GraelbHello, how do i set this up so that i run compiz on X initiation with the arguments "compiz --indirect-rendering --replace"16:11
vinzeGraelb, in Settings->Autostarted Applications16:11
GraelbOh. I figured i would have to find the config file and edit that or something16:12
vinzeOh wait, X initiation... Autostarted Applications makes it run on login16:13
GraelbWell, the problem is that the system defaults the window manager to compiz, but it doesn't have those arguments16:13

KilrooI'm trying to create a new user group, but after I've added it, when I close the users and groups management screen, it doesn't save my changes.19:16

GabriellaCan anyone help me with an external HD19:19
Kilroointeresting. THAT says the group already exists.19:19
GabriellaI couldn't find the info with fdisk -l and did a dmesg, but have no idea what I should be looking for19:19
hyper_chKilroo: then it exists19:19
hyper_chGabriella: sudo fdisk -l19:20
GabriellaHyper: Already did that, doesn't find the info for the external19:20
hyper_chGabriella: did you do:  sudo ?19:20
GabriellaI did19:20
GabriellaI assume it's at the bottom of the dmesg since I just plugged it in19:20
KilrooOk. Then why doesn't is show up under users and groups?19:20
KilrooUgh. This worked before.19:21

graelbHey quick question... is there any structural differences between xubuntu and ubuntu?20:41
pleia2they have the same base, just different meta packages installed20:43
pleia2so if you install ubuntu you can get xubuntu by installing the xubuntu-desktop metapackage20:43
graelbgot it20:44

fifafrazerThe new xubuntu 7.10 is extremely slow :( My 2.6 Ghz Pentium 4 with Xubuntu is much slower than my 700 mhz celeron with Absolute linux (slackware distro) And it is not just the desktop environment. Even firefox is faster on my 700 mhz box.22:15
robtbh I prefer something like gentoo on low spec machines, not sure what the deal is with xubuntu but it is slow22:16
fifafrazerto me it seems pretty much slower than 7.04..22:18
robI thought 7.04 was too slow :)22:19
fifafrazeryes, my 2.6 Ghz box can be considered as a low spec machine nowadays.. Xubuntu requires dual-core, one core for the system and DE, and one core for the apps :)22:20
fifafrazer7.04 was slow too, but the features could justify it's low speed, but with 7.10, it's gone too far :D22:22
robyup22:24
neozen-work..................................................?22:39
neozen-workdual-core requirements?22:39
neozen-worktell me you're joking22:39
neozen-workthough I will agree w/ 7.04 seeming sluggish22:39
neozen-work...this is on a 1.4ghz box22:40
pilion my pentium500 gutsy works fine22:40
neozen-workonly seemed sluggish w/ many apps running22:40
neozen-workie... over 2522:40

fifafrazerNADD?22:42
fifafrazerI'm not joking.. The clean install of gutsy is very slowish on my computer...22:43
pilimaybe a bug <fifafrazer>22:46

kebwill there be a smooth upgrade from the LTS 6.06.1 release to the next LTS release?23:11
masterochey, i got a quick question, i just installed swiftfox to use instead of firefox and i was wondering how to change the quicklaunch icon that is next to the applications menu?23:12
kebmasteroc : if you right-click on the icon and select Properties you can change the command that is invoked23:14
masterocthanks23:16
masterocalso, what is the command to launch the terminal so i can add it to the quicklaunch area?23:16
pilimasteroc, xfce4-terminal23:17
piliwhy siftfox?23:17
piliis it better?23:17
pili*swiftfox malcolmb23:18
pilisorry <masteroc>23:18
kebthe swift red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog23:18
masterocswiftfox is suppose to be faster23:18
masterocbecause it is compiled for your specific processor23:18
piliis it for newwer computers?23:19
masteroci did some render tests and it loaded pages about 3-4 secs faster...worth it i guess, it is basicallly just firefox recompiled23:19
masterocyea23:19
masterocany proc cept for the new dual core ones23:19
masterocall addons and settings work i believe23:19
pilibut I have a low machine, will it work faster than firefox?23:20
pimp^airhi23:20
masteroclow as in?23:20
masterocold?23:20
pimp^airi'd like to install xubuntu to a imac bought yesterday... how ever i can't find any recent image to download23:20
pimp^airthe release-candidates are gone in expectation of the new final23:20
masterocjust wait a day or 223:20
masterocits easier than having to download all the updated files, etc (imo)23:21
pimp^airhowever here it is the 18th and i don't want to wait... i'd take any RC as well, but i'd like to have a running system in 1 or 2 hours23:21
pimp^airbut from a recently updated rc shouldn be so much to download23:21
masterocalso, keb, how do i expand my icons cause it is showing a little down arrow where i added the terminal?23:21
kebmasteroc : right click on the panel and choose Customize, there shuold be an option for size23:22
Pumpernickelpimp^air: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/daily/current/23:23
pimp^airPumpernickel: thanks...23:23
Pumpernickelpimp^air: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily/current/ if it's not a PPC iMac.23:23
pimp^airi even used that server several times in the past, however i always forget about it23:23
pimp^airyeah, its an intel one23:23
masterockeb: yea i can make the icon smaller or larger, but there is only 1, not the other one that i added23:23
=== alnokta is now known as atkonla
kebmasteroc to change the icon itself, you can go into properties on it and there is an icon changing thing23:24
masterockeb: i just want to have 2 icons up there instead of the 1 that is showing up23:25
kebyou want 2 terminal icons?23:26
masterocjust 1, but all im seeing is the swiftfox one, then there is a drop down menu to the terminal one23:26
masterocits like there is only room for 123:27
kebmasteroc : you can customize the panel to make it wider, e.g. whole screen23:27
kebe.g., Full Width23:28
pimp^airhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/7.10/rc/ is this already the final version?23:29
pimp^airor is it really not available yet?23:29
pimp^airoh, i see, the filenames never seem to contain information like build-date or rc-version23:30
kebit seems to be in the release candidate directory23:30
masterocquit23:32
masterocmt23:32
kebwow this swiftfox is snappier23:56
