| neozen | how can one post a bounty to get http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6230 fixed | 01:50 |
| neozen | ? | 01:50 |
| _Techie_ | neozen, i dont think you can post a bounty | 01:51 |
| neozen | oh but I would | 01:52 |
| neozen | must've hit it ~20 times today | 01:52 |
| _Techie_ | neozen, i have no doubt you would | 01:52 |
| _Techie_ | purchasing paid support may help, but i cant gaurantee any results as ive never used this service and never plan to | 01:53 |
| _Techie_ | http://www.ubuntu.com/support/services | 01:53 |
| neozen | its almost enough to make me try to grok C again | 01:53 |
| _Techie_ | hang in there | 01:53 |
| _Techie_ | ive seen bugs come and go | 01:53 |
| neozen | I'm really surprised this one made it into a release..... | 01:54 |
| neozen | do people actually use icon view? :P | 01:54 |
| _Techie_ | im not sure | 01:55 |
| _Techie_ | i myself use gnome on a standard ubuntu install | 01:55 |
| _Techie_ | but i choose to provide help for xubuntu users | 01:55 |
| * neozen nods | 01:55 | |
| neozen | still the same base | 01:55 |
| neozen | a few different default apps | 01:56 |
| _Techie_ | yes, which is why i can provide support for most things | 01:56 |

| skochty | hi | 02:56 |
| om3n5150 | Simple question, anyone to answer? | 03:05 |
| neozen | ............is that a ping? | 03:06 |
| neozen | if yes.... pong | 03:06 |
| om3n5150 | Lol... I guess it kinda was. | 03:07 |
| neozen | !anyone | 03:07 |
| 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? | 03:07 |
| om3n5150 | Pfft I'm new >.> | 03:07 |
| neozen | no worries | 03:07 |
| neozen | its just a bot | 03:07 |
| neozen | and some hard-coded boilerplate | 03:08 |
| neozen | so... what's your question | 03:08 |
| om3n5150 | So, I'm looking for a lightweight media player that supports ffmpeg. I was using MPC in Windows... I liked that. Can I use it now? | 03:08 |
| neozen | I tend to use mplayer | 03:08 |
| om3n5150 | Brand new to the whole linux thing... learning quickly though | 03:08 |
| neozen | I haven't found much that it doesn't support | 03:08 |
| om3n5150 | sounds good to me, thanks | 03:09 |
| om3n5150 | Wrong button... | 03:10 |
| neozen | .....? | 03:10 |
| neozen | be advised.... all input to mplayer is keyboard | 03:11 |
| om3n5150 | sorry, lol. used to a tray... anything near that in ubuntu? | 03:11 |
| om3n5150 | no gui? | 03:11 |
| neozen | if buttons are more your style... use one of the frontends: gmplayer or kmplayer | 03:11 |
| neozen | gnome and kde-based respectively | 03:12 |
| neozen | gmplayer should pull in less | 03:12 |
| neozen | package for gmplayer is mplayer-gui | 03:12 |
| om3n5150 | gmplayer isn't showing up in synaptic? | 03:12 |
| om3n5150 | oh | 03:12 |
| om3n5150 | thanks | 03:12 |
| neozen | no problem | 03:12 |
| neozen | (had to look it up myself) | 03:13 |
| om3n5150 | so for programs, I use this synaptic thing, rather than google for them myself, right? any sort of sources I should add to my source list for packages? | 03:14 |
| neozen | !medibuntu | 03:14 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 03:14 |
| neozen | eg.... libdvdcss | 03:14 |
| neozen | (useful if you want to watch dvds) | 03:15 |
| om3n5150 | ah, I added that one | 03:15 |
| om3n5150 | so libdvdcss, any other useful things I would want? | 03:15 |
| neozen | you'll discover as you go | 03:15 |
| neozen | I've built up a list of packages I install on a clean machine over the years | 03:16 |
| om3n5150 | i found a libdvdcss2, is that what i'm looking for? | 03:16 |
| * neozen nods | 03:16 | |
| om3n5150 | kk | 03:16 |
| neozen | vlc is more useful for dvds then mplayer I've found | 03:16 |
| neozen | but that's based on a few years of bias | 03:16 |
| neozen | they might've fixed the things which irked me by now | 03:16 |
| om3n5150 | alrighty | 03:17 |
| om3n5150 | is there any way to add a custom list of programs(packages?) to my top bar? | 03:18 |
| om3n5150 | Like... Under applications, my own subfolder of selected apps | 03:18 |
| neozen | ahhh | 03:18 |
| neozen | I usually just put launchers on the panel | 03:18 |
| neozen | or set keyboard shortcuts for the really frequent ones | 03:19 |
| neozen | right click on panel.... "Add new items..." | 03:19 |
| neozen | pick Launcher" then give it an icon and a command to run | 03:20 |
| neozen | sound acceptable? | 03:20 |
| om3n5150 | oh awesome, thanks | 03:20 |
| om3n5150 | just got it | 03:20 |
| neozen | the menu (as I understand it) is a pain in the arse to mess w/ | 03:20 |
| neozen | though its getting standardized | 03:21 |
| om3n5150 | I like organization, so trying to find what I want in a list every time is annoying. | 03:21 |
| neozen | there's also xfce4-appfinder | 03:22 |
| neozen | it crawls the menus... so you don't have to | 03:23 |
| om3n5150 | crawl... new term | 03:23 |
| _Techie_ | whats wrong with mplayer-nogui? | 03:23 |
| neozen | he's used to a gui | 03:23 |
| _Techie_ | lol | 03:23 |
| om3n5150 | i'm still learning text commands | 03:23 |
| _Techie_ | use yor keybaord, its easy | 03:23 |
| neozen | space still = pause | 03:24 |
| om3n5150 | i just switch from windows... all this text is scary @_@ | 03:24 |
| neozen | eheh | 03:24 |
| om3n5150 | switched* | 03:24 |
| _Techie_ | righ = skip ahead 10 secs, left = rewind 10 secs, up = skip ahead 1 min, down = rewind 1 min | 03:24 |
| neozen | it grows on you | 03:24 |
| _Techie_ | page up = skip ahead 10 mins, page down = rewind 10 mins | 03:24 |
| neozen | the ability to get what you want QUICKLY w/o having to find the right gui button to push or menu item to click | 03:25 |
| om3n5150 | now I can't get the ffmpeg codec i just installed to show up in mplayer video preferences | 03:25 |
| _Techie_ | space = pause, [ + ] = play sped control, f = fullscreen, shift+t = stay on top | 03:25 |
| neozen | ....... what codec? | 03:25 |
| om3n5150 | ffmpeg | 03:25 |
| _Techie_ | mplayer has its own codecs | 03:25 |
| neozen | exactly | 03:25 |
| _Techie_ | http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ | 03:26 |
| neozen | try playing what you're trying to watch in mplayer first | 03:26 |
| neozen | unlike totem (the default player) it WON'T pull down more codecs on demand | 03:26 |
| om3n5150 | i just need to be able to upconvert | 03:26 |
| neozen | upconvert? | 03:26 |
| _Techie_ | om3n5150, aah, i see | 03:26 |
| _Techie_ | hes trying to do what i do in windows | 03:27 |
| _Techie_ | use ffmpeg to upscale his audio, if im not mistaken | 03:27 |
| om3n5150 | video, but yes | 03:27 |
| om3n5150 | makes a sharper image on my display | 03:27 |
| _Techie_ | soo | 03:27 |
| _Techie_ | oh | 03:27 |
| _Techie_ | post processing filters | 03:27 |
| _Techie_ | fun stuff | 03:27 |
| _Techie_ | for post processing you may wish to use vlc | 03:28 |
| om3n5150 | i know how to make it work with ffmpeg and MPC | 03:28 |
| om3n5150 | but i dont think you can get MPC on ubuntu eh? | 03:28 |
| _Techie_ | good ol' mpc | 03:28 |
| neozen | om3n5150: well... there's wine | 03:28 |
| _Techie_ | no mpc-hc doesnt exist for linux, its purely win32 only | 03:28 |
| neozen | but there's a better way | 03:28 |
| _Techie_ | i would just use VLC | 03:28 |
| * neozen nods | 03:29 | |
| _Techie_ | theres post processing filter built in | 03:29 |
| _Techie_ | very cool stuff | 03:29 |
| om3n5150 | alright, another very simple question. | 03:30 |
| _Techie_ | however, it doesnt quite do the trick for me, as i use ffdshow codecs to upscale all my mp3's and video from 2.0 audio to 5.1 audio | 03:30 |
| om3n5150 | how do i delete packages? | 03:30 |
| neozen | sudo apt-get remove <packagename> | 03:30 |
| _Techie_ | sudo apt-get remove packagename | 03:30 |
| om3n5150 | why thank you lol | 03:30 |
| om3n5150 | maybe i'm getting ffmpeg and ffdshow mixed up | 03:30 |
| neozen | yeah... you remove using a program that has "get" in the name | 03:31 |
| neozen | now that I think of it..... not really all that intuitive... but ::shrugs:: | 03:31 |
| om3n5150 | so what does the apt-get part mean? | 03:31 |
| neozen | also... you were saying you're using synaptic to get / install things | 03:31 |
| _Techie_ | while the naming doesnt make sense in some aspects, from a program point of view it does | 03:31 |
| om3n5150 | yes | 03:31 |
| neozen | apt-get is a command line interface to the same package management system | 03:32 |
| neozen | (apt) | 03:32 |
| _Techie_ | aptitude if you wanna say the whole thing | 03:32 |
| neozen | well... aptitude is ANOTHER frontend | 03:32 |
| _Techie_ | a good one | 03:32 |
| neozen | (more complicated then apt-get) | 03:32 |
| om3n5150 | xD frontend is... | 03:32 |
| neozen | ........::ponders for a good analogy:: | 03:33 |
| _Techie_ | frontend is a GUI that allows you to use a basic program or application easily | 03:33 |
| om3n5150 | oh okay, like the frontend of mplayer was the gui controls | 03:33 |
| * neozen nods | 03:33 | |
| neozen | yeah | 03:33 |
| _Techie_ | eg mplayer, is a command line media player, but you can get frontends which give it a easy to use interface | 03:33 |
| neozen | ....."easy to use" is a relative thing | 03:34 |
| _Techie_ | haha | 03:34 |
| om3n5150 | alright, so does mplayer work with ffdshow? | 03:34 |
| _Techie_ | no | 03:34 |
| neozen | no | 03:34 |
| om3n5150 | or vlc? | 03:34 |
| _Techie_ | VLC doesnt work with ffdshow as per say | 03:34 |
| neozen | ffdshow is a windows thing as I understand it | 03:34 |
| _Techie_ | but it does have its own built in post processing filters | 03:34 |
| _Techie_ | !vlc | 03:34 |
| ubottu | Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 03:34 |
| om3n5150 | alright, time to play in those... | 03:34 |
| _Techie_ | well, thats useful | 03:34 |
| om3n5150 | !codecs | 03:35 |
| ubottu | For 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/FreeFormats | 03:35 |
| _Techie_ | ignore that stuff | 03:35 |
| om3n5150 | links, bleh. too much reading that i'm in the mood for | 03:35 |
| _Techie_ | with VLC it doesnt actually mean jack | 03:35 |
| _Techie_ | VLC has its own built in codecs, like mplayer does | 03:35 |
| _Techie_ | so really, that is a very misleading factoid | 03:35 |
| * neozen nods | 03:35 | |
| * neozen whacks ubotu with a bit of a stick | 03:36 | |
| _Techie_ | neozen, if you catch a moderator around can you request that be removed from triggering on VLC | 03:36 |
| _Techie_ | i gotta go | 03:36 |
| _Techie_ | !mplayer | 03:36 |
| ubottu | mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs | 03:36 |
| om3n5150 | alright, well thanks for the info =] | 03:36 |
| _Techie_ | cool, !mplayer is fine | 03:36 |
| _Techie_ | anyway, catcha | 03:37 |
| om3n5150 | so the post processing filters in vlc, what am i looking for in the menu? | 03:37 |
| om3n5150 | i have it up | 03:37 |
| _Techie_ | om3n5150, if you see me lurking in here feel free to ask for help, if im at my computer ill help ya out | 03:37 |
| neozen | 1sec | 03:37 |
| _Techie_ | umm | 03:37 |
| om3n5150 | alright thanks =] | 03:37 |
| _Techie_ | neozen, you seem to have a handle on this | 03:37 |
| _Techie_ | cya | 03:37 |
| om3n5150 | later | 03:37 |
| neozen | (just installed lynx so vlc hasn't been installed yet) | 03:38 |
| _Techie_ | [ _Techie_ ] is away, rollerblading into town | 03:38 |
| neozen | basically haven't needed it yet :P | 03:38 |
| neozen | generally use the ps3 for dvds these days | 03:38 |
| * neozen fires up vlc | 03:38 | |
| om3n5150 | lol, I have a library of movies on my other HDD, so ill need it soon | 03:39 |
| neozen | open a movie | 03:39 |
| om3n5150 | wtb a 2.5in 1tb | 03:39 |
| om3n5150 | or a 2.5in 32gb SSD | 03:39 |
| om3n5150 | either would be nice =] | 03:39 |
| neozen | under Video menu... many things under Post processing | 03:39 |
| neozen | play around and find a setting you like | 03:40 |
| om3n5150 | i dont see post processing... | 03:40 |
| om3n5150 | nvm... simple menu ftl | 03:40 |
| neozen | .... on bottom of video menu in my case (though its grayed out since I'm not playing anything) | 03:40 |
| neozen | any other questions about vlc? | 03:42 |
| neozen | before I remove it? | 03:42 |
| om3n5150 | naw, lol, thanks | 03:42 |
| arthurjohnson | Xubuntu is like 1.8 gigs installed right? | 03:43 |
| neozen | sounds heavy.... but these days... yeah .. probably | 03:43 |
| neozen | it's been getting fatter | 03:43 |
| arthurjohnson | Well, Ubuntu Netbook Remix is almost 3 gigs. | 03:43 |
| om3n5150 | i have to go for a while, thanks for the help neozen, ill probably be on later scratching my head at all this new stuff. | 03:43 |
| om3n5150 | have fun =] | 03:43 |
| neozen | np om3n5150 | 03:43 |
| arthurjohnson | On an Eee 901A, with a 4 gig SSD, thats like everything. | 03:44 |
| neozen | have fun | 03:44 |
| neozen | arthurjohnson: no doubt | 03:44 |
| neozen | arthurjohnson: http://lxde.org/ | 03:45 |
| neozen | can always start from command-line only install and add only what you know you'll use | 03:45 |
| arthurjohnson | My daughter keeps running out of space. She has an Eee 901A with a 4gig SSD | 03:46 |
| arthurjohnson | neozen: That method works great for people who know what they are doing, but she is only 10. Can't expect her to run a package manager all day every day just to get her desktop usable. | 03:46 |
| neozen | splitting off /home onto its own partition helps keep large files in userspace from filling up / too | 03:46 |
| neozen | arthurjohnson: heh... its true | 03:46 |
| neozen | http://lxde.org/ | 03:47 |
| neozen | arthurjohnson: they claim to be lighter these days... perhaps it'll work better for your needs | 03:47 |
| arthurjohnson | neozen: I didn't care for Lubuntu. It was okay, but lacked for me. | 03:48 |
| neozen | arthurjohnson: same here | 03:48 |
| arthurjohnson | Felt like Xfce4 4.0 | 03:48 |
| neozen | arthurjohnson: but if space is a concern... you have to sacrifice something to get lighter | 03:48 |
| neozen | command-line installs are VERY light | 03:48 |
| neozen | but.... they're command-line only | 03:48 |
| neozen | its tradeoffs all the way down | 03:49 |
| arthurjohnson | neozen: Oh, I know. Check it: http://leanubuntu.blogspot.com | 03:49 |
| arthurjohnson | <--- Thats me | 03:49 |
| neozen | nice | 03:49 |
| arthurjohnson | So your preaching to the choir ;) | 03:49 |
| arthurjohnson | I have several machines that I run from cli + just what I need. | 03:49 |
| arthurjohnson | Compaq Presario 700 (500 mhz and 256 megs ram) and it boots in under 40 seconds | 03:50 |
| neozen | heh | 03:50 |
| neozen | but again... as you said.... some want it small AND simple | 03:51 |
| neozen | and that's...... hard | 03:51 |
| neozen | s/simple/easy to use for beginners/ | 03:51 |
| arthurjohnson | But I don't want to stick my daughter, who is still learning the craft, with a cli only system. It would work great for me, but I want my baby to have a full desktop. | 03:51 |
| * neozen nods | 03:51 | |
| arthurjohnson | I mean cli+xfce4+whatever | 03:51 |
| arthurjohnson | You know I won't get everything she needs. | 03:51 |
| neozen | nope | 03:52 |
| arthurjohnson | "Hey, where's the PDF reader" | 03:52 |
| arthurjohnson | and so on. | 03:52 |
| neozen | running out of space on / the first few times is part of running on a small machine :P | 03:52 |
| arthurjohnson | Indeed! | 03:52 |
| neozen | and where, as I see it, valuable bugs can be filed | 03:53 |
| arthurjohnson | Still, Ubuntu Netbook Remix should have an option for a leaner install. | 03:53 |
| neozen | b/c if I EVER fill up a production linux server.... I expect it to be graceful and let me un-bork it | 03:53 |
| arthurjohnson | I had that problem with Ensim + Clamav EOL | 03:55 |
| neozen | arthurjohnson: good blog.... consider yourself watched :P | 03:55 |
| arthurjohnson | Hard drives filled up on about 30 machines. Spent 18 hours fixint it. | 03:55 |
| arthurjohnson | neozen: Thanks ;) | 03:55 |
| neozen | I run xu on older machines but nothing actually in its target area (ie... I have a gb of ram and a 1.4ghz processor) | 03:56 |
| neozen | all this means for me is when MY machine runs/boots xu slowly... something is REALLY messed up | 03:57 |
| arthurjohnson | I'm running Xubuntu 10.04 on a Core2Duo 2.8 with 2 gigs of RAM. It screams. | 03:58 |
| * neozen nods | 03:58 | |
| arthurjohnson | At one point I was running a cli+xfce4 on it. It was stupid fast! | 03:58 |
| neozen | well... yeah | 03:59 |
| neozen | well... time to head out for the night | 04:02 |

| NoradIV | a bit tired, since its about 1.30 AM here | 06:31 |
| moetunes | 3.30 pm and i have my first beer in my hand :] | 06:31 |
| NoradIV | whoa! starting early boy XD | 06:32 |
| NoradIV | eum, as you probably already figured out, I'm here because I have a problem :-( | 06:32 |
| moetunes | that's ok :] | 06:33 |
| moetunes | it's what the channel is for norad | 06:33 |
| moetunes | IV | 06:33 |
| NoradIV | As many, I'm trying to recycle an old crappy laptop | 06:33 |
| NoradIV | Its an Toshiba portg 3490CT | 06:33 |
| om3n5150 | yessir, thanks =] | 06:33 |
| NoradIV | and the problem is that it wont boot on CD | 06:34 |
| NoradIV | I tried Debian, and it install (probably because the nogui install) but id wont work with Xubuntu 9.10 CD | 06:34 |
| _Techie_ | NoradIV, does it support booting from CD? | 06:34 |
| NoradIV | I suppose not | 06:35 |
| _Techie_ | i mean USB* | 06:35 |
| NoradIV | no | 06:35 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm | 06:35 |
| _Techie_ | netboot? | 06:35 |
| NoradIV | not either | 06:35 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm | 06:35 |
| moetunes | http://yellowsub.wordpress.com/2007/07/28/i-did-it-i-installed-ubuntu-linux-onto-the-toshiba-portege-3490ct/ | 06:35 |
| moetunes | might help... | 06:36 |
| NoradIV | Here i see 2 problems, | 06:37 |
| _Techie_ | !netboot | 06:37 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 06:37 |
| NoradIV | there is the fact that my laptop have only debian core installed, and I have an Xircom PCMCIA network card only | 06:37 |
| NoradIV | oh ho | 06:38 |
| NoradIV | i like this | 06:38 |
| NoradIV | Can read from CD-ROM but will not boot | 06:38 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm | 06:38 |
| NoradIV | but here is another problem | 06:38 |
| NoradIV | i dont have a floppy either XD | 06:38 |
| om3n5150 | hey, so techie, i'm still confused on what exactly i need to upscale video quality. i googled around and found that mplayer can do it, but all i found was some script info, which doesn't really tell me much. any ideas? | 06:38 |
| _Techie_ | om3n5150, well, as far as upscaling goes, by definition its impossible | 06:39 |
| NoradIV | tell me when you are back to me | 06:39 |
| _Techie_ | the only thing you can do is add filters | 06:39 |
| _Techie_ | which you still want to use VLC for | 06:39 |
| om3n5150 | alright, well go ahead and help NoradIV, ill wait =] | 06:40 |
| NoradIV | there is no hurry man, you were here before me! | 06:40 |
| om3n5150 | i've been here half the day ;D | 06:40 |
| _Techie_ | !names | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu has an $adjective $animal naming scheme, summarized (and with a list of suggested words which you can add to) at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames | 06:40 |
| NoradIV | oh... lol | 06:40 |
| NoradIV | well | 06:40 |
| _Techie_ | okay, not the faction i was after | 06:40 |
| _Techie_ | factiod* | 06:41 |
| NoradIV | what about the alternate CD | 06:41 |
| om3n5150 | lols | 06:41 |
| om3n5150 | goodwill has floppy drives for under $1 =D | 06:41 |
| * om3n5150 whistles | 06:41 | |
| NoradIV | but there is no place tu put it XD this laptop is so tiny | 06:42 |
| om3n5150 | usb | 06:42 |
| NoradIV | dont work | 06:42 |
| NoradIV | its a P3 733 | 06:42 |
| om3n5150 | oh, cant get drivers huh | 06:42 |
| NoradIV | with the crappyest bios i ever saw | 06:42 |
| NoradIV | toshiba ones | 06:42 |
| om3n5150 | p3 733.... old i suppose? | 06:42 |
| NoradIV | came with a win2k key | 06:43 |
| om3n5150 | that's not TOO bad... | 06:43 |
| NoradIV | lol | 06:43 |
| NoradIV | I wish I wasent anymore a student, so I may have money, and I may have a proper EEPC | 06:43 |
| NoradIV | or an ASUS | 06:44 |
| om3n5150 | the most practical use would be a paperweight... or give it to a son or daughter to take to elemtary school. it will increase their popularity tenfold. | 06:44 |
| NoradIV | well, I intent to make an Starcraft Console with it | 06:44 |
| om3n5150 | ehhhh, i've heard asus mobos are junk | 06:44 |
| NoradIV | plait-il? | 06:44 |
| moetunes | seems the only option for the portege 3490ct is the pxe boot | 06:45 |
| NoradIV | thoses are the best price/product i-ve seen | 06:45 |
| NoradIV | pxe? | 06:45 |
| moetunes | !pxe | 06:45 |
| NoradIV | vas ist das? | 06:45 |
| om3n5150 | There are several ways computers can boot over a network, but the one mandated by PC99 is called PXE. PXE is a kind of DHCP extension, so all you need is an up-to-date DHCP server and a TFTP server. | 06:46 |
| * om3n5150 wanted to sound smart too | 06:46 | |
| NoradIV | that was i thought XD | 06:46 |
| NoradIV | there is an brain fart over there XD | 06:47 |
| om3n5150 | i much prefer this channel over #ubuntu... even though i'm not even running xubuntu. | 06:47 |
| NoradIV | I have an PFSence router, thats probably ok | 06:47 |
| NoradIV | i guess | 06:47 |
| NoradIV | so how i do that? | 06:48 |
| moetunes | http://yellowsub.wordpress.com/2008/01/13/successfully-installed-ubuntu-on-another-toshiba-portege-3490ct/ | 06:48 |
| om3n5150 | alright, well moetunes has norad, so techie, about vlc options | 06:49 |
| moetunes | lots of links today from me - google.com/linux ftw | 06:49 |
| NoradIV | ok | 06:50 |
| NoradIV | i get it | 06:50 |
| NoradIV | I have to Install the core of ubuntu | 06:50 |
| NoradIV | then | 06:50 |
| NoradIV | install the Xserver | 06:50 |
| NoradIV | right? | 06:50 |
| NoradIV | I feel soooooo stupid since I tried Linux | 06:51 |
| moetunes | NoradIV: I didn't read the links just copy/pasted them mate - I don't have that lappy... | 06:52 |
| NoradIV | I'm kinda hot with windows | 06:52 |
| om3n5150 | hmm? | 06:52 |
| om3n5150 | dude me too | 06:52 |
| NoradIV | but | 06:52 |

| NoradIV | like | 06:53 |
| moetunes | NoradIV: you need a comp on the lan running windows - do you have one? | 06:53 |
| om3n5150 | lol, i just like playing on a different OS | 06:53 |
| NoradIV | yes | 06:53 |
| NoradIV | when I saw Win7 at 400 buck, I grew so insulted | 06:54 |
| NoradIV | that I said that there is other possibility | 06:54 |
| moetunes | NoradIV: I'm following this link - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=327597 - does your lappy have pxe boot capabilities(it should have since this link is about that lappy - the bios should tell) | 06:55 |
| om3n5150 | _Techie_, did you get off? | 06:55 |
| _Techie_ | huh? | 06:55 |
| om3n5150 | nevermind then ;D | 06:56 |
| om3n5150 | just was wondering if you could help with the vlc settings, if you arent busy | 06:56 |
| NoradIV | its just written LAN | 06:56 |
| _Techie_ | well, im gonna be leaving to go dancing then heading to a party in about 5 minutes | 06:56 |
| NoradIV | there is a ooops there | 06:56 |

| NoradIV | i have the extension | 06:57 |
| om3n5150 | alright, well have fun, lol | 06:58 |
| NoradIV | I'll try that | 06:58 |
| NoradIV | then I'll come back tommorow if it dosent work, ok? | 06:59 |
| moetunes | NoradIV: you need to install http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ on the windows comp | 06:59 |
| moetunes | k | 06:59 |
| NoradIV | well | 07:06 |
| NoradIV | I'm trying the alternate install CD | 07:06 |
| NoradIV | and its working | 07:06 |
| NoradIV | so | 07:06 |
| NoradIV | sorry for wasting your time | 07:06 |
| moetunes | NoradIV: glad you found a way :] | 07:07 |
| om3n5150 | NoradIV, yay you win! | 07:18 |
| NoradIV | well | 07:18 |
| NoradIV | its installing now | 07:18 |
| NoradIV | its not over, until its over | 07:19 |

| eLBati | ciao | 09:01 |
| eLBati | can't login to xubuntu 10.04 live | 09:01 |
| eLBati | user ubuntu with blank pass doesn't work | 09:02 |
| moetunes | you shouldn't get that screen - did you do the cd chack? | 09:03 |
| moetunes | or check even | 09:03 |
| eLBati | what is the cd chack? | 09:03 |
| psycho_oreos | he meant check | 09:04 |
| eLBati | downloaded xubuntu 10.04 , burned , started live | 09:04 |
| psycho_oreos | where did you get that copy of 10.04 from? | 09:04 |
| moetunes | at the boot you have the option to do a cd check - it is a good idea | 09:04 |
| eLBati | psycho_oreos, http://xubuntu.org/getubuntu | 09:05 |
| moetunes | it checks the burn - burners are sooo cheap I think they cut corners | 09:05 |
| eLBati | I'll check cd | 09:05 |
| moetunes | that'swhat normally gives that error | 09:06 |
| moetunes | here's the I forgot | 09:06 |
| psycho_oreos | eLBati, weird | 09:06 |
| eLBati | ;-) | 09:07 |
| moetunes | eLBati: always do the cd write at the slowest speed too - 4x is best from my experience | 09:09 |
| eLBati | moetunes, maybe I have a ramshackle cd reader | 09:11 |
| eLBati | it's old | 09:12 |
| moetunes | eLBati: more than likely the writer is to blame | 09:12 |
| moetunes | but some readers don't like cd's written on other drives | 09:12 |
| moetunes | hard to say from here :] | 09:13 |
| eLBati | moetunes, ;-) | 09:14 |
| eLBati | moetunes, just tried on another pc. xubuntu live works (without login screen) | 09:19 |
| eLBati | cd reader deceased | 09:19 |
| moetunes | eLBati: well there you go then - sorry for you mate | 09:20 |
| eLBati | :-) | 09:20 |
| psycho_oreos | at least you solved that issue :) | 09:21 |
| PrebenR | anybody here have problem with that thunar doesn't show usb devices? I have this behavior now on 3 different computers amd64,i386, eee all after going to 10.04 | 09:30 |
| moetunes | PrebenR: thunar has some probs in 10.04 apparently - only seen issues in passing - never seen the usb one tho | 09:32 |
| PrebenR | seems that this is a issue many have | 09:33 |
| PrebenR | but it seems to be ubuntu | 09:33 |
| PrebenR | I mean seems people also see it in gnome desktop | 09:33 |
| mr_pouit | it's a known bug of hal in lucid | 09:33 |
| psycho_oreos | wasn't lucid supposed to be hal-free? | 09:34 |
| mr_pouit | no | 09:34 |
| psycho_oreos | hmm ok my bad | 09:34 |
| mr_pouit | (not for xubuntu) | 09:34 |
| mr_pouit | PrebenR: Bug #546992 | 09:35 |
| PrebenR | ok will test what is suggested | 09:37 |
| PrebenR | rebooting | 09:37 |

| slow-motion | hi | 12:03 |
| dreamer | hello | 12:10 |
| dreamer | can I set how many colors for the screen ? | 12:11 |
| psycho_oreos | screen as in the actual `screen' program itself? | 12:11 |
| dreamer | I don't understand | 12:12 |
| dreamer | I'm root | 12:12 |
| dreamer | I want to set low color | 12:12 |
| psycho_oreos | I don't understand what you mean by screen in this context, you mean in GUI? | 12:12 |
| dreamer | in X | 12:13 |
| psycho_oreos | ahh ok, not sure, I think 16bpp is the lowest palette | 12:13 |
| psycho_oreos | bleh scratch that | 12:13 |
| dreamer | 16bpp is 16'000'000 ? | 12:13 |
| dreamer | 16 bit per pixel ? | 12:14 |
| dreamer | where can I set it | 12:14 |
| psycho_oreos | yeah but that could be just resolution (i.e. screen size, which I could be mistaken) | 12:14 |
| psycho_oreos | why not just use vesa driver instead? | 12:14 |
| dreamer | I use a pc for linux media center | 12:15 |
| dreamer | I need proprietary driver of nvidia | 12:15 |
| dreamer | but I want to use not a true color | 12:15 |
| dreamer | my tv not have hd | 12:16 |
| psycho_oreos | well if you installed the proprietary nvidia driver, you should get nvidia x server settings appearing under system menu | 12:17 |
| dreamer | yes | 12:20 |
| dreamer | but it don't work | 12:20 |
| dreamer | I try to write a configuration manually to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:20 |
| psycho_oreos | well if nvidia x server settings doesn't work, you're probably not using nvidia driver | 12:20 |
| dreamer | lol | 12:20 |
| dreamer | I use a nvidia driver, but the nvidia server setting can't wrtite a configuration to xorg.conf | 12:21 |
| dreamer | probably it must be run as root | 12:21 |
| dreamer | I think | 12:22 |
| dreamer | (or with sudo) | 12:22 |
| psycho_oreos | probably better with gksu/gksudo :p | 12:22 |
| dreamer | yes | 12:22 |
| dreamer | also the setting to autostart must be run with gksudo | 12:23 |
| dreamer | becouse if I can to add program by user it can't write a configuration | 12:24 |
| psycho_oreos | normally it should ask for user password | 12:24 |
| psycho_oreos | personally I have not encountered such issues installing proprietary drivers via jockey | 12:25 |
| ocs | hi, I insalled 10.04 some days ago. I'm noting that this version is full of bugs and problems which are not present in 9.10. Is there a feedback for that? | 13:09 |
| ocs | for example... thunar is really instable! | 13:11 |
| arthurjohnson | ocs: I'm running Xubuntu on six workstations, I've not noticed any major bugs other than Hald on my upgrade machines. | 13:15 |
| arthurjohnson | Did you look at http://www.launchpad.net | 13:15 |
| ocs | arthurjohnson: what's hald? | 13:16 |
| arthurjohnson | Its what thunar needs to manage volumes like removable drives. | 13:16 |
| ocs | arthurjohnson: I don't understand if you experienced my same problem | 13:18 |
| ocs | arthurjohnson: I see that there are too many bugs... I wonder if someone else experienced that and switched to 9.10 | 13:20 |
| arthurjohnson | ocs: Like I said, I have it running on six radicaly different workstations. I'm not seeing excessive instability. | 13:28 |
| arthurjohnson | ocs: Why don't you take each problem your having, and lets tackle them one at a time. | 13:29 |
| arthurjohnson | ocs: As in, take one problem, state the symptoms, and we will do our best to assist you in repairing it. | 13:29 |
| ocs | arthurjohnson: I would do that if problems are few. | 13:30 |
| ocs | since there's a sea of problems, I can't do that | 13:30 |
| arthurjohnson | Well, your unique. I'm not experiencing a sea of problems. | 13:31 |
| arthurjohnson | Xubuntu couldn't be better for me | 13:31 |
| arthurjohnson | Also, this is a support channel, not the complaint department. All comments and complaints should be directed at the #xubuntu-offtopic channel. | 13:33 |
| arthurjohnson | Our goal here is to assist people with specific problems in relation to Xubuntu | 13:33 |
| ocs | arthurjohnson: xubuntu is excellent for me too (the old version). please understand that I'm not here in order to complain: I noted so much problems that it seemed strange for me. therefore I asked a feedback. For example, thunar many times opens but doesn't allow to open subdirs! In addition panels often cover windows corners and so on | 13:38 |
| ocs | arthurjohnson: note that I use (k/x)ubuntu since a lot of time... and It's the first time that I see so much instability in the newest stable version | 13:39 |

| charlie-tca | gigolo | 18:55 |
| charlie-tca | in Applications - system menu | 18:55 |
| charlie-tca | or if not on lucid - remote file systems | 18:55 |
| lucas-arg | charlie-tca: with that i can see and share? or just see? | 18:56 |
| charlie-tca | should be both see and share | 18:56 |
| charlie-tca | in #ubuntu-classroom in 4 minutes, How to participate remotely at an Ubuntu Developer Summit | 18:57 |
| lucas-arg | charlie-tca: i dont see any option to share... | 18:57 |
| lucas-arg | charlie-tca: do i need to install samba? | 18:58 |
| charlie-tca | I believe so, but I don't use samba or gigolo myself | 18:58 |
| charlie-tca | !gigolo | 18:58 |
| charlie-tca | !share | 18:58 |
| lucas-arg | !samba | 18:59 |

| ]Spectre[ | hi,I'm having troubles with the lastest xubuntu live cd,after the boot up,when I push on "install xubuntu on hard-drive" I get a pop up windows that tell me "live-install",and nothing more | 18:59 |
| ]Spectre[ | Any suggestion ? thanks | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | try installing from the desktop, then? | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | no, sorry | 19:00 |
| ]Spectre[ | I have also tried to run the live-cd,but I get the same problem,a pop-up with a message,and nothing more | 19:00 |
| charlie-tca | Try installing using a terminal, 'ubiquity --debug' | 19:01 |
| ]Spectre[ | my pc is an athlon 1400 plus 1gb of ram | 19:01 |
| ]Spectre[ | thanks,I'll try it | 19:01 |
| George_E | What length of time would be considered excessive for a Xubuntu boot? | 19:29 |
| George_E | Cuz I'm at about 20-25 minutes so far. | 19:29 |
| George_E | * boot from the CD, of course | 19:29 |
| charlie-tca | 30 minutes? Depends on the machine. I have one that takes about 8 minutes to show anything, and a full 22 minutes to gdm | 19:29 |
| George_E | Oh, okay. | 19:30 |
| George_E | It's quite old... I assume a HD install would make it quicker? | 19:30 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: I would recommend the alt installer | 19:30 |
| George_E | Alt installer? | 19:30 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: What are your specs? | 19:30 |
| charlie-tca | yes, George_E, it does | 19:30 |
| charlie-tca | same machine after installing boots in about 3 minutes | 19:31 |
| George_E | Pentium MMX ~200 MHz | 19:31 |
| George_E | 160 MB RAM | 19:31 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: Yes, there is a text based installer. | 19:31 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: ouch, thats not going to run Xubuntu very well at all | 19:31 |
| George_E | ATI Radeon 9600 Video Card w/ 128 onboard RAM | 19:31 |
| charlie-tca | 160MB won't allow the desktop installer to work. It will freeze up | 19:31 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: Check out my blog: http://leanubuntu.blogspot.com/ | 19:31 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: your going to need to do a Command Line install and then add just what you need. | 19:32 |
| George_E | I'm looking at the desktop right now... sort of. | 19:32 |
| George_E | All I see is a blue tree and the cursor is an X | 19:32 |
| charlie-tca | should be able to use the alternate installer, but the desktop is going to be really slowwwwww | 19:32 |
| George_E | A command line install? | 19:32 |
| George_E | I just want to try it. | 19:32 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: Check out the blog link. It explains it pretty well | 19:32 |
| George_E | Without installing. | 19:33 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: Those specifications are not enough to try Xubuntu. You might want to try Lubuntu. | 19:33 |
| George_E | The Gnome panel appeared! Hooray! | 19:33 |
| George_E | Man, it's slow. | 19:33 |
| charlie-tca | ahem..., that's xfce panel in xubuntu | 19:33 |
| George_E | arthurjohnson: Lubuntu? | 19:33 |
| George_E | charlie: Oh yeah. | 19:34 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: http://lubuntu.net/ | 19:34 |
| charlie-tca | I was able to see the livecd desktop with 128MB ram, so be patient | 19:35 |
| arthurjohnson | charlie-tca: How long did it take to start Firefox on that beast? | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | I could even run an application at a time. (one) | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | we don't like to talk about that | 19:35 |
| George_E | It probably didn't help that I used a CD-RW to burn the ISO to. | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | ouch | 19:36 |
| George_E | The icons appeared! | 19:36 |
| * charlie-tca thinks George_E is braver than himself | 19:36 | |
| * George_E is not brave - just determined | 19:36 | |
| charlie-tca | It only takes a few minutes to get firefox to start (5-10) | 19:36 |
| arthurjohnson | I threw out all my Pentium stuff five years ago. | 19:36 |
| George_E | I'm not even going to try Firefox :) | 19:37 |
| charlie-tca | that's what I got | 19:37 |
| charlie-tca | P2, p3, p4 | 19:37 |
| arthurjohnson | I only have Duron's and Pentium D machines in my house any more. | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | P4's are fast here | 19:38 |
| George_E | So, I see that Lubuntu is using x11. | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | The P2 is to find the minumums for Xubuntu. That's the one I try with 64MB, 128MB, 160MB, 256MB ram | 19:39 |
| slow-motion | hi | 19:39 |
| George_E | 64 MB RAM :O | 19:40 |
| charlie-tca | Got to know if it will work | 19:40 |
| charlie-tca | ;-) | 19:40 |
| George_E | Did it? | 19:40 |
| George_E | Is there a screenshot of Lubuntu in action? Just curious... | 19:41 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: I would try their website. It was just a suggestion, I don't use nor support Lubuntu. | 19:42 |
| George_E | Hey, I found a glitch, I think - the display is off-center slightly and I have to manually correct it with my LCD controls. | 19:42 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: I know their suggested minimum requirements are PII and 128 megs of ram. | 19:42 |
| charlie-tca | no :-( | 19:42 |
| charlie-tca | George_E: yes, it depends on the actual video card | 19:43 |
| George_E | This happens with all the other linux distros I use, though - common problem I guess. | 19:43 |
| arthurjohnson | charlie-tca: I don't even think a cli+xfce4 would work on 64 megs of ram, at least not well. | 19:43 |
| charlie-tca | Not well | 19:43 |
| charlie-tca | Pretty much kills any gui | 19:44 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: Thats the fault of the monitor. Most LCD's have an autoadjust button, I have to hit mine usually. | 19:44 |
| arthurjohnson | George_E: On Win or Lin | 19:44 |
| George_E | Ya - I have another really small distro that runs nicely on the machine. | 19:44 |
| George_E | I think it uses xvesa. | 19:44 |
| charlie-tca | Try it with my 4mb stb riva128 card... ;-) | 19:45 |
| George_E | No thanks. | 19:45 |
| charlie-tca | It does still work, though. | 19:46 |
| George_E | Maybe text mode isn't so bad :) I need the GUI, though... it's not really for me anyway. | 19:46 |
| MantelisB | Hello | 20:19 |
| MantelisB | If I will start Installing Xubunt in my PC over Linux (When I put CD I saw that I can do that) so it will automaticaly takes space from my Windows, creates new disk and install it? | 20:20 |
| MantelisB | Or it will install just in Windows, like Virtual Machine? | 20:20 |
| MantelisB | Sorry s/over Linux/over Windows | 20:21 |
| charlie-tca | You have a choice between installing in windows or installing separately from windows | 20:22 |
| MantelisB | Hmm, ok. Going to try. | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | You can have it install in a separate partition along side of windows and dual boot to either one | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | Make sure you have a backup of windows first | 20:24 |
| MantelisB | charlie-tca, maybe you know or Xubuntu is friendly with USB Wireless adapter? | 20:26 |
| charlie-tca | Some work, some don't. | 20:27 |
| charlie-tca | MantelisB: I don't use one, so it is hard for me to say for sure | 20:28 |
| MantelisB | Ok, I understand. Anyway, I buy Adapter which was (writed on documents) friendly with Linux. | 20:28 |
| MantelisB | So, hope so Linux will be friendly too :) | 20:28 |
| charlie-tca | should be | 20:29 |
| charlie-tca | Most are working now | 20:29 |
| MantelisB | charlie-tca, I not really understand which I have to choice: | 20:32 |
| MantelisB | Try demo or install Full /or/ install inside windows | 20:32 |
| MantelisB | ? | 20:32 |
| MantelisB | To either is writed almost same things.. :/ | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | try first, make sure it works. Install can be inside windows or you can replace windows or you partition the hard drive and have both windows and Xubuntu | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | Install inside windows is easiest. It is just like installing anything else in windows, then. | 20:36 |
| lucas-arg1 | hello... im missing some icons in ubuntu software center... is it fixable? | 20:39 |
| lucas-arg1 | !missing icons | 20:42 |
| Sysi | what kinda icons and where? | 20:42 |
| Sysi | do you use default icon set? | 20:43 |
| lucas-arg1 | Sysi: in Ubuntu Software Center | 20:43 |
| lucas-arg1 | if i click in any category sub-categories icons does not show | 20:44 |
| lucas-arg1 | Sysi: http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/3608/capturadepantalla.jpg | 20:47 |
| Sysi | interesting.. it works for me | 20:48 |
| Sysi | is it always like that? | 20:48 |
| lucas-arg1 | Sysi: its a clean installation of xubuntu, could it be because its in spanish? | 20:49 |
| Sysi | i guess not | 20:49 |
| lucas-arg1 | then im lost | 20:50 |
| lucas-arg1 | ill try changing language and see what happens, synaptic doesnt work in spanish either | 20:50 |
| lucas-arg1 | i mean, search with search button and try to apply changes, it gives errors... first time i have problems with language so i guessed that could be the problem | 20:50 |
| lucas-arg | tried changing language, but didint resolve it | 20:57 |
| lucas-arg | i think its a bug | 20:57 |
| MantelisB | Mmmm | 22:25 |
| MantelisB | I installed my Xubuntu, but I don't know my root password. | 22:25 |
| MantelisB | Maybe it's set by default? | 22:25 |
| Sysi | use sudo | 22:26 |
| Sysi | !sudo | 22:26 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:26 |
| knome | MantelisB, your "root" password is the same as your first account pw | 22:26 |
| MantelisB | Login to root with "su", yes? | 22:26 |
| knome | MantelisB, you should not "login" to root in ubuntu | 22:26 |
| Sysi | sudo -i | 22:27 |
| MantelisB | knome, why? :) | 22:28 |
| knome | MantelisB, that's how ubuntu is built. if you need to run something as root, use sudo | 22:30 |
| knome | MantelisB, not logging in as root is safer for your computer | 22:30 |
| === nikolam__ is now known as nikolam | ||
| MantelisB | knome, I know, but I need it. | 23:03 |
| MantelisB | Because now I can't configure my bluetooth.. I need make file in /etc/bluetooth/pin | 23:04 |
| MantelisB | And I can't do that with sudo.. | 23:04 |
| knome | why not? | 23:04 |
| MantelisB | And When I try in console: "su" and write my user password it fails. | 23:04 |
| MantelisB | :/ | 23:04 |
| MantelisB | I don't know, no permission. | 23:04 |
| knome | 'sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/pin' ? | 23:04 |
| MantelisB | I tried 'sudo echo "1234" > /etc/bluetooth/pin" | 23:05 |
| MantelisB | But I will try your way too | 23:05 |
| MantelisB | Thanks, your way is working. | 23:07 |
| MantelisB | But why "vi" is not working ? :/ | 23:07 |
| MantelisB | Maybe I should add some permissions? | 23:08 |
| Sysi | you may need to install it | 23:09 |
| knome | 'sudo vi /etc/bluetooth/pin' ;) | 23:09 |
| ksos | hi there | 23:25 |
| ksos | xubuntu is it take less space ? | 23:25 |
| charlie-tca | less space than what? | 23:26 |
| ksos | kubuntu | 23:27 |
| ksos | ubuntu ? | 23:27 |
| charlie-tca | yes, it does take between 30-50% less disk space than those | 23:27 |
| ksos | how to install xubuntu ? | 23:29 |
| charlie-tca | down from http://xubuntu.org/get | 23:29 |
| ksos | no i don't want to download and install as normaly | 23:32 |
| ksos | i want to do different install | 23:32 |
| ksos | how to install via terminal ? | 23:32 |
| charlie-tca | You would google that and see if it is possible | 23:32 |
| charlie-tca | We don't support such a method | 23:33 |
| Sysi | alternate installer is text-based | 23:33 |
| ksos | 23:33 | |
| ksos | no i just only want to install via terminal | 23:33 |
| knome | ksos, do you have a ubuntu system already installed? | 23:33 |
| ksos | yes | 23:34 |
| knome | 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' will install everything you would get with a normal xubuntu installation | 23:34 |
| knome | !purexfce | ksos, to remove other packages, see: | 23:35 |
| ubottu | ksos, to remove other packages, see:: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 23:35 |
| ksos | ok thanks knome | 23:35 |
| ksos | i try that | 23:35 |
| ksos | bye | 23:35 |
| knome | no problem | 23:35 |
| xubuntu072 | Hi folks. Xubunto n00b here. Anyone awake? | 23:42 |
| xubuntu072 | Anyone? | 23:42 |
| xubuntu072 | Yes? No? | 23:43 |
| _Techie_ | yeah | 23:44 |
| xubuntu072 | I'm installing Xubuntu at this very moment, and have a question or three. | 23:44 |
| _Techie_ | fire away | 23:44 |
| xubuntu072 | OK, thank you. | 23:44 |
| xubuntu072 | Now... problem(s) I've had are: hmm... how to explain? | 23:45 |
| xubuntu072 | I'd start by installing Ubuntu, then (using Synaptic) would install Xfce and all. | 23:46 |
| xubuntu072 | Gnome would disappear. | 23:46 |
| _Techie_ | what version> | 23:46 |
| xubuntu072 | Anyone know why? 'Cuz I kinda like having both. | 23:46 |
| xubuntu072 | Version? 10.04 | 23:47 |
| xubuntu072 | It did the same thing with 9.10 though. | 23:47 |
| charlie-tca | When you login, at the bottom should be a tab labeled 'session'. You don't have Ǵnome in there? | 23:47 |
| xubuntu072 | Initially I'd see Gnome and xterm. After rebooting I'd see Xfce, KDE and xterm. | 23:48 |
| xubuntu072 | And sometimes I wouldn't even see that. Just xterm. | 23:48 |
| charlie-tca | In lucid, you should have xubuntu, xfce, xterm, gnome | 23:49 |
| xubuntu072 | Even worse, sometimes when I'd enter my password it wouldn't go to a desktop at all, just kept reloading the login screen. | 23:49 |
| charlie-tca | 10.04 uses a session called 'xubuntu' to set the desktop up. If you installed xfce and nothing else, you don't have all the dependencies satisfied. | 23:50 |
| xubuntu072 | I went and downloaded the Xubuntu ISO and am installing it right now. I'm hoping it'll be less problematic and give me what I'm after from the get-go. | 23:51 |
| xubuntu072 | I kinda like KDE 'cuz it's quite Windows-like. | 23:52 |
| xubuntu072 | Which would be perfect for guests on my computer. | 23:53 |
| xubuntu072 | But I can't figure out how to make it activate the wireless adapter. | 23:53 |
| xubuntu072 | brb | 23:53 |
| charlie-tca | Then you probably should be installing Kubuntu. | 23:53 |
| Sysi | use gnome's network manager if kde's own fail | 23:54 |
| Sysi | it's commonly known bad | 23:55 |
| _Techie_ | or you can use wicd | 23:55 |
| _Techie_ | !wicd | 23:55 |
| _Techie_ | grrr, ubbottu | 23:55 |
| Sysi | if "windows-like" means panel at the bottom, it's easy to set up in all three | 23:55 |
| charlie-tca | !info wicd | 23:55 |
| ubottu | wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+ds1-2 (lucid), package size 39 kB, installed size 88 kB | 23:55 |
