mrwislrfirefox in xubuntu will not give me an option to "open with"   when downloading a document and such from webpages..... like email attachments.... it only gives the option to save as or cancel03:38
mrwislrplease help03:38
LetsGo67mrwislr: 3.0?03:43
mrwislryes03:43
mrwislrLetsGo67: yes03:45
CostaRicanQuakerwhat advantages are significant when choosing xubuntu as compared to kubuntu?03:45
LetsGo67mrwisir: sorry, not sure what to say.03:48
mrwislrxubuntu is speed03:48
LetsGo67CostaRicanQuaker: Xubuntu runs on 500mhz/256MB RAM/10GB hard drive better than (K)ubuntu.03:48
mrwislrkubuntu is flashy windows with too many options and controlled by trolltech03:49
mrwislrubuntu is mac like simple beauty03:49
mrwislrtied to no one but the community03:49
mrwislrkubuntu is heavy03:50
mrwislrxubuntu is light03:50
mrwislrubuntu is just right03:50
CostaRicanQuakertrolltech?03:50
mrwislryes trolltech03:50
CostaRicanQuakerwhat's that?03:50
CostaRicanQuaker!trolltech03:50
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about trolltech03:50
mrwislrcompany that is responsible for the qt library03:51
mrwislrwhich kde is built on03:51
mrwislrwhich is the interface to kubuntu03:51
LetsGo67Ubuntu has roughly the same requirements as Vista/Leopard.03:51
CostaRicanQuakerso xubuntu will run faster03:51
CostaRicanQuakerand it's simpler03:51
LetsGo67Xubuntu is more like Windows XP.03:51
mrwislrnot likely lets03:52
mrwislrxubuntu is more like classic mac03:52
LetsGo67Mac OS 9?  No way!03:52
LetsGo67(There is a skin that mimics it, though)03:52
mrwislrubuntu will fly on a machine that crawls with vista03:52
LetsGo67Maybe.03:52
CostaRicanQuakerand with xubuntu?03:52
LetsGo67I upgraded from 1GB to 3GB but it did nothing to Xubuntu's performance.03:53
LetsGo67RAM03:53
mrwislrxubuntu is very fast and simplistically beautiful03:53
CostaRicanQuakeris xubuntu faster than ubuntu?03:53
mrwislrbut it won't be quite as user friendly as ubuntu03:53
LetsGo67No way.03:53
mrwislryes lots faster03:53
LetsGo67No accessibility.03:53
LetsGo67JWM is the fastest.03:54
mrwislrjwm isn't a destkop though03:54
mrwislrlike the others03:54
CostaRicanQuakerwhat do you mean user friendly?03:54
mrwislrtake ubuntu03:54
CostaRicanQuakerwill i be able to switch from xp to xubuntu?03:54
mrwislrseriously dude03:54
mrwislrif your just getting into linux03:54
mrwislrtake ubuntu03:54
CostaRicanQuakerI prefer kubuntu to ubuntu though03:55
mrwislry?03:55
mrwislrbecause the task bar is on the bottom03:55
mrwislrplease03:55
mrwislrwindows thinking there03:55
CostaRicanQuakerseems simpler03:55
mrwislrbesides you can move and arrange the friggin toolbar however you want in ubuntu03:55
CostaRicanQuakerwhy not xubuntu then?03:56
CostaRicanQuakeri also want my girl to switch and she's got  pretty old laptop03:56
mrwislrbecause ubuntu is setup to be much more intuative and user friendly03:56
mrwislrxubuntu requires you to know quite a bit more about linux to truly enjoy it and get everything running03:57
CostaRicanQuakerhow long for me to learn it?03:58
mrwislrtake a good 3/4 months with ubuntu and you should have enough down to know what your doing for the most part03:59
CostaRicanQuakercan you open .doc files04:06
CostaRicanQuakerwith abi word04:06
CostaRicanQuakerand sve them04:06
CostaRicanQuakerso MS office will open them04:06
LetsGo67Thanks for your help guys, I'm heading off, ttyl.04:11

MrLukipelaSo.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, i am logged off.05:55
MrLukipelaAny ideas?05:55
Zeededhuh?06:00
BoltClockmy school computers run on 128 mb ram, is that enough for xubuntu?07:11
MrLukipelaYes07:11
MrLukipelaim running that right now :D07:11
BoltClockfunny, sources say i need more than that07:11
BoltClocklike 192 or even 256 mb07:11
BoltClockthose are for better performance i think?07:12
MrLukipelaGive me a minute and ill look at my system specs07:12
Zeededwell your sources are wrong07:12
MrLukipelabut im running on a laptop thats 9 years old.07:12
MrLukipelaerm 8 years old07:12
BoltClockim trying xubuntu by live cd now07:13
BoltClockbut its going to take me a little bit to get used to the differences from ubuntu07:13
MrLukipelaIm trying to get it to load all the way right now :D07:14
Zeededlol not really Bolt07:14
MrLukipelawhen i try to get a command prompt my system crashes07:14
ZeededI have been switching back and forth for a while now07:14
Zeededthere about the same07:14
Zeededyou just have to install some different stuff07:14
MrLukipelawhich is always fun, because we all know you dont need a command prompt for xubuntu :P07:14
Zeededand the interface is alittle bit different07:14
Zeededlol07:14
BoltClockcan see that Zeeded07:15
Zeededfunny jokes there07:15
BoltClockMrLukipelia lol07:15
BoltClockMrLukipela: weird, havent heard of such crashes07:15
MrLukipelaZeeded, im not sure wth i did, i updated my video drivers and now it crashes.07:15
MrLukipelaI have no clue what i did, and i cant get into terminal to check and see :D07:15
BoltClocki just hope my school computers allow me to boot from my thumb drive, im planning to install xubuntu on it07:16
Zeededlol sweet07:16
MrLukipelaIf they dont, all you have to do is get into the bios and make USB the primary boot deice07:16
BoltClockits 4 gb, but the fact that my school is so poor restricts me to xubuntu07:16
BoltClockMrLukipela: now im unsure if accessing the bios is allowed07:17
BoltClockmy school tends to get paranoid over these things07:18
MrLukipelaIt would be pretty tough to restrict BIOS access, reboot the PC, press f10 or f8 depending.07:18
BoltClocki cant believe i just text messaged my teacher asking if bios access is allowed07:24
MrLukipelai cant believe you have a teacher that knows how to text message07:24
BoltClocklol07:24
MrLukipelaAnyone in here actually know anything about Xubuntu, or do you all just lurk?07:35
BoltClocki lurk07:35
BoltClockand ask stuff07:35
MrLukipelai havent ever seen anyone answer a question in here :(07:36
BoltClocklol07:36
BoltClocki didnt know it was that bad for xubuntu07:36
MrLukipelahahahaha07:37
MrLukipelai broke it07:38
MrLukipelaok fixed07:38
MrLukipelaStill having the same terminal issue07:38
MrLukipelabut i can live without that07:39
the-ermIs there a way to manually save a session?09:08

the-ermThat is all ...09:09
Zeededyep09:10
the-ermGreat ... how?09:10
the-ermgnome has gnome-session-save :)09:11
the-ermalas I haven't found anything similar for xfce.09:11
ZeededNo clue ;/09:12
Zeeded:/09:13
the-ermYou wouldn't by chance know how to change the font size of the tool bar/menu?09:14
the-ermI guess I should look in the menu editor before I ask simple questions like this..09:14
the-ermAlas it is not there.09:17
BoltClockis it dependent on the machine itself whether changing bios boot settings is permanent or can be temporary?09:25
ValsumFont size in Settings\User interface09:48
ValsumBoltClock: I've only seen permanent ones. You save changes, and they're stored ;)09:49
BoltClockValsum: well... i dont think my school will be too happy seeing me boot xubuntu from my thumb drive then :S09:49
Valsumyou can restart later and put the boot settings in the bios back09:50
Rhorse:leave11:32

TheSheepMrLukipela: you have to ask a question18:07
* cody-somerville nods.18:07
MrLukipelaYah, sorry, been asking the same question for 3 days with no response.18:10
MrLukipelaHere is my issue: On Xubuntu, my screen has big black bars on the sides, when i run displayconfig-gtk and try to change it, it goes to low graphics mode.  I am using the correct driver, from what ive seen.  Any ideas?18:10
TheSheepMrLukipela: is that an lcd screen?18:14
MrLukipelaYes, its a laptop18:14
TheSheepMrLukipela: do you know what is its native resolution?18:14
MrLukipela1024x76818:15
MrLukipelaWhat its doing is puting it at 800x600 but instead of streatching to meet the screen it just centers it18:15
MrLukipelaStretching^18:15
TheSheepwhat does  lspci | grep VGA  say?18:16
TheSheep(type that in a terminal)18:16
MrLukipela.. i just tried to copy and paste from one computer to the other.18:16
TheSheepthere are programs that make it possible :)18:17
MrLukipelaVGA Compatible controller: intel corp. 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 11)18:17
MrLukipelaYah but im not loading synergy till i get the screen fixed :P18:17
TheSheepyou cannot switch to 1024x768 with displayconfig-gtk?18:18
MrLukipelaWhen i do it goes to low graphics mode.18:18
MrLukipelabrb.. wife is yelling ;)18:18
TheSheepeven if you select intel as the driver?18:19
dkkongThe onboard soundcard in my system doesn't work. I put in a Creative Labs SB Audigy, and lspci shows it's recognized, but I have no sound. Help?18:38
MrLukipelaYes, even if i select the intel drivers :D18:52
MrLukipelaTheSheep, Yes.  Even if i select the intel drivers.18:54
cyzieis smp not supported in kernel 2.6.24?19:00
TheSheepcyzie: it is19:20
cyzieyes, should go for the generic rather than 38619:21
cyzieiguess that's the different19:21
slow-motionhi19:35
cyziewhat is the default runlevel in xubuntu ?19:38
TheSheepcyzie: they are all the same19:39
cyziemm i just check, if you dont have inittab in /etc/, then it goes to runlevel 2.19:40
cyziewhy are you saying they are all the same ?19:40
TheSheepbecause there is no differencebetween them -- they all start the same services19:44
TheSheepexcept for the special ones, obviously19:44
cyziemmm, not really though, 0 to shut down, 1 for single mode, 5 for the x with multi user, 3 for no x multi users. 6 for reboot19:45
th0rcyzie, close. I think ubuntu uses 2-5 interchangeably, but 0,1,6 are correct. Your definitions of 2-5 are for suse/redhat19:47
cyzieth0r, check, /etc/event.d/rc-default . if you dont have inittab, it goes to N 2. so there is no interchangeably 2-5.19:48
cyzieanyway, strange that my hardy does not have /etc/inittab.. :-s19:49
th0rcyzie, right...2 is default, but I think 3,4,5 do the same thing in ubuntu. In suse, 2 is non-X, non-network, 3 is non-X with network, and 4 is X with no network19:50
th0rcyzie, http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html19:50
cyziei see. this runlevel eventually fall back to the services/daemon start configured in /etc/rc.X . ok, i think i have my answer default runlevel is 2 if it dont have /etc/inittab.19:51
cyziethanks th0r19:51
cyziehi, after we initiate connection to the ISP using pon, how does actually the dns process works?21:40
