[10:20] <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?
[10:24] <ablomen> akatsuki, yeah xubuntu is mostly just normal ubuntu with xubuntu-desktop installed in the place of ubuntu-dekstop
[10:25] <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
[10:26] <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
[10:27] <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
[10:28] <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
[10:29] <akatsuki> does fluxbux ist more lighweight han gnome?
[10:29] <akatsuki> then
[10:29] <akatsuki> than*
[10:29] <ablomen> yeah used flux/open/blackbox
[10:30] <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
[10:31] <ablomen> but yeah if you say use openbox+thunar+midori its a lot lighter then gnome+nautilus+firefox
[13:53] <krox> hi all
[15:34] <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..."
[15:36] <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
[15:37] <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...
[15:38] <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
[15:40] <Yawg> here is the more specific error:
[15:40] <Yawg> err, the line it failed on
[15:41] <Yawg> dpkg --force-depends --install var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-10ubuntu3_i386.deb
[15:45] <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
[15:47] <jdawiz> i had searched in forums but didn't find anything that helped me
[15:49] <TheSheep> jdawiz: I don't why it's so, but I know how to fix it
[15:50] <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
[15:51] <jdawiz> wow.. you the man
[15:51] <jdawiz> thanks a lot
[15:51] <jdawiz> or woman
[15:51] <jdawiz> sorry
[15:57] <TheSheep> there is no gender on irc :)
[16:00] <jdawiz> exactly .. so i am not sure what the pc statement is for you the man ... ... lol
[16:07] <Yawg> man means human unless it obviously means male
[16:24] <jdawiz> ty
[16:32] <th0r> How do you make the xfce panel assume 'normal' status...that is, not always on top of other windows
[16:36] <mortal1> it doesn't seem like xubuntu's memory foot print is that much lower than ubuntu's is it?
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <mortal1> even the old ones
[16:38] <th0r> mortal1, I stick with xfce not because of memory issues, but overall performance.
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <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
[16:41] <mortal1> th0r, do you use the latest version of vuze?
[16:53] <th0r> vuze?
[16:54] <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
[19:13] <T045T> hi
[19:15] <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}"
[19:16] <T045T> any ideas?
[19:43] <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?
[19:49] <ere4si> I get a similar message when I use   gksu thunar /  - how do we sort it out?
[19:53] <palace_music> I just found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=260f4b5055f5e478d482c6f7794e1212&t=465473&page=1
[20:07] <th0r> does anyone know of a way to make the xfce panel NOT 'stay on top'
[20:09] <ere4si> thor:you can select autohide in its' configuration
[20:10] <th0r> ere4si, yeah, but I ddidn't want to hide it per se, just make it act like a normal window
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <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>
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <th0r> cody-somerville, F11 is full screen...not maximize <smile>
[20:17] <cody-somerville> th0r, indeed
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <th0r> cody-somerville, that is an option...but not high on my list. Was hoping to find a quick fix
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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> ;]
[20:53] <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
[20:54] <kilonux> I can disconnect from this session, but all I know to do is to then write "startx" and that brings me into gnome
[20:57] <piju> kilonux, change ur session on gdm
[21:01] <kilonux> piju:  that gives me a black screen, and I don't know what else to do with it than startx
[21:02] <piju> kilonux, try "gdm"
[21:02] <kilonux> ok
[22:20] <cody-somerville> If any folks are interested, we're testing the candidate ISOs for Intrepid Alpha 2. You can help test by visiting http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/xubuntu/all :)

[22:29] <xTheSaintx> wat model of what?
[22:29] <xTheSaintx> Do i need to install anything to get the video fixed?

[22:34] <cody-somerville> xTheSaintx, http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showforum=194
[22:37] <xTheSaintx> what post will it help me?
[22:39] <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)
[22:40] <xTheSaintx> http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/linux/choose/
[22:40] <xTheSaintx> What one is for xubuntu
[22:41] <cody-somerville> http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu
[22:44] <xTheSaintx> kk i downloaded
[22:44] <xTheSaintx> how do i install?
[22:44] <xTheSaintx> its all folders/files no .exes or what ever
[22:50] <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/
[22:51] <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
[22:55] <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
[22:56] <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
[22:57] <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
[22:58] <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
[22:59] <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?
[23:00] <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
[23:04] <RandyboY> Whats the difference between Hardy and Gutsy?
[23:06] <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?
[23:07] <cody-somerville> RandyboY, Thats a tough question to answer in a few words.
[23:08] <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
[23:09] <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?
[23:10] <cody-somerville> RandyboY, Hardy and Gutsy are just code names for releases
[23:10] <nameusername> ah, its a labs project
[23:45] <xTheSaintx> when i start up my PC i get this eror about xubuntu
[23:45] <xTheSaintx> so on startup i have to press ESC and then select one
[23:45] <xTheSaintx> But i tried to install Win XP and it dosent work
