benpiccothere is something wrong: I only get ca. 25kb/s in apt with an 6000kbit/s internet connection08:36
Jester45doh08:36
benpiccowell, it's shared but it should be more08:36
Jester45benpicco, sometimes the servers are slow... but not that slow08:36
TheSheepJester45: you need a dot before that 'login'08:37
Jester45benpicco, are you using only ubuntu's servers or third party ones08:37
benpiccoJester45: i use the ubuntu servers, the problem also occours when loading upsdates08:38
benpicco-s08:38
Jester45the updates are from the same servers08:38
benpiccowell, atm, the connection is shared with ca. 20 computers, but I estimate that only 5 of them are currently loading something, and that might me some webpage08:40
benpiccoif i use a dowloadmanager at one of the windows boxes here and open ca. 8 conections, I can get up to 700kb/s08:41
benpiccowhich means full speed08:41
benpiccooh, now apt told me, that it couldn't load all packets - this often happens08:41
Jester45there are download managers for linux08:42

TheSheepnzk: or use google groups09:49
_nnx_I'm running a Pentium III, 1 GHz, 512 megs of RAM, lots of HD space, GeForce 2 MX.  Would Xubuntu be more appropriate for my machine than vanilla Ubuntu?09:49
nzkWhats a good news client?09:49
TheSheepnzk: slrn09:49
TheSheep_nnx_: it's more a question of what you like and what you are used to09:49
TheSheep_nnx_: both will work good09:50
nzkTheSheep, does that have a GUI?09:50
TheSheepnzk: of course not, I wouldn't use gui for *reading*09:50
_nnx_TheSheep: Well, I don't want to have things be really laggy.  I've noticed that they do that in Gnome.  I also noticed that Xfce has some odd behavior, but that was back with Edgy (and I think there was a major memory leak of some kind - I think that's patched by now).09:50
TheSheep_nnx_: gnome shouldn't be laggy with those spec -- if it is, there is probably something wrong with configuration09:51
_nnx_TheSheep: What would you say the 'target' machine for Xubuntu would be?  If system specs were the main determining factor.09:52
TheSheep_nnx_: anything starting at P2 500Mhz 128MB ram 3GB hdd09:52
TheSheep_nnx_: you can run it on worse hardware, but it will be slow09:53
_nnx_TheSpeech: And vanilla Ubuntu?  (BTW, thanks a lot for my n00b questions, I feel like I oughta know this already)09:53
_nnx_Answering, that is.09:53
TheSheep_nnx_: not sure, didn't use it for a logn time, but your box should handle it just right09:53
TheSheep_nnx_: I'd say, about 1GHz, 255MB ram and 5GB hdd should be smooth09:54
_nnx_TheSheep: Alright.  While I got your attention, have you heard of any problems with init and CPU usage bizarrities when upgrading from Edgy to Feisty?  I've had two crashes where that happened - init ate up 90% of the CPU, X apps kept eating up resources even though their server'd been killed, and Ctrl-Alt-Delete basically went ignored by the system.09:55
nzkI have a 3.46ghz 1GB ram machine that runs like molasses on Ubuntu09:55
nzkI have to use Xubuntu09:55
_nnx_nzk: Oh?  Have any idea of why?09:55
nzkNo idea09:55
nzkIt's been like this for as long as i can remember09:55
_nnx_nzt: Weird.09:56
nzkWho the hell is nzt?09:56
_nnx_My imaginary friend who insists on making me hit the wrong keys.09:57
_nnx_:)09:57
nzkTheSheep, whats a NNTPSERVER and what should I set it to?09:58
TheSheepnzk: it's an environment variable and you should set it to the address of the NNTP server you want to use09:59
nzkWhat server should I set it to?09:59
_nnx_In any case, thanks a lot, folks, I appreciate the help and time.09:59

maxamilliono19: are you comparing it to the openoffice-gnome look? because technically xubuntu leaves openoffice in its default appearance whereas gnome alters it greatly06:34
cellofellowRight now I am using an Ubuntu Edgy LiveCD and the fonts look great. I know it is using the nv driver and this is why. I know nVidia made my fonts look like gunk. Is there a way to fix said nVidia problem>?06:34
maxamillioncellofellow: the nvidia driver shouldn't have anything to do with your fonts ... i believe that would be a xorg config issue06:34
cellofellowhmmm06:34

o19I even don't find that one... Is it possible that I've to install the openoffice.org-gtk first and then in a seperate step the other openoffice packages?06:46
maxamilliono19: shouldn't have to ... you might need to make sure to set the gtk-theme (which i thought would be automatic, but possibly not)06:46

maxamilliono19: you could try installing gtk-theme-switch and see if that helps (though i think the xfce config tool should do the same thing the theme switcher does)06:55

vinzeStart with those07:00
b00ti searched them all07:00
b00ttheres something wrong though07:00
vinzeBut...?07:00
b00ti cant boot from the cd!07:00
b00ti burned it at 8x07:00
b00tand when i check the cd for defects it shows errors07:00
vinzeDoes it produce an error or does it just not load at all?07:00
b00terror while checking for cd defect07:01
b00ti burned it the first time with nero07:01
b00twhen it didnt work i burned it with infrarecorder07:01
vinzePerhaps the .iso you downloaded was corrupted?07:01
b00ti checked the hash07:01
b00tits the same as the one in the xubuntu site07:01
vinzeOK... Perhaps you could try the alternate install cd07:02
b00twhts the difference plz!07:02
vinzeWell, the alternate install cd does not boot you into the desktop, so it might be a bit more scary07:02
vinzeBut it should work nonetheless07:02
b00tum well am a newbie i might get lost if it didnt boot me to desktop07:02
b00tbesides am on isdn07:02
b00tmeans my download speed is 10 kb07:03
vinzeOw that sucks07:03
b00tit would take at least 22 hours to download07:03
