oliver_g_hey Stroganoff00:22
Stroganoffhi00:22
oliver_g_your icebuntu script is still running here...00:22
Stroganoffwhat is it doing?00:22
oliver_g_I hope it doesn't use up all space before finished :-)00:22
oliver_g_still setting up packages... gsfonts right now00:23
Stroganoffk00:23
oliver_g_thanks for adding network-manager00:23
Stroganoffi hope you havent chosen too many packages :D00:23
oliver_g_yes :-)00:23
oliver_g_will see...00:23
oliver_g_I have made a copy of the command-line online install from the SD card00:23
oliver_g_so can retry if it runs out of space now00:24
Stroganoffi haven't updated yet, you have to install gnome-system-tools manually to get network manager working00:24
oliver_g_ok00:25
oliver_g_hmm... is the wrong md5sum in gutsys flash packages still not fixed, or has adobe released yet another update?00:26
oliver_g_:-/00:26
Stroganoffi ran the script 3 hours ago including flash00:30
oliver_g_oh00:30
oliver_g_it said the usual "md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz" message00:31
oliver_g_not fatal, I will try a reinstall of flash later00:31
oliver_g_well it has finished!00:34
oliver_g_apparently without running out of space00:34
oliver_g_lets see how it comes up :-)00:35
zoredache!flash00:39
ubotuTo install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash00:39
oliver_g_Stroganoff: nice work :-D00:41
Stroganoff^^00:41
oliver_g_it boots up fine and gives a good desktop00:41
Stroganoffsudo apt-ret install orage dates-00:41
Stroganoffjust now i replaced dates with orage (calender on doubleclick-clock), is much faster00:42
Stroganoffanother bug: toolbar still shows firefox instead of swiftfox00:43
Stroganoffmousepad ~/.icewm/toolbar00:43
oliver_g_how can I start swiftfox manually?00:43
Stroganofflast release was kidn of rushed :D00:43
oliver_g_:-)00:43
Stroganoffswiftfox is in the main menu00:43
Stroganoffi'd edit the toolbar config00:44
oliver_g_wait, I think I didn't select swiftfox during installation00:44
Stroganoffthe swiftfox repository is included nonetheless00:45
oliver_g_ok, I have 477 MB left...00:45
oliver_g_1.2G used (plus 500 MB for swap)00:46
Stroganoffthat much swap00:46
Stroganoffare you going to run photoshop? ;)00:46
oliver_g_heh :-)00:46
oliver_g_I simply used default settings...00:46
oliver_g_but usually I have too few RAM/swap on any computer :-/00:47
Stroganoffdoes hibernate work?00:54
oliver_g_moment, will try...00:54
Stroganoffhttp://ubuntu-eee.tuxfamily.org/index.php5?title=How_to:_use_custom_Eee_Linux_kernel00:55
=== danielm_ is now known as danielm
oliver_g_it didn't hibernate when closing the lid (probably needs an acpi handler script)00:57
oliver_g_but it shut off and locked screen00:57
Stroganoffthe acpi deamon is selectable in my script00:57
Stroganoffok00:57
Stroganoffyou have to edit /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn to make it hibernate on lidclose00:59
Stroganoffi should add this to my script00:59
oliver_g_those are the eee-specific customizations01:00
oliver_g_ok, pressing power button starts suspend, but it then fails with "not enough swap space" (?)01:01
oliver_g_I will look at that tommorrow...01:01
oliver_g_it's quite late again :-)#01:01
oliver_g_thanks again for your script!01:01
oliver_g_see you01:01

zoredacheat the moment the answer may be yes... it is still beta, if your need your system to be stable I wouldn't switch yet19:03
zoredacheyou could look at the list of open bugs19:04
Ultraputzhow close are they to stable, do you know ?19:04
zoredachedon't really know19:04
Ultraputzmore mundane question -- is there anything other than awn that would function as a dock/launcher on a system that does not have a compositor enabled?19:07
Ultraputzer, like a nextstep or macos dock?19:07

cody-somervillekeonne, Have you considered Ubuntu?20:40
redwhitewaldohi there, i was speaking to someone here re: gphoto2. who was that? I was wondering what gphoto2 command to run to import all photos from digital cam AND delete all imported pics afterwards.21:06
danielmredwhitewaldo, check the manpage, there is a couple of --delete options21:09
oliver_g2hi21:09
redwhitewaldodanielm: yes, i see 2.21:10
redwhitewaldo-d, --delete-file=RANGE         Delete files given in range21:10
redwhitewaldo -D, --delete-all-files          Delete all files in folder21:10
redwhitewaldodanielm: u use gphoto2, too?21:10
danielmi use gThumb to import photos21:11
redwhitewaldodanielm: u prefer gui?21:11
redwhitewaldoi prefer gui, too, but i want to save memomry21:12
danielmif i'm not wrong, the gThumb backed is gphoto221:14
danielmwell.. i like gThumb, and isn't a very heavy software21:14
