[11:34] martinez: u mean the desktop is frozen, and doesn't srespond? [11:35] Ben_Cs: respond, but i have some junks [11:36] Ben_Cs: xfce is runnig, i can run programs, i have everything, but if i close the window, part of this window is on the desktop [11:36] Ben_Cs: i cannot delete it, it is unrepondable, something like wallpaper [11:37] i see [11:37] Ben_Cs: olny if i change desktop wallpaper, i can delete this junks [11:38] well had the same on Winblows on old comp. i think it's too old to know it doesn't refresh or something. common on old pc's. maybe u need to use a lighter distro? i can recommend [11:38] Ben_Cs: what can i do? [11:38] what are the specs of your pc? [11:39] 128MG, disc 8GB, Intel family 8, 133MHz, graph: Savage Inc 4 === predaeus [n=predaeus@chello212186005030.401.14.vie.surfer.at] has joined #xubuntu [11:40] ok [11:40] martinez: xfce needs stronger specs to work right. it needs 300mhz [11:41] what you propose? [11:41] martinez: i recomend to u "fluxbuntu" [11:41] fluxbox is the desktop manager and it's lighter then xfce [11:41] u can ask more in #fluxbuntu [11:41] ok, thx [11:41] no problem [11:41] but, i have another question... [11:42] shoot [11:42] can i run programs (especially simple games) on fluxbunut? [11:42] and what with KDE and gnome apps? [11:42] if they are simple enough for your pc, then there's no problem [11:42] ok [11:43] where is fluxuntu> i didn't found on ubuntu site [11:43] kde and gnome apps are heavy. but fluxbuntu runs kde and gnome apps with no problem [11:43] fluxbuntu isn't official yet [11:43] is it stable? [11:43] http://fluxbuntu.org/ [11:43] yes it is [11:43] i explain [11:44] fluxbuntu is ubuntu dapper (6.06) that uses fluxbox as desktop manager. so if dapper is stable enough for you, then fluxbuntu is as well [11:44] ok? [11:44] :) [11:45] ok [11:46] i used fluxbuntu on an old pc and like it alot [11:47] ids drapper stable and ok? [11:48] and what's about Small Danm Linux? can i run desktop there and games? [11:49] yes. dapper has long term support. meaning it's the most stable realease of current ubuntu realeases [11:50] i used damn small linux aswell. IF your pc doesn't work smooth enough with fluxbuntu, then try damn small linux. it's even lighter. [11:50] you can run desktop and games [11:51] can i install DSL with desktop (i have small experience) [11:51] well, gotta go. good luck martinez.

[02:13] ohhh I see [02:13] thanks [02:14] wow now my panel all lit up and colorful like a christmas tree, stylish Sheep [02:15] you can disable the colors [02:15] eh?

[02:17] gerro: logitech? [02:17] don't think so [02:17] It works great so far, just I'd like a bit more accuracy [02:17] you can add Option "resolution" "foo" to your mouse definition in xorg.conf [02:18] why is it called resolution and foo?

[02:25] hey do yall know how on some peoples desktops they have an object as the background that they can click on, say like a large button for terminal [02:25] how do you do that [02:26] albert: when you right click it does something already just set left click to do something and make it respond with something besides a menu [02:27] gerro:let me see if i can do that and if thats what i mean [02:27] albert: are you refering to how on fluxbox it displays the start menu on left click?

[02:28] gerro: i mean as the background like the desktop background there can be like a large icon, looking as if it was part of the background instead of an actual icon that you can click on [02:29] albert: you mean you want to disable shading and other characteristics that make icons stand out from background? or make invisible icons? [02:29] just up transparency to max lol [02:29] gerro : no im sorry its hard to explain, maybe i can find an example for you hold up [02:30] albert: desklets?

[02:36] albert: should already be there able to do it [02:36] gerro: yeah possibly [02:38] albert: but why not just get a background?
