| nikkolai | there is a nvidia-glx-new-envy, but not sure if is the same | 00:07 |
| TheSheep | nikkolai: looks like there are also nvidia-glx-177 and such | 00:08 |
| TheSheep | and nvidia-glx installs them all | 00:08 |
| TheSheep | maybe they don't conflict anymore? | 00:08 |
| nikkolai | no idea :D.. will read a bit about thhat packages... thnx | 00:09 |

| maalsa | Hey xubuntu fans, anybody recommend a good distro with Xfce aside from Xubuntu? | 08:56 |
| TheSheep | maalsa: for what? | 08:58 |
| maalsa | for... use? | 08:59 |
| viabobed | I am no pro.... but if I'm not mistaken you could download the other distros and just d/l the XFCE | 08:59 |
| viabobed | That's how I got it | 08:59 |
| TheSheep | maalsa: what kind of use, different distros are good for different things | 09:00 |
| maalsa | TheSheep: I suppose just, "average" use. I've recently been on the hunt for a good distro to switch to. I've tried Xubuntu (like it) and Mandriva (also like it) and I'm just wondering what else is out there | 09:03 |
| viabobed | TheSheep: You probably know more about this than me | 09:03 |
| TheSheep | maalsa: everybody thinks that what they do is "average" | 09:07 |
| maalsa | TheSheep: Nevermind.. | 09:08 |
| viabobed | I've been messing around with XFCE a bit and I have run into two issues.... I came from Kubuntu8.04 KDE4.01 to Kubuntu8.04 XFCE on a older PC | 09:12 |
| viabobed | Is tat Kubuntu original install bogging down the system? | 09:12 |
| viabobed | that* | 09:12 |
| viabobed | The other is the networking to a windows PC | 09:12 |
| maalsa | viabobed: You've gotten farther than me, can't help you out. I'll be getting dirty within the next few weeks though as I attempt to set up a small thin client network (eep) | 09:13 |
| TheSheep | viabobed: details? | 09:13 |
| viabobed | maalsa: Thanks... TheSheep: PCSpecs; Amd Athalon 1400+, 256MB RAM, Generic Laptop Video Card | 09:15 |
| maalsa | viabobed: did you uninstall KDE? | 09:16 |
| TheSheep | viabobed: how much ram does it use without any app running? | 09:17 |
| viabobed | I downloaded the "remix version of kubuntu online and found it to heavy for this system | 09:20 |
| viabobed | before I went to the XFCE system... I got KDE4.01 which improved plenty of issues | 09:20 |
| viabobed | No I have not uninstalled KDE... I found the command to do that using apt-get protocal | 09:20 |
| viabobed | but, I am afraid its going to be unstable | 09:20 |
| viabobed | since thats my original install | 09:20 |
| viabobed | 160-180MB was the number I have been seen lately | 09:21 |
| maalsa | maybe a lighter distro period will help speed things up | 09:21 |
| maalsa | if you like the ubuntu base, there's always fluxbuntu (but you have to be a fan of fluxbox) | 09:22 |
| TheSheep | viabobed: can you open the system monitor, enable the 'writable memory' tab and see what's taling the most of it? | 09:28 |
| viabobed | Right now I cant check to compare.. I have ffox, pidgeon, and adept running an update | 09:33 |
| viabobed | But ill tell you how its running with these apps... | 09:33 |
| viabobed | Ok update finished... 54% CPU usage, 91MB usage memory and swap, 157MB | 09:33 |
| viabobed | Not bad after closing ffox and update | 09:33 |
| viabobed | but still reasonably slow | 09:33 |
| viabobed | Uninstall KDE? | 09:34 |
| viabobed | .user | 09:34 |
| viabobed | :( wifi disconnect | 09:34 |
| viabobed | 54% CPU usage, 91MB usage memory and swap, 157MB | 09:34 |
| viabobed | (04:25:59 AM) viabobed: Not bad after closing ffox and update | 09:34 |
| viabobed | (04:26:07 AM) viabobed: but still reasonably slow | 09:34 |
| viabobed | Sure | 09:34 |
| viabobed | Ok opened System Monitor.. I have ffox on top with 24MB, GNome System Monitor and Pidgeon on top or writable memory | 09:37 |
| viabobed | After that nm-aplet | 09:37 |
| TheSheep | what's next? | 09:38 |
| TheSheep | and maybe something is using cpu constantly? | 09:39 |
| viabobed | xcfe4panel, xcfemenu, keded4... but by the time you get to keded4 the writable memory usage is 1.5MB | 09:40 |
| viabobed | let me check what is using CPU | 09:40 |
| viabobed | I am looking at everything and... I guess this CPU might be to weak for the OS | 09:46 |
| viabobed | Because system monitor is on top of cpu usage at the moment | 09:46 |
| viabobed | then pidgeon, and kded4 jumps the most | 09:46 |
| viabobed | So.. i guess its pretty normal | 09:46 |
| viabobed | I just am not used 54% of cpu on minimal aps | 09:46 |
| viabobed | and playing chess vs cpu puts the cpu to 100% | 09:46 |
| TheSheep | what's kded4? | 09:47 |
| TheSheep | :/ | 09:47 |
| viabobed | I have no idea | 09:47 |
| TheSheep | try killing it :) | 09:47 |
| viabobed | Might be one of the KDE files | 09:47 |
| viabobed | Killed it | 09:48 |
| viabobed | 40-45% Cpu | 09:48 |
| viabobed | Helped a bit | 09:48 |
| viabobed | Believe me if I new all of the critical processes to the system I would have killed everything but that | 09:49 |
| viabobed | On Xp i try to keep my list less than 29 processes | 09:50 |
| viabobed | I have 6 things autostarting including one I added for the "attempt" to setup the home network | 09:50 |
| viabobed | I guess.. If anything I'll research the system files later | 09:51 |
| viabobed | Last question was, do you have any links/bookmarks on the networking of Kubuntu 8.04 with XFCE with Windows NT based pcs? | 09:52 |
| viabobed | I appreciate all of your time TheSheep | 09:52 |
| TheSheep | viabobed: go to settings maanger, sessions and startup and untick the 'start kde services at startup' | 09:52 |
| TheSheep | viabobed: might help | 09:52 |
| viabobed | Ok | 09:52 |
| TheSheep | that will slow down startup of kde apps a little, but relieve system resources when not using kde apps | 09:53 |
| viabobed | Great | 09:53 |
| viabobed | While I was at it I removed the update managers and the printer spooler | 09:54 |
| viabobed | Since i don't need those for a while | 09:54 |
| viabobed | I only left networking and power management since im on a laptop | 09:54 |
| viabobed | :) | 09:54 |
| viabobed | TheSheep thanks for all of the help | 09:57 |
| viabobed | I think I am going to run a bit leaner now | 09:58 |
| viabobed | I gotta head out | 09:58 |
| Woo | Why won't my process just die when I kill it? | 10:02 |
| TheSheep | Woo: it it a zombie? | 10:11 |
| Woo | Yes. | 10:11 |
| TheSheep | zombies are dead already, can't kill them | 10:12 |
| TheSheep | Woo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process | 10:12 |
| Woo | Shit... I'll have to break the emergency glass then. | 10:12 |
| TheSheep | Woo: they are harmless | 10:12 |
| Woo | It's not that. The process was a daemon for a program I was running, and I can't restart because it won't rot. | 10:13 |
| TheSheep | Woo: how did you start that daemon? | 10:14 |
| Woo | I think I just said deluge in the terminal. | 10:15 |
| TheSheep | and that terminal is still running? | 10:16 |
| Woo | No, I rebooted the machie. | 10:16 |
| TheSheep | and that still didn't get rid of the process? %) | 10:17 |
| Woo | Things are working now. | 10:17 |
| TheSheep | \o/ | 10:17 |
| Woo | But it was annoying having to restart since it would not dissappear so I could restart the application. | 10:25 |
| fragpad | hi | 10:39 |
| knome | hello | 10:41 |
| cephi | anybody have an idea how i can figure out why evince always runs at startup for me? very annoying | 16:09 |
| knome | cephi, you possibly have saved it at session | 16:10 |
| cephi | hmmm | 16:10 |
| knome | cephi, turn off all the progs, then on the log out screen select "save session..." | 16:10 |
| knome | then log in again, evince shouldn't start | 16:10 |
| cephi | ok, will try, thx | 16:10 |
| knome | but on the next logout, remember to check out | 16:11 |
| knome | (the "save...") | 16:11 |
| cephi | right | 16:11 |
| cephi | brb logout | 16:11 |
| cephi | hey it worked thanks | 16:13 |
| knome | np | 16:13 |
| cephi | Now for the other really annoying part of my startup: can anyone tell me how to get xubuntu to remember my WPA password? Currently, I have to enter it every time | 16:14 |
| knome | cephi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157808 | 16:23 |
| knome | cephi, basically, if you set the password to <none>, it will not ask for it, because it's empty | 16:23 |
| cephi | hm, but it doesn't want a password for the gnome keyring from me; it wants the WPA passwords itself | 16:28 |
| knome | ah, sorry for misreading | 16:28 |
| knome | removing/backuping the keyring file might still be a good idea, though | 16:29 |
| cephi | i'll have a go at it | 16:31 |

| mini-man | where is the firefox32 icon at? I thought it was /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox32-3.png... which I replaced...but the default firefox icon is still showing up when I restart firefox32 | 21:37 |
| DCPom | you can probably download it from google, | 21:41 |
| DCPom | or do a find/locate command | 21:41 |
| DCPom | 21:55 | |
| ubottu | pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 21:55 |
| mini-man | bah. why have all my icons suddenly disappeared in all firefoxes? I have 3 versions of 3.x (vanilla used by ubufox, another used by swiftfox, and yet another used by firefox32 apparently?) and all show x's for icons in the toolbar | 22:26 |
| mini-man | googled it and tried removing the 'linux32' before the firefox32 shell script... that didn't help | 22:26 |
| mauilion | Hi I am trying to figure out how to keep the panel from grouping windows of the same type. | 22:39 |
| mauilion | hopefully for just terminal | 22:39 |
| mauilion | any ideas? | 22:39 |
| mini-man | right-click on the very first few pixels of the task list | 22:41 |
| mini-man | properties | 22:41 |
| mini-man | in the dropbox select never group tasks | 22:41 |

| Odd-rationale | mini-man: tried changing your icon theme? | 22:44 |
| mini-man | Odd-rationale, yes, several times | 22:44 |
| mini-man | even reinstalled each and every one of the versions i have installed, one by one | 22:45 |
| Odd-rationale | mini-man: hmm.. idk, maby backup your bookmarks and remove ~/.mozilla | 22:45 |
| freeman192038 | hi, someone know where i can find mod_slotlimit package? it's a project that i've found on sourceforge | 22:47 |
| zoredache | I doubt there is a package. It appears to have been released just 5 weeks ago | 22:50 |
| zoredache | if you install the -dev package that matches your running version of apache you probably should be able to compile it though | 22:50 |
| freeman192038 | thanks zoredache, nobody had never asìnwer ;) | 22:51 |
| mini-man | Odd-rationale, ok, completely *removed* firefox and all traces of it, and installed and the icons are back... BUT it's not saving my bookmarks at all | 22:51 |
| mini-man | I googled it, and did the tweak in about:config, restarted, added bookmark, restarted, and bookmark disappears | 22:52 |
| mini-man | no idea why | 22:52 |
| zoredache | check the permissions on your firefox profile directory. Perhaps you managed to open your firefox profile as root and you can no longer write to it? | 22:55 |
| zoredache | ls -alR ~/.mozilla/firefox/ | 22:56 |
| mini-man | zoredache, you're right :) | 22:56 |
| mini-man | zoredache, thanks | 22:56 |
| The-Kernel | So, my system hangs when booting up | 23:49 |
| The-Kernel | its when it loads hal | 23:49 |
| The-Kernel | is there a way to look at why? | 23:49 |
| mini-man | is there a way to reduce the size of the tray icons in xfce? | 23:57 |
| zoredache | don't they just try to resize them selves to fit the size of the panel? Try changing the panel height | 23:59 |
