[03:19] <bmaciel> hello everyonw
[03:19] <bmaciel> I am trying to install xubuntu
[03:19] <bmaciel> 10.0
[03:19] <bmaciel> 4
[03:19] <bmaciel> on a P3 450MHz 256Mb RAM machine
[03:20] <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
[03:21] <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> I am trying to install on a 3.2Gb disk
[03:22] <bmaciel> can someone help me?
[09:46] <alvin-laptop> Hello
[09:48] <alvin-laptop> I have a couple questions about streamlining Xubuntu
[09:49] <alvin-laptop> Has anybody had any experience in this department?
[09:50] <bazhang> streamlining? care to be a bit more clear?
[09:50] <alvin-laptop> Sure
[09:51] <alvin-laptop> I want to reduce the boot up time and see I can't make the OS run faster
[09:52] <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?
[09:53] <alvin-laptop> I'm relatively new at this, what services would you recommend?
[09:55] <alvin-laptop> I have a laptop you see, so I want to get the most out of my operating system
[09:56] <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
[10:00] <bazhang> well not that much faster than gnome, in actual fact
[10:01] <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
[10:02] <bazhang> there are other DE/wm as well
[10:02] <bazhang> lxde/openbox for example
[10:05] <alvin-laptop> Thanks
[11:43] <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 ?
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <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 :)
[11:46] <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.
[11:48] <jimcooncat> or do I use the ubuntu one and install xubuntu-desktop?
[11:49] <bazhang> booting via netboot? pxe from iso on grub2?
[11:49] <bazhang> err pxe,
[11:49] <bazhang> !install
[11:49] <bazhang> that may help
[11:50] <jimcooncat> I think I found it, doesn't seem to be specific to xubuntu though
[11:51] <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
[11:52] <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
[11:53] <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
[11:54] <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
[11:55] <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 :)
[11:56] <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
[11:58] <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
[11:59] <bazhang> :)
[12:44] <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?
[12:48] <TheSheep> xrandr won't work with nvidia, and yes, restricted driver is better with it
[12:54] <Sysi> otherly this works well
[12:54] <Sysi> but i want my panel to different window
[12:56] <Sysi> gah, panel settings of course
[12:57] <Sysi> THIS is working GREAT
[12:57] <Sysi> :))
[17:24] <djohngo> Anybody have success getting xfce4 to play nice with mutt?
[17:45] <djohngo> quit
[18:57] <vh4x0r> I just did a xubuntu 10.04 install ...
[18:58] <vh4x0r> but the default installation with no apps running takes up 240 MiB of RAM :-O
[18:58] <vh4x0r> Any tips on reducing it ?
[18:59] <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
[19:00] <TheSheep> but it all won't really help that much
[19:00] <vh4x0r> hmm
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <vh4x0r> Sysi, THis computer has 640 MiB RAM but DDR !
[19:02] <TheSheep> dance dance revolution? :)
[19:03] <vh4x0r> To disable startup daemons, I should delete the symlinks from rc*.d, right ?
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <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
[19:06] <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 ?
[19:26] <slow-motion> hi

[22:11] <N-S[X1]> Good evening.
[22:12] <knome> !hi | N-S[X1]
[22:13] <N-S[X1]> I'm having some trouble with Samba. It sems to have "stopped" sharing on eth1 (or at least on the ip assigned to eth1).
[22:13] <N-S[X1]> If I run smbclient -L on localhost it displays all shares, but on the ip it fails with an erro message:
[22:14] <N-S[X1]> Connection to 192.168.0.100 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)
[22:24] <vessper> i've also found the drivers here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsDlink
