| craigwdy2k | Is the Debian Weekly Build essentially an Debian Installer that installs Testing & gives you a choice of either XFCE or LXDE...? Because that's what I suspect it might be... Anybody here ever tried this flavor of Debian...? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| craigwdy2k | Well: I have no better ideas so I guess I'll have to be the guinea pig... Wish me luck... | 00:14 |
| craigwdy2k | If the Debian Testing based distro has any issues I'll probably try PC/OS next... | 00:17 |
| knome | craigwdy2k, please, this is a xubuntu support channel. | 00:18 |
| craigwdy2k | Oh well: if I could get that ISO to boot I wouldn't be in the position I'm in now... | 00:19 |
| craigwdy2k | Either of the two actually... | 00:20 |
| illmind | hey all. I need some help. I'm trying to update linux from current: "Linux gen 2.6.31-22-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 18 22:54:26 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux" to the next version but I dont have enough room | 01:24 |
| illmind | what is the best place to find unneeded temporary files? | 01:25 |

| pfifo | whats the best application to view and print pdf files with? xpdf is ugly and hurts my eyes, evince wants to install 600MB of gnome packages, any suggestions? | 14:49 |
| pfifo | will adobe reader work correctly? | 14:51 |
| charlie-tca | What version of Xubuntu? | 14:52 |
| charlie-tca | evince should have been a default installed application in Xubuntu. Which version are you running that did not install it? | 14:53 |
| pfifo | charlie-tca, well technically its 8.04 ubuntu minimal install with xfce4 added on later, mostly a server box so Im trying to avoid installing tons of gui stuff | 14:54 |
| pfifo | but atm im in need of something to view a pdf | 14:55 |
| charlie-tca | I haven't used adobe reader in several years. I pretty stay with evince now. | 14:55 |
| Sysi | you still can't use xpdf? | 14:55 |
| pfifo | is it possible to twist dpkg's arm and make it not install a bunch of recommended and extras | 14:56 |
| pfifo | xpdf works, but the important part of this solution is printing | 14:56 |
| pfifo | xpdf dosent like printers | 14:56 |
| charlie-tca | There is a "--no-recommended" or similar command for aptitude, I think, that installs without the extra packages | 14:58 |
| charlie-tca | That may not allow evince to work though | 14:58 |
| Sysi | apt-get for some reason installs less useless stuff than aptitude | 14:59 |
| charlie-tca | but no matter how you force the package to install without dependencies and recommends, it may not work right | 15:00 |
| pfifo | yeah but i mean its a pdf viewer, 252MB is kinda heavy. Why on earth dose evince need esound-daemon? do they put mp3's in pdf's now-a-days? | 15:00 |
| Sysi | you actually can put .exe in pdf | 15:01 |
| pfifo | yes, but i think you see what i mean | 15:01 |
| Sysi | some stuff are just packaging, if not libraries or something | 15:01 |
| pfifo | i guess ill just go with xpdf then, google docs can be a pretty looking front end if i really need it | 15:03 |
| pfifo | also, im using 10.04 at the moment and I love simple-scan, why cant i install thins on 8.04 | 15:04 |
| charlie-tca | it wasn't written for it | 15:05 |
| charlie-tca | I think the libraries in 8.04 are too old for the simple-scan app | 15:06 |
| pfifo | is it part of gnome? | 15:07 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know | 15:14 |

| ircipimp | hi | 22:53 |
| ircipimp | a friend of mine just looked at my firefox browser and notified the beautiful font. I use the default shipped with x-lucid, which is named "sans" in the control widget. how can i figure out, which font it actually is? I couldn't find any font just named "sans". | 22:54 |
| ircipimp | it's not FreeSans | 22:55 |
| ircipimp | that's what i found out | 22:55 |
| knome | ircipimp, dejavu sans? | 22:55 |
| ircipimp | yes... i tried by switching to the fonts in question and every time the rendering in firefox changed. for dejavu sans it did not change, so i think this should be it. | 22:57 |
| ircipimp | is there a way to figure that out without knowing beforehand? | 22:57 |
| knome | yes, it should be dejavu sans | 22:57 |
| knome | ircipimp, umm... there is some link from sans to dejavu sans somewhere, but i don't know where that is | 22:57 |
| ircipimp | ok, thanks a lot | 22:58 |
| knome | i mean, dejavu sans is specifically set for the default sans font, but i don't know where that is | 22:58 |
| knome | no problem | 22:58 |
| ircipimp | yes, i'll have a look at /usr with some find-hackery. | 23:00 |
| ircipimp | n8 | 23:00 |
