cjehi, I am chatting with someone on a LUG list, and they are suggesting Xubuntu.  I am wondering if this is a good IRC community or newbies?  Or is this community better for more experienced users?02:06
Jester45its good for all users02:08
cjecool02:09
Jester45if your experienced you can help others if not you can get help and become experienced02:09
cjecool.02:09
Jester45it does get quite in here sometimes02:09
cjeJester45, do you think that Xubuntu is good for newbies?02:09
cjeheh02:09
Jester45yea02:09
cjeI haven't used any XFCE GUI in about 3 weeks, and that was for an old copy of SUSE 10.0 on top of a 750 mhz box.  Someone on this LUG is interested in starting a newbie on a 450 mhz notebook with like 384 MB of RAM.02:12
cjeWe are just trying to figure out if that newbie is going to be frustrated with audio and / or video.02:12

cjeI am going to recommend that he send his newbie friend here to IRC if you folks think that is smart.  I have found that IRC is a good support mechanism, but I wanted to see what you all thought.02:13
nikolamHi I installed Seamonkey on Xubuntu 7.04 64bit. It uses /usr/local/seamonkey directory for install. Before, I used to make a link with sudo ln -s /usr/lical/seamonkey/seamonkey /usr/bin/seamonkey to make it work system-wide. Now I got message "seamonkey: error while loading shared libraries: libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" but it CAN star if I go to /usr/local/seamonkey dir and start it with ".seamonkey" How02:18
nikolam to make apropriate link to /usr/bin/ to make SM work system-wide?02:18
Jester45cje: here and the forums are good places02:21

cjeJester45, Xubuntu or Ubuntu forums?  Or both?02:22
cjeJester45, linky, please?  Thanks02:22
nikolamI just make it work by putting the scipt: cd /usr/local/seamonkey/  ./seamonkey and made it executable in the name of usr/bin/seamonkey . Do you think it is safe? :)02:23

mikubuntuhelp! got two issues i need to resolve on an old box that i set up for mom.  most important is wireless networking, as the box doesn't have etho port, but it does have two usb ports... i bought a belkin wireless g usb adapter, but couldn't make connect.  several weeks ago i gave my friend an old box and we put xubuntu on it.  she bought a linksys router and usb adapter and we enabled it in...05:17
mikubuntu...two licks, right out of the box... she lent me that adapter today to bring home and see if i could get connected with it, but no luck... can someone help me determine what the prob might be?05:17
tonyyarussomikubuntu: for a usb wireless adapter, you may be looking at needing ndiswrapper05:22
tonyyarusso!wifi | mikubuntu05:22
ubotumikubuntu: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs05:22
mikubuntui don't even get the same behavior from xubuntu when i try to config the wireless connection, but i'm pretty sure this box of mom's and the one i gave my friend were both loaded off the same alt install disk...05:23
mikubuntutonyyarusso: ya, i have looked at the ddiswrapper page, and i think it's kinda over my head unless i can get someone to walk me thru it... why would the linksys adapter work out of the box on one machine, and then not on another???05:24
tonyyarussomikubuntu: wait, it works on one?05:25
tonyyarussoerm, dunno...05:25
mikubuntuya, the linksys usb adapter works on subuntu's computer, and auto dchp'd right off the bat, but when i put it on mom's machine today; no dice.... arrrrrrgggggghhhhhh :(05:26
mikubuntubrb05:26
mikubuntutonyyarusso: the machines are not the same, but with the same os image, they should behave the same shouldn't they?05:30
tonyyarussomikubuntu: maybe.  I'm not sure.05:31
mikubuntuhow soon will gutsy stable be released? i wonder if there is better connectivity with the new release ...05:33
