somerville32"A few bugs: When picking a apt-get source, if you select the united states, the installer tries to connect to "[WWW] http://.archive.ubuntu.com" instead of "[WWW] http://archive.ubuntu.com", this results in a failure to connect. you can work around this by selecting the UK mirror and then selecting "archive.ubuntu.com" when prompted.

PowerJChow much space does a typical xubuntu install take up?13:36
dddddMinimum system requirements To run the Desktop CD (LiveCD + Install CD), you need 128 MB RAM to run or 192 MB RAM to install. The Alternate Install CD only requires you to have 64 MB RAM. To install Xubuntu, you need 1.5 GB of free space on your hard disk. Once installed, Xubuntu can run with 64 MB RAM, but it is strongly recommended to have at least 128 MB RAM.13:38
PowerJCbut can i silm it down to any less than that?13:39
PowerJCi want a distro to take up about 500mb-1gb13:39
dddddMinimum system requirements13:39
PowerJCok13:40
PowerJCwhy does it need 192mb ram to install?13:40
dddddit is possible to install a command line system with the alternate cd and install only the packages you need maybe you stay below 1GiB13:41
PowerJCk13:41
PowerJCi've only got a 4gb hard disc and want to dual boot with windows 9813:41

ddddddid you read the links i give ? i dont us windows so i dont know about it maybe someone else here ?13:55
dddddTheSheep: do you know about ntfs13:56
PowerJCmy windows install will probs only be 1gb, so is 3gb enough for xubuntu?13:57

PowerJCok14:58
PowerJCbut kde and gnome can take up some amonut of resources14:59

ubotuDon't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)21:48
honkyzgi installed my xubuntu everything went right until i had to install support for mp3 divx and so on, i found one tut to instal some libs - but there was no libxine-extracodecs in synaptic so it didn't work21:50
honkyzgand in add/remove programs enabling ubuntu-restricted-extras didn't work as well:/21:50
honkyzgthen how do i enable non-free codecs?21:53

mikeazdoes anyone know of a good guide to getting compiz-fusion to run on it?21:55
somerville32!compiz21:56
ubotuCompiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion21:56
mikeazok problems with installing compiz-fusion22:12
mikeazit does not run automatically, it only runs when i type the command 'compiz --replace'22:13
mikeazand then my windows do not have any titlebars, and they're all stuck to the top left of the screen22:13
somerville32Is it running after you do that?22:22
somerville32Or does it just remove the titlebars?22:22
PumpernickelYou'll need a window decorator to go with it.22:23
