VerminatorI currently have Ubuntu (Gnome DE) installed on my laptop.  It works ok, but is sort of sluggish.  I see I can install xfce or lxde.  If I install one of those:01:39
Verminator1 -if I continue to use the gnome apps, will I see a performace increase?01:39
Verminator2- will I still be able to use Ubuntu one?01:39
Verminator3- any negatives for installing the alternate DEs?01:39
seidosVerminator, to be honest, i've tried the other DE's.  the performance increase is in that they use less ram, but the performance bumps aren't earth shattering.  do you use compiz?01:42
seidosyou actually might have a more responsive desktop with desktop effect enabled, assuming your video card can handle it01:43
Verminatorseidos, no all effects are turned off01:43
Verminatorseidos, really, turning the effects on may INCREASE performance?01:44
VerminatorI have a build it video card, so I dont think its all too powerful.01:44
seidosVerminator, yeah, i think so.  i have integrated intel graphics, and i think desktop effects improve the desktop experience01:44
seidosVerminator, you really aren't going to know until you try it though.  so install xfce, perhaps fluxbox.  try desktop effects, then see what you think.01:45
Verminatorseidos, thx for the heads up.01:46
Verminatorseidos, with the alt DEs, any negative side effects?  I do lke the gnome apps I'm currently using and I wanted to start syncing my PC/laptop w/ ubuntu-one.  IS this still possible w/ the new DEs?01:47
seidosVerminator, i think it'll still work.  i'm not sure about performance hits using an alternate DE.  what i'm guessing is there just won't be a spectacular performance gain (which is what i think you are looking for)01:48
seidosthe only gnome (gtk) program i used when using lxde and enlightenment was nmapplet i think01:49
Verminatorseidos, ok, thx again, I really appreciate the input01:52
seidosVerminator, try out the alternate DEs and come back and tell me about it.  i'd be interested in your take on the experience.01:52
Verminatorseidos, ok, will do01:53
VerminatorI guess this brings up a kind of fundamental question. Since Gnome, xfce, lxde all use the GTK toolkit, to me it would seem they would all perform equally well using gnome applications.  Pure speculation, but would seem logical.01:56
=== johnny is now known as Guest68127
johnny77I have installed Ubuntu using Wubi and thinking of switching, but have two windows based programs I need. And want to insure there is proper ubuntu alternatives before I completely switch. Any one have suggestions for iTunes or Quicken alternatives?02:12
seidosjohnny77, rhythmbox is the itunes alternative.  not sure about quicken.02:13
johnny77will rhythmbox sync with my iPhone?02:13
seidosjohnny77, eh, i don't know.  i use rhythmbox with my 5th gen ipod, and it doesn't really "sync".  you have to move music over from your music collection to your ipod by dragging files over.02:14
b234johnny77: no, it won't synch with the iphone02:15
johnny77is there an iTunes alternative that will sync with the iphone?02:15
b234not that I've found02:15
johnny77Does anyone know if I can set up a dual boot, using a SD disk drive for Ubuntu?02:16
seidosjohnny77, SD disk?02:17
johnny77yeah, I have a netbook that has a slot for the disk that are usually used in digital cameras.02:17
stlsaintjohnny77: yes you can install ubuntu on a ssd if you would like02:24
johnny77would it run faster on a removable ssd or on my HD? I'm just afraid of losing data with the required partition change.02:27
scribawfHow do I force a kernal update?02:30

shahanmy md5sum is not matching07:05
shahancan I make it recover without downloading (xubuntu 10.04 desktop i386 )07:05
aveilleuxshahan: If the md5sum of something doesn't match, that means you need to redownload it.07:11
aveilleuxshahan: The md5sum is a verification check that shows that all of the bits are in the right place. If it fails, you can't really just magically "fix" it07:11
shahanI have downloaded a xubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso but its md5sum(702262eca412b79026d3cab0a8e7f5fa) is not matching. where the correct one will be 7f064bc012025a5307ef6d81b0bc4c87 (according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes )07:17
