| Jester45 | can you make a menu with only html? or html + css ? | 04:07 |
| Jester45 | a menu that i just add the name and link | 04:07 |
| kalikiana | sure, but html would be pretty ugly :P | 04:08 |
| Jester45 | right now i have .jpg with a link if you click | 04:08 |
| Jester45 | not the best way to add things | 04:08 |
| Jester45 | o | 04:09 |
| kalikiana | imho pure css is always better than images | 04:09 |
| Jester45 | and i see a lot of dhtml menu howtos | 04:09 |
| kalikiana | you might pick an example from e.g. cssplay.co.uk if you want | 04:09 |
| Jester45 | and they say you need javascript so would that mean i need to add anything special to apache? | 04:10 |
| kalikiana | i would not use any javascript if possible | 04:10 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, apache doesn't have anything to do with that at all, it's only the browser | 04:10 |
| Jester45 | just wondering | 04:10 |
| Jester45 | a got a weak server computer to run my site | 04:11 |
| Jester45 | and i dont wanna add much more to it | 04:11 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, look at these http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/index.html | 04:11 |
| kalikiana | if you put css in a file it's only loaded once and it's usually less traffic than images | 04:12 |
| Jester45 | i know about css but the javascript | 04:12 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, you don't need any | 04:13 |
| Jester45 | ok | 04:13 |
| Jester45 | im looking around ccplay | 04:13 |

| Jester45 | is my choice | 04:26 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, there should be minor differences, i'll look... | 04:26 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, no difference, that will pass as html4 just fine :) | 04:28 |
| Jester45 | so paSTE it at the top? | 04:28 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, yes, insert it anywhere in the body, just where you like | 04:29 |
| Jester45 | ok | 04:29 |
| Jester45 | and | 04:29 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, but a) put the css in a second file | 04:29 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, and b) looks like it uses a hack which won't work in ie7 anymore | 04:29 |
| Jester45 | i have a css sheet for the styles can i just all their css to it | 04:29 |
| Jester45 | i dont care | 04:29 |
| kalikiana | i think so | 04:30 |
| Jester45 | i have ff on usb | 04:30 |
| kalikiana | ok, if ie doesn't matter you can actually strip the css blocks beginning with * html | 04:30 |
| kalikiana | saves you some traffic | 04:31 |
| Jester45 | k | 04:31 |
| Jester45 | http://jesteris.boldlygoingnowhere.org/index2_withmenu.html | 04:32 |
| Jester45 | doesnt look right | 04:32 |

| Jester45 | didnt link css | 04:32 |
| Jester45 | ok its working now | 04:33 |

| Jester45 | the logo is messed up but im working on that at school | 04:37 |
| Jester45 | can i make the xhtml in a 2nd file? | 04:38 |
| Jester45 | its kinda messing up my html and would be better becuase all the pages would loook the same | 04:39 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, the menu code is fine html4 | 04:39 |
| Jester45 | yes but its ugly in my editor | 04:39 |
| Jester45 | its a page long | 04:40 |
| kalikiana | you can really optimize by using only tiny images for the menu background | 04:40 |
| kalikiana | just remove some line breaks after the </span> tags | 04:41 |
| kalikiana | or do <span class="lk">link</span> in one line | 04:41 |
| Jester45 | i like bash script better | 04:42 |
| Jester45 | its cleaner | 04:42 |
| kalikiana | Jester45, i can agree here - i'd say you can't really compare script and markup | 04:44 |
| kalikiana | s/can/can't | 04:44 |
| Jester45 | i can | 04:44 |
| Jester45 | really wish cellofellow would make my site for me | 04:44 |
| Jester45 | :) | 04:45 |
| Jester45 | i dont mind scripting because it lets you see it as you create and its more usefull | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | i wish i could find a nice gui html maker | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | be like a paint program but with no brushes | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | many of the ones i tried have a graph like placement | 04:47 |
| kalikiana | arg, gui html is...... nothing good in my opinion. :/ | 04:47 |
| kalikiana | i think it's just a matter of being used to it. | 04:48 |
| kalikiana | you can of course use a color picker and code at the same time. | 04:48 |

| kalikiana | _Dez, hi | 05:31 |
| _Dez | Whats up | 05:32 |
| Jester45 | did that send? | 05:34 |
| kalikiana | yummy chicken in the oven :P | 05:34 |
| Jester45 | guess not | 05:35 |
| kalikiana | ? | 05:35 |
| Jester45 | if you read the comments you get to Worth arguing? (neutral), well i have the same idea why not combine them as an example: Azureus, works nice "out-of-the-box" but you can customize it much more but as not to overwhelm a new comer to torrenting there is 3 levels of options basic, intermediate, and advance. Basic is just that the basic things like ports and where to save data | 05:35 |
| Jester45 | , intermediate is more advance but still mostly just about making rules on how much of what how long if this then this and etc, and the advance is advance its includes the MaximumLineTransmissionUnit and other advance things. now think of this your new you don't know what a port is and you get slapped with 10,000 options and you don't understand any of them | 05:35 |
| Jester45 | so you decide aa this is to much i'm gonna use the default or a different client... as you can guess this itsnt the best thing to do and becuase there are so many options they dont know where to start now think of this example as in KDE and GNOME. GNOME is a simpler and | 05:35 |
| Jester45 | more easily used by new users and is customizeable but its hard unless you can add code to it and thats like going from basic -> advance. On the otherhand, KDE has many options they are fine defaults but users would love to have "just so" but they arenot sure where to start. as for GNOME this is harder to make but for KDE they could do what az has done have layers of options so you can say... i dont know much about networking so im | 05:36 |
| Jester45 | ok | 05:36 |
| Jester45 | i typed to much :) | 05:36 |
| kalikiana | wow, a strict op might feel the urge to ban you now ;) | 05:37 |
| Jester45 | lol | 05:37 |
| Jester45 | i typed all that | 05:37 |
| Jester45 | didnt think it was that much | 05:37 |
| Jester45 | and irc so no!!! to much | 05:38 |
| Jester45 | thats my standpoint on GNOME vs KDE | 05:38 |
| Jester45 | i should CC that :) allmost a book | 05:38 |
| kalikiana | would fit nicely on a blog in case you have one... | 05:39 |
| Jester45 | lol | 05:39 |
| Jester45 | i tried | 05:39 |
| kalikiana | imho kde's amount of settings is really overwhelming | 05:39 |
| Jester45 | but i dont wanna run sql on the old machine | 05:39 |
| Jester45 | thats why the settings levels would be nice | 05:39 |
| Jester45 | and it wouldnt be that hard to code for somone that know how | 05:40 |
| kalikiana | yeah, if it is done right the levels sound nice | 05:40 |
| Jester45 | just a little bit like {type}[level] | 05:40 |
| Jester45 | or something | 05:40 |
| kalikiana | honestly I don't think that most coders out there know/care enough about usability | 05:40 |
| kalikiana | and linus did an amazing action to prove that :D | 05:41 |
| Jester45 | it wouldnt be hard just a lot of word | 05:41 |
| Jester45 | work | 05:41 |
| kalikiana | not hard, but one would have to *care* about that | 05:41 |
| Jester45 | and it would be a simple tree like thing | 05:42 |
| Jester45 | you could set the whole system to a level or just a part of it | 05:42 |
| kalikiana | it's rather a matter of thinking than coding. although i'm not sure if that should be done system-wide. | 05:42 |
| kalikiana | i wouldn't like to have five difficultiy levels for mousepad :P | 05:43 |
| Jester45 | like a level1 display could be color and a theme or somthing of the like | 05:43 |
| Jester45 | well.. | 05:43 |
| Jester45 | the people that make it would onyl add lvl 2 or 1 things | 05:43 |
| Jester45 | depending on how hard they think it should be | 05:43 |
| Jester45 | 1 being brand new users | 05:43 |
| kalikiana | yeah, the themes dialog could use some 'go advanced' button imo | 05:44 |
| kalikiana | you can't even change single colors | 05:44 |
| Jester45 | well even with that its only 2 levels basicand advance | 05:44 |
| kalikiana | for the themes dialog two or three levels might suffice | 05:44 |
| Jester45 | but a system wide thing could be hard to implement | 05:45 |
| kalikiana | the torrent application with five levels is more reasonable | 05:45 |
| Jester45 | and the good thing about it is that you could catigorize it | 05:45 |
| Jester45 | like my self i know lots about torrents but not much about display | 05:45 |
| kalikiana | system-wide is not nessessary at all, especially if you have a different number of levels | 05:45 |
| Jester45 | i find az lacking in default options as in the advance options | 05:46 |
| Jester45 | thats the one problem | 05:46 |
| Jester45 | a system wide would make porting harder and many programers might make the lvl 3 options a lvl 1 so the users think it has more options | 05:47 |
| Jester45 | and building from source would be diffrent becuase a kubuntu install is diffrent from others | 05:48 |
| === icicled [n=joncfoo@adsl-209-30-83-96.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| kalikiana | as long as settings dialogs share common semantics you don't need a system-specific settings interface | 05:48 |
| Jester45 | its just a thought | 05:48 |
| kalikiana | the latter is part of what makes kde bloated to me | 05:48 |
| Jester45 | and i think that gnome would have a hard time | 05:48 |
| Jester45 | they would 1) make the options 2) make the levels | 05:49 |
| kalikiana | not sure what you mean.. imho a tight system integration is rather bad | 05:50 |
| Jester45 | why | 05:51 |
| kalikiana | you can see that with many gtk apps being gnome-dependant although they shouldn'T be | 05:51 |
| Jester45 | o | 05:51 |
| Jester45 | well have a --level-off option | 05:51 |

| jdrake | Has anyone ever ran xubuntu straight off of a CF card? What might be required to do such a thing without having a harddrive? (how much memory and such) | 05:52 |
| Jester45 | not that much the same as a live cd or even less | 05:53 |
| Jester45 | i would say 100mb of ram would run it | 05:53 |
| _Dez | Yup | 05:53 |
| Jester45 | 128 would be nice and 256 would be useable | 05:53 |
| _Dez | or even less then that | 05:53 |
| _Dez | Ive ran xubuntu off a CF Card in my Nano-ITX Box | 05:54 |
| _Dez | 1Ghz 64Mb of ram | 05:54 |
| Jester45 | i think under a 100 starts becoming slow if its a gui | 05:54 |
| Jester45 | no java im guessing :) | 05:54 |
| jdrake | I am just thinking about a future system :p | 05:55 |
| jdrake | My idea would be at least 512mb of ram, probably 1GB. The CF would be unknown. But ideally, I would want something that could essentially run without much writing. Obviously no swap. | 05:56 |
| _Dez | no swap would be great | 05:56 |
| _Dez | i run no swap on this box | 05:56 |
| jdrake | I would think any flash could be killed eventually if it was for swap purposes. | 05:57 |
| _Dez | 1.13Ghz,1GB Ram, 30GB 5200RPM,blahblah | 05:57 |
| jdrake | I would like to see intel put out a decent chip that uses little power, and combine it with a gpu that is similarily light | 05:57 |
| jdrake | I have definitely grown attached to xfce | 05:57 |
| jdrake | I need a good music program though, banshee is a little heavyt | 05:58 |
| kalikiana | i have 1gb ram, no swap at all, should even work for 512mb i guess | 05:58 |

| jdrake | banshee runs 15 to 30% cpu to decode an mp3 | 05:58 |

| _Dez | my ram usage never gets higher then 400 too | 05:59 |

| jdrake | Swap: 1453808k total, 0k used, 1453808k free, 395416k cached | 05:59 |
| jdrake | CF might have problems here though: /dev/md0 total 111G used 5.6G free 99G used 6% / | 06:00 |
| _Dez | lol | 06:00 |
| kalikiana | honestly, I wonder why I was happy when I got 1gb ram for the price of 512mb :P | 06:00 |
| _Dez | how do i get specs like that jdrake? | 06:00 |
| jdrake | _Dez, $600 or so | 06:00 |
| _Dez | no i ment in terminal | 06:01 |
| jdrake | df -h | 06:01 |
| jdrake | but i added 'total', 'used', etc. | 06:01 |
| jdrake | To save a line | 06:01 |
| kalikiana | so $600 including formatting by jdrake :P | 06:01 |
| jdrake | No, if I were doing it, $800 + shipping | 06:01 |
| _Dez | lol | 06:01 |
| jdrake | This thing cost me $1200 including monitor about 2 years ago | 06:02 |
| _Dez | lol | 06:02 |
| jdrake | I expect to at least use it for another 3 years, possibly 5. | 06:02 |
| _Dez | Im the Tech Admin at school and i run 2 21" Dell monitors as mains | 06:02 |

| jdrake | You seem to be overly concerned with their resolution | 06:40 |
| Jester45 | i ahte low res background pics | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | hate* | 06:41 |
| jdrake | Do you have something that can actually display it? | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | yes | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | my moniter | 06:41 |
| jdrake | What kind of beast do you have? | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | lol | 06:42 |
| Jester45 | i bet my tv can also | 06:42 |
| jdrake | not likely | 06:42 |
| Jester45 | wide screen lcd | 06:42 |
| Jester45 | 42inch i think | 06:42 |
| jdrake | The pixel density is probably horrible | 06:43 |
| jdrake | 1080i is probably the best it can do | 06:43 |

| jdrake | Either way, it would be overkill | 06:44 |
| Jester45 | well i dont use it much | 06:45 |
| jdrake | I will never likely buy a beast like that myself | 06:45 |
| jdrake | A little too much opportunity cost to it | 06:45 |
| Jester45 | i wont | 06:45 |

| jdrake | I haven't been noticing as many updates that I was noticing with gnome. | 06:49 |
| reklipz_ | hey guys, i asked this in the #ubuntu channel, but I'm wondering if ill notice any speed increase when switching from ubuntu to xubuntu on my 1.4GHz centrino with 128MB PC2700 DDRRAM | 06:49 |
| jdrake | reklipz_, chances are 'yes', but you would get more benefit from more ram, 128mb is really too low. | 06:49 |
| Jester45 | yes i agree | 06:50 |
| reklipz_ | jdrake, ya, but DDR for a lappy is really expensive, and is prolly worth more than i bought the laptop for | 06:50 |
| jdrake | reklipz_, what is the model number of the laptop and brand? | 06:50 |
| Jester45 | gnome uses much more ram than xfce but you woudl get the most speed from a littlre more ram | 06:50 |
| reklipz_ | i was running beryl, but took that off and noticed a bit of an increase when creating windows | 06:50 |
| jdrake | ahem | 06:51 |
| reklipz_ | jdrake, its a Gateway 200ARC | 06:51 |
| jdrake | http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=200+Series+%28DDR%29 | 06:52 |
| jdrake | 512mb should be $54, presuming this is right model | 06:52 |
| Cybane | this is disheartening Ubuntu is going to drop PPC as an offical release | 06:53 |
| jdrake | Cybane, why is that? | 06:53 |
| jdrake | There is no mass market anymore and limited number of users have it now. | 06:54 |
| jdrake | There is nothing stopping somebody from stepping up to the plate to provide it | 06:54 |
| === reklipz_ [n=reklipz@ip72-198-197-221.om.om.cox.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Jester45 | i think its because ppc is harder and has more problems | 06:54 |
| PuMpErNiCkEl | They are providing it. They're just not providing support. | 06:54 |
| reklipz_ | jdrake, sorry, battery died | 06:55 |
| Cybane | I do not know why they are going to drop it just read about it | 06:55 |
| jdrake | http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=200+Series+%28DDR%29 | 06:55 |
| jdrake | 512mb should be $54, presuming this is right model | 06:55 |
| reklipz_ | its a Gateway 200ARC | 06:55 |
| PuMpErNiCkEl | They're only dropping commercial support. | 06:55 |
| jdrake | Which makes it a non-issue anyways | 06:55 |
| reklipz_ | hmm | 06:55 |
| reklipz_ | well, ive got a desktop with a 1.4GHz p4 and 512MB ram, and it handles ubuntu with compiz like a breeze | 06:56 |
| Cybane | The only reason why I can see them doing that is because apple went the way of x86 arch | 06:56 |
| jdrake | ReKlipz, your laptop will not do as well. | 06:56 |
| reklipz_ | you think ill get the same performance? | 06:56 |
| reklipz_ | ok | 06:56 |
| reklipz_ | =( | 06:56 |
| PuMpErNiCkEl | I'd say it's more because no one was buying support anyway. | 06:56 |
| jdrake | You will get better mind you | 06:56 |
| jdrake | 128mb to 512mb that i did many years ago was a load of difference | 06:56 |
| reklipz_ | well, im supposedly getting a new laptop with my scholarship, so i may wait until then to upgrade, but in the meantime, xubuntu is still a good idea? | 06:57 |
| jdrake | But in the shortterm, installing xubuntu is a great idea | 06:57 |
| reklipz_ | thanks alot for that link btw, really appreciate it | 06:57 |
| jdrake | no problem | 06:57 |
| reklipz_ | jdrake, will i get better results if i download the install cd for xubuntu, or would apt-getting xubuntu-desktop have the same effect? | 06:58 |
| jdrake | Same thing | 06:58 |
| reklipz_ | like, would apt-get leave some nasties from ubuntu behind? | 06:58 |
| jdrake | Use aptitude though instead of apt-get | 06:58 |
| Jester45 | yes | 06:58 |
| jdrake | There should be nothing wrong with them both being there | 06:58 |
| reklipz_ | and how would i get rid of those nasties though? | 06:59 |
| Jester45 | jdrake: it runs a LITTLE slower | 06:59 |
| reklipz_ | or is it just ubuntu-desktop | 06:59 |
| jdrake | Make sure you install a2ps though, xfprint requires it | 06:59 |
| reklipz_ | a2ps... | 06:59 |
| Jester45 | just make sure you turn off all gnome libs at startup | 06:59 |
| reklipz_ | Jester45, how do i make sure of that? | 06:59 |
| Jester45 | app2 print system? | 06:59 |
| Jester45 | settings --> sessions and start up | 07:00 |
| Jester45 | then advance tab | 07:00 |
| jdrake | ReKlipz, theoretically if you aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop, it should notice everything else was installed as a dependancy and try to remove it (with a prompt) | 07:01 |
| reklipz_ | jdrake, k gonna do that now | 07:01 |
| reklipz_ | if im not back soon, take me for dead | 07:01 |
| reklipz_ | promise me, ok? | 07:01 |
| jdrake | You are already dead, | 07:01 |
| reklipz_ | =) | 07:02 |
| jdrake | Take back your life when you finish battle | 07:02 |
| reklipz_ | dig it | 07:02 |
| jdrake | Install irssi :p | 07:02 |
| reklipz_ | back in a few | 07:02 |
| jdrake | then connect in a terminal | 07:02 |
| reklipz_ | but i wanan be dead! | 07:02 |
| reklipz_ | gawd | 07:02 |
| reklipz_ | k, im out | 07:02 |
| reklipz_ | back later | 07:02 |
| jdrake | I won't be :p | 07:02 |
| reklipz_ | ... | 07:02 |
| jdrake | hmm, for the last two days, clicking a drive icon on the desktop does not bring up the folder | 07:03 |
| jdrake | It seems I can un mount it then it works properly | 07:04 |
| jdrake | xfmedia uses a fraction of the cpu that banshee does | 07:31 |

| pampa | hi | 02:12 |
| pampa | i already had installed a console based xubuntu in my notebook | 02:13 |
| hyper_ch | hi | 02:13 |
| pampa | now i would like to install xfce | 02:13 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 02:13 |
| pampa | ok, i'll try | 02:14 |
| hyper_ch | why didn't you directly install xubuntu? | 02:14 |
| pampa | i have tryed sudo apt-get install xfce4-panel | 02:14 |
| tonyb2006 | when I made a .desktop launcher for thunderbird, when I click it it just opens the .desktop files in a text editor | 02:14 |
| pampa | but it ask me for the cdrom... | 02:14 |
| hyper_ch | better to use sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop | 02:14 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: ok, we will need to cancel out the cd repository | 02:15 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: you know how to get along in the command line interface? | 02:15 |
| tonyb2006 | and if you understand "comment out the line that has CD in it in /etc/apt/sources.list" do it | 02:15 |
| pampa | hyper_ch, because every time i try to install directly xubuntu it just freezes on configuring anthy or something like that... | 02:15 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: did you use the live-cd? | 02:15 |
| pampa | hyper_ch, almost | 02:15 |
| pampa | yeap | 02:16 |
| pampa | i have the feisty fawn herd 2 | 02:16 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: better to try the alternate... is there an alternate cd for feisty? | 02:16 |
| pampa | but i installed just the base system because of that tilt with the normal install | 02:16 |
| hyper_ch | tonyb2006: why a launcher on the desktop? | 02:16 |
| pampa | nope | 02:16 |
| pampa | but if it's necesary i will download it | 02:16 |
| tonyb2006 | hyper_ch: Because its for someone that doesnt understand compys totally | 02:17 |
| hyper_ch | tonyb2006: why not in the bar? | 02:17 |
| pampa | hyper_ch, but, i have an internet connection working in xubuntu now... | 02:17 |
| tonyb2006 | because they want it on the desktop? :\ | 02:17 |
| hyper_ch | tonyb2006: never done that on a desktop... I have my top and bottom bar :) | 02:17 |
| pampa | hyper_ch, could i just change the repository to download it from the internet and not from cd? | 02:18 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: there are alternate downloads for feisty | 02:18 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: the xubuntu-desktop will not be exactely the same as if you use a complete xubuntu gui install | 02:18 |
| hyper_ch | and I think you may want to use herd-4 instead of herd2 | 02:18 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: I'd recommend this: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/feisty/herd-4/feisty-alternate-i386.iso | 02:19 |
| hyper_ch | but if you want to have the desktop installed then we can alter your repository | 02:19 |
| pampa | so, youre tellinme to download the alternate feisty fawn herd 2 and try installing the full with that one? | 02:19 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: no, telling you to use herd-4 alternate :) | 02:19 |
| pampa | listen | 02:20 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: the live cd has sometimes problems installing properly... for isntallation the alternate cd is better in my opinion | 02:20 |
| pampa | i forgot that i already have the alternate herd 3.... | 02:20 |
| pampa | yes | 02:20 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: so I recommend getting the latest release (of feisty) which is herd 4 and try the desktop install from the alternate cd | 02:20 |
| pampa | i have downloaded the alternate because of my lowram system config | 02:21 |
| hyper_ch | why do you want to use feisty and not edgy? | 02:21 |
| pampa | i have just 64mb... | 02:21 |
| hyper_ch | oh, 64mb | 02:21 |
| hyper_ch | it'll be slow | 02:21 |
| pampa | yeah? you think? | 02:21 |
| pampa | mmmm | 02:21 |
| pampa | last night i've tryied DSL and it worked pretty fast! | 02:22 |
| hyper_ch | I tend to think so | 02:22 |
| hyper_ch | xubuntu is bloat compared to dsl | 02:22 |
| hyper_ch | however it's lightweight compared to gnome/kde | 02:22 |
| pampa | my notebook has 6gb disk, so there's no prob with swap file | 02:22 |
| pampa | oklisten | 02:22 |
| hyper_ch | what processor have you got? | 02:22 |
| pampa | anyway, in several days i plan to upgrade it's ram to 128 at leats... | 02:23 |
| pampa | celeron coppermine 500mhz | 02:23 |
| hyper_ch | ok, that will improve speed a lot :) | 02:23 |
| hyper_ch | the 128mb | 02:23 |
| pampa | ok | 02:23 |
| pampa | so... | 02:23 |
| hyper_ch | well, if you want to use feisty then go for herd4 | 02:23 |
| pampa | where? | 02:24 |
| hyper_ch | and I did install xubuntu edgy once on a 64mb system with a 240mhz processor | 02:24 |
| pampa | are you tellinme that herd4 would install just right in my system??? | 02:24 |
| hyper_ch | it took a long time to get it installed | 02:24 |
| hyper_ch | Herd 4 Alternate: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/feisty/herd-4/feisty-alternate-i386.iso | 02:24 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: well, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't install | 02:25 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: install will take a long time | 02:25 |

| pampa | yeah | 02:26 |

| hyper_ch | another thing I recommend is to have at least 2-3 CD-RW with 700mb available :) | 02:26 |
| pampa | but herd3 was freezed about 2 hours in the same position two times... | 02:26 |
| hyper_ch | so you don't keep wasting CD-Rs for all of that :) | 02:27 |
| === Laibsc1 is now known as Laibsch | ||
| hyper_ch | pampa: might be a problem with herd3 | 02:27 |
| hyper_ch | I don't know for sure | 02:27 |
| pampa | you think? ok, let's try with herd4 | 02:27 |
| pampa | i'm downloading | 02:27 |
| hyper_ch | well, the one time I installed edgy on that notebook I did let it install during the night | 02:28 |
| hyper_ch | I can't tell how long it took | 02:28 |

| pampa | jaja | 02:29 |
| pampa | tu crees? | 02:29 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: well, I just let it do it over night :) | 02:29 |
| hyper_ch | si :) hablo espaol solamente un poquito | 02:29 |
| pampa | ;) | 02:30 |
| hyper_ch | yeah, the little pieces I know in spanish are also mixed with italian :)= | 02:30 |
| pampa | hyper_ch, hahaha! | 02:31 |
| hyper_ch | solamente --> italian and not spanish... but the spanish one would be somewhat close or I think you understood what I meant to say | 02:32 |
| pampa | well, i would really like to learn italian, it's easier for me because this two languages are pretty similar... | 02:32 |
| pampa | solamente est bien dicho, i think! | 02:32 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: because they are so close to each other it makes it hard for me to distinguish them as neither is mother language | 02:32 |
| pampa | slo, solamente, es lo mismo en espaol | 02:33 |
| hyper_ch | :) | 02:33 |
| pampa | yeap | 02:33 |
| hyper_ch | I like languages :) | 02:33 |
| pampa | in europe there's a lot of languages in very close distances! | 02:34 |
| hyper_ch | and of course my french and latin helps also with italian and spanish :) | 02:34 |
| pampa | wow! | 02:34 |
| hyper_ch | and even with the same language, especially in German, there's the "problem" of the dialects :) | 02:34 |
| hyper_ch | most germans won't understand at first when I talk in my dialect | 02:34 |
| pampa | me too, that's why i would really love to live in europe! to learn alot of languages | 02:35 |
| hyper_ch | btw, you're up early on a saturday :) | 02:35 |
| pampa | hehe | 02:35 |
| pampa | i haven't sleept | 02:35 |
| pampa | 8| | 02:35 |
| hyper_ch | well, you konw english and with your spanish background it shouldn't be all to hard to adapt to italian and a bit harder to french and portuguese | 02:36 |
| === hyper_ch is listening to Hoy by Gloria Estefan on Unwrapped [Amarok] | ||
| pampa | yeah, the secret is that you have to pay attention, you have to love learning other languages... | 02:37 |
| hyper_ch | well, I have never been good at learning languages at school... but I like to communicate with people and for me it was much better speaking to people | 02:38 |
| pampa | that's it | 02:38 |
| hyper_ch | you see I learned a bit of spanish while I did an exchange year in Australia... many of the other exchange students were from South America | 02:38 |
| pampa | the matter is to communicate | 02:38 |
| pampa | oooh look at that! | 02:39 |
| hyper_ch | especially I loved the spanish of Daniela Maria Claudia Prada... she is Columbian... I think she had the most melodious spanish :) | 02:39 |
| pampa | :) | 02:39 |
| hyper_ch | well, all of the S.A. dialects were totally different from the one in Spain... I don't like that one at all.. it's like a staccato | 02:40 |
| pampa | i think you were not obnuvilated by her spanish, either by her beauty!!! :P | 02:40 |
| hyper_ch | maybe both :) | 02:40 |
| pampa | (i had some troubles to make that phrase) | 02:40 |
| hyper_ch | even in argentina you do have different dialect... one of them came from Buenos Aires and the other from San Salvador de Jujuy and it didn't sound the same :) | 02:40 |
| pampa | i really dont know if it's well writed... | 02:41 |
| pampa | jajaja | 02:41 |
| pampa | yeah | 02:41 |
| pampa | look | 02:41 |
| hyper_ch | pampa: I understood what you meant to say :) | 02:41 |
| pampa | now i'm in Cordoba, it's famous by it's particular dialect | 02:41 |
| hyper_ch | I don't know that one :) | 02:42 |
| pampa | it's in the middle center of Argentina | 02:42 |
| hyper_ch | why is the dialect particular? | 02:42 |
| hyper_ch | or rather what makes it particular? | 02:42 |
| pampa | it's dialect is pretty funny for me that i'm from Santa Fe, the neigbourhood province | 02:43 |
| pampa | you have to listen to them :D | 02:43 |
| pampa | hehehe | 02:43 |
| hyper_ch | hehe :) | 02:43 |
| hyper_ch | well, the dialects in Germany/Switzerland/austria are a thing for themselves... | 02:44 |
| hyper_ch | as I have said above most Germans and Austrians wouldn't understand me at first | 02:44 |
| pampa | in my province (Sta Fe) we have a more Buenos Aires's kind... | 02:44 |
| hyper_ch | and I even have problems understanding some dialects in Switzerland | 02:44 |
| hyper_ch | I remember that lovely girl from Buenos Aires :) | 02:44 |

| hyper_ch | well, I learnt that when i wanted to meet at like 7 pm then I say 6:30 | 02:46 |
| hyper_ch | well, if you say you want to meet at some place at some time... they were always late... but I think that's the mentality there :) | 02:47 |
| grazie | pampa: I'm not sure, but I think you anthy problem is just a dictionary install | 02:47 |

| sha1sum | hey all... great stuff you guys have going here... | 05:40 |
| sha1sum | I do have one suggestion for your post-install boot-to-HDD: | 05:41 |
| sha1sum | if the usbhid kernel mod is not set to run at boot, it might be a good idea | 05:41 |
| sha1sum | I just had no input devices ;) ended up having to cold poweroff and plug in a ps2 | 05:42 |
| somerville32 | hehe :) | 05:42 |
| sha1sum | not only this, but I'm also using a USB KVM switch | 05:43 |
| sha1sum | so maybe I was doing stuff on my other system when the hardware detection process was doing its thing | 05:43 |
| sha1sum | not sure how you would prevent these sorts of things, but if it does autodetect USB HID devices to specify the running of the module, maybe some documentation is needed to leave all devices connected to the install machine while it runs | 05:44 |
| === issocabin [i=issocabi@219.148.226.6] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| sha1sum | but in all actuality (as you more than likely know), the usbhid module does not use many resources at all | 05:44 |
| sha1sum | might be a good idea just to default it | 05:45 |

| hyper_ch | ask the local gurus :) | 08:13 |
| jdrake | If it is said that drive defragmentation is not necessary on linux, then wouldn't that statement need to be testable by determining how much fragmentation is on the drive and how said fragmentation impacts performance? | 08:13 |
| Jester45 | jdrake: ?? it impacts it a little but not nearly like windows | 08:14 |

| hyper_ch | jdrake: as long as you have 20% or more free diskspace linux will arrange the files in whole chunks | 08:14 |
| jdrake | I have never personally had a problem I would associate to it, but testable it should be before statements of claim are made. | 08:15 |
| hyper_ch | jdrake: some gurus told me so :) | 08:15 |
| jdrake | ah, appeal to authority :p | 08:15 |
| PuMpErNiCkEl | Works if it's not a false authority. | 08:15 |
| hyper_ch | jdrake: if they know what they are talk about :) | 08:15 |
| jdrake | hyper_ch, non-testable because of unknown people | 08:16 |
| PuMpErNiCkEl | Which, in this case, is mostly true since ext3 is designed to not fragment files. | 08:16 |
| jdrake | I recall fsck used to give info on fragmentation | 08:16 |
| jdrake | It would typically be 0.9% i believe | 08:16 |
| Jester45 | yea thats it | 08:16 |
| Jester45 | i wa trying ckfs | 08:17 |
| jdrake | Could anyone verify that xfmedia freezes if an item in its playlist is suddenly not in the file system location it expected anymore? (say by renaming a directory) | 08:17 |
| Jester45 | jdrake: no i should normaly skip that entry to the playlist | 08:18 |
| Jester45 | it* | 08:18 |
| jdrake | One might think so, but it didn't | 08:18 |

| === Wizaado [n=Wizaado@c-68-35-207-145.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| jdrake | When I mean grow, I mean become less usable on existing systems. | 11:29 |
| jdrake | Software is like a gas, it tends to expand to its container | 11:29 |
| icicled | =] | 11:29 |
| icicled | i'd say it definitely will happen | 11:29 |
| icicled | in general it will | 11:30 |
| slow-motion | n8 | 11:30 |
| icicled | to achieve greater things w/software it becomes more complex | 11:30 |
| icicled | thus needs more cpu/ram/fast hd/etc | 11:30 |
| icicled | but sometimes people just create bad software in general | 11:31 |
| icicled | in python you can create a p2p client in less than 100 lines of code (not very good but you can) | 11:32 |
| icicled | try doing the same in c++ or c | 11:32 |
| icicled | dev. time would be way longer | 11:32 |
| icicled | but the end result you will get something equal to or better | 11:32 |
| icicled | time is a factor nowadays | 11:32 |
| icicled | the thinking is that if you have the resources why not use them | 11:33 |
| icicled | it should be: if you have resources use them efficiently :P | 11:33 |
| icicled | but figuring out how to use it efficiently takes time :P | 11:33 |
| jdrake | icicled, I disagree with the C++/C example. The result could be just as bad or worse easily. | 11:34 |
| icicled | jdrake, it could be yes | 11:34 |
| icicled | in the end you can always blame the user/consumer by saying hey, they wanted it done fast | 11:34 |
| jdrake | In the free software world, the consumer is not always the primary consideration. | 11:34 |
| icicled | yea well, that's what you think :P | 11:35 |
| icicled | think about why ubuntu took off the ground | 11:35 |
| icicled | they made it easier for people to use | 11:35 |
| icicled | its as simple as that | 11:35 |
| jdrake | Definitely, but they primarily use software already written, only a small portion is new. | 11:36 |
| icicled | no doubt, but the glue that makes everything easier to use is whats important | 11:36 |
| jdrake | In that specific case the goal is the person at the end. | 11:37 |
| icicled | a good installer which doesn't make the user feel like a moron (esp if they don't know a lot about computers) | 11:37 |
| icicled | then programs labeled w/simple names like 'music player' or 'video player' | 11:38 |
| icicled | not xmms / xine | 11:38 |
| icicled | all the simple little details are what count | 11:38 |

| icicled | what good would xmms be if the user didn't know wtf it was and what it did | 11:39 |
| icicled | anyway | 11:39 |
| icicled | that's why ubuntu has this quote: 'human experience' (or something like that) | 11:40 |
| jdrake | I have noticed a few bugs in xfmedia, not show stoppers mind you. | 11:40 |
| icicled | bugs are everywhere :) | 11:40 |
