[09:45] Hello? [09:46] I would like to know some things about xubuntu. [09:46] 1. What version of xfce does it run? [09:47] 2. Can it install debs? [09:47] 3. What is the *buntu package manager like? [09:47] 4. Does it automount? [09:48] 5. Does it have an AMD64 edition? [09:49] 6. 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. [09:50] (I can't check hardware specifically because my dads friend took it to repair the motherboard). [09:50] *I mean the drivers would not compile from source, they existed though. [09:50] 7. What kernel version does it run? [09:51] ki: 1. 4.4beta2 (depending on xubuntu's version) [09:51] ki: 1. yes, doulbe-click in Thunar [09:51] oh thats good :) as long as it is above 4.2 [09:51] ki: 3. Synaptic, Aptutude, apt [09:51] what? double click in thunar? what? [09:52] Thunar is the default filemanager and double-clicking on a deb installs it [09:52] 3. how many packages do they have and do they auto-resolve dependencies? [09:52] oh thats cool! installs it wizard style? [09:52] hey, I can still do apt-get in terminal, right? Like how I can do port install in freebsd? [09:52] and wizard style like PBI installer? [09:53] it's a nice dialog telling you e.g. description, dependencies and more [09:53] apt-get works as well, yes [09:53] so it doesn't autoresolve dependencies, but it tells me dependencies at least so I can get them? [09:53] it tries to get them automatically [09:53] sorry I have so many questions. [09:53] :) [09:54] 4. Thunar does that I think [09:54] 5. i believe so [09:54] oh good :) [09:55] 7. Edgy: 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP [09:55] what 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] Edgy? sounds very debian :). [09:55] xffm is a whole suite of utilities, Thunar is only a filemanager === echosystm [n=echosyst@dsl-203-113-236-74.SA.netspace.net.au] has joined #xubuntu [09:56] 2.6.17? DAMN!

[09:56] Edgy Eft is Xubuntu 6.1 [09:56] okay :) [09:56] Xubuntu sounds very ubuntu just without gnome. [09:56] but thats okay, I like the look of gnome but xfce is better. [09:56] it's still ubuntu of course [09:57] xfce is more standards and less bloated [09:57] compiling kernel is possible [09:57] hey, is there a way to put shortcuts on desktop with xfce? I find the background sort of...useless. [09:57] yes [09:57] is it easy though? can I just open update manager and bam, or atleast download through a package manager? [09:58] you meaning kernel compiling? there is a package for that, I'm not sure what exactly is in there [09:58] didn't do it for some time === kalikiana|rejoin is now known as kalikiana [10:01] okay.

[10:05] xgl works fine depending on the gfx card, for me (ati9800) it's fine [10:06] easyubuntu is one GUI tool which install non-free things [10:06] but it's not from canonical directly [10:06] what I mean is, is the update manager good? and does it install mp3 playback when you install like suse? === rag [n=rag@58.Red-80-24-33.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #xubuntu [10:07] the updatemanager is fine (although i personally use synaptic for about everything) [10:07] or you have to get easy ubuntu, search for mp3, dvd, 3d driver and so on then install individually and manually? [10:07] what filesystem does it use? [10:08] repos do include non-free but easyubuntu helps you set drivers up [10:08] filesystem is ext3 by default [10:08] nice. [10:08] man, don't you get that infos from the web? :P [10:09] I can I suppose. [10:09] just thought it would be easier if you were willing :) [10:10] also manpages don't answer most questions.
