| phayz | has anyone tried the ubuntu "dust" gtk theme under xfce4? i did and found that only part of the theme seemed to apply - e.g. scrollbars look different but dialog boxes, buttons etc look like the gtk default!? | 01:58 |
| phayz | i have installed the murrine gtk engine, but perhaps not the right version? | 01:59 |
| nikolam | how do you install and apply theme anyway? I get used to default. I used to be testing user interface and window manager settings from settings manager. Is that`s it? | 02:12 |
| nikolam | phayz | 02:12 |
| favro | you unpack a theme in .themes in your home dir and it shows up in settings manager - user interface | 02:15 |
| rerobins | so do I ask questions about intrepid here or in the devel channel? | 02:16 |
| Odd-rationale | #ubuntu+1 | 02:17 |
| rerobins | well | 02:17 |
| rerobins | the xubuntu intrepid? | 02:17 |
| Odd-rationale | i believe so... | 02:17 |
| Odd-rationale | !intrepid | 02:17 |
| ubottu | Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - WARNING: lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, NOT #ubuntu | 02:17 |
| nikolam | on #ubuntu+1 | 02:17 |
| rerobins | thanks | 02:17 |
| nikolam | until final.. anyway :) | 02:18 |
| rerobins | oh | 02:18 |
| rerobins | so if i wait till thursday i can come back? | 02:18 |
| nikolam | yup :))) | 02:18 |
| phayz | nikolam - sorry, i was away for a while (obviously) | 02:19 |
| nikolam | phayz, never mind, favro explained it :) | 02:20 |
| rerobins | so the bottom couple of rows on my desktop are shifted to the left about 50 pixels, what would the search term for that be in launchpad? | 02:21 |
| nikolam | try to post a bug under ubuntu and then search for a graphics driver you use | 02:23 |
| rerobins | any of you guys use the minimized application setting for xfdesktop? | 02:24 |
| phayz | rerobins: sorry, i don't quite understand your question | 02:30 |
| rerobins | under the desktop icons setting in Desktop Preferences you can select minimized applications | 02:31 |
| rerobins | was wondering if people used that | 02:31 |
| phayz | rerobins: ok, now i understand. i actually set this option to "nothing/none" (sorry, i can't remember exactly what it's named). i don't see the point of desktop icons because you have to get all the windows out of the way to see them | 02:33 |
| rerobins | fair enough | 02:33 |
| rerobins | do you use a task bar then? | 02:34 |
| phayz | rerobins: if you had a wide screen monitor, perhaps you could have xfce4 keep part of the desktop clear of windows. then you could have desktop icons in that section. | 02:35 |
| kthakore | <kthakore> hi there I was usermodding my self to www-data group with usermod -G www-data $USER and I forgot the -a so now I am not in the admin group and I cannot sudo and the root account is disabled what can I do? | 02:36 |
| nikolam | rerobins, I just dicovered that that option for desktop is existing. Interesting ;) Never used it.. reminds me on Windows 3.1 :) | 02:37 |
| nikolam | rerobins, i use Task list in panel :) | 02:37 |
| rerobins | ahh ok | 02:37 |
| nikolam | kthakore, just boot and select p at grub screen. you will get root command line and then you can make new user or assign any privileges you want to yourself. | 02:39 |
| nikolam | ubuntu is a workstation and as it is is much unsecure in that way by default install. | 02:40 |
| nikolam | kthakore, it always help to make alternative account for yourself after install , with administrative privileges | 02:42 |
| nikolam | kthakore2, also, root password could be set.. :) | 02:42 |
| favro | * kthakore has quit ("Sanitarium Radio - \o/") | 02:42 |
| nikolam | .. and grub secured so that noone can edit it on boot time.. etc.. | 02:42 |
| nikolam | ah hh 10x favro | 02:43 |
| favro | :) | 02:43 |
| nikolam | favro, do you knew all those default security holes in default x/ubuntu install? | 02:44 |
| favro | yep - I always give root a password | 02:44 |
| nikolam | and securing grub? | 02:45 |
| phayz | favourite gtk theme? | 02:46 |
| nikolam | with passwor for recovery mode, and changing boot options? | 02:46 |
| nikolam | phayz, .. default.. i am lazy :) | 02:46 |
| favro | nikolam: with a root password set I feel any attempts to do anything with grub would be limited | 02:46 |
| phayz | nikolam: that's cool. i'm yet to find my perfect gtk theme. | 02:47 |
| nikolam | I use user interface > MurrinaStormCloud and Window Manager > Waza | 02:47 |
| favro | recovery uses root access - that's why I set a password | 02:47 |
| nikolam | favro, do you set your Bios NOT to boot from CD/USB? :) and password on bios? | 02:48 |
| favro | nope | 02:48 |
| nikolam | thats it. i come to you fith an usb and do all i want :) | 02:49 |
| favro | bios settings are easy enough to change - just remove the battery | 02:49 |
| nikolam | or cd :) | 02:49 |
| rerobins | so compiz and xfce, a fun experiment or a waste of time? | 02:49 |
| nikolam | yes but if coputer case is locked? :) | 02:49 |
| nikolam | rerobins, .. it works :) | 02:50 |
| favro | plenty on utube about xfce and compiz | 02:50 |
| nikolam | .. i don`t know what`s the use but to impress yourself and someone else and have some fun.. but it works :) | 02:50 |
| rerobins | but, it replaces the xf window manager right? | 02:51 |
| nikolam | rerobins, yes, you got to start (alt+f2) metacity --replace i think.. | 02:52 |
| rerobins | hmm | 02:52 |
| nikolam | look at some tutorial about compiz first | 02:52 |
| favro | no - compiz is a desktop environment - xfwm is a window manager - you can use xfwm with compiz but most use emerald | 02:52 |
| nikolam | if you want to come back later to xfwm, you got to kill metacity first and then start xfwm4 | 02:53 |
| rerobins | so when i ran compiz, and it replaced my decorations, it's really running emerald? | 02:53 |
| phayz | nikolam: where would i see "waza" on the 'net? | 02:53 |
| nikolam | favro, Didn`t know that.. | 02:53 |
| favro | if you installed emerald yep | 02:53 |
| nikolam | waza is installed as default | 02:53 |
| favro | metacity is gnomes' window manager | 02:54 |
| nikolam | under window manager settings | 02:54 |
| rerobins | i don't have either installed | 02:54 |
| favro | did you have window titlebars in compiz? | 02:54 |
| nikolam | so, favro emerald is thing for use with compiz.. but if I stay with xfwm4, how do i start compiz with it? | 02:55 |
| rerobins | yea | 02:55 |
| rerobins | that's what i want to know | 02:55 |
| rerobins | cause right now i'm running a compiz-manager thing | 02:55 |
| rerobins | err compiz-decorator | 02:55 |
| nikolam | favro suggests emerald | 02:56 |
| favro | I've never tried in xfce4 - there's sure to be a tute on the net | 02:56 |
| rerobins | a tute? | 02:56 |
| nikolam | tutorial | 02:56 |
| favro | howto - tutorial | 02:56 |
| rerobins | k | 02:57 |
| nikolam | I was wondering.. is there anyone else but canonical that sells ubuntu support. But lower priced and so.. | 02:58 |
| favro | !support | 02:58 |
| ubottu | For alternative Xubuntu support options, please see http://xubuntu.org/help | 02:58 |
| favro | dunno what's there | 02:58 |
| nikolam | community :) | 02:59 |
| nikolam | we :) | 03:00 |
| favro | hehe | 03:00 |
| rerobins | that website says to come here | 03:01 |
| nikolam | lol | 03:02 |
| nikolam | we should be payed.. web site is saying that! lol :) | 03:03 |
| favro | there are bounties on the xubuntu website if you want to earn cash | 03:05 |
| rerobins | i must have missed the link with $'s on it | 03:06 |
| favro | you have to hunt | 03:06 |
| nikolam | bounties :) | 03:06 |
| rerobins | clever | 03:07 |
| favro | that's what the site calls 'em :) | 03:07 |
| nikolam | Ohh, the mighty , powerfull siite :) | 03:08 |
| rerobins | yes, we should all worship it, and it's ability to link to other sites | 03:08 |
| nikolam | :)) | 03:10 |
| rerobins | so do any of you work on xubuntu, or are you all users? | 03:13 |
| nikolam | i am an user | 03:16 |
| nikolam | favro, please pay attention to worship yourself as an user ;) | 03:16 |
| nikolam | there is also channel #xubuntu-offtopic | 03:17 |
| rerobins | is that were I should be? | 03:18 |
| favro | I don't think there's anyone around to complain | 03:18 |
| nikolam | mmm .. not :) maybe.. yes... mm no :) | 03:18 |
| rerobins | so, i'm trying to change my manager theme and i know I'm using gtk-window-decorator | 03:20 |
| rerobins | how do i change it's settings | 03:20 |
| rerobins | i'm sure i'm missing a program | 03:21 |
| favro | why not use user interface in the settings manager? | 03:24 |
| rerobins | only changes the colors | 03:24 |
| rerobins | doesn't change the graphics | 03:25 |
| favro | it is the theme you choose that does that afaik | 03:25 |
| rerobins | so yes, i select redmond, and the borders turn blue | 03:26 |
| rerobins | then i hit Crux | 03:26 |
| rerobins | and they turn purple | 03:26 |
| rerobins | but nothing else changes | 03:26 |
| favro | what do you think should change? | 03:27 |
| rerobins | well | 03:27 |
| rerobins | if it's like gnome | 03:27 |
| rerobins | don't they actually change styles and such? | 03:27 |
| rerobins | like the Beos one makes it yellow and really short title bar | 03:27 |
| nikolam | it changes here | 03:27 |
| rerobins | ahh | 03:28 |
| rerobins | the famous, works in my area line | 03:28 |
| favro | you might not have a theme that changes much | 03:29 |
| rerobins | well, it used to do it when I was using the xfwm4 thing, | 03:29 |
| favro | ahh you're in compiz - k - you might need to ask in #compiz about that | 03:30 |
| rerobins | ok | 03:30 |
| nikolam | ok, boys | 03:32 |
| nikolam | cul8r :) | 03:32 |
| _kinch | I've installed compiz on xubuntu 8.04 | 03:38 |
| _kinch | how can i make compiz auto start on login? | 03:38 |
| rerobins | how is xfce starting up compiz everytime i reboot? | 03:47 |
| rerobins | it's not in the autostart apps list | 03:47 |
| jeezyme | hi guys, will xub run fine in a pentium3 pc with 128mb ram? | 06:24 |
| favro | be little slow but'll run - you'll need the alternate installer with so little ram | 06:54 |
| favro | !alternate | 06:54 |

| TheSheep | batcoder-7: many ways, you can download the source and compile it, you can look for a deb, you can install it from Intrepid's repos... | 11:06 |
| batcoder-7 | i prefer to not compile it myself | 11:07 |
| === Rika is now known as Tokorona | ||
| batcoder-7 | hmmm | 11:09 |
| TheSheep | batcoder-7: getdeb.net | 11:09 |
| batcoder-7 | i mean i want to be able ot update my system etc | 11:09 |
| batcoder-7 | will doing this cause any conflicts ? | 11:10 |
| TheSheep | yu can compile it and install in your home directory, and then delete when you update to intrepid | 11:10 |
| batcoder-7 | just curious when is that going to be released ? | 11:10 |
| TheSheep | 30th | 11:10 |
| TheSheep | this month | 11:10 |
| batcoder-7 | so in 1 day ? | 11:10 |
| TheSheep | depends on timezone :) | 11:10 |

| batcoder-7 | i had the same error | 11:17 |
| TheSheep | pedrito: no idea what sr0 is | 11:17 |
| batcoder-7 | i used a different cd drive and it worked | 11:17 |
| batcoder-7 | prolly a messed up cd and the other one read it better | 11:17 |
| pedrito | I will try a new CD. | 11:17 |
| batcoder-7 | TheSheep: Installed: 2.4.5-1ubuntu2 | 11:18 |
| batcoder-7 | Candidate: 2.4.5-1ubuntu2 | 11:18 |
| TheSheep | burn it with the slowest speed possible | 11:18 |
| batcoder-7 | i used 16x | 11:18 |
| TheSheep | batcoder-7: then it's not 8.10, probably 8.04 | 11:18 |
| pedrito | I will try that solution... I have burn it at 8x... probably too fast for the CD-RW I am using currently | 11:18 |
| perforate | there is probably a simple fix to this | 11:20 |
| batcoder-7 | TheSheep: so in a day or so i can upgrade to 8.10 and yea it will have it ? | 11:20 |
| perforate | but I can't find it | 11:20 |

| TheSheep | lynx | 12:36 |
| MrNaz | notgood depends how light you need.... epiphany is good | 12:36 |
| notgood | rofl TheSheep , ok not so.. | 12:37 |
| MrNaz | if you need lighter, then fluxbuntu might be the os for you... it comes with super lightweight apps | 12:37 |
| notgood | MrNaz, actually I have to experience on epiphany nor skipstone. ( something between these two?) | 12:37 |
| TheSheep | epiphany with webkit might be good too | 12:38 |
| notgood | ok people thanks a lot. | 12:38 |

| masque7 | heh | 14:57 |
| dissociative | does xubuntu comes with software for using video capture devices? | 15:04 |
| TheSheep | no | 15:05 |
| vinnl | Not by default I believe | 15:05 |
| TheSheep | you need to install it yourself | 15:05 |
| TheSheep | form the repositories | 15:05 |
| dissociative | I need to test an analog pci capture card because it makes the kernel to crash with a another distro | 15:05 |
| dissociative | that is already installed in the hdd | 15:06 |
| dissociative | I'm now in livecd mode with xubuntu | 15:06 |
| vinnl | You can install stuff while in LiveCD mode | 15:06 |
| vinnl | It just won't be preserved | 15:06 |
| vinnl | (After shutdown) | 15:06 |
| iMax | hmm, where can I enable the restricted drivers? | 15:17 |
| iMax | I had an icon before the last update, but after the reboot not anymore | 15:17 |
| vinnl | iMax, applications->system->hardware drivers | 15:18 |
| TheSheep | iMax: system->hardware drivers | 15:18 |
| vinnl | Or Restricted Drivers manager, depending on your Xubuntu version | 15:18 |
| iMax | the hardware drivers just tells me that there are no restricted drivers in use | 15:18 |
| iMax | and I do not seem to have a restricted drivers manager | 15:19 |
| vinnl | But if any are available you can enable them there | 15:19 |
| vinnl | Restricted Drivers Manager = Hardware Drivers | 15:19 |
| TheSheep | iMax: maybe they were inmplemented in the new kernel | 15:19 |
| vinnl | It was renamed | 15:19 |
| iMax | vinnl: no, but I think there should be, because I had that icon in the panel | 15:19 |
| iMax | TheSheep: but shouldn't I see them anywhere? | 15:20 |
| TheSheep | iMax: them? | 15:20 |
| iMax | or the driver, sorry :) | 15:20 |
| TheSheep | iMax: which driver? | 15:20 |
| iMax | nvidia, iirc ... just installed it on some older server I have here | 15:21 |
| iMax | I'll probably just use synaptic and see where I end up :) | 15:23 |
| dissociative | do I have to unmount manually paritions in xubuntu? If I try to unmount them from the partition manager they seem to be remounted instead | 15:27 |
| vinnl | dissociative, you can disable automounting | 15:27 |
| vinnl | ...using the "Removable Drives and Media" settings | 15:27 |
| [1]masque7 | uh my partitioner is stuck at 46% | 15:28 |
| === [1]masque7 is now known as masque7 | ||
| vinnl | For how long now/ | 15:28 |
| vinnl | *? | 15:29 |
| masque7 | 5+ mins | 15:29 |
| masque7 | might reboot and try again | 15:29 |
| vinnl | Oh, that should work out I guess | 15:29 |
| vinnl | Is your internet connection working? | 15:29 |
| bytor4232 | Well, I solved my avant window navigator problem in Xubuntu. Well,not really solved... | 15:30 |
| masque7 | vinnl, my internet connection? | 15:30 |
| bytor4232 | I'm using Cairo, however I had to download the one from the website, the one in the repos isn't built right. | 15:30 |
| vinnl | masque7, yeah, I believe some people had troubles when installing with a failing internet connection configured (troubles in the sense that it paused for a while at a certain percentage) | 15:31 |
| vinnl | That's all I know about it though | 15:31 |
| TheSheep | the installer is a bit opaque | 15:34 |
| masque7 | vinnl: bit of a stretch over to the router | 15:41 |
| masque7 | plus i don't have it in a case yet :P | 15:41 |
| vinnl | :P | 15:41 |
| vinnl | Is it still not continuing | 15:41 |
| vinnl | *? | 15:41 |
| masque7 | should be fine installing without an internet connection now | 15:41 |
| masque7 | eh i rebooted | 15:42 |
| vinnl | Ah :P | 15:42 |
| masque7 | if it gets stuck on 46% again i'll either use the alt.cd or hook it into the router haha | 15:42 |
| wormsxulla | hi. someone mentionned an alternative to network-manager the other day, something like "wsip" or something, but i can't find it in synaptic nor remember the correct name | 15:42 |

| wormsxulla | ah, that is it, thank you | 15:43 |

| dissociative | anyone knows how can I limit the display refresh rate for all video modes without having to restart the X server, because I use 60Hz and when I run a game in fullscreen under wine the refresh rate changes to 85Hz and it gives me a different display geometry | 16:10 |
| TheSheep | dissociative: xrand maybe... | 16:11 |

| nonie | hello guys | 16:35 |
| knome | how can i mount an iso, if while mounting i get an error of bad option, superblock, etc... | 16:45 |
| TheSheep | knome: then it's not an iso | 16:46 |
| knome | TheSheep, but it is. i've ripped it with brasero from a cd | 16:46 |
| TheSheep | knome: what command did you use exactly? | 16:47 |
| knome | TheSheep, mounting? mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mount/point | 16:47 |
| knome | TheSheep, this is an audio cd with some kind of copy protection. | 16:49 |
| knome | TheSheep, and a data track | 16:49 |
| knome | ehh.... | 16:51 |
| knome | this explains a lot | 16:51 |
| knome | the iso file is 0 bits | 16:51 |
| knome | wtf? | 16:51 |
| TheSheep | knome: audio cds don't have a filesystem on them | 16:55 |
| TheSheep | knome: you can't mount them | 16:55 |
| knome | a-ha... even if they had a data track? | 16:55 |
| TheSheep | no idea | 16:55 |

| aLeSD____ | hi all | 17:16 |
| aLeSD____ | I installed the 8.10 on an eeepc 701 | 17:17 |
| aLeSD____ | but ... there are windows that simply are larger than the screen | 17:17 |
| aLeSD____ | and I can't resize them smaller | 17:17 |
| aLeSD____ | is there a way to resize them ? | 17:18 |
| knome | aLeSD____, you can move them with alt+drag. you can also restrict the amount of underscores in your nick with /nick | 17:18 |
| aLeSD____ | lol | 17:19 |
| === aLeSD____ is now known as aLeSD_ | ||
| aLeSD_ | ok | 17:19 |
| aLeSD_ | well ... knome do u know if ubuntu (with gnome ) resizes them automatically ? | 17:20 |
| aLeSD_ | I'm scared ... for the performace ... | 17:20 |
| knome | i don't think it does. | 17:20 |
| aLeSD_ | ..mmm.. | 17:20 |
| aLeSD_ | ok ... just another question | 17:21 |
| aLeSD_ | I'd like xubuntu | 17:21 |
| aLeSD_ | but minimaler than it ... I mean no thunderbird, no abiword | 17:21 |
| aLeSD_ | is it possible ? | 17:21 |
| knome | aLeSD_, you can use the minimal cd. | 17:22 |
| aLeSD_ | knome: is there for the rc ? | 17:22 |
| knome | ? | 17:22 |
| knome | the 8.10 is released tomorrow. you can wait the new minimal. | 17:22 |

| ramses-sv | hey guys, Is there a planet for Xubuntu? something like ubuntuweblogs.org? | 17:33 |
| knome | ramses-sv, i don't think there is. | 17:39 |
| knome | ramses-sv, the xubuntu developers/committers don't write a lot of blogs currently/yet | 17:39 |
| ramses-sv | :D thanks knome | 17:41 |
| vinnl | knome, I'm subscribed to quite a few Xubuntu-related blogs :) | 17:44 |
| vinnl | Though most are not that active... | 17:44 |
| knome | vinnl, we might set up a list. | 17:44 |
| vinnl | knome, I've made a Yahoo! Pipe :)\ | 17:44 |
| knome | vinnl, i've also been thinking that i might set up my own, or write about xubuntu as part of my blog | 17:45 |
| vinnl | knome, what's your blog> | 17:45 |

| ILoveYouMan | hi guys | 17:49 |
| knome | hello. | 17:49 |
| vinnl | !hi | 17:49 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 17:49 |
| ILoveYouMan | :D | 17:49 |
| ILoveYouMan | umm, I have a question about xubuntu.... | 17:50 |
| vinnl | !ask | 17:50 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 17:50 |
| ILoveYouMan | now, i haven't actually installed it yet, but I am planning to this weekend | 17:50 |
| vinnl | :) | 17:50 |
| ILoveYouMan | so, I was reading about adding commands and stuff on bootup | 17:52 |
| ILoveYouMan | I was wondering how you get to access the screen that will allow you to do this on bootup? I can't see it mentioned anywhere on the help site...... | 17:52 |
| ILoveYouMan | perhaps i've missed something really obvious though... | 17:53 |
| vinnl | ILoveYouMan, what do you want to do that for? | 17:54 |
| vinnl | Are they the commands for the LiveCD or for an installed system? | 17:54 |
| ILoveYouMan | on the installed system | 17:54 |
| ILoveYouMan | for example.....it says that on some power pc's that you may need to add a boot argument to get the graphics to be displayed properly | 17:55 |
| vinnl | It depends on whether you have more OS's installed | 17:55 |
| yotux | how can I change the resolution of the login screen? | 17:57 |
| ILoveYouMan | i'm going to be installing on a G4 iBook, so would I be correct in saying that dapper drake is the latest version that supports iBooks? | 17:58 |
| vinnl | yotux, it should have the same resolution as when you are logged in? | 17:58 |
| vinnl | yotux, coincidentally, you don't happen to just see the top left-hand corner? | 17:58 |
| vinnl | ILoveYouMan, IIRC all do, but the latest unofficially | 17:58 |
| yotux | I have a buggy acer monitor native is 1440 x 900 the lcd is only taking 1280 x 800 | 17:58 |
| ILoveYouMan | oh | 17:58 |
| yotux | I set the desktop to 1280 x 800 no the login screen sit sits at what I assume 1440 x 900 | 17:59 |
| yotux | do I have to play with the xorg.conf file? | 18:00 |
| yotux | vinnl I don't see the buttons on the bottom of the screen | 18:00 |
| ILoveYouMan | vinn1 - I don't suppose that it would do any harm to see if I could get dapper drake up and running first then, if I wanted to, I could installed hardy heron after that? | 18:00 |
| vinnl | yotux, and only part of the login box? | 18:00 |
| vinnl | ILoveYouMan, sure, you can overwrite or upgrade immediately | 18:00 |
| yotux | no I see most of the login box | 18:01 |
| ILoveYouMan | cool | 18:01 |
| ILoveYouMan | I think that I'll do that then and see how I go | 18:01 |
| vinnl | yotux, I'm not sure, but you might be experiencing a bug I experienced before as well | 18:01 |
| cephi | does anyone know how i can get the taskbar to disappear completely when it autohides (rather than the default, where it still shows a millimeter or two)? | 18:01 |
| vinnl | ILoveYouMan, good luck :) | 18:01 |
| ILoveYouMan | sorry, one more thing - do you know if dapper drake will automatically detect all my hardware for me? | 18:01 |
| vinnl | ILoveYouMan, one can only hope, but you could see if the LiveCD runs well :) | 18:01 |
| yotux | vinnl - my acer AL1916W has allot of issues when search in google | 18:01 |
| vinnl | yotux, which version of Xubuntu are you using? | 18:01 |
| yotux | 8.10 | 18:02 |
| ILoveYouMan | i guess | 18:02 |
| ILoveYouMan | thanks | 18:02 |
| vinnl | np | 18:02 |
| vinnl | yotux, oh, then I thought it'd had to be solved | 18:02 |
| vinnl | yotux, unfortunately display is not my thing... | 18:03 |
| yotux | it ok thankz | 18:03 |
| vinnl | !resolution | yotux | 18:04 |

| ILoveYouMan | vinn1 - have you ever used fluxbuntu? | 18:05 |
| vinnl | ILoveYouMan, not really, I have installed fluxbox once but not used it extensively | 18:07 |
| bytor4232 | Well, I'm giving up on the dock. Cairo is nice and all, but now it isn't foccusing windows. Its switching, just not foccusing. | 18:07 |
| ILoveYouMan | ah right | 18:07 |
| ILoveYouMan | do you know of any other good distros of ubuntu that would work on my iBook G4 at all? | 18:08 |
| cephi | that millimeter of dirty grey at the bottom of my beautiful black screen, it's slowly killing me | 18:08 |
| ILoveYouMan | something that doesn't require lots of RAM | 18:08 |
| bytor4232 | ILoveYouMan, did you try Xubuntu? | 18:09 |
| ILoveYouMan | yeah, i was looking at that one too | 18:09 |
| vinnl | ILoveYouMan, if one does I suppose all Ubuntu derivatives do | 18:10 |
| ILoveYouMan | well, i haven't got round to installing it yet, bytor | 18:10 |
| vinnl | bytor4232, you don't want to try alternatives to Cairo? | 18:10 |
| cephi | i can't take it anymore i'm throwing this machine out the window | 18:10 |
| ILoveYouMan | but i am reading up on them at the moment | 18:10 |
| bytor4232 | I love xubuntu. I run it on everything from my 800 mhz media center pc, to my dual core 3.0ghz | 18:10 |
| vinnl | My PC juts got upgraded but I'm sticking with Xubuntu :) | 18:10 |
| ILoveYouMan | basically I'm looking for something easy to install and will allow me to get online with my iBook G4 | 18:11 |
| ILoveYouMan | do you think xubuntu is the best for that? | 18:11 |
| bytor4232 | vinnl, I like avant window navigator a lot, but it doesn't work right under xubuntu. It moves windows to the current desktop rather than switching to said desk. | 18:11 |
| bytor4232 | Cairo works pretty well, but its got way too many config options, and for some odd reason is switching desktops, but not foccusing windows. | 18:11 |
| bytor4232 | Avant works great under compiz, but I don wanna run compiz. | 18:12 |
| vinnl | bytor4232, well, there are more alternatives... | 18:12 |
| vinnl | bytor4232, and Xfce has its own compositor as well that can make AWN run :) | 18:12 |
| bytor4232 | yes, but awn doesn't work right under xfce 4.2 | 18:12 |
| vinnl | :( | 18:13 |
| bytor4232 | er | 18:14 |
| bytor4232 | xfce 4.4. Right. | 18:14 |

| Angel_Inside | hey! | 19:16 |
| Angel_Inside | I'm thinking of installing Xubuntu Hardy on a PIII 800Mhz 128Mb RAM | 19:17 |
| Angel_Inside | is it enough hard? | 19:17 |
| Angel_Inside | hardware* | 19:18 |
| bytor4232 | Angel_Inside, It is for xubuntu, but you may have to use the alternative installer. | 19:27 |
| bytor4232 | Angel_Inside, I would still surf around for some more ram. You could pick some up fairly cheap to get you to 512 | 19:30 |
| Angel_Inside | bytor4232: Yes, of course, I'm waiting for a 256Mb RAM I bought thruogh ebay | 19:33 |
| Angel_Inside | bytor4232: When it arrives, I'll test if the three slots of my mother are working and if yes I'll but another 526Mb module | 19:34 |
| bytor4232 | cool. | 19:34 |
| Angel_Inside | bytor4232: but now I have some spare time and I'd like to knowif it was possible | 19:34 |
| bytor4232 | you should be able to install xubuntu no problem, but like I said, you may have to use the alt installer. | 19:34 |
| Angel_Inside | bytor4232: and after that | 19:34 |
| Angel_Inside | will it run properly? | 19:34 |
| Angel_Inside | at least for a week or so | 19:35 |
| bytor4232 | sure | 19:35 |
| Angel_Inside | (I hope my new memory arrives earlier... | 19:35 |
| bytor4232 | it may be a little slow, but yea it will run properly. | 19:35 |
| Angel_Inside | good | 19:35 |
| Angel_Inside | now I'm working under Zenwalk in that comp | 19:35 |
| Angel_Inside | but I'd like to try Xubuntu | 19:35 |
| Angel_Inside | thank you so much! | 19:35 |
| Angel_Inside | byebye! | 19:35 |
| bytor4232 | laters | 19:35 |
