| bmaciel | 10.0 | 03:19 |
| bmaciel | 4 | 03:19 |
| bmaciel | on a P3 450MHz 256Mb RAM machine | 03:19 |
| bmaciel | downloaded the iso, checked MD5 sums | 03:20 |
| bmaciel | burn seemed fine | 03:20 |
| bmaciel | now when I install | 03:20 |
| bmaciel | I get to the disk to install step (4 I think) | 03:20 |
| bmaciel | everything smooth so far | 03:20 |
| bmaciel | but then I get this error | 03:20 |
| bmaciel | "ubi-usersetup failed with exit code 126" | 03:21 |
| bmaciel | and if I continue anyway | 03:21 |
| bmaciel | "ubi-... failed with exit code 126" | 03:21 |

| bmaciel | can someone help me? | 03:22 |
| alvin-laptop | Hello | 09:46 |
| alvin-laptop | I have a couple questions about streamlining Xubuntu | 09:48 |
| alvin-laptop | Has anybody had any experience in this department? | 09:49 |
| bazhang | streamlining? care to be a bit more clear? | 09:50 |
| alvin-laptop | Sure | 09:50 |
| alvin-laptop | I want to reduce the boot up time and see I can't make the OS run faster | 09:51 |
| alvin-laptop | I've had a little bit of experience tweaking windows operating systems but haven't done much with linux based os | 09:52 |
| bazhang | how much ram? | 09:52 |
| alvin-laptop | 4 gig | 09:52 |
| alvin-laptop | 64 bit system | 09:52 |
| bazhang | 64bit? | 09:52 |
| alvin-laptop | yep | 09:52 |
| bazhang | uninstall the services you don't need? | 09:52 |
| alvin-laptop | I'm relatively new at this, what services would you recommend? | 09:53 |
| alvin-laptop | I have a laptop you see, so I want to get the most out of my operating system | 09:55 |
| alvin-laptop | After what a read about xfce and xubuntu I was expecting something much faster. I have a relatively new lap so hardware shouldn't be a restraint | 09:56 |
| bazhang | well not that much faster than gnome, in actual fact | 10:00 |
| bazhang | if you want a truly streamlined Ubuntu/xubuntu/etc, you might consider doing the minimal install and building up from there | 10:01 |
| drizzt_ | alvin-laptop, I would recommend some portable distribution, with KDE 3.5 or other minimalistic desktop | 10:01 |
| bazhang | there are other DE/wm as well | 10:02 |
| bazhang | lxde/openbox for example | 10:02 |
| alvin-laptop | Thanks | 10:05 |

| jimcooncat | what's the best release to install on a friends computer, where I'll only have remote access to it? That is, really stable. | 11:43 |
| bazhang | lts ? | 11:43 |
| jimcooncat | Lucid is lts, correct? | 11:44 |
| bazhang | yep | 11:44 |
| bazhang | three years desktop five years server | 11:44 |
| bazhang | with some point releases over the years | 11:44 |
| slow-motion | hi | 11:45 |
| jimcooncat | Good. I remember an older lts release that it wasn't really stable until the .1 release | 11:45 |
| jimcooncat | maybe it was dapper | 11:45 |
| bazhang | 10.04.1 etc | 11:45 |
| bazhang | well dapper :) | 11:45 |
| bazhang | that was originally going to be 6.04 | 11:46 |
| jimcooncat | good. now I need to find a netboot.tgz, unless you know handy location right off. | 11:46 |
| jimcooncat | or do I use the ubuntu one and install xubuntu-desktop? | 11:48 |
| bazhang | booting via netboot? pxe from iso on grub2? | 11:49 |
| bazhang | err pxe, | 11:49 |
| bazhang | !install | 11:49 |
| 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 | 11:49 |
| bazhang | that may help | 11:49 |
| jimcooncat | I think I found it, doesn't seem to be specific to xubuntu though | 11:50 |
| bazhang | the last link should probably be changed to include unetbootin boot from a flash drive | 11:51 |
| bazhang | right, it would not be | 11:51 |
| bazhang | the various -desktop packages are the difference | 11:51 |
| bazhang | xubuntu kubuntu ubuntu lubuntu etc | 11:51 |
| jimcooncat | I got a pxe server already set up, just need to add the new ubuntu-installer. Think I'm all set | 11:52 |
| bazhang | ok | 11:52 |
| bazhang | good luck | 11:52 |
| jimcooncat | bazhang: xubuntu vs. lubuntu for a complete noob? He bought an old machine off a yard sale | 11:52 |
| bazhang | jimcooncat, fairly old / low ram slower cpu? | 11:53 |
| jimcooncat | Yeah, looks like a five to seven year old machine, I don't know how much ram yet | 11:53 |
| bazhang | well that would be a big determinant | 11:53 |
| bazhang | xubuntu is not that resource light | 11:54 |
| jimcooncat | lets say 256 mb | 11:54 |
| bazhang | lxde/openbox is much lighter, but for a newer user might be a bit tricky | 11:54 |
| bazhang | possible but not very enjoyable | 11:55 |
| jimcooncat | I did like customizing xfce though. I'll give both a shot, what the heck | 11:55 |
| bazhang | nice :) | 11:55 |
| jimcooncat | do these desktop packages coexist? I remember some awful stuff trying to run gnome and kde | 11:56 |
| bazhang | I think there's a bug with ubuntu- and xubuntu- | 11:56 |
| bazhang | not seen it in lucid with kubuntu- and ubuntu- though | 11:56 |
| jimcooncat | oh well. That's the nice thing about the pxe server. I just wish I could learn to set up a transparent proxy instead of apt-cacher, as I need to remember to change the apt proxy once it's off my office lan | 11:58 |
| bazhang | good luck :) I've got to run now | 11:58 |
| jimcooncat | thanks much bazhang see you in the funny pages | 11:58 |
| bazhang | :) | 11:59 |
| Sysi | can i somehow set with xrandr which is the "main" screen? | 12:44 |
| Sysi | my panel keeps going to smaller screen | 12:44 |
| Sysi | i have nvidia, should i switch to restricted driver? | 12:44 |
| TheSheep | xrandr won't work with nvidia, and yes, restricted driver is better with it | 12:48 |
| Sysi | otherly this works well | 12:54 |
| Sysi | but i want my panel to different window | 12:54 |
| Sysi | gah, panel settings of course | 12:56 |
| Sysi | THIS is working GREAT | 12:57 |
| Sysi | :)) | 12:57 |

| vh4x0r | I just did a xubuntu 10.04 install ... | 18:57 |
| vh4x0r | but the default installation with no apps running takes up 240 MiB of RAM :-O | 18:58 |
| vh4x0r | Any tips on reducing it ? | 18:58 |
| Sysi | settings → sessions and startup and take off autostarted apps you don't need | 18:59 |
| TheSheep | you could disable the services that you don't use, you could disable some autostarting apps | 18:59 |
| vh4x0r | Sysi, hmm done that already :) | 18:59 |
| vh4x0r | doesn't help much :( | 18:59 |
| TheSheep | set the background to solid color instead of an image | 18:59 |
| TheSheep | but it all won't really help that much | 19:00 |
| vh4x0r | hmm | 19:00 |
| vh4x0r | even notify-osd takes up 12 MiB of RAM !! | 19:01 |
| Sysi | if you have really little ram, crunchbang or lubuntu might be better | 19:01 |
| Sysi | xubuntu isn't for *very* low end | 19:01 |
| vh4x0r | Sysi, THis computer has 640 MiB RAM but DDR ! | 19:02 |
| TheSheep | dance dance revolution? :) | 19:02 |
| vh4x0r | To disable startup daemons, I should delete the symlinks from rc*.d, right ? | 19:03 |
| TheSheep | no | 19:04 |
| TheSheep | use the system->serives dialog | 19:04 |
| vh4x0r | I don't have much experience with debian's init system :( | 19:04 |
| TheSheep | services | 19:04 |
| vh4x0r | TheSheep, there's no system->services dialog :( | 19:04 |
| TheSheep | oh, it has been removed? | 19:04 |
| Sysi | and maybe sysrw-conf if you know what you're doing | 19:04 |
| vh4x0r | Sysi, no sysrw-conf either ! | 19:05 |
| Sysi | that needs to be installed separately | 19:05 |
| TheSheep | or chkconfig | 19:05 |
| TheSheep | same here | 19:05 |
| Sysi | name might be a bit wrong | 19:05 |
| vh4x0r | Sysi, no nothing of that sort ! | 19:05 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: sysv-conf I guess | 19:05 |
| Sysi | prolly | 19:06 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: because the init system comes from System V | 19:06 |
| vh4x0r | the services utility should be in gnome-system-tools right ? | 19:06 |
