| unitxt | I like the feature of how irssi lets you go "Fullscreen(F11)" to switch windows. You simply use 'Alt-1...etc...' to switch between channels. Can you something similiar with Xterm? The only way I know how to switch between windows is to open a new tab, but that makes it where you still have the tabs present at the top of the screen. I'd like as much 'real estate' as possible... | 00:26 |

| TheSheep | unitxt: screen | 00:27 |
| unitxt | screen? | 00:27 |
| TheSheep | yes | 00:27 |
| unitxt | hmm, ok | 00:27 |
| TheSheep | http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/a-quick-tutorial-on-screen/ | 00:28 |
| unitxt | TheSheep: Thanks for the link! Excellent. I read that and hopefully all will go well. I use Vim and that would be a great feature as I use multiple files when editing. Thanks again, I'll go look and read this. | 00:31 |
| ron_o | wow, power keeps going out at me house and my UPS picks up on it 10 seconds before.. | 00:36 |
| ron_o | amazing. | 00:36 |
| TheSheep | unitxt: btw, you can open several files in vim | 00:39 |
| unitxt | TheSheep: I can open up several files at once in Vim w/o opening a new tab (in full screen mode) and switch between them? If that's the case then I wouldn't need to use screen as I am mainly want to use it to edit perl and html files via fullscreen mode. | 01:12 |
| unitxt | Still looking @ screen...I am doing something 'silly' as it's not working for me yet...I'll keep reading though... | 01:13 |

| TheSheep | unitxt: you can | 01:26 |
| TheSheep | unitxt: join #vim to meet some experts in the field :) | 01:26 |
| unitxt | TheSheep: thanks!...will do... | 01:28 |
| unitxt | TheSheep: Thanks, got screen working. Now I am able to switch between Vim files via 'C-a 0-9'. That'll do until I have the time to get Vim to do what 'screen' is going for me now...plus, with screen I can use other programs like Alpine and stuff so thanks again for the link...much appreciated. | 01:37 |
| TheSheep | unitxt: you also can detach it and leave running on a server overnight | 01:41 |
| Haffi_ | Hi, I just added an ethernet card to my computer, and I set a static ip on it with the built in network manager. I'm pretty sure I did everything correct but now only the older card works (which is still running with DHCP). | 01:43 |
| Haffi_ | The problem is that I when I go to the network manager now I can't find the setting I put in but it looks like it is still in effect, that is, the newer card still doesn't connect | 01:44 |
| Haffi_ | does the network manager change /etc/interfaces directly or is the configuration stored elsewhere? | 01:44 |
| TheSheep | I think it talks to the system directly through HAL | 01:46 |
| Saad_ | I am running Xubuntu 8.10 live CD and cannot manage to find a way to switch the interface language to Urdu. Any help? | 01:47 |
| === Saad_ is now known as Muhammad_Saad | ||
| === Muhammad_Saad is now known as M_Saad | ||
| unitxt | TheSheep: What? 0.o ...that sounds like something out of a Sci-Fi film (detach and leave it ruuning on a server)...I'll have to look into that later...sounds cool though. | 01:48 |
| M_Saad | I have got the Urdu translations of Xfce applications in /usr/share/locale but cannot manage to switch the interface to Urdu. Applications > System > Language Support does not help either. :( | 01:52 |
| TheSheep | M_Saad: you get an error? | 01:54 |
| TheSheep | M_Saad: note that if the translations are not complete, untranslated parts will stay English | 01:54 |
| M_Saad | I dont get an option for Urdu on the login screen. | 01:55 |
| M_Saad | I even installed all packages available for Urdu. Even though the translation of Xfce was already available in /usr/share/locale | 01:56 |
| TheSheep | M_Saad: maybe editing ~/.dmrc manually will help | 01:57 |
| TheSheep | M_Saad: select some other language at login, and change it in .dmrc to Urdu | 01:57 |
| M_Saad | What is the syntax? | 01:59 |
| TheSheep | M_Saad: I don't know, that's why I suggested to change it to some other language first | 02:00 |
| TheSheep | M_Saad: to see an example | 02:00 |
| M_Saad | OK | 02:00 |
| M_Saad | Thanks! It worked. | 02:04 |
| M_Saad | Another thing that looks a little unusual is that I keep getting the message that the new language settings will take effect after I log out. Even when I logged out more than one time. Finally I had to create a new user account to test. Is that because of the way the live CD handles stuff? | 02:06 |
| TheSheep | no idea | 02:06 |
| TheSheep | I suppose they show that message each time you change anything | 02:07 |
| M_Saad | The "live session user" account is not listed among others in "Users and Groups". May be it starts fresh each time. :-/ | 02:08 |
| Procrasticus | Y'ello | 02:26 |

| Procrasticus | It seems the users here are rather... inactive | 02:35 |
| Procrasticus | I'd help you, Pato, but I'm completely new to Xubuntu. I've got problems of my own! | 02:36 |
| Pato | <Procrasticus> ok, i'm also new to xubuntu, any help is welcomed | 02:37 |

| Carlis | Hi I had 2 dictionary in Office folder. I could hide 1 dictionary adding NoDisplay=true and now How do i hide or remove the another dictionay that it´s in Office folder ? | 03:56 |
| TheSheep | same way | 03:59 |
| Carlis | wait | 04:00 |
| TheSheep | you can probably find which file it is by running 'grep -i dictionary /usr/share/applications/*' in a terminal | 04:01 |
| Carlis | TheSheep | 04:12 |
| Carlis | ? | 04:13 |
| Carlis | TheSheep ??? | 04:17 |

| Carlis | In this pc I don`t have dictionary in the office folder. In this computer I have AbiWord | 04:19 |
| Carlis | I do this in terminal: grep -i abiword /usr/share/applications and I don`t see any result | 04:23 |

| Carlis | It`s worked thesheep but there are many AbiWord | 04:41 |
| Carlis | TheSheep ?? | 04:43 |
| TheSheep | Carlis: at least you only have few files to chec know | 04:44 |
| Carlis | to check ??? | 04:45 |
| Carlis | Can u explain me a little bit more TheSheep ?? | 04:50 |
| Carlis | I don`t knwo what do i have to check. There many AbiWord. Which one do i have to check ??? | 04:51 |
| TheSheep | Carlis: it shows you the names of the files before the : | 04:53 |
| Carlis | wait | 04:59 |
| Carlis | In AbiWord I have added: NoDisplay=true and don`t hide the AbiWord in Office folder why TheShepp ? | 05:02 |
| Carlis | I already understood TheSheep | 05:34 |

| ushimitsudoki | For some reason, VirtualBox starts up automatically everytime. I can not find where this is coming from - I have checked the settings GUI, ~/.config/autostart, how can I track down why this is happening? | 08:01 |
| TheSheep | ushimitsudoki: delete ~/.cache/sessions | 08:15 |
| ushimitsudoki | TheSheep: alright I will give it a try! | 08:16 |
| TheSheep | and make sure you disable the 'save session' checkbox when logging out | 08:16 |
| ushimitsudoki | TheSheep: A winner is you! :) Thanks! | 08:17 |
| TheSheep | and make sure you disable the 'save session' checkbox when logging out | 08:17 |
| ushimitsudoki | Cool - I did that, but I must have had an old saved session or something in there from a while back. One step closer to XFCE perfection! | 08:18 |
| TheSheep | ushimitsudoki: ssessions are somewhat obnoxious | 08:20 |
| ushimitsudoki | TheSheep: I don't have a need for them, but I suppose some people do. I never came across that .cache directory in all my searching about autostarting programs and sessions, though I understand it now that it has been pointed out to me | 08:21 |

| marli | huh? | 12:45 |
| knome | if it fails fetching | 12:48 |
| knome | it might be trying to use anoter internet connection for apt.- | 12:48 |

| vinnl | It appears to have been available, judging by http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.10_p3 | 13:05 |
| vinnl | Ah wait | 13:05 |
| vinnl | Of course, 6.10 isn't supported anymore because it's that old | 13:06 |
| vinnl | Why are you running such an aging version? | 13:06 |
| marli | because its the ONLY distro i could get to install and that took 5 days | 14:03 |

| MalfermitaKodo | I can playback sound but not record something | 19:05 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I tried to install the most recent ALSA as was recommended in the Ubuntu Wiki | 19:06 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I tried to set the right option in modprobe.d/options, but no success | 19:07 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, have you un-muted the mic in xfce-mixer? | 19:07 |
| MalfermitaKodo | in Aslamixer | 19:07 |
| MalfermitaKodo | *alsamixer | 19:07 |

| basajaun | how can I re-install network manager from cd? | 19:09 |
| MalfermitaKodo | vidd: I am on 8.10 | 19:09 |
| MalfermitaKodo | and I do not understand xfce4-mixer | 19:10 |
| MalfermitaKodo | it does not seem to be muted | 19:10 |
| vidd | basajaun, first, edit your sources to only look at the cd | 19:10 |
| vidd | then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install [insert program name here] | 19:10 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, since you are using 8.10, disregard that comment | 19:11 |
| basajaun | ok vidd thanks will try I just sabotaged my wife's laptop connection.... so | 19:11 |
| SiDi | MalfermitaKodo, did you read the page about HDA intel ? | 19:12 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I read the aspire one page | 19:12 |
| vidd | basajaun, install wicd .... its better then NM IMO | 19:12 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, in xfce4-mixer.... | 19:13 |
| vidd | show the switches.... | 19:13 |
| vidd | what does "Mic Select" say? | 19:13 |
| SiDi | MalfermitaKodo, what kind of aspire ? | 19:13 |
| vidd | SiDi, he has the aspire one netbook | 19:14 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Model ZGS | 19:14 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, what does the mic select say? | 19:14 |
| MalfermitaKodo | It only shows Front Mic | 19:14 |
| basajaun | vidd sorry? | 19:15 |
| SiDi | MalfermitaKodo, hm got no data on this | 19:15 |
| basajaun | do not uderstand wicd? | 19:15 |
| SiDi | still, check the HDA intel page MalfermitaKodo its a good tutorial for sound and laptops | 19:15 |
| SiDi | basajaun, mind retelling what your problem is please ? | 19:15 |
| vidd | basajaun, there is an application "wicd" that is a much better (In My Opinion) application for network management then Network Manager | 19:15 |
| MalfermitaKodo | SiDi: Link? | 19:16 |
| SiDi | !hda | 19:17 |

| SiDi | !intel hda | 19:17 |

| SiDi | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 19:17 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, when you right-click the panel app for the volume control....select properties....what does it say in "Device"? | 19:18 |
| MalfermitaKodo | default | 19:20 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, THAT is the cause of your issue | 19:21 |
| vidd | hit that drop down and select your equiptment! | 19:21 |
| MalfermitaKodo | how does that change anything? it still shows the same controls at the same levels | 19:22 |
| vidd | the controls are now controling your hardware...instead of virtual hardware | 19:22 |
| MalfermitaKodo | the switches for the input source still have the same option: Front Mic | 19:22 |
| MalfermitaKodo | errr, playbacck works as does controlling the sound | 19:23 |
| vidd | is your mic working? | 19:23 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, there should be 2 mic sources... | 19:24 |
| vidd | "front mic" is the mic built into your webcam (if you have one) | 19:24 |
| MalfermitaKodo | vidd: There aren't 2 sources, just one | 19:25 |
| vidd | and you should have a second mic source....from the mic plug | 19:25 |
| MalfermitaKodo | and, no, no success | 19:25 |
| vidd | when you hit the drop-down....what was the second option>? | 19:25 |
| MalfermitaKodo | which one? | 19:25 |
| basajaun | vidd it doesn't work | 19:25 |
| vidd | for "Device" | 19:25 |
| vidd | basajaun, what does not work? | 19:26 |
| MalfermitaKodo | #0: HDA Intel | 19:26 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, what line did you add to the file? | 19:26 |
| basajaun | just the cd as source and apt-get update nessage is couldn't resolve security.ubuntu.com | 19:27 |
| MalfermitaKodo | to modprobe.d/options ? | 19:28 |
| MalfermitaKodo | "options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire" | 19:28 |
| vidd | basajaun, did you open /etc/apt/sources.lst? | 19:29 |
| SiDi | honnestly | 19:29 |

| SiDi | its imo the main hardware compatibility issue at the moment | 19:29 |
| basajaun | no | 19:29 |
| MalfermitaKodo | SiDi: neither does an external one | 19:29 |
| vidd | basajaun, that is why | 19:29 |
| SiDi | thats more annoying :) | 19:29 |
| vidd | you need to add # to the front of every line except the cd | 19:30 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I want to be able to use Voip to call my parents when I'll be in England | 19:30 |
| basajaun | ok vidd | 19:30 |
| basajaun | etc doesn contain reference to cd although I have it in sofware sources | 19:38 |
| basajaun | vidd no ref to cd in source list.d | 19:42 |
| MalfermitaKodo | add one? | 19:42 |
| basajaun | syntax? | 19:43 |
| MalfermitaKodo | just a sec | 19:43 |
| MalfermitaKodo | This is what mine says: deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)]/ hardy main restricted | 19:44 |
| basajaun | ok thanks | 19:45 |
| * MalfermitaKodo tried to upgrade alsa-utils and got an error during make: /bin/bash: xmlto: command not found | 19:47 | |
| basajaun | software sources says installable from cd rom blabla but it still doesn work | 19:47 |
| vidd | basajaun, then do this: | 19:48 |
| vidd | get the .deb file and install it that way | 19:49 |
| MalfermitaKodo | fooo! | 19:49 |
| vidd | this is why i recommended wicd b4 | 19:49 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I just realized... why does my xubuntu say it is a 8.04? | 19:49 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, the cd rom in your sources? | 19:50 |
| MalfermitaKodo | yeah | 19:50 |
| vidd | because that was the cd you installed from | 19:50 |
| vidd | heh...mine says "dapper" | 19:50 |
| vidd | (thats 6.06) | 19:51 |
| MalfermitaKodo | ah | 19:51 |
| vidd | the rest of your sources SHOULD say "intrepid" | 19:51 |
| basajaun | but vidd I can connect to the net from the other machine and therefore can not get the file unless I download apackage from ny macine | 19:52 |
| vidd | you cant download the file, put it on a usb drive and bring it to the crippled machine? | 19:52 |
| vidd | basajaun, belay that.... | 19:53 |
| vidd | how does that machine connect to the internet? wired or wireless? | 19:53 |
| basajaun | the crippled one is on wireless mine is on wire | 19:54 |
| vidd | basajaun, can you get that other machine wired? | 19:54 |
| basajaun | I just need to find the package | 19:54 |
| basajaun | but network manager will still be missing....even if I wire the poor thing | 19:55 |
| vidd | basajaun, if you wire the poor thing, you hard-code it to connect | 19:56 |
| MalfermitaKodo | fooooo! | 19:56 |
| Slonkie | you can connect to the network trough terminal if you want | 19:56 |
| MalfermitaKodo | and another failed dependency for compilation | 19:56 |
| * MalfermitaKodo feels like in the 'good' old S.u.S.E. 6.0 era | 19:56 | |
| vidd | basajaun, does your /etc/network/interfaces file look like http://pastebin.com/d69c36dd2 | 20:00 |
| vidd | (on the crippled machine) | 20:00 |
| MalfermitaKodo | bbl | 20:01 |
| basajaun | Hard-code? | 20:05 |
| basajaun | hell nothing works | 20:05 |
| vidd | did you look at my link and compare your file to mine? | 20:06 |
| MalfermitaKodo | <long string of ASCII characters> | 20:07 |
| basajaun | just a min vidd | 20:07 |
| MalfermitaKodo | alas, even upgrading alsa-util and alsa-lib didn't work | 20:07 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, should got a ubuntu-based netbook from dell =] | 20:08 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Dell? /me restrains self from comment | 20:09 |
| vidd | have you considered restoring it, taking it back and getting a linux-freindly device? =] | 20:09 |
| MalfermitaKodo | no, since I bought her in November | 20:10 |
| MalfermitaKodo | and it ran Linux originally | 20:10 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, if it ran linux originally...what's the issue? | 20:10 |
| vidd | (or should i say WHICH linux did it run originally) | 20:11 |
| MalfermitaKodo | This crappy restricted one... it didn't even let me use an acceptable terminal | 20:11 |
| MalfermitaKodo | no idea how it is called | 20:12 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I repressed every memory of the horrible 30 minutes with it which Xubuntu took to download | 20:12 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, i KNOW this is going to sound evil and make you cringe.... | 20:13 |
| vidd | did the mic work then? | 20:13 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I didn't try it | 20:14 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I couldn't actually use that one well since all fonts were unreadably small | 20:14 |
| MalfermitaKodo | (for a visually impaired Malfy) | 20:15 |
| MalfermitaKodo | wait... let me get its installation CD | 20:15 |
| vidd | did it come with a "restore" disk? | 20:15 |
| th0r | can xfce display files that are saved on the desktop (in ~/Desktop)? | 20:16 |
| vidd | th0r, of cource | 20:16 |
| th0r | that is...can it display icons on the screen for them | 20:16 |
| vidd | yes | 20:16 |
| vidd | that is the default setting | 20:16 |
| th0r | vidd: somehow I have lost that and would like to get it back. Any idea where I might have screwed it up? | 20:17 |
| MalfermitaKodo | vidd: yes, but I can't seem to find it | 20:17 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, try dl'ing it from thier site | 20:17 |
| vidd | they might have some proprietary diver | 20:17 |
| vidd | th0r, you have files located in /hom/[user]/Desktop and there are no icons on the screen? | 20:18 |
| th0r | vidd: just found it.... | 20:18 |
| MalfermitaKodo | errr... but.... you do not want me to actually restore it?!?!?! | 20:18 |
| th0r | vidd: under applications-settings-desktop...the icons tab. | 20:19 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, no...if there is a custom proprietary driver, install JUST THE DRIVER | 20:19 |
| vidd | th0r, so...to answer my question above....no? | 20:19 |
| th0r | vidd: right...I had files in the Desktop folder but they did not show on the desktop. | 20:20 |
| th0r | vidd: don't know how they got turned off....and searching google the past hour or so has been an exercise in frustration <smile> | 20:20 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Okay, the Linux is called Linpus Lite | 20:21 |
| th0r | vidd: I found how to turn on/off the trashbin, home, file system, but not the files in Desktop | 20:21 |
| vidd | th0r, "rm ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/iconscreen0.rc" | 20:21 |
| vidd | then log out (dont save settings) and log back in | 20:22 |
| basajaun | vidd many thanks wired it connected downloaded and it connect you saved me from a spell in the dog house lol | 20:22 |
| vidd | hehe...no problem | 20:22 |
| basajaun | MalfermitaKodo, thanks | 20:22 |
| basajaun | bye folks | 20:22 |
| MalfermitaKodo | goodbye! | 20:22 |
| vidd | basajaun, most times, eth0 is hard coded (like my pastebin) and is therefore not controled by NM at all | 20:23 |
| MalfermitaKodo | gah! Can I please hunt down whoever designed the Linpus site and cut off his hands so he won't repeat his crimes?! | 20:25 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, unfortunantly...NO...we need him to work on the new M$ Windows 7 site! | 20:25 |
| vidd | =] | 20:26 |
| MalfermitaKodo | :) | 20:26 |
| MalfermitaKodo | lol* | 20:26 |
| MalfermitaKodo | but... bad webdesigners sem to grow on trees | 20:26 |
| vidd | no...there are not that many trees left anymore! | 20:27 |
| MalfermitaKodo | good point | 20:27 |
| MalfermitaKodo | well, I don't see anything about the drivers Linpus uses | 20:28 |
| vidd | then you might need to restore it =[ | 20:28 |
| MalfermitaKodo | nooooooooooooooooo! | 20:29 |
| vidd | wait...did you go to the limpus site? or to acer's site?!? | 20:29 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Linpus | 20:29 |
| vidd | no! go to ACER's site | 20:29 |
| vidd | THEY would have the drivers | 20:29 |
| MalfermitaKodo | no | 20:31 |
| MalfermitaKodo | they just have flash | 20:31 |
| MalfermitaKodo | seriously has no one ever heard of accessable websites anymore? | 20:32 |
| vidd | mystery-meat navigation is all the rage now! | 20:32 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I want my Web 0.7 back! | 20:33 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Can't we uninvent flash and the IMG tag?! | 20:33 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, which acer1? | 20:34 |
| MalfermitaKodo | ZGS | 20:34 |
| vidd | hrm...thats not an option | 20:35 |
| MalfermitaKodo | that is what it says as model name on the backside of it | 20:35 |
| MalfermitaKodo | 8.9" screen | 20:35 |
| Slonkie | Isen't it just Acer Aspire One ? | 20:35 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Slonkie: there are different versions | 20:35 |
| Slonkie | oh sorry | 20:35 |
| MalfermitaKodo | let me find the marketing term | 20:36 |
| vidd | Slonkie, you made a funny! =] | 20:36 |
| MalfermitaKodo | the model with 8.9" screen and 8 GB SSD | 20:38 |
| vidd | hrm | 20:38 |
| MalfermitaKodo | somewhat deprecated, I guess | 20:39 |
| S0210 | I put the "switch user" icon on the panel but the result is strange. If I change the user the hotkeys are dead... is it only in my case? Does anybody have similar problem? | 20:45 |
| vidd | S0210, did you customize the hotkeys? | 20:47 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I am actually considering to dis-upgrade | 20:47 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, i would | 20:47 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, 9.04 has better hardware support for newer equiptment | 20:48 |
| MalfermitaKodo | *dist | 20:48 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, i knew what ya ment =] | 20:48 |
| MalfermitaKodo | and why does it tell me that a new distro called 8.10 is available... did I only dist-upgrade sydi, not her?! | 20:49 |
| S0210 | vidd: yes but not even Alt-F2 works... | 20:50 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, sounds like you "dist-upgrade" b4....but did not system upgrade | 20:50 |
| vidd | S0210, does alt-f2 work in 9.04? | 20:50 |
| vidd | S0210, copy the .file to the new user, and see if that helps any | 20:51 |
| S0210 | vidd: I mean the don't work if I switch user2... but if I log out from user1 and log in to user2 then it's fine | 20:51 |
| MalfermitaKodo | and in other news... apparently there is no agreed-on term for distribution in Esperanto | 20:52 |
| vidd | then check launchpad to see if a bug is filed.... | 20:52 |
| vidd | if not, file one | 20:52 |
| MalfermitaKodo | oh... and it tells me that I need much more diskspace for that | 20:52 |
| MalfermitaKodo | :eep: | 20:52 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, dunno | 20:53 |
| vidd | but if your running hardy, you will want to upgrade twice | 20:53 |
| MalfermitaKodo | I first need to free >1 GB diskspace | 20:55 |
| MalfermitaKodo | :o | 20:55 |
| S0210 | re | 20:56 |
| vidd | then check launchpad to see if a bug is filed.... | 20:56 |
| vidd | if not, file one | 20:56 |
| vidd | S0210, ^^ | 20:56 |
| S0210 | OK :-] | 20:56 |
| vidd | this printing only 15 pages at a time is for the birds =\ | 20:58 |
| MalfermitaKodo | is there a way to deinstall all packages which were installed as dependency but are no longer used | 20:59 |
| vidd | MalfermitaKodo, yes | 21:00 |
| vidd | sudo apt-get autoremove --purge | 21:00 |
| MalfermitaKodo | ty! | 21:00 |
| vidd | and if you want to remove application "foo", with its config files, and its dependencies, and thier config files.... | 21:01 |
| vidd | sudo apt-get remove --purge foo | 21:01 |
| vidd | woops | 21:01 |
| vidd | replace "remove" with "autoremove" | 21:01 |
| MalfermitaKodo | ah ty | 21:01 |

| MalfermitaKodo | I have not heard of a Xubuntu server edition | 21:14 |
| vidd | asdf-, all the *buntu's use ubuntu server as a server edition..... | 21:18 |
| vidd | by default the server edition does not come with a window manager | 21:18 |
| asdf- | vidd, thanks | 21:19 |
