ideamonk_anyone runs xubuntu over old P3 256mb rams ?16:28
ldez1I run it on a laptop that has a P4 and 256mb ram16:31
Sysii had celeron 2.4ghz and 256mb, and eeepc with 900mhz and 512mb16:37
ldez1ideamonk_: Why, what's up?16:38
=== nikolam_ is now known as nikolam
ideamonk_ldez1, am confused over what to put in an old p3 box16:38
ideamonk_ubuntu 7.10 works pretty slow16:39
ideamonk_how good is xubuntu compared to ubuntu, much faster or just slight improvements ?16:39
Sysiworks lot better with 256mb16:39
ldez1Yeah, xubuntu is definitely a solid choice.. You can start out by trying 9.04, but that might run a bit slow for ya.. If it isn't running great, then you could downgrade to 8.10 or 7.1016:39
ldez1It's quite a bit more light weight16:39
ideamonk_and can I put xubuntu over previous ubuntu install and remove gnome from it ?16:40
Sysi512mb is minimum for gnome, i think xubuntu would do 128mb16:40
Sysiyes16:40
ideamonk_Woah then I guess I'm really being cruel to that old box by running gnome... thanks16:41
Sysiwell, it propably runs but propably not comfortably16:42
ldez1Hehe, I did the same thing on my dad's old laptop I was restoring for him.. Put Ubuntu 9.04 on there and it was not a pretty situation.16:42
ldez1Switched him over to Xubuntu and it's running just a ton better now.16:42
Sysifrom XP to ubuntu was huge change even with 512mb16:43
ideamonk_guys what does one mean by saying something like, Ubuntu xyz would be supported till Apr 201016:43
ideamonk_does it mean that I won't be able to apt-get after Apr 2010 ?16:44
Sysiyes16:44
ldez1I think that refers to security updates and such16:44
Sysiafter that repositories are closed16:44
ldez1Ah, repositories as well? Good to know.16:44
ideamonk_hmm16:44
DizzyDWow do I feel behind :S17:19
DizzyDCould I possibly be the only one still running feisty fawn?17:19
mthornWhat's the best way to install the gnome global menu applet in xubuntu without installing gnome?17:22
mthornI'm running 8.1017:24
DizzyDmthorn, do you know how to upgrade from feisty to 8.10?17:25
mthornDizzyD: erm, can't you just do a dist-upgrade?17:26
mthornwell, several of them anyway17:26
mthornfeisty all the way to intrepid, I'd probably just do a clean install.17:26
DizzyDwell every time I try to upgrade to 7.10 via update manager I get "Could not find the release notes"17:28
mthornhm. I'd strongly recommend a clean install. It'd take forever to download17:29
Sysisometimes clean install is easiest solution17:31
DizzyDYikes. I just didn't want to lose everything17:31
Sysitake backup17:31
Sysior make separated /home partition17:31
mthornI'm not sure what you think you're going to lose17:33
mthornas Sysi said, backup your stuff, nothing is lost.17:34
Sysiif you just "use entire drive" of course all data is erased17:35
Sysiif you only have one partition17:35

max82fra driving test pc cd rom18:40
ldez1A lot of software can be pretty fussy with running through wine.. Have you tried googling and seeing if other people have tried installing that exact program with wine?18:41
max82frno but it says it needs Microsoft.net framework to run18:42
max82frcan u help please18:44
max82fr??18:44
ldez1Check this out.. http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page18:44
ldez1I guess it's available through synaptic also, but I'm not sure if that will solve your problem.. but it's worth a try I suppose..18:46

mthornI'm running 8.10 and am trying to get the gnome global menu applet to work nicely with xfce4-panel20:48
mthornI've got the gnome applet running, but it doesn't seem to expand properly, so all the menu options end up in a drop down rather than expanding the panel applet's area.20:48
mthornDoes anyone have a suggestion on how to fix the width of the applet so it always has enough room?20:49
