Would Xubuntu be more appropriate for my machine than vanilla Ubuntu? [09:49] Whats a good news client? [09:49] nzk: slrn [09:49] _nnx_: it's more a question of what you like and what you are used to [09:50] _nnx_: both will work good [09:50] TheSheep, does that have a GUI? [09:50] nzk: 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). [09:51] _nnx_: gnome shouldn't be laggy with those spec -- if it is, there is probably something wrong with configuration [09:52] <_nnx_> TheSheep: What would you say the 'target' machine for Xubuntu would be? If system specs were the main determining factor. [09:52] _nnx_: anything starting at P2 500Mhz 128MB ram 3GB hdd [09:53] _nnx_: you can run it on worse hardware, but it will be slow [09:53] <_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] _nnx_: not sure, didn't use it for a logn time, but your box should handle it just right [09:54] _nnx_: I'd say, about 1GHz, 255MB ram and 5GB hdd should be smooth [09:55] <_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] I have a 3.46ghz 1GB ram machine that runs like molasses on Ubuntu [09:55] I have to use Xubuntu [09:55] <_nnx_> nzk: Oh? Have any idea of why? [09:55] No idea [09:55] It's been like this for as long as i can remember [09:56] <_nnx_> nzt: Weird. [09:56] Who the hell is nzt? [09:57] <_nnx_> My imaginary friend who insists on making me hit the wrong keys. [09:57] <_nnx_> :) [09:58] TheSheep, whats a NNTPSERVER and what should I set it to? [09:59] nzk: it's an environment variable and you should set it to the address of the NNTP server you want to use [09:59] What server should I set it to? [09:59] <_nnx_> In any case, thanks a lot, folks, I appreciate the help and time. === magic_ninja [n=asdfsdf@ip68-103-23-222.ks.ok.cox.net] has joined #xubuntu === kalikiana [n=kalikian@xdsl-87-78-35-230.netcologne.de] has joined #xubuntu === Dr`Maison [n=fred@62.147.164.174] has joined #xubuntu === darrend [n=darren@100.95.187.81.in-addr.arpa] has joined #xubuntu === rag [n=rag@58.Red-80-24-33.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #xubuntu === darrend [n=darren@100.95.187.81.in-addr.arpa] has joined #xubuntu === predaeus [n=predaeus@chello212186005030.401.14.vie.surfer.at] has joined #xubuntu === darrend [n=darren@242.181.187.81.in-addr.arpa] has joined #xubuntu === ethemc [n=tet@88.248.14.186] has joined #xubuntu [11:28] what is the best solution for ltsp xubuntu , kubuntu , or ubuntu ? === case_ [n=case@pdpc/supporter/student/case-] has left #xubuntu ["Quitte"] [11:34] ethemc: if there was a single best solution, then people wouyld only use that one [11:36] :) [11:37] :D [11:37] ehuehueheu [11:37] ethemc: you need to consider your particular case [11:37] ok so i'll ask another way, which one is the easyest one to install and config [11:38] ethemc: I think the one that comes with edubuntu [11:38] ethemc: it's basically all automatic [11:38] xubuntu has also a ltsp option [11:39] tbh I never used it, so I can't comment, maybe someone else...

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] cellofellow: the nvidia driver shouldn't have anything to do with your fonts ... i believe that would be a xorg config issue [06:34] hmmm [06:35] cellofellow: now its possible that the nvidia-settings tool changed your xorg [06:35] config* [06:35] let me reboot and see.

[06:45] :P [06:46] I 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] o19: shouldn't have to ... you might need to make sure to set the gtk-theme (which i thought would be automatic, but possibly not) [06:49] I didn't find the option to choose this, so I thought it would automatically be set, too... but I'll have another try then. === hyper_ch [n=hyper@84-75-93-168.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #xubuntu [06:55] Looking for it on google I read about changing the color depth, but that didn't change anything at all...
