Catoptromancyand re-ask later03:22
pleia2Zach_07: are you sure you're in the right channel? the wiki explains that Xubuntu (what this  channel is for) is something different than the xbox thing03:22
pleia2the xubuntu this channel is about doesn't have drive names03:22
Zach_07Well this channel is probably not for the xbox version: PIKI03:22
pleia2like e:\ and such03:22
Catoptromancye:\ isnt labelled e: in linux03:23
Catoptromancywell it could be03:23
pleia2nope03:23

I already know what I'll do for partitioning, but I don't know what else I need to know.05:11

TheSheepsnax: yes of course, here is your explanation: it doesn't08:33
snaxinstalling xubuntu-desktop pulls in significant portions of gnome08:34
TheSheepsnax: like?08:34
snaxgnome-panel, gnome-games, gnome-utils, gnome-applets08:35
snaxand tomboy, which in turn pulls in all of mono08:35
TheSheepsnax: no, these are definitely not in xubuntu08:36
TheSheepsnax: I have a fresh install here08:36
snaxtell that to aptitude08:36
TheSheepsnax: well, learn to use it properly08:36
snaxapt-get is also keen installing those packages08:37
snaxdo I need to disable installing suggested packages?08:37
TheSheepsnax: my guess is that it installs some package that has two alternatives, and because you already have (some) ubuntu installation, it picks the alternative wrong, pulling in some gnome app08:39

TheSheep!anyone08:51
ubotuA large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?08:51
thhpGood point... my issue is that XFCE doesn't retain the "manage desktop" setting across logins08:53
thhpI installed xubuntu from Ubuntu via "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop", btw08:53
thhpWhat I get at login is my XFCE desktop, briefly, and then my old gnome one08:54
thhpit appears Nautilus is autorunning and trampling the XFCE settings08:54

Pres-GasMake sure to update your packages as well02:26
noah1989what is your specific problem?02:26
student002whenever I try to install anything02:26
Pres-GasYou should be able to install whatever envoronment with whatever *buntu distro.02:26
student002it says "depends:..."but it is not installable02:27
student002and at the end it says E: broken packages02:27
noah1989did you update the package list?02:27
student002apt-get update?02:27
noah1989dunno, maybe?02:28
student002I tried that..it does all this stuff then it says "error: http://download.tuxfamil.org feisty release: the following signature couldn't be verified because the public key is not available02:28

noah1989^^02:29
student002..02:31
student002okay I removed the tuxofamily repo from sources.list02:32
Pres-GasAnother thing is that third party repos can occasionally break things02:32

Pres-GasIt could explain the messages you are getting....unresolved dependencies and whatnot.02:33
student002Pres-Gas, so how do I repair them?02:33
Pres-Gaswell, if you have removed the repo, you could try "apt-get dist-upgrade", student002.02:33
Pres-GasSince you have already apt-get update-ed02:34
student002k 1 of the packages it wants to upgrade is mozilla-thunderbird02:35
student002and it says 403 access forbidden E: unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing02:35
student002gonna try to run it again with --fix-missing02:36
student002Pres-Gas, that worked..it upgraded 3 packages..But I still get that broken packages message when I try to install xfce402:37
Pres-GasSo, you are running reg ubuntu now?02:39
student002I tried 'apt-get install xfdesktop4' but it gives me an error saying "E: Package xfdesktop4 has no installation candidate"02:40
student002I've been running xubuntu02:40
student002any ideas?02:43

TABASCOHello again02:47
TABASCOMaybe you remember I asked yesterday about the system requirements of Xubuntu02:48
TABASCOanyone of you said it is possible to install it on a 2gb hd02:48
TABASCObut now the installer aborts and if you configure the partitions manually he says that he needs 2gb diskspace for the root-partition02:49
TABASCOand 256 mb for the swap02:49
TABASCOwhat can I do now?02:49
grazieI'd say 2G was a bit tight for a standard install. 2.5G + swap minimum (for feisty) in my opinion. Which install cd do you have?02:51
TABASCOgutsy gibbon beta02:52
TABASCOTo install Xubuntu, you need 1.5 GB of free space on your hard disk.02:53
TABASCOthis is what the xubuntu page says02:53
TABASCOwell wait a minute02:53
TABASCOhow can I find out which version of xubuntu I actually use?02:54
graziewell it's it not wrong for older distros, but feisty (and I think gutsy too) need a bit more space. That figure gives you no room to do updates02:55
TABASCOwhat about dapper?02:55
TABASCObecause it's a laptop, and I have only that 2 gigabyte disk02:55
TABASCOdell is going to ship a bigger one but for the moment I have only that small..02:56
TheSheepTABASCO: you asked how much it takes after install, and I said 'about 2GB'02:56
TheSheepTABASCO: it needs some free space to operate, obviously02:56
grazieTABASCO, for version one way > cat /etc/issue02:57
TABASCOI asked about if I can install it on a 2 gb disk :)02:57
TheSheepTABASCO: you can do the server install (which will install the base system only) and then install xfce and whatever applications you need02:57
TABASCOmhm, yes..02:57
TheSheepTABASCO: then I didn't understand you, I'm sorry02:57
TABASCOno problem :)02:57
TheSheepTABASCO: I think you can only do the server install with the alternate cd02:58
TABASCOmhm, that is going to be a bit complicated..02:58
TABASCOwell, it's not me who is going to install it but a friend..02:58
TABASCOdoes anyone knows about dapper?02:59
TABASCOcan I install xubuntu on a 2gb disk with dapper?02:59
TheSheepTABASCO: it doesn't grow that much from version to version02:59
TheSheepTABASCO: I'd say it's about the same, maybe several hundreds MB less02:59
TABASCOTheSheep: Well, for which version are the system requirements on the website?03:00
TheSheepTABASCO: for the current stable, in this case feisty03:00
TABASCOTheSheep: But the feisty installer says that the root partition requires 2 gigabytes03:01
TheSheepTABASCO: use the manual partitioning03:02
TheSheepTABASCO: it should fit03:02
Catoptromancyheh03:03

NullNamehey you guys.....if I used ssh to connect to a box on my LAN and downloaded a torrent, through ssh.  Would this hide that i'm downloading a torrent from my isp?....what if I also renamed the file to a "schoolwork.zip"08:28
winkerbeanTheSheep: Heh.  Thanx just the same.08:29
NullNamethe reason being with ssh that it is encrypted08:29
TheSheepNullName: it hides the fact that you're transmitting the file itself, but downloading the *content* to which that file points is an entirely different thing08:30
TheSheepNullName: try reading about the torrent protocol on wikipedia, for example08:30
NullNamethanks08:32
NullNameyea I'm reading about ssh on wikipedia...and to my understanding it hides it...so I have to also encrypt the file that it points to?08:33
NullNamereading about torrent will help me understand how the content is stored?08:34
NullNameI mean I think I understand how torrents work.08:34
TheSheepNullName: admins don't usually punish copying of the toreent files themselves, they detect downloading of the content via the torrent protocol08:35
NullNamebut that can't detect that I'm using the torrent protocol if I'm using ssh on the lan?08:37
NullNamemy other computer has the torrent client and is recieiving the file.  I'm just controlling the torrent client.08:38
NullNamethen later I will transfer the file to my box08:38
