[01:44] (basically the customize panel option in the menu you get from right clicking the panel) [01:46] malarame, my main problem is i can't seem to find a driver for it. I tried the restricted drivers, but it doesn't detect. The card is from 1998, and the machine is 400mhz, so I was hoping i might get a bit better desktop performance, but getting a driver for the card on here looks like it's going to be a bit of work [01:47] the only driver i can find that specifically mentions it is for suse linux [01:47] hmm [01:47] i don't know then [01:47] spaz: i heard about that bug in gutsy, i don't think it's been resolved yet [01:47] :-( [01:48] :( [01:48] someone who knows more than me will have to help you out [01:50] spaz: try [01:50] xork, try what?

[01:55] you should see my old desktop :-s [01:55] i liked it at first, it got old fast though [01:56] and i khate khow kthey kname kthings [01:56] all those krappy k puns?

[01:56] when you're scrolling through a list of programs to find one, i personally like to be able to sort things alphabetically [01:57] it sorta defeats the whole purpose to have everything start with one letter [01:57] Unlikely, for CPU bound things. You may notice an increase in interface responsiveness. [01:57] Yeah, the main thing that's killing me now is a sluggish interface [01:57] i have sluggish interface problems too, my xorg process takes up a ton of my processor whenever i do anything [01:58] O_o [01:58] ouch [01:58] especially moving or resizing windows or scrolling windows === bart__ [n=bart@210.213.168.24] has joined #xubuntu [01:58] seriously, xorg jumps to 100% cpu and everything slows to a crawl [01:58] yeah, i'm pretty much looking for anything that can speed that up. xgears pukes on this thing, which is sad === ubuntuman [n=Rey@ppp-71-137.33-151.iol.it] has joined #xubuntu [02:00] Pumpernickel, do you know where i could download this driver? === ubuntuman [n=Rey@ppp-71-137.33-151.iol.it] has left #xubuntu [] [02:00] !info nvidia-glx-legacy [02:00] nvidia-glx-legacy: NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'legacy' driver.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate [04:09] Tx [04:09] probably 256MB is not enough for the regular installer (but better check yourself, I forgot). There is an alternative text installer (with wizard). [04:10] Tx. But can it instal on a Pre 2000 Bios [04:11] I don't know. [04:11] admin__, check out this too, no clue if it has anything to do with the prob you have but.. http://www.ubuntux.org/ubuntu-7-problem [04:11] did you get anything else but (initramfs) ? [04:11] Tx [04:11] you might want to try the alternate installer anyway.. [04:12] admin__: so long as the bios can boot a cd image I don't know of any other limited. Unless things have radically change very recently, 256M is plenty of ram for the Desktop installer. However, the alternate does generally give less problems.

[04:57] as i recall, it was simply mount /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mountpoint -o loop [04:58] the thing is, last time i checked, there was no support for .ccd, .img, and other common-in-windows cd image formats [04:58] if you have one of those, i recommend googling for format2iso, like mdf2iso === triptec [n=triptec@85.8.5.107.static.se.wasadata.net] has joined #xubuntu [04:59] and hmm, if you prefer a graphical interface, gisomount is one option (don't know if there are many others) [04:59] hmm... i found something more like daemon tools acetoneteam.org ... but for some reason their server doesn't work [04:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3284756 [05:00] i found this thread about it [05:00] what bittorrent client does ppl prefer?? === cellofellow [n=josh@209-193-108-97.mammothnetworks.com] has joined #xubuntu [05:05] rtorrent [05:05] non-graphical though [05:05] haven't found a graphical one i'd like [05:11] Tx Guys, Will try [05:13] qbittorrent is cool [05:18] Any idea how ot get name of ISO on CD [05:18] Don't have linux installed [05:23] can someome help me make a router?
