nick_I just installed xubuntu jaunty and am having something strange going on.03:58
nick_I was noticing a lack of things in the repos, so I looked at my sources.list.03:58
nick_A bunch of the repos were listed with cl.archive.ubuntu.com instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com.03:59
nick_And I was failing to get lists from them.03:59
nick_I changed them in sources.list.03:59
nick_And thought that I got all of them.03:59
nick_But when I sudo aptitude update, it still has some cl sources and they go really slow.04:00
nick_also, the cl sources are marked as Translation-en_US.04:00
nick_I don't know where else to look for a source list04:00
nick_And these are communicating with me at <1kbps.04:01
nick_Any ideas?04:02
cody-somervillenick_, Open applications > system > software sources04:02
cody-somervilleand change your mirror04:03
nick_:?04:04
nick_I'm an idiot.04:04
nick_Thanks.04:04
pteaguehow's xubuntu wireless support in jaunty?05:50
forcesis the same from ubuntu05:50
pteaguei ended up with a mac powerbook pro & i'm afraid the only way to save it is to put linux on it ;)05:51
forcesdont be afraid05:53
forcesthat is a good new05:53
forces:D05:53
pteaguehehe - exactly!  i'm just hoping i can set up the touchpad the same way...  otherwise no right click will suck >.>05:54
pteaguevirtualbox crashed on me tonight cause the mac ran out of memory...  terminal was using over 20mb of ram... wtf?05:55
psycho_oreospteague, depending on chipset06:51
pteagueintel, just got the other day at the apple store07:14
pteaguei couldn't help it... i walked in, the guy took my wallet & emptied it of paper & plastic... next thing i knew i was walking out of the store with something in my hand wondering wtf happened...  j/k07:15
forceshow can I install xfce 4.6.1?07:16
psycho_oreospteague, yeah its supported with a native driver but proprietary microcode07:16
psycho_oreosI'm surprised they've changed the chipset yet again07:17
pteaguei noticed something annoying with the security settings on the mac so i'm having fun running nmap while xubuntu torrent downloads07:24
pteaguentp, ipp, & zeroconf are only ports nmap found that were interesting08:12
intokhow well will xubuntu run on a P4 celeron 2.4Ghz, 384Mb of DDR 266, nvidia quadro4 980XGL AGP card?09:47
ablomenshould be pretty quick, though you might want to add a bit more ram to it09:54
ablomenthat will help if you run a lot of applications at the same time09:55
intokyah the quadro4 is basically the same as the geforce 4 ti 480010:01
ablomenyou should check though to see if what nvidia drivers support that card10:03
ablomenah the nvidia-glx-71 drivers do, ok so that should be no problem :)10:05

ablomengeremy, if you download them from sites like xfce-look, you can extract them in ~/.themes (and icons in ~/.icons), and there might also be some extra themes in the repositories10:28

charlie-tcaAlgyz: Is that in Xubunt? I think maybe #mythbuntu might know, since they do deal with video and audio more than Xubuntu.19:45
