domedagenI don't want to use a server09:52
domedagenMy wireless card is lame09:52
domedagenI need to partion my HDD09:52
domedagenCreate a new partion09:52
domedagenWhere I can put my files and then make them reachable on both partions09:53
domedagenCan I just make a partion with gparted by shrinking my root partition?09:55
domedagenHow large does my swap partion be if I have 4 GB DDR2 RAM?09:57
TheSheepdomedagen: you can just mount the opensuse partition in xubuntu and vice versa10:18
TheSheep!fstab | domedagen10:18
ubottudomedagen: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions10:18
TheSheepor even use the same partition for home in both distributions10:19
TheSheep(although that might cause some problems with config files for different versions of the same applications)10:19
domedagenMuch better10:21
tavastiWhere should 'evince' or 'document viewer' be in 'applications'-menu?10:29
domedagenShould I partionate before I install opensuse or when I install opensuse?10:31
tavastiIs there simple way to get launcher to panel from apps-menu item?10:36
_Techie_drag and drop10:38
tavastidoesn't work10:39
tavasti(in #xubuntu I'm talking about xfce)10:40
_Techie_you could also use xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin10:40
tavastidrag and drop should work in xfce4?10:41
tavastiwith what button?10:41
domedagenThesheep?10:44
TheSheepdomedagen: you can create a new launcher in the panel, and then drag the menu item from /usr/share/applications to the list in the launcher's properties10:45
domedagenNo about the partioning10:45
domedagenhould I partionate before I install opensuse or when I install opensuse?10:45
TheSheepdomedagen: I don't think it matters10:46
TheSheepdomedagen: as long as you create the pratitions you want10:46
TheSheepdomedagen: I don't know opensuse's installer, but I suppose it can use existing partitions10:46
domedagenOk then as soon as my update is ready I'll try partioning10:46
domedagenYes it can10:47
domedagenWhat file system does xubuntu use?10:48

Sysithen it will15:38
oorahok thanks15:38
oorahi did prefer gnome, but the beta has a flickering brightness problem that has been reported many times and its still not fixed, so it seems xfce is more friendly with my system15:39
Sysiyou also can install only xfce15:39
oorahSysi, that is all i have installed now15:40
oorahi discovered vlc doesn't play stuff right, but gxine works just as good for me15:40

alexande1dragging didn't work15:54
jugglealexander1: never used xubuntu but i think you should right click the terminal in the main menu and add to panel15:55
likemindeadUse Tilda, alexande1 !15:55
alexande1tilda? is that an application?15:55
likemindeadhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilda_%28software%2915:56

oorahbut wish i could find gyachi there16:05
Sysiall icons?16:06

oorahsame thing but thats how i did it16:08
Sysihmm, dpkg isn't maybe enough intelligent16:09
Sysithat is downloaded from somewhere?16:09
oorahyeah, found the download link in a forums16:10
Sysi.deb file?16:10
oorahyes16:10

oorahSysi, its in the network list16:14
oorahin applications16:14
Sysipropably there still isn't icon for the program16:15
oorahit worked in gnome, just dragged and dropped16:16
Sysimaybe you just need to find one and select browse in icon choosing window16:16
Sysiubuntu is not exactly like xubuntu16:17
oorahyeah true16:19
oorahis there something like force quit?16:19
oorahthat was handy for misbehaving apps16:20
oorahalso can't figure out how to put terminal on the bar16:21
Sysixfce4-terminal16:21
Sysito command16:21
oorahfor command?16:21
oorahoh ok thanks16:21
likemindeadoorah, try Tilda.16:22

likemindeadhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilda_%28software%2916:22
oorahlikemindead, whats Tilda?16:22
likemindeadIt's amazing is what it is. ;-)16:22
likemindeadQuake-style drop down terminal emulator.16:23
oorahi wish there was a force quit. its stupid that there is no gyachi icon even though i see it in network, but its ok i found a yellow smiley in the icons list16:23
oorahwhat do you mean quake-style?16:23
likemindeadI have it start up with each session & then you just hit F1 to drop it down. Highly customizable.16:23
likemindead!tilda16:24
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about tilda16:24
likemindead:-(16:24
likemindeadhttp://imagebin.ca/img/op0PjE_B.png16:25
oorahis it possible that the gyachi icon is just available for gnome only?16:26
Sysino16:27
oorahthis is weird, gyachi isn't loading when i click the icon i just put up16:27
oorahoh i fixed it16:27
oorahi forgot the command lol i feel dumb16:27
oorahSysi, so if the icon is in the app/network menu it has to be on the system somewhere, right?16:28
Sysii think so16:29
Sysimaybe name is odd?16:29
oorahSysi, any idea where else to look? lol16:29
alexande1quit17:02
ron_olocking in a kernel. You can do this with synaptic, supposedly. I did this and other kernels were installed. Does this function work?17:57
ron_oI have DKMS but I still have to change settings in certain apps after a kernel upgrade. I wouldn't mind waiting months between small upgrades rather than days or weeks.18:00
