longtimeI was wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the direction of a set of instructions that would allow me to fine tune a Xubuntu machine I just set up. The machine is an old dell with an Intel Celeron 3 processor, running at 1.1ghz. I maxed out the ram at 512 mb. I'm just looking to clean things up a bit, get rid of any unnecessary processes, tweak it for speed and agility.04:05
longtimeStart my own Gentoo tarball you say?04:08
longtimeKinda what I thought. :-)04:08
rr72baudsmoke~ issue with debian prolly05:19

ValdroneSo I just installed ion3 on my xubuntu laptop. Now I haven't a clue how to configure the wireless, especially not on a WPA network. Can anyone help?06:44
_Techie_is ion3 a network manager?06:56
_Techie_oh, its a WM06:57
_Techie_i would suggest using a network manager such as wicd, im not sure if it integrates with ion3 though06:58
_Techie_or you may be able to use wifi-radar if wicd doesnt integrate properly07:00

juggleHi y'all...can Xubuntu be shipped free outside US?17:07
nikolamjuggle, where you live?17:14
jugglenikolam:East Africa17:14
nikolamjuggle, I think that Ubuntu is shipped worldwide17:14
nikolamAfter recieving ubuntu cd , yuu can install xubuntu packages ono top of it17:15
nikolamapply for recieving ubuntu cd17:16
FelineCan someone help me: I don't know how to log in as root. I am the only user of this computer and I've just set the root password, but when I try to log in at the login screen I'm presented with the message "The system administrator can not log in from this screen." So how do I log in?17:16
jugglenikolam,but at their site,they say that you must pay for shipping....I can't download it17:16
SysiFeline: do not login as root17:16
nikolamjuggle shipping is free. i recieved 3 cds when i started using x/ubuntu17:16
Sysithat's definately unwise17:16
nikolamjuggle, https://shipit.ubuntu.com/17:17
Sysifor administrating you can use su, sudo or gksudo17:17
jugglenikolam,for Ubuntu is free but not Xubuntu17:17
FelineA game I want to install says I will only get the full screen option if I install while logged in as root. Why should I not log in as root?17:17
jugglenikolam,that site is for Ubuntu:)17:18
nikolamjuggle, I just explained that you can get ubuntu and then add packages to make it work like xubunut. Maybe someone near you can just write cd for you and send it for free? Contacted nearby Loco?17:18
jugglenikolam,http://www.xubuntu.org/get is for Xubuntu17:18
SysiFeline: it isn't enough to run onlu the game as root?17:19
Sysilogin as root is unsafe17:19
Sysiseen on windows17:19
nikolamjuggle, when I started using Xubuntu, I downloaded 6.10 and 7.04 with modem. ;)17:19
jugglenikolam,i want to run Xubuntu on a 128 RAM pc...so i can't install UBUNTU in the first palce:-[17:20
FelineSysi: How do I run only the game as root?17:20
jugglenikolam,internet charges are high here...so the cd is better17:20
nikolamjuggle, why not installing more Ram, is it SDRAM in machine? I could maybe send you one 128MB SDRAM together with that CD, DVD :)17:20
nikolamjuggle, whaqt country are you in? :)17:21
jugglenikolam,Kenya:)17:21
nikolamjuggle, Nice, what city/place?17:21
jugglea town called KISUMU:-D17:22
nikolamnice juggle17:22
FelineSysi: I figured it out now. Thanks for your help!17:22
Sysii'm writing too slowly..17:23
jugglenikolam,i will add more RAM later :)...for now,need the OS17:23
nikolamMaybe you can fill in that frame and request shipping of Xubuntu CD free of shipping costs etc17:25
nikolamand request one desktop and one server cd of ubuntu at the same time17:25
jugglenikolam,i have UBUNTU:)17:26
