[02:15] question...am i correct in assuming I need xubuntu 64-bit to use my extra 2GB's of RAM from Santa? Any conflicts or other down-sides to 64-bit? [02:18] neiliob1973, 64-bit is pretty stable nowadays. i've used 64-bit for ages. [02:18] but required to recognize extra RAM? [02:18] i think the limit for i386 is 4GB [02:19] i'm not sure though [02:19] well, it ain't seeing it yet. LOL [02:19] yeah, that's the limit [02:19] is there any 32-to-64 upgrade, or just fresh install? [02:19] you have to do a fresh install [02:20] yeah, that's what I just KNEW you'd say. THNX!!!! [02:20] get to backin' up. now [02:20] np. have fun with the new ram ;) [02:40] isn't emacs part of the default install? [02:45] i suppose not [02:46] why should it be? [03:01] hey just installed chrome browser today, it rocks :) [03:01] I installed it a few days back, yes it rocks [03:03] the only negative is no way to set a home page and no arrows on the scrollbar [03:04] yes you can set home page [03:04] nwadawg, how? [03:05] options/basic/home page [03:06] http://omploader.org/vMzI3dQ [03:09] oh ok thanks nwadawg [03:09] is there a way to put arrows on the scrollbar? [03:09] let me look [03:12] oorah: sry couldn't find anything [03:12] nwadawg, its ok [03:12] nwadawg, do you know how to go to homepage from another page? [03:13] you got a bookmark toolbar? [03:14] nwadawg, no i don't [03:15] in settings check show bookmark bar [03:16] oh ok thanks [03:16] np [03:17] seems a lot faster than firefox, epiphany, midori, etc [03:17] it is, I'm happy with it [03:17] so much, I uninstalled firefox [03:17] i wonder when chrome os comes out? [03:17] me too [03:19] I'm really liking xfce, I'm coming from opnbox [03:19] xfce is great [03:19] lack of gui menu customizing, but i prefer the speed [03:20] hope chrome browser doesn't get lots of add ons, thats what makes fast browsers slow down over time [03:22] I cut my panel down to menu & desktop switcher, added most of my openbox scripts, right great now [03:25] i haven't used openbox [03:25] http://omploader.org/vMzI3dw current desktop [03:26] looks dark [03:26] not too dark [03:27] <__Techie__> oorah, openbox isnt reccomended for the regular user, however it is perfect for someone who wants a clean minimalist desktop [03:28] http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/Knuckle_Brawler/?action=view¤t=mysetup.png&newest=1 and http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/Knuckle_Brawler/?action=view¤t=87999-matrix_ubuntu_wallpape2.jpg&newest=1 are a couple shots of what i had recently, went back to default theme though [03:28] nice [03:29] now i'm using default theme with jmak wallpaper [03:29] i like the black and bright green look [03:30] i'm using Lucid alpha right now [03:30] you like it? [03:30] its actually better than karmic for my system, bad bugs in karmic [03:31] yes very much, actually more stable. karmic has been bad on netbooks [03:31] its not perfect, but the minor bugs are hardly noticeable [03:31] I may dl it and give it a spin [03:32] i try out alphas so i can look for bugs to report. this is only the 2nd time i've used an alpha as my primary system though [03:33] the other time was with i don't remember, it was 8.10 or 8.04 when the first update broke my system. [03:33] I'm running karmic xfce, Madbox on spare laptop [03:33] its weird how a regular update can wreck a computer [03:33] whats madbox? [03:33] took a look at ZevenOS [03:33] madbox is a custom 9.10 xfce [03:37] oh i see [03:37] is it LTS based? [03:37] i mean based on the LTS releases?

[04:57] <_Techie_> this is the RAM you got from santa? [04:57] yepper...Kingston DDR2, 2GB [04:58] <_Techie_> hrmm, i think santa has come up with a better punishment than coal =p [04:58] what Toshiba recommended (same as original 2GB card) [04:58] even swapped slots, made no difference [04:58] ?!!?!?!?!? [05:01] <_Techie_> does the motherboard support more than 2GB [05:02] yes. up to 4GB [05:53] sup sexy xubuntu users [05:53] tem > Preferences > Appearance, set Visual Effects to 'none'.

[10:42] _Techie_: I missed your answer to my question yesterday, do you have time? [10:43] <_Techie_> which question was this? [10:43] i am missing my windowbuttons when I max a window [10:43] <_Techie_> oh yeah [10:43] <_Techie_> are your title bars visible? [10:44] no they aren't, its the titlebar of the window underneath or the desktop [10:45] clean installation? [10:45] mine did that after installing xfce to UNR [10:45] <_Techie_> that rules out my theory [10:46] yeah thats exactly my situation [10:46] i tried unr but didn't like it [10:46] how did you fix it? [10:47] apt-get remove maximus [10:47] rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions/ [10:47] log out and in [10:48] i'll try and be back in 5 [10:48] and don't save session ofc [10:51] wohoo, that worked [10:51] thank you very much [10:52] np [10:53] after I read the package description it is clear why that leaves to a problem [10:54] i thought of anything from xfce to buggy drivers but another windowmgr was beyond my believe [10:54] -leaves +leads [14:39] any recomendation for a good game?

It didn't work, and now I'd just like to get X working again. I reverted to the original /etc/xorg.conf file and now I can only start the x server as root.
