vidd_laptopbut i went all the way back to dapper default and it STILL wouldnt work02:01
vidd_laptopi have the ssid broadcast enabled on the router so the wireless SHOULD be able to see it02:01
ffxrdid u see this line.." If/when Ubuntu do a kernel upgrade to 2.6.17 or later you MUST use wl_apsta.o (the script does that). The new module does not have the invalid AP bug. To obtain the wl_apsta.o visit [WWW]  http://svit.epfl.ch/stuff/wl_apsta.o. (From the bcm43xx team). The latest firmware package contains this driver."02:01

vidd_laptopno worries03:34
Prisoner_right now just chatting online listeing to MP3s on Xubuntu03:34
omglazersAnyways, I killed xfwm4, and it threw me to a blank blue. I went into a tty, logged in, but im unable to run startx or xfwm4; both wont work I think03:35
omglazersIf I kill the sessions at the main login, will it reset the problems?03:35
Prisoner_did you try to install the new XFCE?03:35
omglazersNope Prisoner_03:36
Prisoner_me neither, still trying to get the hang of this thing03:36
omglazersWait, do you mean 6.10?03:37
omglazersI do have 6.1003:37
Prisoner_there's a new version of XFCE 4.4 out03:37
vidd_laptopomglazers, kill xfdesktop03:37
vidd_laptopthen you SHOULD be able to restart it03:38
vidd_laptop(or just reboot)03:38

omglazersvidd_laptop: Run that in a tty?03:38
vidd_laptopyes03:38
vidd_laptopwhat is your issue?03:38
vidd_laptop...what problem are you having03:39
vidd_laptop(asking what is your issue sounds bad)03:39
omglazersI killed xfwm4 and now when I log in, my desktop and xfce is gone03:39
vidd_laptopso you already rebooted?03:39
omglazersYea, i've hit restart on my computer's front03:40
omglazersI won't lie03:40
omglazersI don't know if there's a terminal restart command aside from ctrlaltdel03:40
vidd_laptopyes...sudo reboot03:40
omglazersAnd I tried starting a new session and I dont know if I did it right because I would think a new session would work03:40
omglazersok lemme try that03:40
omglazersSorry. Super newb :(03:40
omglazersI would be glad to get back in and look it up but I have no desktop to even do that :)03:41

omglazersvidd_laptop: I really screwed up.. no matter what session I log into, it doesnt have xfce or any desktop/bars/whatever03:46
vidd_laptopim sure you CAN....someone had to put the icon there in the first place.....03:46
ffxrcant you run xfdesktop omglazers and xfce4-session & xfce4-panels03:47

vidd_laptopyou good now omglazers ?03:51
ffxrare icons generaklly 16x16?03:51
vidd_laptop....03:51
vidd_laptopno idea03:52
omglazersvidd_laptop: xfce4-panels wont run03:52
vidd_laptophmmmm03:52
omglazers'failed to eecute child process "xfce4-panels" (no such file or directory)"03:52
ffxrmight be panel just03:52
omglazersI think it might be because its already running03:52
omglazersNope, nevermind. They're not.03:52
omglazersBut it wont run03:53
vidd_laptoplose the 's'03:53
vidd_laptopremember....i cant type03:53
omglazersvidd_laptop: Ok, that worked; but they're just two little boxes floating in the middle of the screen03:54
vidd_laptopfirst day with the new fingers03:54
omglazersnot like, the standard panels03:54
omglazerscant believe I did this.. i'm such an idio :\03:54
omglazers*idiot03:54
ffxrit happens omglazers, xfdesktop crashes occasionally..03:54
vidd_laptopon my system...all the time03:55
omglazersyea but now I dunno what to do w/o panels03:55
omglazersat least, functioning ones. they're justtwo little boxes03:55
omglazersoh I see what happened..03:55
omglazersI can add items to them03:55
vidd_laptopthere ya go03:55
omglazersbut they're not the default ones03:55
omglazersthats what I expected :\03:55
ffxrcripes, no that does sound strange.. did you have items on them before?03:55
vidd_laptopi was just going to sugest that03:55
omglazersNo I did03:55
omglazersHow do I return them to default?03:55
omglazersIs there any way?03:55
vidd_laptopyou COULD remove x and then re-install xubuntu-desktop....but that is almost overkill03:56
omglazersI see how to lock them down and all; I just figured there might be a 'return to default' to make it easier :P03:56
omglazerspft. I'd rather just redo the panels :P03:57
vidd_laptopXD03:57
ffxrhahah it might be easier to just uninstall purge xubuntu-desktop.. then reinstall that.. why does he have nuke x?03:57
omglazershey would either one of you mind telling me the default pixel sizes of your top and bottom panels03:58
vidd_laptopquickest, fastest, easiest way (i found) to do so03:58
ffxrid try that first nothing to lose.. itd be a lot quicker than making them pannels over a gain.. ?03:58
ffxrahh maybe the panels dont go be removed by removing xubunut-desktop..03:58
vidd_laptopwhen he re-installs...his config files will still be there03:59
vidd_laptopand they will still be *&^%&^$'ed up03:59
vidd_laptopomglazers, create a new user....03:59
omglazers-_- Oy. OK03:59
vidd_laptopthen sudo thunar into thier home directory.....04:00
ffxrahhh thats an idea.. : )04:00
vidd_laptopcopy thier .conf files (all of them)04:00
vidd_laptopand paste in YOUR /home04:00
vidd_laptopthen NUKE the new user04:00
ffxrit would take hours rejigging them panels....04:00
vidd_laptop(AFTER your golden)04:00
vidd_laptopdont forget to enable "view hidden files"04:01
=== vidd_laptop WOULD just pastebin my config's...but they are weird
=== vidd_laptop like ONE taskbar
vidd_laptopand im running fiesty04:02
ffxri have none.. i use my dock from app switching,04:03
ffxrdoesnt seem much different fiesty..04:03
vidd_laptopfiesty looks cool04:03
ffxri spent 2 weeks getting my AMD64 machine setup right...04:03
ffxrnow i have this new ubuntu to think about04:03
ffxrppl say an upgrade is painless enough in ubuntu.. but..04:04
vidd_laptopwait till the new version is out and watch for issue reports before you upgrade04:04
vidd_laptopthey OBVIOUSLY never upgraded from dapper to edgy04:04
ffxryeah .. ll give a few months to to settle down.. but m an impatient get..04:04
vidd_laptopwell...may AFTER they posted the fix.....04:05
ffxrwell it was dapper -> edgy they said was ok..04:05
vidd_laptop....04:05
omglazersYea why is it when I boot it says 6.06 at splash04:05
omglazersBut it thinks it' 6.104:05
omglazers004:05
omglazersIs it .10 or .06 ?04:05
vidd_laptopthey never updated the page04:05
vidd_laptopedgy is 6.10, dapper is 6.0604:06
vidd_laptopwe need more doc help04:06
omglazersnew user = no problems :P04:06
=== omglazers will not be killing off processes so easily next time
vidd_laptoplol04:06
vidd_laptophey theres this little trick.....04:06
vidd_laptopif you want to JUST restart your desktop(not the machine)04:07
vidd_laptopWITHOUT nuking your setup....04:07
vidd_laptop[ctrl] [alt] [bckspc] 04:07
vidd_laptopits not a prank either04:08
omglazersalright ill try it next time04:08

vidd_laptop*user*04:08
omglazersyea04:09
omglazersall is good in the neighborhood04:09

vidd_laptop*wave* cellofellow04:10
omglazersI started this thing today04:10
omglazersnot a big deal04:10
omglazersgah, it still wont let me administer the system04:10
vidd_laptopomglazers, you misunderstand.....04:10
vidd_laptopdid you copy the new user data or just sign in as the new user?04:11
omglazersjust sign in04:11
omglazersshould I have copied something?04:11
vidd_laptopcuzz the new user dont have sudo privledges unless you give it to them04:11
omglazersI just made a new user and logged in as it04:11
omglazersAh. How do I give it sudo perm. for stuff like the administration panels which it wont open?04:11
=== vidd_laptop would recomend that you go bak to the old user....
vidd_laptopopen 2 terminals....04:12
omglazersok04:12
omglazersim there, terminals open04:12
vidd_laptoptype sudo thunar in both....04:12
omglazersdone04:13
vidd_laptopclick >view>show hidden.... (on both)04:13
vidd_laptopdirect both to the /home directory of each user....04:13
omglazersdone04:14
vidd_laptophighlight all the files in the NEW user, and copy to the OLD user04:14
vidd_laptopthen [ctrl] [alt] [bckspc] 04:14
omglazersohhh04:14
omglazersI see what you meant.04:14
omglazers:)04:14
vidd_laptoplogin as old user04:14
omglazershehe04:14
omglazersmuch better idea04:14
vidd_laptopold user golden now?04:15
omglazerslemme see04:15
omglazersseems so04:15
vidd_laptopthen it is safe to nuke the new user04:15
vidd_laptopor let your kid brother sign in on it04:16
omglazerswhen I log in it says "$home/.dmrc" is being ignored, preventing the default session and language from being saved04:16
vidd_laptop(it cant do any damage)04:16
omglazersfile shoul dbe owned by user and have 644 permissions04:16
omglazersIt thinks I dont own my own $home04:16
omglazersI guess I have to transfer ownership of it to make it work?04:16
vidd_laptopwhoops....yeah04:16
vidd_laptopi think CHOWN is the command.....04:17
cellofellowoh, hi. (hehe)04:17
omglazersChown ?04:17
cellofellowchown user file04:17
vidd_laptopim not positive04:17
cellofellowchrgrp group file04:17
omglazersjust run 'chown' in term?04:17
cellofellowchmod mode file04:17
cellofellowlike that.04:17
cellofellowchown user file04:18
Prisoner_hmm04:18
vidd_laptopso that user "a" is able to use user "a"'s home directory04:18
omglazersThink that worked.04:18
omglazerslemme try04:18
omglazersnope, didnt work.04:19
vidd_laptopyou might need to add -R to the entire file directory04:19
cellofellowyeah04:19
omglazersso, chown glenn /usr/glenn -r?04:19
vidd_laptopcellofellow, he copied config files from user "b" to user "a"s folder04:19
vidd_laptopcapital R i think04:20
cellofellowif, for example, /home/joe belongs to root, you should do chown -R joe /home/joe04:20
cellofellowusr?04:20
vidd_laptopno.../home04:20
cellofellowthe proper place to put user files in in /home04:20
cellofellowusr means userspace software.04:21
omglazersFixed.04:21
omglazers:)04:21
vidd_laptopawesome04:21
omglazersThere was just a pair of files in it not working04:21
omglazerser, owned04:21
cellofellowok then04:21
cellofellowI think a good default mode is 64404:21
vidd_laptopomglazers, you golden now?04:21
cellofellowso try chmod -R 644 /home/glenn04:22
omglazersvidd_laptop: golden04:22
cellofellow644 = owner can read and write, group members and others can read.04:22
vidd_laptopnow you can nuke the new user or use it as you wish04:22
omglazersyeesh04:23
vidd_laptopits a non-sudo user, so there is little it can do to hurt your box04:23
omglazersnow I can't open files. I guess thunos is fked up04:23
cellofellowonly users that you manually add to the admin group can use sudo04:23
omglazersI hate how I do this to myself :P04:23
cellofellowthey probably have a mode that won't let you read it.04:24
vidd_laptopits a LEARNING experience!04:24
cellofellowalso, you may need to set the group ownership. Set it to the users primary group.04:24
vidd_laptopthunar wont open?04:24
=== cellofellow is using Fluxbox and ROX-Filer right now. He's no help with any GUI-based stuff.
omglazersWell, I have a folder on the desktop that wont open04:25
omglazersLemme see if I have ownership04:25
cellofellowls -l04:25
omglazersyikes04:26
omglazersnow I cant even open terminal!?04:26
vidd_laptopcellofellow, you know anything about wireless?04:26
omglazersOy.04:26
cellofellowvidd_laptop: nope. Always been using desktops.04:26
vidd_laptop=P04:26
omglazersdamnit.04:27
omglazersI think ill just reinstall xubuntu. This is why my main files always belong on different physical drives.04:27
vidd_laptopgetting ready to do a system re-install?04:27
omglazersIt would just be quicker04:27
cellofellowomglazers: that isn't good. Can you get to a Virtual Terminal? (a plain Linux console?) ctrl+alt+F[1-6] 04:27
cellofellowF7 to get back too gui04:27
omglazerscellofellow: Yea, I can get to ttys04:28
cellofellowok04:28
cellofellowbut no pts's?04:28
omglazersIm just going to reinstall. I screwed this up on a silly mistake04:28
vidd_laptoplol04:28
cellofellowI'll have to admit it's odd.04:28
cellofellowvidd is mr reinstall.04:28
=== vidd_laptop has nuked his systems MANY times
omglazershaha04:29
cellofellowall the times I've reinstalled have been after doing something weird with dd or the like.04:29
omglazersoh well04:29
omglazerslinux is so easy to reinstall04:29
omglazersits just quicker sometimes04:29
cellofellowI think this is reinstall number 3. Been all set for months.04:29
cellofellowyou have a separate /home partition?04:30
=== vidd_laptop likes to use the alt-cd
cellofellowquick and simple. Alt-cd rocks.04:30
cellofellowactually, I've used Debian Installer more often than alt-cd, but same thing really.04:30
=== vidd_laptop just runs the disk to do a cli install, kill the cd repo, and install the desktop from there
omglazersIs there an alt cd of xubuntu quicker than the live-cd version?04:31
omglazerscellofellow: I have three physical drives and I just keep important data on those.04:31
cellofellowI didn't install my system from this DVD I have, but I added it to the repo list anyways. Much quicker for packages.04:32
cellofellowyeah04:32
omglazerscellofellow: my setup used to be 1 windows 2 data and now its just linux/windows04:32
omglazersI prefer to keep my data FAR FAR FAR FAR away form disks that have windows on them04:32
cellofellowThe Xubuntu Alternative CD has the Debian Installer instead of the graphical Ubiquity.04:32
omglazersDoesnt it have to download stuff though during install?04:32
cellofellowI have 3 disks. /, /home, and /media/little-disk for extra stuff.04:32
omglazersI'd do that except for my mobo needing a driver to be installed04:33
cellofellownot like Debian Net-Install, no. After the install it will run a security upgrade.04:33
vidd_laptopyour mobo needs a driver? for what?04:34
vidd_laptopthats insane04:34
ffxrrtite nite fellas : D04:34
vidd_laptopl8r ffxr04:34
cellofellowI've been thinking of putting little-disk in my server, but I don't know if that little pentium can handle a 10GB disk. It handles a 1.5GB drive OK.04:34
vidd_laptopanyone here know about madwifi?04:36
omglazerssorry04:36
omglazersthe ehternet04:36
omglazers*ethernet04:36
omglazersI tried running debian before04:36
omglazersbut w/o a driver04:36
cellofellowI think all you have to do is install it and then atheros works.04:36
omglazersI couldnt use the alt04:36
vidd_laptopyou need a driver for your ethernet card?04:37
omglazersits onboard04:37
cellofellowwhat sort of cheapskate mobo do you have?04:37
omglazersand yes I do04:37
omglazersGigabyte S304:37
omglazers965 Intel ICH8 Chipset04:37
vidd_laptopalt cd will detect that.....04:37
omglazersYes04:37
omglazersIt did04:37
omglazersExcept.04:37
omglazersIt needs a different driver04:37
omglazersFor some STUPID reason04:38
omglazersTRUST me I know its dumb.04:38
cellofellowwhen I net-installed my Debian server, it took me forever to find an ethernet driver. Luckily one was there on the drivers floppy, but it didn't autodetect.04:38
vidd_laptopi used that board04:38
omglazersdebian, gentoo, ubuntu 6.10, 6.06, kubuntu 6.10, xubuntu 6.1004:38
omglazersslackware04:38
omglazersnone of them detect it04:38
omglazerswell, they might detect it04:38
omglazerslike debian04:38
omglazersbut they cant use it04:38
omglazerstrust me its dumb as shit I know04:38
cellofellowalt cd will install offline.04:38
omglazersI was under the impression it needs to download stuff during install?04:39
cellofellowyou can use a thumbdrive to transfer the driver over after the installation.04:39
vidd_laptopnope04:39
omglazersYea, I know cello. Thats what ive been doing :P04:39
omglazersSo then whats the point of an alt? Just even less stuff included?04:39
vidd_laptopno...runs faster04:39
omglazerslike, it lets you get your packages on your own?04:39
omglazersOh.04:39

mayday_jayxubuntu-devel04:40
cellofellowit uses a modified Debian installer, and just uses apt to copy all the packages on the disk to the drive, and does some basic set up.04:41
cellofellowon reboot you're graphical.04:41
vidd_laptopand it gives you some choises about WHAT you want to install04:41
cellofellowand it tries to run a normal security update from the internet.04:42
cellofellownot as much as debian. after it installs the base system you are presented with aptitude and you can install ANYTHING or NOTHING.04:42
vidd_laptoplike server install, command-line only, OEM install04:42
vidd_laptopall kinds of NEAT stuff you will (most likely) never use04:43

cellofellowtrue. They're just not in multiverse05:08
cellofellowfor some reason.05:08
vidd_laptopcrimsun, i stand corrected05:08
crimsunthat "some reason" is that they're not open source.05:08
vidd_laptopgoogle earth is NOT open sourse?05:08
cellofellowstuff in multiverse is non-free right?05:09
cellofellow!multiverse05:09
ubotuThe packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource05:09
crimsuncellofellow: for values of "non-free", yes05:09
crimsunessentially it means we don't have permission to freely distribute versions that we modify05:09

cellofellowthen they get put in multiverse.05:11
omglazersI never even HEARD of the word non-free05:11
crimsunso either they wind up in multiverse if they can be distributed, or they end up being rejected from Ubuntu period if we can't freely distribute our modifications05:11
cellofellowand then what makes it so they aren't in multiverse?05:11
cellofellowif they're closed source, what modifications can you make?05:11
vidd_laptopwe can modify and redistribute?05:11
vidd_laptop*cant05:11
crimsunif they're closed source, we can't modify the source period, which obviates being in Ubuntu05:12
crimsunnote, however, that it doesn't preclude release-commercial05:12

cellofellowI'd love to see that FOSS Nvidia driver project actually come to something. Here I have a "tainted" kernel.05:16
crimsunnoveau will eventually.05:16
cellofellowwell, a driver that lets me use AIGLX *and* OpenGL at the same time a TNT2 will be good. With nvidia-legacy I have to choose one or the other.05:17
vidd_laptopit would also be nice if broadcom would release the code for thier bcm43xx series devices....05:18
vidd_laptopsince they dont support them anymore05:18
crimsunvote with your wallet.05:18

cellofellowI need a list of supported wifi and graphics chipsets.05:19
vidd_laptopif i can find a wifi modual for a compaq presario 2200 that is linux friendly...i'll buy 205:19
vidd_laptopive had more issues with it then i care to count05:20
cellofellowI've had no luck with this old Lynksis WPC11v3. My dad's Dell's wireless worked out of the box with Kubuntu and Wireless Assistant. GNOME's thing in Ubuntu didn't though. I tried WiFi radar but I couldn't get it to let me enter my WEP key. And all LiveCD/DVD too.05:21
cellofellowAll live. Never ran linux installed on a laptop.05:21
vidd_laptopi REALLY hope Dellbreaks the M$ barrier05:22
cellofellowthey don't want to, but IdeaStorm sure wants them to.05:22
vidd_laptopi dont think they would be able to handle the demand05:22

cellofellowon Dell05:24
vidd_laptopheck...on anything05:24
cellofellowAnd they don't ALWAYS have to "Recommend Windows Vista Ultimate" or whatever.05:24

cellofellowLike on the budget PC page it'd say "Dell Recommends Ubuntu Feisty Fawn with Extras".05:25
cellofellowlol05:25
vidd_laptopthey could say SUSE and i'd consider sliding my plastic in thier direction05:26
cellofellowOn more expensive PC's, Dell would want to get some dough so they'd say "Dell Recommends Novell SLED 10", a commercial distro.05:26
omglazersI think there is a future of linux on desktops, but only if they can make it unbreakable by stupid people05:27
omglazersor at least, unbreakable in the ways that linux can be busted beyond repair of a normal schmo05:27
cellofellowWell, most people won't do whatever it is you did.05:27
vidd_laptoplinux IS unbreakable.....05:27
cellofellowwell, mostly.05:27
vidd_laptopjust "highly configurable"05:28
cellofellowdon't ever do `sudo dd if=/home/josh/floppy-image.img of=/dev/hda`05:28
vidd_laptopjust cuzz you didnt LIKE your configuration.....05:28

omglazerslinux is unbreakable05:28
omglazersJust05:28

vidd_laptopjust add the internet!05:29
omglazersif they can make a limited windows-like linux that doesnt crash like window05:29
omglazerss05:29
cellofellowwell, I expect if Dell does do Linux, the main distros on board will be SLED, OpenSUSE, Linspire, Freespire, Ubuntu, and Fedora.05:29
vidd_laptopthey will go with ONE distro.....05:29
omglazersOf course05:30
omglazersIt'll be ubuntu probably. That or suse05:30
cellofellowIn order of friendliness: Linspire, Freespire, SLED, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora.05:30
vidd_laptopmost likely SUSE....cuzz of the micro-pact05:30
cellofellowThey already did something with SUSE.05:30
omglazersProbably novell just to avoid micro05:30
omglazersdamnit05:30
omglazersYou beat me to it :P05:30
cellofellowBut NOT a preinstall deal. It was a support certification that says "This box now has a 'Works with SUSE sticker'" deal.05:31
omglazersOh boy.05:31
omglazersThat really helped im sure :\05:31
omglazersMost people who are hardcore linux users can probably build their own boxes anyways05:31

mark487new monitor on my xubuntu box, but its resolutions don't show in "display prefs".07:14
mark487xubuntu doesn't probe new hardware?07:14
PuMpErNiCkLeNo, that's not really supported by xorg.07:15
PuMpErNiCkLeThey're working on improving that, but the new version of xorg that has somewhat decent support for what you're expecting is only being slowly merged into Feisty.07:16
mark487thanks.  so i manually probe for the new monitor?07:16
PuMpErNiCkLeYeah.07:16
mark487modprobe or something like that?07:16
PuMpErNiCkLeNah, that's for kernel modules.  `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg`07:16
mark487thanks.  so that reconfigs everything or just the monitor?07:19
mark487and what does xserver-xorg signify?07:19
j1mcthat's the . . . main graphical subsystem, for lack of a better word.07:19
j1mcmark487: it helps to know your monitor specs and type of graphics card before you start "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"07:21
PuMpErNiCkLeThat will reconfigure everything, but it will also make a backup of the current configuration, in case there's anything you want to merge.  (Also in case it fails.)07:21
mark487thanks.  so reconfigging will prompt me for models/specs/chipsets?07:22
PuMpErNiCkLeIt will ask for keyboard layout, mouse type, video driver, various monitor specs (e.g refresh, resolution), and that's about it.07:23
meborcif you don't know the answer to all of the Q, just leave the default one :)07:25
j1mcmeborc and mark487 . . . meborc is right, you oftentimes just select the default choices, but selecting the right graphics driver and setting your monitor specs correctly is pretty important.07:26
j1mc. . . are pretty important.  :)07:26
mark487thanks again.  i know my monitor specs, and the graphics are onboard, intel i810 I seem to recall.  Er, how can i verify this?07:26
PuMpErNiCkLeRead the product description. :)07:27
meborcjlmc - you are correct... i reffered to the questions like keyboard modules and etc...07:28
PuMpErNiCkLe(lspci |grep -i vga)07:28

PuMpErNiCkLeo.O07:29
j1mcthanks for helping w/ that command.  :)07:29
BFTDI like pumpernickel bagels07:29
mark487hmmm, will lspci only display info about pci buses?  my video is onboard07:32
mark487i'll try it anyway, nice to learn, thanks07:32
BFTDmark487 yeah it should show onboard video07:33
meborcit does for my SIS crappy card07:33
mark487ya, it showed it.07:34
mark487very cool how lspci displays hardware info....  8-)07:34
BFTDyou should look at "cat /proc/cpuino" and "cat /proc/memino"07:34
PuMpErNiCkLelspci shows devices handled by the pci subsystem, not necessarily what's only on a pci bus.07:34
PuMpErNiCkLeBy contrast, there's lsusb.07:35
meborchmm... true... but i have never seen a USB graphic card07:37

SkippyXI'm in the middle of d/ling the xubuntu alternate install disk to install on an old lappy (dell 300 MHz, 96 megs, 30 gig hdd). Now - is it like ubuntu in that I can run it as a live disk? Or is it simply an install disk?01:52

TheSheepSkippyX: alternate is just an install disk02:02
SkippyXHmm. OK. Well, I was planning on installing some "lite" linux distro on it - may as well be xubuntu. i'm already running ubuntu @ the house, and xubuntu gives me "apt"02:04
SkippyXWhat is the difference between the alternate and the regular xubuntu disc?02:05
=== archangelpetro [n=petroleu@91.84.118.250] has joined #xubuntu
TheSheepSkippyX: the regular is a livecd with a graphical installer in it02:09
TheSheepSkippyX: it requires at least 128MB ram to run at all, and at least 192MB ram to run the installer02:10
TheSheepSkippyX: the alternate cd is a text-mode installer alone02:10
TheSheepSkippyX: it will work with 64MB or even less02:10
SkippyXwhoa.....text? ncurses?02:10
TheSheepSkippyX: framebuffer actaully, but looks like text02:10

TheSheepnot command line or anything like that02:14

SkippyXTheSheep, Oh - I know. I was torn between puppy linux and xubuntu. I settled on xubuntu because I'm already running ubuntu, and both are debian-based  - which gives me apt.02:20

TheSheepthe desktop is simple on purpose -- you can however hold down the shift or ctrl key and select several files05:24
TheSheepor open the Desktop folder in Thunar05:24

TheSheepit's much worse -- even if you enable single-click launching of icons in Thunar, you still have to double-click the desktop icons :(05:27
