Pumpernickel!language | IG02:36
ubotuIG: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.02:36
PumpernickelIt looks like you don't have ntfs support.02:36
PumpernickelNtfs-3g is the current best option.02:37
IGwell02:39
IGdo I need to install a package of some kind ?02:39
IGI tried mount -t ntfs /dev/sde1 /mnt/whore02:39
IGShould also note that this is on a playstaion 302:41
PumpernickelNot having ntfs support in a PS3 release wouldn't surprise me.02:45
PumpernickelSo, yes, if the ntfs-3g package is available for the PS3 port, you would likely need to install it yourself.02:45

Pumpernickel!fuse02:49
ubotuFUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems02:49

vidd_laptopxubu, what you are talking about are the installed apps...placed based on some organizational methodi have yet to comprehend....05:07
vidd_laptopyou can only edit the root menu or add new launcers05:07
emdashxubu: there has to be a .desktop entry in /usr/share/applications in order for it to appear in the menu05:13
emdashthere's also the menu editor in the start menu05:15
emdashapplications menu > settings > menu editor05:15
emdashhowever that just edits the root level05:17
emdashbut you could use it to add custom launchers, if you wanted05:17

s|kwhere's a good place to mount a new hard drive?05:23
kalikiana_xubu, You can also place launchers/ desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications05:23
kalikiana_s|k, Usually /mnt, less often /media05:23
s|kthanks05:23
kalikiana_Incidentally /media is an invention of ubuntu.05:24
s|kI had no idea05:24

mattgyver83Thats what i would do, in fact, its what i did04:37
Thundermanok04:37
mattgyver83But... you might be able to.... hold on one second04:37
mattgyver83Yeah, i think thats what your going to have to do.  It doesnt look like package management is an option for an update.04:39
mattgyver83at least not from what i can tell04:39
mattgyver83But im not quite use to xubuntu yet.  I use it in limited amounts on one of my machines.04:40

mattgyver83In your case, if all you did was install 6.x and didnt install any packages or install any drivers or anything it should work fine.  Otherwise it looks like its a headache if your machine is already 'configured'04:43

axelm7hello09:56
j1mchi axelm709:56
axelm7My father in law has an old P1 133 128MB RAM and I am thinking of removing Windoze and installing xubuntu on it. Would that hardware be able to run firefox 2?09:57
axelm7hello j1mc09:57
j1mcunfortunately, no.09:57
xubuMinimum Hardware09:58
xubu    * Pentium 233 MHz (Recommended: Pentium 500MHz or greater)09:58
xubu    * 64 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater)09:58
xubu    * 52 MB hard drive space09:58
j1mcit may be possible to install xubuntu on that machine using the alternate installer (as it meets the bare minimum requirements of ram)09:58
j1mcbut... yes, the processor is too slow.09:58
axelm7that means it will run... just not fast enough, right?09:59
j1mcaxelm7: well, yeah, i guess so.  how much hard drive space does it have?10:00
axelm7it has an 8gb hd which I will format10:01
j1mcok.  that's plenty of space.10:01
=== highvolt2ge [n=highvolt@dsl-241-191-170.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #xubuntu
j1mcaxelm7: you would definitely need to use the alternate install cd10:01
axelm7I have just looked at the POST screen and it says P1 233Mhz :)10:01
j1mcthe regular "livecd" will not work with 128mb of ram10:02
axelm7Pentium-MMX10:02
hyper_chaxelm7: I installed it on a notebook similar to those techs and its really slow... you'd rather go for something like DSL or FeatherLinux10:02
=== j1mc would agree
axelm7DSL is not friendly enough for this particular user10:02
axelm7I've never used FeatherLinux though10:03
hyper_chaxelm7: well, even OOo run on that notebook but it is really SLOW10:03
hyper_chaxelm7: is the problem with DSL the GUI?10:03
j1mcaxelm7: i would probably even use xubuntu dapper drake over feisty fawn... dapper drake would run better on hardware that old.10:04
axelm7This low end garbage PC was running XP SP2 until 2 weeks ago reasonably well until a windows update patch killed it, now it won't boot any more10:04
j1mcit's a little lighter10:04
axelm7so I guess that if it runs xp sp2 it will run a light linux distribution10:05
=== txwikinger [n=txwiking@sblug/member/txwikinger] has joined #xubuntu
hyper_chaxelm7: or wait... I think the notebook had only 64mb ram10:05
hyper_chaxelm7: give it a shot with xubuntu then10:05
axelm7hyper_ch: 7.04 or 7.10 beta?10:05
hyper_chit was edgy10:06
axelm7I meant, should I use 7.04 or 7.10 beta?10:06
axelm7sorry, I am not familiar with ubuntu, I use fedora since version 210:06
j1mc7.04 would be preferred over 7.10 tribe 410:06
xubuacelm7: try  installing xubuntu and loading dillo for the browser10:07
axelm7tribe 4 is not stable enough yet?10:07
xubuaxelm710:07
hyper_chaxelm7: well, I'd recommend to try out 7.0410:07
axelm7xubu, firefox and ie7 were reasonably fast on xp, I suppose it will be ok on linux10:07
hyper_chaxelm7: and if that is not working then Dapper Drake 6.0610:07
axelm7ok, I'll try xubuntu 7.04 then and see how that goes. Thanks people10:08
xubuaxelm7: if your worried about dsl not being user friendly id aviod the alpha10:08
axelm7My father in law is computer illiterate and he does not speak english, I can't even get him to use the VCR10:09
axelm7I don't think DSL is for him10:09
hyper_chaxelm7: what does he uses the computer for?10:09
axelm7he only speaks spanish, and I see that ubuntu-es has a lot of users10:09
xubuaxelm7: likewise neither would 7.10, alphas have too many pitfalls10:09
axelm7I am trying to get him to learn how to use a browser10:10
hyper_chaxelm7: at least he knows what a browser is ;)10:10
xubuaxelm7: did you check out http://www.guadalinex.org//10:11
axelm7he already has a yahoo webmail account, and sends and receives mail! that's a big improvement for 2 weeks using his cimputer until M$ killed it with windoze update10:11
xubuaxelm7: spanish derivative of ubuntu10:11
hyper_chaxelm7: you'll have to show him the spanish ubuntu support channel :=10:11
axelm7I do not want to reinstall XP on it because it will die again when windoze update runs, and windows with updates is not safe enough, it will get full of crapware quickly10:12
axelm7sorry, I meant WITHOUT updates10:12
hyper_chwindows is not even safe enough with all current updates ;)10:13
hyper_chotherwise you wouldn't need to hog it down with AV and firewall10:13
axelm7This machine did not have AV, and I installed firefox with NoScript, That was reasonably safe for what he needs10:14

axelm7My main problem moving him over to linux is the MSN client. pidgin has major issues with the MSN network and everybody in the family uses MSN10:17
axelm7I guess we'll have to switch over to skype which runs GREAT on my fedora laptop10:18
SrRavenaxelm7,try amsn10:18
hyper_chaxelm7: how about aMSN?10:18
SrRavenit does not have all similar features,but its useable (crap compared to msn live)10:18
axelm7have you ever used amsn, it's a torture10:18
axelm7IMO amsn is horrible to use, but it is more compatible then pidgin with MSN network10:20
axelm7does xbuntu support spanish locales?10:22
axelm7xubuntu10:23

KPenn06Just a general question: I'm trying to use skype but I cannot get my microphone to work10:24

Photocopyim going to need some help but i see that this room is dead as, say, i dunno, any rabbit that lived 400 years ago10:30
hyper_chPhotocopy: well, download the manual for the router from your router's hardware manufacturer....10:31
riciPhotocopy: it's not really an xubuntu question afaics10:31
Photocopyoh god10:31
