| likemindead | Nu-Buntu, try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" at a prompt. | 02:39 |
| likemindead | (And then reboot.) | 02:42 |
| Nu-Buntu | ok at the start you mean ctrl+alt+f1 into terminal? | 02:43 |
| likemindead | That'll do it. | 02:44 |
| Nu-Buntu | didn't work it is still showing horizontal lines | 02:50 |

| Nu-Buntu | ya | 02:56 |
| Nu-Buntu | i tired the sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart also | 02:56 |
| Nu-Buntu | no luck | 02:56 |
| likemindead | What'd you do to upset it? | 03:04 |
| ToStItOs | How do drag and drop my videos files from my music folder to my usb flash drive? | 03:10 |
| likemindead | What's the problem? | 03:11 |
| ToStItOs | when I try to drag my media files to my flash drive they just drag back to the music folder | 03:11 |
| likemindead | Highlight, copy, & paste? | 03:12 |
| ToStItOs | tried that too no luck | 03:13 |
| likemindead | Weird permissions? | 03:13 |
| Nu-Buntu | likemindead I was just messing around with the resolution thinking it would switch back if i messed up but it didn't | 03:13 |
| ToStItOs | How do I fix that? | 03:13 |
| likemindead | !permissions | 03:14 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 03:14 |
| ToStItOs | I lost some media files in the process trying to mess with VLC. I did convert and save and now I cant play my files anymore. Are my files lost forever? | 03:15 |
| ToStItOs | So does anyone know how do I execute a permission for my flash drive (sorry new at this) | 03:18 |

| Balsaq | good morning Lords of the Code... | 06:30 |
| xubuntu183 | hi | 06:51 |
| Balsaq | does anyone know how to speed up xubuntu by using a flash drive? | 08:25 |
| Sysi | if you're not talking about ssd disk, i strongly doubt it's possible | 08:28 |
| Balsaq | i am updating my ole 9.04 xubuntu as we speak | 08:31 |
| Balsaq | i heard the updates were all done now? | 08:31 |
| Balsaq | must not be yet | 08:31 |
| Sysi | i still could someday try putting swap partition to usb-drive, as fast as possible | 08:31 |
| Sysi | they do have fast search times | 08:32 |
| Balsaq | hmmm | 08:32 |
| Sysi | "updatea all done now"? | 08:32 |
| Balsaq | sounds possible | 08:32 |
| Sysi | *updates | 08:32 |
| Balsaq | is xubuntu 904 all finished now are they done supposrting it? | 08:32 |
| Sysi | !9.04 | 08:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 08:33 |
| Balsaq | ok so it ended 3 days ago | 08:33 |
| Balsaq | i just reinstalled it | 08:33 |
| Balsaq | and i am getting 259 updates | 08:33 |
| Balsaq | so they must quit giving new updates...but the old ones still happen. | 08:34 |
| Sysi | all mirrors not down yet | 08:34 |
| Balsaq | ahhh ok thats why | 08:34 |
| Balsaq | so when the mirrors are all down....wut will happen to my old 904 | 08:34 |
| Balsaq | just no more updates right? | 08:35 |
| Sysi | afaik no repositories | 08:35 |
| Balsaq | but i can still use synaptic for what it has in ther before i hope? | 08:35 |
| Sysi | no if nobody provides packages | 08:35 |
| Balsaq | in other words i can still installany software that was in its repository before they cut it off..i hope | 08:36 |
| Sysi | not sure but i think not | 08:36 |
| Balsaq | or else i would have to go in now and check off everything and install all of them now! | 08:36 |
| Balsaq | hehe | 08:36 |
| Sysi | i wonder if i needed less than 512mb to test that swap-thing | 08:36 |
| Balsaq | see this computer only has 256 so it perfect to test it | 08:37 |
| Balsaq | yet it runs good on the 256 | 08:37 |
| Sysi | usb2.0? | 08:37 |
| Balsaq | yes | 08:37 |
| Balsaq | i think so | 08:37 |
| Sysi | 1.1 is killing slow | 08:37 |
| Balsaq | just did 259 updates in like 7 minutes | 08:37 |
| Balsaq | on a ole 2.26 single core and 256 slow ram | 08:38 |
| Balsaq | 904 still runs fast | 08:38 |
| Balsaq | but if i lose synaptic entirely its dead | 08:38 |
| Balsaq | ill bet is i make a big swap on a 2.0 flash drive it will fly | 08:39 |
| Balsaq | ubuntu wont run like this on 256...not the new one anyway | 08:39 |
| Sysi | fast development, i now have 4gb | 08:41 |
| Balsaq | wow | 08:41 |
| Balsaq | on xubuntu? | 08:41 |
| Sysi | yes | 08:41 |
| Balsaq | ram? | 08:41 |
| Balsaq | holy shiddt | 08:41 |
| Sysi | don't really need but got it kinda cheap | 08:42 |
| Balsaq | be careful u may get hurt | 08:42 |
| Balsaq | i have a machine with xp and ubuntu and it has 4 gigs of ram | 08:42 |
| Sysi | and nowdays this isn't high-end | 08:42 |
| Balsaq | and i have one with w7 and ubuntu and it has 6 gigs of ram | 08:43 |
| Balsaq | ru running 32 bit | 08:43 |
| n2diy | I just built a 10.04 box, is there an "easy" way to clone my 8.04 box to the 10.04 box? | 08:46 |
| Balsaq | ru talking about clonezilla? | 08:47 |
| Sysi | n2diy: settings etc? | 08:47 |
| Sysi | or programs | 08:48 |
| n2diy | Sysi: obviously /home, but also everything I've added with synaptic too. | 08:48 |
| n2diy | Balsaq: I don't know? | 08:48 |
| Sysi | there's not really good list about installed packages in apt | 08:48 |
| Sysi | there's *something* but it sucked hard when i tried | 08:49 |
| Balsaq | clonezilla will basically take an copy of every byte on your computer | 08:50 |
| n2diy | Balsaq: ok, can I do it over a LAN? | 08:51 |
| Balsaq | i dont know | 08:51 |
| Balsaq | bu they have a chat room | 08:51 |
| Balsaq | and there is a lot of info and vids about it | 08:51 |
| Sysi | i think clonezilla is for backups | 08:51 |
| n2diy | Balsaq: on this server? | 08:51 |
| Balsaq | i am going to get into it myself but havent yet | 08:52 |
| Balsaq | on freenode yes | 08:52 |
| Balsaq | i was there once but only 4-5 ppl were there | 08:52 |
| n2diy | Balsaq: ok, let me see what they have to say, thanks. | 08:52 |
| Balsaq | youtube may show u how? | 08:52 |
| Balsaq | it works like norton ghost but its free | 08:52 |
| Balsaq | still not sure if thats wut u are looking for | 08:53 |
| Sysi | yeah, thatäs for backups, not like that fancy mac-thingy | 08:53 |
| Sysi | *that's | 08:53 |
| Balsaq | ru running 1010 sysi? | 09:03 |
| Sysi | not yet/anymore | 09:03 |
| Sysi | i think updating netbook | 09:03 |
| Balsaq | u were trying it i thought | 09:04 |
| Balsaq | wut di u do go back to 1004? | 09:04 |
| Sysi | it worked better as beta than final :P (fixed now) | 09:04 |
| Sysi | and i put arch to smalles netbook | 09:05 |
| Balsaq | thats odd | 09:05 |
| Balsaq | is arch hard to deal with | 09:05 |
| Sysi | you need to know what you're doing, even if their wiki is great | 09:13 |
| Sysi | IMO installer is horrible | 09:14 |
| Balsaq | yeah i kinda figured that | 09:20 |
| Balsaq | well since 904 is all done i am upgrading | 10:51 |
| bivo | hello, how do I disable tapclick? | 10:52 |
| mark76 | !tapclick | 10:53 |
| mark76 | Oh | 10:53 |
| mark76 | ?tapclick | 10:53 |
| Balsaq | i got a feeling u can't unless we have acoder in here... | 10:55 |
| moetunes | !synaptics | 10:56 |
| ubottu | For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 10:56 |
| Balsaq | Temporary fix I discovered. | 10:57 |
| Balsaq | From the command line: | 10:57 |
| Balsaq | ubuntu:~$ synclient MaxTapTime=0 | 10:57 |
| Balsaq | that does it. Gotta redo it every time I reboot or log out, but it's a fine temporary fix. | 10:57 |
| UT84726 | I am new to linux and am not sure how or why distributions differ and what I should look for in choosing a specific distribution. At this point I am just using a flash drive dist. of Xubuntu. This is my first time in the world of linux | 10:59 |
| bivo | mark76 well I tried this to no avail... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1342660 | 10:59 |
| moetunes | you can put that command in autostarted apps Balsaq | 10:59 |
| bivo | who the hell thought tap click on by default was a good idea? It's the most irritating thing ever concived! | 11:00 |
| Balsaq | ah hah | 11:00 |
| mark76 | What's tapclick? :/ | 11:00 |
| Balsaq | when does 9.10 expire? | 11:00 |
| mark76 | Next year, isn't it? | 11:00 |
| bivo | mark76 its a feature for laptop trackpads, instead of using the click button, tapping clicks, but it's useless as it thinks you're doing it when you don't want to, making you accidentially click on random things | 11:03 |
| Balsaq | seems to be sow? | 11:04 |
| bivo | Balsaq thanks much! it worked! | 11:04 |
| Balsaq | cool | 11:04 |
| Balsaq | i dunno how to do the auto thing someone suggested but that sounds even better | 11:04 |
| Balsaq | i upgraded to 910 and now firefox isnt at the top of my screen anymore? | 11:07 |
| Balsaq | they couldnt possibly have done that? | 11:07 |
| Balsaq | during my upgrde it said abiword is not supported anymore? | 11:54 |
| Balsaq | wassup withthat> | 11:54 |
| Balsaq | ? | 11:54 |
| mark76 | Dunno | 11:56 |
| Balsaq | i wonder who the Whizz Bang is that came up with that idea? | 11:56 |
| mark76 | Sounds a bit odd | 11:56 |
| Balsaq | did we get a new word processor? | 11:56 |
| mark76 | Not that I know of | 11:57 |
| Balsaq | abi word is good | 11:57 |
| Balsaq | in fact i put it on some of my windows computers over OO | 11:57 |
| mark76 | It'd be a shame to lose the only alternative to Ooooo Writer | 11:57 |
| Balsaq | OO runs in the background...big time | 11:57 |
| mark76 | I'm checking Synaptic | 11:58 |
| Balsaq | sucks a lota juice...abiword just sits there quietly until u use it.. | 11:58 |
| Balsaq | ,aybe they mean they just dont support it, but its still there? | 11:58 |
| Balsaq | abi word is just....its just cool | 11:59 |
| Balsaq | it personifies open source software... | 11:59 |
| mark76 | It's still in Synaptic on my system | 12:00 |
| Balsaq | it just said "not suppoerted" | 12:00 |
| mark76 | Ah right | 12:00 |
| Balsaq | big window during my upgrade to 1004 | 12:00 |
| Balsaq | but i say...why? | 12:00 |
| Balsaq | why not? | 12:00 |
| Balsaq | can we vote on this stuff? | 12:01 |
| Balsaq | all in suport odf abiword say....Yeah! | 12:02 |
| mark76 | Aye! | 12:03 |
| Balsaq | i hope 1004 runs faster than 910 | 12:04 |
| Balsaq | i kept 910 for about.....30 minutes? | 12:05 |
| Balsaq | now doing 1004 | 12:05 |
| mark76 | We're on 10.10 now | 12:05 |
| Balsaq | i know but its still a wild cat | 12:05 |
| Balsaq | 1004 is the shhhdddt | 12:05 |
| Balsaq | i have a few computers running it in the ubuntu style and it is a good one | 12:06 |
| mark76 | Abiword appears to be part of the Universe repos | 12:06 |
| Balsaq | i recently used ubuntu 1004 to rescue files from an infected windows computer...wow, what a distro! | 12:08 |

| Balsaq | yes i liked it a lot | 12:08 |
| mark76 | Cool :) | 12:08 |
| Balsaq | well i didint like rescuing their shddt | 12:08 |
| mark76 | 8) | 12:08 |
| Balsaq | but 1004 made it sooo easy | 12:08 |
| Balsaq | its even easier than linux tools that were purposely made for that IMO | 12:09 |
| Balsaq | well if its a known bug then fix it ubutto dont just sit there...sheez | 12:10 |
| mark76 | !ubutto | 12:10 |

| Balsaq | nontheless if he knows about a bug he should get it fixed before it torments a consumer | 12:11 |
| mark76 | Heh | 12:11 |
| mark76 | I don't think AI is quite that advanced yet | 12:12 |
| Balsaq | well this is coders paradise....someone can do it | 12:12 |

| xubuntu276 | Hi how much quicker is xubuntu in comparison to ubuntu? Is there a rule of thumb? | 16:29 |
| likemindead | Not really. | 16:31 |
| xubuntu276 | quicker or rule? | 16:31 |
| likemindead | It is generally quicker. No real rule of thumb. | 16:32 |
| likemindead | If, by quicker, you mean less resource intensive. | 16:32 |
| likemindead | Firefox, OOo, Movie Player will work about the same, etc. | 16:33 |
| xubuntu276 | I have only 512Mb ram and ubuntu 10.04 was quite slow in comparison with 8.04. :( | 16:34 |
| xubuntu276 | Will it help to run xubuntu root on a usb 2.0 stick and have swap and home o?n hard disk? | 16:35 |
| likemindead | I have Xubuntu on Pentium III's and IV's with 512MB RAM and they're quite nice. | 16:36 |
| likemindead | Flash videos are a bit sluggish on the PIII's is all. | 16:36 |
| xubuntu276 | I think flash uses only cpu power and not graphic acceleration as in windows. | 16:37 |
| likemindead | Xubuntu is awesome. Xfce is much less buggy than GNOME, in my experience. | 16:38 |
| xubuntu276 | I did run xubuntu some time ago, but it did not support cut & paste and drag & drop within the stardard programs. ubunutu did in comparison. | 16:40 |
| xubuntu276 | but I will give it a new try | 16:41 |
| xubuntu276 | thanks for your answers I will restart and test now. :) | 16:42 |

| Thibaud | Hi Khedron | 18:48 |
| Thibaud | Thanks for answering. | 18:48 |
| Thibaud | Well, I wanted to install xubuntu on my old PC so I burnt the CD (10.10) but it freezes at the beginning just after the "setting sensors limits" step. | 18:50 |
| Khedron | Thibaud: hmm, how much ram does it have? | 19:25 |
| Thibaud | 512 Meg | 19:25 |
| Khedron | and sorry for the slow reply, was eating dinner :) | 19:25 |
| Thibaud | (np, I'm about to do the same) | 19:26 |
| Thibaud | Do you think that it may be the cause of the problem? | 19:26 |
| Khedron | no 512 should be fine, but, perhaps try the alternative cd, it has a different installer | 19:26 |
| Thibaud | I'm burning the 10.4 to try. | 19:27 |
| Thibaud | But the alternative cd sounds better. | 19:27 |
| Khedron | the alternative cd usually has less install problems | 19:27 |
| Khedron | i've used it on a few machines that dislike the live | 19:28 |
