long time kde user and lover who wanted to try something new)09:55
kiEdgy? sounds very debian :).09:55
kalikiana|rejoinxffm is a whole suite of utilities, Thunar is only a filemanager09:55
=== echosystm [n=echosyst@dsl-203-113-236-74.SA.netspace.net.au] has joined #xubuntu
ki2.6.17? DAMN! That means no vmware workstation. Upgrading the kernel isn't a problem right? Some Linux distros won't do it..09:56
kalikiana|rejoinEdgy Eft is Xubuntu 6.109:56
kiokay :)09:56
kiXubuntu sounds very ubuntu just without gnome.09:56
kibut thats okay, I like the look of gnome but xfce is better.09:56
kalikiana|rejoinit's still ubuntu of course09:56
kalikiana|rejoinxfce is more standards and less bloated09:57
kalikiana|rejoincompiling kernel is possible09:57
kihey, is there a way to put shortcuts on desktop with xfce? I find the background sort of...useless.09:57
kalikiana|rejoinyes09:57
kiis it easy though? can I just open update manager and bam, or atleast download through a package manager?09:57
kalikiana|rejoinyou meaning kernel compiling? there is a package for that, I'm not sure what exactly is in there09:58

kiwhat is this easyubuntu?10:05

kalikianaeasyubuntu is one GUI tool which install non-free things10:06

kior you have to get easy ubuntu, search for mp3, dvd, 3d driver and so on then install individually and manually?10:07
kiwhat filesystem does it use?10:07
kalikianarepos do include non-free but easyubuntu helps you set drivers up10:08
kalikianafilesystem is ext3 by default10:08
kinice.10:08
kalikianaman, don't you get that infos from the web? :P10:08
kiI can I suppose.10:09
kijust thought it would be easier if you were willing :)10:09
kialso manpages  don't answer most questions.10:10
kione more thing, can it handle autopackages out of the box?10:10

somerville32That'll set the root partition, yes.06:30
somerville32But first grub needs to find the kernel06:30

hyper_chsomerville32: Maximilian1st: has any of you tried to install vmware on herd 2?09:28

Maximilian1stSo by default there is no support for special accents in the alpha. That is my conclusion. hyper_ch nope, I use a laptop with 512 ram so it's not really the right machine to play with.09:28
Maximilian1stWhen I say no support I mean in Xfce's Terminal, because it works in the normal console. Also, they don't appear in xchat "?" "?" can you see these?09:30
slow-motionn809:30
Maximilian1stI have something special here. If I launch a new Terminal window from within an existing one, I will still not get the accents but... if I launch using root from within an existing Terminal I will have the accents. any clue as to what is wrong?09:33
Maximilian1stsomething to do with the locale? from my user?09:33
Maximilian1stAlso, I confirmed a hang in the booting process with the sk98lin driver. I can also confirm that it won't load when using the restricted modules from the packages, probably due to this driver also.09:35
