konsumerHello everyone.01:03
konsumerI have a question. If i install Xubuntu on an old Compaq laptop (2200 Series) and decide to install something else later, can i completely delete the partition with, say, Ubuntu or Kubuntu?01:05
konsumeri think i ping'd, did you reply?01:08
konsumeranyone*01:08
mikubuntuanybody have this behavior recently?  all my desktop saved files have disappeard from the desktop; they are still available in the filesystem folder named 'desktop', but they no longer appear on the desktop screen.01:14
ron_oI have that because I chose not to have any links shown on my desktop01:19
ron_oit's in  settings >> desktop  or something...01:19
ron_okonsumer, as long as your home partition is separated from your root "/" partition, you can do that.01:20
ron_oyou must reinstall all your applications from scratch, however. But there are techniques of doing that with very little effort.01:21

ninoy26can anyone help me? im going back to linux again (after 5 years of law school - my father forced me. haha)14:13
ninoy26anyone here?14:14
Mendocinoyes, ninoy26 brother14:15
ninoy26i installed xubuntu, but it doenst show an 1024x768 resolution14:16
ninoy26its an old laptop14:16
ninoy26i tried to look for xorg.conf, but it wasnt there14:16
ablomenninoy26, xorg (sadly) configures itself on boot nowadays, but you can still create a xorg.conf file and put stuff there if you like14:17
ninoy26i tried to create one14:17
ninoy26but its still empty14:18
ninoy26sudo service gdm stop14:18
ninoy26sudo Xorg -configure14:18
ninoy26like that14:18
ninoy26did that14:18
ablomenno i think you have to create it by hand14:19
ninoy26how?14:19
ninoy26any help14:19
ninoy26im really excited14:19
ablomenwell you can create a file with your text-editor and add the stuff you need (i think just the screen section) but im not sure that is your problem, can you give any details on your laptop's hardware?14:21
ninoy26its an old laptop14:21

cebosoundhow do i get flash ?21:59
knomesudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree22:00
cebosoundi installed google chrome and went to youtube.  it asked to dowload adobe flash for linux.   but nothing really happend?...22:00
knomeinstall the package22:00
vinnlcebosound, just open Applications->Add/Remove..., search for Flash and install it22:01
cebosoundinstall the package that you recommended?  or from adobe flash?22:01
vinnl(Make sure "All available applications" is selected in the drop-down menu on top22:01
cebosoundok.  i will try.   today is my first day with xubuntu installed.   it is awsome so far. since i have put it on my old pentium 4 laptop just to try out linux.22:03
vinnlNice :)22:03
cebosoundok.  there is movie player.  is that the right one so i can watch on youtube?22:09
vinnlNo22:09
vinnlIt's probably something like "Adobe Flash Player"22:09
vinnl(You can also visit zombo.com and click the box there ;-)22:09
vinnlAh, it's Adobe Flash plugin22:10
cebosoundoh , i didnt have it on "all open source applications".22:10
vinnlAlso, you might want to install "Xubuntu restricted extras" if you don't mind proprietary software22:10
vinnl!restricted22:11
ubottuFor multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats22:11
cebosoundwhat is "xubuntu restricted extras"?   does it take up a lot of space?22:11
vinnlIt installs things like the flash player, support for playing MP3 files, and other things many people want but which Xubuntu can't install by default because of legal issues22:12
vinnlSo yeah, I suppose it'll take some space (most people can probably have it, not sure how much space you have), but it includes a lot of stuff you probably want22:13
cebosoundvinnl, sounds good . where do i find it?22:15
vinnlcebosound, also in Applications->Add/Remove...22:16
vinnlMake sure "All available applications" is selected, not just "All open source applications"22:16
cebosoundvinnl, i am installing xubuntu restricted extras...does that have adobe flash in there? it looks like it has some kind of flash in it.  and i just saw what u meant by "all available applications"   duh. my bad. lol22:28
vinnlcebosound, yes, it will also install Flash :)22:28
cebosoundsweet22:29
cebosoundis that abiword compatible with office word?22:46
vinnlIt tries to and often succeeds, it may have problems with complex documents22:46
cebosoundi saw there was some other office, cant remember the name. is that one more compatible22:47
vinnlOpenOffice22:48
cebosoundyeah.22:48
cebosoundis that like an open share "microsoft office"?22:48
vinnlIt has more developers behind it, so it's probably a bit better. You can install both if you'd like, just in case Abiword (which is much faster) has trouble reading a document22:48
vinnlIt's just another office suite, but fairly big22:48
vinnlAnd yeah, it often tries to imitate MS Office22:49
cebosoundi have a newer laptop... about 6 months old that i do most of that kind of those kind of things with.   I am just breathing new life into an old dell laptop that was on its way out.   this linux stuff is pretty neat.  i have been using xp for a long time on all machines.   i wonder why more people don't use linux22:51
vinnlHabit, I suppose22:52
vinnlIt's quite a step and a lot of work to learn to use a new operating system22:52
cebosoundtrue.  but if you have the time i would imagine it could be fun22:52
vinnlYeah, but how many people have the time? ;-)22:53
cebosoundyeah22:53
vinnlAlso, most people will want to use a spare machine to try it as they're afraid to lose a usable system, but not everybody has one22:53
cebosoundso i downloaded and installed that "restricted" pack.  now, do i have to restart.  i want to try to use you tube.22:55
vinnlYou only have to restart if it says so. You may need to close Firefox and then open it again22:56
cebosoundit looks like that worked.   although this computer doesn't have enough ram or speed to watch the video in a steady stream.23:00
cebosoundor something.23:00
vinnlMake sure you don't have YouTube's HD or HQ enabled :)23:00
vinnlBut then still your computer might not be powerful enough...23:00
cebosoundtrue.   i was thinking about adding a 1g of ram in this laptop to help it.  and i would just use for occasional extra stuff and to learn more about xubuntu and linux as a whole.23:02
vinnlSounds like a good idea ;-)23:03
cebosoundi think this laptop only has like half of a Gig of ram as is23:03
cebosoundWho knows i might have to just convert my other laptop to xubuntu.  i can only imagine how i could shredd through things speed wise with that.23:04
vinnl^.^23:04
vinnlBut I'd take my time to get to know it on this laptop first23:05
cebosoundyeah, that is a good idea.23:05
cebosoundhow do i change the time out of military time?  i have tried but didn't see anything.  do i have to keep it that way23:05
vinnlNo, I believe Applications->System->Time and date23:06
cebosoundwell, i think i have done enough of learning xubuntu for a while  vinnl,  thank you VERY much for your help and patience.23:12
vinnlHeh, no problem, come back any time you like :)23:13
vinnlWell, then I guess I'm off too, bye :)23:19
