| Balsaq | welcome to the land of zoo bun two | 15:08 |
| oorah | I'm using the Lucid alpha right now | 15:08 |
| oorah | its zoo boon too lol | 15:08 |
| Balsaq | oh yes..forgot | 15:08 |
| oorah | but its ok to say things different i guess | 15:09 |
| oorah | i call gnome gnome, not guh-nome | 15:09 |
| Balsaq | sounds much better...like it came from deep in the rainforest | 15:09 |
| oorah | it does | 15:09 |
| TheSheep | rainforests are for the weak | 15:10 |
| Balsaq | oorah how do you like alpha | 15:12 |
| oorah | Balsaq, its pretty stable, no major problems | 15:14 |
| oorah | Balsaq, i like it better than karmic, it was a nightmare on my netbook lol | 15:14 |
| Balsaq | i didn't realize it was available yet | 15:14 |
| oorah | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks just scroll down to msi u100 its nuts | 15:15 |
| Balsaq | cool, i put in favorites, i'll burn one later | 15:16 |
| Sysi | for me they said that current alpha is almost same as karmic | 15:16 |
| TheSheep | the kernel is new | 15:16 |
| Balsaq | i burn em and put them in cd sleeves that i make | 15:16 |
| Balsaq | and give em away free | 15:16 |
| oorah | same theme and wallpaper yes | 15:19 |
| oorah | there's somethin weird i notice when i'm logged into pidgin or thunderbird that when i get a new email or instant message or friend comes online or offline | 15:20 |
| oorah | but nothing problematic | 15:21 |
| oorah | Balsaq, your nickname might offend some people | 15:22 |
| Balsaq | it is possible but i tell them the q is silent | 15:23 |
| oorah | Balsaq, oh i see funny haha | 15:23 |
| Balsaq | some have a vivid imagination | 15:23 |
| oorah | Balsaq, are there a lot of people that want the cd's? | 15:23 |
| Balsaq | well in my area most don't even know what it is, i do it to help the cause since my tech skill are still.....underway | 15:24 |
| oorah | me too haha | 15:24 |
| Balsaq | it is all i can do at this point to help out | 15:24 |
| oorah | i've been using Linux for years, but all i know is what i need to know. if i need to learn more i will but my knowledge so far suits everything i need it for | 15:25 |
| oorah | i don't know the full list of commands and directories and all that | 15:25 |
| Balsaq | so far 3 peole at work have told me their windows computers were running extremely slow, 2 were really messed up with virus, so i wiped em clean and installed buntu, they love it | 15:25 |
| Balsaq | they had windows | 15:25 |
| oorah | one of my favorite things about Linux and BSD distros is the updates. every app and the system at the same time instead of one app at a time | 15:26 |
| oorah | remember with windows when ya had to update stuff one app at a time? it took an evening lol | 15:27 |
| Balsaque | someone whacked me? | 15:32 |
| Balsaque | yet my name is still up there? | 15:32 |
| Balsaque | anyone know what just happened? | 15:33 |
| phxheat | I wanted to put xubuntu on a old 533mhz machine that has CD disks not DVD. CD are 650MB but the .iso is 664MB so its too big to burn on a disc. Any ideas | 15:45 |
| TheSheep | phxheat: a cd has 700MB | 15:49 |
| TheSheep | phxheat: just allow overburning in your cd burning program | 15:49 |
| phxheat | TheSheep your right 700MB, but when I read the size its less than that maybe 630, i feel cheated. Ill try other discs i think one will show up as 700. Ill try the overburn. thank you | 15:53 |
| Stylee | hello, I installed xubuntu on an old celeron 600 Mhz box... and when I rebooted it says | 21:40 |
| Stylee | the initrd is too big | 21:41 |
| Stylee | when I try to load the kernel I mean | 21:41 |
| Sysi | how much RAM? | 21:41 |
| Stylee | 400 and something Mb | 21:42 |
| Stylee | is too little? | 21:42 |
| Sysi | i don't think it shouldn't | 21:43 |
| Sysi | *should be too little | 21:43 |
| Stylee | well those are 3 different modules, can this make problems? | 21:44 |
| Sysi | i'm not good with hardware but that machine sound's old for xubuntu | 21:45 |
| Sysi | crunchbang or lubuntu might be better | 21:46 |
| Stylee | well previously was win xp on it, isn't it greedier than xubuntu? | 21:46 |
| Stylee | well it runs from light CD well, so it should run even better from hdd I guess | 21:58 |
| Stylee | besides, here they say it should http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=459872 | 21:58 |
| Stylee | so can anybody help me? | 23:12 |
| knome | Stylee, ? | 23:15 |
| Stylee | when I try to boot the kernel it says initrd is too big | 23:17 |
| Stylee | how to fix it? | 23:17 |
| Stylee | from live CD it works ok | 23:18 |
| knome | which xubuntu version? is it normal hardware? | 23:18 |
| Stylee | 9.10 | 23:18 |
| Stylee | normal as in? | 23:18 |
| knome | well, not anything weird | 23:18 |
| Stylee | no all normal | 23:18 |
| knome | okay. i suppose you are trying to use the regular/default kernel? | 23:19 |
| Stylee | it was a box used in administration office | 23:19 |
| Stylee | yes | 23:19 |
| Stylee | I use the kernel bundled in the live CD | 23:19 |
| Stylee | should I change it? | 23:19 |
| knome | no, i don't think so | 23:19 |
| Stylee | configure it myself? | 23:19 |
| Stylee | hmm | 23:20 |
| Stylee | I would try with 9.4 but the installation take as much as gentoo installation on my regular box :) | 23:21 |
| Stylee | so long :) | 23:21 |
| Stylee | if possible I would like to fix this installation | 23:22 |
| knome | Stylee, what does 'ls /boot/initrd* -l -h' say? | 23:22 |
| knome | Stylee, (in terminal) | 23:22 |
| Stylee | wait I should boot from live CD | 23:23 |
| knome | uhm | 23:23 |
| knome | can you log in with *any* kernel? | 23:24 |
| knome | withtout the cd | 23:24 |
| Stylee | well there is just the kernel from live CD, I did a fresh install | 23:24 |
| Stylee | before was win XP on that box | 23:25 |
| knome | so you did a fresh install but initrd is too big? | 23:25 |
| Stylee | so it says | 23:25 |
| Stylee | I even tried a reinstall, with same result | 23:25 |
| knome | Stylee, have you read this: http://unintention.com/?id=68 ? | 23:26 |
| knome | Stylee, i don't know if that would help but.. | 23:26 |
| Stylee | I will try to read it now | 23:26 |
| Stylee | will try this hope it helps | 23:28 |
| knome | okay :) | 23:29 |
| balvonas | xubuntu 64bit is awesome | 23:31 |
| knome | balvonas, great to hear you like it | 23:32 |
| balvonas | damn stable | 23:32 |
| balvonas | ;] | 23:32 |
| balvonas | even on my crapy Acer | 23:32 |
| knome | heh | 23:32 |
| knome | it is pretty solid | 23:32 |
| Stylee | knome: it booted, thanks :) I was looking on google but with xubuntu keyword | 23:33 |
| knome | Stylee, yeah, np. have fun and merry christmas :) | 23:33 |
| Stylee | thanks, you too | 23:34 |
| knome | will do :) | 23:34 |
| Stylee | seems nice, hope my sister will get used to it quickly | 23:44 |
| knome | Stylee, i'm sure she will. it's really easy to use. | 23:52 |
| Stylee | well she is not really a tech type, and she is used to windows | 23:56 |
| Stylee | though this machine is really slow | 23:57 |
| knome | if she is open to learn a bit new and learn to some new habits, she will be allright. | 23:57 |
