| th0r | they certainly don't make it easy to file a bug | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | what's wrong? | 00:02 |
| vinnl | !bugs | 00:02 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 00:02 |
| th0r | yeah...I am in launchpad...after trying ubuntu-bug and apport <smile>. Finally where I need to be (I think) | 00:04 |
| vinnl | Yeah when I started reporting I had a hard time understanding that Launchpad was for more than Ubuntu. And that you need to report it against Ubuntu, and to a specific package | 00:05 |
| th0r | yeah, not a problem but it would be easier if they just said 'Run these commands and paste the output here' | 00:14 |
| th0r | and now that I have clicked on Submit it is just sitting there loading <smile> | 00:15 |
| th0r | maybe I need to file a bug about the bug reporting system <smile> | 00:15 |
| vinnl | Well there is the possibility, Launchpad is a Launchpadproject as well :P | 00:16 |
| th0r | firefox says it is waiting on launchpad.net....so..... | 00:16 |
| th0r | been a little disappointed in jaunty...too many of these sort of 'rough edges' | 00:17 |
| vinnl | Yeah well, xfmedia is basically dead | 00:17 |
| th0r | vinnl: I'm not really concerned about xfmedia...use audacious and it works fine for me. But if it is dead take it out of the repos then it won't be an issue | 00:18 |
| th0r | the latest kernel update killed my internal wifi card...which worked out of the box at install. | 00:19 |
| vinnl | Yeah but still, it's in universe, and if nobody uses it nobody reports bugs ;) | 00:19 |
| vinnl | Hmm yeah that sucks | 00:19 |
| th0r | and my external wifi, an atheros chip that should be supported, wouldn't work...had to revert to ndiswrapper to use it. | 00:20 |
| th0r | just too many little headaches like these | 00:20 |

| DJNomad | hey all I need guidance ,I am helping a friend install xubuntu alongside with vista | 03:33 |
| DJNomad | he has no disks so I have him installing daemon tools right now | 03:33 |
| artistxe | holy &h*t ! OpenShot installer has been building/configuring for last 25 minutes ! | 03:34 |
| * artistxe just wanted to check it out . . . | 03:34 | |
| artistxe | hmmm . watch it not work | 03:35 |
| artistxe | DJNomad, just curious. he NEEDS to keep Vista ? | 03:36 |
| DJNomad | he wants to keep it | 03:36 |
| DJNomad | he is a new convert | 03:36 |
| DJNomad | I dunno he says he cant find where the xubuntu image went or the daemon tools lol | 03:37 |
| artistxe | read slashdot article referring to it as Microsoft's worst mistake . but anyway | 03:37 |
| DJNomad | think he is playing dumb cause he is scared but that isn't his way so prolly not | 03:37 |
| DJNomad | I have tried xubuntu off and on for 2 years and finally i understand it | 03:38 |
| artistxe | to be honest . I installed from booting disk | 03:38 |
| DJNomad | he found it | 03:38 |
| DJNomad | artistxe, yeah me too but you can mount the image in windoz and install from inside it | 03:39 |
| artistxe | I promote it :D | 03:39 |
| artistxe | oh. hmm. have not a clue on that one. you can mount as in a virtual disk ? | 03:39 |
| DJNomad | yes artistxe | 03:40 |
| DJNomad | i think ubuntu uses wubi or something like that to install inside doz | 03:40 |
| artistxe | oooh. wubi install is not a great idea. | 03:40 |
| artistxe | runs much faster as permaneent install | 03:41 |
| DJNomad | artistxe, thats only option for him with no disk | 03:41 |
| DJNomad | wubi is permanant install | 03:41 |
| artistxe | probably true. then again. not sure | 03:41 |
| DJNomad | or what i am talking about is fast | 03:41 |
| artistxe | no . not the same thing | 03:41 |
| DJNomad | you are refering to live cd? | 03:41 |
| artistxe | live cd is also slow | 03:42 |
| DJNomad | very lol | 03:42 |
| zesss | how can i edit my xorg.conf file when i do its blank in terminal but there and wont alow me to save it in the file system | 03:43 |
| artistxe | will not allow you to save because it does not have permission | 03:44 |
| artistxe | sudo gedit . or mousepad ( or whatever editor you use ) | 03:45 |
| zesss | how do i give it permision | 03:46 |
| DJNomad | if I install another file manager like nautilus will it slow my pc too much when not browsing files?> | 03:46 |
| DJNomad | I am using only xfce things that came with it thus far | 03:47 |
| DJNomad | zesss the best way i know of is how they said | 03:47 |
| DJNomad | thunar dont have a open as root option | 03:48 |
| auntieNeo | DJNomad: things that you install and don't use won't slow your computer down at all | 03:48 |
| auntieNeo | they will only fill up your hard disk | 03:48 |
| DJNomad | thanks auntieNeo I like nautilus much better | 03:48 |
| DJNomad | you can open as root in it | 03:49 |
| DJNomad | and in thunar I had to go through a process for it to automount my 2nd hdd | 03:49 |
| DJNomad | whats everyones choice filemanager? | 03:52 |
| artistxe | Thunar | 03:52 |
| DJNomad | im trying to stay away from memory intense things | 03:53 |
| DJNomad | artistxe, is there addons for it that are cool? | 03:53 |
| DJNomad | brb gotta go fer few 30 maybe | 03:54 |
| artistxe | have not found a need for any addons . is fine for my purposes , but then. . . I like to use terminal | 03:55 |

| bjangles | I have a thinkpad t20 with 10GB HD/128MB RAM/700MHz PIII, is 128MB RAM enough? | 07:15 |
| bjangles | it takes about 5 minutes just to load the desktop | 07:15 |
| bjangles | I'm wondering if it's an incompatibility with the graphics chipset | 07:16 |
| bjangles | I can't see where to disable desktop effects | 07:16 |
| bjangles | I installed using the alternate CD for latest 9.10 distro | 07:16 |
| schpoorky | After all this and other troubles, I have to wonder what's so great about Linux | 07:20 |
| schpoorky | Windows crashed no more often than Xubuntu has | 07:20 |
| schpoorky | and at least I could find drivers | 07:21 |
| schpoorky | I thought Linux wasn't going to freeze just because, say, firefox crashed | 07:23 |
| bjangles | so anyone know if 128mb is not enough for latest xubuntu? | 07:24 |
| bjangles | 128mb ram | 07:24 |
| bjangles | xubuntu recommends 256mb ram but says it will run with 128mb, just how slow will it be with 128? | 07:38 |
| bjangles | I have a thinkpad t20/PIII 700MHz | 07:38 |
| bjangles | it takes like 6 minutes to get to the desktop | 07:38 |
| bjangles | then everything is really dog slow | 07:38 |
| bjangles | I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue, maybe with the graphics chipset | 07:39 |
| bjangles | or if it's just because there's not enough memory | 07:39 |

| anish | Can anyone help me please? | 10:08 |
| Araneidae | Oops | 10:09 |
| Araneidae | My guess is, if you ran your system with that partition as a swap partition, then it's gone for good. | 10:17 |

| nurbs | in other term how could i set the drag&drop to act like a "cut from desktop, paste into folder" ? | 10:56 |
| nurbs | and not "copy from desktop, paste into folder" | 10:57 |

| vidd | how do i create an auto-started application in 9.04? | 14:08 |
| vinnl | vidd, there should be an application for that in the settings manager | 14:08 |
| vinnl | I believe xfce4-autostart-editor | 14:09 |
| knome | vidd, "Session and startup" | 14:09 |
| vinnl | Oh >.< | 14:09 |
| vinnl | So much for my memory | 14:09 |
| vidd | no..not in 9.04 | 14:09 |
| vidd | it was there in 8.10 | 14:09 |
| knome | vidd, yes..yes in 9.04. | 14:10 |
| vidd | there it is | 14:10 |
| vidd | its been moved | 14:10 |
| vidd | y'all need to quit hiding stuff =] | 14:10 |
| knome | you need to get new eyeglasses | 14:11 |
| vidd | in the past there was an entry on the menu system for autostart applications | 14:11 |
| knome | yes there was. | 14:12 |
| vidd | (i started from dapper and dist-upgraded ever since, so i dont recall when) | 14:12 |
| vidd | and i did a clean install and it was gone | 14:12 |
| vidd | any chance we can get that back? | 14:13 |
| knome | why should we? | 14:13 |
| knome | i think its current place is justified | 14:14 |
| knome | and logical | 14:14 |
| vidd | well there's all the yammering about we have to add this crapp and that crap for "ease of use" | 14:14 |
| vinnl | vidd, you can create a .desktop file yourself | 14:14 |
| vidd | im sure if i knew how i would | 14:15 |
| vinnl | vidd, just copy an existing file, and edit the command and the name sections, I'm sure you can figure it out | 14:15 |
| vidd | but the "ease of use" vs. "keep it lightweight" sides with "ease of use" | 14:16 |
| vinnl | What's this got to do with keeping it lightweight? | 14:16 |
| vidd | this isnt the place for this discussion | 14:17 |
| vidd | thank you for the answer | 14:17 |

| anonmatir | guys! if i download xubuntu 9.04 and burn it.. will i be able to empty the NTFS voulme, and then load xubuntu ther? | 18:39 |
| vinnl | anonmatir, I think you can also empty the NTFS volume from the LiveCD and then install Xubuntu there | 18:40 |
| anonmatir | Xubuntu live ? | 18:40 |
| vinnl | !livecd | 18:40 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 18:40 |
| anonmatir | Ubuntu Desktop CD is both live and installable ? | 18:41 |
| anonmatir | hmm | 18:41 |
| vinnl | Yeah | 18:41 |
| vinnl | And so is the Xubuntu Desktop CD :) | 18:41 |
| anonmatir | hmm. i have a amd semopro 2800+ with 256mb ddr1.. what would u suggest .. xubuntu or normal ? | 18:42 |
| vinnl | If you mean Ubuntu by normal, then not that | 18:42 |
| anonmatir | hehe yeh.. | 18:42 |
| vinnl | You could run Xubuntu but it will be slow, of course | 18:42 |
| anonmatir | slower than xp ? | 18:42 |
| anonmatir | i think i read xubuntu had a requirment of 128mb | 18:43 |
| vinnl | anonmatir, 192MB, see http://xubuntu.org/get#requirements | 18:43 |
| vinnl | Not sure if it would be slower than XP, but I don't think so | 18:44 |
| vinnl | Definitely not if you also had a virus scan and stuff running in XP | 18:44 |
| anonmatir | thats a duifferent thing.. hmm .. thanx dude.. | 18:45 |

| CRM | Can I install Xubuntu on a machine with 128 MB RAM, and would I in that case need the Alternate Install CD ? | 22:43 |
| SiDi | CRM: you definately will need the Alternate CD | 22:50 |
| SiDi | And it can run, but once it's installed i advise you to disable the update notifier and hardware notifier to gain some RAM (in Apps -> Parameters -> Session & boot) | 22:51 |
| SiDi | Also, use the 32bit CD and put 500 megs of swap :) | 22:51 |
| SiDi | jimisrvrox: its probably just networkmanager having trouble to refresh then | 22:57 |
| SiDi | Did you try to connect to an invisible access point, and to put the SSID of your network in it ? | 22:58 |
| jimisrvrox | tried that.. | 22:58 |
| jimisrvrox | Access Point: not-associated ESSID: "" | 22:58 |
| jimisrvrox | is what I get | 22:58 |
| SiDi | jimisrvrox: sorry but i _really_ don't remember how to connect to networks in command line :/ | 22:59 |
| jimisrvrox | yeah me neither | 22:59 |
| CRM | Would I be better off with Puppylinux ? | 22:59 |
| SiDi | iwconfig wlan0 essid <yourESSID> mode managed ap 00:03:52:AE:FE:A0 | 22:59 |
| SiDi | jimisrvrox: i think its something like that, and the mac address of the SSID in the end, this should force it to associate | 23:00 |
| SiDi | CRM: i never tried it. If you want a desktop distro that you can use without sacrifying usability then i think Xubuntu is what you need | 23:00 |
| SiDi | CRM: but if you feel its really too heavy then a very very lightweight distro with LXDE / Flux / openbox is what you need | 23:00 |
| jimisrvrox | right SiDi I get that part but ESSID gives me "" instead of my ssid and AP is not-associated | 23:01 |
| SiDi | jimisrvrox: i think you need to turn wlan0 down, then type this, then turn it on, and then iwconfig should show it associated | 23:01 |
| CRM | SiDi : Im running Xubuntu here with 850 MHz / 256 MB RAM, but Im not sure if Xubuntu would do well on a system with only 128 MB RAM ? | 23:02 |
| Cyber_Akuma-SUSE | small chan | 23:02 |
| SiDi | CRM: our QA manager makes it run on a 128 MB ram machine, so yes it works :) but of course, the weaker the machine, the slower it is. | 23:02 |
| Cyber_Akuma-SUSE | So, I typically use Xubuntu as an emergency/recovery disk. | 23:03 |
| CRM | SiDi : Do I need to change something, or will it just work like normal even if I have only 128 MB RAM? | 23:03 |
| SiDi | CRM: it will work. But as i said above, disabling the daemons and services you dont need will offer you a few extra megs of ram | 23:03 |
| Cyber_Akuma-SUSE | I have an install of OpenSUSE I want to backup, to an image file, not clone it to another partition, is that possible with a Xubuntu livecd? | 23:03 |
| Cyber_Akuma-SUSE | anyone? | 23:17 |
