| J_Litewski | zoredache_, can you verify that if you run xfce4-sensors from a terminal and exit it from the 'X' button, the terminal hangs until you press Ctrl+C | 03:49 |
| artistxe | J_Litewski, you are assuming that he has them installed | 04:02 |
| artistxe | ? | 04:03 |
| Yud_Zroc | whats more stable 8.04 ot 9.04 | 04:49 |
| R1cochet | both seem equal to me | 04:52 |
| Yud_Zroc | hm i guess ill try 9.04 | 04:52 |
| R1cochet | u can always try the livecd's | 04:54 |
| Yud_Zroc | im using kubuntu, but it is too buggy for me.....and i want simplicity and it to be very light\ | 04:55 |
| Yud_Zroc | i dont care much about eye candy | 04:55 |
| R1cochet | yes kde is buggy | 04:56 |
| R1cochet | i liked xfce more than gnome | 04:56 |
| Yud_Zroc | gnome is turning to a vista its making my want to cry | 04:56 |
| R1cochet | well then i wont recommend compiz | 04:57 |
| R1cochet | lol | 04:57 |
| Yud_Zroc | does xu come with pigin im, and open office org | 04:57 |
| infdo | is anyone here? | 05:04 |
| Yud_Zroc | i am | 05:04 |
| infdo | why does xubuntu need its own channel? | 05:04 |
| Yud_Zroc | cause it uses another DE | 05:05 |
| Yud_Zroc | and coding could be different idk | 05:05 |
| infdo | what does a different DE include? | 05:05 |
| infdo | are there different packages? | 05:06 |
| Yud_Zroc | different repos | 05:06 |
| R1cochet | Yud_Zroc: it comes w/ pidgin but ull have to dl OOo from repos | 05:06 |
| infdo | different commands? | 05:06 |
| Yud_Zroc | ok | 05:06 |
| R1cochet | its comes w/ abiword and gnumeris | 05:06 |
| Yud_Zroc | R1cochet: can i remove them\ | 05:06 |
| R1cochet | of course | 05:06 |
| R1cochet | u can remove from synaptic or terminal | 05:07 |
| infdo | R1cochet: can i install open office if i want? | 05:07 |
| R1cochet | thats the first thing i do :) | 05:07 |
| R1cochet | get rid of abiword and gnumeris | 05:07 |
| R1cochet | yes | 05:07 |
| R1cochet | its in repos | 05:07 |
| Yud_Zroc | does it use apt-get | 05:07 |
| R1cochet | yep | 05:07 |
| R1cochet | sudo apt-get remove abiword gnumeric | 05:07 |
| infdo | R1cochet: does it have the "add/remove programs" feature? | 05:08 |
| R1cochet | or sudo apt-get purge abiword, and sudo apt-get autoremove | 05:08 |
| R1cochet | yes | 05:08 |
| R1cochet | it has add/remove as well as synaptic package manager | 05:08 |
| infdo | so why would anyone choose ubuntu over xubuntu? | 05:09 |
| R1cochet | ubuntu uses gnome and xubuntu uses xfce | 05:09 |
| R1cochet | its all preference | 05:09 |
| R1cochet | i prefer xfce | 05:09 |
| R1cochet | also i recommend after u install that u remove gnome-screensaver and opt for xscreensaver | 05:10 |
| R1cochet | more options, u can fine tune each screensaver | 05:10 |
| infdo | so if i install xfce then my system is officially xubuntu? | 05:11 |
| R1cochet | i guess yea | 05:11 |
| Yud_Zroc | xscreensaver? | 05:11 |
| R1cochet | r u on ubuntu now? | 05:11 |
| infdo | yeah | 05:11 |
| R1cochet | i think theres a howto somewhere on switching to xfce | 05:12 |
| Yud_Zroc | yesh | 05:12 |
| Yud_Zroc | open up syn | 05:12 |
| Yud_Zroc | the search xfce-desktop-enviornment (spelling might be off) | 05:12 |
| R1cochet | xscreensaver is the aplet that lets u control the screensavers | 05:12 |
| R1cochet | far superior to gnome-screensaver | 05:13 |
| infdo | can i go to the ubuntu channel for xubuntu support? | 05:13 |
| R1cochet | yes on some things | 05:14 |
| R1cochet | i have | 05:14 |
| R1cochet | just depends on what it is | 05:14 |
| infdo | what things cant i go there for? | 05:14 |
| R1cochet | i have no idea | 05:14 |
| R1cochet | prolly xfce issues | 05:15 |
| infdo | what does ubuntu have that xubuntu doesnt? | 05:15 |
| infdo | i remember installing xubuntu once | 05:15 |
| R1cochet | nothing that ive needed | 05:16 |
| infdo | and it didnt have something that ubuntu did have | 05:16 |
| R1cochet | like? | 05:16 |
| infdo | i forgot what | 05:16 |
| infdo | are there any compatibility issues with any third party programs? | 05:17 |
| R1cochet | also xfce can run gnome and kde apps | 05:17 |
| R1cochet | dunno | 05:17 |
| R1cochet | ud have to google that | 05:17 |
| Yud_Zroc | because xu and u use the same base most things such as drivers are the same (nvidia, audio, wireless, etc) | 05:18 |
| infdo | R1cochet, Yud_Zroc: how does xubuntu make itself more lightweight? | 05:27 |
| infdo | specifically, how does it make the desktop environment more lightweight? | 05:27 |
| Yud_Zroc | less clutter and your memery locations types | 05:28 |
| Yud_Zroc | it manages memery easier cause it uses programs that use less ram | 05:28 |
| Yud_Zroc | making calculations faster by using less memery | 05:28 |
| infdo | what do you mean by less clutter? | 05:29 |
| R1cochet | less shit | 05:29 |
| infdo | less packages? | 05:29 |
| Yud_Zroc | like a car that is almost the same except for the casing...one has fiborglass the other is metal | 05:29 |
| R1cochet | .comparison xfce to gnome | 05:30 |
| infdo | what? | 05:30 |
| R1cochet | wrong channel sry | 05:30 |

| nikolam | It seems it is designed to destroy all interactive usefulness while installing packages in background. | 09:37 |
| nikolam | i am not sure, maybe its priority could be changed somewhere | 09:38 |
| R1cochet | what are u talking about | 09:44 |
| R1cochet | i have no such issues here | 09:44 |
| nikolam | Very nice, I am on 64-bit Xubuntu Hardy/8.04 and you? | 09:45 |
| nikolam | I use software Raid1 device and 2 sata hdd`s, maybe that is bottleneck or something | 09:46 |
| nikolam | Since I see that every disk operation also slow things down very much, even f process is of no high priority etc | 09:47 |
| nikolam | I am also using fglrx driver maybe that is something to consider, too | 09:47 |
| R1cochet | i dunno maybe | 09:49 |
| nikolam | or i could try rt kernel or something | 09:49 |
| R1cochet | im on 32b xubuntu 9.04, amd 4400 2g ddr1 3sata, 1 which is partitioned to 2 drives for dual boot | 09:50 |
| nikolam | hey, Could you boot with kernel 2.6.24-24, I can only boot with 2.6.24-23 | 09:50 |
| R1cochet | i only used 8.04 for about 2mo then 8.10 came out | 09:50 |
| nikolam | Ok, I see. | 09:50 |
| nikolam | I have testing partition on first drive for 9.04 | 09:51 |
| nikolam | But I don`t think I will migrate any time soon, I have all new programs on this LTS I need. | 09:51 |
| R1cochet | gotcha, that alwats is a pain | 09:52 |
| R1cochet | how do i find out the kernal im running? | 09:52 |

| R1cochet | ive read that unless u have more than 4g ram that its pointless to run 64bit version | 09:53 |
| nikolam | mm maybe.. | 09:58 |
| histo | R1cochet: not really | 10:09 |
| histo | R1cochet: I run 64bit and see no difference from 32bit. | 10:10 |

| valdur55 | I have lost my panels. | 15:05 |
| charlie-tca | !panels | 15:05 |
| ubottu | Did your panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ | 15:05 |

| valdur55 | yea :) Like four days in xfce. | 15:09 |
| valdur55 | Damn.. My cpu is 100% | 15:12 |
| charlie-tca | You can use system monitor from Applications -> System -> System Monitor to see what is causing that. | 15:13 |
| valdur55 | CPU Graph give false alarm? | 15:16 |
| charlie-tca | In System Monitor? | 15:17 |
| valdur55 | In panel :) | 15:17 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know. It might not be giving correct increments | 15:18 |
| valdur55 | i think. X-serv restart is best way | 15:18 |

| satuon | I've got a problem, I installed compiz and Alt+F2 stopped working. | 20:24 |
| artistxe | strange. works here | 20:24 |
| artistxe | did you check your keyboard settings ( settings manager ) ? | 20:25 |
| satuon | actually it works after i go to settings->keyboard and re-set the shortcut to be Alt+F2 (and it was Alt+F2 before that, so i haven't changed anything) | 20:28 |
| satuon | but each time i start compiz it stops working again :( | 20:29 |
| knome | satuon, sounds like compiz is stealing that shortcut for some other use. | 20:33 |
| knome | satuon, once running compiz, what does alt+f2 do? | 20:33 |
| satuon | nothing | 20:35 |
| satuon | i mean, nothing that i can see | 20:36 |
| Besogon | How can I find out driver of my Cd-rom? | 20:36 |
| satuon | is there any way to see to what's Alt+F2 binding? | 20:37 |
| satuon | some file that i can text-search for 'alt+f2'? | 20:37 |
| charlie-tca | Besogon: look in /var/log/dmesg for cd-rom | 20:40 |
| Besogon | !paste | 20:40 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 20:40 |
| charlie-tca | All you have to do is open it in mousepad and search for cd-rom | 20:40 |
| charlie-tca | Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 is what mine says | 20:41 |
| Besogon | charlie-tca, http://paste.ubuntu.com/168111/ How can I know where is word of the name driver? | 20:42 |
| charlie-tca | Mine is about 2 lines after that | 20:43 |
| charlie-tca | My second cd-rw drive doesn't show any driver. It might be built into the kernel | 20:44 |
| Besogon | 'Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods' what is mean that string? It has just after 2 lines that was pasted there by me | 20:48 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know | 20:52 |

| Slonkie | Evening slow-motion :) | 21:15 |
| slow-motion | hi Slonkie | 21:16 |
| artistxe | I know that this is the Xubuntu room. but I was curious . does anyone have any opinions on switching over to Linux Mint XFCE ? | 21:19 |
| artistxe | as in. reasons not to ? | 21:19 |
| artistxe | I keep reading that Mint is an "improved" version of xubuntu and besides newbie friendliness I cannot figure out why. | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | Doesn't Mint have all the codecs? | 21:22 |
| artistxe | "all the codecs" ? by that you mean media ? | 21:23 |
| artistxe | downloading the iso right now. I am not sure if it will run live though. | 21:24 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, Isn't Mint a mulimedia distro? | 21:25 |
| charlie-tca | !mint | 21:25 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce) | 21:25 |
| Slonkie | Is Mint build on ubuntu too? | 21:29 |
| artistxe | charlie-tca, did not know that it was a multimedia distro. I have what I need with Xubuntu though | 21:29 |
| artistxe | supposed to be lighter and "out of the box" | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | Slonkie: yes | 21:30 |
| Slonkie | Okay | 21:30 |
| Slonkie | I must say, it does look quite nice | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | Just because it is not xubuntu doesn't mean it can not look nice... | 21:31 |
| artistxe | :) | 21:31 |
| Slonkie | Lol | 21:32 |
| artistxe | well. it is not going to kill me to try it out. but I would hate to reconfig my entire setup . I could save my home dir I think and swap it out ...update the installed programs. but the OS would have to impress me to do that. | 21:33 |
| artistxe | the I would have to start #mint | 21:34 |
