[00:02] I think a fresh install is less than 2GB [00:03] you can cut it down to just below 1GB afair [00:03] sounds nice :) [00:03] no idea about eepc though [00:03] I know there's a special version of xubuntu, called eeeXbuntu, but I guess that's an older version [00:20] argh, where can I find informations how to Install xubuntu FROM a USB stick [00:20] I can find only informations howto install it ON a usb stick [00:22] !install [00:22] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[08:07] box9: yeah, i think so [08:07] box9: i don't think that key is mapped by default somehow? not sure how to do it myself, unfortunately. [08:08] mm - just had a look at gnome-screenshot and it's part of a package which isn't installed [08:09] I don't want to install it though incase the gnome components slow things down [08:37] Hello, I just installed the Xubuntu 9.04 alpha, and I can't seem to reach the desktop... After the login window, I just get a blank screen. Any ideas? [08:46] greatcaffeine: That really seems to be alpha then :( I had similar problem with guest session with Xfce 4.6beta1, but it vanished after I changed session to Xfce in gdmsetup. [08:46] hehe, I was expecting it to be a little buggy, but I at least hoped to make it to the desktop. [08:48] Apt tells me that there's an update for xfce4-session though, so I'll see if that helps anything. [08:48] * greatcaffeine crosses his fingers [08:52] Ah, that seems to have done the trick. :D [08:54] greatcaffeine: http://cody.zapto.org/?p=51 [08:54] greatcaffeine: there was a bug - glad to know it was fixed [11:28] hi all [11:28] I'm looking for a list and explanation of xubuntu 8.10 install options [11:29] for alt cd at boot [11:38] hi all [11:39] I'm looking for a guide to install options for xubuntu 8.1 === Sinister` is now known as Sinister [13:27] which command launches the Quit dialog?

[14:43] * Pres-Gas loves xubu on the dell mini 9, by the way. [14:43] Good morrow. [14:44] :) [14:44] w00t [14:45] I was installing Ubu and throwing the xfce stuff on top of it so I can refer back to gnome for helping my inlaws, but I think I will switch them to xubu when next they need an upgrade. Keeping it on Ubu 8.04 for now. [14:45] So, now I think I will lurk here for awhile. [14:45] :D [14:45] :-) [14:48] Do I need to do anything special to join the launchpad team? [14:48] Which launchpad team? :) [14:55] xubuntu launchpad team [15:00] https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-users is open to all users of xubuntu [15:01] Thanks, cody-somerville and charlie-tca [15:24] I just segfaulted firefox in gdb (run by "firefox --debug"). What can you tell about the segfault in gdb? [15:27] Can you get the name of the file in which segmentation fault happened? [15:31] jarnos: yes, you can get the name. It is in the apport logs [15:33] charlie-tca: /var/log/apport.log is empty. [15:35] charlie-tca: I get some backtrace from gdb [15:35] what about /var/crash [15:36] charlie-tca: nothing there. maybe because I ran firefox inside gdb. [15:37] could be. [15:38] You can file a bug if you get a backtrace. Mozilla team won't work the bug without it === alegp is now known as alegoodpharm [18:27] My computer doesnt recognize my bluetooth phone, i just installed bluez-utils however neither on the phone, or running hcitool scan on the computer returns either device, can anyone help? [18:39] Is there a way to check what a package depends on? (without apt-get install) === MisterFlibble1 is now known as MisterFlibble [18:40] !bluetooth [18:40] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [18:40] MisterFlibble, you can look up the package at packages.ubuntu.com [18:48] MisterFlibble: apt-cache depends PACKAGENAME [18:49] MisterFlibble, or right-click a package in Synaptic, click Properties and see the Dependencies tab [18:49] thank you [19:21] how can I make a application (like firefox) stay in one workspace? [19:22] dvdm, and have it open on THAT workspace on each start/login? [19:22] Pres-Gas: I do not mind where it is on startup... [19:22] like firefox, when I hit hyperlink in thunderbird [19:22] dvdm, it's not supposed to switch workspaces by itself in the first place [19:23] then firefox is moved to the workspace that thunderbird is running in [19:23] I want firewof to stay in workspace #2 [19:23] vinnl: it does not "all by itself", but like the example... [19:24] Wait, let me try to click a link in one desktop [19:25] dvdm: add by hand to your ~/.config/xfce4/xfwm4/xfwm4rc file. You may have to create this file. "activate_action=none" [19:25] Check the docs in /usr/share/xfce4/doc/C [19:25] Ah. it does indeed, odd [19:26] That forces the windows to quit moving [19:28] charlie-tca: that look *exactly* like what I need... thanks [19:29] no problem. [19:29] it is actually even on the wiki! [19:29] http://wiki.xfce.org/faq [19:29] Even better :-) [19:29] Good luck, gotta go [19:29] it is clear that the search string that I used was just not the correct ones [19:30] That happens ;-) [20:17] How so you let ubuntu log you automatically in Xfce session? [20:18] jarnos: in login window settings... [20:21] TheSheep: Thanks. I searched in Sessions and startup settings. [20:22] jarnos: session is tarted after the login [20:22] started [20:28] TheSheep: Ok. Now I am going to test. [20:48] how do i change the screen resolution above 600x800 [20:49] hi [20:49] i have a question: have Xubuntu 8.10 the same Network Manager of Ubuntu 8.10? [20:50] jon_snow, yes, it does [20:51] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager [20:51] Pres-Gas: sorry for my english. I want to know it because i want to install a Internet Key (model Huawei) and it in Ubuntu is possible [20:52] jon_snow, your english is fine, do not worry about that, we are all a team :) [20:52] :D [20:52] ok thanks [20:53] i like xfce :P and i like ubuntu [20:53] but i like also zenwalk (xfce distro) [20:54] jon_snow, if you see documentation for that for Ubu, it should work in Xubu the same way...now if you used Kubuntu, it uses knetworkmanager which may be a bit different. [20:55] ok thanks, Pres-Gas [20:56] Come back if you still have issues with the Huawei device and hopefully someone here will be able to help out. [20:57] yes [20:57] Hi I have a question relating to screen resolution settings can you help? [20:57] Pres-Gas: can you suggest me a good mirror to download Xub from torrent? [20:58] releases.ubuntu.com/8.10 or other? [20:59] Well, if you use the .torrent file, you can get that anywhere because it is small. Then the bittorrent protocol will download the .iso file from all over the world. So, releases.ubuntu.com would be fine for the torrent [20:59] Where you from, jon_snow? [20:59] italy, [21:00] sicily :D [21:00] There looks to be 5 mirrors in Italy if you choose to download the .iso directly. [21:01] yes [21:08] hi [21:08] Hey, Lolek_FM [21:11] do you know anybody how i change or disable menu hide time when i open xfce menu ? [21:30] hi [21:36] Hello I have a question regarding screen resolution settings [21:39] !ask [21:39] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:44] Can you tell me how I can increase the resolution above 600x800 [21:44] !resolution [21:44] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [21:45] screen resolution [21:45] bowgart, maybe those links would help for beginning? [21:45] ok [21:45] for my question is not any command? :D [21:45] Where can you find information about installing development version of Xubuntu 9.04? [21:46] Thx [21:46] Lolek_FM, i don't know what you are trying to say? [21:46] !jaunty [21:46] Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [21:46] hmmh. [21:47] jarnos, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-2/ ? [21:48] jarnos, you can also select to upgrade to dev versions in synaptic [21:48] jarnos, then update manager will notify you of new dev releases, like jaunty atm [21:49] knome: 1. open main menu, 2. wait around 10 seconds and menu is closed. Do you know how i disable it? :) [21:49] Lolek_FM, not really. why do you need such a long time? [21:50] Lolek_FM, i mean, the timer should at least reset always when you move the mouse/press arrow keys [21:50] when i can not find application :) [21:51] Lolek_FM, i'm not currently running a xubuntu machine, but this sounds really weird. are you sure you haven't clicked off-menu or sth? [21:51] no, key & mouse is ignored [21:52] Lolek_FM, what do you mean by ignored? [21:53] knome: How do you select to upgrade to dev versions in Synaptic? [21:54] i may move with cursor or pres key but menu is close.. [21:55] Lolek_FM, maybe ask JPohlmann once he gets here. [21:55] jarnos, hard question, because i'm not running any system i can run synaptic on [21:56] knome: ok, thx [21:57] jarnos, it might've also been in update-manager itself, but i doubt that. [21:59] !upgrade [21:59] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:00] jarnos, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=intrepid_upgrade2.png [22:00] hmm, that doesn't show dev releases. [22:45] n8 [23:42] ok i got a problem with my windows wanting to disapear when i minimize them.. where as they should normally be on one of my taskbars . they just are no were to be found and only way ive found to get back to them is by using alt+tab. does anyone know how to get things back to where i can minimize and maximize windows from my taskbars???? [23:43] nananana: do you have them in your taskbar when they are open? [23:44] no [23:44] i minimize and they just dissapear [23:44] only way to get back to them is alt+tab [23:44] nananana: then maybe you don't have a task list in you panel... [23:45] nananana: try rightclicking a panel, going to "add to panel" and add a task list... [23:46] ok that fixed it [23:46] thank you [23:47] dont knowhow that got deleted [23:47] weird well see yall later
