daedaluzhello, there's no Xubuntu NBR, so will it work out-of-box on my Eee 901 like Ubuntu NBR does?03:43
llamas612hey guys, i was wondering if there is any easy way to install gnome alongside xfce?04:48
llamas612i have xubuntu installed right now04:48
llamas612and i want to be able to use gnome as well04:48
likemindeadYes, just "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" (I think).04:49
likemindeadSomething like that.04:49
likemindeadThat'll install all the GNOME stuff.04:49
llamas612see04:50
llamas612the odd thing is04:50
llamas612i've treied that04:50
llamas612and it cant seem to find that package04:50
llamas612and i've updated it04:50
llamas612i'm on a fresh xubuntu 10.04 install04:50
llamas612so i'm completely confused why it cant seem to find that package04:50
likemindeadDo you have all the repositories ticked?04:51
llamas612yep04:51
llamas612i haven't changed any repo settings since the install04:51
llamas612i literally finished the install a hour or so ago04:51
llamas612and i wanted to get gnome on there as well04:52
likemindeadHmm...04:52
llamas612someone in the ubuntu help room gave me a copy of his working sources.lst04:52
llamas612so it cant be that04:52
likemindeadhttp://imagebin.ca/view/P5_1ghF.html04:54
likemindeadIt's there for me.04:54
llamas612that makes sense04:55
llamas612i have no idea what my computer is doing04:55
llamas612i can see the xubuntu-desktop package04:55
llamas612but not ubuntu, kubuntu or just straight gnome04:55
likemindeadTry changing servers, maybe?04:56
likemindeadThen sudo apt-get update04:56
llamas612huh05:01
llamas612well this is interesting05:01
llamas612in the terminal05:01
llamas612i can find it05:01
llamas612ubuntu-desktop05:01
llamas612at least05:01
llamas612but synaptic still doesn't list it05:01
likemindeadTerminal FTW.05:02
llamas612hehe05:02
llamas612would you happen to know the name for just gnome?05:02
llamas612so i don't have to install everything that comes with ubuntu05:02
likemindeadI'm not sure how you'd do that.05:04
llamas612well i think i'll just install ubunut-desktop05:09
llamas612thanks a lot05:09
xubuntu086hi in need help05:27

Raggshi all15:46
PavitraI reinstalled the kernel and rebooted. I still have the same symptoms as before, except that the cursor in GDM has been reset to the default cursor theme.15:50
likemindeadWhat's going on, Pavitra?15:50
PavitraGDM doesn't give me a username chooser or a place to type my username in.15:51
PavitraI can see the background and the cursor, but no window.15:51
likemindeadWeird.15:51
likemindeadYou could try SLiM -- http://slim.berlios.de/15:52
likemindeadIt's a really slick alternative.15:52
PavitraI'll take a look.15:54
likemindeadantiX MEPIS, a distro I really dig, uses SLiM.15:55
RaggsantiX has no 64 install tough15:58
Raggsthough16:01

PavitraWell, the login screen *itself* seems to be working, but it doesn't seem to take me to a working desktop.16:08

Takeasynever18:24
Black_PrinceMine problem was I had only 800x600 and 640x480 resolutions with 60Hz refresh rate18:24

siumuimuistrange18:24
Takeasylikemindead, is my problem happens to others?18:25
likemindeadProbably.18:26
likemindeadOnce you install and run updates it will probably be okay.18:27
Black_PrinceSomething is wrong with 10.0418:27
Black_PrinceI don't know what18:27
likemindeadI have 10.04 on multiple machines and haven't had any serious issues.18:27
likemindeadYMMV18:27
Black_PrinceUbuntu or Xubuntu?18:28
Takeasyxubuntu18:28
likemindeadBoth, for me. :D18:28
Takeasylikemindead, i think the problem is because of my display card18:28
likemindeadI prefer Xubuntu, though. :D18:28
Black_PrinceWhen I installed it, ~16hrs after it was released, something was wrong, so I switched back to 9.1018:29
likemindeadOnce you install, Takeasy, there are many ways to work with that issue.18:29
Takeasymy display card: Intel Extreme Graphics II18:29
Black_Princemine too18:29
likemindeadThere are different drives and a dimple "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" may fix it right away.18:29
Black_Princeintegrated?18:29
TakeasyBlack_Prince, i don't understand18:30
Black_PrinceIs your display card integrated?18:30
Takeasyi think it is18:30

Black_Princebut on xubuntu i can only use 800x600 and 640x480 display modes on 60Hz refresh rate18:37
siumuimuiwith windows, i simply need to install the driver and that's it.. but the auto run disk for windows cannot work in xubuntu18:37
siumuimuii wonder where to find out the graphics driver inside my xubuntu18:37
Black_PrinceIt is preinstalled18:38
Black_Princexserver-xorg-video-intel18:38
Black_Princeoh yes, and I installed older driver, version 2.4 and I got 2 more resolution options, 1024x768 and one more ...18:38
likemindeadThere's an intel915 (or something) driver that helped on some of my machines.18:40
likemindeadThat's the beauty of Linux, the variety of options! :D18:40
Black_Princeyes18:41
Black_Princebut I don't have time for it18:41
likemindeadhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/i915Driver18:41

xubuntu739anyone on?20:34
IncrStormIs there a forum topic for simply Xubuntu on the Ubuntu forums? God love it, it's light, but I need it a bit lighter, and I know there is slop. I need to tighten mine.20:50
zouillehello, how defragmenter xubuntu?21:33
Raggsi dont think it is needed21:34
genii!defrag21:34
ubottuThe default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.21:34
zouillehow ?21:35
IncrStormHe just told you the docs for how. I was under the impression that most linux distros were handling this automatically.21:55
MaKuB3xhi everybody21:56
IncrStormhello21:56
Raggshi21:56
MaKuB3xi want to change my gdm theme21:57
MaKuB3xbut I don't know how21:57
IncrStormI'll pop in again, since we have new visitors....Is there a specific Xubuntu forum at ubuntoforums21:57
IncrStorm?21:57
MaKuB3xIm using xubuntu 10.0421:57
IncrStormgdm is your window manager right?21:58
MaKuB3xwhat is by default??21:59
IncrStormI mean, don't think I'm an idiot, I'm pretty sure that's Gnome, and that's part of why I did Xubuntu rather than Ubuntu.22:00
IncrStormFor Xubunto it should be Xfce4.22:00
IncrStormAt least, that's how mine came up.22:01
Raggsgdm just handles logging in22:01
IncrStormAha, I knew I wasn't right, but it is a "gnome" development, isn't it?22:01
Raggsgdm?22:02
Raggsthe gnome desktop manager22:02
IncrStormYea, please tell me if I'm wrong.22:02
Raggsbut xubuntu does use gdm22:02
RaggsMaKuB3x, is that what you want to change?22:03
MaKuB3xin a forum I reed I need go to: xfce menu/ Settings / Configuration of loginscreen22:03
MaKuB3xbut I dont have it22:03
Raggsi am sorry, but i am not running xubuntu22:04
IncrStormRaggs : my apologies, you are totally right, I've got 3 processes. I thought the Xubuntu was trying to eliminate some of the fluff22:06
RaggsIncrStorm, no appologies, i am not right that often22:06
IncrStormMaKuB3x , Do you know how to find the Xubuntu forum?22:07
MaKuB3xyes22:08
MaKuB3xtnks22:08
IncrStormRaggs , I just started this distro 2 weeks ago, and I can promise, I'm right almost never, but I was under the assumption that the gnome situation was heavy. That's why I changed distros.22:08
Raggsheavy how?22:08
IncrStormThis machine is a frankenstein that is running on a compaq presario with a hard motherboard. 256  megs of pc-100 ram is all I've been able to get in the two slots.22:10
IncrStormI need less shit running, and less memory used, hence, Xubuntu.22:10
Raggsi see what you mean22:10
lifenotfoundhi, the popup notification does not dock with the notification area, can I move it? screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/QCc0Y.png22:10
Raggslifenotfound, i have not a clue22:11
lifenotfoundi'm guessing it has to do with the 1024x600 display on the netbook, but it's just an annoyance, no biggie22:13
IncrStormRaggs : I know there is a ton of stuff running that I don't want or need. Some of which I loaded. LOL. I need access to smb but I don't want to OFFER anything, so I don't need the daemon.22:13
MaKuB3xC ya22:14
MaKuB3xtnks all22:14
RaggsIncrStorm, i suppose you can kill the deamon then22:14
IncrStormlifenotfound : I've heard from a friend that resolution and screen stuff can cause some issues. Occasionally when I boot, I don't get a panel. He said it was to do with that sort of thing.22:15
IncrStormRaggs : I'd rather kill it where it starts automatically, but I am REALLY naive about a lot of linux.22:16
RaggsIncrStorm, look for startup applications in the menus22:17
Raggsi am off for a while, i will return22:19
