Jester45hiya  vidd12:59
Jester45eagle-101, it will depending on what you have running its recommended rem is 512MB but will run on less12:59
eagle-101Jester45, mmm I had nothing running, but it looks like it was buffer stuff01:00
eagle-101I was kinda shocked though O.o01:02
Jester45eagle-101, im using 800mb and im on xfce, xfce isnt using it all but im still using it01:02
eagle-101Jester45, yeah I know01:02
eagle-101I thought at the KDE startup, it was using  700MB and I was freaking out :P01:02

Jester45i agree01:14
Jester45i think the kernel leaves everything in the ram untill it needs the rooms then it will wrightover the most unused01:15
Jester45so that if something is used then closed then open its all ready buffers01:15
Jester45but i might be wrong01:15
eagle-101Jester that looks like how kde is set up01:16
eagle-101to read that to me, on xfce it does not, though I could be wrong and it is only showing me what is actually in use01:16
=== Qew [n=qew@82-69-126-225.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu
eagle-101though I find it interesting that I can pick whatever windowmanager I please :001:17
eagle-101in that regards, ubuntu has windows beat badly01:18
Jester45there would be no difference, thats all kernel stuff01:18
eagle-101Jester45, yeah that is what I'm thinking :)01:19
eagle-101looks like xfce only shows the amount of ram that is being actively used01:19
Jester45yea each new version to me makes ubuntu more windows like (for a less impact from converts) and xubuntu gets heavier and kde just bloats more01:19
eagle-101oh heck synaptic works in kde01:20
Jester45eagle-101, run top and they will be the same01:20
eagle-101Jester45, heh that I see as well, but it does allow ubuntu to compete with windows01:20
Jester45kde just shows a diffrent way, like used and xfce shows active or something01:20
eagle-101I have gentoo on my other partition, and to be honest, I would not give that distro to my grandma :)01:20
eagle-101though I wish xfce would quit getting larger :(01:21
Jester45i hate manager01:22
Jester45s01:22
eagle-101Jester45, mmm window managers? or synaptic?01:22
Jester45and i love option01:22
eagle-101oh my favorite package manager is definatly portage01:22
Jester45managers for settings or other things wm are good and i dislike synaptic01:22
eagle-101oh ;001:23
Jester45apt for me01:23
eagle-101ah :)01:23
Jester45no rpm :)01:23
eagle-101heh :)01:23
Jester45most commonly built one but its so stupid01:23
eagle-101portage is the best I've ever used01:23
Jester45it takes to long to update the list, umm idk what the comamnd it but its like apt's apt-get update01:24
eagle-101Jester45, heh, its not so bad though you are right that part takes longer (but I have it on a crontab ;) )01:25
eagle-101Ok, I'm off to try flux box, kde is not my thing :)01:26
Jester45:)01:26
Jester45does fluxbox work with compiz?01:26
eagle-101though it is pretty!01:26
eagle-101Jester45, not sure01:27
eagle-101anyway back in about 60 seconds :)01:27

tidrio1any good wysiwyg editors for Ubuntu, also looking for a good CSS editor (mainly one with a color selector01:35
eagle-101:S I tried flux box... can't even figure out how to run a program :P01:35
Jester45right click on the desktop01:36
eagle-101tidrio1, there is one but I can't recall the name01:36
Jester45!wysiwyg01:36
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about wysiwyg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi01:36
eagle-101Jester45, I did :)01:36
Jester45arrg01:36
tidrio1What you see is what you get Html editor01:36
Jester45yea i know what it was01:37
Jester45i was hoping it would give a list01:37
Jester45nvu01:37
Jester45bluefish01:37
eagle-101nvu is the one I was thinking of01:37
Jester45or... you can do my favorite is mousepad/nano01:37
eagle-101best is to just do the html :)01:37
Jester45agreed01:37
Jester45you learn more01:37
eagle-101Jester45, no! vi! /me starts editor war01:37
eagle-101:P01:38
Jester45and can fix problems  faster01:38
Jester45notepad ftw01:38
eagle-101exactly, because you know what the code does, rather then just trying to find "the right feature"01:38
eagle-101(yes I tried nyu, it has high ratings, but its just not for me)01:38
Jester45or, how you can put 2 featers to do somthing rather than using a html code for it01:39
Jester45and you can make copies of the pages and edit content lots easier01:40
eagle-101 or put php in it01:40
eagle-101and generate the content from a backend database ;)01:40
eagle-101Jester45, http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/277/true-transparent-eye-candy-on-fluxbox/01:42
eagle-101 yeah you can put compiz on fluxbox01:42
tidrio1lol, guys..01:43
eagle-101tidrio1, ?01:43
tidrio1I know HTML it is an efficiency thing01:43
eagle-101tidrio1, and :)01:43
tidrio1I can click add table faster than type, <table><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr></table>01:44
tidrio1not that I like tables lol01:44
Jester45tidrio1, so... your staying you can open a editer load the file edit/add the table then save it all in the same time as the webserver looking up in a sql database and automatically change the file01:46
Jester45im guessing the time that takes is ooo under 2 secnods01:46
Jester45i would like you see you even find the file that fast01:46
tidrio1lmfao01:48
tidrio1wow, I thought I hated WYSIWYG01:48
tidrio1aight guys fine. I won't use one lol01:49

j1mcthe next release, the gutsy gibbon (7.10) will include the ability to install "iceape"04:35
gerroiceape?04:35

j1mcif it's not coming up in an apt-cache search, then it's not available in ubuntu, either.04:43
j1mcxubuntu and ubuntu share the same repositories04:43
gerroyeah that's what I meant04:43
gerrookay look I went into applications > settings > prefered applications> and set web browser for "mozilla browser" obviously some libraries for that program are installed if it opened your link04:45
gerroI'm just hung up on the "suite" part of what your saying04:45
j1mci'm sure that firefox and the mozilla internet suite share some same libraries04:45
gerrofor application I'm trying to get going it says it needs the mozilla part not the firefox one and that it works on ubuntu04:46

j1mcso, gerro ... if you can wait until 7.10 comes out... you'll have the equivalent of mozilla seamonkey04:51
vidd_laptopactually....yes.....04:51

gerrowell they better damn well be giving me the sexy colored font in that recording04:52
gerroj1mc: I have some xpcom.so file it mentions on my computer but can't find the same component that the mozilla browser is using04:53
j1mcwow, i just found out that if you close a tab in firefox, and then press ctrl-shift-t, it will open up the tab to the page you just closed.04:53
gerroj1mc: yeah that's more annoying than auto restore thing :/04:54
j1mcgerro: i think your questions may be better answered by the mozilla team.04:54

geck1Can anyone tell me how to remove an item from the applications menu, and how to add an icon for a program to the desktop? I tried just clicking and dragging but its not working =/05:09
vidd_laptopgeck1, you would need to greate a launcher for the desktop shortcut05:10
vidd_laptop*create05:10
gerrogeck1: right click05:14
gerrogeck1: and for the appplications menu right click it and choose properties then go to edit menu05:15
gerrogeck1: if you have a crappy one button mouse you can fix that under settings by assigning a hotkey perhaps05:15
eagle-101ok I have a question, not sure if it is related to xubuntu or if I should be asking elsewhere, but I have a microsoft intellipoint mouse. It has 5 buttons, but the two extra buttons only act as a middle click, any way to tell linux to use the two extra buttons correctly?05:17
geck1gerro, when i tried to edit menu, I don't see any of the programs in applications05:17
vidd_laptopeagle-101, check your xorg.conf.......is the mouse set as ps/2 or explorer?05:18
eagle-101hang on looking05:18
gerrogeck1: you see where it says "---include --- system" that is generated by the system and contains the applications section05:19
vidd_laptopand WHAT are these 2 extra buttons SUPPOSED to do?05:19
gerrogeck1: I really don't know which file that would be needing the editing however why not create your own section?05:19
gerroeagle-101: what do you want those buttons to do?05:20
geck1i'll check it out, thanks gerro =)05:21
eagle-101gerro I want to be able to assign them functions05:21
eagle-101rather then having them emulate a middle click05:21
eagle-101vidd_laptop, neither ps/2 or explorer was found05:22
eagle-101Option"Protocol""ImPS/2"05:22
vidd_laptopok...so it is ps/205:23
eagle-101ok yeah I guess05:23
eagle-101so is there something that is better to set it to?05:23
gerroeagle-101: applications > Settings > ... oh wait that is for keyboard I have no clue about the mouse all mine have 2 buttons with middle scroll that clicks and none that curvy crap :)05:23
eagle-101gerro, heh :)05:23
gerroeagle-101: I would really love to hook up a ps2 controller though05:24
gerroneed a usb adapter for that05:24
eagle-101this is a mouse I bought  back when I was using windows... dark dark days :)05:24
gerrobut like I said what would you even do with those things?05:25
eagle-101gerro, ps2 controller would be cool... would be interesting to see how a pc   dealt with the two joysticks05:25
vidd_laptopyou need to run....05:25
gerroeagle-101: two?05:25
vidd_laptopi need to find it....05:26
gerroeagle-101: why would I need two?05:26
eagle-101gerro, a ps2 controller has two analog sticks05:26
gerroalthough two mouses would be awesome!05:26
gerrohow do I enable that?05:26
gerroyou could use 2 buttons for one mouse and other 2 for other one05:26
eagle-101gerro, heh05:26
gerromaybe have them mirror each other on output screen05:26
vidd_laptopgerro, plug one mous in the ps/2 and the other in the usb05:26
eagle-101vidd_laptop, or just use a laptop and leave the touchpad on05:27
gerrovidd_laptop: but they would be sending input to the one cursor on screen05:27
vidd_laptopVERY annoying05:27
eagle-101and plug in a usb mouse (like I do)05:27
gerroI want 2 cursors each mouse has its own05:27
gerroone for reach hand ya know05:27
eagle-101gerro, heh05:28
vidd_laptopeagle-101, i need to look upth emapping program for you....05:28
gerrothen I could like play 2 games at once like that05:28
eagle-101vidd_laptop, thanks for your work05:28
eagle-101gerro, only one problem... you only have one brain05:28
gerrobut brain is split into 2 hemispheres05:28
eagle-101true... go play counterstrike and another shooting game at the same time... tell me if you are any good at both of them :)05:30
geck1umm one more question =)05:31
gerroyeah but certain actions would require the extra buttons05:31
geck1i just downloaded an xfce theme, and I have a bunch of .xpm files05:31
geck1what do I do with them?05:31
gerrogeck1: sweet what theme?05:31
eagle-101xfce has themes O.o05:31
geck1LiNsta-Black05:31
gerrogeck1: do updatedb as root then run locate  with the name of other xfce themes you have05:32
eagle-101sweet05:32
geck1but I don't know how to install it >_<05:32
gerroeagle-101: duh05:32
geck1sorry gerro can you say that again in more stupid peoples terms05:32
gerrogeck1: after you find where xfce keeps its themes you copy that folder there and set it to the same permissions05:32
geck1I'm new to linux =P05:32
eagle-101I think he means sudo updatedb05:33
eagle-101then sudo find / | grep name of other theam05:33
eagle-101I *think*05:33
gerrogeck1: updatedb updates your search database and locate searches for things. so locate Crux since it is an already installed theme oh its in /usr/share/themes/ next we copy that folder with xpm files into that directory by using mv command or running thunar as root05:34
geck1my head is going to splode. ummm OK i'll try heh05:35
eagle-101just mv file1 file2 where file1 is the file you want moved over file205:35
gerrogeck1: then you run ls -la and look at the left where it says drwxr-xr-x make sure the newly installed folder says that too and any subdirectories if not you use chmod command on it http://www.ezau.com/latest/tools/chmod.html05:35
eagle-101chmod -r 3numbers folder05:36
eagle-101geck1, its a bit of a learning curve sorry :(05:36
gerro-r for recursive might not work if subdirectories have different permissions05:36
gerrobut its worth a try!05:36
eagle-101gerro, yep :)05:36
vidd_laptopeagle-101, i have it....05:37
geck1I'm all about trying to figure it out, I'm just a bit slow at first =P05:37
eagle-101to be honest it would be nice to have a themes manager diddy that did this work for you O.o05:37
eagle-101vidd_laptop, ok, I'm listening :) (well if you don't mind I'll be back in about 2 minutes)05:38
geck1ok, I have open a window with the themes in it at /themes, and I have open the location where the theme I downloaded is located05:39
gerroeagle-101: you have a theme manager now just need an import option05:39
geck1It won't let me just drag it into that file though05:39
vidd_laptopuse xev to determine what the mouse buttons are named and xmodmad to map them to something else05:39
gerrogeck1: you have to be ROOT to do that so do sudo su then run thunar05:39
gerrogeck1: yes I know its confusing since it just doesn't work but gives no signs of why, I slip up with same mistake all time05:40
geck1its ok, I've used the terminal before, I should be able to figure it out =P05:40
vidd_laptopso my not just do gksudo thunar?05:41
gerrogeck1: anyway what theme is it, it look kool?05:41
eagle-101geck1, linux is different then windows as in it won't let you delete your critical files without first being an admin... and ubuntu goes one step further by never allowing you to be admin by default05:41
geck1thats a good thing =P05:41
vidd_laptopor sudo cp /item/path /item/destination05:41
eagle-101so no rouge scripts deleting your system32 files :)05:41
vidd_laptopeagle-101, you get my line?05:42

eagle-101ok  :)05:42
geck1where is the tmp directory? i just lost it05:42
eagle-101vidd_laptop, thanks, I don't need to change anything?05:43
eagle-101err in my xorg?05:43
geck1cancel that, found it05:43
vidd_laptopwell....yeah....that is what xmodemap will do05:43
eagle-101ok05:43
vidd_laptopoh..no...nothing there05:43
vidd_laptopi wanted to know what x thought your mouse was to be sure these apps worked like i expect them to work05:44
eagle-101vidd_laptop, ok, and I should be fine right?05:44
vidd_laptopjust back-up your original map....05:45
geck1OK, I attempted to do sudo cp /tmp/LinstaBlack /usr/share/themes05:45
vidd_laptopdont be like me and unmap the <enter> key05:45
eagle-101vidd_laptop, heh :)05:45

LectusHello! I just installed my old Ubuntu Dapper CD, but I'd like to install feisty. But when I try to install using the live CD it just hangs at 15% (detecting file systems). The same whith Kubuntu, but not with Xubuntu. It looks like a bug. Has anyone experienced this too?05:52
vidd_laptopgerro, couldnt do that...root was disabled...and sudo was messed up05:52
eagle-101Lectus, try checking out if your file systems are mounted or not05:52
eagle-101with the live cd, I had to manually unmount my partitions to let it install05:53
geck1Lectus, mine hung at 6% for about half an hour, and finally went through05:53
eagle-101(mine hung at 15% before I realized it was stuck on filesystem)05:53
geck1Otherwise you can download the alternate CD, and just install from it.  If you don't have enough RAM (on an older system) like mine, sometimes the alt CD is best05:53
=== vidd_laptop refuses to use the live cd....
Lectuseagle-101: It should be unmounted or mounted?05:54
=== vidd_laptop KNOWS he's going to install......
eagle-101Lectus, unmounted >.>05:54
eagle-101vidd_laptop, I almost did the same thing and used the non-live cd05:54
eagle-101my xubuntu install was not fun (though it was marginally easier then gentoo ;) )05:54
LectusAt the first time I installed it went ok. But I think then it detects my HD installation and keeps mount it.05:54
gerrovidd_laptop: grub recovery mode :)05:54
eagle-101Lectus, yeah so unmount it and it should go05:55
vidd_laptopgerro, yeah....15 miles away at 3 in the morning05:55
eagle-101vidd_laptop, ow05:55
Lectuseagle-101: That's really strange. When I checked at places/computer it was unmounted. And it got stuck at 15% locking the mouse and keyboard.05:56
TaJMoXeagle-101: the hardest part is telling it what partitions to use05:56
vidd_laptopi just left it and did it when i got to work in the am05:56

vidd_laptopLectus, is this xubuntu or another variety?05:57

=== geck1 [n=ben@fb.mlc.edu] has left #xubuntu []

geck1when I plug it in, my cpu usage goes up07:44
geck1then nothing happens07:44
geck1and it goes back down07:44

geck1thanks for your help earlier too guys, I'm sure you'll be seeing more of me :-[07:45
eagle-101geck1, xubuntu is quite smart, if you plug in say your digital camera (I have 3) chances are it will pick it up07:45

geck1256mb ram07:47
eagle-101and proccessor?07:47
geck1733mhz processor07:47
eagle-101thats probably doing it07:47
eagle-101are you running anything like firefox?07:47
eagle-101most likely you are into your swap space.07:48
geck1I actually figured out how to get the comp stat monitor, and my RAM is always fine, my CPU just gets used hard =)07:48
eagle-101geck1, ah ok :)07:48
geck1swap is nill07:48
eagle-101then its your processor07:48
geck1just the cpu mainly07:48

eagle-101mm, :)07:51
eagle-101and whats your general impression of linux :)07:51
geck11 windows for gaming, 1 for home theatre PC, 1 ubuntu for server/general use (when I'm NOT gaming), 1 xubuntu I'm setting up for my girl =P07:51
eagle-101heh, poor her07:51
geck1Its stable as hell, and runs fast too, which is why I'll basically be using it for everything but gaming07:51
