XubuntuStudent2Hello could I get help?03:24
flandersuseI see on the list of available ISOs Xubuntu Netbook. What is the difference, really? Is it just a few extra packages pre-installed? Or does it use a modified kernel, tailored for netbooks (such as array.org's netbook kernel.)05:41
SakaraI have a P3 766Mhz with enough memory. will the CPU have enough grunt to run xubuntu 9.04?05:57
advaitaI am having problems with certain permissions, ie. changing a plain text file since it is read only.  Anyone know how I can change this?06:05
Sakara!chown06:20
ubottuThe linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal06:20
Sakarathat wasn't all to useful06:21
Sakara!chmod06:22
ubottuAn explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions06:22

ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP308:53

cjonesi was trying to install the drivers for my new nvidia card and this is what i got http://pastebin.ca/1607469 would someone take a look at that and tell me where i went wrong ?17:40
likemindead...17:43
* Pres-Gas starts reading output from cjones17:43
Pres-Gasoh17:43
Pres-Gaswhoops17:43
likemindeadYeah. Such patience. :-\17:44
* likemindead bought a new hdd for his old laptop & is installing Xubuntu 9.10 Beta on it. :-)17:50
likemindeadHmm... how long should "Scanning the mirror..." take on a Xubuntu 9.10 Beta install? It's been at 80% for at least ten minutes. :-\18:28
SiDilikemindead: depends on luck18:29
SiDisometimes it's instant, sometimes it's _long_18:29
likemindeadHa! Now it's moving again. :-)18:30
Pres-Gashmmm, I wonder if one of the other virtual terminals would show more detailed progress, likemindead and SiDi?18:33
geniiIf it's an alt cd then console 4 shows stdout18:38
likemindeadYikes... http://imagebin.ca/img/jlTzSJ.jpg18:38
genii!slow18:39
ubottuThe Ubuntu repositories and ISO mirrors are currently under heavy load. Please consider using !torrents to download ISO images, and be patient with APT updates.  Also, try changing !mirrors18:39
likemindeadYup. I always change my repo server as soon as I get up and running. I'll skip the language packs for now.18:39
likemindeadDoes that "!slow" command give real time info? Does it change?18:39
geniiIt's not a dynamic realtime factoid reflecting current network status or so. Since 9.10 is currently newly in RC we're using it as the mirrors are being hammered18:41
geniiSorry, Beta, not RC yet18:42
likemindeadRoger.18:42
xharxhow much faster does an installation boot in comparision with a life usb drive?20:05

tavastiin my xubuntu 9.04 if I clicked URL on irc or skype, it opened in firefox, and firefox stayed in it's place, but now in Karmic Firefox comes to same desktop as the program which is calling it. How to get behaviour I had before?20:35
Sysiin settings, there are advanced settings for window manager or something like that20:37
Sysii may need to get english xubuntu20:37
tavastidon't bother, that hint is enough for me20:38
tavastiwindow manager tweaks - focus - wehen window raises itself20:40
tavastiSysi, thanks! You are running your xubuntu in Finnish?20:41
Sysiyes20:55
Sysii wondered if i remember you :)20:56
Alcasar_Hi all21:20
Alcasar_I'v installed Ubuntu at home and i find it slow, would XUbuntu be faster?21:20
Sysipropably, but may not very much21:20
Alcasar_How come Ubuntu is slower then Win XP? That doesn't seem right.21:22
Sysiit shouldn't be21:23
knomeAlcasar_, windows xp was released in 2001, the newest ubuntu is released this year.21:23
Sysiit's still lighter21:23
Alcasar_windows is so blotted21:23
Sysiat least if antivirus is also notified21:23
Alcasar_Sysi: antivirus???21:24
Sysiin xp21:24
Sysican you use it without?21:24
knomeSysi, yes :P21:25
Sysibut with internet, and how long :P21:25
knomedepends21:25
Alcasar_My home comp is not connected to the net so no antivirus or other protection software21:25
knomei'm not saying you should, but you can21:25
Alcasar_win comp + internet - (antivirus + firewall) = hundreds of viruses and other malware in a couple of minutes21:29
knomeyou can have antivirus somewhere else than in your computer21:30
knomethat's offtopic anyway, so let's not get into that21:30
Alcasar_ok21:33
Alcasar_as i said no net at home and right now i'm using a winxp comp, so how can i download apps for ubuntu?21:34
mhall119|workAlcasar_: Keryx21:39
Alcasar_keryx works on winxp?21:40
Alcasar_and it's not just in development21:40
mhall119|workAlcasar_: it works on Windows, and I've used it in the past21:41
Alcasar_ok thanks21:42
