[02:16] <sonic_> Rhorse: why should I use fluxbuntu? I have 192 RAM.
[02:16] <sonic_> how do I figure out why the install failed?
[02:17] <sonic_> the same happens with all ubuntu based installers

[02:44] <Floodge> When connecting to a wireless network, Xubuntu will "attempt to connect" and then stop, what can I do to get it to connect?
[03:01] <bad_cables> well i have to say that the fix for the small fonts works... but only after i restarted 3 times
[03:02] <bad_cables> sorry for that blow-out last night... boy was i angry when it didnt work when i logged in
[03:02] <bad_cables> now it works
[07:17] <Dingbat> hello
[10:08] <Nick3> hello, i have a problem with my wireless 3com 3crusb10075 in xubuntu
[10:08] <Nick3> it worked out the box but then i think i accidentally did something but now it won't connect to anything
[10:08] <Nick3> it still finds wireless networks but it can't connect
[10:09] <Nick3> is there a way to like reset all internet settings?
[10:09] <Nick3> because i tried on my other comp with Xubuntu and it worked perfectly
[10:34] <Epicenter> Hello! I am looking to reinstall Ubuntu but "Gutsy" has Xorg v1.3 which has serious issues with the siliconmotion card in my laptop. I want to get an older version that has 1.2. Which would you guys recommend? Thank you!
[10:40] <Epicenter> Why can't I download 7.04 anywhere? Just 6.06.1 and 7.10? I just want the next step down from 7.10 that has Xorg 1.2; Xorg 1.3 has major problems with my Silicon Motion-based video card.
[11:49] <age6racer> hi all I just reinstalled Xubuntu over the top of an existing installation. Everything is working pretty well but i can't seem to add/remove items from the autostarted applications tool. Where is the config file for this and why can I not write to it?
[11:52] <TheSheep> age6racer: there are two, local in your home in .config/autostart, and a global one in /etc/xdg/autostart
[11:52] <shadowkernel> you may check the permission of .config
[11:54] <age6racer> shadowkernel: My user owns .config and has read/write permissions
[11:56] <age6racer> TheSheep: Thanks for that info. Do you know what I need to do in order to change what starts? do i just delete the files relating to the ones I dont want? and do i create new ones for new apps? why does the autostarted apps tool not work?
[12:01] <TheSheep> age6racer: you edit these files and add 'disable=true' or something like that, not sure, there is a freedesktop.org spec for that
[13:04] <Epicenter> Hello! I am looking for a VERY, VERY fast file manager for X. I used to have XFE but now I am running feisty, and it seesm to be in Gutsy only. Can anyone make a recommendation? Thanks! :)
[13:05] <TheSheep> mc
[13:06] <Epicenter> mc?
[13:07] <Epicenter> I do need a gui :)
[13:11] <Epicenter> TheSheep: know a good fast X11 one?
[13:14] <TheSheep> thunar
[13:18] <Epicenter> Thanks. :) think I'll go with XFE, found a working .deb on the author's site
[13:18] <Epicenter> but will keep thunar around in case it gives me trouble
[13:32] <Da_Putzler> hi folks, does xUbuntu detect usb digital cameras and let you download photos like ubuntu does ?
[13:34] <TheSheep> Da_Putzler: I think it supports fewer cameras, but youcan install gthumb and have it the same as in gnome
[13:34] <Da_Putzler> so it's basically gthumb that deals with the photo side of things ?
[16:50] <RoboCop> when will the next version of *buntu going to release ?
[17:42] <schokoforum> hello
[17:42] <ere4si> !hi
[17:42] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu!
[17:43] <schokoforum> well, i'm installing Xubuntu and i have a problem
[17:43] <schokoforum> :P
[17:44] <zoredache> perhaps you should elaborate.  I don't think any of us will try and interrogate you
[17:44] <schokoforum> after some time there is an error and the box says me, that there is a problem with the DVD-drive or the harddisk
[17:45] <schokoforum> is it possible to take the Disk out of the drive to clean it?
[17:45] <zoredache> did you run an checksum scan on the disk?
[17:46] <zoredache> did you check the md5 sums on the iso you downloaded?
[17:46] <schokoforum> you mean the option when i start the system?
[17:46] <schokoforum> eeehm, no
[17:46] <zoredache> yes there is an option at bootup to check the disk
[17:47] <zoredache> well I would start by trying that.  If it tells you your cd is bad, then either means you have a bad optical drive, or a bad burn of the ubuntu disk
[17:47] <schokoforum> well so i have to restart my computer....
[17:47] <schokoforum> mmmh, i hope, i have a bad burn...
[17:48] <schokoforum> but the optical drive isn't the newest
[17:50] <schokoforum> thank you i will now be away from the chat and if i don't come back, i had success, if i come back, there are two possibilities: 1st i want to meet you and 2nd i still have the problem...
[17:51] <zoredache> :)
[20:12]  * Che-Anarc thinks Ubuntu off of livecd is tooo slow.
[22:23] <rww> Hmm. I have an Ubuntu 7.10 live CD. My CD burner is currently broken. Is there a relatively easy way of installing Xubuntu from an Ubuntu live CD, without ending up with tonnes of unnecessary packages being left over from Ubuntu?
[22:26] <deeps> rww: are you on a linux based system already?
[22:27] <TheSheep> rww: look at the instructions for installing from knoppix, for example:
[22:27] <TheSheep> !install | rww
[22:27] <ubotu> rww: ntation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - Also /msg ubotu automate
[22:45] <isul> xubuntu doesn't come with a vnc server, how can I get one?
[22:57] <zoredache> try apt-get install x11vnc
[22:58] <zoredache> or search for 'vnc' in the package manager and choose your favorite
[23:00] <isul> it says package not found, and there are no results for that search in "Add/Remove..."
[23:01] <zoredache> do you have the 'universe' respositories enabled?
[23:03] <isul> no clue.  it's a fresh install
[23:04] <zoredache> !repos
[23:05] <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 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[23:10] <isul> thanks
