| sml1226 | CISO does not run? what am I doing wrong? | 02:48 |
|---|---|---|
| sml1226 | I used apt-get to install, I see it in my bin folder but nothing happens when I try to open it | 02:49 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | anyone here? | 03:13 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | does xubuntu support plug and play | 03:14 |
| sml1226 | of what? | 03:19 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | camera | 03:22 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | ? | 03:22 |
| sml1226 | usb? | 03:22 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | yup | 03:22 |
| sml1226 | probably then | 03:22 |
| sml1226 | I haven't had trouble w/ any of my stuff | 03:22 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | what about camcorders w/o plug and play | 03:23 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | as in need a driver from a cd? | 03:23 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | will windows driver disk work? | 03:23 |
| sml1226 | no, either linux has the driver for it or it won't work | 03:24 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | ouh | 03:24 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | thaks | 03:24 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | thanks | 03:24 |
| sml1226 | win drivers don't work unless you mess with them and then they are linux drivers technically | 03:24 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | 1 last question | 03:25 |
| sml1226 | so if pnp then yes but if not then maybe | 03:25 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | where can i look for the drivers? | 03:25 |
| TheSheep | if someone wrote code to support it, it's already included in the kernel | 03:25 |
| sml1226 | thanks Sheep | 03:25 |
| sml1226 | I had no clue | 03:25 |
| TheSheep | unless it's some closed-source code, then you might find it with system->hardware drivers | 03:26 |
| sml1226 | only used for short time but my stuff works | 03:26 |
| sml1226 | so can anybody tell me why ciso won't work? | 03:26 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | so if i were to install xubuntu. i can just plug my internet via eternet? | 03:27 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | sound drivers? | 03:28 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | sorry lots of question | 03:28 |
| sml1226 | if the nic is supported then yes | 03:28 |
| sml1226 | audio card must be supported as well | 03:28 |
| TheSheep | sml1226: I think it's a command-ine tool | 03:28 |
| TheSheep | line | 03:28 |
| sml1226 | look around for compatability | 03:28 |
| TheSheep | mib_pbpdw2am: everything that works should work out of the box, or with some config changes | 03:29 |
| sml1226 | ok, I need to figure out how to use it then :( | 03:29 |
| TheSheep | sml1226: open a terminal and type 'ciso --help' | 03:29 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | alright! thanks ppl | 03:29 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | downloading now | 03:29 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | ^^ | 03:29 |
| TheSheep | mib_pbpdw2am: ah, no drivers, but you will probably need to download codecs for movies and mp3 | 03:30 |
| TheSheep | !codecs | 03:30 |

| sml1226 | TheSheep: same result as when i type ciso w/o --help | 03:30 |
| TheSheep | sml1226: that is? | 03:30 |
| sml1226 | Compressed ISO9660 converter Ver.1.01 by BOOSTER | 03:30 |
| sml1226 | Usage: ciso level infile outfile | 03:30 |

| sml1226 | that | 03:31 |
| TheSheep | it tells you how to use it | 03:31 |
| sml1226 | wow im dumb | 03:31 |
| sml1226 | thanks a lot | 03:31 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | i should download this one rite xubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso ?? | 03:31 |
| TheSheep | mib_pbpdw2am: yes | 03:32 |
| TheSheep | mib_pbpdw2am: unless you're low on ram | 03:32 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | meaning? | 03:32 |
| TheSheep | mib_pbpdw2am: the graphical installer on that cd won't run very well with less than, say, 256MB of ram | 03:33 |
| sml1226 | TheSheep, it's working now. I just blanked out completely there. I would've figured it out eventually but thanks for the help | 03:33 |
| sml1226 | I am forced to go text based b/c 220MB ram | 03:34 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | i think i have 256 - 8mb for shared memory | 03:34 |
| TheSheep | mib_pbpdw2am: then it's ok | 03:34 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | kk | 03:34 |
| TheSheep | sml1226: actually it works with 196MB of ram, but it's slow then | 03:35 |
| sml1226 | live-cd crashes and won't move on on the ps3 | 03:36 |
| sml1226 | too little ram | 03:36 |
| sml1226 | have to use a alt-instal | 03:37 |
| sml1226 | on newer versions at least | 03:37 |
| TheSheep | ah, ps3 | 03:37 |
| TheSheep | it has a different cpu | 03:37 |
| sml1226 | yep not much ram but 2 3.2ghz cores (ppc-64 :( ) | 03:38 |
| TheSheep | it has so little ram? strange | 03:38 |
| TheSheep | my DS has 4MB :) | 03:38 |
| TheSheep | and runs linux :) | 03:38 |
| TheSheep | not X though | 03:39 |
| sml1226 | game sys not need much but os does, sony needs a "cell-os" that has been rumored | 03:39 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | ds with linux? | 03:39 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | cool crap | 03:39 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | haha | 03:39 |
| TheSheep | yup | 03:39 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | can psp do that | 03:39 |
| TheSheep | yes | 03:40 |
| TheSheep | but I never managed to do taht myself | 03:40 |
| sml1226 | full cell bbe support and the RSX chip if sony makes one but it will be restrictive i guarantee it | 03:40 |
| sml1226 | PSP one is hard to do | 03:40 |
| sml1226 | even now w/ stripped method | 03:41 |
| TheSheep | you need a cracked psp of course, but there is a linux image for it | 03:41 |
| sml1226 | my psp is 5.00 M33-6 right now | 03:41 |
| sml1226 | I'm putting my GOW UMD on the mem stick | 03:41 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | thanks again guty | 03:43 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | guys | 03:43 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | gtg now | 03:43 |
| mib_pbpdw2am | ^^ | 03:43 |
| sml1226 | next its spyro 3 for the ps1 | 03:44 |
| sml1226 | GOW is reason for CISO | 03:44 |
| sml1226 | Scroll wheel doesn't work? fixes? its usb if it makes a difference | 03:51 |

| SupahBoy | hello, anyone have a minute? | 03:58 |
| sml1226 | whatcha need? | 03:58 |
| SupahBoy | trying to figure out why my xubuntu is running slow =/ | 03:58 |
| SupahBoy | i installed it on a ext3 partition | 03:58 |
| SupahBoy | and added a 4 gig swap space partition | 03:58 |
| SupahBoy | my specs are 1.6 ghz and 2 gigs of ram | 03:59 |
| TheSheep | sml1226: can't see any button/scrollwheel events :/ | 03:59 |
| TheSheep | should be fast as lightning | 03:59 |
| sml1226 | I know nothing is there so ??? | 03:59 |
| TheSheep | maybe see what takes all the cpu in the system monitor | 03:59 |
| SupahBoy | any advice on my problem sml1226 | 04:00 |
| sml1226 | my ps3 runs smooth w/ less than a gig of swap and 220mb ram so no clue unless you are running a lot | 04:00 |
| TheSheep | SupahBoy: open system->system monitr and see what's taking all the cpu | 04:00 |
| sml1226 | check it and get back to us | 04:01 |
| sml1226 | sheep u got hacked psp? | 04:02 |
| SupahBoy | i go to process right and then %CPU | 04:02 |
| sml1226 | I used ciso and copied the game and it won't recognize my game | 04:02 |
| SupahBoy | gnome-system monitor is the one thats using the most | 04:02 |
| TheSheep | SupahBoy: what's slow exactly? | 04:03 |
| SupahBoy | like it hangs | 04:03 |
| SupahBoy | alt tab | 04:03 |
| SupahBoy | switching between workspace | 04:03 |
| SupahBoy | between chats on pidgin | 04:03 |
| TheSheep | ah, that's a new "feature" of xfce I'm afraid, I have the same thing | 04:04 |
| SupahBoy | if i go to youtube to watch a video and try and scroll the page lags | 04:04 |
| TheSheep | try disabling compositing | 04:04 |
| sml1226 | I get very little lag while trying alt tab on 9.04 | 04:04 |
| TheSheep | you have an intel graphics card? | 04:04 |
| sml1226 | w/ compositor | 04:04 |
| SupahBoy | yes | 04:04 |
| TheSheep | sml1226: it depends on the card | 04:04 |
| SupahBoy | im using a netbook | 04:04 |
| SupahBoy | where can i disable compositor | 04:05 |
| sml1226 | go to system settings and window manager tweaks | 04:05 |
| TheSheep | I liked the old behavior more, where it didn't wait for refresh -- made the screen messy for a blink of an eye, but worked faster | 04:05 |
| TheSheep | the new one waits for a full refresh, it's cleaner but slower | 04:05 |
| SupahBoy | both of my cpus are at 50% and im only running firefox and pidgin | 04:05 |
| sml1226 | I didn't like the fuzz but i could tolerate it | 04:06 |
| TheSheep | hmm | 04:06 |
| TheSheep | open a terminal and run 'sudo top' | 04:06 |
| SupahBoy | at the top is xorg | 04:07 |
| SupahBoy | then the gnome system monitor then pidgin | 04:07 |
| TheSheep | hmm... | 04:07 |
| TheSheep | xrestop maybe | 04:07 |
| TheSheep | might be not installed by default | 04:08 |
| SupahBoy | that xorg thing takes 50 - 60% of the cpu | 04:08 |
| SupahBoy | what is xorg? | 04:08 |
| sml1226 | I have 5 things open now and my cpus are at 10% and 5% so something is goofed up in your install | 04:08 |
| sml1226 | plus processes | 04:09 |
| TheSheep | SupahBoy: the window system | 04:09 |
| SupahBoy | and yeah this xrestop isnt installed | 04:09 |
| TheSheep | SupahBoy: things that display a lot of changing graphics made it take lots of cpu | 04:09 |
| TheSheep | SupahBoy: usually flash or javascript | 04:09 |
| sml1226 | Xorg is using 25% but sys monitor doesn't show it | 04:10 |
| TheSheep | sml1226: that's because xorg runs as a different user | 04:10 |
| SupahBoy | oh wow i took off comp | 04:10 |
| sml1226 | oh duh | 04:10 |
| SupahBoy | and xorg went dow | 04:10 |
| SupahBoy | to like 8% | 04:10 |
| sml1226 | yay!!! | 04:10 |
| SupahBoy | nvm it went backup | 04:10 |
| sml1226 | but your netbook should fly | 04:11 |
| SupahBoy | should i instal this xreestop | 04:11 |
| SupahBoy | thats why imseeking help | 04:11 |
| SupahBoy | xD | 04:11 |
| TheSheep | won't hurt | 04:11 |
| sml1226 | what's it say about ram? | 04:11 |
| SupahBoy | i have 2 gigs | 04:11 |
| sml1226 | I mean sys monitor say how much is used. what's it at? | 04:12 |
| SupahBoy | oh | 04:12 |
| SupahBoy | on memory | 04:12 |
| SupahBoy | 18.7% | 04:12 |
| sml1226 | yah | 04:12 |
| SupahBoy | 375.9 mb | 04:13 |
| SupahBoy | MiB* | 04:13 |
| sml1226 | k | 04:13 |
| SupahBoy | 0% on my swap | 04:13 |
| SupahBoy | finished installing the xrestop | 04:13 |
| sml1226 | my mem is at 70% and swap at 50% | 04:13 |
| SupahBoy | mind if i ask whats it for | 04:13 |
| SupahBoy | oh | 04:13 |
| SupahBoy | so that means my system isnt working properly? | 04:13 |
| sml1226 | slower but tolerable | 04:14 |
| SupahBoy | i installed compiz desktop effects | 04:14 |
| sml1226 | no yours is fine on mem but cpu is goofy | 04:14 |
| SupahBoy | but i couldng figure out how to run them so im going to uninstall it | 04:14 |
| sml1226 | compiz takes a LOT of power | 04:14 |
| sml1226 | if its running :) | 04:14 |
| TheSheep | yeah, it sucks on laptops, drains the battery | 04:15 |
| SupahBoy | alrigt | 04:15 |
| SupahBoy | alright* | 04:15 |
| SupahBoy | got it removed | 04:15 |
| sml1226 | xfce compositor is much lighter on system | 04:15 |
| SupahBoy | first cpu is at 60% 2nd is at 40% | 04:15 |
| SupahBoy | once i install the xrestop | 04:16 |
| SupahBoy | does it run automatcally? | 04:16 |
| TheSheep | no | 04:16 |
| TheSheep | it's like top | 04:16 |
| TheSheep | only for xorg alone | 04:16 |
| TheSheep | tells you which windows take the most resources | 04:16 |
| SupahBoy | ohhhh i see | 04:16 |
| TheSheep | there is also powertop for when you want to see what drains the battery | 04:17 |
| SupahBoy | gnome system monitoris takign 42% | 04:17 |
| SupahBoy | and xorg 44% | 04:17 |
| TheSheep | close it :) | 04:17 |
| SupahBoy | what in the world | 04:18 |
| SupahBoy | why is my cpu workign so harrd | 04:18 |
| SupahBoy | im not running anythin | 04:18 |
| SupahBoy | ok i closed fire fox and now they are both running on 35% | 04:18 |
| SupahBoy | - 44% | 04:18 |
| SupahBoy | around there | 04:18 |
| SupahBoy | im only running pidgin | 04:19 |
| TheSheep | close gnome system monitor | 04:19 |
| SupahBoy | that is a lot of cpu usage for just pidgin dont you think | 04:19 |
| SupahBoy | done | 04:19 |
| SupahBoy | did i do anything wrong by installing on ext3 | 04:20 |
| SupahBoy | and adding a 3.8 gig partition? | 04:20 |
| SupahBoy | hmm | 04:22 |
| SupahBoy | no more ideas | 04:22 |

| Slonkie | Sometimes it does, but not allways, cody-somerville :/. | 14:34 |
| cody-somerville | Slonkie, It might have to do with your focus stealing prevention settings set in xfwm4 | 14:34 |
| cody-somerville | Slonkie, or it could be a bug. | 14:36 |

| mnemoc | hi, me again. does 8.10 (+4.6) support dual head via xrandr or only using xinerama? | 15:17 |
| charlie-tca | Xfce 4.6 only supports xrandr | 15:17 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | is there anyreason y it would go blank? | 15:20 |
| SiDi | mib_xbbk9uuh, no drivers for your graphics card could be a reason | 15:26 |
| SiDi | what hardware do you have, what cd are you using ? | 15:26 |
| SiDi | any error message popping up ? | 15:26 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | nope | 15:27 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | no error massages | 15:27 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | im using the onboard grafix | 15:28 |
| mnemoc | charlie-tca: any Idea why, having both screens working fine xrandr-wise, the screen wizard only sees one and the panel is also stick on the LVDS even after xfce4-panel --restart? | 15:32 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | whats the diff between alternate and the normal iso? | 15:35 |
| ochosi | mib_xbbk9uuh, the alternative iso has the older, command-line-like install system whereas the normal one has a live system | 15:39 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | normal is a live CD with optional boot loader, alternate is a more tradiational Linux install CD prvoiding with more options during install, but can't run the Live Version to see if you likit first | 15:39 |
| === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| mib_xbbk9uuh | thats all? | 15:40 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | as far as I know | 15:40 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | I know on my old machine it will play the Ubuntu "normal" but not the Xubuntu "normal" but after install Xubuntu runs much better than Ubuntu | 15:40 |
| charlie-tca | mnemoc: I don't know, but following many questions asked in #xfce, I do know 4.6 uses xrandr | 15:41 |
| mnemoc | charlie-tca: thanks, it's a great time saving hint (not wasting time on xinerama). I'll keep researching | 15:42 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 15:42 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | so now, since my pc goes blank after the "start up" page, will alternate help? | 15:43 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | yes | 15:43 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | alright | 15:43 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | is there any command i need to type in? | 15:43 |
| SiDi | mib_xbbk9uuh, the alternate CD's installer is just less sexy | 15:49 |
| SiDi | but there will be no "command" to type | 15:49 |
| SiDi | more likely your computer should run after the system. The normal CD sometimes has problems with specific hardware | 15:49 |
| SiDi | (and there are a LOT of different onboard graphics btw ;) ) | 15:50 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | less sexy. love the term. haha,anyway 1) will i need to do a format b4 installing? 2) alternate cd support more hardware? | 15:52 |
| SiDi | its not exactly that it supports more hardware. Some hardware has problems for running the liveCD graphically, but they work once it is installed | 15:54 |
| SiDi | I couldn't explain you the 'whys' exactly as i dont know them | 15:54 |
| SiDi | you'll need to burn the alternate cd's iso to a cd-rom and put it on the drive, exactly the same way you'd do for the normal CD | 15:55 |
| SiDi | and of course, you'll need free space on your disk, that will be partitioned by the installer | 15:55 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | i tried the normal ones.. its shows the menu. after i select the install xubuntu, it goes to the running hamster. then it goes blank. will the alternate work? haha. sorry for being such an irritant ^^ | 15:57 |
| === SoylentGrun is now known as gaurdro | ||
| SiDi | mib_xbbk9uuh, i dont know but it is worth trying :) | 16:12 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | mib_xbbk9uuh:I had similar problems and the alternate CD worked find for me | 16:14 |
| Slonkie | How do i make an dir writeable for an ftp user? | 16:36 |
| Slonkie | chmod +x 777 ? | 16:37 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | hello | 16:39 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | the extension to install is .deb? | 16:40 |
| Slonkie | what extension? | 16:40 |
| charlie-tca | to install ?? | 16:40 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | dri\/ers | 16:40 |
| SiDi | mib_xbbk9uuh, perdon ? .deb files are packages for either Debian or ubuntu, but i'd like you to let us know which .deb you're talking about | 16:41 |
| SiDi | Slonkie, 755 if you care about your FTP | 16:41 |
| Slonkie | What rights does that give, SiDi ? | 16:41 |
| Slonkie | It's just for internal use | 16:41 |
| SiDi | Slonkie, still :p | 16:41 |
| SiDi | 7 means right to read/write/pass through | 16:41 |
| SiDi | the first number is you, second is the group you're in, third is "all users" | 16:41 |
| Slonkie | so how do i do? do i just type sudo chmod +x 755 ? | 16:42 |
| SiDi | the 5 means read and pass | 16:42 |
| SiDi | but not write | 16:42 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL2.do | 16:42 |
| SiDi | chmod 755 nameoffolder | 16:42 |
| Slonkie | thanks. | 16:42 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | its the deb one rite? | 16:42 |
| SiDi | needa go Slonkie ask me later if you're in trouble ;) | 16:42 |
| SiDi | check his deb pls :P | 16:42 |
| Slonkie | heh have fun ;). | 16:42 |
| Slonkie | mib_xbbk9uuh sorry i can't read that language, but yes, you chould install a .deb in xubuntu | 16:43 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | kk | 16:43 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | so i ha\/e to install that | 16:44 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | haha | 16:44 |
| mib_xbbk9uuh | thaks | 16:44 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | how do i get flash player on the 9.04 ubuntu? | 17:00 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | xubuntu i mean | 17:00 |
| Slonkie | Personally i'm using the adobe-flashplugin from the repos. SImply type sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin in terminal or install it from the synaptics package manager | 17:01 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | where to type? | 17:02 |
| Slonkie | In the Terminal. | 17:02 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | where is tha? | 17:02 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | sory im super new | 17:02 |
| Slonkie | Use the synaptic | 17:03 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | i press application then? | 17:03 |
| Slonkie | It's in the Applications -> System | 17:03 |
| Slonkie | Then search for adobe-flashplugin | 17:03 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | application - system then? | 17:05 |
| Slonkie | synaptics | 17:05 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | k im in the synaptic package manager | 17:06 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | tjem? | 17:06 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | then | 17:06 |
| Slonkie | search... | 17:06 |
| Slonkie | <Slonkie> Then search for adobe-flashplugin | 17:06 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | cant find? | 17:07 |
| Slonkie | Well it's there | 17:08 |
| charlie-tca | mib_uly8m1fx: click the search button, not the quick search. Search for "adobe" | 17:09 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | mib_uly8m1fx: try the add/remove instead of synaptich, its an easier GUI, and search for flash | 17:09 |
| charlie-tca | or search for "flashplugin" | 17:09 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | though sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin from terminal will be your quickest solution | 17:09 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | is it suppose to lag!! hahaa. or is my system too useless? | 17:16 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | haha | 17:16 |
| mib_uly8m1fx | anyway. i still cant find the adobe | 17:17 |
| Mkop | where do I set what keyboard shortcut changes the keyboard layout I'm using? | 18:03 |
| ochosi | Mkop, you can set keyboard shortcuts in the menu > settings > keyboard > application shortcuts | 18:04 |
| Mkop | what command do I use to switch keyboard layout? | 18:05 |
| TheSheep | the keyboard switcher applet | 18:10 |
| TheSheep | on the panel | 18:10 |
| TheSheep | !layout | 18:11 |
| ubottu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts | 18:11 |
| === forces is now known as freego | ||
| ochosi | Mkop, if you're on xfce 4.6 (xubuntu 9.04) you can also use xfconf to do that | 18:16 |
| ochosi | Mkop, that way you could actually bind the keyboard-layout switching to a keyboard-shortcut without using the panel plugin | 18:16 |
| ochosi | Mkop, but the panel plugin is probably easier to hande, | 18:17 |
| ochosi | *handle | 18:17 |
| Mkop | yeah, I found the panel plugin and that works just fine | 18:17 |
| Mkop | also gives an easy way to know which layout I'm using at the moment | 18:18 |
| Mkop | and allows me to use different layouts per application, which is nice | 18:18 |
| Mkop | hmm, at some point I need to get the eject button on my CD drive working | 18:19 |
| zoredache | why do you think it doesn't work? | 18:20 |
| zoredache | are you trying to eject a mounted disk? You won't be allowed to do that | 18:20 |
| Mkop | I want the button to unmount and eject | 18:20 |
| zoredache | well good luck, I doubt it is possible though | 18:22 |

| SupahBoy | xubuntu | 21:20 |
| SupahBoy | oh sry | 21:20 |
| SupahBoy | hello | 21:20 |
| Slonkie | !hi | SupahBoy | 21:20 |
| ubottu | SupahBoy: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 21:20 |
| SupahBoy | thanks | 21:21 |
| SupahBoy | do you all have a couple of minutes to spare | 21:21 |
| SupahBoy | i have a bit of a problem | 21:21 |
| SupahBoy | =( | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | !question | SupahBoy | 21:22 |
| ubottu | SupahBoy: 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. :-) | 21:22 |
| SupahBoy | alright thanks, well i have a asus netbook 900ha 1.6ghz, 2gigs of ram , i have installed a lot of distros to find a fast one for my net book | 21:22 |
| SupahBoy | but none of them seem to be fast , they all seem to hang idk if im doing something wrong. ive seen videos on xubuntu on eee pcs on youtube and they run wicked fast | 21:23 |
| SupahBoy | i installed xubuntu on my 2nd partition and made a 3rd with 4 gigs of swap space (3.8 gigs actually) but it still runs really slow | 21:23 |
| Slonkie | Maybe you diden't install graphics card drivers? | 21:23 |
| Slonkie | My xubuntu seemed very slow too until i installed the drivers. | 21:24 |
| m45h | HI all | 21:24 |
| m45h | again in the wrong Ubuntu support channel | 21:25 |
| SupahBoy | yah i havent installed any drivers | 21:25 |
| Slonkie | Try that, SupahBoy. | 21:25 |
| Slonkie | Your specs seems more than good enough to run xubuntu above smootly i'd say. | 21:25 |
| SupahBoy | how would i go about doing that, maybe that can help me out | 21:26 |
| SupahBoy | how would i install that? | 21:28 |
| Slonkie | google lol :| | 21:29 |
| SupahBoy | sorry about that | 21:29 |
| SupahBoy | d/c | 21:29 |
| SupahBoy | how would i go about installing card drivers?' | 21:29 |
| SupahBoy | graphic card* | 21:29 |
| Slonkie | Try googling for a linux driver for your gfx | 21:30 |
| SupahBoy | gfx? | 21:31 |
| SupahBoy | you mean the xfce? | 21:31 |
| knome | graphic card | 21:31 |
| SupahBoy | oh ok | 21:31 |
| SupahBoy | now all i need is to figure out what graphics card i have | 21:31 |
| knome | SupahBoy, try system -> hardware drivers | 21:32 |
| knome | SupahBoy, it might know your GC already and propose a driver | 21:32 |
| Slonkie | I thought that one would popup automaticly, knome :/. | 21:32 |
| Slonkie | Atleast it did for me | 21:32 |
| knome | Slonkie, double-check is never bad | 21:33 |
| Slonkie | true | 21:33 |
| SupahBoy | knome? | 21:34 |
| knome | SupahBoy, yes? | 21:34 |
| knome | SupahBoy, check your menu: System -> Hardware Drivers | 21:34 |
| SupahBoy | ohhhh nothing xD | 21:34 |
| SupahBoy | i thought it was like gnome i didnt realize it was a user here | 21:35 |
| knome | yes, i am a user :P | 21:35 |
| Slonkie | lspci | grep VGA | 21:35 |
| Slonkie | Type in that SupahBoy, should give you an outline of what graphics card | 21:35 |
| SupahBoy | hmm i only get a alternate atheros "madwifi" driver | 21:35 |
| SupahBoy | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 21:37 |
| Slonkie | All i can say is, google is your friend. | 21:38 |
| Slonkie | hey SupahBoy | 21:46 |
| Slonkie | you there? | 21:46 |
| Slonkie | http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2886&OSFullName=Linux*&lang=eng&strOSs=39&submit=Go! | 21:47 |
| SupahBoy | oh yes sry | 21:53 |
| SupahBoy | thank you slonkie | 22:02 |
| Slonkie | did it work, SupahBoy ? | 22:16 |
| SupahBoy | i havent been able | 22:16 |
| SupahBoy | to download it | 22:16 |
| SupahBoy | x_x | 22:16 |
| Slonkie | hmm okay | 22:17 |
| SupahBoy | do i click where it says download types? | 22:17 |
| SupahBoy | will you give me a break i cant seem to find a download link | 22:19 |
| Slonkie | It seems to be a .exe | 22:20 |
| SupahBoy | you found it? | 22:21 |
| Slonkie | sorry I don't know how to get a linux driver for that graphics card | 22:21 |
| SupahBoy | oh | 22:21 |
| SupahBoy | what was the link you gave me? | 22:21 |
| Slonkie | You can download it here: but it's .exe: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strOSs=39&strTypes=all&ProductID=2886&OSFullName=Linux*&lang=eng&sType=prev | 22:22 |
| SiDi | Slonkie, did you try the SAME driver on your hardware before pointing it out ? ^_^ | 22:51 |
| Slonkie | no | 22:51 |
| SiDi | you should let the person find someone who did then | 22:51 |
| SiDi | because if she has a problem she'll hold you for responsible | 22:52 |
| SiDi | i already got shout at for that :p | 22:52 |
| Slonkie | it was windows drivers anyway :( | 22:52 |
| SiDi | heh :) | 22:52 |
| SiDi | just be careful, its actually better to help someone find help than to directly help when we dont know what we do at all | 22:52 |
| SiDi | dont take offense of it btw ;) | 22:53 |
| SiDi | i appreciate that you dont leave people without help at all | 22:53 |
| cody-somerville | SiDi, What are you getting on about? | 22:53 |
| SiDi | Talking about giving download links to people without checking if what they download actually works :p | 22:54 |
| cody-somerville | meh | 22:54 |
| Slonkie | oh well, i'd say Intel's official site is pretty trustable | 22:55 |
| SupahBoy | Slonkie: sry sudden leave | 23:23 |
