[00:40] <somerville32> I can attempt to help but I've never did an install that way
[00:40] <Confess> well
[00:40] <Confess> When I try to install..

[00:43] <Confess> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot
[00:46]  * somerville32 loads page
[00:48] <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. "
[00:48] <Confess> i tried that
[00:48] <Confess> No luck.

[13:36] <PowerJC> how much space does a typical xubuntu install take up?
[13:38] <ddddd> Minimum 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.
[13:39] <PowerJC> but can i silm it down to any less than that?
[13:39] <PowerJC> i want a distro to take up about 500mb-1gb
[13:39] <ddddd> Minimum system requirements
[13:40] <PowerJC> ok
[13:40] <PowerJC> why does it need 192mb ram to install?
[13:41] <ddddd> it is possible to install a command line system with the alternate cd and install only the packages you need maybe you stay below 1GiB
[13:41] <PowerJC> k
[13:41] <PowerJC> i've only got a 4gb hard disc and want to dual boot with windows 98
[13:42] <PowerJC> so keeping space down is an issue
[13:53] <ddddd> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MiniUbuntu this is old but usable with the xubuntu alternate cd
[13:54] <loguser1> i cant access ntfs partitions since upgrade to 7.10 . any help?
[13:55] <ddddd> did you read the links i give ? i dont us windows so i dont know about it maybe someone else here ?
[13:56] <ddddd> TheSheep: do you know about ntfs
[13:57] <PowerJC> my windows install will probs only be 1gb, so is 3gb enough for xubuntu?
[13:58] <ddddd> scroll up i gave you the info :) Minimum 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.
[14:00] <ddddd> maybe download both alternate and the desktop cd and start ? :)
[14:01] <PowerJC> but will 3gb be enough for applications beyond the basic install?
[14:01] <ddddd> wat do you want to install ?
[14:01] <PowerJC> i don't know yet
[14:02] <PowerJC> i've used live cds before, but this will be the first time i'll have used a proper linux install
[14:02] <loguser1> i cant access ntfs partitions since upgrade to 7.10 . any help?
[14:02] <loguser1> ddddd:  not working
[14:03] <ddddd> did you read the links i give ? i dont us windows so i dont know about it maybe someone else here ?
[14:04] <PowerJC> loguser, are your ntfs partions working in windows ok?
[14:04] <PowerJC> and what do you mean not working, do they mount?
[14:05] <ddddd> hihi
[14:07] <ddddd> PowerJC: are you also reinstalling win98 ?
[14:11] <PowerJC> if in install linux yes
[14:15] <ddddd> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_98#System_requirements http://www.xubuntu.org/get - win98 minimal 500mb xubuntu minimal 1.5gb -> win98 1gb xubuntu 3 gb - remove all partitions and make 1 new partition 1gb for win98 and install it then install xubuntu alternate cd text system and follow the guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MiniUbuntu for saving disk space (write it down & you need internet also make sure that works and how to do it before install
[14:16] <PowerJC> ok
[14:16] <ddddd> that is my advice
[14:16] <PowerJC> how well do you think xubuntu would perform on it?
[14:16] <PowerJC> amd k6-2 450, 384 mb ram
[14:17] <PeckaH> pretty well
[14:17] <ddddd> performance ok
[14:18] <ddddd> !dualboot

[14:18] <evge> I want to add some icons to the Tango icons set, how to do that ?
[14:20] <ddddd> evge: only for yourself or for everybody that is downloading the theme ?
[14:20] <evge> no, i want to add few icons locally only for myself
[14:21] <evge> I have dl them, but don't know where to put them
[14:21] <evge> I'm talking about CodeTango set, I just want .rb files to have nice icon
[14:22] <ddddd> is the theme in your /home/.icons or in /usr/share/icons ?
[14:22] <evge> /usr/share/icons/
[14:22] <ddddd> iconthemes only support .png .svg .xpm you know ?
[14:24] <evge> yes, yes I have dl the set. its png and svg in the appropriate folders 16x16, but not in the appropriate subfolders.
[14:25] <evge> I using tango set
[14:25] <evge> and want to make ruby files to use nice icons which ‎I have already dl
[14:25] <ddddd> but you can put icons by pressing <alt> + <f2> -> gksudo thunar <enter> than you can do what you want
[14:26] <ddddd> if you have the admin rights
[14:26] <evge> ok, so now where to put that icon and how to tell thunar to display it for ruby type files
[14:28] <ddddd> you go to /usr/share/icons/themename/16x16/mime/ find the current ruby icon and replace it with yours and use the old name
[14:36] <evge> ok, thanks I've done it as you said. It worked. Again thank you!
[14:36] <ddddd> :)
[14:40] <ActySofts> hello
[14:41] <ActySofts> how do I turn the system beep off under xubuntu gutsy?
[14:48] <ddddd> PowerJC: how is it writing down all needed steps ?
[14:49] <PowerJC> i don't know
[14:49] <ddddd> you are not writing ?
[14:49] <PowerJC> i'm only looknig into installing linux the now, i'm going to install sometime next weekend
[14:49] <ddddd> ok
[14:49] <PowerJC> i'm waiting until i upgrade it from 160mb ram to 384
[14:50] <ddddd> you can already start 160 is enough for xubuntu ;-)
[14:51] <PowerJC> but how well will it run?
[14:51] <PowerJC> i tried knoppix and it was incredibly slow
[14:51] <ddddd> knoppix is not light
[14:52] <PowerJC> yeah
[14:52] <ddddd> and live cd is always slow
[14:52] <PowerJC> currently i've got a windows 98 installation on it taking 3.2gb, so i'm going to have to slim that down as well
[14:53] <PowerJC> what kind of computer do you have ddddd?
[14:54] <ddddd> laptop intel dualcore 1.6 1g ram 100g hd
[14:55] <PowerJC> why do you use xubuntu then?
[14:55] <ddddd> because i like xfce
[14:58] <PowerJC> why do you use linux over windows?
[14:58] <ddddd> and i think that not the os but the apllications should eat the system resources
[14:58] <PowerJC> ok
[14:59] <PowerJC> but kde and gnome can take up some amonut of resources
[14:59] <ddddd> yes that is why i use xfce
[15:00] <PowerJC> do you think xubuntu will be slower or faster than windows 98?
[15:01] <ddddd> i dont now power lets google some comparing review
[15:01] <PowerJC> k
[15:03] <PowerJC> hows fluxbuntu?
[15:09] <ddddd> http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html
[15:11] <PowerJC> the memory usage for xfce is quite impressive
[15:11] <ddddd> impressive high ?
[15:11] <PowerJC> low
[15:11] <ddddd> hihi will it fit in 160mb
[15:12] <PowerJC> should do
[15:12] <ddddd> no win98 vs xubuntu test found
[15:13] <PowerJC> i couldn't find one either
[15:13] <PowerJC> what i think will slow me down is my slow processor
[15:13] <PowerJC> its pathetic
[15:13] <PowerJC> i can't even run youtube videso

[15:48] <PowerJC> ok dsl
[15:48] <ddddd> dsl is fine :)
[15:49] <PowerJC> sorry i said it without thinking
[15:49]  * vinze can imagine
[15:50] <PowerJC> if a xubuntu install will run as fast as xubuntu 'll be happy
[15:50] <PowerJC> *run as fast as dsl
[15:54] <ddddd> i think as long as you use xfce applications only it will be fast but firefox is not coded for xfce only so it will be a little bit slower dan xfce itself but faster than kde + firefox
[15:55] <ddddd> but maybe someone els can say more about this ?
[15:57] <PowerJC> i'm going now thanks for advice ddddd
[15:58] <ddddd> my pleasure sir and see you

[19:03] <mrmonday> how do I configure xubuntu to automatically mount the swap partition when it boots?
[19:12] <codenamekt> hmm
[19:12] <codenamekt> I wish I could tell you by looking at my fstab but one of these settings I don't understand
[19:13] <codenamekt> doesn't seem like it would be the same on your machine
[19:13] <codenamekt> mrmonday, your looking for the /etc/fstab entry that points to the swap
[19:14] <codenamekt> mrmonday, could probably find on google.com
[19:14]  * maristo :)
[19:14] <codenamekt> maristo, do you know what the UUID is in the fstab?
[19:15] <maristo> no
[19:15] <codenamekt> just checkin'
[19:16] <mrmonday> I've edited it now...
[19:16] <mrmonday> *restarts*
[19:17] <codenamekt> hes talking about me :)
[20:36] <gerro> hello
[20:45] <PeterPan_>  can any one recomend a good dictionary to install ?
[20:45] <Dan8765> does xubuntu come w/ a bittorent client?
[20:46] <ddddd> you have choice !
[20:46] <nanonyme> rtorrent <3
[20:46] <Dan8765> it comes w/ more than one?
[20:46] <Dan8765> i use azureaus for win xp
[20:46] <Dan8765> will azureas work w/ xbuntu
[20:46] <ddddd> there are several installable
[20:47] <ddddd> moment
[20:47] <PeckaH> I hope a linux version of utorrent would be made
[20:48] <PeckaH> you can install azureus with synaptic
[20:48] <ddddd> yes azureus is availeble in the repositories
[20:49] <Dan8765> reading about repositories now...
[20:49] <Dan8765> i know nothing about linux
[20:49] <Dan8765> thining about installing it on my other pc
[20:49] <gerro> I use deluge on mine
[20:50] <Dan8765> its a 1.4ghz w/ 512m ram
[20:50] <gerro> synaptic explains pretty much everything
[20:50] <gerro> then there's man apt-get
[20:50] <PeckaH> !synaptic
[20:50] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[20:50] <Dan8765> k thx
[20:54] <Dan8765> i guess i couldnt get apps like photoshop or blender to work w/ xbuntu...right?
[20:54] <gerro> www.winehq.org read there
[20:54] <PeterPan_>  can any one recomend a good dictionary to install ?
[20:55] <gerro> PeterPan_: what language?
[20:55] <PeterPan_> gerro:  english
[20:55] <gerro> Dan8765: blender is actually a native linux application
[20:55] <Dan8765> oh cool
[20:55] <gerro> Dan8765: there is also gimp and gimpshop if you want to give them a try
[20:55] <Dan8765> yeah i've  heard of gimp allot never used it
[20:55] <Dan8765> just so used to ps
[20:56] <Dan8765> seems like xbunut would be good for older laptops
[20:56] <ddddd> and inksape
[20:56] <gerro> Dan8765: is it that tacky icon border that makes you think so?
[20:57] <ddddd> *inkscape
[20:57] <Dan8765> ? well no, i'm thining of its low system req
[20:58] <Dan8765> i've just seen screenshots so far...downloading xubuntu right now
[20:58] <Dan8765> 2 more hrs till done
[20:58] <gerro> Dan8765: ohhh.. I never really understood why any system would ever need more than 100mb memory with nothing running
[20:58] <Dan8765> yeah
[20:59] <Dan8765> only thing i hate about my older pc is the dang 1.1 usb
[20:59] <Dan8765> god that is slow
[21:00] <gerro> I have a laptop with one and it isn't too bad 1.1
[21:00] <ddddd> if you want very fast many features and stuff the code becomes less good
[21:00] <ddddd> and starts eating system resources
[21:01] <gerro> ddddd: long as its modular unlike kde that seems fine :)
[21:01] <Dan8765> i just wanna serf the net w/ firefox and bittorent
[21:02] <Dan8765> prolly not many virus problems w/ xb is ther?
[21:03] <Dan8765> like the macs
[21:03] <ddddd> and for example xfce on its own is fast but if you use firefox it is not coded for xfce alone so it is a bit more eating system resources
[21:03] <Dan8765> will i be able to use the firefox addons/extension?
[21:04] <gerro> Dan8765: none that I know of but there are patch sites related to its development you can read up on
[21:04] <ddddd> sure
[21:05] <ddddd> yes you can use addons
[21:05] <Dan8765> good
[21:05] <Dan8765> i need those
[21:05] <ddddd> adblock+
[21:06] <Dan8765> i gotta have my All-in-one gestures extension
[21:06] <Dan8765> :)
[21:18] <gerro> Dan8765: well good luck and all
[21:33] <adac> I cannot add the volume icon at the system panel...when I try to add it then it just not appears on the panel :(
[21:46] <honkyzg> hello, i'm basically a beginner in linux and this is also the first time i'm using IRC
[21:47] <honkyzg> the thing is i want to get some help with my xubuntu
[21:48] <Pumpernickel> !ask
[21:48] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[21:50] <honkyzg> i 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 work
[21:50] <honkyzg> and in add/remove programs enabling ubuntu-restricted-extras didn't work as well:/
[21:53] <honkyzg> then how do i enable non-free codecs?

[21:55] <somerville32> :D
[21:55]  * somerville32 waves a Welcome to Xubuntu 7.10 flag.
[21:55] <mikeaz> does anyone know of a good guide to getting compiz-fusion to run on it?
[21:56] <somerville32> !compiz

[22:12] <mikeaz> ok problems with installing compiz-fusion
[22:13] <mikeaz> it does not run automatically, it only runs when i type the command 'compiz --replace'
[22:13] <mikeaz> and then my windows do not have any titlebars, and they're all stuck to the top left of the screen
[22:22] <somerville32> Is it running after you do that?
[22:22] <somerville32> Or does it just remove the titlebars?
[22:23] <Pumpernickel> You'll need a window decorator to go with it.
