[01:44] I can't get audio to work; I just did a fresh install on an IBM thinkpad with an Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM audio controller.. gnome-alsamixer gives segmentaution fault and alsamixer doesn't start. Anyone got any tips? [03:19] hello everyonw [03:19] I am trying to install xubuntu [03:19] 10.0 [03:19] 4 [03:19] on a P3 450MHz 256Mb RAM machine [03:20] downloaded the iso, checked MD5 sums [03:20] burn seemed fine [03:20] now when I install [03:20] I get to the disk to install step (4 I think) [03:20] everything smooth so far [03:20] but then I get this error [03:21] "ubi-usersetup failed with exit code 126" [03:21] and if I continue anyway [03:21] "ubi-... failed with exit code 126" [03:21] I am trying to install on a 3.2Gb disk [03:22] can someone help me? [09:46] Hello [09:48] I have a couple questions about streamlining Xubuntu [09:49] Has anybody had any experience in this department? [09:50] streamlining? care to be a bit more clear? [09:50] Sure [09:51] I want to reduce the boot up time and see I can't make the OS run faster [09:52] I've had a little bit of experience tweaking windows operating systems but haven't done much with linux based os [09:52] how much ram? [09:52] 4 gig [09:52] 64 bit system [09:52] 64bit? [09:52] yep [09:52] uninstall the services you don't need? [09:53] I'm relatively new at this, what services would you recommend? [09:55] I have a laptop you see, so I want to get the most out of my operating system [09:56] 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] well not that much faster than gnome, in actual fact [10:01] if you want a truly streamlined Ubuntu/xubuntu/etc, you might consider doing the minimal install and building up from there [10:01] alvin-laptop, I would recommend some portable distribution, with KDE 3.5 or other minimalistic desktop [10:02] there are other DE/wm as well [10:02] lxde/openbox for example [10:05] Thanks === xxx is now known as Guest85687 [11:43] 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] lts ? [11:44] Lucid is lts, correct? [11:44] yep [11:44] three years desktop five years server [11:44] with some point releases over the years [11:45] hi [11:45] Good. I remember an older lts release that it wasn't really stable until the .1 release [11:45] maybe it was dapper [11:45] 10.04.1 etc [11:45] well dapper :) [11:46] that was originally going to be 6.04 [11:46] good. now I need to find a netboot.tgz, unless you know handy location right off. [11:48] or do I use the ubuntu one and install xubuntu-desktop? [11:49] booting via netboot? pxe from iso on grub2? [11:49] err pxe, [11:49] !install [11:49] 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] that may help [11:50] I think I found it, doesn't seem to be specific to xubuntu though [11:51] the last link should probably be changed to include unetbootin boot from a flash drive [11:51] right, it would not be [11:51] the various -desktop packages are the difference [11:51] xubuntu kubuntu ubuntu lubuntu etc [11:52] I got a pxe server already set up, just need to add the new ubuntu-installer. Think I'm all set [11:52] ok [11:52] good luck [11:52] bazhang: xubuntu vs. lubuntu for a complete noob? He bought an old machine off a yard sale [11:53] jimcooncat, fairly old / low ram slower cpu? [11:53] Yeah, looks like a five to seven year old machine, I don't know how much ram yet [11:53] well that would be a big determinant [11:54] xubuntu is not that resource light [11:54] lets say 256 mb [11:54] lxde/openbox is much lighter, but for a newer user might be a bit tricky [11:55] possible but not very enjoyable [11:55] I did like customizing xfce though. I'll give both a shot, what the heck [11:55] nice :) [11:56] do these desktop packages coexist? I remember some awful stuff trying to run gnome and kde [11:56] I think there's a bug with ubuntu- and xubuntu- [11:56] not seen it in lucid with kubuntu- and ubuntu- though [11:58] 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] good luck :) I've got to run now [11:58] thanks much bazhang see you in the funny pages [11:59] :) [12:44] can i somehow set with xrandr which is the "main" screen? [12:44] my panel keeps going to smaller screen [12:44] i have nvidia, should i switch to restricted driver? [12:48] xrandr won't work with nvidia, and yes, restricted driver is better with it [12:54] otherly this works well [12:54] but i want my panel to different window [12:56] gah, panel settings of course [12:57] THIS is working GREAT [12:57] :)) === highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage [17:24] Anybody have success getting xfce4 to play nice with mutt? [17:45] quit [18:57] I just did a xubuntu 10.04 install ... [18:58] but the default installation with no apps running takes up 240 MiB of RAM :-O [18:58] Any tips on reducing it ? [18:59] settings → sessions and startup and take off autostarted apps you don't need [18:59] you could disable the services that you don't use, you could disable some autostarting apps [18:59] Sysi, hmm done that already :) [18:59] doesn't help much :( [18:59] set the background to solid color instead of an image [19:00] but it all won't really help that much [19:00] hmm [19:01] even notify-osd takes up 12 MiB of RAM !! [19:01] if you have really little ram, crunchbang or lubuntu might be better [19:01] xubuntu isn't for *very* low end [19:02] Sysi, THis computer has 640 MiB RAM but DDR ! [19:02] dance dance revolution? :) [19:03] To disable startup daemons, I should delete the symlinks from rc*.d, right ? [19:04] no [19:04] use the system->serives dialog [19:04] I don't have much experience with debian's init system :( [19:04] services [19:04] TheSheep, there's no system->services dialog :( [19:04] oh, it has been removed? [19:04] and maybe sysrw-conf if you know what you're doing [19:05] Sysi, no sysrw-conf either ! [19:05] that needs to be installed separately [19:05] or chkconfig [19:05] same here [19:05] name might be a bit wrong [19:05] Sysi, no nothing of that sort ! [19:05] Sysi: sysv-conf I guess [19:06] prolly [19:06] Sysi: because the init system comes from System V [19:06] the services utility should be in gnome-system-tools right ? [19:26] hi [19:28] hallo [19:28] nun bin nun auch mal umgestiegen von windows auf linux [19:29] kann mir jemand helfen hab den xubuntu runtergeladen gib aber auch noch andere kubuntu und das normal was ist den der unterschied [21:55] Hello, all. I'm having a slight audio lag in ZSNES on Xubuntu 10.04 -- HALP? [22:03] SOLVED: "zsnes -ad sdl" does it for me. [22:11] Good evening. [22:12] !hi | N-S[X1] [22:12] N-S[X1]: 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! [22:13] 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] If I run smbclient -L on localhost it displays all shares, but on the ip it fails with an erro message: [22:14] Connection to 192.168.0.100 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) [22:24] i've also found the drivers here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsDlink [22:45] hi how can i change the resolution [22:45] i have an old dell c600 [22:46] somebody [22:46] be patient [22:49] i being to patient u dont know how many hours i waste downloading it and finally it just dont work [22:50] i think i go have a beer and forget this shit piece of garbage [23:09] Problem solved. When I ran killall and it respawned, smbd magically started to work on eth1.
