[00:19] <zealiod> I'd like to build a distro for myself that just runs stripped down gnome (no games, or tools) and firefox.... can this be done?
[00:24] <ridin> yes
[01:00] <MalfermitaKodo> Hi... I am trying to get a webcam to function with Xubuntu
[01:09] <David-A> MalfermitaKodo: I dont think I can help, but if you tell what webcam, what computer, and shortly what you have tried and how it fails, maybe a bell rings somewhere.
[01:10] <MalfermitaKodo> David-A: I wanted but was distracted by a path to google... which was futile...
[01:10] <MalfermitaKodo> It is an antedeluvian Logitech webcam...
[01:10] <MalfermitaKodo> apparently a quickcam Messenger if lsusb is trusted
[01:11] <MalfermitaKodo> Something is happening when I plug it in and the quickcam_messenger module is loaded
[01:12] <MalfermitaKodo> the video-devices are created
[01:12] <MalfermitaKodo> but there is no... reaction of the programs
[01:12] <MalfermitaKodo> cheese just tries and tries finding it
[01:27] <xubuntu956> hi there
[02:31] <xubuntu140> hello
[02:32] <xubuntu140> hi?
[06:36] <profus2> good morning @all
[06:37] <profus2> can i install f-spot photo manager in xubuntu environment?
[06:37] <pleia2> yep, I use it all the time :)
[06:37] <profus2> because its designed for gnome desktop environment
[06:38] <pleia2> it runs fine
[06:38] <profus2> how does this interact?
[06:38] <pleia2> interact?
[06:38] <profus2> mmh
[06:38] <profus2> i am not a native speaker
[06:38] <pleia2> I've never used it in Gnome, so I don't know how it's supposed to
[06:39] <profus2> no, the basic question is: will a program designed for gnome dektop run automatically in an xfce environment?
[06:39] <pleia2> yes
[06:40] <well_laid_lawn> gnome is gtk based and so is xfce
[06:40] <well_laid_lawn> !gtk
[06:41] <profus2> ok, thx for the explanation
[06:41] <well_laid_lawn> np :]
[06:42] <profus2> one more question about f-spot: does importing files mean that f-spot will copy files from one place to another or will it just index the files?
[06:43] <profus2> i have dual boot installation and photo files should not be touched where there are now
[06:43] <well_laid_lawn> I doubt it would move them - prob just makes a database of them
[06:48] <profus2> is thanking everybody for their help and have a nice day :-)
[08:07] <somaye> hi
[08:07] <somaye> hi
[09:52] <nicofs> Can someone help me set my fan/cpu speed?
[14:20] <Rodrigo> Hello
[14:36] <charlie-tca> !hello | Rodrigo
[14:48] <Rodrigo> i installed xubuntu on my PC: Pentium 3 900mhz 256mb
[14:49] <Rodrigo> with nvidia geforce 2 mx
[14:49] <Rodrigo> but it's not very fluent :s
[14:50] <Sysi> nothing is very fluent on that kinda machine, but you could try lubuntu-desktop
[14:50] <Sysi> !lubuntu
[14:50] <Rodrigo> ah cool
[14:57] <Rodrigo> that's a cool project!
[15:14] <Rodrigo> i'm gonna check this out but what if it was the nvidia driver?
[15:14] <Sysi> i think it's about ram
[15:16] <Sysi> if graphics driver is bad, it's *very* slow or no graphics at all
[15:16] <Rodrigo> yeah maybe, i'm gonna download lubuntu
[15:16] <Rodrigo> i hope it's stable
[15:16] <Sysi> just install lubuntu-desktop
[15:16] <TheSheep> as in, you can see the windows being drawn
[15:17] <Sysi> my irssi window lagged with centos default nvidia driver
[15:21] <Rodrigo> thx Sysi, bye
[15:51] <Rodrigo> re
[17:07] <jst> Hey, guys.  How come Ubuntu and Kubuntu have 10.04.1, but Xubuntu doesn't? :)
[17:13] <Pres-Gas> jst, I am using Xubu and byobu is saying 10.04.1...
[17:14] <Pres-Gas> jst, try this command from a terminal: lsb_release -a
[17:14] <charlie-tca> jst: because Xubuntu is not an official distribution by canonical.
[17:14] <charlie-tca> However, upgrading 10.04 with all the updates is all 10.04.1 is. It is the cd with those updates included.
[17:16] <Sysi> since what we haven't been official?
[17:19] <Pres-Gas> Ahhh...Install media
[17:20] <jst> Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[17:20] <jst> Yeah, just seems like there'd be a lot less downloading if I could download 10.04.1 instead of 10.04 and updating for minutes/hours on some of these slower machines. :)
[17:23] <charlie-tca> We have always been an unsupported dirivative
[17:23] <charlie-tca> My mistake, we are an official, unsupported distribution
[17:23]  * charlie-tca thinks ENGLISH got in the way
[17:24] <Sysi> ah
[17:27]  * Pres-Gas runs "sudo aptitude install language-support-en" on charlie-tca
[17:27] <charlie-tca> Thanks
[17:28] <Pres-Gas> de nada, charlie-tca
[17:28] <Pres-Gas> :P
[17:29] <charlie-tca> anyway, what I said still applies. We don't get updated cd images of 10.04
[21:17] <zerothis> 'm having a problems with _some_ OpenGL apps crashing (that did not before). I'm on xubuntu karmic (because later versions do not work), using intel 2.4 drivers (because later versions...). <http://pastebin.com/T1dd68v7>
[21:20] <KE1HA> zerothis:  are you using the i915 BIOS hack ? the i855 has lots fo trouble,s but there's several work arounds for it: http://915resolution.mango-lang.org/
[21:30] <zerothis> I have a Compaq Presario M2000us if that matters. not heard of that hack until now, thank you. is it possible to have Xserver 6.8.2 on my system (currently have 1.6.5)? wait, it says the hack will be incorporated in an upcoming xorg release? that was in 2007. maybe I do have it. perhaps I should use the 855 hack its based on (if I'm not?)?
[21:41] <KE1HA> zerothis:  There's several problems with i855, mostly do do with Intel outsourcing a series of chipsets, and it was a driver restriction at one point. Here's another i855 resouce that solves some of the initial problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[21:43] <KE1HA> zerothis:  the i915 hack / module is in the latest Kernels, and is compatible with the latest version of X-Org. Still, some users needed to enact work arounds at install to get the final product installed.
[21:44] <zerothis> I tried the freezes fix already, ppa:glasen/intel-driver never connects for me, so I can't download from it
[21:45] <KE1HA> zerothis:  Also, I've found that using the ALT-ISO, which uses the ncurses debian-install v.s. the Ubiquity Installs also gets around the installation freezes.
[21:49] <zerothis> strangely, both the lucid DESKTOP and ALT CDs froze for lucid. I put the drive in a desktop and used unetbootin to successfully make a bootable installation. but it wouldn't boot on my laptop, froze after the "xubuntu" logo. jaunty froze as well with this method, only intrepid and karmic would boot
[21:52] <zerothis> Maverick kernel? havn't tried that yet. are 855 cards blacklisted in Maverick's xorg? Proprietary drivers for intel now?
[21:53] <KE1HA> zerothis:  Im not sure about maverick. You could also try using no acpi and i915=nomodet=0 with the ALT ISO
