| jessejazza | Hi - hoping someone can help. I have ubuntu 6.10 installed on a compaq p3 1ghz 512mb. Thought i'd try XFCE as the PC is a little older than most. However i get the bug report - there seems to be a file that doesn't download. Is this a known problem? | 07:49 |

| zoredache | jessejazza: are you trying to do this from synaptic or the commandline? | 07:53 |
| jessejazza | synaptic | 07:53 |
| zoredache | you might try an 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' from a terminal | 07:54 |
| hyper__ch | but first close synaptic | 07:55 |
| zoredache | jessejazza: do you have any nonstandard repositories? it is also possible that you have a sources.list that is creating a situation that makes xfce uninstallable | 07:55 |

| jessejazza | is there any difference between the two. Synaptic i thought was the better route as it's visual and lets you know the dependencies. | 07:56 |
| zoredache | jessejazza: but the command line gives you more detail about errors | 07:57 |
| zoredache | if everything is working then the gui is fine... but when things aren't working sometimes you need to see what is actually happening | 07:57 |

| jessejazza | I'll give it a try [i'm using a spare PC to learn about ubuntu before i fully transfer] . In the meantime do any of you use another environment - fluxbox or ... One other thing with apps like evolution is it possible to remove it as a default from ubuntu - when i tried it synaptic came up with ubuntu-desktop as a dependency... and i guessed that it wasn't possible. | 08:00 |
| === habu [n=skunk@62-30-29-48.cable.ubr06.wolv.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| zoredache | you can remove ubuntu-desktop if you like. the *buntu-desktop packages are only there to help people get a selection of common software, and to make upgrades easier. If you want to removesomething, and it is the only thing keeping the package you want remove in place, then remove the *buntu-desktop package. | 08:03 |
| habu | i've lost the top and bottom task bars off my xubuntu desktop, how would i get them back? | 08:04 |
| zoredache | habu: do they come back after a logout/login? | 08:04 |
| habu | zoredache, no | 08:04 |
| habu | i've managed to create launchers for xchat and firefox. thats how i got here. | 08:05 |
| jessejazza | zoredadche: if i removed ubuntu-desktop wouldn't it then remove all the apps in the package. I wanted to get rid of evolution as i use thunderbird and wasn't sure what would happen if i did | 08:09 |

| hyper__ch | Shaba1: thats good :) | 08:21 |
| Shaba1 | is there a way to send a shortcut of a web page to the desktop as there is in windows | 08:21 |
| Shaba1 | I right click on a page and use send link but sometimes that works and sometimes it does not | 08:22 |
| === Shaba1 [n=sniperlt@ip68-101-160-110.sd.sd.cox.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| hyper__ch | Shaba1: I guess that depends on the browser you are using | 08:23 |
| Shaba1 | firefox | 08:23 |
| Shaba1 | that is what came with this xubuntu installation and it works for me so far | 08:23 |
| hyper__ch | Shaba1: search if there is an add-on to FF that does it | 08:24 |
| hyper__ch | http://addons.mozilla.org | 08:25 |
| Shaba1 | thanks | 08:25 |
| Shaba1 | ok second thing | 08:25 |
| Shaba1 | is there a convient way of seeing my hard disk usage in a pie chart format | 08:26 |
| Shaba1 | Thundar just mystifies me. | 08:26 |
| hyper__ch | well, if you select the HD on the left it will just tell you in the bottom status bar how much free space you have | 08:28 |
| nonlocal | Shaba1: you can also try 'df' at the command line.. no piegraph, but... | 08:29 |
| Shaba1 | but what | 08:30 |
| hyper__ch | setting up a tor server now :) | 08:30 |

| jessejazza | be grateful if someone could advise. when i put a floppy disk into the PC - it seems to take ages reading it and then a disk icon appears on the desktop. Is that what ubuntu refers to as mounting a disk. It doesn't seem to just read a disk like windoze does. | 08:46 |

| jessejazza | "New users come to Linux after spending their lives using an OS where the end-user's needs are paramount, and "user friendly" and "customer focus" are considered veritable Holy Grails. And they suddenly find themselves using an OS that still relies on 'man' files, the command-line, hand-edited configuration files, and Google. And when they complain, they don't get coddled or promised better... | 09:09 |
| jessejazza | hyper__ch: i imagine this bit from the link was meant for me - i think you probably had a bit of help early on. I've got two good books but they leave out some of the basics. I think it's a bit arrogant really. | 09:09 |
| jessejazza | ...things: They get bluntly shown the door." | 09:09 |
| TheSheep | jessejazza: it should only read the directory structure off the disk, it shouldn't take so long | 09:11 |
| TheSheep | jessejazza: you can type 'dmesg' in a terminal and see if there were read errors, they might take some time | 09:12 |
| jessejazza | thanks - so mine could be a problem! But when it 'mounts' does an icon go on the desktop? | 09:13 |
| TheSheep | jessejazza: actually the floppy icon should be on the desktop all the time, since the computer has no way of telling whether there is a diskette in the drive or not | 09:14 |
| TheSheep | jessejazza: uless it's a mac | 09:14 |
| Ben_Cs | TheSheep: nac checks all the time? | 09:14 |
| Ben_Cs | *mac | 09:14 |
| TheSheep | Ben_Cs: no, mac doesn't have a button for ejecting them :) | 09:15 |
| Ben_Cs | who uses floppy nowadays anyway? | 09:15 |
| TheSheep | Ben_Cs: they come in handy for booting sometimes | 09:15 |
| Ben_Cs | most pc's boot off CD or USB | 09:16 |
| TheSheep | Ben_Cs: we have some older boxen without a cd and not booting from usb | 09:16 |
| Ben_Cs | i see | 09:16 |
| jessejazza | USE FLOPPIES! ... well i don't - but the portable writer, the USB portable floppy, and 3.5 drive don't seem to work at present. So i'm trying to find out why! | 09:17 |
| jessejazza | If i'm some older boxen - how is it you folk use xubuntu. | 09:21 |
