| pahindr | i see.... | 00:55 |
| knome | what do you see? | 01:00 |
| Catwoman | Can anyone tell me of a good dock that will integrate well with Xubuntu? | 04:58 |
| Catwoman | Does anyone know of a good xfce friendly dock for xubuntu? | 07:00 |
| Coke | Hello. I'm downloading xubuntu now and I have a few question, they're a bit noobish, but it is my first time with any ubuntu derivative at all. | 08:00 |
| Coke | 1) does all the mime types work in the browser and e-mail program? 2) is it very hard to do upgrades between the major releases? | 08:01 |
| knome | 1) yes, there shouldn't be any glitches. 2) no, it's actually more straightforward you ever could imagine | 08:13 |
| knome | Coke, ^ | 08:13 |
| Coke | Awesome. | 08:13 |
| Coke | How almost nobody distributes their system as regular image? | 08:14 |
| Coke | It's so impractical since CD/DVD is a deprecated technology compared to USB sticks. | 08:14 |
| knome | by regular image you mean what? | 08:14 |
| Coke | basic dd to stick | 08:15 |
| knome | in ubuntu, there is usb-creator | 08:15 |
| Coke | just a raw image copy | 08:15 |
| Coke | yeah, but someone takes the raw image copy, converts it into ISO 9660 standard only to have it converted back to an image again with that. | 08:16 |
| Coke | I've used unetbootin in the past, I hope it does the trick here. | 08:17 |
| knome | should be no problem. | 08:17 |
| Coke | knome: there ws | 08:18 |
| knome | really? | 08:18 |
| Coke | yes, a bug in the unetbootin | 08:19 |
| Coke | but it's easily workable | 08:19 |
| Coke | but it's exactly the reason why I don't bother with GUI apps usually, sub par quality most of the time compared to solid cli stuff. | 08:19 |
| knome | too bad to hear about that bug. have you reported it? | 08:19 |
| Coke | no, I don't like unetbootin enough. :) | 08:20 |
| Coke | nor do I use it very often, this is an experiment to see if we can get xubuntu to be appreciated by former windows users | 08:20 |
| knome | well, you seem to like xubuntu enough to install it, and if you need unetbootin to fo that, i'd really think you should file. | 08:20 |
| knome | -'d | 08:20 |
| Coke | "bug: unetbootin should just be a cli command" :) | 08:21 |
| knome | more like "wishlist: add cli interface for unetbootin" | 08:21 |
| Coke | for instance, why does it need a mounted USB stick?? | 08:21 |
| Coke | dd doesnt | 08:21 |
| knome | well, that's something i'm not able to answer ;) | 08:21 |
| knome | dd does eventually need to mount the stick also, so i don't see no big difference there | 08:22 |
| Coke | knome: no it does not | 08:22 |
| Coke | it will however boot shortly thereafter and mount itself | 08:22 |
| Coke | but I don't have to know about that | 08:22 |
| Coke | the nice thing with a image that you can dd is that the filesystem is already in it. | 08:23 |
| knome | anyway, i'm heavily suggesting to file the bug even if you don't care about unetbootin. let's leave the channel for possible new support requests now | 08:23 |
| Coke | knome: what should I be using then? | 08:23 |
| knome | Coke, for filing? | 08:24 |
| Coke | because I think 99% of everybody who downloads the ISO converts it to USB anyway. | 08:24 |
| Coke | no | 08:24 |
| Coke | for putting it on a bootable USB. all the systems I normally use already have image files to download. | 08:24 |
| knome | that is most probably incorrect. | 08:24 |
| Coke | I just googled for unetbootin | 08:24 |
| Coke | I don't have a preference. | 08:24 |
| knome | unetbootin is the way i assume if you're not running a ubuntu system already. | 08:25 |
| Coke | If there's a better alternative I'll switch | 08:25 |
| Coke | No, sorry, no ubuntus here. | 08:25 |
| Coke | got a few legacy Debian's around, but that probably won't help. | 08:25 |
| knome | nope. | 08:26 |
| Coke | So you think people still use CD? | 08:28 |
| knome | yes, pretty much. | 08:28 |
| Coke | Bought CD's? | 08:28 |
| knome | but as i said, let's leave the channel for support requests | 08:28 |
| Coke | Like official Xubuntu's? If so, I'd be interrested. | 08:29 |
| Coke | (like the slackware walnut creek cd's back in the days) | 08:29 |
| knome | Coke, the most "official" cd's are discs shipped by on-disk.com in agreement with the xubuntu developer community | 08:29 |
| Coke | Do they get any percentage from that? | 08:30 |
| knome | Coke, http://on-disk.com/cms/index.php?wiki=Quick_Ship_Free_Disc_Service for more on that (select usa/worldwide and you'll get along) | 08:30 |
| Coke | Wow! | 08:31 |
| knome | Coke, there's no way to be asking money for a linux distro on a cd except shipping and reasonable burning/handling costs - no, either on-disk.com or xubuntu developers do not make any money out of it. | 08:31 |
| Coke | They even have memory sticks with Xubuntu on them | 08:31 |
| Coke | http://on-disk.com/product_info.php/products_id/1013 <- this is awesome | 08:32 |
| Coke | most of our machines don't even have optical media any mroe | 08:32 |
| Coke | bulk 100pcs at 50% discount! hm. | 08:36 |
| Coke | bootin Xubuntu... | 08:42 |

| nicofs | i need help controlling my cpu/fan speed. i can't seem to set that manually... i installt governor and (after that) powernowd - both don't work... | 13:14 |
| slow-motion | hi | 14:25 |
| mAritz | hey, i have an ssd with a single ntfs partition on it that wasn't unlocked safely. everytime i try to start xubuntu from a livecd (usb stick actually) it says "The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing." for 3-4 times and then just hangs. if i unplug the ssd, everything works fine and xubuntu starts. can i somehow disable the drive check for the ssd? because apparently i need to unlock the ntfs system manually. | 14:41 |

| edakiri | Are other people having problems with their mouse clicks in the past week? | 16:54 |
| charlie-tca | What kind of problems? I seem to have issues with claws-mail freezing on some accounts | 16:55 |
| edakiri | I'm not having any (new) problems with claws. I have only seen freezing when the network link goes down. | 16:57 |
| edakiri | Mouse click problems like when i click to open a menu, the menu closes prematurely | 16:57 |
| edakiri | or a click is not registered | 16:57 |
| edakiri | charlie-tca: when claws freezes, you can check if it has sockets open with netstat | 17:21 |
| charlie-tca | It should not be freezing, since the folder causing the freeze is a local folder on my system | 17:22 |
