| Dillizar | will gnome programs work on xubuntu | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| charlie-tca | yes | 00:11 |
| Dillizar | bot not themes | 00:12 |
| charlie-tca | although they may add dependencies | 00:12 |
| charlie-tca | Themes will too | 00:12 |
| Dillizar | wow | 00:12 |
| charlie-tca | for the most part | 00:12 |
| Dillizar | hmm | 00:12 |
| charlie-tca | !themes | 00:12 |
| ubottu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 00:12 |
| Dillizar | i can put kde AND gnome | 00:12 |
| charlie-tca | not the www.gnome.org | 00:12 |
| charlie-tca | not=note | 00:12 |
| Dillizar | wow now i have 3 OS to choose from LCARS 24 LXDE or xfce | 00:13 |
| Dillizar | lxde its off cuz it looks like kde and i dont like it | 00:14 |
| Dillizar | but never the less LCARS is hmmm ^^ | 00:14 |
| Dillizar | !usb | 00:15 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 00:15 |
| Dillizar | damn its so hard | 00:17 |
| * charlie-tca thinks only hard the first 10-20 times | 00:19 | |
| Dillizar | yeah | 00:20 |
| Dillizar | but | 00:20 |
| Dillizar | look at this | 00:20 |
| Dillizar | http://lxde.org/download | 00:20 |
| Dillizar | why they dont do this with xubuntu too | 00:21 |
| charlie-tca | Look at the sizes they have. We have to stay up with Ubuntu, since we use the same installers and repositories | 00:22 |
| Dillizar | wait | 00:23 |
| charlie-tca | When borrowing from elsewhere, you can't always just change it. | 00:23 |
| Dillizar | does 9.04 comes out the same time with ubuntu | 00:23 |
| charlie-tca | yes, April 23. | 00:24 |
| Dillizar | charlie-tca so a 700mb iso to make it a a usb i will need how big usb?? | 00:24 |
| charlie-tca | 700mb, I think | 00:24 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know for sure. I don't do that | 00:25 |
| Dillizar | if i install lxde | 00:25 |
| charlie-tca | http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/ubuntu-from-your-flash-drive-easier-than-ever-before/ | 00:25 |
| charlie-tca | Take a look at that | 00:25 |
| Dillizar | and then install xfce will i have xubuntu??\ | 00:26 |
| Dillizar | no | 00:26 |
| charlie-tca | no, xubuntu is not lxde, it is ubuntu with xfce instead of gnome | 00:26 |
| knome | Dillizar, you could think that xfce is part of xubuntu | 00:27 |
| Dillizar | yeah | 00:28 |
| Dillizar | but lxde its ubuntu with lxde right | 00:28 |
| Dillizar | or just debian \ | 00:28 |
| charlie-tca | lscd is not ubuntu, it is debian | 00:28 |
| Dillizar | not ubuntu | 00:28 |
| charlie-tca | That is not the same, although it uses some of the same stuff | 00:28 |
| Dillizar | is there #xubuntu+1 | 00:28 |
| Dillizar | nope :) | 00:29 |
| charlie-tca | no, all of +1 is ubuntu: #ubuntu+1 handles ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu | 00:29 |
| charlie-tca | but not lxde | 00:29 |
| Dillizar | so i need usb-creator and a xubuntu :) | 00:30 |
| charlie-tca | you need whatever xubuntu blog said. | 00:30 |
| charlie-tca | He is a xubuntu user | 00:30 |
| Dillizar | sounds scary | 00:31 |
| charlie-tca | you don't have a cd drive? | 00:31 |
| Dillizar | well i have but it doesnt work that good | 00:31 |
| Dillizar | but | 00:32 |
| charlie-tca | All the images are good today | 00:32 |
| Dillizar | i want to make with me PC (ubuntu) | 00:32 |
| Dillizar | for my laptop | 00:32 |
| Dillizar | charlie-tca thanks a lot man for the info i will be installing xubuntu 9.04 first thing in the morning | 00:45 |
| charlie-tca | Great. You are welcome | 00:45 |
| charlie-tca | Good luck, and yes, we discuss 9.04 here too | 00:46 |
| charlie-tca | I am running it, and so are several others | 00:46 |
| Dillizar | they say its damn fast | 00:47 |
| Dillizar | :) | 00:47 |
| charlie-tca | It is fast, and works smooth. Ext4 file system still has issues though | 00:47 |

| bluestaze | Hello i want to how it is possible to know whats my wireless card | 02:42 |
| bluestaze | I use Ubuntu :P | 02:42 |
| charlie-tca | bluestaze: try "sudo lshw" in a terminal | 02:56 |
| brandonban6 | evening! How do I "exit X" or quit my xserver? Trying to upgrade my video card, and that is the message the driver gives me | 03:00 |
| brandonban6 | ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. | 03:00 |
| brandonban6 | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop <-- crashed my system in regards to my above question :( | 03:10 |

| TWF | hi! | 04:42 |
| brandonban6 | hello | 04:42 |
| TWF | I got what claimed to be the xubuntu 8.10 torrent | 04:43 |
| TWF | http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/intrepid/release/desktop/xubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent | 04:44 |
| TWF | but upon installing it appeared to be ubuntu 8.04 | 04:44 |
| brandonban6 | what do you mean appeared to be? did the splash screen show up as ubuntu? | 04:46 |
| n2diy | I see there is no text editor in accessories, what would you suggest? I'd like something that will do syntac checking for html and perl? | 04:48 |
| brandonban6 | n2diy, the text editor is listed as mousepad, I don't know how it fairs out with coding, but if you want the gnome client, you can type "sudo apt-get install gedit" in a terminal screen. | 04:49 |
| n2diy | brandonban6: thanks, yes, mousepad, still confuses me. | 04:52 |
| TWF | it was gnome | 04:53 |
| TWF | all the splash screens showed up as ubuntu, not xubuntu | 04:57 |
| TWF | it looked exactly like a default ubuntu 8.04 install | 04:57 |
| brandonban6 | TWF, that stinks. Perhaps try another download? | 04:58 |
| TWF | I direct-downloaded the same file | 04:59 |
| TWF | they exactly matched in size so I assume they're the same iso | 04:59 |
| TWF | that's not my problem though really | 05:01 |
| TWF | I got xubuntu-desktop through synaptic | 05:01 |
| TWF | which worked great for a few minutes | 05:01 |
| TWF | I did this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfcehardy | 05:03 |
| TWF | to remove gnome, but now my display's all messed up | 05:03 |
| brandonban6 | TWF, I'm sorry! Wish I could help, but that is a bit out of my league, maybe try posting in ubuntuforums? or perhaps trying later when someone else is on. | 05:04 |
| TWF | I did post on the ubuntu forums :X | 05:06 |
| TWF | they're having database troubles atm. | 05:06 |
| n2diy | does abiword do syntax checking for perl and/or html? | 05:20 |
| n2diy | test n2diy test | 05:37 |
| cjae | sudo chmod a + rwx /dev/sdb would let everyone be able to modify my ntfs external drive? | 07:25 |

| lc2 | mm, i don't know shit about that, but you might want to try someone in the main ubuntu channel, since those issues are nearly always not xubuntu-specific | 22:06 |
| Shooree | right right | 22:06 |
| Shooree | will do that, cheers | 22:07 |
| === gorgut is now known as gorgut_AFK | ||
| Shooree | meh, its like a well of despair in #ubuntu! thousands of questions flying around... I'll never get an answer :( | 22:13 |
| knome | Shooree, which xubuntu version are you running? | 22:16 |
| Shooree | 8.10 | 22:16 |
| knome | right. let me see if i can help you. just a moment | 22:16 |
| Shooree | I'm wading through the very detailed solutions on the forums, but I can't get any of them to work | 22:16 |
| Shooree | I actually reinstalled the system hours ago, in order to solve it afresh | 22:17 |
| Shooree | would you like me to post the links to the forum threads I'm reffering to_, knome_ | 22:18 |
| SiDi | Did you just try to bind the keys in "Xfce params -> keyboard -> shortcuts" ? | 22:18 |
| knome | Shooree, that would be nice, yeah. | 22:18 |
| Shooree | what I did was explained in step one of the http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=997860 | 22:19 |
| Shooree | first stumbling point for me was that it doesn't say where to save the .xbindkeysrc file, once I create and edit it | 22:19 |
| Shooree | it just ends up in my home folder | 22:20 |
| knome | i suppose it is the right place | 22:20 |
| Shooree | ok then | 22:20 |
| Shooree | so I've put it there | 22:20 |
| Shooree | like the guide says | 22:20 |
| Shooree | and made the autostart command | 22:20 |
| Shooree | the xinput thing mentioned in the paragraph above | 22:21 |
| knome | yeah. | 22:21 |
| Shooree | installed exhaile that the guy mentions | 22:21 |
| knome | have you booted/logged out and in after that? | 22:21 |
| Shooree | and bummer. the media keys still works as if its a mouse wheel | 22:21 |
| Shooree | yea, several times | 22:22 |
| knome | ok | 22:22 |
| Shooree | I haven't done any other steps yet | 22:23 |
| knome | !info xvkbd | 22:23 |
| ubottu | xvkbd (source: xvkbd): software virtual keyboard for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8-1 (intrepid), package size 70 kB, installed size 296 kB | 22:23 |
| Shooree | should I do something with this info? | 22:24 |
| knome | can you try to change any of those items to, for example, "exaile" | 22:25 |
| knome | the xvkbd items | 22:25 |
| knome | and restart x and try if that button opens exaile | 22:25 |
| Shooree | I'm sorry, I don't follow... should I install this xvkbd package first? | 22:25 |
| knome | nope. just mevermind that. :) | 22:26 |
| knome | or well, i think it would be good if you don't have it already | 22:26 |
| Shooree | haven't installed anything like that | 22:26 |
| knome | ok, then try installing it | 22:26 |
| Shooree | ok | 22:26 |
| knome | and restart x and try thebuttons | 22:27 |
| Shooree | you mean, without touching anything else - just install and restart | 22:27 |
| knome | yes. | 22:27 |
| Shooree | okies. see you in a sec | 22:28 |
| knome | sure | 22:28 |
| Shooree | nope, nothing changed | 22:33 |
| Shooree | tried rewriting the autostart command again | 22:33 |
| knome | right... | 22:33 |
| Shooree | and still nothing | 22:33 |
| Shooree | I'm restarting X from the tty thing, btw. Is that alright? | 22:34 |
| knome | Shooree, i suppose it is, as long as X really gets restarted | 22:34 |
| Shooree | how do I know it really did get restarted? | 22:34 |
| Shooree | is there a better option | 22:34 |
| Shooree | other than an actual restart | 22:35 |
| knome | ctrl+alt+bakcspace should restart x | 22:35 |
| Shooree | I mean, I kill the gdm | 22:35 |
| Shooree | through tty | 22:35 |
| knome | killing the gdm doesn't really restart x | 22:35 |
| Shooree | oh | 22:35 |
| Shooree | ohhhh | 22:35 |
| Shooree | well, sorry then. I'll try it immediately | 22:36 |
| knome | at least properly, if i'm correct | 22:36 |
| knome | np. | 22:36 |
| Shooree | oh oh | 22:36 |
| Shooree | how do I restart it_ | 22:36 |
| Shooree | if I need to | 22:36 |
| Shooree | or does it do that by itself | 22:36 |
| Shooree | :) | 22:36 |
| knome | ctrl+alt+backspace when in graphical mode, preferably in gdm | 22:36 |
| knome | then x reloads itself | 22:37 |
| Shooree | okies. thanks | 22:37 |
| knome | at least in intrepid it should | 22:37 |
| Shooree | lets see :) | 22:37 |
| knome | you'll see the screen going black | 22:37 |
| knome | damn this slow interweb | 22:37 |
| Shooree | its the same thing, apparently | 22:42 |
| Shooree | through tty is just a longer way | 22:43 |
| Shooree | anyway, the media keys are still not remapped | 22:43 |
| knome | yeah. | 22:43 |
| knome | right. | 22:43 |
| whileimhere | Silly Question but if I am using a laptop with an AMD athlon processor and with a gig of ram will XFCE actually still run light then the Ubuntu desktop? | 22:44 |
| knome | whileimhere, it will still run with less ram, but you might not see performance differnece easily | 22:44 |
| Shooree | whileimhere, yes it will | 22:45 |
| knome | Shooree, if you issue the ximput command in terminal, what happens? | 22:45 |
| whileimhere | well I was wondering about that since I use such heavy progs like GIMP and OO would they be better off in XFCE or GNOME? | 22:45 |
| knome | *xinput | 22:45 |
| Shooree | lemme see | 22:45 |
| Shooree | I see usage help | 22:46 |
| knome | whileimhere, basically xfce, if you run to the limits of your ram | 22:46 |
| lc2 | whileimhere: it makes no difference | 22:46 |
| lc2 | whileimhere: i use GIMP all the time under XFCE | 22:46 |
| whileimhere | As a side non XFCE note is there a faster lighter and better or just as good web browser out there? | 22:46 |
| knome | whileimhere, if you run anything that needs under 1 gig, then htere is basically no differnce | 22:46 |
| whileimhere | I mean will GIMP respond better under XFCE than under GNOME? | 22:46 |
| lc2 | whileimhere: it makes no difference what WM you run it under | 22:46 |
| knome | whileimhere, not really. | 22:47 |
| lc2 | whileimhere: i use it regularly for 3k+ x photos with 384mb RAM | 22:47 |
| whileimhere | lc2 you mean that GIMP is just as responsive under GNOME with a 10 meg graphic as it is under XFCE? | 22:47 |
| lc2 | whileimhere: well, other than that XFCE uses less memory and so has more available for GIMP, yeah, pretty much | 22:47 |
| knome | whileimhere, there is no difference as long as you don't use all your ram. | 22:48 |
| whileimhere | AHH that is really what I was wondering | 22:48 |
| whileimhere | Thank you! | 22:48 |
| drozdak | excuse me does anyone know if xfce 4.6 is avalible in xubuntu 8.10 updates? | 22:48 |
| knome | Shooree, the complete xinput line which is in part 1? | 22:48 |
| knome | drozdak, no. | 22:49 |
| drozdak | too bad | 22:49 |
| knome | drozdak, (it isn't) | 22:49 |
| drozdak | why do you think so? | 22:49 |
| Shooree | knome, no, I don't see the line that's in the first step of the post | 22:50 |
| Shooree | I mean | 22:50 |
| knome | drozdak, i meant thathat me saying no meant that it isn't in the updates. :) | 22:50 |
| Shooree | what I see is "usage:" and then quite a few command options listed below | 22:50 |
| Shooree | I just typed "xinput" in terminal | 22:51 |
| drozdak | ok | 22:51 |
| knome | Shooree, with 'xinput set-button-map "4" 1 2 3 17 18 19 20 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16'? | 22:51 |
| Shooree | was I supposed to open it up for... oh | 22:51 |
| Shooree | should I type that? | 22:51 |
| Shooree | into the terminal | 22:51 |
| knome | yeah. | 22:52 |
| Shooree | I made an autostart command out of that | 22:52 |
| Shooree | okok | 22:52 |
| Shooree | I think I understand where this is going | 22:52 |
| Shooree | got and error | 22:52 |
| Shooree | X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) | 22:53 |
| Shooree | when I c/p-ed the line | 22:53 |
| knome | right... | 22:53 |
| Shooree | that's what I got. then there's a few more lines | 22:53 |
| knome | that's why your keys doesn't work. | 22:53 |
| Shooree | what does that tell us? | 22:54 |
| Shooree | I'd really like to understand what I'm doing | 22:54 |
| Shooree | I mean, I know we're diagnosing | 22:54 |
| knome | i have to say i don't have a slightest clue. | 22:55 |
| Shooree | hahaha | 22:55 |
| Shooree | great | 22:55 |
| knome | but that's where it comes down to. have you read all the comments for that thread? | 22:55 |
| Shooree | yes, several times. but then there's other threads. and even more of them. | 22:56 |
| knome | maybe you could search for your specific problem from the threads. | 22:57 |
| knome | atm i have so slow internet connection i just can't do quick browsing :( | 22:57 |
| Shooree | yea I did do that already. it's my 10th hour of poking around. | 22:57 |
| Shooree | I just figured I might stumble into someone who could sort of filter all the noise out | 22:58 |
| knome | sorry to hear that. i hope someone with more experience with those issues come up. | 22:58 |
| Shooree | mm | 22:59 |
| Shooree | anyways, thanks a lot | 22:59 |
