| Rynux91 | hi | 01:16 |
|---|---|---|
| Rynux91 | is it possible to get Xubuntu to dual boot with another linux distro? | 01:17 |
| vidd | yes | 01:17 |
| vidd | is the other linux distro already installed? | 01:18 |
| Rynux91 | no | 01:18 |
| vidd | if the other distro WAS already installed...the default install would detect it, and allow you to "make room" or use an open partition.... | 01:19 |
| vidd | then when grub was installed and configured, it would add the other distro to its list | 01:19 |
| vidd | just like it does for that redman OS company | 01:19 |
| vidd | otherwise...if you install *buntu first.... then the other distro would have to detect it, and add it to the bootloader | 01:21 |

| Rynux91 | so....if I install the other distro first, then install Xubuntu...it'll work fine? | 01:35 |
| Rynux91 | the other distro is puppy linux btw | 01:37 |
| vidd | should be fine.... | 01:41 |
| vidd | if you do the reverse....it should STILL be fine...but i may not be able to help if it isnt | 01:42 |
| vidd | =] | 01:42 |
| Rynux91 | ok | 01:43 |
| Rynux91 | I'll test it and see what happens... | 01:45 |
| Rynux91 | not like this is a primary use computer in my house anyway.. | 01:45 |

| fiz1 | i have XP on the computer and i dont want to mess up the mbr | 10:03 |

| TheSheep | fiz1: just don't tell the installer to install grub on your hdd | 10:03 |
| fiz1 | hmm | 10:04 |
| fiz1 | last time i tried it, it just did it automatically | 10:04 |

| Boneless | hi | 11:07 |
| Boneless | i would like to know, does xubuntu have a desktop manager, or is it only a window manager? | 11:08 |
| Boneless | in the latter case, are there any compatible lightweight desktop managers? | 11:08 |
| warbler | What does a desktop manager do that a window manager doesn't? | 11:11 |
| Boneless | it's just for having icons on the desktop | 11:14 |
| Boneless | they are handy, after all | 11:14 |
| hyper___ch | xfce is a desktop environment | 11:16 |
| Boneless | is it? | 11:16 |
| hyper___ch | yes | 11:16 |
| Boneless | all the screenshots i've seen don't have icons on the desktop | 11:16 |

| Boneless | now that I think of it... | 11:43 |
| Boneless | it there a way to convert a NTFS partition in a ext3 - ReiserFS - whatever? | 11:43 |
| hyper_ch | Boneless: delete the partition and recreate it ;) | 11:43 |
| Boneless | I supposed so :( | 11:44 |
| TheSheep | hyper_ch: no need t delete it, just format | 11:44 |
| Boneless | well, the end result is just the same anyway... | 11:44 |
| hyper_ch | :) | 11:45 |
| hyper_ch | if you have ntfs partitions that are not fully use, you could also resize them | 11:45 |
| TheSheep | but less opportunities to make a mistake | 11:45 |
| Boneless | anyway | 11:46 |
| Boneless | is xubuntu 7.10 coming out on the same day as "regular" ubuntu? | 11:46 |
| hyper_ch | I guess so | 11:46 |
| Boneless | compatibility with Gnome and KDE apps is total, right? | 11:47 |
| hyper_ch | yes | 11:48 |
| Boneless | are my hardware specs enough for it anyway? using Gnome, everything is... well... sluggish | 11:49 |
| hyper_ch | those apps will be more sluggish I tend to think | 11:50 |
| Boneless | no, my greatest concern | 11:51 |
| Boneless | is not with gnome-specific apps | 11:51 |
| Boneless | actually, i don't really use gnome specific apps... the programs i use most are firefox, amsn, audacity, audacious, cd burning utilities... | 11:52 |
| Boneless | which may be GTK apps... but isn't XFCE based on GTK? | 11:52 |
| hyper_ch | it is | 11:53 |
| Boneless | so I shouldn't have any problems... since the GTK libraries are preloaded to work with XFCE right? | 11:55 |
| hyper_ch | depends on the libraries | 11:55 |
| Boneless | what do you mean? | 11:56 |

| hraefn | hello all | 04:15 |
| hraefn | anyone here to answer a question/give an opinion? | 04:16 |
| d1n0 | hraefn: yeah, probably anyone here is able to do that :-) | 04:16 |
| hraefn | hehe | 04:16 |
| hraefn | good | 04:16 |
| hraefn | well, here it goes: | 04:16 |
| hraefn | I'm running Xubuntu 7.10, and am okay with it...however, I have an older machine, and I'm looking to pare my OS down to the minimum | 04:17 |
| hraefn | I'm wondering if there is another Ubuntu derivative for older machines | 04:17 |
| hraefn | or if anyone could suggest a more light-weight Linux distro | 04:18 |
| TheSheep | fluxbuntu | 04:18 |
| hraefn | if that's allowed on here ;) | 04:18 |
| TheSheep | dsl is pretty small | 04:18 |
| hraefn | yeah | 04:18 |
| TheSheep | archy can be easily cut down to size | 04:18 |
| hraefn | I've got a P4 laptop | 04:18 |
| TheSheep | archlinux | 04:18 |
| hraefn | okay | 04:18 |
| TheSheep | that's all I tried | 04:18 |
| d1n0 | i think xubuntu is what you are looking for =P | 04:19 |
| hraefn | I've been scouring the nets looking for any suggestions/help, but I figured I'd come here and ask | 04:19 |
| hraefn | hehe | 04:19 |
| hraefn | I like Xubuntu, as it's easy for me to use, but I think I might want to move up the experience ladder and dive a bit further into Linux with Fluxbox/Blackbox... | 04:19 |
| hraefn | tried them, and like them | 04:19 |
| hraefn | but need to adjust to them | 04:19 |
| hraefn | anyway, thanks for the suggestions | 04:20 |
| hraefn | :) | 04:20 |
| hraefn | hmmm...while I'm here...X Windows System libraries and headers would be found in which package??? | 04:33 |
| TheSheep | xorg-dev probably | 04:33 |
| hraefn | good assumption...I'll plow through synaptic and look for it... | 04:34 |

| xjkx | is xubuntu's kernel different than ubuntu's? i can boot xubuntu's livecd, but i can't boot ubuntu's | 11:32 |
| === mindframe [n=mindfram@ip72-207-244-33.br.br.cox.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Pumpernickel | No, but the memory requirements are slightly lower with Xubuntu. | 11:33 |
| Pumpernickel | Depending on where the boot process is failing, that could be the problem. | 11:33 |
| Pumpernickel | It could also just be a badly burnt cd. | 11:34 |
| xjkx | nonono, i know, but when i say i can't boot, i really mean it, not to get the x up | 11:34 |
| xjkx | it gives some errors of I/O which i believe that it just doesn't have the proper module to my IDE hd | 11:35 |
| xjkx | on other distro i had the same I/O problem just before i recompiled the kernel | 11:35 |
| === total_NOT_HERE is now known as totalwormface | ||
| xjkx | on ubuntu the problem is that i have the I/O while the system is being loaded, which takes me unable to load, install, recompile the kernel, as i done on the other system that just gave the errors when the system was installed | 11:38 |

| h3lloWorld | I dont really understand the difference between the alternative install down load and the Desktop one can anyone enlighten me? | 11:39 |
| xjkx | h3lloWorld, one will boot the "whole" system, the desktop cd. Other will not, the alternate | 11:40 |
| xjkx | if you prefer to install while runnig xfce you will like the desktop cd | 11:40 |
| xjkx | if you want a text mode install/some more advanced stuff/had problems with the desktop cd/believes the desktop cd is too heavy (since its a livecd) you should try the alternate | 11:41 |
| h3lloWorld | the alternative one is command line | 11:41 |
| h3lloWorld | ? | 11:41 |
| === waspdigger [n=waspdigg@202.86.204.197] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| xjkx | like that, its a text mode install | 11:42 |
| David-A | h3lloWorld: the desktop cd is a live-cd. the alternate is not and has a less pretty user interface for install. | 11:42 |
| xjkx | probably the alternate cd is like the slackware install, i couldn't load because of hardware problems so i can't tell you exactly | 11:42 |
| David-A | historically "alternate" was required to install xubuntu on a prepartitioioned disk | 11:44 |
| h3lloWorld | but wit hthe desktop one I can actually install the OS on to my HD right? When I think Live I think running off of like a cd/dvd/floppy/or flashdrive | 11:44 |
| xjkx | you can | 11:44 |
| h3lloWorld | Yeah this computer that I am installing it is not partitioned, does Xubuntu give me the option to partition my drive> | 11:45 |
| David-A | but today I installed a xubuntu 7.10 rc from a livd cd | 11:45 |
| xjkx | it does | 11:45 |
| xjkx | you will have gparted on the live cd, which is the most easy and the greatest partitioner | 11:45 |
| h3lloWorld | perfect, I think this is the OS I want for my PIII computer, especially with xfce environment | 11:45 |
| xjkx | :) | 11:46 |
| David-A | do you have more than 256 MB on that P III ? | 11:46 |
| h3lloWorld | RAM? | 11:47 |
| David-A | I have 380MB, I found 256 is not quite enough for xubuntu, if I want to use firfox and many other progs simultanosly. | 11:48 |
| h3lloWorld | well I have some more at home, so you suggest more than 256, huh? | 11:48 |
| h3lloWorld | David? | 11:50 |
| David-A | firefox often use a lot. if you want to use firefox and other heavy progs at the same time 256MB feels a bit sluggish in my experience. | 11:51 |
| h3lloWorld | this one only have 128 but I have plenty for at home | 11:52 |
| h3lloWorld | will it even function at 128? | 11:52 |
| David-A | Now I have 384MB and it works fine for me. (I don't edit movies.) | 11:52 |
| === pili [n=pili@151.Red-83-61-178.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| David-A | a fresh xubuntu needs less than 128 i think. but a few days of browsing and firefox needs about 100MB ram plus 200MB swap. | 11:55 |
| David-A | adding beagle search, uses 20-40 MB | 11:56 |
| h3lloWorld | yeah not a problem ram is cheap and I have some extra, the computer was only like 30 bucks | 11:57 |

| David-A | h3lloWorld: very general question:-) I was plesantly suprised the xubuntu 7.10 restricted driver manager work with my nvidia 6200, me only needed to click ok. | 12:04 |

| Mark7 | Why does Yahoo only work with Pidgin and Kopete? | 12:53 |
| Mark7 | Oh, Apparently I have to compile the damned thing | 12:55 |
| Mark7 | Crap | 12:55 |
| Mark7 | What's the bleeding command for that? | 12:55 |
| Mark7 | I HATE command lines | 12:55 |

| Mark7 | Hi All, | 12:56 |
| Mark7 | can any one tell me how to configure yahoo gateway with jabber server. | 12:56 |
| Mark7 | I have compiled the yahoo transport successfully .what is next step ? | 12:56 |
| Mark7 | what other configuration will be needed so that i can send the Im to yahoo | 12:56 |
| Mark7 | user ? | 12:56 |
| Mark7 | Thanx in advance | 12:56 |
| b0lle | anyone around to help me a bit with my wireless network? it worked on the livecd but not after i installed it | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | First, you would probably have more luck with this on the jadmin list... but | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | here's all you should need. You need to adjust the following to fit your | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | situation and insert into your jabber.xml file: | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <service type="yahoo" jid="yahoo.localhost" name="Yahoo Transport"> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <ns>jabber:iq:gateway</ns> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <ns>jabber:iq:register</ns> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <ns>jabber:iq:version</ns> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <ns>jabber:iq:time</ns> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | </service> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <service id="localhost"> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | 12:57 | |
| Mark7 | <load><yahoo_transport>/path/to/yahoo-transport.so</yahoo_transport></load> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <config xmlns="jabber:config:yahoo"> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <vCard> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <NAME>Yahoo Transport</NAME> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | </vCard> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <server>scs.yahoo.com</server> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <port>5050</port> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | <charmap>CP1252</charmap> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | </config> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | </service> | 12:57 |
| Mark7 | That's weird. Maybe it didn't install something | 12:57 |

| b0lle | it says in dmesg: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready | 12:58 |
| Mark7 | PAstebin isn't a legitimate command, gmomefreak | 12:58 |
| b0lle | !pastebin | 12:59 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 12:59 |
| Mark7 | Okay | 12:59 |
| Mark7 | Now tell me why I can't use a Yahoo account unless I use Pidgin or Kopete | 01:00 |
| b0lle | sorry, no idea | 01:00 |
| gnomefreak | ask yahoo | 01:00 |
| Zambezi | Mark7: Pastevin nexttime please. | 01:00 |
| Zambezi | gnomefreak: Is the adress to you repo changed or do I need some key? | 01:00 |
| Mark7 | Tell me how to add a transport to GAjim | 01:00 |
| gnomefreak | Zambezi: yes it has its now on LP | 01:01 |
| Zambezi | Mark7: Right click, add service. | 01:01 |
| gnomefreak | Zambezi: what in it are you looking for? i have been sick lately so i havent done alot of PPA work | 01:01 |
| Mark7 | There's no such function in my version, Zambezi | 01:01 |
| Zambezi | gnomefreak: I'm not sure how I'll fix it. Is there instructions on you homepage. | 01:01 |
| gnomefreak | Zambezi: ill get you the link for it | 01:02 |
| Zambezi | gnomefreak: Thanks. What I'm looking for is a better maintained sources for FF and TB which you used to provide. :-) | 01:03 |
| Mark7 | Perhaps add services is only in the non UK version | 01:03 |
| gnomefreak | Zambezi: they should be fine i believe i built them for PPA | 01:03 |
| gnomefreak | Zambezi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/PreviewArchives?highlight=%28CategoryMozillaTeam%29 | 01:03 |
| gnomefreak | Zambezi: feisty and gutsy should have most of what it had in it only newer | 01:04 |
| === gnomefreak thinks i found time to add iceape to feisty as well | ||
| Mark7 | I can't even get it to connect to bloody AIM | 01:05 |
| Mark7 | GOD I AM SO FRUSTRATED | 01:05 |
| Zambezi | gnomefreak: Thanks. Working now. | 01:06 |
| Zambezi | Mark7: Is the server supporting the transport? | 01:06 |
| Mark7 | I don't know | 01:06 |
| Mark7 | I don't even know what the server is | 01:06 |
| Zambezi | Mark7: That might be a good idea to check. | 01:07 |
| Mark7 | How? | 01:07 |
| Mark7 | I don't even know how | 01:07 |
| Zambezi | Mark7: Create a Jabberaccount, chose from the serverlist, but click on the link to see what each server got for services. I think Jabber.dk is good. | 01:07 |
| Mark7 | Oh those servers | 01:09 |
| Mark7 | Sorry, I thought you meant the ISP | 01:09 |
| Mark7 | There's no jabber server in the UK? | 01:11 |
| Mark7 | Wow | 01:11 |
| Mark7 | NO wait, there is. But it's rubbish | 01:12 |
| Mark7 | I ahve to go to Canada to get a decent range of options | 01:12 |
| gnomefreak | Zambezi: yw ill update it again when i get a chance but getting ready for release and court for the next 2 weeks | 01:12 |
