| Jester45 | i dont know my self but maybe this link can help | 12:36 |
| Jester45 | !samba | 12:36 |
| ubotu | samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 12:36 |

| Alloosh | hi all, can some one tell me if there is any advantage for using xubuntu or kubuntu over ubuntu? | 01:45 |
| Jester45 | its faster | 01:46 |
| kaos_nk | if your system is old | 01:46 |
| Jester45 | no | 01:46 |
| kaos_nk | and since gnome / kde are crap, take xfce | 01:46 |
| Jester45 | it faster even if you have a 500 Thz computer | 01:46 |
| Jester45 | or a 5Ghz for that matter | 01:47 |
| kaos_nk | Jester, I was referring to his question, not to your answer :P | 01:47 |
| Alloosh | I have new fast computer, but I still dont know which is the best, my computer is 2000 4400 1024 ram 200hd | 01:47 |
| kaos_nk | xunbuntu, naturally. (k)ubuntu will stuff your compy with unneeded bullshit | 01:47 |
| kaos_nk | of course, xubuntu will do that to, but to a lesser extent | 01:48 |
| kaos_nk | -n* | 01:48 |
| Alloosh | so what is the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu? | 01:48 |
| Jester45 | ubuntu uses gnome asa DE xubuntu uses xfce | 01:48 |
| TheSheep | Alloosh: the best is the one which you are the most comfortable with | 01:48 |
| cellofellow | Alloosh: Xubuntu is clean, and quick. It includes apps that do what you want them to without fluff. | 01:49 |
| Alloosh | and do you recommend using ()ubuntu or fedora? | 01:49 |
| cellofellow | Anything with APT, can't stand RPM-type stuff. | 01:49 |
| kaos_nk | was kind of advice is that, TheSheep. Should they install now all three systems and decide what is the most comfortable? | 01:49 |
| Jester45 | gnome does a lot for you but you will never learn anything about your computer with it, its better to give your grandma so you dont have to teach her a whole bunch | 01:49 |
| TheSheep | kaos_nk: that's the only way to tell, and you can have all 3 in the same install | 01:49 |
| cellofellow | Heh, Xubuntu you don't have to muck around either. | 01:50 |
| kaos_nk | ubuntu and especially kubuntu are packed with loads of apps no one needs | 01:50 |
| TheSheep | kaos_nk: forcing ones own habits on someone is not going to make them happy, usually | 01:50 |
| cellofellow | Honestly, GNOME is too simple. Gives you few options. | 01:50 |
| Alloosh | lol, actually Iam a web developer, and I have ubuntu now, but it has many issues with networking with XP which I need for some applications. | 01:50 |
| Jester45 | kubuntu (KDE) has LOTS and LOTS of configuration and is bloated and has way to many programs to do simple things | 01:50 |
| kaos_nk | TheSheep: neither is telling them to try anything, right? | 01:50 |
| TheSheep | kaos_nk: not right | 01:50 |
| cellofellow | Kubuntu, at least Dapper, includes Konqueror, OOo, KTorrent, Kate, and Kontact basically. That's not that big of an app list. | 01:50 |
| kaos_nk | dunno, I installed it and deleted it after a day | 01:51 |
| cellofellow | While Ubuntu has Firefox, Evolution, OOo, and GEdit. | 01:51 |
| kaos_nk | ubuntu held for a little longer, but was just as packed with stuff I didn't need | 01:51 |
| cellofellow | And a couple others. | 01:51 |
| Jester45 | cellofellow, how about kontrol or the other 50 apps included with KDE that have K in the name | 01:52 |
| cellofellow | Xubuntu has Firefox, Thunderbird, Gaim, Abiword, Gnumeric. | 01:52 |
| TheSheep | .oO( Is the fact that there is something on the disk that you don't use wrong in itself? ) | 01:52 |
| kaos_nk | ubuntu's really aimed at people changing over form windows, if that's the case, that'd be the only argument to take ubuntu, Alloosh | 01:52 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: I think KDE's lots-of-stuff approach is better than GNOME's super-simple approach. | 01:52 |
| TheSheep | Alloosh: you can install applications from all 3 of thes distros, so most likely you will just come up with a mix that's best for you | 01:52 |
| cellofellow | KDE is a larger DE than GNOME and XFCE. | 01:53 |
| Alloosh | you can say that iam advanced user, so I have no problem using any, but want to her your opinion guys | 01:53 |
| Catoptromancy | heh xubuntu highly configured | 01:53 |
| Catoptromancy | is best for me | 01:53 |
| Jester45 | cellofellow, agreeded but why not one super config program like gconf | 01:53 |
| cellofellow | And I think you only notice KDE apps more than GNOME apps because they have K in the name, while GNOME apps don't. | 01:53 |
| Jester45 | gnome apps have G in the name a lot | 01:53 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: what's GConf? I never used GNOME. | 01:53 |
| kaos_nk | xubuntu does everything I need for me, but if you want something even more basic, take lfs, Allosh | 01:53 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: true, but G also means Graphical or GTK a lot too. | 01:54 |
| kaos_nk | you can pass on gentoo though, it's like a halfway solution | 01:54 |
| Alloosh | I have ubuntu now, do I have to uninstall it to be able to install xubuntu or I can update or something | 01:54 |
| cellofellow | Alloosh: no, just install xubuntu-desktop | 01:54 |
| Jester45 | cellofellow, its a central way to configure your system so you dont need to edit all the config files or use 15-30 little programs like KDE | 01:54 |
| Alloosh | ok lets give it a shot | 01:54 |
| Jester45 | then remove all gnome stuff | 01:54 |
| Alloosh | how to remove the gnome stuff? | 01:55 |
| cellofellow | Alloosh: if you use aptitude to install xubuntu-desktop, it can easily be removed if you don't like it. | 01:55 |
| cellofellow | Alloosh: one by one | 01:55 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep, dont you know a page that has the list of packages that comes with ubuntu that is gnome and that part of xubuntu or the base ? | 01:55 |
| Alloosh | lol ok | 01:55 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: why? | 01:55 |
| kaos_nk | or just reinstall with clean xubuntu, will save you the trouble of removing all the crap that comes with ubuntu | 01:55 |
| Catoptromancy | isnt there main gnome package that will automatically remove alot more, since it is needed? | 01:55 |
| Jester45 | yes its hard to remove it all | 01:55 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: I think KDE takes the UNIX philosophy of lots of little specialized utilities, unlike the Windows philosophy that GNOME seems to like with large bloated super-apps. | 01:56 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: you just need to remove ubuntu-desktop, and all the others can be removed with autoremove | 01:56 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep, are you sure? | 01:56 |
| Jester45 | im pretty sure it leave a lot | 01:56 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: no, but that's how it should work since edgy | 01:56 |
| cellofellow | kaos_nk: can you stop using negative words? It's not crap or bs, please! I may not like it but it's not that bad, and your bad attitude just drives people away. | 01:56 |
| Catoptromancy | Jester45 : if a package depends on gnome it will be autoremoved | 01:56 |
| kaos_nk | it's just my opinion, what's your problem, cellofellow? | 01:57 |
| Jester45 | because i dont have xubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-mininal and i dont have xfwm4 on autoremove | 01:57 |
| Catoptromancy | if gnome-desktop is remove | 01:57 |
| kaos_nk | what's the difference if I say 'crap' or 'bad' or 'useless'? | 01:57 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: because you installed them manually | 01:57 |
| Jester45 | i did? | 01:57 |
| cellofellow | kaos_nk: can we just be a little nice to each other or something? I just don't like your attitude very much is all. | 01:57 |
| TheSheep | !languge | kaos_nk | 01:57 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about languge - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 01:57 |
| Alloosh | ok, iam 90% drunk, so I have to be careful with that. can xubuntu help me in my networking issues>? | 01:57 |
| TheSheep | kaos_nk: that's the difference | 01:58 |
| cellofellow | Alloosh: what networking issues? | 01:58 |
| kaos_nk | it's a free world, you don't like my language, /ignore | 01:58 |
| Catoptromancy | uh | 01:58 |
| kaos_nk | i'm not personally attacking anyone, so stop whining | 01:58 |
| Jester45 | its also a free kick you out of channel | 01:58 |
| Alloosh | the damn network here is weird, I can see the ubuntu in the xp but cant see the xp in the ubuntu | 01:58 |
| Jester45 | i could care less myself | 01:58 |
| kaos_nk | i haven't seen anyone leaving in the last few minutes since I started talking | 01:59 |
| cellofellow | Alloosh: you mean the Windows file sharing stuff? Network Places or whatever? | 01:59 |
| kaos_nk | someone's just in the mood to whine, obviously | 01:59 |
| Alloosh | yes, | 01:59 |
| cellofellow | maybe, maybe not | 01:59 |
| Jester45 | leave cellofellow alone hes pretty cool | 01:59 |
| cellofellow | Alloosh: I'd just use LinNeighborhood, always works for me. | 01:59 |
| Jester45 | he plays the cello :) | 01:59 |
| kaos_nk | right. | 02:00 |
| Alloosh | and some other issues also, for example what is pissing me off the most is that, my dvd drive does not realize some dvd, and they are not movies | 02:00 |
| cellofellow | me and my cello weren't too friendly today, sadly. | 02:00 |
| Jester45 | Alloosh, you need libdvdcss | 02:00 |
| kaos_nk | i wish i could pay cello though | 02:00 |
| Alloosh | data dvds, it hust realize some and does not realize others | 02:00 |
| cellofellow | !medibuntu | Alloosh | 02:00 |
| ubotu | Alloosh: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:00 |
| Alloosh | I installed everything | 02:00 |
| kaos_nk | or rather violine | 02:00 |
| cellofellow | Alloosh: xfce may or may not be able to fix that. Depends on your DVD drive I link. | 02:00 |
| kaos_nk | -e | 02:01 |
| Jester45 | ok | 02:01 |
| Alloosh | yes I understand but will give it a shot. | 02:01 |
| cellofellow | kaos_nk: what about a happy medium and play viola? | 02:01 |
| kaos_nk | true! | 02:01 |
| kaos_nk | i like medium better than aktive or passive | 02:02 |
| cellofellow | playing viola makes everyone like you, cause there aren't so many of them. High demand, low supply. :) | 02:02 |
| kaos_nk | oh, i can't spell anymore | 02:02 |
| Alloosh | actually i have business in europe, and I will need to build many networks for hotels, and I WILL NOT GIVE THEM WINDOWS | 02:02 |
| Catoptromancy | samba for large network? | 02:03 |
| Alloosh | noooo | 02:03 |
| cellofellow | you need to know the basics of how *nix and smb networking work then. | 02:03 |
| cellofellow | you'll need some smb compatibility, I bet. | 02:03 |
| kaos_nk | or a hot *nix girlfriend | 02:03 |
| Alloosh | I will use linux as server, to install my accounting softwares, and allow outlets | 02:04 |
| Catoptromancy | im jsut learning samba | 02:04 |
| Catoptromancy | and finished a networking basics course | 02:04 |
| Alloosh | I dont like samna, I will use some systems I develop at my company, samba is not smart enough to connect to networks in other coutries | 02:04 |
| cellofellow | I've never had much luck mixing Windows 98 and Samba. | 02:05 |
| cellofellow | samba was never designed to work over the internet. M$ mostly developed it as a way to kill Novell. | 02:05 |
| Alloosh | windows is stupid and I think its aimed at making people stupid, and it gives alot of headache, just like asp and sql, you pay a fortune to get crap. while php is much smarter and you can use it in wider range | 02:06 |
| Catoptromancy | so what a good alternative to samba? | 02:06 |
| Jester45 | nfs | 02:06 |
| Jester45 | not sure if windows understands its power | 02:07 |
| Catoptromancy | it should | 02:07 |
| cellofellow | NFS is ok. Sort of a set-and-forget thing. | 02:07 |
| cellofellow | I've looked and I cannot find any freeware tools to connect to NFS with Windows. Some shareware. | 02:07 |
| Alloosh | I think windows should understand linux power | 02:07 |
| kaos_nk | yes and capitulate | 02:08 |
| cellofellow | Windows understands IPP, which gets rid of printing headaches (except for WIndows 9x). | 02:08 |
| Alloosh | come on, lets face it, how much you will need to pay to launch a site from a windows server? | 02:09 |
| cellofellow | Windows lacks good security practices. | 02:10 |
| kaos_nk | that depends, of course, if you rip windows | 02:10 |
| cellofellow | Out-of-the-box security does not exist on windows. It does on Linux though. | 02:10 |
| Alloosh | while its 100% free with linux, honestly I have been working for a bank they use windows every where, I could swear that I can reach everything they dont want me to reach from my desktop. there is no security in windows, while linux gives you a million advantage | 02:10 |
| kaos_nk | i heard they actually improved that part with vista | 02:12 |
| Jester45 | lol | 02:12 |
| Jester45 | vista is a joke | 02:12 |
| kaos_nk | yup | 02:12 |
| Alloosh | try to boot a computer with safe mode and you are in | 02:12 |
| kaos_nk | or boot it with linux :P | 02:12 |
| cellofellow | I've seen Vista Basic, and I thought "who'd want this? It's weird looking and insults my intelligence." | 02:13 |
| Alloosh | yes I have done something like that before, its cute how you can change alllllllllll | 02:13 |
| Jester45 | the only people i think they got to upgrade are MS zelots people that bought new pcs and people that are brainwashed very easy by tv ads | 02:13 |
| kaos_nk | if they're proud they've achieved something with their aero-technology that's been around for linux quite the time, then meh | 02:13 |
| Jester45 | and longer for mac | 02:14 |
| cellofellow | Linux had Compiz for like a year before Aero was released. | 02:14 |
| kaos_nk | and it doesn't cost 600 bucks :P | 02:14 |
| cellofellow | :-) | 02:14 |
| Alloosh | and dont forget the damn nasty message (we are sorry for the inconvenience and we will close the application and you will loose all your f**** work) | 02:14 |
| Alloosh | I broke a computer once because of that | 02:15 |
| Jester45 | aero might be stabler but you have to add in that compiz doesnt have 10-15 developers working full time on it and that all those devel are local and that compiz has to work and many diffrent system | 02:15 |
| kaos_nk | aero, I don't know the point of releasing a new BS just because they managed to develop aero. | 02:15 |
| cellofellow | Compiz probably has a guy or two at Novell dedicated to it. | 02:15 |
| kaos_nk | aero=oh | 02:15 |
| kaos_nk | just reduce vista to its old look, you have xp | 02:16 |
| Jester45 | o | 02:16 |
| kaos_nk | with a few more functions | 02:16 |
| s-x-u | like more control on users | 02:16 |
| Jester45 | and Alloosh linux isnt a security god http://it.slashdot.org/it/07/08/15/1341224.shtml | 02:17 |
| cellofellow | all that is M$ ripping of *nix features. | 02:17 |
| s-x-u | like more information of users | 02:17 |
| cellofellow | OpenBSD is the OS that is all about security. | 02:17 |
| Alloosh | Jester45: its not a security god, but its more secure than windows | 02:17 |
| Jester45 | no no what gets me is they now have Automatic defrag.... just fix your file system and you dont need to defrag | 02:18 |
| kaos_nk | well, you have more chance at finding bugs when the source is open | 02:18 |
| Jester45 | and it will keep your harddrive alive | 02:18 |

| Jester45 | cellofellow, its kinda hard to defrag on linux as linux doesnt frag like windows | 02:19 |

| l05ty | hello.. | 02:48 |
| l05ty | i have a really silly question, that i need answering if anyone is about..? | 02:49 |
| cellofellow | !ask | 02:49 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 02:49 |
| l05ty | i am running xp on my pc.. on 1 HD, but i want to dual boot | 02:49 |
| l05ty | when i install.. it says its goiing to partition it | 02:50 |
| s-x-u | and don't go before you get an answer ;) | 02:50 |
| cellofellow | that means it makes the drive into logical sub-drives. | 02:50 |
| l05ty | and delete fileson it.. | 02:50 |
| cellofellow | You need to defragment the drive, and use the "use free space' option. | 02:50 |
| l05ty | i dont want it to delete my files.. | 02:50 |
| s-x-u | first bacup ? | 02:51 |
| l05ty | im using the ALT version.. | 02:51 |
| vidd | l05ty, glad to hear that.... | 02:51 |
| cellofellow | that still has options. | 02:51 |
| Jester45 | backup backup backup i can never say that the amount of times i need to | 02:51 |
| l05ty | there wasn't any free space option on it.. | 02:51 |
| === cellofellow has nothing to backup onto :( | ||
| l05ty | thanks guys.. i got my friend to get me the ALT version.. the Live just wasn't working.. | 02:52 |
| vidd | l05ty, the "use free space" option wil push windows over and make room | 02:52 |
| cellofellow | defrag, backup, and cleanup first. In the opposite order though. :) | 02:52 |
| Jester45 | lol | 02:52 |
| l05ty | i dont understand i get to the stage it says Partition.. and there its says use guided parttion or guided something else or maunal.. | 02:53 |
| cellofellow | use Guided, and it has options. | 02:53 |
| === cellofellow never did that sort of install though, so don't ask him the particulars. | ||
| l05ty | i chose the guided partition.. and it says i have 38 and few mb its going to partition | 02:53 |
| l05ty | its a 40gb hdd | 02:53 |
| Jester45 | delete everythingyou can making lots of space for the defrag and also less the backup. then backup then defrag | 02:53 |
| vidd | stop | 02:54 |
| vidd | how much of this 40 g HD is windows using? | 02:54 |
| l05ty | jsu checking | 02:54 |
| l05ty | 21 gb | 02:55 |
| l05ty | i have 13 free | 02:55 |
| s-x-u | (there are wiki's about this ....) | 02:55 |
| l05ty | it thought thats enough space for xubuntu to install | 02:55 |
| vidd | it is | 02:56 |
| cellofellow | it's plenty, but you still need to defragment the drive so that partitioning doesn't wipe some fragmented data. | 02:56 |
| l05ty | ok.. will it say what one is the windows one.. or do i i harzard a guess iwht 21 gb | 02:57 |
| vidd | where is that step-by-step guide.... | 02:57 |
| cellofellow | somewhere on the docs? | 02:57 |
| l05ty | sorrry.. i should have googled this.. | 02:57 |

| s-x-u | ok sorry | 03:04 |
| l05ty | fingers crossed.. i been trying to get ubuntu for quite sometime now.. hopefully one of these days.. il get it working and get online.. | 03:05 |
| vidd | that will likely take 5-15 hours...depending on your hardware.... | 03:05 |
| l05ty | my pc is ooold.. | 03:06 |
| vidd | XP or older? | 03:06 |
| l05ty | p4 1.4 with 128mb ram | 03:06 |
| l05ty | was with millenium | 03:06 |
| s-x-u | http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/ is this something ? | 03:06 |
| vidd | ah...good...defrag will actually work from within the OS | 03:07 |
| l05ty | than upgraded to XP pro.. and im jus fed up of windows.. i like the looks of xubuntu much better | 03:07 |
| vidd | is there anything you HAVE to save on that xp machine? | 03:07 |
| l05ty | not really.. but its this one im using now.. | 03:08 |
| l05ty | and it has all the drivers and stuff i need to use the interbnet | 03:08 |
| l05ty | i haven't got a network card only a wireless isb adapter.. and i found out the ubuntu will work with it.. | 03:09 |
| vidd | do you have more then one pc? | 03:09 |
| l05ty | no.. jus one pc | 03:09 |
| s-x-u | explain repairing mbr ? | 03:10 |
| vidd | did the alt cd detect your usb adapter and configure the network when you did your dry run? | 03:10 |
| l05ty | no it didn't | 03:10 |
| l05ty | its a netgear wg111t | 03:11 |
| l05ty | on the website it said it was compatible.. so i assume it is..? | 03:11 |
| vidd | do you have wep or other wireless security turned on on the router? | 03:12 |
| cellofellow | alt cd supports wifi stuff? | 03:12 |
| l05ty | yea.. its on | 03:12 |
| vidd | cellofellow, yeah | 03:12 |
| cellofellow | huh | 03:12 |
| vidd | l05ty, that is most likely why your wifi was not automatically set up...you should do a manual network config to see if your card will work "out of the box" | 03:13 |

| s-x-u | #3 scandisk | 03:23 |
| vidd | cellofellow, the only ones i ever had issues with were dead | 03:23 |
| l05ty | #1. scandisk 2. defrag #3. scandisk 4. defrag.. ? | 03:24 |
| cellofellow | one I had it took a lot of hunting in the list of drivers to find one that worked with Debian Netinstall. | 03:24 |
| s-x-u | #4 install | 03:24 |
| l05ty | ok.. thanks.. | 03:24 |
| s-x-u | remember you can not ask for help during install | 03:25 |
| cellofellow | Firefox is being cranky and slow if I have > 2 tabs open lately. | 03:25 |
| cellofellow | It just crashed. | 03:25 |
| l05ty | right.. this is it.. guys thanks once again for all your advice tonight.. and usefull links.. hopefully next time you see me here.. il using xubuntu | 03:25 |
| s-x-u | luck with it | 03:25 |
| vidd | and then you'll be asking how to recover the wasted windows partition! | 03:26 |
| s-x-u | sa before said : explain repair mbr ? | 03:26 |
| vidd | he shouldnt need to repair MBR | 03:27 |
| s-x-u | well if he powers off during install while grub installed | 03:28 |
| s-x-u | :) | 03:28 |
| cellofellow | then he'd better not do that | 03:28 |
| vidd | then he runs the install again | 03:28 |
| vidd | he'll be back b4 he installs anyway.... | 03:29 |
| s-x-u | haha yes i guess he has to (is that proper english | 03:29 |
| vidd | he's running xp with only 128 MB ram...that scandisk will take 3 days...and defrag will NEVER complete | 03:30 |
| s-x-u | woohaa | 03:30 |
| s-x-u | we should have given advice to remove the winxp because nothing special to backup | 03:31 |
| vidd | hell....i would have told him to do a clean install of ME...up[grade to xp....run the updates, then install | 03:33 |
| s-x-u | what would that give ? | 03:34 |
| vidd | a nice compact-as-possible/only-slightly-fraged system | 03:36 |
| vidd | and plenty of room to install | 03:36 |
| vidd | and save himself a week | 03:37 |

| s-x-u | preferences | 03:38 |
| vidd | s-x-u, nope | 03:38 |
| cellofellow | nope? | 03:38 |

| vidd | yeah | 03:40 |
| cellofellow | what option? | 03:40 |
| vidd | im looking..... | 03:40 |
| s-x-u | vidd: have a look in the preferences | 03:40 |
| vidd | i couldnt remember that page! | 03:40 |
| cellofellow | all preferences does is edit certain parts of about:config | 03:41 |
| vidd | s-x-u, yes...for the last 3 days...ever since i upgraded to gutsy and couldnt read anything in firefox | 03:41 |
| s-x-u | ok but maybe cellofello is able to do it the normal way ? | 03:42 |
| s-x-u | !truth | 03:45 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about truth - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 03:45 |
| cellofellow | I dunno if it's that option (Preferences -> Content -> Fonts), cause it says my default font is DejaVu Serif 16, which should be mongo. It looks about 9. | 03:46 |
| s-x-u | well change it to test | 03:47 |
| === vidd does not know where in about:config to make changes.... | ||
| vidd | i just know im going blind here | 03:48 |
| cellofellow | crazy config file, eh. | 03:48 |
| vidd | =] | 03:48 |
| s-x-u | i'll have a look on about:config | 03:48 |
| vidd | but it wasnt just FF....it was EVERYTHING | 03:48 |
| vidd | its like the gutsy devel think eveyone has 62" plasma's or something | 03:49 |
| cellofellow | changing firefox font did increase size, and screw up layout | 03:49 |
| cellofellow | it's like the firefox fonts are all unclear and cramped. | 03:50 |
| vidd | but i had to upgrade....my system would go on the fritz for no apearent reason | 03:50 |
| s-x-u | ok wait stop hooo | 03:51 |
| vidd | and [ctrl] [alt] [bkspc] would lock up my system | 03:51 |
| s-x-u | it happened when you upgraded to gutsy ? | 03:51 |

| vidd | cellofellow, you 2? | 03:52 |
| s-x-u | i had some issue with 7.10 tribe-3 livecd | 03:52 |
| cellofellow | other fonts are fine | 03:53 |
| vidd | so s-x-u was there a recommended fix? | 03:54 |
| s-x-u | when started from the live cd the fonts are really big while the icons are normal size resulting in unreadable gui is this the same you experienced | 03:55 |
| vidd | no...fonts are increadably small and icons are normal | 03:55 |
| cellofellow | I know Firefox is more readable on the livecd, but that's it. | 03:56 |

| eFullmer | @vidd - I'll have to figure that one out when I reboot, but I am pretty sure it meets minimum requirements. I'll get back to you on that. | 05:21 |
| eFullmer | Okay it's now sitting at the blinking cursor again. Reboot? | 05:22 |
| vidd | how much ram is on the machine....minum to run, or minum to run live cd? | 05:22 |
| vidd | there IS a difference! | 05:22 |
| vidd | =] | 05:22 |
| cellofellow | run you need 64MB, LiveCD needs about 128. | 05:23 |
| eFullmer | I am thinking it might be about 128 MB Ram | 05:23 |
| eFullmer | Almost rebooted into Windows | 05:23 |

| eFullmer | I'm using the i386 live CD. | 05:25 |
| vidd | is the processor an AMD64? | 05:26 |
| eFullmer | Oh sorry. No | 05:27 |
| maxamillion | eFullmer: is the processor an intel core2 duo, intel pentium D, or a xeon by any chance? | 05:27 |
| vidd | then im out of ideas.... | 05:27 |

| === maxamillion didn't read backwards | ||
| maxamillion | eFullmer: sorry, my mistake | 05:28 |

| eFullmer | I understand; I've been using ubuntu for 4 months on my laptop but I've not gotten to the point where I can figure stuff like this out yet :S | 05:28 |
| vidd | eFullmer, maybe you should grab the alt or the mini iso's | 05:29 |
| eFullmer | What's the mini ISO? | 05:30 |
| vidd | less overhead | 05:30 |
| vidd | the mini is a net installer | 05:30 |

| vidd | it grabs all the info right from the internet | 05:31 |
| vidd | but it is a semi-cli install and not the live installer | 05:31 |
| eFullmer | I will probably have to stick with the alt install disk | 05:31 |
| vidd | the best part is...you can CHOOSE which *buntu you want installed (at the end) | 05:32 |

| Jester45 | you just install them via apt | 07:31 |

| Jester45 | you can also use synaptics | 07:32 |

| Thunderman | Yes | 07:34 |
| Jester45 | well | 07:34 |
| Thunderman | But I haven't installed it | 07:34 |
| Jester45 | i think you will need to find .deb or compile from source | 07:34 |
| Jester45 | because its not in the repos | 07:35 |
| Thunderman | And Google Earth is a .bin file | 07:35 |
| Jester45 | have you tried double clicking it | 07:35 |
| Jester45 | and try opening a terminal and typing sudo bash | 07:35 |
| Jester45 | then drag the file into the terminal | 07:36 |
| Jester45 | then press enter and type your password and press enter | 07:36 |

| Thunderman | ok | 07:48 |
| Jester45 | if you wanting to look often | 07:48 |
| Thunderman | 99MB | 07:48 |
| Jester45 | try the system moniter panel plugin | 07:48 |
| Jester45 | swap doesnt get removed untill its filled | 07:48 |
| Thunderman | ok | 07:49 |
| Jester45 | so it will just keep going up | 07:49 |
| Thunderman | yeah | 07:49 |
| Jester45 | its a good thing so that you dont have to keep rewriting to it | 07:49 |
| Jester45 | like if you had 1gb of swap you might be using 10% of ram but 80% of swap | 07:49 |
| Jester45 | there is also something called swapiness that is the amount of swap/ram to use | 07:50 |

| hyper_ch | uptownben: yes | 08:59 |
| hyper_ch | uptownben: however konqueror is a kde app so it will download quite a few kde libraries and also load them when you start konqueror... some people do not like that... I however use just what I think is the best :) | 09:00 |

| uptownben | Ahh.. I see, I dont really want anything heavy | 09:00 |
| uptownben | I'm looking at SMB4K | 09:03 |
| kalikiana | uptownben, Try fusesmb | 09:03 |
| uptownben | I dont see it in Add.remove | 09:03 |
| kalikiana | uptownben, What version do you have? I think it's in Feisty. | 09:07 |
| kalikiana | No idea if it's in add/remove. | 09:07 |
| uptownben | 7.04 | 09:07 |
| kalikiana | Sicne there are not all packages afaik. | 09:07 |
| kalikiana | So fire up synaptic or try 'apt-cache search fusesmb' | 09:08 |
| uptownben | If in add/remove it says "integrates well with kubuntu" does that mean that it will load a whole bunch of KDE libs and crap? | 09:09 |
| kalikiana | uptownben, Depends. Did you find fusesmb there? | 09:10 |
| kalikiana | That one definitely runs w/o any gui, so it doesn't even require X. | 09:11 |

| uptownben | is it lite? | 09:13 |
| ubu | what version of xfce is in xubuntu feisty? | 09:13 |
| === Matt____ [n=chatzill@43-76.202-68.tampabay.res.rr.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| kalikiana | uptownben, Yes it is, it's merely a daemon with no gui. You should look in the wiki or forums. | 09:14 |

| uptownben | OK. Maybe someone can help me. I just used Synaptic to install a package and after it was done my menus disappeared from the top of my desktop | 10:15 |
| uptownben | So I cant access any applications through the GUI | 10:16 |
| uptownben | How do I get my menus back? I see the firefox icon and the "home" folder icon | 10:16 |

| DaBeowulf | Has the resolution changed and are other things missing, too? | 10:27 |
| uptownben | nothing else is missing, the resolution did not change | 10:29 |
| DaBeowulf | Does Ctrl+ESC bring up the Apps menu? | 10:29 |
| uptownben | no | 10:29 |
| uptownben | everything was working fine until I installed pyNeighborhood and smbfs | 10:30 |
| uptownben | using synaptic | 10:30 |
| uptownben | any ideas? | 10:32 |
| uptownben | I was really enjoying XUBUNTU | 10:32 |
| DaBeowulf | No sorry, I'm just a dumb user, too. :P | 10:32 |
| uptownben | anybody | 10:33 |
| zials | hmm? | 10:39 |
| zials | your panels aren't showing? | 10:39 |

| uptownben | with my ChatZilla button in the middle | 10:41 |
| uptownben | (middle left) | 10:42 |
| zials | mhmm... | 10:42 |
| zials | well, you can try killing xfce4-panel, and then running it again | 10:42 |
| uptownben | I already rebooted | 10:43 |
| zials | or create the top panel from scratch x.x | 10:43 |
| uptownben | I heard about the menu.xml fix.. | 10:43 |
| zials | never heard of it... there is a panels.xml | 10:43 |
| zials | because the menu.xml is for the applications menu | 10:44 |

| Pumpernickel | ~/ is a representation of /home/youruser/ - using both is redundant. | 12:22 |
