| === Topic (#xubuntu): set by Pumpernickel at Sun May 20 02:21:34 2007 | ||
| === NikonRaccoon is going nuts trying to figure out how to disable the screenlock on her laptop every time she closes the lid. She found that disabling the xscreensaver does the job, but it always comes back, and editing the .xscreensaver file in her home dir to have lock=false doesn't seem to have worked. | ||

| (BFTD/#xubuntu) NikonRaccoon uninstall it then | 07:01 | |
| === NikonRaccoon blushes. "I went to, but apt wanted to uninstall the xubuntu-desktop too." | ||
| Jester45 | do you use the screensaver | 07:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Jester45 | thats fine | 07:02 |
| NikonRaccoon | Nope, not at all Jester. | 07:02 |
| Jester45 | its a meta package | 07:02 |
| Jester45 | also | 07:03 |
| NikonRaccoon | So saying yes will not break things? | 07:03 |
| Jester45 | remove xscreensaver-data | 07:03 |
| BFTD | :P | 07:03 |
| Jester45 | no all it does it depend on this so you can install xubuntu from a ubuntu server install | 07:03 |
| === NikonRaccoon appolgizes. Is a Linux newbie. Is learning by practice. | ||
| Jester45 | so you dont have to apt-get install all the xfce pakages you just install that one and auto install the ones you really want | 07:04 |
| Jester45 | !info xubuntu-desktop | 07:04 |
| ubotu | xubuntu-desktop: Xubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 2.29 (feisty), package size 11 kB, installed size 40 kB | 07:04 |
| === [tokin] [n=ryan@dynamic-acs-24-144-225-167.zoominternet.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Jester45 | only 40kb not much can be that important and that small | 07:04 |
| Jester45 | its one of the first things people worrie about is that | 07:05 |
| NikonRaccoon | Ok, I'll give that a shot then. | 07:05 |
| BFTD | NikonRaccoon if anything goes wrong...IT WASN"T MY FAULT!! | 07:05 |
| Jester45 | BFTD, dont scare him like that | 07:06 |
| NikonRaccoon | I'll just blame Jester there. | 07:06 |
| Jester45 | o sorry your a girl | 07:06 |
| Jester45 | kinda used to guys | 07:06 |
| === NikonRaccoon meeps and blushes | ||
| Jester45 | if something is wrong i will fix | 07:07 |
| NikonRaccoon | Well, no screen lock when I closed the lid. | 07:07 |
| Jester45 | and BFTD did you ever get a domain or want me to switch your ~ address to it | 07:08 |
| BFTD | Jester45 you gave me the wrong IP | 07:08 |
| Pumpernickel | There's a bit of a guide to customizing lid events here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=121720 | 07:08 |
| Pumpernickel | Jester45: apt-get remove --purge | 07:08 |
| BFTD | NikonRaccoon haha, you're a girl? We don't get many of those here!! | 07:09 |
| Jester45 | Pumpernickel, i allready removed them | 07:09 |
| Jester45 | BFTD, calm down | 07:09 |
| === BFTD calms down | ||
| BFTD | ok, now what? | 07:10 |
| Jester45 | are you sure | 07:10 |
| BFTD | ? | 07:10 |
| Jester45 | the ip | 07:10 |
| BFTD | we should move this to offtopic | 07:10 |
| NikonRaccoon | Are girl geeks that unusual? | 07:10 |
| BFTD | oh | 07:10 |
| BFTD | yeah | 07:10 |
| Jester45 | yea pretty much | 07:10 |
| Jester45 | or at least they dont say so | 07:11 |
| BFTD | it locates to the wrong site | 07:11 |
| Pumpernickel | Not particularly, but enough that there's an Ubuntu-women group, irc channel, wiki, and so forth. | 07:11 |
| Jester45 | i know a few that use it to get more help | 07:11 |
| BFTD | NikonRaccoon NO! Just really awesome | 07:11 |
| Jester45 | BFTD, does it go to the normal vidd.us one? | 07:11 |
| BFTD | Jester45 no it goes to the weasel one | 07:12 |
| Jester45 | Pumpernickel, but thats being for ubuntu its kinda popular what % do you think are girls | 07:12 |
| NikonRaccoon | Oh, and thank you so much for the advice. I've been googleing for hours, with no luck. Everything I came across was how to install xscreensaver, not remove or disable it. | 07:12 |
| Jester45 | (of the whole community ) | 07:12 |
| BFTD | .2% are girls | 07:13 |
| Jester45 | yea... not to common | 07:13 |
| BFTD | I counted | 07:13 |
| BFTD | there is about 40 | 07:14 |
| BFTD | out of about 6000 | 07:14 |
| Jester45 | but... how about forum members | 07:15 |
| BFTD | not sure | 07:15 |
| Jester45 | wanna count those? | 07:15 |
| BFTD | its hard to tell | 07:15 |
| BFTD | so NikonRaccoon you see how special you are?! | 07:15 |
| === NikonRaccoon blushes... "After useing windows for over 10 years, vista scared me enough to switch. So far, I'm liking Kubuntu and Xubuntu. Still some programs I need windows for, but I rarely use them. | ||
| Jester45 | like? wine might help | 07:16 |
| BFTD | NikonRaccoon yes please tell us | 07:17 |
| NikonRaccoon | I've tried Wine. What I need is something like Acrobat Pro, to save fillable forms, like Taxes and the like. Also I'm needing a mapping program such as Streets and Trips or Street atlas. | 07:17 |
| NikonRaccoon | And I still haven't been successful in hotsyncing my palm pilot. | 07:18 |
| BFTD | Well | 07:18 |
| BFTD | google earth works fine on linux without any help | 07:18 |
| BFTD | and Acrobat is installable | 07:18 |
| BFTD | linux for that is | 07:18 |
| Jester45 | the 2 biggest problems with linux to me are games and compatibility | 07:18 |
| BFTD | you'll need to do it via (off the record) Automatix though | 07:19 |
| NikonRaccoon | doesn't like this laptop. It's a p3-650 with only 320mb of ram, and an 8mb ATI Rage card..... | 07:19 |
| BFTD | hrm | 07:19 |
| NikonRaccoon | Actually, I had Kubuntu on here, but it was a bit too much. The laptop likes xfce alot better. | 07:20 |
| Jester45 | games because you can play in wine (some) but its slower and they arent generaly made for linux unless its opensource and the compatibility will hopefully come as more hardware manufacures notice that lots of poeple use linux and would use their hardware more if they simply gave a driver | 07:20 |
| Pumpernickel | BFTD: Please don't recommend Automatix, ever. | 07:20 |
| Jester45 | BFTD, i agree with Pumpernickel | 07:20 |
| BFTD | I agree with you to | 07:20 |
| Jester45 | its 2nd to MS | 07:20 |
| BFTD | but its the only solution | 07:20 |
| Jester45 | for what | 07:21 |
| Pumpernickel | It's not a solution. | 07:21 |
| Pumpernickel | It's a problem and a half, by itself. | 07:21 |
| BFTD | temporary fix | 07:21 |
| Pumpernickel | It's not even a fix. | 07:21 |
| BFTD | ok whatever | 07:21 |
| BFTD | I never used it | 07:21 |
| NikonRaccoon | Adobe did make a reader for Linux... maybe they'll make pro for it to.... | 07:21 |

| BFTD | funny | 07:23 |
| BFTD | I've heard so many good things about it though | 07:23 |
| NikonRaccoon | Already installed. None of the other pdf viewers and editors seemed to be able to handle fillable forms. | 07:23 |
| NikonRaccoon | But I can't save. | 07:23 |
| BFTD | ? | 07:23 |
| BFTD | 07:24 | |
| Jester45 | does it say anything | 07:24 |
| NikonRaccoon | yeah, it gives me a warning message that only pro can save, not the reader | 07:25 |
| BFTD | oh | 07:25 |

| TheSheep | homebrewcider: what do you mean by "access"? | 09:52 |
| homebrewcider | share files across and the like | 09:53 |
| TheSheep | homebrewcider: you can install an ftp server and use some ftp client to copy files, for example | 09:54 |
| TheSheep | homebrewcider: or mount a directory from one of them on the other using sshfs | 09:54 |
| TheSheep | homebrewcider: or, if it's just single files, you can copy them with scp | 09:54 |
| homebrewcider | mounting the directory would seem like the go | 09:54 |

| Catoptromancy_ | ive tried new players | 11:21 |
| Catoptromancy_ | xfmedia was main player | 11:21 |

| whyking | hi | 01:37 |
| whyking | i see xubuntu does not yet build upon edgy, right? | 01:37 |
| TheSheep | whyking: eh? | 01:39 |
| whyking | my question is if its at the same level as the current ubunut, 7.04? | 01:39 |
| TheSheep | !xubuntu | 01:39 |
| ubotu | xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels | 01:39 |
| TheSheep | whyking: it's always the same version as ubuntu | 01:40 |
| TheSheep | whyking: it just has different set of default applications | 01:40 |
| whyking | ok.. I'll give it a try! | 01:40 |
| whyking | I'm tired of gentoo/sabayon and the compile madness | 01:41 |
| TheSheep | whyking: you will find it refreshing, but uncustomizable :) | 01:41 |
| whyking | TheSheep, what do you mean with uncustomizable? in what aspect exactly? | 01:42 |
| whyking | use-flags? | 01:42 |
| TheSheep | whyking: if you are accustomed to gentoo, you can be annoyed that *ubuntu have the 'preffered' set of applications, and if you venture too far beyound that, you are on your own | 01:44 |
| whyking | you mean that gentoo has more packages to choose from? | 01:45 |
| whyking | i mean.. e.g. I don't like abiword but installing openoffice should be easy as 123, right | 01:45 |
| TheSheep | whyking: no, but you have more control over them and you can mix and match them more easily -- this of course comes at a cost, you have to do part of the maintainers job | 01:45 |
| TheSheep | whyking: yes, but installing openoffice might pull in some OOo packages that you didn't really want installed, for example | 01:46 |
| === jeeGr [n=jere@a84-230-208-214.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| whyking | well.. i don't really care for that too much I guess.. my laptop machine is and oldie, so compiling takes forever | 01:46 |
| whyking | and I use xfce ever since.. so xubuntu seems like my type of cup | 01:47 |
| whyking | just have to find a cdr.. ;-) | 01:47 |
| TheSheep | whyking: also, ubuntu comeso ut once every 6 months, so don't expect bleeding edge versions of applications | 01:47 |
| TheSheep | whyking: on the other hand, they are tested pretty well | 01:48 |
| whyking | TheSheep, well.. I mean gentoo is also not really bleeding edge, but there are overlays, is there something similiar? I mean, there must be tons of ubuntu users out there wanting the hot stuff, right? | 01:49 |
| TheSheep | !repos | 01:49 |
| ubotu | The 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 !EasySource | 01:49 |
| TheSheep | whyking: there are several repositories, and you can also use some unofficial repos | 01:49 |
| whyking | yeah, that sounds nice.. is there e.g. compiz-fusion already available? | 01:50 |
| TheSheep | whyking: I think it's in the gutsy repos | 01:50 |
| TheSheep | whyking: gutsy is the next version of ubuntu, going to be released in few months | 01:50 |
| whyking | hm.. how easy is it then to upgrade? | 01:51 |
| TheSheep | whyking: there is a gui app for that, one click | 01:52 |
| whyking | nice | 01:52 |
| whyking | thats what bugs me with gentoo.. rebuilding world does not only take forever, it also does not work without hacking | 01:53 |
| === alnokta [n=alnokta@wikimedia/alnokta] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| TheSheep | whyking: you *may* get some dependency problesm if you installed applications from unofficial repositories | 02:01 |
| TheSheep | whyking: it all depends on how well the packages are prepared | 02:01 |
| whyking | oh.. dependency issues.. damn.. i remember those from debian days | 02:06 |
| whyking | that was pretty bad back then | 02:06 |
| whyking | are there lots of issues with that? | 02:07 |
| TheSheep | whyking: not if you keep yourself on the beaten road | 02:08 |
| whyking | ic | 02:08 |
| TheSheep | whyking: then again, they are usually possible to resolve by uninstalling the conflicting package and reinstalling it after upgrade | 02:08 |
| === Gabz [n=gabriel@dsl-202-173-185-172.nsw.westnet.com.au] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| whyking | well.. I'll need some not so standard python packages.. but I normally see that they are supported by ubuntu.. so there must exist something | 02:09 |
| whyking | and compiling everything opens up other problems again | 02:10 |
| Gabz | does xubuntu get treated different from the other distros (*buntu) i can't find it on any of the australian mirrors (iso files) ? | 02:10 |
| whyking | TheSheep, oh, and how well are laptops supported, like suspend2? should actually be better I guess | 02:12 |
| TheSheep | Gabz: xubuntu is not officially supported by canonical, so there is no shipit and the mirrors are separate | 02:14 |
| TheSheep | whyking: I think it's all a matter of the kernel | 02:14 |
| Gabz | TheSheep: i didn't think edubuntu was either.. but that explains it ... i'll just have to send file requests to the big australian mirrors | 02:15 |
| TheSheep | whyking: so all relatively recent distros would be similar | 02:15 |
| whyking | ic | 02:17 |
| === [tokin] [n=ryan@dynamic-acs-24-144-225-167.zoominternet.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| whyking | TheSheep, I guess you wouldn't recommend using Tribe3? | 02:20 |
| whyking | I mean.. if I update xubuntu right after install I should get all the new packages/kernel etc, right? | 02:22 |
| TheSheep | whyking: gutsy is not ready for production use, but it works pretty well for me | 02:25 |
| TheSheep | !worksforme | 02:25 |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 02:25 |
| TheSheep | whyking: I'd say that if you want to play and test it, it's ok, but if it's your only computer which you use to work for your living, better stay with feisty :) | 02:26 |
| whyking | TheSheep, and could I upgrade to that easily after installing 7.04? | 02:26 |
| TheSheep | whyking: yes | 02:27 |
| whyking | ok.. feisty it is | 02:27 |
| whyking | looking forward to it, still backing up | 02:27 |

| jeromeg | TheSheep: maybe but it's quite surprising | 02:45 |
| TheSheep | jeromeg: counting the recursive size is expensive | 02:46 |
| jeromeg | TheSheep: I select two folders that weight more than 5mo, and it says 2 folders (8 kb) | 02:46 |

| Jester45 | there will be a bit more memory before you start it | 05:28 |
| Jester45 | but once you start it its takes the full hit | 05:28 |
| whyking | so its best to not install it I guess | 05:28 |
| Jester45 | then if you close it it will free a bit of the memory | 05:28 |

| Jester45 | and if you must use one try to use gnome ones over kde as xubuntu has a few gnomes libs allready running | 05:29 |

| TheSheep | Wolfwalker: no idea, I guess it depends on the quality of your cdr, of the burner and of the reader, not to mention the weather and dirt on the lens :) | 05:53 |
| whyking | TheSheep, ic | 05:53 |
| whyking | and is there a way to choose between different layouts/styles for xubuntu? | 05:54 |
| whyking | or is there only one | 05:54 |
| TheSheep | whyking: if you burn slower, the laser beam touches the cdr longer | 05:54 |
| TheSheep | whyking: http://xfce-look.org | 05:54 |
| Wolfwalker | Well whataya know....... | 05:55 |
| whyking | TheSheep, what do you mean with that? | 05:55 |
| Wolfwalker | An old 6.10 Kubuntu loaded | 05:55 |
| === Wolfwalker is a packrat, yes, he knows, he knows | ||
| TheSheep | whyking: sorry, confused nicks :) | 05:55 |
| TheSheep | whyking: that's a site with themes for xfce | 05:56 |
| whyking | thx | 05:56 |
| whyking | man.. I really like this distro.. thinking about installing it on my other machines as well | 05:56 |
| Wolfwalker | Next question: With an old, old computer that the bios won't boot from a USB source, how do you make it boot from a usb cdrom anyway? | 05:57 |
| vidd | you dont | 05:58 |
| vidd | you boot from floppy, enable the cdrom and install that way | 05:58 |
| Wolfwalker | How's that again? | 05:58 |
| Wolfwalker | Do they still make floppy discs? | 05:59 |
| vidd | if the comp wont boot from usb, you make it boot from floppy.... | 05:59 |
| Wolfwalker | What's on the floppy? | 06:00 |
| vidd | the basics....enough to load the needed stuff to run your usb cdrom and then a call to run the installer | 06:01 |
| Wolfwalker | Okay, where do you get this? | 06:01 |
| vidd | there are also howto's on doing hdd installs | 06:01 |
| vidd | gimme a sec | 06:02 |
| vidd | can you do a netboot>/ | 06:04 |
| vidd | ? | 06:04 |
| Wolfwalker | Ain't a network in the house | 06:04 |
| Wolfwalker | How do you do that? | 06:04 |
| vidd | download rawrite2.exe and sbm.bin off the internet (do a search) Once you have these files, put them both in the same folder. Get a blank floppy, put it in the floppy drive, and then run rawrite2.exe. Take the floppy that this program creates, put it in the computer you are installing the OS on, and turn it on. Make sure your bios is booting to floppy. A menu will come up, select CD-rom, hit enter, and walla, you will boot your CD. | 06:05 |
| vidd | this should get the cdrom to work | 06:05 |

| Wolfwalker | Thanks | 06:21 |
| vidd | Wolfwalker, did it work for you? | 06:24 |
| Wolfwalker | Not yet, I have to go get a blank floppy | 06:24 |
| Wolfwalker | Where can you buy one of those? | 06:24 |
| vidd | um...just about anywhere | 06:25 |
| Wolfwalker | Wal-Mart? | 06:25 |
| === whiter [n=junior@032-399-822.area5.spcsdns.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| vidd | yeah...radio shack...best buy....wherever computer supplies are sold | 06:29 |
| Wolfwalker | I am beginning to believe the latest Ubuntu has dropped some of the older drivers | 06:29 |
| Wolfwalker | Kubuntu 6.10 worked, Ubuntu 7.04 and Xubuntu 7.04 don't. | 06:29 |
| Wolfwalker | Here's what 7.04 gives me when I try to run it. | 06:30 |
| vidd | then grab you a dapper installer | 06:31 |
| Wolfwalker | bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off | 06:31 |
| Wolfwalker | (initramfs) [ 119.001206] ata1: port failed to respond (30 secs, status 0x00) | 06:32 |
| Wolfwalker | What does that mean? | 06:33 |
| vidd | no idea | 06:33 |
| vidd | what are you trying to do? | 06:33 |
| Wolfwalker | Trying to run the live cd | 06:34 |
| vidd | oh....on the boot screen, hit esc... then type live acpi=off | 06:35 |
| vidd | tell me if it loads | 06:35 |
| Wolfwalker | It'll be awhile. The bios is old and slow too. | 06:36 |
| Wolfwalker | Same result. | 06:39 |
| vidd | then you most likely either have a hardware issue, or your equiptment is just too old for feisty.... | 06:41 |
| vidd | you said dapper worked for you? | 06:41 |
| Wolfwalker | Yup | 06:42 |
| Wolfwalker | Direct downloading Xubuntu 6.06 LTS now | 06:42 |
| vidd | you doing the live or the alt? | 06:43 |
| vidd | my experience shows that the alt is a better installer | 06:43 |
| vidd | especially for older machines | 06:44 |
| Wolfwalker | Live | 06:45 |
| Wolfwalker | I'd try the alt if I knew it would work. | 06:46 |
| Wolfwalker | But I don't have a Windows 2000 rescue cd for this computer, and I don't want to lose what I've got unless I know SOME kind of Ubuntu will run. | 06:46 |

| whyking | I always used kasablanca for ftp stuff.. is there something equally good but non-kde? | 07:03 |
| TheSheep | whyking: I guess there are only gftp and that plugin for firefox... | 07:04 |
| whyking | and what does the ubuntu symbol mean next to the package name in synaptic? | 07:05 |
| TheSheep | whyking: that the package is offcially supported by canonical | 07:06 |
| vidd | that it is an "official" ubuntu package | 07:06 |
| whyking | ic | 07:07 |
| whyking | canonical? | 07:07 |
| TheSheep | whyking: the company behind Ubuntu | 07:07 |

| vidd | =] | 07:07 |
| whyking | heh | 07:07 |
| TheSheep | vidd: s o r r y | 07:07 |
| whyking | gftp is nice | 07:09 |
| === vidd likes it | ||
| TheSheep | it's too freaking complicated, it attacks you with a gazillion of widgets ;) | 07:10 |
| vidd | ??? | 07:10 |
| vidd | TheSheep, what are you TALKING about??? | 07:10 |
| TheSheep | vidd: compre it with thunar :) | 07:11 |
| vidd | gftp is straight forward and intuitive | 07:11 |
| TheSheep | vidd: count the controls visible on thr screen | 07:11 |
| Jester45 | yea... i would rather have ftp thunar but it never seems to work right | 07:11 |
| vidd | thunar is like half an ftp program....it only shows the local machine | 07:11 |
| Jester45 | no | 07:12 |
| Jester45 | fuseftp | 07:12 |
| Jester45 | you can mount ftp sites on a folder | 07:12 |
| Jester45 | so you can have a folder on your desktop | 07:12 |
| vidd | in gftp there are 2 controls | 07:12 |
| TheSheep | vidd: how about an ftp client that would look like thunar but show the remote files, and allow you to drag them from/to thunar? :) | 07:12 |
| vidd | move files left, move files right | 07:12 |
| whyking | man.. my laptop is lightning fast now | 07:13 |
| whyking | eventhough this machine is pretty dated | 07:13 |
| Jester45 | and inside of that can be a folder for each site you go to alot | 07:13 |
| whyking | whoever forked this: nice work!! | 07:13 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: that's for the bookmarks panel :) | 07:13 |
| Jester45 | ?? | 07:14 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: the panel on the left in thunar | 07:14 |
| Jester45 | im faster just clicking though the folders | 07:14 |
| vidd | if you ask me...thunar is a little LESS intuitive then gftp! | 07:14 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: well, but you could select servers from it... | 07:14 |
| TheSheep | vidd: habituation | 07:15 |
| TheSheep | vidd: "intuitive" is meaningless in computer interfaces | 07:15 |
| TheSheep | vidd: they are all unnatural and non-intuitive | 07:15 |
| vidd | gftp is layed out the way an ftp client SHOULD be layed out....thunar is NOT layed out the way a file manager should be layed out | 07:16 |
| Jester45 | to you | 07:16 |
| whyking | ok, but what if I need a newer package version than in the repository? | 07:16 |
| Jester45 | then you get it from the people to make the program or compile it if they dont have debs | 07:17 |
| TheSheep | whyking: that's the catch, you either find a repository that has it or make your own package | 07:17 |
| Jester45 | most packges are pretty uptoday | 07:17 |
| Jester45 | date | 07:18 |

| whyking | hm.. its in gutsy | 07:19 |
| whyking | so could I only install this one package from gutsy without immediately going to hell? | 07:19 |
| TheSheep | whyking: if it doesn't depend on all the new packages in gutsy... | 07:21 |

| whyking | add that repository? | 07:24 |
| Jester45 | no | 07:24 |
| Jester45 | you would get all the gusty stuff | 07:24 |
| TheSheep | whyking: you can try either downloading the package and all its dependencies from packages.ubuntu.com and installing it manually, or just adding a gutsy repository | 07:24 |
| Jester45 | go to packages.ubuntu.com | 07:24 |
| TheSheep | whyking: if you add the repository, update, then install that single package, then remove the repository and then update again, it's ok (you'd get all the gutsy things if you use 'upgrade) | 07:25 |

| Jester45 | i dont | 08:22 |
| Jester45 | and it is | 08:22 |
| Jester45 | maybe not by much but it usees a lot more ram and moe cpu | 08:22 |
| Ben_Cs | jester: i use many KDE apps in xfce. like ktorrent and k3b, cause they're very comfortablr to use. | 08:23 |

| Ben_Cs | still for some reason Gnome runs faster on my comp (maybe because it's ubuntu with xfce and not xubuntu, which could be more dedicated to xfce) | 08:26 |

| Ben_Cs | jester: go an idea? | 08:27 |
| Ben_Cs | *got | 08:27 |
| Jester45 | remove gnome | 08:27 |
| Ben_Cs | think it'll make a difference in performance of xfce? | 08:28 |
| Jester45 | shoudl | 08:29 |
| Jester45 | or remove gnome services from startup | 08:29 |
| Ben_Cs | ok. at this time i'm still afraid to do that. but when i'll be confident in xfce, i will. i'm using xfce for only 3 days | 08:30 |

| TheSheep | !ask | 11:48 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 11:48 |
| TheSheep | Natureshadow: I guess the most common gotcha is that you can't do the hostname-based vhosts with ssl | 11:49 |
| TheSheep | Natureshadow: you need separate port or ip for every vhost | 11:49 |
| Natureshadow | TheSheep: This is exactly the problem. I have a virtual host <VirtualHost *> with SSLEngine on, and Apache doesn't do the handshake | 11:51 |
| Natureshadow | TheSheep: There is no way of doing SSL with name based vhosts? | 11:52 |
| TheSheep | Natureshadow: no, ssl is ip-bound | 11:53 |
| Natureshadow | TheSheep: I have hudnreds of documents around that state that it IS possible, but none of them tell HOW | 11:57 |

| TheSheep | Natureshadow: you can have name-based vhosts with http and a single host with https at the same time | 11:58 |
| Natureshadow | TheSheep: The problem is that Apache can't find teh correct VHost on a secured connection, right? | 11:59 |
| TheSheep | Natureshadow: no, it just won't do name-based vhosts with ssl. | 11:59 |
| Natureshadow | TheSheep: Because it can't read the Host-header to assign a vhost | 12:00 |
| TheSheep | Natureshadow: it's more a question of limits imposed on https on purpose, I think | 12:01 |
| Natureshadow | TheSheep: Well, I must admit that it DOES work. To be precise, I got it solvesd right now | 12:01 |
| Natureshadow | TheSheep: When the default vhost supports SSL, then Apache will use that to establish the SSL session and then switch to the correct vhost | 12:02 |
