david_-_-hello if i install xubuntu by this sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop then later on decide to delete it and do sudo aptitude --purge remove xubuntu-desktop and sudo aptitude --purge remove xubuntu will that delete all xubuntu codecs files and folders and programs and other xubuntu stuff?03:47
nickellerydavid_-_-: I believe so03:47

Utalcn2mei cannot get the xubuntu-usplash to load on startup or exit, anyone have any ideas?  i uninstalled and reinstalled xubuntu-usplash-artwork to no avail03:49
curiogeoI have a simple question about repair03:53
curiogeoI set up a xub 6.06 server that appears to be in trouble03:53
curiogeoI would like to repair the install03:53
curiogeocan I just pop the live cd in or the alternate cd in and run the install again to repair system files and the kernel03:54
curiogeowithout losing existing data03:54
curiogeoconfig I don't mind losing but I would like to keep my files03:55
curiogeosorry for the W word but windows allows you to install this way03:56
curiogeoinstall repair03:56
KillerOrcacuriogeo: I know the 7.04 alternate cd had the repair a broken system option04:00
KillerOrcacuriogeo: But I have never used it so you might want to google first04:00
curiogeoI will try googling04:02
curiogeoI tried earlier but was not happy with the results04:02
KillerOrcacuriogeo: it might help if you put in "restore ubunutu 6.06' or restore server ubuntu04:06
KillerOrcacuriogeo: restricting it to xubuntu may limit results04:07
KillerOrcaAnyone have any apache experience?04:07
david_-_-nickellery: i think i will run xubuntu through vb so i do not have to deal with all that stuff and i can be in my main easly as well04:19
Utalcn2mei screwed up my usplash, can anyone tell me how to fix it?04:31

ere4si!usplash | Utalcn2me05:26
ere4sithe bots dead - I forgot05:27
ere4siUtalcn2me: run this command and tell us the output pls - sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u05:28
Utalcn2meyea, i probably will download and install fresh - so everything should be right05:28
ere4sik05:28
Utalcn2mebeen there done that, everything was ok with it, but no usplash on exit or startup05:29
ere4sidid you sudo update-grub after that command?05:30
Utalcn2mei started hardy by using an alpha with ozos-desktop then went to xubuntu05:30
w00thello, how do i set a "open terminal here" command in my thunar right click menu?05:30
Utalcn2meno i didn't , do you think that would help?05:30
Utalcn2meill give it a shot and see what happens05:31
ere4siUtalcn2me: that commands rebuilds the bit that shows the usplash - you need to let grub know with an update05:31
Utalcn2mei read a ubuntu wiki, but they didn't mention that - thanks!05:32
ere4sinp05:32
Utalcn2mei have xubuntu-artwork-usplash installed, and it's selected in update-alternatives, but when update-grub runs, it says - Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...05:35
ere4siUtalcn2me: then you need to install one05:36
ere4siUtalcn2me: the   sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u    command would have said it didn't find one05:37
Utalcn2mei ran that, and it has *         1    /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-xubuntu.so set as the default05:39
ere4siUtalcn2me: can you run it again and update grub again?05:40
ere4siUtalcn2me: and if it fails again browse to that file in /usr/lib and see if it exists05:41
Utalcn2meso, i got something broke, i think it may be that the alpha ozos disk i used was using dev packages, and now im not. i will run it and reboot in a lil bit05:41

alado2is it possible to run this disk check that runs sometime at start up from inside ubuntu/xubuntu?10:48
ere4sialado2: the disk check is called   fsck   and it needs to run on unmounted filesystems - if I need to I run it from the live cd10:49
ere4siman fsck  for options10:50
alado2<ere4si> ok, i'll have a look10:50
alado2but i could actually unmount a disk and then check it?10:51
alado2in the man page i cant see anything about the doing it on an unmounted disk though, looks like you can do it on already mounted as well10:53
suriroalado2: is it ext3?10:57
alado2yes10:57
surirothen read man fsck.ext310:57
alado2<suriro>: ok that was something different, thnx10:59
alado2but i assume its safe to just unmount the disk and then run it11:00
ere4sialado2: I made the comment about unmounted filesystems 'cause some people will try to run it on / and that won't work - if you unount the partition you can run it from xubuntu11:08
alado2<ere4si> yes i understood that now, i just wanted to do it on my other disks anyway so that works, thnx for the help though11:10

realHansHi: 1. Is xubuntu as fast as on a usual Laptop ? 2. Is fast graphic supportet (for games and smooth scrolling in browser ? - I have bad experience with 8.04 and powerpc ...)13:39

killsalad hi all i've got a problem with ltsp-bulid-client it fails to complete and complains about lacks of package xubuntu-artwork-usplash?14:05
realHansis xubuntu as fast as on a usual pc ?14:30
surirorealHans: what unusual thing are you comparing it to?14:44
realHanscompared to a usual pc ... about 2 GHz and 1 gb Ram ...14:44
realHansbecause the xbox has only 64 MB ram ...14:45
suriroI dont think anything 1gb can be the same as it is on 64mb14:47
suriromaybe you should seek for some "linux on xbox" special distro and experiences of its community, rather than a generic distro like Ubuntu14:56
realHanssuriro: i thought xubuntu is for ubuntu on xbox ?15:19
