| _Techie_ | hello Guest19942 | 00:00 |
| Guest19942 | Is posible update to Xubuntu 10.04 by the command "sudo update-manager -d? | 00:01 |
| _Techie_ | yes | 00:02 |
| charlie-tca | don't use the -d | 00:02 |
| _Techie_ | or you can sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:02 |
| charlie-tca | final is out. If you start update-manager, it should tell you a new version 10.04 is available | 00:02 |
| Guest19942 | yes | 00:03 |
| charlie-tca | just click upgrade | 00:03 |
| Guest19942 | but it tell me there's a new version of UBUNTU 10.04, not XUBUNTU | 00:04 |
| charlie-tca | If you installed Xubuntu, it will upgrade Xubuntu | 00:04 |
| Guest19942 | ok!!!! | 00:04 |
| charlie-tca | even if the text is wrong. | 00:04 |
| Guest19942 | thank you!!! | 00:04 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 00:15 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | Hello Im working on a buntu multiboot DVD on launchpad and needed to know if on the live CD if the initrd file found in /casper is named either "/casper/initrd.lz" or "/casper/initrd.gz"? Would someone be so kind as to verify this for me? | 01:01 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | _Techie_: Hi there! | 01:01 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | For Lucid of course | 01:01 |
| _Techie_ | anyone here from the US that might be willing to donate the use of a shell account on one of their linux machines | 01:01 |
| _Techie_ | Sachse_Siechtum, got a shell hosting service in washington | 01:02 |
| _Techie_ | however for ssh forwarding you need an upgraded subscription | 01:03 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | _Techie_, which means...spending money.. | 01:03 |
| charlie-tca | LinuxGuy2009: might be better to ask in #ubuntu-installer, but I don't know if anyone is available tonight. | 01:03 |
| _Techie_ | which according to the information they have given me is $36 one time only | 01:04 |

| spazz | hi | 09:09 |
| spazz | I got lucid yesterday.. and it moves my mouse cursor faster in horizontal directions than in vertical directions.. how can I fix that!? | 09:09 |
| mr_pouit | ircipimp: pong | 09:16 |
| ircipimp | mr_pouit: hi. I've seen your reply in #566900 regarding the integration of xfce and gnome-session and i suspect this to be the cause of #564831 as well (which i reported). Can you confirm this? | 09:19 |
| ircipimp | And if so, can we figure out a workaround to get gnome-keyring-daemon integrated into xfce4-session? | 09:19 |
| ircipimp | (didn't we have a bot here posting links to bug numbers?) | 09:19 |
| minimec | Hi folks. I am using a xfce4-terminal in combination with e17 WM. Is there A way to prevent 'always on top' of the Terminal window when I go into Fulscreen mode? | 09:29 |
| mr_pouit | ircipimp: I don't have any clear idea for this one. gnome-keyring isn't automatically started by xfce4-session now. But if the desktop files are present in xdg/autostart, it will... If it is requested by nm-applet over dbus, it will be started by dbus... | 09:34 |
| mr_pouit | ircipimp: Anyway, gnome-keyring has been rewritten for 2.30, so I don't think the doc is up-to-date in this aspect :( | 09:34 |
| ircipimp | yes. the problem seems to be, that the environment variables printed by g-k-d are not imported into the env | 09:35 |
| mr_pouit | iirc, there is gnome-keyring 2.30.1 in -proposed, you should try it :] | 09:35 |
| ircipimp | ok, i'll try that | 09:35 |
| mr_pouit | ircipimp: I looked a bit at the code a few days ago, and there are two ways to set these vars: by g_setenv() and over dbus with gnome-session | 09:35 |
| mr_pouit | (I don't know how gnome-keyring decides which way though...) | 09:36 |
| ircipimp | which mechanism does g_setenv use to push the variable to env? | 09:37 |
| ircipimp | until karmic i just started g-k-d manually in .xsession. However since lucid, nm-applet won't be able to connect, it i start it that way. | 09:38 |
| mr_pouit | g_setenv is just "the normal way that should work everywhere" | 09:38 |
| ircipimp | can it be, that xsession get executed before dbus, thus g-k-d cannot register with dbus and fails to do so when dbus comes up, but dbus fails on starting g-k-d when requested by nm-applet? | 09:39 |
| ircipimp | i'll go and try 2.30.1 | 09:41 |
| ircipimp | thanks for the help so far! | 09:41 |
| mr_pouit | ircipimp: feel free to comment on the bug report if you understand the issue ;) | 09:42 |
| ircipimp | yes, i will try to further track this down during the weekend. Having to type "ssh-add" after each login annoys me, especially as it is a regression bug | 09:43 |

| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 11:59 |
| _Techie_ | or you could edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 11:59 |
| _Techie_ | psycho_oreos, single is not what were after here | 12:00 |
| _Techie_ | CLI was asked for, not insta-root | 12:00 |
| _Techie_ | single will throw you in as root, however text will give you a terminal where you can login as a regular user | 12:00 |
| psycho_oreos | _Techie_, still its text mode | 12:01 |
| psycho_oreos | yes not quite correct as yours but close | 12:01 |
| _Techie_ | i just dont want someone sitting in root all the time if they dont know what they are doing | 12:01 |
| _Techie_ | its extremely dangerous | 12:01 |

| aigoo | How can I change the run level to 3? | 13:51 |
| psycho_oreos | init 3 | 13:51 |
| psycho_oreos | err sudo init 3 | 13:51 |
| bazhang | !runlevel | aigoo | 13:51 |
| ubottu | aigoo: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 13:51 |
| Sysi | telinit ? | 13:52 |
| aigoo | Sysi: I want to start my system directly in cli mode. | 13:53 |
| bazhang | stop gdm? | 13:53 |
| bazhang | aigoo, this is permanent? | 13:54 |
| aigoo | bazhang: yes, it is. | 13:54 |
| bazhang | aigoo, fresh install? or upgrade | 13:54 |
| _Techie_ | aigoo, suffix the boot parameters with "text" without quotation marks | 13:55 |
| aigoo | bazhang: fresh install | 13:55 |
| bazhang | aigoo, well if its permanent you might consider the minimal installer (around 10mb download) and install only what you need | 13:56 |
| _Techie_ | aigoo, suffix the boot parameters with "text" without quotation marks | 13:56 |
| moetunes | isn't not starting gdm in rc2.d easier? | 13:56 |

| bazhang | aigoo, hang on | 13:57 |
| aigoo | bazhang: ok | 13:57 |
| moetunes | !minimal | 13:57 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:57 |

| bazhang | whoops | 13:58 |
| _Techie_ | seriously guys, if you want to load a CLI | 14:00 |

| aigoo | _Techie_: Where to add that? | 14:01 |
| Sysi | or just remove gdm | 14:02 |
| _Techie_ | aigoo, in the boot parameters | 14:02 |
| _Techie_ | Sysi, while that will achieve what were after, it will however it requires modification of the system | 14:02 |
| Sysi | yeah, but it's easy | 14:03 |
| _Techie_ | Sysi, so is adding text, it can even be done during boot if you want | 14:04 |
| aigoo | bazhang: It's possibile to install a minimal Xubuntu version? | 14:04 |
| bazhang | aigoo, well you add xubuntu and its not really minimal anymore | 14:05 |

| charlie-tca | !hi | MaxFrames | 14:39 |
| ubottu | MaxFrames: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 14:39 |
| MaxFrames | I have just upgraded from karmic to lucid and I am a less-than-happy cat :( | 14:39 |
| MaxFrames | thunar is broken... in detailed view there is no way to select items | 14:39 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 14:40 |
| charlie-tca | But compact view and icon view work fine | 14:40 |
| MaxFrames | and I have also issues with synergy+ (OK, it's not officially supported, but it worked on karmic) | 14:40 |
| charlie-tca | bug 520118 | 14:40 |
| MaxFrames | there is no solution right now, is there? | 14:41 |
| charlie-tca | synergy+ I don't know, but you could look if there is a bug filed and if not, report the issue in launchpad | 14:41 |
| charlie-tca | no solution to thunar, no, not for us or arch or any other distro at this time | 14:41 |
| MaxFrames | right now, I am trying to build the latest release candidate of synergy+, to see if it gets better | 14:41 |
| MaxFrames | I must say that I am disappointed... karmic brought a major problem (gnome-screensaver not locking the screen, required to roll back to xscreensaver) and now this is also quite an annoyance | 14:43 |
| MaxFrames | from launchpad I gather that this issue was known in beta stage... why did they release it like this if they knew about it? | 14:45 |
| moetunes | comes down to time and number of uses prob | 14:46 |
| moetunes | users I meant | 14:46 |
| MaxFrames | well, thunar is the default xubuntu file manager isn't it? so anyone upgrading xubuntu will face this bug | 14:46 |
| charlie-tca | Well, sometimes it becomes a choice, release or never release | 14:46 |
| MaxFrames | "never" is exaggerated | 14:47 |
| MaxFrames | "later" is more likely | 14:47 |
| charlie-tca | right, could have waited 6 months | 14:47 |
| MaxFrames | no problem... better than upgrading to a non working release | 14:47 |
| moetunes | I've never used "detailed view" | 14:47 |
| charlie-tca | There is no fix that upstream has been able to find, how long would be reasonable? | 14:48 |
| MaxFrames | this is the last time I trust the next LTS to be better than the previous release | 14:48 |
| charlie-tca | I don't see a non-working release mentioned. I see a release that has a bug that can be easily worked around | 14:48 |
| MaxFrames | when I got the gnome-screensaver bug, there were two solutions... 1) revert to xscreensaver (which canonical did with lucid anyway) and 2) roll back a couple of versions... both worked... | 14:49 |
| charlie-tca | Not everyone uses detailed view. It is an option you set up | 14:49 |
| charlie-tca | Some bugs are easier to workaround than others. You still have options. Use icon or compact view. They do not freeze thunar | 14:49 |
| MaxFrames | it's like selling a car and say "don't move your seat from the default position, it could get loose, if it does it's your fault because you moved it to suit your needs" | 14:49 |
| charlie-tca | Default is icon view, not detailed view | 14:50 |
| MaxFrames | read again please | 14:50 |
| MaxFrames | I should be able to customize a setting to my needs... | 14:50 |
| moetunes | there's 20000+ apps in xubuntu | 14:51 |
| charlie-tca | workaround: use compact view, press ctrl+2 to see detailed view when you get to the folder you need to look at the dates in | 14:51 |
| MaxFrames | moetunes: I'm not talking an obscure app (like synergy+ admittely is), but the default file manager! | 14:51 |
| charlie-tca | enough rant now. Do you have an issue you need help with? | 14:51 |
| MaxFrames | yes, with synergy+ | 14:51 |
| charlie-tca | !question | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 14:52 |
| MaxFrames | sometimes, when I switch to the "server" (windows) and then back to the client (lucid), the key mapping is screwed | 14:52 |
| MaxFrames | does not happen every time so it's hard to identify the reason | 14:52 |
| MaxFrames | for example, I type "-" and get "_" | 14:53 |
| MaxFrames | or type lower case and get upper case (and cannot toggle upper case lock) | 14:53 |
| MaxFrames | unfortunately, being noob, I cannot seem to be able to build a newer version of synergy+ to see if it fixes the issue | 14:53 |
| MaxFrames | the command should be ./hm.sh build, but it gives me unknown command | 14:54 |
| MaxFrames | I'm sorry about the ranting... but I'd really like to discuss the "release or die" concept... is there a "loose ubuntu chat" room available? | 14:56 |
| charlie-tca | #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:57 |
| MaxFrames | ok, thanks | 14:57 |
| TomJ | Xubuntu 9.10 - my menu bar and taskbar have disappeared. normally I ahve the menu at the top and a task list at the bottom, both have gone. I can see the desktop with its icons, but can't find how to get the menus back | 14:57 |
| charlie-tca | !panel | TomJ | 14:57 |
| TomJ | (nor do I know what made them disappeared -it's actually my Mum's laptop, so she might have pressed anything.) | 14:57 |
| ubottu | TomJ: Did you panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ | 14:57 |
| TomJ | OK - it crashes often? | 14:58 |
| charlie-tca | panels? | 14:58 |
| charlie-tca | TomJ: the panels crash often, or the whole system? | 14:58 |
| Sysi | pretty often, devs just still can't reproduce it :D | 14:58 |
| TomJ | ah, "Since disappearing panels occurs often". Is this improved in 10.04? Seems quite a big issue | 14:58 |
| TomJ | charlie-tca: I meant xfce4-panel is crashing - to me it only happened once, but that link says it happens often | 14:59 |
| TomJ | OK, but this issue persisted reboots - I guess that's because I have "save session" enabled? | 14:59 |
| charlie-tca | Well, for me it improved, I haven't crashed the panels in 10.04 since alpha2 | 14:59 |
| TomJ | and shouldnt xfce4-panels appear in the session startup list? Or does something else start it? | 14:59 |
| TomJ | charlie-tca: I am on 9.10 - I will try 10.04 | 14:59 |
| charlie-tca | I think it is started by something else | 15:00 |
| TomJ | OK - but it doesnt come back for me on reboots at the moment. so either its absence is being saved by the session manager, or else it is crashing on every startup | 15:00 |
| TomJ | I guess I will know the latter once I restart it with alt-f2 | 15:01 |
| TomJ | anyway I'm going to reinstall with 10.04. 9.10 hasn't been going great for me so far - had a few other issues also | 15:01 |
| charlie-tca | Once it crashes, it won't restart by restarting the system. You do have to restart it separately | 15:01 |
| TomJ | charlie-tca: ok thanks | 15:01 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 15:01 |
| moetunes | it helps if you backup .config/xfce/panel | 15:02 |
| MaxFrames | can you suggest a replacement for thunar (and how to make it the default file browser)? | 15:06 |
| charlie-tca | nautilus? | 15:07 |
| charlie-tca | I would only know to remove thunar and install the other one. That will make the new one default, I think | 15:07 |
| MaxFrames | perhaps | 15:08 |
| moetunes | pcmanfm is light | 15:10 |
| MaxFrames | when the "caps lock" and "scroll lock" keyboard leds blink at the same time, it means kernel panic, doesn't it? | 15:31 |
| genii | MaxFrames: When all 3 keyboard lights flash on and off continuously, yes kernel panic | 15:33 |
| MaxFrames | the "num lock" was not blinking | 15:33 |
| genii | MaxFrames: If they just blink once when you turn the computer on and no more, your motherboard passed it's self-check | 15:34 |
| MaxFrames | maybe it was "kernel anxiety" :D :D | 15:34 |
| genii | Heh | 15:34 |
| MaxFrames | it happened when I shut down, and they were blinking continuously and the screen was blank; I had to force the shutdown | 15:34 |
| MaxFrames | bye | 15:52 |
| abubakar | hi any one there to help me | 16:41 |
| hatake_kakashi | ask and you may receive | 16:42 |
| charlie-tca | !anyone | 16:42 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 16:42 |
| abubakar | I was customising the panel in panel manager.I dont know ,suddenly one of my panels containing the browsers has disappeared.what should I do to restore it. | 16:45 |
| bazhang | !panels | 16:45 |
| ubottu | Did your panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ | 16:45 |
| Prajwal | started downloading xubuntu 10.04 | 16:52 |
| Prajwal | waiting to test it 8) | 16:53 |
| jst_ | Is it just me, or does Xubuntu run faster with no background image set? | 16:54 |
| Prajwal | hmm background image?? | 16:54 |
| jst_ | Yes. | 16:54 |
| Prajwal | what does it have to do with it ? | 16:54 |
| jst_ | Desktop wallpaper, whatever. | 16:54 |
| jst_ | I don't know, it just seems faster when I don't have one set. | 16:55 |
| Prajwal | is it so large image?? | 16:55 |
| jst_ | It's the default one, so I don't think so. | 16:55 |
| charlie-tca | anybody running a portable computer with Xubuntu that can test a couple of packages? | 16:58 |
| charlie-tca | Packages are in proposed, to fix bugs | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | jst: depending on your system specs, it might be faster without the image | 17:06 |

| DexterF | hi | 20:42 |
| handjob | Well i have not tried to upgrade this way but if You can do it from cd i bet that doing so from usb for example is possible. | 20:42 |
| handjob | Hi. | 20:42 |
| handjob | But don't do it. | 20:42 |
| Name141 | handjob: The old machine wont do that | 20:42 |
| handjob | It sucks. | 20:42 |
| handjob | Name141, no usb boot eh? | 20:42 |
| DexterF | just installed lucid on an old thinkpad. works a charm so far. but -- first linux-laptop, which is the saved state that needs no power? | 20:43 |
| TrueNhero | xubuntu lost his way..... | 20:43 |

| fun2learngnu | Did anyone notice audio problems after upgrading Xubuntu to Lucid? My sound no longer works. | 20:58 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: did you disable pulse perhaps? maye pulse/alsa-libs got overwritten | 21:05 |
| DexterF | !bug | 21:05 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 21:05 |
| fun2learngnu | DexterF: I am trying to work my way through the Comprehensive Sound Solution Guide in teh Ubuntu Forum, but I am stuck. For the solution that you proposed, should I go to Synaptic and reinstall the alsa libs that I find? | 21:14 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: depends on where you came from - was ist alsa or pulse before the upgrade? | 21:15 |
| handjob | HAHA, another one? | 21:16 |
| fun2learngnu | DexterF: To be honest, I don't know. The sound never gave me trouble, so I never messed with it. It was whatever came with Karmic. | 21:17 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: that's pulse then. and should still continue. what sound chip is it? | 21:18 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: and does "doesnt work" mean it doe not make any sound or does it produce errors when trying to play sth? | 21:19 |
| fun2learngnu | DexterF: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/h3fdYtkd By doesn't work, I mean no sound whatsoever. From Exaile and/or the web ie youtube. | 21:22 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: checked all the funny mixer switches and sliders? | 21:23 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: that a laptop? | 21:23 |
| handjob | Ok i just remove pulse and reinstalled alsa. Let's see if this will help. See ya in a minute gentleman. | 21:24 |
| DexterF | f*ck me, this old thinkpad performs better in flash *and* 3D than my main rig, being an athlon dualcore with a geforce 9... | 21:25 |
| fun2learngnu | DexterF: It is not a laptop. It is a desktop: Compaq Presario Deskpro EN (old Pentium III, but runs Xubuntu perfectly---until this sound issue) On the panel is an icon of a speaker, When clicked on it opens the Alsa mixer. It appears that the correct sound card is selected (Intel 82801BA-ICH2) and the master volume is tuned all the way up) I don't see a mute button. | 21:27 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: try alsamixer from a console, has more switches. | 21:28 |
| fun2learngnu | DexterF: by "console" , do you mean the "terminal"? Is that a non-GUI sound mixer? | 21:30 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: yes, console, terminal, whatever. typitype command enter thingy | 21:31 |
| DexterF | ich ess jetzt mal was | 21:32 |
| DexterF | whoops | 21:32 |
| DexterF | wrong window | 21:32 |
| handjob | DexterF, when You will have some spare time You can give me a hand with audio. | 21:32 |
| fun2learngnu | DexterF: Oh wow, that is cool. What should I look for? | 21:33 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: well, look for oddly named switches you never seen before, crank up sliders with names that mean nothing to you | 21:34 |
| DexterF | try random stuff :) | 21:34 |
| jst | Can I just sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio and be done with the whole thing? | 21:37 |
| fun2learngnu | DexterF: Master volume is up all the way. And I turned anything that was down all the way up. | 21:38 |
| handjob | jst, Just did that. Did the trick however only 2 out of my 5 speakers are now working. | 21:38 |
| DexterF | handjob: you need to tell the card to upmix. it should do that in hardware if its no POS | 21:39 |
| DexterF | otherwise youll need to conf... dont ask me, me=alsa, no clue about ppulse | 21:39 |
| jst | handjob, did you fux0r with alsamixer? | 21:39 |
| fun2learngnu | In Synaptic, I noticed I have pulseaudio installed. Should this not be there? | 21:40 |
| DexterF | fun2learngnu: well.... try to figure what the dev name is and cat /dev/urandom there for laughs to see if it does anything *at all*. if that be the case its accepting data | 21:40 |
| handjob | In the morning i was enjoying alsa and 5.1. Now stereo...everything in alsamixer on full power. Apropriate module loaded. | 21:40 |
| DexterF | then its a config thing | 21:40 |
| handjob | DexterF, It seems so however everyting i did to make 5.1. work was tunning up alsamixer settings and now i am bit lost. Any sugestions. I am audio noob. | 21:44 |
| handjob | ? | 21:44 |
| handjob | *Everything i did previously to make it work. | 21:45 |

| Vista1337 | anyone there? | 23:10 |
| DexterF | Vista1337: hey. which linux distro? xubuntu? | 23:14 |
| Vista1337 | yes | 23:14 |
| Vista1337 | i am new at this things | 23:14 |
| Vista1337 | whats the difference? | 23:14 |
| DexterF | well, right channel but not the most crowded one. on *basics* the wiki and forums at ubuntu.com are utterly useful, plus you might bug the bot here (ubottu) | 23:15 |
| Vista1337 | ubottu? | 23:15 |
| Vista1337 | mIRC bot? | 23:15 |
| DexterF | well, the main diff between ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu are that they feature different desktop systems | 23:15 |
| DexterF | like so: | 23:15 |
| DexterF | !aptitude | 23:15 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 23:15 |
| DexterF | but better msg it so the channel doesnt get flooded | 23:16 |
| Vista1337 | aha | 23:16 |
| Vista1337 | !help | 23:16 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:16 |
| DexterF | linux distros are a lot different from windows or macosx in modularity. | 23:16 |
| Vista1337 | yeah | 23:16 |
| DexterF | the three big players are kde, gnome and xfce | 23:16 |
| Vista1337 | I have windows XP pro | 23:17 |
| DexterF | you get to chose - kde and gnome are rather, well, complete while xfce tries to be light | 23:17 |
| Vista1337 | and installing xubuntu on Virtual Machine | 23:17 |
| Vista1337 | ok | 23:17 |
| Vista1337 | brb | 23:17 |
| DexterF | not to mean xfce wasnt complete | 23:18 |
| Vista1337 | what is xfce | 23:18 |
| Vista1337 | like Offece in win? | 23:18 |
| Vista1337 | office* | 23:18 |
| Vista1337 | !xfce | 23:19 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 23:19 |
| DexterF | no.. xfce is a desktop environment, it means: | 23:19 |
| DexterF | it draws the windows, provides buttons, does settings, has tools like... whatnot. from file manager over cd writer to whatever | 23:20 |
| DexterF | desktop environments on linux (solaris, bsd, etc etc) aim to give you a full working environemnt instead of having you search all the programs together from all corners of the web | 23:21 |
| DexterF | plus they are stored in an authenticated central repository. try the "software enter" in the xfce menu when your VM is ready and youll see what i mean | 23:22 |
| DexterF | ist not called a linux _distibution_ as opposed to "operating system" because it's a software collection | 23:22 |
| DexterF | the kernel, a desktop environment (not necessarily, you can have a server without a graphical system at all), tools, stuff. | 23:23 |
| DexterF | if you find Xfce is too alien, you can add gnome or kde to your existing xfce, they can live happily together and you get to decide which one to start in the login screen | 23:24 |
| DexterF | try them, chose the one you like | 23:24 |
| TrueNhero | how can i delete the old kernels? | 23:24 |
| DexterF | TrueNhero: remove linux-image-<kernelversion> | 23:25 |
| DexterF | from software center... or synaptic.. or aptitude... | 23:25 |
| TrueNhero | on synaptic how? | 23:26 |
| DexterF | Vista1337: gotta go, have fun, visit the forums/wiki, ask in #ubuntu, too, for basics, more people there | 23:26 |
| DexterF | TrueNhero: dunno, just list them with sudo aptitude search linux | grep ^i in a terminal then aptitude remove the ones you dont need | 23:27 |
| DexterF | synaptic should have list them quite as well tho | 23:27 |
| DexterF | just search for linux-image | 23:28 |
| DexterF | now off! | 23:28 |
