| xy|ox | rpatton, how much ram | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| rpatton | 120mb | 00:06 |
| xy|ox | i think you should have at least 256 mb | 00:07 |
| rpatton | ok but the processor should run it right ? | 00:08 |
| xy|ox | well, processor is commonly not a big concern, always you use a light desktop environment like xfce | 00:09 |
| xy|ox | whats the speed | 00:09 |
| rpatton | 533mhz | 00:10 |
| xy|ox | yeah its alright, im running on a 500 mhz with 384 mb | 00:11 |
| DetroitLiberty | why is sharing my printer so fucking hard! | 00:17 |

| mib_6kur4b0j | Just installed my first official distro, ever... and need a hand up trying to get something. Anyone have a second? | 02:53 |
| R1cochet | what u need? | 02:58 |
| Zapper | Hey all | 03:06 |
| Zapper | whos on | 03:06 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Well, I'd like to get a lightweight CD player. | 03:10 |
| Zapper | hehe | 03:10 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Because Totem gives me an error when I put my CD in. | 03:10 |
| Zapper | get a ipod | 03:10 |
| Zapper | lol | 03:10 |
| Zapper | wait... thats mp3 | 03:10 |
| zoredache | vlc? | 03:12 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Okay. I'm familiar with it. | 03:12 |
| R1cochet | mib_6kur4b0j: did u try listen music player? | 03:12 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | I didn't see it in my menus. | 03:12 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Where do I need to look for it. | 03:13 |
| zoredache | maybe audacious? | 03:13 |
| R1cochet | yea i like audacious myself | 03:13 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | All right, all I really need is "play" and "repeat" anyway. Nothing fancy. | 03:14 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | :P | 03:14 |
| R1cochet | well w/ audacious u can use older winamp skins :) | 03:14 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Now, to do things the linux way is to use get-apt... right? Never used it. =\ How do I get-apt Audacious? | 03:14 |
| R1cochet | well yes u can use apt-get or u can open: Apps>system>synaptic | 03:15 |
| R1cochet | then search for audacious | 03:15 |
| R1cochet | might be easier | 03:15 |
| R1cochet | however to do apt-get open terminal and type "sudo apt-get install audacious" | 03:15 |
| R1cochet | w/out the "" | 03:15 |
| R1cochet | also u might wanna make sure that u have install xubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:16 |
| R1cochet | and if u wanna watch dvds u need to get libdvdread4 and libdvdcss2 | 03:17 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Why? What's that? | 03:17 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Nah. It's an old P3 with 384 MB ram. | 03:17 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | I'm not watching any DVDs on tht. | 03:17 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | lol | 03:17 |
| R1cochet | that will install all the plugins u need to watch flash movies and other online stuff | 03:17 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Synaptec just got me audacious. | 03:19 |
| R1cochet | cool | 03:19 |
| R1cochet | now play ur music away | 03:19 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Except it's not.. | 03:19 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Totem opened again and told me "location not found." | 03:19 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | My CD doesn't seem to have... mounted? | 03:20 |
| R1cochet | did u check through places menu? | 03:24 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Yea. Not there. "username" trash desktop file system floppy drive recent documents | 03:25 |
| R1cochet | hmm | 03:27 |

| === Duckslammer_ is now known as Duckslammer | ||
| mib_6kur4b0j | It's cool. You got me audacious, which is good enough for now. | 03:29 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | I need to crash for the night. Thanks for the help so far, though. I'll pop my head back in. | 03:29 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | (I'm doing this over a web interface... what do you recommend for IRC xubuntu?) | 03:29 |
| R1cochet | xchat all the way | 03:30 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | Thank you kindly. | 03:30 |
| R1cochet | pidgin is only good for msn type chat | 03:30 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | All right. | 03:31 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | I'll pick up xchat next time I come through, and I'll have an actual handle for these channels. | 03:31 |
| mib_6kur4b0j | (btw, if you're ever stuck w/o your comp or xchat... mibbit is what I found, and it's a BIG help) | 03:32 |
| R1cochet | is there an EQ for listen music player? my music is coming out a bit odd and would like to be able to adjust the settings | 04:18 |
| R1cochet | nvm i guess not | 04:35 |
| R1cochet | can any1 recommend a good music player w/ an eq besides audacious? | 04:36 |
| R1cochet | is there a p2p app similar to frostwire that isnt frostwire? | 05:21 |
| xerxes__ | vuze? | 05:34 |
| Zapper | vuze isnt similar | 05:36 |
| Zapper | its 832749874368736938473498976 times better | 05:36 |
| R1cochet | naw to commercial and i have deluge | 05:36 |
| R1cochet | so vuze is more than a torrent client? | 05:36 |
| xerxes__ | http://www.vuze.com/app | 05:37 |
| R1cochet | but is it safe? | 05:37 |
| xerxes__ | in what way? | 05:37 |
| R1cochet | sending my info to the feds | 05:38 |
| xerxes__ | well, I think you can do ssl-connections | 05:39 |
| Zapper | azureus.sourceforge.com | 05:39 |
| xerxes__ | im not sure | 05:39 |
| Zapper | or .net | 05:39 |
| Zapper | or w/e sourceforge is | 05:39 |
| xerxes__ | whats wrong with transmission? | 05:39 |
| zoredache | R1cochet: the only safe thing to do is to no steal 'share' stuff you don't ahve rights to share | 05:40 |
| zoredache | everything can probably be detected if the interested party is concerned enough | 05:40 |
| R1cochet | i have a torrent client; deluge and i love it. but i was looking for a napster tyoe of client | 05:40 |
| xerxes__ | with transmission you can connect to a tracker through the tor-network and download via ssl | 05:41 |
| R1cochet | zoredache: i do have the rights to the music i was looking for but my disc is messed to hell and i cant rip it to hdd | 05:41 |
| Zapper | is anyone on to answer my questions? | 06:47 |
| Duckslammer | zapper, just ask and see what happens | 07:05 |
| Zapper | lol | 07:43 |
| Zapper | ok | 07:43 |
| Zapper | here goes | 07:43 |
| Zapper | what is xubuntus purpose? i mean my desktop can handle ubuntu fine, but apart from being lightweight what is its use? and what are the downsides with it? | 07:45 |
| Zapper | i mean, im going to get it, but will my other linux programs be compatible with it? | 07:45 |
| forces | just an alternative | 07:46 |
| Zapper | im going to mainly use it for internet and media... | 07:46 |
| forces | desktop alternative | 07:46 |
| forces | ubuntu | 07:46 |
| forces | + xfce | 07:46 |
| Zapper | im going to install windows for native game playing and photoshop etc* | 07:46 |
| Zapper | ok | 07:46 |
| Zapper | will i have any problems installing programs designed for ubuntu? | 07:47 |
| Roylap | In some cases you will have to dl some extra dependencies because of missing GNOME librarys and whatnot but apt-get gets you everything you need anyway. | 07:48 |
| Roylap | Xubuntu is just nice to look at, and fast. | 07:49 |
| Zapper | ok | 07:51 |
| Zapper | would the extra repositories affect my speed in anyway? | 07:51 |
| Roylap | I cant answere that for certian but i really dont think you will notice any speed issues with that. | 07:52 |
| Duckslammer | anyone help with sound card problem? | 08:03 |
| R1cochet | yea xubuntu is the way to go | 08:14 |
| nikolam | hi, what should i do? - My Quit button in Xfce does not work | 08:14 |
| nikolam | I am on hardy 64bit | 08:15 |
| nikolam | Also on other netbook machine with 32bit hardy I have same issue but is is there from last upgrade nowon | 08:15 |
| nikolam | on third machine , also on 32 bit hardy, firefox and seamonkey get frozen after few minutes of activity | 08:16 |
| nikolam | On all 3 machines, problems started after last upgrades (and 2.6.24-24) | 08:16 |
| R1cochet | i had issues when i upgraded also w/ it slowing way down. i did a fresh install and it runs faster than 8.10 did | 08:17 |
| R1cochet | nikolam: did u try both quit buttons? 1 on panel 1 in menu? | 08:21 |
| nikolam | interesting.. i just added quit button on the panel and it pops up | 08:24 |
| nikolam | but i tried that on netbook and didn`t work. | 08:24 |
| nikolam | also on netbook, it doesn`t remember panel settings | 08:25 |
| nikolam | also, 2.6.24-24 didn`t want to boot machine (restarting) until i re-installed fglrx driver with different version | 08:28 |
| nikolam | And at the end, newer kernel after upgrade is just added to /boot , so disk space on /boot partition is wasted very quickly and fails to bot from time to time, since /boot gets filled | 08:29 |
| nikolam | I will try to restart now.. cu all | 08:29 |

| Kangarooo | I have 2 folders open with thunar and will now restart and want thouse 2 folders to be open on start | 14:10 |
| Kangarooo | how to make folders to restore on startup ? | 14:11 |
| SiDi | Kangarooo: at the quit dialog, click on "save session" | 14:12 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | Kangroo: As long as when you shutdown/restart you choose "Save session" it should | 14:12 |
| Kangarooo | and what saving session also does? I've used sessions long time ago but I think its adding services and slowing computer- hiden proceses.. and it also opens all programms so some hidden programms slows pc | 14:13 |
| vixus | session saving just saves all open programs on logout | 14:16 |
| vixus | if you had 'hidden' programs running they might be restarted as well | 14:17 |

| Skinkie | hi all, how can i recover the 'standard ubuntu applications menu'? | 17:08 |
| Skinkie | for some reason it disapeared after upgrading | 17:08 |
| sinelaw | hi, i have a low end system, is xubuntu really better for that? | 19:33 |
| vinnl | Depends, compared to what and how low-end :P | 19:33 |
| sinelaw | very low end | 19:34 |
| sinelaw | ancient | 19:34 |
| sinelaw | 192Mb ram is the worst stat :( | 19:34 |
| vinnl | Oh, I've heard worse :P | 19:34 |
| SiDi | hm | 19:34 |
| vinnl | But it won't really be pleasant, I think | 19:34 |
| SiDi | i think thats enough for Xubuntu ;) | 19:34 |
| sinelaw | is there something that will run better? all i want is to surf the web | 19:34 |
| SiDi | If you shutdown update-notifier, and hardware-drivers notifier, too | 19:35 |
| SiDi | sinelaw: surely openbox on arch will run better, but it'll also be much harder to setup ;) | 19:35 |
| vinnl | There's Puppy Linux, Damn Small Linux, Elive, and many more | 19:35 |
| vinnl | Not that easy to use but for just browsing it should be fine | 19:35 |
| sinelaw | ah great, but too many options is also bad | 19:36 |
| SiDi | That's why you should stick with *our* option xD | 19:37 |
| Wizard | hi | 19:37 |
| sinelaw | SiDi, i want to, but i also want the system to be usable | 19:38 |
| Wizard | how does lts work? will i get latest software or just security updates? | 19:38 |
| vinnl | Wizard, just security updates | 19:38 |
| SiDi | sinelaw: its usable with 192 afaik | 19:38 |
| Wizard | ah, i understand | 19:38 |
| sinelaw | SiDi, the xubuntu web page doesn't even mention that it's supposed to be ligher than ubuntu | 19:38 |
| sinelaw | is that at all a goal? | 19:39 |
| SiDi | sinelaw: just remove stuff you don't need on startup if you want to get a little more RAM. As for the web browser i recommand Opera... | 19:39 |
| SiDi | sinelaw: ah, thats weird to hear :P the goal is OF COURSE to be lighter :) | 19:39 |
| SiDi | knome will make us a new website in the next 2 days anyways... </this _is_ a troll> | 19:39 |
| * SiDi hides. | 19:39 | |
| vinnl | *One of* the goals is to be high-performant | 19:40 |
| sinelaw | yeah it's weird - doesn't mention even what the diference is w.r. to Ubuntu | 19:40 |
| SiDi | (sinelaw, about Opera, i warn you that it's proprietary ! but it uses less ram than ff/midori, afaik) | 19:40 |
| vinnl | It's not supposed to be "a light-weight version of Ubuntu" | 19:40 |
| SiDi | the difference is xfce instead of gnome | 19:40 |
| vinnl | SiDi, Opera uses Qt | 19:40 |
| sinelaw | that's the whole difference? | 19:40 |
| vinnl | No | 19:40 |
| SiDi | vinnl: aw. well thats a shame cause their engine is lighter | 19:40 |
| vinnl | Also a different package selection and mentality in general :) | 19:40 |
| Wizard | hmm | 19:41 |
| vinnl | SiDi, last time I checked WebKit was really light, which is what Midori uses (though Midori is quite unstable) | 19:41 |
| vinnl | And Gecko has made lots of improvement as well, I'm eagerly awaiting Firefox 3.5 ;-) | 19:41 |
| SiDi | vinnl: i tested the RAM used by ff 3.0, ff 3.6 and midori 1.1.6 about a week ago | 19:41 |
| SiDi | midori was worse than 3.0 :X | 19:41 |
| vinnl | 0.o | 19:41 |
| SiDi | and 3.6 was better than 3.0 :P | 19:41 |
| SiDi | With only gmail opened, ff 3.0 was ~90, midori ~110, ff 3.6 ~80 | 19:42 |
| SiDi | I've been shocked too. | 19:42 |
| SiDi | I don't use swap at all, btw ! | 19:42 |
| vinnl | How did you test it? | 19:42 |
| SiDi | well, gnome-system-monitor xD | 19:42 |
| vinnl | (Unfortunately Midori crashes for me so I can't reproduce) | 19:43 |
| SiDi | I wasnt gonna run it in valgrind and read 3000 lines of logs just to test :p | 19:43 |
| vinnl | SiDi, which value did you check? You're supposed to be looking at "Writable Memory" IIRC | 19:43 |
| SiDi | i can check again | 19:44 |
| SiDi | i'll have to kill irc tho | 19:44 |
| SiDi | its in firefox xD | 19:44 |
| pteague | i have to say thank you for being the most usable main stream window manager in jaunty | 19:44 |
| vinnl | Haha xD | 19:44 |
| sinelaw | btw, does it make sense for a motherboard to accept max. 192mb? or is that rare | 19:45 |
| SiDi | pteague: thats because xfwm is pawnage ! | 19:45 |
| vinnl | pteague, heh, there aren't many Xfce developers here I think ;-) | 19:45 |
| sinelaw | (i would expect 256...) | 19:45 |
| SiDi | sinelaw: its probably 128+64 | 19:45 |
| SiDi | the RAM was very expensive at this time | 19:45 |
| sinelaw | yes i remember | 19:45 |
| SiDi | and usually when you were upgrading you weren't buying a new 128MB card | 19:45 |
| sinelaw | i remember when we had a 486DX2 with...wait for it....16 mb of ram! that was insane back then | 19:46 |
| pteague | "oh look, kde4 does shadows..." <crash> "oh look, clear vista like title bars" <crash> "oh, it has a nifty mac like thingy" <crash> | 19:46 |
| vinnl | xD | 19:46 |
| Wizard | lol | 19:46 |
| SiDi | sinelaw: :) i still got a 256 MB ram machine around, i guess i'll use it for some testing purpose | 19:47 |
| Wizard | and /me still uses dwm at work | 19:47 |
| Wizard | :P | 19:47 |
| SiDi | Cause my machine here runs with 4GB of ram, but with xubuntu of course \o/ | 19:47 |
| sinelaw | what i like about this channel... you don't have "users" | 19:47 |
| sinelaw | like #ubuntu | 19:47 |
| Wizard | buehehe | 19:48 |
| sinelaw | :P | 19:48 |
| Wizard | sinelaw: like 'help! internets iz br0ken!' | 19:48 |
| sinelaw | yeah... | 19:48 |
| Wizard | ok | 19:48 |
| Wizard | so.. | 19:48 |
| SiDi | vinnl: 105,5MB average writable mem for midori | 19:48 |
| pteague | intel e6750 dual core, 4gb ram, nvidia 9600gt ... i'm only having problems with running eve-online & i'm hoping that last wine update will fix it | 19:48 |
| SiDi | gonna kill ff and start it in gmail to check, see you :P | 19:48 |
| Wizard | help! my powerbook does not wake from suspend | 19:48 |
| Wizard | (and i forgot how to fix it) | 19:48 |
| Wizard | :P | 19:48 |
| pteague | isn't pushing the power button supposed to bring it back? | 19:49 |
| SiDi | vinnl: firefox is the winner | 19:51 |
| vinnl | 0.o | 19:51 |
| SiDi | ff 3.0 80MB, and 80.6 for ff 3.6 | 19:51 |
| SiDi | with of course all the numerous plugins loaded | 19:51 |
| vinnl | But hey, it's not exactly scientific, so it might be your setup :P | 19:52 |
| SiDi | might be but still :) | 19:52 |
| SiDi | that proves wrong people who claim gecko sucks ! | 19:52 |
| vinnl | Yeah it's a bit of a shocker | 19:52 |
| SiDi | i think they took the advantage with ff 3.0.1 | 19:52 |
| SiDi | (or is it 3.1 ?) | 19:52 |
| SiDi | gmail is responsible of a good 40 MBs of ram usage btw | 19:53 |
| SiDi | its an heavy page :p | 19:53 |
| SiDi | but typically, i'm on gmail/mibbit/another site when i browse, so thats a good use case for me | 19:53 |
| vinnl | Yeah Gmail will definitely perform a lot better in Firefox 3.5 because of the improved Javascript performance | 19:53 |
| SiDi | i can test with a foo.html basic page if you want :p | 19:54 |
| SiDi | but i gotta kill irc again :x | 19:54 |
| vinnl | No don't bother :P | 19:54 |
| sinelaw | SiDi, did you try "basic html" on gmail? | 19:55 |
| sinelaw | and why don't you use xchat or something... | 19:55 |
| SiDi | no sorry :p | 19:55 |
| SiDi | i believe ff would be around 30 MB with just a basic html page in one tab + swap | 19:55 |
| SiDi | sinelaw: i'm behind a firewall, i need port 80 | 19:55 |
| SiDi | and i cant find a freenode serv with port 80 | 19:56 |
| vinnl | SiDi, there's also Chatzilla :) | 19:56 |
| sinelaw | ah ok | 19:56 |
| SiDi | vinnl: it sucks compared to mibbit, imo :P | 19:56 |
| SiDi | and it doesnt solve the ff dependency ^^ | 19:57 |
| vinnl | Sure :) | 19:57 |
| SiDi | i got a box i can ssh into and irssi with | 19:57 |
| SiDi | but mibbit has much more features :P | 19:57 |
| SiDi | and the box is a P II, it lags | 19:57 |
| sinelaw | can i upgrade from ubuntu 8.0.1 to xubuntu 9.0.4? | 19:58 |
| vinnl | sinelaw, you mean 8.04.1? | 19:58 |
| vinnl | You can first upgrade to 8.10 and then to 9.04, and then convert it to a Xubuntu installation, but doing a fresh install is probably easier, especially if you installed your home directory on a separate partition | 19:59 |
| sinelaw | ah forget it, it's xububntu 8.0.4 | 20:00 |
| pteague | ssh tunnel proxy ftw | 20:01 |
| sinelaw | oops, i forgot my username/password on that machine, i guess it's a fresh install then | 20:02 |
| SiDi | sinelaw: congrats ;) | 20:03 |
| sinelaw | oh now, neighbor is doing karaoke.... oh the pain | 20:11 |
| sinelaw | oh *no | 20:12 |
| vinnl | xD | 20:12 |
| SiDi | mine would better not tonight ! | 20:12 |
| vinnl | I wish I found a room, wouldn't mind a karaoke now and then :P | 20:13 |

| vinnl | You'll want to check the mailinglists for that, or perhaps #xfce | 20:26 |
| SiDi | xfce's site isnt up-to-date :D | 20:28 |
| vinnl | Why not? Jerome has been updating it all over with the release of 4.6 | 20:29 |
| SiDi | the url above | 20:29 |
| SiDi | it says latest stable 4.4 | 20:30 |
| SiDi | and latest devel 4.5 | 20:30 |
| vinnl | SiDi, have you pressed Ctrl+Shift+R | 20:30 |
| vinnl | Oh wait, perhaps the mirror in your area hasn't been updated yet... Which would be worrisome | 20:30 |
| SiDi | ah yeh | 20:31 |
| SiDi | french mirror it was ! | 20:31 |
| vinnl | :S Might want to mention that somewhere | 20:32 |
| alyawn | is there a setting buried somewhere that will force a UID/GID when an external hard drive is mounted? | 20:49 |
| Drew3 | Hi folks, the control-panels (Application bar) has disappeared. Two things I have done new and or different are get Wicd (wifi) working and play with the Fn buttons to suspend the laptop. How do I get the menus/application bars back? | 20:51 |
| SiDi | the whole panels ? | 20:52 |
| SiDi | "xfce4-panel &" in a terminal | 20:52 |
| SiDi | vinnl: i got the svn version of translations, i'll update it in a few days :p | 20:53 |
| vinnl | SiDi, ah, you wanted to do translations... There's a special script for that | 20:54 |
| Drew3 | SiDi ty, yes the whole panel, | 20:55 |
| vinnl | Drew3, Alt+F2, run "xfce4-panel" | 20:56 |
| SiDi | vinnl: for the website part i meant | 20:56 |
| Drew3 | vinnl: that was my next question, ty | 20:56 |
| Drew3 | :-) | 20:56 |
| SiDi | i'll probably work on translations/doc in the future, but not now, got enough work | 20:57 |
| vinnl | Heh, well if you do that be sure to check http://i18n.xfce.org/ :) | 20:57 |
| Drew3 | Ty again it worked. | 21:04 |
| vinnl | ^.^ | 21:05 |
| Drew3 | My laptop is a 10yr old Thinkpad, I tried LXDE, but the wifi wouldn't work, has anyone seen or heard of that happening? Lxde (desktop) probably will not be something I need whe I get more than the 192 ram but I was curious if it was a common issue when changing desktops? | 21:07 |
| Drew3 | I will get an additional 512 of ram this week. | 21:07 |
| SiDi | You know, we're using XFCE, not LXDE. | 21:11 |
| Drew3 | A philosophical question, at when point does Xubuntu no longer be Xubuntu, is it when you try Lxde? Sure, and I'll probably stop even trying using lxde-in xubuntu when the ram gets here. | 21:16 |
| vinnl | When you install everything Xubuntu :P | 21:17 |
| vinnl | *uninstall | 21:17 |
| Drew3 | :-) | 21:17 |
| Drew3 | I always screw up a punch line, too. vinnl :-) | 21:18 |
| vinnl | Hehe :P | 21:18 |

| Wunderkind | hi guys | 21:41 |
| terminal | Drew3: maybe networkmanager isn't running | 21:42 |
| terminal | this is probably what you're using to manage your wifi connections | 21:42 |
| vinnl | !hi | Wunderkind | 21:42 |
| ubottu | Wunderkind: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 21:42 |
| Wunderkind | hallo, how do i delete an erroneous xubuntu session? | 21:44 |
| vinnl | I think you'll have to delete the contents of the ~/.cache/sessions directory, according to http://wiki.xfce.org/faq?s[]=session#session_manager | 21:47 |
| vinnl | Anyway, I'm off to bed, good luck :) | 21:50 |
| Name141 | where can I find a list of the min/recommended requirements for Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu ? | 22:32 |
| gravityreloaded | hi can anyone tell me if 256Mb Ram is enough to run xubuntu? | 22:36 |
| gravityreloaded | and only 1.2Mhz processor | 22:37 |
| kennyjb402 | Name141, http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/ this may help | 22:37 |
| gravityreloaded | with normal ubuntu I have problems | 22:37 |
| kennyjb402 | or you can try this http://www.easy-ubuntu-linux.com/ubuntu-system-requirements.html | 22:38 |
| gravityreloaded | ok good. Another question: does it include network manager like in Ubuntu? It's the only way I can get online with mobile internet | 22:41 |
| kennyjb402 | it has an applet which can connect you | 22:42 |
| gravityreloaded | thanks. Only I tried with Sabayon and Dreamlinux and they can't connect with the wi-ci manager | 22:43 |
| knome | gravityreloaded, it's the same network manager applet. with 256 memory, you can run xubuntu, but it might be a bit slow. should be faster than ubuntu, though. | 22:43 |
| gravityreloaded | ubuntu freezes on the referred laptop - reqs are 360Mb, right? | 22:44 |
| kennyjb402 | I belive it is knome | 22:44 |
| knome | kennyjb402, i believe it is as well, but i don't have any own experience, i've only heard this from others. | 22:44 |
| kennyjb402 | I see :) | 22:45 |
| gravityreloaded | nice | 22:45 |
| knome | gravityreloaded, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 22:45 |
| gravityreloaded | I'll give it a try | 22:45 |
| kennyjb402 | working pretty good for me so far | 22:45 |
| gravityreloaded | y I have jaunty 9.04 Ubuntu on my PC | 22:45 |
| gravityreloaded | working great | 22:45 |
| gravityreloaded | just haven't yet tried xubuntu | 22:46 |
| kennyjb402 | cool :) | 22:46 |
| gravityreloaded | I just managed two screens :-8 | 22:46 |
| gravityreloaded | but 2nd screen does't accept windows | 22:46 |
| gravityreloaded | It's just destop and menu | 22:46 |
| * knome runs xubuntu on two screens with no problems | 22:47 | |
| gravityreloaded | y but I have 2nd screen @ 640x480 | 22:47 |
| kennyjb402 | http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_afk-Egip2qY/Sgb63ZGYnxI/AAAAAAAABnQ/hbWYjXYFWn0/s1600-h/idiot.jpg | 22:47 |
| gravityreloaded | and 1st at 1280x960 | 22:47 |
| gravityreloaded | that's not easy | 22:47 |
| gravityreloaded | even Windows has a few objections | 22:47 |
| knome | i suppose that is not a blocker, but can be a bit nasty, yeah. | 22:47 |
| gravityreloaded | I find it strange that I can't drag across to other screent though | 22:48 |
| gravityreloaded | Compiz bug I suppose :p | 22:48 |
| gravityreloaded | It just goes to other face | 22:48 |
| knome | compiz is booo :P | 22:48 |
| gravityreloaded | I like it | 22:49 |
| knome | i like a plain clean desktop. i don't even run the xfce compositor. | 22:49 |
| kennyjb402 | I just installed it, I like it too | 22:49 |
| gravityreloaded | It's gr8 to have different work areas available so easily | 22:50 |
| gravityreloaded | and nice looking as well | 22:50 |
| gravityreloaded | but is a memory hogger | 22:50 |
| knome | hah | 22:50 |
| knome | might be a bit with 256 RAM at least | 22:50 |
| gravityreloaded | on my system I have 1Gb | 22:50 |
| gravityreloaded | more than enough | 22:50 |
| gravityreloaded | with a 2.66 processor | 22:51 |
| gravityreloaded | and 256Mb graphics hehe | 22:51 |
| gravityreloaded | the referred 256Ram was my mum's laptop | 22:51 |
| gravityreloaded | :p | 22:51 |
| gravityreloaded | with windows it takes 5-6 minutes just to start up | 22:52 |
| gravityreloaded | loil | 22:52 |
| kennyjb402 | lol | 22:52 |
