| akatsuki | hello, i wonder if xubuntu 8.04 is exactly the same thing as ubuntu 8.04? | 10:20 |
| akatsuki | just using xfce? | 10:20 |
| akatsuki | in that case if i install xfce to ubuntu would be the same thing? | 10:20 |
| ablomen | akatsuki, yeah xubuntu is mostly just normal ubuntu with xubuntu-desktop installed in the place of ubuntu-dekstop | 10:24 |
| ablomen | (those are meta packages that install the default applications etc) | 10:25 |
| akatsuki | i see | 10:25 |
| akatsuki | i really want to give a try to xubuntu since my laptop is not that great | 10:25 |
| akatsuki | xubuntu may run better on my laptop | 10:25 |
| akatsuki | i will try it | 10:25 |
| ablomen | cool :) | 10:26 |
| akatsuki | but since im newbie, im worry about something.. usually there is a lot of documentation for ubuntu and tutorial for example the way i got my wifi working | 10:26 |
| akatsuki | but some guy told me that the same commands lines will not work for xubuntu, that i need to change it abit? | 10:26 |
| akatsuki | i wonder what is that | 10:26 |
| ablomen | ehm.. well it should just work, if the script depends on some gnome apps, you can just keep those gnome apps | 10:27 |
| akatsuki | but since ubuntu use gedit and xubuntu use | 10:27 |
| akatsuki | another one i dont remember the name | 10:27 |
| akatsuki | i cant use gedit anymore | 10:27 |
| ablomen | mousepad | 10:27 |
| akatsuki | yeah that one | 10:27 |
| ablomen | but yeah you can use gedit | 10:27 |
| akatsuki | i see | 10:28 |
| akatsuki | had anyone try fluxbox on xubuntu before? | 10:28 |
| ablomen | i run xubuntu but use gedit for my job, it works exactly the same on xubuntu as on ubuntu :) | 10:28 |
| akatsuki | i see | 10:28 |
| akatsuki | does fluxbux ist more lighweight han gnome? | 10:29 |
| akatsuki | then | 10:29 |
| akatsuki | than* | 10:29 |
| ablomen | yeah used flux/open/blackbox | 10:29 |
| ablomen | well it is more lightweight if you make it more lightweight, if you for example use fluxbox but still use nautilus to browse your files you wont get a lot of speed difference | 10:30 |
| ablomen | same for any window manager/desktop envoirement | 10:30 |
| ablomen | but yeah if you say use openbox+thunar+midori its a lot lighter then gnome+nautilus+firefox | 10:31 |

| krox | hi all | 13:53 |
| Yawg | i'm in the process of installing xubuntu on a decTOP and i'm stuck at "could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6..." | 15:34 |
| Yawg | thought maybe this comes up often | 15:36 |
| TheSheep | Yawg: first time I see it, google might know something | 15:36 |
| Yawg | yeah i'm looking, a few people mention it but i don't see a solution yet | 15:36 |
| TheSheep | Yawg: btw, did you check teh cd for defects? | 15:37 |
| Yawg | yes, it said there were but i'm not using the cd anymore, i'm far enough in where i can do the rest over the network | 15:37 |
| TheSheep | you know, just in case | 15:37 |
| TheSheep | maybe it failed on some part that was required... | 15:37 |
| Yawg | i burned it twice and it failed twice | 15:38 |
| Yawg | so i figured it would always fail | 15:38 |
| Yawg | i had to use the usb live install method | 15:38 |
| Yawg | and i figured tht was causing the fail | 15:38 |
| Yawg | here is the more specific error: | 15:40 |
| Yawg | err, the line it failed on | 15:40 |
| Yawg | dpkg --force-depends --install var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-10ubuntu3_i386.deb | 15:41 |
| jdawiz | anyone know why when I rebooted my xubuntu 8.04 I now get the blue background and some of the programs I had running when I restarted (pidgin and update manager) . I do not have a top bar nor bottom and right clicking doesn't not offer any menus | 15:45 |
| jdawiz | i had searched in forums but didn't find anything that helped me | 15:47 |
| TheSheep | jdawiz: I don't why it's so, but I know how to fix it | 15:49 |
| TheSheep | jdawiz: press alt+f2 and type 'xfce4-panel' and press enter | 15:50 |
| TheSheep | jdawiz: then press alt+f2 again and type 'xfdesktop' and press enter | 15:50 |
| TheSheep | jdawiz: then log out, making sure the 'save session' checkbox is on | 15:50 |
| jdawiz | wow.. you the man | 15:51 |
| jdawiz | thanks a lot | 15:51 |
| jdawiz | or woman | 15:51 |
| jdawiz | sorry | 15:51 |
| TheSheep | there is no gender on irc :) | 15:57 |
| jdawiz | exactly .. so i am not sure what the pc statement is for you the man ... ... lol | 16:00 |
| Yawg | man means human unless it obviously means male | 16:07 |
| jdawiz | ty | 16:24 |
| th0r | How do you make the xfce panel assume 'normal' status...that is, not always on top of other windows | 16:32 |
| mortal1 | it doesn't seem like xubuntu's memory foot print is that much lower than ubuntu's is it? | 16:36 |
| mortal1 | i mean, with xub desktop loaded up, it takes up like 120mb vs 160 for ubuntu | 16:37 |
| mortal1 | granted, if you only have 128mb of ram that'd make a big diff, but most comps these days have 512 | 16:37 |
| mortal1 | even the old ones | 16:38 |
| th0r | mortal1, I stick with xfce not because of memory issues, but overall performance. | 16:38 |
| mortal1 | yeah I like it well enough | 16:39 |
| th0r | mortal1, that and the fact you cannot have a clean desktop in gnome or kde | 16:39 |
| mortal1 | I think next time, I'm gona do a ubuntu install, and then install the xub desk along side it | 16:39 |
| mortal1 | that way I'll have those gnome apps that don't have good replacements in xub | 16:40 |
| mortal1 | ...and, OO.org looks funky | 16:40 |
| mortal1 | th0r, do you use the latest version of vuze? | 16:41 |
| th0r | vuze? | 16:53 |
| th0r | mortal1, I have done that before...installed ubuntu and then added xfce...just decided to take the lazy way this time | 16:54 |
| th0r | mortal1, I will probably add all the gnome stuff by the time I am done. But I don't use many of the panel apps or things like that | 16:54 |
| T045T | hi | 19:13 |
| T045T | I'm having trouble booting the xubuntu 8.04 liveCD ... the only hints I have are the following three lines of output (truncated) "ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct ...." "ata2.00: cmd a0/00:00:00..." "ata2.00: status: {DRDY}" | 19:15 |
| T045T | any ideas? | 19:16 |
| palace_music | Hi folks, newb question: when I try to open F-Spot photo manager and Banshee music player, I get error messages saying that DBUS is not installed properly. Can anyone point to info on DBUS? How do I ensure that it is set up properly? | 19:43 |
| ere4si | I get a similar message when I use gksu thunar / - how do we sort it out? | 19:49 |
| palace_music | I just found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=260f4b5055f5e478d482c6f7794e1212&t=465473&page=1 | 19:53 |
| th0r | does anyone know of a way to make the xfce panel NOT 'stay on top' | 20:07 |
| ere4si | thor:you can select autohide in its' configuration | 20:09 |
| th0r | ere4si, yeah, but I ddidn't want to hide it per se, just make it act like a normal window | 20:10 |
| th0r | ere4si, 90% of the tiime I want it visible, but when I maximize a window I want it to maximize, and the panel in the bottom corner stops it from doing that | 20:11 |
| ere4si | thor:I think it is set up to be visible at all times - autohiding it is the only thing I've found to get a fully maximized window | 20:12 |
| th0r | ere4si, yeah...from what I have found on the web that is the design...I was hoping someone knew a hex byte to insert somewhere to change that <smile> | 20:13 |
| cody-somerville | th0r, programs that support "full screen" will render over the panel | 20:16 |
| cody-somerville | th0r, furthermore, the source code is available so you could patch it :] | 20:16 |
| th0r | cody-somerville, possibly, but maximizing firefox or xchat won't | 20:16 |
| cody-somerville | For Firefox, hit F11 | 20:16 |
| th0r | cody-somerville, F11 is full screen...not maximize <smile> | 20:17 |
| cody-somerville | th0r, indeed | 20:17 |
| th0r | cody-somerville, just my opinion, but unless I specifically mark something to remain on top I would expect all software to conform to the same rules | 20:18 |
| th0r | cody-somerville, when I maximize xchat it covers gkrellm...and anything else on the desktop, except the xfce panel | 20:18 |
| cody-somerville | th0r, I'm pretty sure it is intentional. | 20:19 |
| th0r | cody-somerville, I am sure it is. Was jus thoping to find a hack | 20:19 |
| cody-somerville | th0r, If you're comfortable enough, you could probably recompile it patched to do just that | 20:19 |
| th0r | cody-somerville, that is an option...but not high on my list. Was hoping to find a quick fix | 20:20 |
| cody-somerville | th0r, apt-get source xfce4-panel will quickly get you the source | 20:21 |
| cody-somerville | th0r, it'll probably just involve commenting out a line somewhere or two | 20:21 |
| ere4si | thor: from this site - http://www.techsupportforum.com/alternative-computing/linux-support/118643-xfce-panel.html - xfce4.2 used to have a checkbox for "staying on top" | 20:22 |
| th0r | ere4si, 'used to' is the operative phrase there | 20:22 |
| th0r | ere4si, don't know what insanity compelled them to remove it <smile> | 20:23 |
| cody-somerville | th0r, I can ask for you. | 20:23 |
| th0r | cody-somerville, no....don't want to raise any hackles | 20:23 |
| cody-somerville | ;] | 20:23 |
| kilonux | sorry, real noob here, I just installed xubuntu desktop and logged in , things were OK but: don't know what happened, I am now back in Gnome and don't know how to login to xfce again | 20:53 |
| kilonux | I can disconnect from this session, but all I know to do is to then write "startx" and that brings me into gnome | 20:54 |
| piju | kilonux, change ur session on gdm | 20:57 |
| kilonux | piju: that gives me a black screen, and I don't know what else to do with it than startx | 21:01 |
| piju | kilonux, try "gdm" | 21:02 |
| kilonux | ok | 21:02 |

| cody-somerville | xTheSaintx, This one seems to have some useful info: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=126321 | 22:39 |
| cody-somerville | It suggests upgrading to the newer version of Skype (which is unsupported but will probably fix your problem) | 22:39 |

| nameusername | I'm wondering about installing linux for a senior | 22:50 |
| nameusername | who has little experience with computers | 22:50 |
| xTheSaintx | cody, how do i install the files/ | 22:50 |
| rand0m | for some reason, my keyboard is all weird. When i try to use an apostrophe or quotation mark, i have to hold shift and push the ¨ button like 3 times to get one.. if i dont.. it just shows up as like an accented letter like (á) <-- that´s just pressed ' once then a | 22:51 |
| rand0m | anyone know how to get it back to normal | 22:51 |
| cody-somerville | Ok | 22:55 |
| cody-somerville | xTheSaintx, double click on the deb file | 22:55 |
| xTheSaintx | yeh | 22:55 |
| xTheSaintx | it opens as a file | 22:55 |
| xTheSaintx | well | 22:55 |
| xTheSaintx | File manager | 22:55 |
| xTheSaintx | and its got control.tar.gz | 22:55 |
| xTheSaintx | data.tar.gz | 22:55 |
| xTheSaintx | debian-binary | 22:56 |
| cody-somerville | xTheSaintx, Weird. Force it to open with gdebi | 22:56 |
| cody-somerville | xTheSaintx, and please file a bug | 22:56 |
| cody-somerville | rand0m, you can try reconfiguring X: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:56 |
| cody-somerville | nameusername, Ubuntu would probably be a better choice for individuals new to Linux. | 22:57 |
| xTheSaintx | cody is there any other way in getting webcam | 22:57 |
| cody-somerville | xTheSaintx, Probably not. That forum post seemed to indicate it was a bug in that version. | 22:58 |
| xTheSaintx | no, but any other programs | 22:58 |
| xTheSaintx | for webcam | 22:59 |
| cody-somerville | xTheSaintx, oh, sure. | 22:59 |
| cody-somerville | xTheSaintx, aMSN | 22:59 |
| xTheSaintx | is there like sudo apt-get aMSN? | 22:59 |
| cody-somerville | Click Applications > Setting > Add/Remove | 23:00 |
| cody-somerville | Click "all software" from the dropdown | 23:00 |
| cody-somerville | and then type in: amsn | 23:00 |
| cody-somerville | Check off the box next to it and click install | 23:00 |
| RandyboY | Whats the difference between Hardy and Gutsy? | 23:04 |
| nameusername | cody-somerville: I'm thinking about xubuntu because it's a win 98 computer, and ram might be an issue. Also, do you know anything about driver compatability for sony cameras? | 23:06 |
| cody-somerville | RandyboY, Thats a tough question to answer in a few words. | 23:07 |
| cody-somerville | nameusername, Okay. As for Sony Camera, most cameras just work out of the box as mass storage devices. | 23:08 |
| RandyboY | cody-somerville, ok... I wasnt asking for specifics, but just to understand why gutsy isnt hardy and vice versa | 23:08 |
| cody-somerville | RandyboY, Hardy is a newer version of Xubuntu | 23:09 |
| nameusername | any recommendation for a pretty picture manager such as picasa is for windows | 23:09 |
| cody-somerville | nameusername, well... picasa runs on Linux :) | 23:09 |
| nameusername | well there we go... | 23:09 |
| RandyboY | cody-somerville, uh, huh? Xubuntu? | 23:09 |
