| Ven]n | in xfce, whats the default theme used? | 00:43 |
|---|---|---|
| j1mc | Ven]n: do you mean window manager theme, or 'user interface settings' theme/ | 00:45 |
| Ven]n | user interface settings :p | 00:46 |
| j1mc | the default one used in recent versios of xubuntu is murrina storm cloud. the default xfce one is just 'xfce' i think. | 00:47 |
| Ven]n | ok | 00:47 |
| Ven]n | thanks | 00:47 |
| j1mc | the default xfce icon theme is 'rodent' but xubuntu has used the tango icon theme as our default | 00:47 |
| Ven]n | ok | 00:47 |
| Ven]n | are there many other themes to download? | 00:48 |
| j1mc | xfce-look.org has some other ones | 00:48 |
| j1mc | most themes from gnome-look.org also work. | 00:48 |
| Ven]n | any specific you reccommend? | 00:49 |
| j1mc | i like the default window manager theme, but like the xubuntu-studio icons. if you search google for xubuntu-studio icons, you will find them. | 00:49 |
| Ven]n | ty | 00:50 |
| j1mc | yw | 00:50 |
| zellfaz1 | hello all | 00:51 |
| zellfaz1 | wel this channel is not very active either it seems | 00:52 |
| Ven]n | where do i put xubuntu-studio icons ? | 00:54 |
| ollie_ | Yo, anyone active? | 00:58 |
| vidd | !ask ollie_ | 00:59 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask ollie_ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:59 |
| vidd | !ask | 00:59 |
| ubotu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 00:59 |
| ollie_ | oh well, sweet, Well i've just loaded on Xubuntu to my Eee and ive installed all the new web-cam program. But when i run the web-cam prog it just shows black | 01:00 |
| kosha | Does anyone know why my sd card reader would work and show a mounted SD card when I first start up my computer but then once I remove it and put it in again it wouldn't mount? | 01:01 |
| Ven]n | ollie_, xubuntu and not eeexubuntu? | 01:01 |
| vidd | kosha, did you umount the drive and then mount the new one? | 01:02 |
| ollie_ | my bad, eeeXubuntu | 01:02 |
| Ven]n | http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:customization#camera | 01:02 |
| Ven]n | did you do that? | 01:02 |
| ollie_ | yeah, ive done both. and i have the icon in my tray | 01:04 |
| ollie_ | and i can en/disable it no problems | 01:04 |
| Ven]n | you have enabled it in bios? | 01:04 |
| ollie_ | yeah | 01:05 |
| Ven]n | i enabled mine in bios, then downloaded ucview | 01:05 |
| Ven]n | that was it | 01:05 |
| Ven]n | no extra software or anything | 01:05 |
| Ven]n | eeexubuntu r3 of course | 01:06 |
| ollie_ | i guess ill just deal with then | 01:06 |
| ollie_ | cheers for the help | 01:06 |
| Ven]n | sorry i couldnt be of more help :) | 01:07 |
| Ven]n | try in #eeepc | 01:07 |
| vidd | is there a chanel for help with xubuntu hardy? | 01:08 |
| ollie_ | im not sure, im sorta new to xubuntu and xchat | 01:10 |
| ollie_ | so im just winging it at the moment | 01:10 |
| pleia2 | vidd: AFAIK all the hardy stuff is in #ubuntu+1 | 01:12 |
| vidd | ty | 01:12 |
| vidd | is fiesty still supported? | 01:17 |
| pleia2 | yes, until hardy | 01:17 |
| Ven]n | im trying to copy some icons into /usr/share/icons .. but i get omitting directory.. why? | 01:18 |
| vidd | you need to do -Rf | 01:18 |
| vidd | -R is "recursive" ... | 01:18 |
| vidd | so it included directories | 01:18 |
| vidd | you also might need to "sudo" | 01:19 |
| kosha | vidd: no i just took out the sd card and stuck it back in without umounting or anything | 01:19 |
| kosha | When I first startup the system the SD card shows up as a mounted drive | 01:19 |
| kosha | but when I take it out of the sd reader | 01:19 |
| kosha | it goes away | 01:19 |
| kosha | but then when i reinsert the SD card | 01:19 |
| kosha | it doesn't mount it again | 01:19 |
| Ven]n | vidd, thanks | 01:20 |
| vidd | that is most likely the issue...i dont use SD cards, so i dont really know what to say | 01:20 |
| Ven]n | its a pita finding a good theme for xfce.. any suggestions? | 01:40 |
| ryan_ | what is the command for terminal | 02:03 |
| ryan_ | I want to add it to my launcher | 02:03 |

| skarface | ryan_: alt+f2 then run gnome-panel | 02:35 |
| ryan_ | okay | 02:36 |
| ryan_ | excellent, thanks | 02:37 |
| skarface | np | 02:37 |
| duncanm | hmm | 02:50 |
| duncanm | any japanese speakers here? | 02:50 |
| vidd | yes? | 02:50 |
| duncanm | i'm using scim on eeexubuntu | 02:50 |
| vidd | idk | 02:50 |
| duncanm | and chinese works, korean works (romaja) | 02:51 |
| vidd | i think there is a eeexubuntu chanel...dont recall the name offhand | 02:51 |
| duncanm | it's not #eeexubuntu, afaik | 02:52 |
| vidd | it was mentioned earlier if someone could offer it | 02:52 |
| vidd | (ive left and came back) | 02:52 |
| ryan_ | I've been trying to ge scim to work for a while no | 02:53 |
| ryan_ | now* | 02:53 |
| ryan_ | no dice, I can't chose the jap IME | 02:53 |
| ryan_ | and it doesn't even load properly | 02:53 |
| duncanm | oh | 02:53 |
| duncanm | #eeepc | 02:53 |
| vidd | yeah...thats it! | 02:54 |
| duncanm | ryan_: weird, do you have scim-anthy installed? | 02:54 |
| duncanm | so i have a 'normal' gutsy installed on a desktop | 02:54 |
| duncanm | and scim-anthy works just fine | 02:54 |
| ryan_ | that's the name anthy, I had that before upgrading to gutsy | 02:55 |
| ryan_ | but I forgot the name and scim just wasn't workin for me | 02:56 |
| duncanm | ryan_: on my gnome gutsy machine, anthy works just fine | 02:56 |
| vidd | duncanm, does gnome work correctly on your eee? | 02:56 |
| duncanm | vidd: i don't have gnome, because i only have eeexubuntu | 02:57 |
| duncanm | because of this japanese glitch, i'm considering switching to gutsy + eee-compat scriptpack | 02:57 |
| duncanm | but some dude on #eeepc just said i should stick with eeexubuntu | 02:58 |
| vidd | let me hunt down some help? | 02:58 |
| duncanm | oh? | 02:58 |
| duncanm | woohoo | 02:58 |
| duncanm | there's a japanese page on this, maybe | 02:58 |
| * duncanm tries to read it | 02:58 | |
| ryan_ | let me see if I can install it with synaptic | 02:58 |
| duncanm | eeeh | 02:58 |
| duncanm | he says japanese input just worked for him | 02:58 |
| ryan_ | well I have it installed already | 02:59 |
| ryan_ | I just can't find it to run it | 02:59 |
| ryan_ | yeah it exits abnormally | 03:00 |
| vidd | i tried google, and it looks like all the relevent pages are in japaneese | 03:01 |
| vidd | =[ | 03:01 |
| vidd | so im afraid i will be of no help | 03:02 |
| duncanm | one of the pages says it worked without any hassle | 03:02 |
| vidd | have you rebooted? | 03:02 |
| duncanm | sure | 03:02 |
| vidd | have you tried dpkg-reconfigure anthy? | 03:04 |
| vidd | and maybe apt-get install anthy-el | 03:04 |
| duncanm | that's for emacs | 03:04 |
| ryan_ | I'll give them a shot | 03:05 |
| vidd | if anthy-el dont fix it, you can just apt-get remove --purge to take it back off | 03:06 |
| vidd | =] | 03:06 |
| vidd | i dont understand Japanese so i dont know if it works for me or not | 03:07 |
| vidd | =\ | 03:07 |
| vidd | Anything in Latin sounds profound | 03:10 |
| duncanm | my problem seem related to this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim-anthy/+bug/107391 | 03:10 |

| an0nyme | hi o/ | 03:26 |
| soldats | hi | 03:26 |
| an0nyme | question: i have a laptop asus eee uner eeexubuntu, i've mounted a external disk usb, but when i launch a .deb installer, i can't find the disk in the folder , any idea? | 03:35 |
| soldats | where did you mount it to | 03:36 |
| an0nyme | hum in /media | 03:37 |
| an0nyme | i' a novice in using any linux system maybe i forgot a simple thing | 03:37 |
| soldats | did you run the mount command in terminal to mount it to /media if you do a reboot it wont auto-mount unless its in the fstab folder | 03:38 |
| an0nyme | when i unplug it it disappear, and when i plug it back it appear, i supposed it automatically mounts no? | 03:39 |
| an0nyme | it takes me a long time but now i have the permissions on it | 03:39 |
| soldats | the icon will show up but it may not me mounted. open your terminal and type "fdisk -l" and tell me where the device is it will be like /dev/sd[a|b] | 03:40 |
| soldats | do you know how big it is | 03:41 |
| an0nyme | one moment i pick up m just my notebook, just have to wipe the cat out he's sleeping over it | 03:41 |
| soldats | after the command look and see what size is the correct one and tell me what the /dev part says | 03:42 |
| am0nym[eee] | ok here i am | 03:54 |
| am0nym[eee] | it give me an error "only root user can mount /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/usb | 03:55 |
| vidd | so...sudo it | 03:55 |
| vidd | then chown it if needed | 03:56 |
| am0nym[eee] | soldats, its give me good infos about the disk | 03:57 |
| am0nym[eee] | /dev/sdc1 | 03:57 |
| soldats | "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media" should work | 03:59 |
| soldats | an0nyme, that should mount it ^^ | 04:00 |
| vidd | i think i said that =\ | 04:00 |
| am0nym[eee] | yep it mounted it | 04:00 |
| soldats | vidd, he was looking for the full command :) | 04:00 |
| vidd | ah | 04:01 |
| livingtm | I have a fresh install of xubuntu with compiz fusion running. Also installed Avant Window Navigator... but i dont seem to have any of the applets for it. Are they in another package? | 04:01 |
| vidd | little dence today | 04:01 |
| soldats | an0nyme, well try to install whatever you needed and see if it works | 04:01 |
| soldats | vidd, :P me too. | 04:01 |
| vidd | soldats, wont am0nym[eee] need to chownthe disk first ? | 04:02 |
| * vidd missed half the convo! | 04:02 | |
| soldats | im not entirely sure if he cant write to it he only said only root can mount it | 04:03 |
| soldats | it will need to be mounted via root in order to chmod it anyways | 04:03 |
| vidd | right...but that will mount it with it chowned to root | 04:03 |
| am0nym[eee] | hum a new error | 04:04 |
| vidd | write permissions? | 04:04 |
| am0nym[eee] | no | 04:04 |
| soldats | with the install of the .deb | 04:05 |
| vidd | what does the error say? | 04:05 |
| am0nym[eee] | cannot obtain lock on the /media.hal/mtab | 04:06 |
| vidd | what are you trying to do? | 04:07 |
| am0nym[eee] | nothing | 04:08 |
| vidd | cannot obtain lock means some other app is using that file/directory | 04:08 |
| vidd | are you trying to run a .deb from there? | 04:09 |
| vidd | you have to be doing SOMETHING... otherwise no error would show | 04:10 |
| am0nym[eee] | hum | 04:10 |
| am0nym[eee] | i try a rebbot k? | 04:10 |
| vidd | what are you trying to do...in general? | 04:10 |
| vidd | install a program? | 04:10 |
| an0nyme | my objective | 04:10 |
| vidd | yes | 04:11 |
| an0nyme | is to isntall a game on the usb disk | 04:11 |
| vidd | install??? | 04:11 |
| an0nyme | because i just have 4 gig on the ssd in the notebook | 04:11 |
| an0nyme | yes i have a .deb installer and i'd like to install the game on the usb disk | 04:12 |
| am0nym[eee] | a new error, | 04:14 |
| vidd | so then it saounds like you need to set up some kind of LVM to include the run-path and install-path between /usr/bin and that usb | 04:14 |
| am0nym[eee] | maybe my fstab is corrupted | 04:15 |
| vidd | this is outside my experience | 04:16 |
| am0nym[eee] | yes vidd it looks like this | 04:16 |
| am0nym[eee] | i m first going to reinstall the new retail of eeexubuntu | 04:16 |
| am0nym[eee] | and then i'll see | 04:16 |
| vidd | install it with the usb in place | 04:17 |
| vidd | so that the install will knowits there | 04:17 |
| an0nyme | any idea | 04:17 |
| vidd | during the set-up, choose to set up with LVM | 04:18 |
| vidd | so that / will span the main drive andthe USB | 04:18 |
| an0nyme | what is "lvm" | 04:18 |
| vidd | "Logical Volume Management" (or something similar) | 04:19 |
| an0nyme | ok the packet i dowloaded via synaptic | 04:19 |
| vidd | it lets your file system span one directory over one or more physical partitions | 04:19 |
| vidd | and if you set / to span both partions, then your whole filesystem will | 04:20 |
| an0nyme | it s a live cd it does'nt cause any prob? | 04:20 |
| vidd | or, you can set the /home directory on the USB...since that uses up more HD space (in most cases) it might be a better choice | 04:21 |
| * vidd avoids the live cd's like the plague | 04:21 | |
| vidd | i wont do a live cd install | 04:22 |
| vidd | i try it once per release | 04:23 |
| vidd | and i have yet to be problem free | 04:23 |
| vidd | i need to reboot | 04:25 |
| an0nyme | ok | 04:25 |
| vidd | soldats, you going to be ableto help him further? | 04:25 |
| vidd | if my upgrade is successful, i wont be back on | 04:26 |
| an0nyme | i m downlading rc 3 of xxxubuntu for eee and i'll see to isntall it on usb disk wit lvm | 04:26 |
| soldats | afaik if he does /home on the usb as well as that main hdd he should be fine | 04:27 |
| soldats | sorry i was in the ubuntu-az meeting reading and catching up | 04:28 |
| an0nyme | np | 04:28 |
| an0nyme | yes i t s a good solution, if i can install my system on the usb i don't have any permissions pb i think | 04:28 |
| soldats | bt yea doing /home onthe usb should do what you want | 04:28 |
| an0nyme | but it implicates i have to boot on the usb disk every time | 04:29 |
| soldats | yes | 04:29 |
| an0nyme | ill try first a install on the ssd | 04:29 |
| an0nyme | just updating the lvm packets, and modyfiing nothin in fstab | 04:30 |
| bytor4232 | So does this mean anything: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Xubuntu_is_no_longer_supported_by_Canonical | 05:06 |
| bytor4232 | Are just the packages moving to universe, or is Xubuntu as a project going away? | 05:06 |
| bytor4232 | I do so love the Xubuntu live CD. | 05:07 |
| somerville32 | bytor4232: Nothing is changing for the end-user | 05:16 |
| bytor4232 | I certainly hope so. | 05:17 |
| bytor4232 | somerville32: I was quite impressed with your defense of XFCE, if it could be called that. | 05:18 |
| bytor4232 | somerville32: You spoke with eloquence and intelligence, and represented us Xubuntu users quite well. | 05:18 |
| bytor4232 | So when 8.04 and 8.10 are released, Xubuntu will still be an option, as will "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 05:19 |
| bytor4232 | Is this true? | 05:20 |
| somerville32 | bytor4232: Correct. We will also continue to make ISOs available | 05:20 |
| bytor4232 | Whew. | 05:29 |
| bytor4232 | I'm extremely happy about that. My fear, and the fear of the digger at the link above, is that Ubuntu was trying to re-absorb all the specialized distro spinoffs, like xubuntu, edubuntu, and kubuntu. | 05:30 |
| bytor4232 | I like the fact that Ubuntu has specialized projects like Xubuntu. | 05:30 |
| an0nyme | how i can format a extern usb disk in fat 32, it s actually in ntfs and i have son rights problems | 05:56 |
| chrsghoyt | I need some help with Xubuntu | 06:03 |
| chrsghoyt | I need to know the text commands to install the nvidia binary drivers and the commands to configure it | 06:04 |
| soldats | !nvidia | chrsghoyt will these pages help? | 06:05 |
| ubotu | chrsghoyt will these pages help?: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:05 |
| chrsghoyt | I'll check | 06:06 |
| soldats | other wise sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new i think is the correct one | 06:06 |
| chrsghoyt | yeah that documentation didn't seem to help me much | 06:09 |
| chrsghoyt | it seems to describe how to do it when you have at least some graphics working | 06:09 |
| chrsghoyt | I have none | 06:09 |
| chrsghoyt | my card is an evga 7800GT | 06:10 |
| chrsghoyt | I'm in Windows right now so I'll have to reboot to try that command out | 06:10 |
| chrsghoyt | there was some command to reconfigure xorg or something that I might need too | 06:11 |
| soldats | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:12 |
| chrsghoyt | ok I think it is time to go try it and then I'll come back and report on how it went | 06:14 |
| chrsghoyt | thanks for the help | 06:14 |
| soldats | !dualboot > soldats | 06:24 |
| chrsghoyt | I'm back and it worked | 06:25 |
| chrsghoyt | I have graphics now | 06:25 |
| soldats | yay | 06:25 |
| soldats | im glad | 06:25 |
| chrsghoyt | now I just need to do something similar for my wireless network card and I'll be able to get online in Linux | 06:26 |
| soldats | srry lost the page | 06:42 |
| chrsghoyt | looks like I might need to use NDISwrapper | 06:43 |
| chrsghoyt | I wonder if that will work with 64 bit Xubuntu | 06:44 |
| soldats | worth a shot. i dont really know about wireless im always connected to my router | 06:46 |
| chrsghoyt | yeah I have an ethernet jack in the wall but it isn't working right now | 06:47 |
| chrsghoyt | the wireless has been a good backup in Windows for me though | 06:47 |
| chrsghoyt | better than nothing | 06:48 |
| soldats | yea :) | 06:49 |

| TheSheep | iamsthitha: you can have much finer control (and opportunity to break things really bad) using sysv-rc-conf program that you can install from the repos | 16:23 |
| TheSheep | Ven]n: have you tried this solution? | 16:24 |
| iamsthitha | TheSheep: where's that? | 16:25 |

| Breakage | hi just formated to xubuntu from ubuntu to and im trying to set fonts like gnome.. on gnome I had a res of 1280x1024 with 10px font and 80dpi, but on xubuntu I use the same res but cant set font to 80dpi. I've tried in "~/.config/Xft.xrdb" by adding "Xft.dpi: 80" but it doesn't change the font size at all. My fonts and theme is default on 1280x1024 atm with nvidia card. Help please :)) | 17:22 |
| Ven]n | whats the difference between ; and # in config files really? | 17:31 |
| TheSheep | Ven]n: which config files? | 17:35 |
| Ven]n | does it matter? | 17:38 |
| Ven]n | heh | 17:38 |
| Ven]n | why use # in xorg.conf and not ; for instance? | 17:38 |
| TheSheep | Ven]n: # is the standard for comments in the unix world, pretty much | 17:48 |
| Ven]n | ok | 17:48 |
| TheSheep | Ven]n: Microsoft had to be different in irrlevant details, so they used ; instead | 17:48 |
| Ven]n | i just edited a file for some opera settings (the browser) | 17:54 |
| Ven]n | they used ; | 17:54 |
| TheSheep | yes, they use the same syntax as the windows .ini files | 17:55 |
| TheSheep | Ven]n: Opera started as a windows application | 17:56 |
| ADrop | hello. Since I upgraded to xubuntu 7.10 I can't find the power managment button in application > prefrence > screensaver settings. I wonder if there is another way to reach that. And there is not even this advanced tab in the screen saver settings. I have looked via the terminal and it says that I run gnome-screensaver (if that can be of any help) | 17:58 |
| Ven]n | TheSheep, yeah, i know :) | 17:59 |
| TheSheep | ADrop: yes, xubuntu switched to gnome-screensaver at some point | 18:01 |
| TheSheep | ADrop: I guess it doesn't hae advanced settings | 18:01 |
| ADrop | TheSheep: hmm yes I have read about this switch in teh forums and other help documents. You wouldn't know a way via the terminal where I could change the settings? | 18:04 |
| TheSheep | ADrop: no, sorry, I neverd owned a laptop so I wasn't interested | 18:06 |
| ADrop | TheSheep: oki, thanks anyway :) | 18:06 |
| Ven]n | is there a ppt viewer as light and quick as Abiword does doc? | 18:20 |
| vidd | is there a way to format a partion so the live cd can install? | 18:32 |
| Ven]n | i have a lot of dead suggestions in my "open with" list.. how do i remove them? | 19:10 |
| Breakage | what plugins go i need to install to make totem-xine play mp3s? i dont want to use gstreamer. | 20:15 |
| TheSheep | libxine-extracodecs | 20:15 |
| Breakage | thanks :) will try it now | 20:15 |
| Breakage | hmm tried that before but i get this error Package libxine-extracodecs is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 20:17 |
| Breakage | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 20:17 |
| Breakage | is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: ibxine1-ffmpegE: Package libxine-extracodecs has no installation candidate | 20:17 |
| TheSheep | !repos | 20:22 |
| ubotu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource | 20:22 |
| Breakage | TheSheep: Thanks check that I had the repos but tried libxine1-ffmpeg and that worked. | 20:24 |
| TheSheep | ah, it must have been renamed | 20:25 |
| Breakage | :) thanks for the help though | 20:25 |

| Deadweight42 | could anyone please run me through the steps of setting up a xubuntu/windows dual-boot? | 22:56 |
| TheSheep | Deadweight42: sure, install xubuntu on a machine with windows already instaleld. end. | 22:58 |
| TheSheep | Deadweight42: it will autodetect windows and set everything automatically | 22:58 |
| Deadweight42 | really? | 22:58 |
| bytor4232 | Yes. | 22:58 |
| bytor4232 | As long as windows was there first, you will have a menu to select Windows or Linux when the installer is done. | 22:59 |
| Deadweight42 | where would I download the installer then? | 22:59 |
| bytor4232 | xubuntu.com/get | 22:59 |
| Deadweight42 | cool, thanks a bunch :) | 22:59 |
| cookiemonster078 | i need help joining xubuntu to an existing xp network share. Anybody interested? | 23:05 |
| TheSheep | cookiemonster078: you need to install an application for that, it doesn't have any by default | 23:06 |
| TheSheep | cookiemonster078: pneighbourhood is one such an application | 23:07 |
| cookiemonster078 | in the repository? | 23:07 |
| TheSheep | pyneighbourhood | 23:07 |
| TheSheep | sorry | 23:07 |
| TheSheep | !info pyneighbourhood | 23:08 |
| ubotu | Package pyneighbourhood does not exist in gutsy | 23:08 |
| TheSheep | :/ | 23:08 |
| TheSheep | looks like it's not there anymore | 23:08 |
| TheSheep | smbnetfs seems to be better | 23:08 |
| cookiemonster078 | does that have a gui interface I am still learning command line | 23:09 |
| jared | is xubuntu similar to kubuntu? | 23:10 |
| somerville32 | It uses the Xfce4 desktop environment | 23:10 |
| TheSheep | cookiemonster078: I think that it's just a kind of virtual filesystem -- you "mount" it in some drectory, andt hen that directory seems to conatin your network neighbourhood | 23:10 |
| cookiemonster078 | ok sheep i will give it a shot | 23:11 |
| jared | XFCE4 isn't very good... | 23:14 |
| Ven]n | where is the default location for wallpapers? | 23:14 |
| cookiemonster078 | it can't seem to find the package for smbnetfs | 23:16 |
| TheSheep | cookiemonster078: I checked on hardy, sorry | 23:16 |
| TheSheep | cookiemonster078: there is smbfs though | 23:16 |
| TheSheep | and some gui utility for using it | 23:17 |
| TheSheep | cookiemonster078: here, found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb | 23:19 |
| cookiemonster078 | ok thanx. | 23:19 |
| jared | is xubuntu faster than other Ubuntu distros? | 23:20 |
| soldats | xfce is a smaller window manager and is supposed to run faster | 23:20 |
| jared | "supposed"? | 23:20 |
| TheSheep | jared: depends on what machine and what you do | 23:20 |
| jared | ok | 23:20 |
| TheSheep | jared: I see no difference on a 2Ghz cpu and 1GB ram, for example :) | 23:21 |
| jared | kthanks | 23:22 |
| jared | I'm using kubuntu, and it is a lot faster than ubuntu, but I can't get java working | 23:22 |
| TheSheep | jared: just install the sun-java6-* and select it as default in update-alternatives | 23:24 |
| jared | how do I install it? | 23:24 |
| TheSheep | jared: with the package manager | 23:25 |
| TheSheep | !java | 23:25 |
| ubotu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 23:25 |
| jared | how do I install the sun-java6-* | 23:28 |
| fiyawerx | xubuntu-restricted-extras i believe | 23:45 |
| fiyawerx | http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/metapackages/xubuntu-restricted-extras.html | 23:46 |
| soldats | or sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre | 23:47 |
| cookiemonster078 | Is the sheep still around | 23:59 |
