nikolamhi i have trouble trying to remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic01:00
nikolamafter automatic update to linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-22 the other day01:00
crimsunwhat sort of trouble?01:00
nikolamthe trouble was didnt have enough space on /boot01:01
nikolamand removing -21 stopped01:01
nikolampackage is marked broken01:01
crimsunright, you can hack around that by removing older kernels01:01
nikolambut can1 be uninstalled01:02
nikolambut it is not actually there01:02
crimsunwhat is not actually where?01:02
nikolamhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/82234/01:03
crimsunnikolam: touch it01:04
crimsuni.e., sudo touch /boot/System.map-2.6.24-21-generic01:04
crimsunthen allow l-u-m-2.6.24-21-generic to be removed01:04
nikolamhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/82236/01:04
nikolamok01:04
nikolami did touch01:06
nikolambut i cant remove package01:07
crimsunwhat's the error?01:08
nikolamhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/82237/01:09
crimsunso create that directory01:10
crimsunsudo mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic01:11
nikolamOk, It worked :)01:14
nikolamthanks crimsun01:14
crimsunnp01:14
nikolamNext time, I should take closer look to message with error01:14
nikolamalso i should1nt make /boot so small01:15
nikolamit is on eeepc, i was wrongly thinking of saving space and it resulted in problems01:15
crimsunmine /boot is fairly restricted in size01:15
crimsuns/mine/my/01:15
nikolamYes but 50 megs is too small for update, as i see01:16
crimsunyeah, you have to be very deliberate in dist-upgrading, then01:17
nikolami see that 100 should be min. and 250 will be right for most people01:17
nikolami have happily 200 on desktop pc01:18
crimsunoften it means removing l-r-m and l-u-m manually before applying further l-i upgrades that contain abi bumps01:18
nikolam10x crimsun :)01:27

ablomenULRICH`, what corel product? word perfect, psp?10:57
ULRICH`draw10:57
ULRICH`graphics suite10:57

ULRICH`yes I want11:00
ablomenhttp://appdb.winehq.org/search_results.php?cx=013271970634691685804%3Abc-56dvxydi&cof=FORID%3A11&q=corel&sa=Search#90611:00
ULRICH`do you if I need a special driver for the NVIDIA 7300 GT PRO ?11:01
ablomenmy guess is that its the normal nvidia driver (it should install that automaticly from the restricted hardware manager app), but its just a guess11:02
ablomentry google :)11:02
ULRICH`sorry...I found a good driver on official NVIDIA site11:03
ablomenoh you dont have/want to install the driver from the site11:03
ULRICH`why ?11:04
R1cochethhow do i get a gui for xmms2?11:04
ablomenULRICH`, because ubuntu has provided a driver for you11:04
ULRICH`a11:04
ULRICH`ok11:04
ablomenULRICH`, see Menu=>System=>Hardware Drivers11:05
ULRICH`now I`m at work and I want to install unbutu when I`ll go home11:05
ULRICH`ubuntu*11:05
ablomenR1cochet, you might want to look at gxmms211:06
ablomenR1cochet, it should be in the repositories11:06
R1cochetwill that allow me to change skins as well11:06
ULRICH`ablomen do I neer some codecs to see videos ?11:06
ablomenR1cochet, i have no idea to be honest, dont use it myself :)11:06
R1cochetok11:06
R1cochetmay i ask what you do youse?11:07
ablomenULRICH`, you might, but most of them get installed when you need them (if you use totem) and otherwise there are tonns of good (official) guides11:07
ULRICH`ok11:07
ULRICH`thanx11:07
ablomenR1cochet, for music Rhythmbox and for video VLC/MPlayer/sometimes totem11:07
ablomenmostly mplayer11:08
ablomenULRICH`, np :)11:08
R1cochetULRICH`: you will want to install xubuntu-restricted-extras, that grabs all the extra pluagins needed for audio/video11:09
R1cochetcan you skin rhythmbox?11:09
ULRICH`I have downloaded the dexktop version X6411:09
ablomenR1cochet, its a gtk client, so it uses the same skin as other gtk apps11:09
ablomenULRICH`, you might want to stick to 32 bit version11:10
ablomenULRICH`, better support for flash, windows media formats, wine etc11:10
ULRICH`why ? that 64 bit version is nod good ?11:10
ULRICH`ok11:10

ballWhat instruction set is Xubuntu compiled for usually?16:36
balls/usually//16:36
ball(i.e. will it run on a Pentium?)16:42
Odd-rationaleball: yeah, it will run on most pentiums.16:42
ballDoes it require MMX?16:43
Odd-rationaleball: might want to see the supported architect page... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SupportedArchitectures16:45
Odd-rationalesee if that helps any...16:45
ballHmm... makes it sound as though it's compiled with just 80386 instructions, but I doubt that.16:49
ballPerhaps I'll use this box for Oberon.16:52
MarkyWould anyone happen to have any sugestions for replacing the wireless network manager in Ubuntu 8.10? It needs to be something I can download and then transfer using a USB key17:36
dnyyMy window's title bars have gone missin' after installing a theme that installed murrine.  And it won't let me go to the window manager settings, I get an error saying my window manager is unknown.  Does xfce not support murrine or what? :/18:46

TwileBut you know what I'd really like, a UMPC (LiveUSB) Distro of Xubuntu like they have for Ubuntu (as of 8.10).  One without the need for specail installations like the ones on pendrivelinux23:15
TwileNot that pendrive linux is bad23:15
Twileanyways gotta go23:15
TwileIs there a UMPC image for Xubuntu like there is for Ubuntu (as of 8.10)?  It's like a live CD, except persistent and on a USB drive.  Not sure if you still have to change the BIOS settings or not though.23:31
