| crimsun | pastebin the required info from http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems | 04:34 |
| Sanctusorium | Alright | 04:34 |
| Jester45 | or... take a screwdriver and remove the embeded :) for stilled peoples only | 04:34 |

| tonyyarusso | Nor do I | 04:39 |
| Sanctusorium | Oh yeah, pretty sure it would get annoying | 04:40 |
| crimsun | I love it. I just ignore and go back to reading data sheets. | 04:40 |
| Jester45 | o sounds like fun | 04:44 |

| Jester45 | I've been banned from that server a few times | 04:45 |
| Athensman | can anyone here help me install Xubuntu?? | 04:45 |
| Jester45 | its true | 04:46 |
| Sanctusorium | XD | 04:46 |
| Sanctusorium | Athensman, what do you need help with? | 04:46 |
| Athensman | well i burned it | 04:46 |
| Athensman | and i restarted the computer and it seems to try ti install | 04:46 |
| Athensman | but the screen goes black and all i see is a blinking _ | 04:47 |
| Sanctusorium | Ok, you got the CD in... | 04:47 |
| Athensman | yea | 04:47 |
| Sanctusorium | And you are booting up, correct? | 04:47 |
| Sanctusorium | But | 04:47 |
| Sanctusorium | It wont boot up to the live CD? | 04:47 |
| Athensman | well when i boot up | 04:47 |
| Sanctusorium | You get the black screen? | 04:47 |
| Athensman | i see the circle and what looks like a black dog in teh middle | 04:48 |
| Athensman | and the knight rider looking thingy on the bottom | 04:48 |
| Athensman | and it sits there for about 10 min | 04:48 |
| Athensman | then it goes all black | 04:48 |
| Sanctusorium | Sounds like what Ubuntu did to me. | 04:48 |
| Sanctusorium | Have you tried any other versions of Ubuntu? | 04:48 |
| Sanctusorium | Like Kubuntu? | 04:49 |
| Athensman | no | 04:49 |
| Athensman | what the difference in the 2 | 04:49 |
| Sanctusorium | Hm.. What I would do in your situation... | 04:49 |
| Sanctusorium | 1. Try a new CD. Yours maybe bad. | 04:50 |
| Athensman | i have burnt 2 | 04:50 |
| Sanctusorium | Ok... | 04:50 |
| Athensman | both do the same thing | 04:50 |
| Sanctusorium | If you REALLY want Xubuntu try the alternate install. | 04:51 |
| Sanctusorium | It doesnt boot into a GUI. | 04:51 |
| Sanctusorium | And... | 04:51 |
| Sanctusorium | The difference between Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu is the GUI it uses | 04:51 |
| Sanctusorium | Ub is GNOME | 04:51 |
| Sanctusorium | Kub is KDE | 04:51 |
| Athensman | i just have a spare computer than is old and i have win2kpro on it but it runs it slow everyone has told me to do linux since it would prob run better | 04:51 |
| Sanctusorium | And Xub is Xfce | 04:52 |
| Sanctusorium | Yeah, it probally will. | 04:52 |
| Athensman | is kubuntu good? | 04:52 |
| Jester45 | yes | 04:52 |
| Sanctusorium | Well... They are all "good" | 04:52 |
| Jester45 | but it runs slower on old hardware | 04:52 |
| Sanctusorium | I would still try Xubuntu because your PC is old | 04:53 |
| Sanctusorium | Try to download the alternate install. | 04:53 |
| Jester45 | xubuntu is the fastest then ubuntu then kubuntu | 04:53 |
| Athensman | well main i have tried 2 installed | 04:53 |
| Jester45 | you might like xubuntu better anyways | 04:53 |
| Athensman | i have downloaded from 2 different places | 04:53 |
| Sanctusorium | You tried the Desktop version | 04:53 |
| Sanctusorium | I am pretty sure | 04:53 |
| Jester45 | i run xubuntu on a athlon62 4200 | 04:54 |
| Sanctusorium | The alternate install wont boot into a GUI | 04:54 |
| Athensman | i havtn seen a desktop version | 04:54 |
| Sanctusorium | Hmm | 04:54 |
| Jester45 | i *think* | 04:54 |
| Athensman | i was wondering if there was a windows install version | 04:54 |
| Jester45 | yes | 04:54 |
| Jester45 | buts its buggy | 04:54 |
| Jester45 | and doesnt work as good | 04:54 |
| Jester45 | try the alternative cd its stabler and faster | 04:54 |
| Athensman | whats the link | 04:55 |
| Sanctusorium | xubuntu-6.10-alternate-amd64.iso | 04:55 |
| Jester45 | how much ram does the machine have | 04:55 |
| Sanctusorium | Oh | 04:55 |
| Sanctusorium | Not that | 04:55 |
| Athensman | 256 | 04:55 |

| Sanctusorium | Desktop will load a GUI | 04:57 |
| Athensman | i run it in windows? | 04:57 |
| Sanctusorium | No, boot it. | 04:57 |
| Athensman | k | 04:57 |
| Sanctusorium | I dont suggest installing from windows | 04:58 |
| Sanctusorium | Because if they say it is buggy, unless you are a developer, I would stay away from it. | 04:58 |
| Athensman | well it is downloading | 04:58 |
| Sanctusorium | Alright. | 04:58 |
| === tonyyarusso seconds that | ||
| Sanctusorium | Do you use bittorrent at all? | 04:58 |
| Athensman | yes all the time | 04:58 |

| Sanctusorium | If it dose NOT work | 05:00 |
| Athensman | 200k thats betyer | 05:00 |
| Sanctusorium | I suggest you try straight out Ubuntu | 05:00 |
| Jester45 | you can install a ubuntu server and then install xubuntu | 05:01 |
| Jester45 | going the server way keeps from isntalling the gnome gui | 05:02 |
| Athensman | i dont know why it will not install | 05:02 |
| Jester45 | the slow part of ubuntu | 05:02 |
| Sanctusorium | Athensman, I have no clue why Ubuntu wouldn't boot up for me... | 05:02 |
| Athensman | compare to win2kpro how much resources does xubuntu use? | 05:02 |
| Athensman | so what did you do Sanctusorium | 05:03 |
| Sanctusorium | Just tried Kubuntu, it worked, but a friend suggest I just try Xubuntu | 05:03 |
| Athensman | do you like it | 05:03 |
| Sanctusorium | So I am using Xubuntu now | 05:03 |
| Sanctusorium | Yeah | 05:03 |
| Sanctusorium | I am just starting myself | 05:04 |

| Sanctusorium | Most. | 05:04 |
| Jester45 | a beautiful beast | 05:05 |
| Sanctusorium | Oh yes ;D | 05:05 |
| Athensman | i guess i need to see if that live cd will boot up in my other machine and I can tell if it is bad or not | 05:05 |

| Sanctusorium | Another question... Linux can READ NTFS just fine, cant it? | 05:24 |
| Sanctusorium | I know writting is out of the question. | 05:24 |
| R[a] ndom | writing isnt out of the question | 05:24 |
| R[a] ndom | there are implementations that mostly work, and supposedly never screw up | 05:24 |
| R[a] ndom | like they know when they arent able to write | 05:24 |
| Sanctusorium | Really? | 05:26 |
| Sanctusorium | Niiice | 05:26 |

| Sanctusorium | wow | 05:26 |
| R[a] ndom | progress :) | 05:26 |
| Sanctusorium | I had people tell me NTFS couldnt be written to =b | 05:27 |
| R[a] ndom | thats how it was not too long ago. | 05:27 |
| R[a] ndom | :P | 05:27 |
| Sanctusorium | Ah. | 05:27 |
| Sanctusorium | Well... I had this told to me months ago | 05:27 |
| Sanctusorium | =b | 05:27 |
| Sanctusorium | Like, back in October/ November | 05:27 |
| Sanctusorium | Well | 05:27 |
| Sanctusorium | I shall have FULL access to my computer from Linux I believe | 05:28 |
| R[a] ndom | yeah access to your files can be a real hold-back at the beginning | 05:29 |
| R[a] ndom | I remember I had like 80gbs of mp3s back in windows at the time I switched, heh | 05:30 |
| Sanctusorium | Hmmm That sounds familiar <_< | 05:30 |
| R[a] ndom | well then youll be fine | 05:30 |
| Sanctusorium | My *cough* 60 | 05:30 |
| R[a] ndom | 4 years and 1tb later I'm happy :) | 05:30 |

| Sanctusorium | I AUtomatix'd it with some java... but lets see | 05:33 |
| Athensman | i thoguth it might had been my cd-rom so i changed it and still nothing :( | 05:33 |
| Sanctusorium | w00t | 05:33 |

| Athensman | and if i cant get this install to work then what | 05:34 |
| R[a] ndom | whats happening? | 05:35 |
| Sanctusorium | Try Ubuntu | 05:35 |
| R[a] ndom | ubuntu == xubuntu | 05:35 |
| R[a] ndom | xfce is the only package different | 05:35 |
| R[a] ndom | ok, its a meta package | 05:35 |
| Sanctusorium | He needs xfce | 05:35 |
| Athensman | i will try this desktop one first | 05:36 |
| Sanctusorium | Hes running a low end PC | 05:36 |
| Sanctusorium | But... His CDs wont load | 05:36 |
| tonyyarusso | When did XFCE get added to main? | 05:36 |
| Sanctusorium | It will boot up | 05:36 |
| R[a] ndom | hm? | 05:36 |
| Sanctusorium | get to a black screen... and try to load.. | 05:36 |
| R[a] ndom | like the install cd? | 05:37 |
| Sanctusorium | I believe so. | 05:37 |
| Sanctusorium | He can tell you better than I. | 05:37 |
| Athensman | i bott the live cd | 05:37 |
| Athensman | boot | 05:37 |
| Athensman | and it seems to try to install | 05:37 |
| Sanctusorium | Alternate version, correct? | 05:37 |
| Athensman | it stays at the main screen for about 10 min | 05:37 |
| R[a] ndom | alternate version is the non-live one | 05:37 |
| Athensman | then the screen goes black and all i see a is a blinking _ | 05:37 |
| Athensman | i am downloading the desktop u told me to download | 05:38 |
| Sanctusorium | Yeah | 05:38 |
| Sanctusorium | Thats the live | 05:38 |
| Sanctusorium | He had the alternate | 05:38 |
| R[a] ndom | did you check the hash on the iso before burning? | 05:38 |
| Sanctusorium | It works on other PCS | 05:38 |
| R[a] ndom | oh | 05:38 |
| R[a] ndom | still? | 05:38 |
| Sanctusorium | Its almost the EXACT same problem I had | 05:39 |
| Sanctusorium | I got ubuntu... | 05:39 |
| R[a] ndom | and it worked? | 05:39 |
| Sanctusorium | The live CD | 05:39 |
| Sanctusorium | Nope.. | 05:39 |
| R[a] ndom | oh | 05:39 |
| R[a] ndom | heh | 05:39 |
| Sanctusorium | Booted it up | 05:39 |
| R[a] ndom | fd706420fb2c1529707658ba43e9554a xubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso | 05:39 |
| R[a] ndom | theres the md5 btw | 05:39 |
| Sanctusorium | It got to a pink screen | 05:40 |
| Sanctusorium | with a mouse arrow | 05:40 |
| Sanctusorium | And just sat there | 05:40 |
| R[a] ndom | huh | 05:40 |
| R[a] ndom | that happened to me with a few distros back in the day | 05:40 |
| Sanctusorium | Tried it on a different computer and BOOM loaded up in notime | 05:40 |
| R[a] ndom | I just used others :P | 05:40 |
| Sanctusorium | Yep | 05:40 |
| Sanctusorium | I just used Kubuntu | 05:40 |
| Sanctusorium | Worked fine | 05:41 |
| R[a] ndom | then did you sudo apt get install xubuntu-desktop | 05:41 |
| R[a] ndom | apt-get | 05:41 |
| Sanctusorium | Switched to Xubuntu because a friend because he knew it better | 05:41 |
| Sanctusorium | and he could help me | 05:41 |
| Sanctusorium | Nope, just compleatly reinstalled XD | 05:41 |
| R[a] ndom | heh | 05:42 |
| Sanctusorium | DIdn't know one could change that easily | 05:42 |
| Athensman | R[a] ndom any ideas? | 05:42 |
| R[a] ndom | nah, sorry man. | 05:42 |
| R[a] ndom | the live cd might help tho | 05:42 |
| R[a] ndom | as its pretty different | 05:43 |
| Athensman | desktop i386??? | 05:43 |
| Sanctusorium | Yep | 05:43 |
| R[a] ndom | thats the live cd yeah | 05:43 |
| Athensman | well fixing to burn it | 05:43 |
| Sanctusorium | Alright | 05:43 |
| R[a] ndom | thats the 'normal' installer | 05:43 |
| Sanctusorium | If it doesnt work... | 05:43 |
| R[a] ndom | the one you had was the old one | 05:43 |
| Sanctusorium | Try Ubuntu | 05:43 |
| Athensman | brb | 05:43 |
| Sanctusorium | Ok | 05:43 |
| Sanctusorium | Oh | 05:43 |
| Sanctusorium | R[a] ndom, how do I get the NTFS read/writter? | 05:44 |
| R[a] ndom | iunno | 05:44 |
| R[a] ndom | !ntfs | 05:44 |
| ubotu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse | 05:44 |
| R[a] ndom | niice | 05:44 |
| R[a] ndom | !ntfs-3g | 05:44 |
| ubotu | ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution.

| Sanctusorium | The GUI | 05:44 |
| R[a] ndom | window manager | 05:44 |

| Guard] [an | do you have 4 nice squares previewing the desktops ? | 05:16 |
| Guard] [an | i don't see where in beryl settings you configure that :( | 05:17 |
| kalikiana | I have two desktops, but after I set it in Beryl Settings the pager works. | 05:18 |
| kalikiana | However I don't use Beryl regularly, only occasionally for testing if it's gotten more stable. | 05:19 |
| kalikiana | Still there are too many annoyances for me. | 05:19 |

| tonyyarusso | Why does Xubuntu use GDM instead of XDM? | 06:55 |
| grazie | tonyyarusso: I suppose because the xubuntu creators preferred gdm | 06:56 |
| TheSheep | tonyyarusso: mainly beacuse of accessibility issues | 06:56 |
| tonyyarusso | TheSheep: Ah, that makes sense | 06:57 |
| TheSheep | tonyyarusso: also because they managed to clear gdm of gnome library dependencies | 06:57 |

| tonyyarusso | hehe, yeah. | 06:58 |
| tonyyarusso | GDM's probably too heavy for this box though :( | 06:58 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm considering trying to compile Slim for it instead | 06:59 |
| TheSheep | tonyyarusso: if it's a single-user computer, you might consider skipping the login entirely and just running X with sudo | 07:00 |
| tonyyarusso | TheSheep: Little boot script action? Perhaps. I don't know that it will be single user though. | 07:01 |
| tonyyarusso | TheSheep: They're being sold/given away, so it's hard to say who the end user will be exactly | 07:01 |
| grazie | tonyyarusso: have you not been able to find a slim .deb package? | 07:02 |

| Prodoc | anyone know how to autostart the synergy client on xubuntu after login? | 09:17 |
| TheSheep | Prodoc: system->autostarted applications | 09:18 |
| Prodoc | I found this lengthy ubuntu tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto but this applies to gnome and kde | 09:18 |
| TheSheep | or just try savign the session while it is running | 09:18 |
| Prodoc | TheSheep, that would be too easy | 09:18 |
| === Prodoc wonders why I didn't think of the autostart feature... | ||
| maxamillion | ;) | 09:20 |
| TheSheep | Prodoc: just use the gnome howto, and use that "autostarted applications" isntead of "System Menu->Preferences->Sessions, click the Startup Programs tab, click "Add" then just enter the Startup Command:" | 09:20 |

| MatBoy | is there already a liveCD with 4.4 and Beryl in it ? | 09:32 |
| TheSheep | MatBoy: first time I hear something like that | 09:34 |
| TheSheep | MatBoy: there is Herd 5 Feisty, I think, for testing | 09:34 |
| MatBoy | TheSheep, why that ? other distro's have it too sometimes | 09:34 |
| maxamillion | MatBoy: there will never be a xubuntu livecd with beryl on it .... atleast not while i'm around | 09:34 |
| MatBoy | Dreamlinux has it too | 09:34 |
| MatBoy | maxamillion, ah ok | 09:34 |

| R[coding] ndom | 4 might be hard on the video card + proc | 09:35 |
| maxamillion | MatBoy: its just too resource heavy for most users so we don't include it on the livecd, but it will always be optional once you install :) | 09:35 |

| MatBoy | R[coding] ndom, wow :) better than what I have | 09:35 |
| R[coding] ndom | I like my desktop big :P | 09:36 |

| maxamillion | hello | 09:57 |
| tonyyarusso | Ulggh, this is slow going | 09:57 |
| R[coding] ndom | I love well written labs | 09:57 |
| R[coding] ndom | This command modifies the state machine such that the `0' (or `1') command applied to the current state will cause the machine to change to the named state and that this change is the state machine configuration will continue | 09:57 |
| R[coding] ndom | wtf? | 09:57 |
| Vaksy | I have xubuntu installed in my old laptop and I'm going to purchase and install a new Wlan card (or atleast trying to do that), so I was just wondering whether I can rely on ubuntu tech support pages though I'm using xubuntu? | 09:58 |
| TheSheep | R[coding] ndom: which word you don't understand? ;) | 09:59 |
| TheSheep | Vaksy: yes, xubuntu is identical to ubuntu under the hood | 09:59 |
| TheSheep | Vaksy: only uses different desktop and apps | 09:59 |
| TheSheep | Vaksy: but "internals" are the same | 09:59 |
| R[coding] ndom | "and that this change is the state machine configuration will continue" | 09:59 |
| Vaksy | Okay, I thought that too, but decided to confirm to avoid running around the city for nothing :) | 10:00 |
| TheSheep | R[coding] ndom: s/is/in | 10:00 |
| R[coding] ndom | still doesnt make sense | 10:00 |
| R[coding] ndom | like I get what they mean | 10:00 |
| R[coding] ndom | but it should be two sentences, and grammared up a notch | 10:00 |
| TheSheep | R[coding] ndom: well, the state machine will continue its operation in the conficguration with the new state included, ok? | 10:00 |
| TheSheep | or excluded | 10:01 |
| TheSheep | if you used 0 | 10:01 |
| R[coding] ndom | actually it changes the destination state when a 0 or 1 is entered | 10:01 |
| R[coding] ndom | not that it really matters. heh | 10:01 |
| TheSheep | R[coding] ndom: ah, so it's deterministic? | 10:02 |

| Eagle_101 | 9GB is all this guy has on the partition | 11:09 |
| hyper_ch | then he should get another partition | 11:09 |

| Jester45 | xubuntu uses less than 2gb but 2gb is suggested becuase you most likly would want to add a few files somwhere | 11:09 |
| hyper_ch | I mean another drive | 11:09 |

| tonyyarusso | Heh, I'm working with things as low as 3 GB - 9 is awesome :) | 11:10 |
| Eagle_101 | Jester45, he has 1GB ram :P | 11:10 |

| hyper_ch | even with 28 (or 24) numbers it takes a little | 11:30 |
| hyper_ch | while | 11:30 |
| hyper_ch | however the effect is, that you may hit some real keys that are somewhere in the shelves in the stores | 11:30 |
