| Technophil | Hi Can anyone tell me why mythbuntu comes out with Xubuntu in preference to the gnome desktop? | 06:24 |
| Shadow__X | Technophil: it uses less resources | 06:26 |
| silverdulcet | afaik, they use xubuntu/xfce since it is lighter on the resources and most people running mythbuntu don't use the desktop. | 06:26 |
| silverdulcet | Technophil: you can install gnome-desktop on a mythbuntu install, or just install mythtv on an ubuntu-desktop install if you like. | 06:27 |
| Technophil | Thanks Guys, I am really after the gnome network manager for 3G cards. | 06:30 |
| Shadow__X | on a mythtv system? | 06:30 |
| Technophil | Shadow__X: Yes! In anticipation of the next question, its on a Dell D830 Laptop | 06:32 |
| Technophil | (Which has one of the most power efficient vdpau "a" graphics chips) | 06:33 |
| Shadow__X | Technophil: why dont you just install ubuntu on it then install mythfrontend | 06:33 |
| Technophil | Yes, with the benefit of hindsight that's what I should have done. | 06:34 |
| Technophil | Ironically when one installs "ubuntu" using the mythbuntu myth CC one only gets a subset of ubuntu! | 06:34 |
| Shadow__X | i wouldnt want everythig | 06:35 |
| Shadow__X | but still if i were you i would redo the machine with ubuntu | 06:35 |
| silverdulcet | Technophil: if you have a seperate /home partition, you could install ubuntu over it and just not format /home | 06:35 |
| Technophil | I just thought there might have been some more reasons for mythbuntu using Xubuntu than just resources, which in the scheme of things I doubt is much extra with gnome, although I accept some scenarios efficiency will be paramount. For example it might have also been a developer preference. | 06:37 |
| silverdulcet | Technophil: well, you also have to remember gnome desktop pulls in *alot* of dependencies that definately wouldn't be used on most mythtv devoted machines, e.g. evolution | 06:40 |
| Technophil | That seems to me to be the resource issue. | 06:40 |
| Technophil | Which seems to me to mostly translate to HDD space, as the Linux OS is so efficient.... | 06:41 |
| silverdulcet | Technophil: so really, if you want to use it part time as a mythfrontend and mostly/part time a desktop/laptop its recommened to install whatever you want as your desktop os and add the frontend as a package. | 06:41 |
| Technophil | Will do. | 06:43 |
| silverdulcet | Technophil: same logic would apply to a dedicated backend only, you start with the server os you want and then add mythbackend as a service it runs, instead of installing mythbuntu. | 06:43 |
| Technophil | In my case the need for 3G came later..... | 06:43 |
| silverdulcet | Technophil: have you tried installing the gnome-network-manager package? not sure if it would work, but I don't see why it wouldn't. | 06:44 |
| Technophil | I have several D830's now, so will run up ubuntu on one, i'll be interested to see the differences. | 06:44 |
| Technophil | I expect that will work, might try that first, what will be interesting will be to see what the dependencies are, I suspect it might be quite a list...! | 06:45 |
| silverdulcet | sorry, the package is network-manager-gnome | 06:46 |
| Technophil | kewl, thanks. | 06:46 |
