| rhyfelwr | Good afternoon. | 04:23 |
| rhyfelwr | xubuntu is listed on xbox-linux.org as a distro that supports xbox.. Is it still supported? | 04:26 |
| pleia2 | rhyfelwr: wrong xubuntu | 04:37 |
| pleia2 | you're thinking of xUbuntu, not Xubuntu | 04:38 |
| pleia2 | (quite unfortunate that they decided to give the xbox project pretty much the same name) | 04:38 |
| rhyfelwr | Alright.. | 04:38 |
| rhyfelwr | But I got the irc room name from a site linked from the xbox linux wiki | 04:39 |
| rhyfelwr | I guess they have the link wrong. | 04:39 |
| iamm | hi everyone, i'm trying to open a port for deluge, i've already set it up on the router to portforward but i still get the port closed when i check | 06:23 |

| goundy | Hi guys | 22:02 |
| goundy | alsamixer uses the correct sound card, but xfce4-mixer uses Dummy | 22:03 |
| goundy | It was working before, how could I solve that? | 22:03 |
| goundy | thanks :) | 22:03 |
| goundy | no hints ? | 22:10 |
| sam898889 | hi guys~ thinking of trying out Xubuntu ~ can anyone tell me what are the biggest differences? is it better than gnome env? thanks. | 22:53 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu uses Xfce instead of Gnome | 22:53 |
| charlie-tca | There are more options for the user to set up than in Ubuntu | 22:53 |
| charlie-tca | for some it works much better than Gnome | 22:54 |
| sam898889 | oh really/ | 22:54 |
| charlie-tca | Is it better; you ask that in #xubuntu? Yes, it is far better! | 22:54 |
| sam898889 | im using gnome now can i just install the xde interface without reinstalling the whole OS | 22:55 |
| charlie-tca | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 22:55 |
| knome | sam898889, xfce, not xde :) | 22:55 |
| sam898889 | oops | 22:55 |
| sam898889 | haha sorry my mums talking to me and im not thinking clearly. | 22:56 |
| charlie-tca | good catch, knome | 22:56 |
| sam898889 | haha xfce is what i want | 22:56 |
| sam898889 | how big is the package BTW? | 22:56 |
| charlie-tca | it will install many packages. | 22:56 |
| charlie-tca | the amount it will install will depend on what is already installed | 22:56 |
| sam898889 | ok | 22:57 |
| sam898889 | but i can go and uninstall it all again right? | 22:57 |
| charlie-tca | not as easily | 22:57 |
| charlie-tca | !pure-gnome | 22:57 |
| charlie-tca | !puregnome | 22:57 |
| knome | sam898889, if you install from terminal, you will be told it uses X megs more, and you are prompted; do you want to install [y/n] | 22:57 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 22:57 |
| sam898889 | ok .. | 22:57 |
| sam898889 | let me give it a go then ! | 22:58 |
| sam898889 | 332 | 22:58 |
| sam898889 | MB | 22:58 |
| sam898889 | hehe | 22:58 |
| sam898889 | it looks nicer than gnome to be honest. | 22:59 |
| sam898889 | :D | 22:59 |
| charlie-tca | of course it does. We have knome help us out with art | 23:01 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks, knome | 23:01 |
| * knome whistles and sips some of his drink | 23:01 | |
| knome | charlie-tca, you're welcome. also thank ochosi, he's been building the new theme with me | 23:01 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks, ochosi | 23:01 |
| sam898889 | knome? | 23:02 |
| sam898889 | u do the art work? | 23:02 |

| knome | yes, i do. | 23:02 |
| sam898889 | well then hugs to u myfriend. | 23:02 |
| charlie-tca | sam898889: We have to give knome the credit for "looks nicer than gnome". He does seem to work magic sometimes | 23:02 |
| sam898889 | he does | 23:02 |
| sam898889 | i think it looks really nice. | 23:02 |
| sam898889 | so hugs to him. (or her) | 23:02 |
| knome | thanks for the compliments | 23:03 |
| knome | him, at least the last time i checked | 23:03 |
| sam898889 | not compliments knome its better than that | 23:03 |
| sam898889 | it does look good ~ XXX | 23:03 |
| knome | well, thanks | 23:03 |
| sam898889 | knome where u at? | 23:03 |
| knome | helsinki, capital of finland | 23:03 |
| sam898889 | i know helsinki. | 23:04 |
| joshritger | what startup items can I safely disable to reduce memory usage? | 23:04 |
| sam898889 | < im in cardiff knome. u been here before? | 23:04 |
| knome | joshritger, if you don't use printers, at least cups would be a good thing to remove | 23:04 |
| knome | sam898889, no, not really. only in london of uk places. | 23:04 |
| sam898889 | knome. hehe your welcome to come here anytime ~~ | 23:05 |
| joshritger | knome: should I uninstall it, or just disable it somehow? | 23:05 |
| sam898889 | ok im gonna log into xubuntu now guys !! | 23:05 |
| knome | joshritger, disabling should work. | 23:05 |
| joshritger | knome: do I need pulseaudio enabled? | 23:06 |
| knome | joshritger, well, kind of yes - you need alsa if you don't have pulseaudio. i don't know of any memory benchmarks for those, though. | 23:07 |
| joshritger | ok | 23:07 |
| joshritger | knome: any idea what the "Secret Storage Service" is? | 23:08 |
| knome | joshritger, um, no. i think it might be something about encrypted drives, but i'm not sure | 23:09 |
| knome | joshritger, ah, just read the description. it's the gnome keyring used to save passwords | 23:09 |
| joshritger | knome: then what is "Certificate and Key Storage" | 23:11 |
| knome | it's also gnome keyring stuff | 23:11 |
| joshritger | ok, I may disable and see what happens, I can always re-activate it | 23:11 |
| sam898889 | back !!! | 23:11 |
| sam898889 | in xubuntu now ~ | 23:12 |
| sam898889 | :D | 23:12 |
| charlie-tca | And it looks good! | 23:12 |
| knome | congratulations | 23:12 |
| sam898889 | actually it looks very similar to ubuntu gnome. hahaha | 23:12 |
| sam898889 | and everything works | 23:12 |
| knome | except in blue tones, i assume | 23:13 |
| sam898889 | can u guys do something for me ? if you would be so kind? | 23:13 |
| sam898889 | yeah its all blue and i love it | 23:13 |
| sam898889 | :D | 23:13 |
| knome | !ask | sam898889 | 23:13 |
| ubottu | sam898889: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:13 |
| sam898889 | can u all send me your screen shots so i can see what i can do with xubuntu.... | 23:13 |
| sam898889 | never really used it (or KDE) and wanna see how far i can go with it | 23:13 |
| knome | sam898889, what would you like to do then? | 23:14 |
| charlie-tca | can't get it all in | 23:14 |
| sam898889 | dunno knome. wanna see whats possible :D | 23:14 |
| sam898889 | hehe | 23:14 |
| knome | sam898889, you're on lucid (10.04), right? | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | xchat with 17 channels open, firefox with 40 something tabs open, claws-mail with 10000+ messages, liferea with 20 something accounts, vbox running maverick beta tests, 2 machines at a time | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | and I run the default theme in maverick | 23:16 |
| knome | charlie-tca, my friend once said he drowns in tabs when he's working. i asked how many did he have. he said about 400-600. | 23:16 |
| knome | default theme in maverick == http://shimmerproject.org/files/2010/08/Bluebird-0.2.0.png | 23:17 |
| sam898889 | knome yeah 10.04 | 23:17 |
| charlie-tca | hmm, I don't why you would want to do that to yourself, but maybe it is needed by him. | 23:17 |
| knome | charlie-tca, yep, definitely. i can only think of how slow his machine is... | 23:17 |
| charlie-tca | Just to show off my clock - http://imagebin.org/112212 | 23:19 |
| ridin | i misread clock | 23:26 |
| charlie-tca | lol | 23:27 |
| knome | ahem | 23:28 |
| charlie-tca | family channel? | 23:28 |
| knome | that | 23:29 |
| * charlie-tca thinks "clock" is clean, but the minds here might be questionable | 23:29 | |
