| mrwislr | firefox 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 cancel | 03:38 |
| mrwislr | please help | 03:38 |
| LetsGo67 | mrwislr: 3.0? | 03:43 |
| mrwislr | yes | 03:43 |
| mrwislr | LetsGo67: yes | 03:45 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what advantages are significant when choosing xubuntu as compared to kubuntu? | 03:45 |
| LetsGo67 | mrwisir: sorry, not sure what to say. | 03:48 |
| mrwislr | xubuntu is speed | 03:48 |
| LetsGo67 | CostaRicanQuaker: Xubuntu runs on 500mhz/256MB RAM/10GB hard drive better than (K)ubuntu. | 03:48 |
| mrwislr | kubuntu is flashy windows with too many options and controlled by trolltech | 03:49 |
| mrwislr | ubuntu is mac like simple beauty | 03:49 |
| mrwislr | tied to no one but the community | 03:49 |
| mrwislr | kubuntu is heavy | 03:50 |
| mrwislr | xubuntu is light | 03:50 |
| mrwislr | ubuntu is just right | 03:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | trolltech? | 03:50 |
| mrwislr | yes trolltech | 03:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what's that? | 03:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | !trolltech | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about trolltech | 03:50 |
| mrwislr | company that is responsible for the qt library | 03:51 |
| mrwislr | which kde is built on | 03:51 |
| mrwislr | which is the interface to kubuntu | 03:51 |
| LetsGo67 | Ubuntu has roughly the same requirements as Vista/Leopard. | 03:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so xubuntu will run faster | 03:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and it's simpler | 03:51 |
| LetsGo67 | Xubuntu is more like Windows XP. | 03:51 |
| mrwislr | not likely lets | 03:52 |
| mrwislr | xubuntu is more like classic mac | 03:52 |
| LetsGo67 | Mac OS 9? No way! | 03:52 |
| LetsGo67 | (There is a skin that mimics it, though) | 03:52 |
| mrwislr | ubuntu will fly on a machine that crawls with vista | 03:52 |
| LetsGo67 | Maybe. | 03:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and with xubuntu? | 03:52 |
| LetsGo67 | I upgraded from 1GB to 3GB but it did nothing to Xubuntu's performance. | 03:53 |
| LetsGo67 | RAM | 03:53 |
| mrwislr | xubuntu is very fast and simplistically beautiful | 03:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | is xubuntu faster than ubuntu? | 03:53 |
| mrwislr | but it won't be quite as user friendly as ubuntu | 03:53 |
| LetsGo67 | No way. | 03:53 |
| mrwislr | yes lots faster | 03:53 |
| LetsGo67 | No accessibility. | 03:53 |
| LetsGo67 | JWM is the fastest. | 03:54 |
| mrwislr | jwm isn't a destkop though | 03:54 |
| mrwislr | like the others | 03:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what do you mean user friendly? | 03:54 |
| mrwislr | take ubuntu | 03:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | will i be able to switch from xp to xubuntu? | 03:54 |
| mrwislr | seriously dude | 03:54 |
| mrwislr | if your just getting into linux | 03:54 |
| mrwislr | take ubuntu | 03:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | I prefer kubuntu to ubuntu though | 03:55 |
| mrwislr | y? | 03:55 |
| mrwislr | because the task bar is on the bottom | 03:55 |
| mrwislr | please | 03:55 |
| mrwislr | windows thinking there | 03:55 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | seems simpler | 03:55 |
| mrwislr | besides you can move and arrange the friggin toolbar however you want in ubuntu | 03:55 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | why not xubuntu then? | 03:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i also want my girl to switch and she's got pretty old laptop | 03:56 |
| mrwislr | because ubuntu is setup to be much more intuative and user friendly | 03:56 |
| mrwislr | xubuntu requires you to know quite a bit more about linux to truly enjoy it and get everything running | 03:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how long for me to learn it? | 03:58 |
| mrwislr | take a good 3/4 months with ubuntu and you should have enough down to know what your doing for the most part | 03:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | can you open .doc files | 04:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | with abi word | 04:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and sve them | 04:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so MS office will open them | 04:06 |
| LetsGo67 | Thanks for your help guys, I'm heading off, ttyl. | 04:11 |
| LetsGo67 | (IMO AbiWord > OO.o) | 04:11 |
| MrLukipela | So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, i am logged off. | 05:55 |
| MrLukipela | Any ideas? | 05:55 |
| Zeeded | huh? | 06:00 |
| BoltClock | my school computers run on 128 mb ram, is that enough for xubuntu? | 07:11 |
| MrLukipela | Yes | 07:11 |
| MrLukipela | im running that right now :D | 07:11 |
| BoltClock | funny, sources say i need more than that | 07:11 |
| BoltClock | like 192 or even 256 mb | 07:11 |
| BoltClock | those are for better performance i think? | 07:12 |
| MrLukipela | Give me a minute and ill look at my system specs | 07:12 |
| Zeeded | well your sources are wrong | 07:12 |
| MrLukipela | but im running on a laptop thats 9 years old. | 07:12 |
| MrLukipela | erm 8 years old | 07:12 |
| BoltClock | im trying xubuntu by live cd now | 07:13 |
| BoltClock | but its going to take me a little bit to get used to the differences from ubuntu | 07:13 |
| MrLukipela | Im trying to get it to load all the way right now :D | 07:14 |
| Zeeded | lol not really Bolt | 07:14 |
| MrLukipela | when i try to get a command prompt my system crashes | 07:14 |
| Zeeded | I have been switching back and forth for a while now | 07:14 |
| Zeeded | there about the same | 07:14 |
| Zeeded | you just have to install some different stuff | 07:14 |
| MrLukipela | which is always fun, because we all know you dont need a command prompt for xubuntu :P | 07:14 |
| Zeeded | and the interface is alittle bit different | 07:14 |
| Zeeded | lol | 07:14 |
| BoltClock | can see that Zeeded | 07:15 |
| Zeeded | funny jokes there | 07:15 |
| BoltClock | MrLukipelia lol | 07:15 |
| BoltClock | MrLukipela: weird, havent heard of such crashes | 07:15 |
| MrLukipela | Zeeded, im not sure wth i did, i updated my video drivers and now it crashes. | 07:15 |
| MrLukipela | I have no clue what i did, and i cant get into terminal to check and see :D | 07:15 |
| BoltClock | i just hope my school computers allow me to boot from my thumb drive, im planning to install xubuntu on it | 07:16 |
| Zeeded | lol sweet | 07:16 |
| MrLukipela | If they dont, all you have to do is get into the bios and make USB the primary boot deice | 07:16 |
| BoltClock | its 4 gb, but the fact that my school is so poor restricts me to xubuntu | 07:16 |
| BoltClock | MrLukipela: now im unsure if accessing the bios is allowed | 07:17 |
| BoltClock | my school tends to get paranoid over these things | 07:18 |
| MrLukipela | It would be pretty tough to restrict BIOS access, reboot the PC, press f10 or f8 depending. | 07:18 |
| BoltClock | i cant believe i just text messaged my teacher asking if bios access is allowed | 07:24 |
| MrLukipela | i cant believe you have a teacher that knows how to text message | 07:24 |
| BoltClock | lol | 07:24 |
| MrLukipela | Anyone in here actually know anything about Xubuntu, or do you all just lurk? | 07:35 |
| BoltClock | i lurk | 07:35 |
| BoltClock | and ask stuff | 07:35 |
| MrLukipela | i havent ever seen anyone answer a question in here :( | 07:36 |
| BoltClock | lol | 07:36 |
| BoltClock | i didnt know it was that bad for xubuntu | 07:36 |
| MrLukipela | hahahaha | 07:37 |
| MrLukipela | i broke it | 07:38 |
| MrLukipela | ok fixed | 07:38 |
| MrLukipela | Still having the same terminal issue | 07:38 |
| MrLukipela | but i can live without that | 07:39 |
| the-erm | Is there a way to manually save a session? | 09:08 |
| the-erm | Is there a way to enable a right-click on grouped task to "close all" | 09:09 |
| the-erm | That is all ... | 09:09 |
| Zeeded | yep | 09:10 |
| the-erm | Great ... how? | 09:10 |
| the-erm | gnome has gnome-session-save :) | 09:11 |
| the-erm | alas I haven't found anything similar for xfce. | 09:11 |
| Zeeded | No clue ;/ | 09:12 |
| Zeeded | :/ | 09:13 |
| the-erm | You wouldn't by chance know how to change the font size of the tool bar/menu? | 09:14 |
| the-erm | I guess I should look in the menu editor before I ask simple questions like this.. | 09:14 |
| the-erm | Alas it is not there. | 09:17 |
| BoltClock | is it dependent on the machine itself whether changing bios boot settings is permanent or can be temporary? | 09:25 |
| Valsum | Font size in Settings\User interface | 09:48 |
| Valsum | BoltClock: I've only seen permanent ones. You save changes, and they're stored ;) | 09:49 |
| BoltClock | Valsum: well... i dont think my school will be too happy seeing me boot xubuntu from my thumb drive then :S | 09:49 |
| Valsum | you can restart later and put the boot settings in the bios back | 09:50 |
| Rhorse | :leave | 11:32 |
| xTheSaintx | yo guys | 15:24 |
| xTheSaintx | How do i get the cube effect on xubuntu? | 15:24 |
| xTheSaintx | Anyone? | 15:29 |
| siggjen | you can set it in advanced desktop effect settings | 15:30 |
| xTheSaintx | and were do i find that? | 15:40 |
| siggjen | i use to find it in system/prefs | 15:50 |
| TheSheep | siggjen: that's in ubuntu | 15:53 |
| siggjen | oki, just execute ccsm then | 15:54 |
| TheSheep | siggjen: ccsm? | 15:57 |
| siggjen | compizconfig-settings-manager | 15:58 |
| TheSheep | siggjen: no such thing in xubuntu default install | 16:00 |
| siggjen | probably time to install it then | 16:01 |
| TheSheep | siggjen: why not isnatll whole gnome then? | 16:02 |
| xTheSaintx | TheSheep how do i get gnome? | 16:12 |
| TheSheep | xTheSaintx: install ubuntu :) | 16:13 |
| TheSheep | xTheSaintx: xubuntu doesn't have such special effects, you can add them by installing compiz, but it's not standard xubuntu then | 16:13 |
| TheSheep | !compiz | 16:13 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 16:14 |

| xTheSaintx | So i got xubuntu | 16:21 |
| TheSheep | ubuntu wouldn't really go fast because of, mong other things, cube desktop | 16:28 |
| MrLukipela | So am i ever going to be able to get support for xubuntu or should i just uninstall and go back to windows..? | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | MrLukipela: you have to ask a question | 18:07 |
| * cody-somerville nods. | 18:07 | |
| MrLukipela | Yah, sorry, been asking the same question for 3 days with no response. | 18:10 |
| MrLukipela | Here 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 |
| TheSheep | MrLukipela: is that an lcd screen? | 18:14 |
| MrLukipela | Yes, its a laptop | 18:14 |
| TheSheep | MrLukipela: do you know what is its native resolution? | 18:14 |
| MrLukipela | 1024x768 | 18:15 |
| MrLukipela | What its doing is puting it at 800x600 but instead of streatching to meet the screen it just centers it | 18:15 |
| MrLukipela | Stretching^ | 18:15 |
| TheSheep | what 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 |
| TheSheep | there are programs that make it possible :) | 18:17 |
| MrLukipela | VGA Compatible controller: intel corp. 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 11) | 18:17 |
| MrLukipela | Yah but im not loading synergy till i get the screen fixed :P | 18:17 |
| TheSheep | you cannot switch to 1024x768 with displayconfig-gtk? | 18:18 |
| MrLukipela | When i do it goes to low graphics mode. | 18:18 |
| MrLukipela | brb.. wife is yelling ;) | 18:18 |
| TheSheep | even if you select intel as the driver? | 18:19 |
| dkkong | The 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 |
| MrLukipela | Yes, even if i select the intel drivers :D | 18:52 |
| MrLukipela | TheSheep, Yes. Even if i select the intel drivers. | 18:54 |
| cyzie | is smp not supported in kernel 2.6.24? | 19:00 |
| TheSheep | cyzie: it is | 19:20 |
| cyzie | yes, should go for the generic rather than 386 | 19:21 |
| cyzie | iguess that's the different | 19:21 |
| slow-motion | hi | 19:35 |
| cyzie | what is the default runlevel in xubuntu ? | 19:38 |
| TheSheep | cyzie: they are all the same | 19:39 |
| cyzie | mm i just check, if you dont have inittab in /etc/, then it goes to runlevel 2. | 19:40 |
| cyzie | why are you saying they are all the same ? | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | because there is no differencebetween them -- they all start the same services | 19:44 |
| TheSheep | except for the special ones, obviously | 19:44 |
| cyzie | mmm, 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 reboot | 19:45 |
| th0r | cyzie, close. I think ubuntu uses 2-5 interchangeably, but 0,1,6 are correct. Your definitions of 2-5 are for suse/redhat | 19:47 |
| cyzie | th0r, 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 |
| cyzie | anyway, strange that my hardy does not have /etc/inittab.. :-s | 19:49 |
| th0r | cyzie, 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 network | 19:50 |
| th0r | cyzie, http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html | 19:50 |
| cyzie | i 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 |
| cyzie | thanks th0r | 19:51 |

| gofigure | Hey UBuntuers I am a sorta IRC and UBUNTU noob and have a question | 21:50 |
| gofigure | I once installed a different linux distro and when I pressed ctrl-alt-F4, I would get a command line terminal. Does Ubuntu have a similar feature?? | 21:52 |
| gofigure | Cause my hardy heron doesn't do anything | 21:52 |
| gofigure | hello? | 21:53 |
| cyzie | u need /etc/inittab | 21:54 |
| gofigure | cyzie my new friend! | 21:54 |
| gofigure | Thank allah for you! | 21:54 |
| gofigure | i have heard of this initab thing before | 21:54 |
| gofigure | Do I need to put something in it?? | 21:55 |
| cyzie | yes | 21:55 |
