| cppmonkey | I deleted all the old deb packages. so I have 156MB free before I login | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| cppmonkey | Any other things I could clear off would be great | 00:01 |
| evil_tech | thunar can't browse network file shares like nautilus does can it? | 00:05 |
| evil_tech | anyone? | 00:08 |
| cppmonkey | cheers Stroganoff | 00:16 |
| evil_tech | anyone? | 00:18 |
| cppmonkey | id help if I knew, thats one of the probs I have with Xubuntu. | 00:19 |
| Stroganoff | cppmonkey it can | 00:41 |
| Stroganoff | http://tomfichtner.de/linux/wiki/FuseSMB | 00:41 |
| Stroganoff | you should be able to uninstall old kernels with synaptic | 00:42 |
| Stroganoff | you can run sudo apt-get autoremove or even deborphan | 00:43 |
| cppmonkey | Stroganoff, if I login in with the GUI it makes my HD issue even worse, eBox web interface stops working | 00:43 |
| zoredache | if you are really hurting for space don't be afraid to remove the 'xubuntu-desktop' package. | 00:43 |
| cppmonkey | ive tried autoremove | 00:43 |
| cppmonkey | tried to remove the old kernal install 2.6.24-16 | 00:44 |
| Stroganoff | HD issue? | 00:44 |
| cppmonkey | well I mean the space | 00:44 |
| Stroganoff | so its full? | 00:44 |
| cppmonkey | reduces the space from 158MB to 69MB | 00:44 |
| cppmonkey | from what I understand the last 5% is reserved | 00:45 |
| cppmonkey | and its 96% full | 00:46 |
| zoredache | you really don't want to get that full... You start getting lots of fragmentation | 00:46 |
| cppmonkey | its CF card, so not as bad as it if wear a HD... but still not good | 00:47 |
| cppmonkey | think Im going to have to order a new 4GB card to replace this 2GB one | 00:47 |
| zoredache | if you don't care about docs you could truncate everything in /usr/share/doc/* | 00:48 |
| cppmonkey | thought 2GB would have been enough for basic OS with GUI to use as a router | 00:48 |
| zoredache | cppmonkey: most people don't put a gui on a router | 00:48 |
| zoredache | you build a web-interface for something like that | 00:49 |
| cppmonkey | its an actual PC, if you class an Via Epia PC as one... My mum uses it to surf the internet | 00:50 |
| cppmonkey | thats what eBox is for | 00:50 |
| cppmonkey | the main reason im using a non server version is because im still learning the ropes. I did try Ubuntu Server but it didnt have wvdial and it didnt reconize my E220 modem | 00:51 |

| homebrewcider | hi there, small problem, I went to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 via the alternate cd on 2 computers, 1 worked okay, the other, this one, seemed to go through the motions but still shows "upgrade available" at the update manager.

| klos | hey whats the optimal hardware for xubuntu ??? | 11:25 |
| TheSheep | klos: optimal for doing what? | 11:25 |
| klos | for unning it properly :) | 11:28 |
| klos | ive got an old ibm notebook here | 11:28 |
| klos | live install system is a pain but im wondering if it works better when its installed | 11:28 |
| TheSheep | it does, especially with low ram | 11:30 |
| TheSheep | but most of the time it's the actual application you are rnning that requires certain hardware | 11:30 |
| TheSheep | so it depends on what you do | 11:30 |

| homebrewcider | shall I click yes | 13:15 |
| TheSheep | depends on what you want to achieve :) | 13:16 |
| TheSheep | you need these packages? | 13:16 |
| homebrewcider | I did, I'll see what happens | 13:16 |

| homebrewcider | hmm | 13:22 |
| homebrewcider | looks good? | 13:23 |
| TheSheep | yeah | 13:23 |
| TheSheep | should be fixed now | 13:23 |
| homebrewcider | so I try upgrading again? | 13:25 |
| homebrewcider | is that what you mean? | 13:25 |
| TheSheep | no, it's fully upgraded already | 13:30 |
| TheSheep | the zeroes say so | 13:30 |
| homebrewcider | oh, it still says upggrade available on the update manager page | 13:31 |
| TheSheep | must be bug in the update manager | 13:34 |
| homebrewcider | ok cheers | 13:34 |
| homebrewcider | thanx | 13:34 |
| homebrewcider | the appearance of this computer didn't change, the other one, I did 2, changed markedly, different login screen | 13:35 |
| TheSheep | hmm... what does /etc/apt/sources.list say, feisty or hardy? | 13:37 |
| homebrewcider | checking | 13:38 |
| homebrewcider | top line says > deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted | 13:39 |
| TheSheep | hm... so it didn't add the hardy cd as a source | 13:40 |
| TheSheep | or are there other lines? | 13:40 |
| homebrewcider | I'll pastebin the whole lot if you want | 13:41 |
| homebrewcider | http://pastebin.ca/1056386 | 13:43 |
| TheSheep | homebrewcider: no hardy anywhere | 13:48 |
| homebrewcider | exactly, that's my point, it seems to have done nothing | 13:49 |
| homebrewcider | but I did exactly the same as for the opther computer | 13:49 |
| TheSheep | homebrewcider: you could try to add the cd as software source manually, with the software sources tool | 13:49 |
| homebrewcider | ok | 13:50 |
| homebrewcider | A distribution volume with software packages has been detected. | 13:51 |
| homebrewcider | Would you like to try to upgrade from it automatically? | 13:51 |
| homebrewcider | what I got last time | 13:51 |
| TheSheep | fun | 13:51 |
| homebrewcider | start ppackage manager? or run upgrade? | 13:51 |
| TheSheep | no idea | 13:52 |
| homebrewcider | seems I'm gonna say those famous last workds again | 13:53 |

| spasticteapot | Is there a tutorial anywhere for reducing the RAM use of Xubuntu? | 14:07 |
| spasticteapot | I've been told Evolution is a RAM-hog - can it be safely removed? | 14:07 |
| Myrtti | since when has evolution been installed with xubuntu? | 14:07 |
| Myrtti | or are you talking about evolution-data-servers or such? | 14:07 |
| MrNaz | spasticteapot if you need lower usage than xubuntu then realistically, ubuntu isnt really what you're after | 14:16 |
| MrNaz | try perhaps a base debian install with fluxbox | 14:16 |
| MrNaz | i havent tried it but its supposed to be lean and mean | 14:18 |

| TheSheep | firsm: maybe you must first delete all the failed thumbnails | 14:26 |
| firsm | TheSheep: I deleted ~/.thumbnails, but that didn't help | 14:28 |

| Genelyk | Hi | 22:33 |
| xbitcarry | Genelyk. | 22:33 |
| FunkyWyrm | Hiya folks. I've tried linux distributions before but always failed :( It seems I might fail with Xubuntu also... I can't seem to get it to install on my old laptop | 22:37 |
| FunkyWyrm | It's a Sony qr10 with 320Mb RAM, 650 celeron processor and 10Gb hard drive so there should be no problems. The desktop boot disk checks out ok but seems to hang soon after I select Install from the main window | 22:39 |
| Odd-rationale | FunkyWyrm: have you tried the alternative install cd? | 22:39 |
| Odd-rationale | !alternative | 22:40 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 22:40 |
| Odd-rationale | whoops, ubottu has the wrong link... | 22:40 |
| FunkyWyrm | ok. will try that... ran out of blank cds trying to get a decent image though | 22:40 |
| FunkyWyrm | :S | 22:41 |
| xbitcarry | I'll back... | 22:41 |
| FunkyWyrm | Thanks for the advice on the alternate cd. Was just wondering if this ws a common problem. | 22:42 |

| Odd-rationale | http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/hardy/release/xubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso | 22:42 |

| xbitcarry | I need a little help. | 23:12 |
| Odd-rationale | !ask | 23:12 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 23:12 |
| xbitcarry | Ja ja ja, ok, I'm thinking how to explain, because I don't speak english well, je je je | 23:14 |
| xbitcarry | Ok. | 23:14 |
| xbitcarry | I work in a office. | 23:15 |
| xbitcarry | I'm using xubuntu. | 23:15 |
| xbitcarry | And we have a printer (samsung 1610) but it's shared with xp in other machine. | 23:15 |
| xbitcarry | I tried to configure it using CUPS (127.0.0.1:631) but I don't find it in the network. | 23:16 |
| xbitcarry | In fact, I don't know if i have configured network! | 23:17 |
| xbitcarry | I've installed SAMBA, but I don't know how to probe if the network is working. | 23:17 |
| Odd-rationale | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP | 23:18 |
| Odd-rationale | whoops. wrong one... | 23:18 |
| xbitcarry | By the way, I'm using xubuntu 6.10 LTS. | 23:18 |
| Odd-rationale | xbitcarry: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter | 23:20 |
| xbitcarry | Ok, let me see... | 23:21 |
| xbitcarry | Thnak's for the link. | 23:21 |
| xbitcarry | Ups, in xubuntu I don't have the printers menú, only in CUPS, but ask me for user and pass, i've tried with my user and pass and isn't. | 23:27 |
| xbitcarry | I've tried with guest and not work. | 23:28 |
| Odd-rationale | xbitcarry: well, i really don't have much experience with network printing... sorry... | 23:29 |
| xbitcarry | Ok, Odd-rationale, thank's anyway. | 23:30 |
| xbitcarry | Someonce else? | 23:30 |

| xbitcarry | lanXX? | 23:34 |
| TheSheep | xbitcarry: no, sorry, I hate cups | 23:34 |
| zoredache | xbitcarry: printing is a fairly generic issue... you could ask in #ubuntu | 23:34 |
| TheSheep | I think there are some manuals | 23:34 |
