| emma | Hi there | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| emma | my friend is trying to install xubuntu on some old laptops. She says she has downloaded the pc intel x86 iso and burned it to a CD. When she puts the CD into the laptop the laptop is not booting the xubuntu live CD | 00:30 |
| emma | Jora: is that accurate? | 00:30 |
| Jora | Hello. I am trying to install xubuntu on a pentium 3 796 mhz 128 RAM desktop | 00:30 |
| Jora | yes | 00:31 |
| C00LARR01 | did you change the boot order to put the cd first? | 00:31 |
| Jora | no | 00:31 |
| Jora | No idea how to do that | 00:31 |
| emma | Jora: is it not booting at all or is it booting but not booting the xubuntu? | 00:31 |
| Jora | It was just booting windows | 00:32 |
| emma | ahh well that's good. | 00:32 |
| Jora | I probably need to go into BIOS and change the boot order | 00:32 |
| emma | try changing the boot in your bios | 00:32 |
| emma | yes | 00:32 |
| Jora | That will be interesting never done that before but 1st time for everything | 00:32 |
| emma | at the start you can usually press one of the F buttons or something like that. usually it says if you look closely. | 00:32 |
| emma | that takes you to the bios. Then look around ni there for a way to change to boot CDROM | 00:33 |
| C00LARR01 | i am wanting to buy a usb wifi adapter and looking to see if anyone has any good experiece with a certain make and model? | 01:11 |

| ubottu | If 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 !MP3 | 03:07 |

| likemindead | I've used Xubuntu for close to two years. | 16:49 |
| vinnl | Be glad :) | 16:49 |
| likemindead | Is it in relation to specific harware? | 16:49 |
| scott55 | I am very very glad | 16:49 |
| scott55 | however | 16:49 |
| scott55 | it is not working | 16:49 |
| scott55 | "failed to run.." | 16:49 |
| vinnl | likemindead, not sure, if they knew the cause they would have fixed it, I suppose :P | 16:50 |
| scott55 | hmmm | 16:50 |
| vinnl | scott55, did you type it correctly? | 16:51 |

| likemindead | Does it require sudo? | 16:51 |
| vinnl | No | 16:51 |

| owen1 | i use 2 monitores and i only see the panels in one of them. any ideas? | 22:39 |
| owen1 | xfce4-panel | 22:39 |
| troglobyte | You have to add additional panels. | 22:42 |
| troglobyte | + to add a panel and select monitor 2 as destination | 22:42 |
| troglobyte | at least on mine. Nvidia driver set up with twinview | 22:43 |
| owen1 | troglobyte: i use nvidia as well, but i set it to have X for each monitor | 23:03 |
| troglobyte | owen1: and your "Customize Panel..." dialog box has no second monitor option? | 23:14 |
| owen1 | troglobyte: yeah, i think i got it. thank you | 23:21 |
| troglobyte | owen1: glad I could help. It's usually the other way around :) | 23:22 |
| owen1 | you are my daily hero | 23:23 |
| troglobyte | ha! | 23:24 |
| owen1 | bdw, can u drag a window from one screen to another? i think i can't since i don't use twinview. | 23:29 |
| troglobyte | I've never used the dual X option. twinview always does what I need. | 23:31 |
| owen1 | so u have one long panel that spread across the two monitores? | 23:32 |
| troglobyte | nope. I can add panels to the second monitor. but they're off by default. | 23:34 |
| owen1 | so what is twinview? maybe that's what i use? | 23:43 |
| owen1 | i see two instances of whatever window manager i use. | 23:43 |
| owen1 | as if i have two seperate machines. | 23:43 |
