| charlie-tca | anybody know where to change fonts and preferences in pidgin? | 01:24 |

| bill_ | how do i enable portable apps on xubuntu | 02:19 |
| moetunes | are they windows .exe progs? | 02:21 |
| bill_ | no linux - i have sigil in a .bin package that is exectable under ubuntu 10.04 | 02:23 |
| moetunes | in terminal does /path/to/portableapp not work? | 02:23 |
| bill_ | no | 02:24 |
| bill_ | under ubuntu clicking in file manager will activate app | 02:25 |
| moetunes | there should be no difference in xubuntu from ubuntu in that regard - are they executable? | 02:26 |
| Guest62124 | and if you tried to run it in the terminal, weren't there any error messages output? Is the target architecture correct - eg. 32bit, 64bit? How do you know they are portable and don't require any libraries installed on the system? | 02:27 |
| bill_ | also when right click propertie/permissions will give the opportunity to make executable - no choice xubuntu | 02:27 |
| Guest62124 | Yeah, Thunar, Xubuntu file manager, is limited in this respect, you would have to set the executable bit by other means (read: Terminal) | 02:28 |
| moetunes | I make things executable through thunar | 02:28 |
| Guest62124 | as far as I remember it allows you only to make *.sh executable | 02:29 |
| moetunes | could be | 02:29 |
| bill_ | the package came from a website that supplies no install binaries - everthing included in binary - used for usb transport | 02:29 |
| moetunes | was it here - http://portablelinuxapps.org/ - ? | 02:29 |
| bill_ | yes | 02:30 |
| moetunes | it says there to make the app executable and away you go | 02:30 |
| bill_ | have tried chmod - no go | 02:31 |
| moetunes | any error msgs? | 02:31 |
| bill_ | no just returns to prompt | 02:31 |
| moetunes | chmod -v a+x /path | 02:31 |
| bill_ | correct | 02:31 |
| Guest62124 | apps tested in GNOME - in the footer - it is possible that they aren't that portable and they rely on some GNOME libraries ;) an you're running them under xfce - just a guess | 02:32 |
| moetunes | using the -v switch always returns something | 02:32 |
| bill_ | am using xfce | 02:33 |
| bill_ | returns to prompt after repeating file name | 02:33 |
| moetunes | it should say something about the mode being changed or not | 02:34 |
| moetunes | not just the filename | 02:34 |
| bill_ | i'll try again and the switch to xubuntu and try again if that fails i guess i'll get the install pack - thanks for help | 02:35 |
| moetunes | luck :) | 02:36 |
| bill_ | later! | 02:36 |

| basic123 | hi | 13:09 |
| knome | hello | 13:11 |
| basic123 | I have installed xubuntu | 13:11 |
| knome | right | 13:11 |
| basic123 | in system monitor | 13:11 |
| basic123 | my memory 56,7% | 13:12 |
| basic123 | swap 6,1% | 13:12 |
| basic123 | fresh install | 13:12 |
| basic123 | from cd lucid | 13:13 |
| basic123 | 56% = 281.7 MiB of 496.4 MiB | 13:14 |
| basic123 | system running firefox, xchat, install driver nvidia, and system monitor | 13:15 |
| basic123 | wheter is normal? | 13:17 |
| moetunes | how many tabs open in firefox tho | 13:18 |
| basic123 | one tab | 13:19 |
| basic123 | google transalte | 13:19 |
| knome | well, firefox takes a lot of memory. | 13:19 |
| knome | there are alternatives, like epiphany or midori. | 13:20 |
| moetunes | nvidia drivers sometimes make X use alot of memory | 13:21 |
| basic123 | my firefox closed and memory 243.6 MiB | 13:21 |
| basic123 | nvidia driver downloading and isntalling now | 13:23 |
| moetunes | what does the system monitor say is using the most memory then?? | 13:24 |
| knome | i've heard maverick might be faster with systems with low memory than lucid | 13:25 |
| basic123 | i dont understand about processes in sytem monitor | 13:26 |
| basic123 | what status sleeping? | 13:27 |
| basic123 | now cpu 100% | 13:30 |
| knome | constantly? | 13:30 |
| basic123 | no | 13:32 |
| basic123 | down and up | 13:32 |
| knome | that's normal | 13:33 |
| basic123 | oke, i want to restart my computer.. driver installed | 13:33 |
| knome | sure | 13:33 |
| basic123 | yup... i ll back again later | 13:34 |
| basic123 | I am back | 13:39 |
| basic123 | now memory is 136.8 MiB(27,6%) CPU is 20% | 13:41 |
| moetunes | what sort of processor are you using? | 13:41 |
| basic123 | intel celeron cpu 2.66GHz | 13:42 |
| moetunes | that seems a little bit much cpu if you don't have much open | 13:44 |
| moetunes | I would open a terminal and run top it shows things in an easy to read manner | 13:44 |
| moetunes | hit q to quit it | 13:44 |
| knome | htop > top | 13:45 |
| basic123 | htop is not installed | 13:46 |
| knome | sudo apt-get install htop | 13:46 |
| basic123 | ok | 13:46 |
| knome | brb | 13:46 |
| basic123 | in htop | 13:49 |
| basic123 | cpu 5.8% | 13:50 |
| basic123 | mem 133 | 13:50 |
| basic123 | swp 0 | 13:50 |
| moetunes | that's fine then :) | 13:51 |
| moetunes | it'll be xchat using the cpu I suppose | 13:52 |
| basic123 | yup xchat and htop are runnning now | 13:54 |
| moetunes | open a firefox and see what happens | 13:54 |
| basic123 | now cpu 7.8% and mem 158 | 13:56 |
| moetunes | that's not too bad for that sort of cpu | 13:57 |
| basic123 | up and down cpu: 4 - 8 | 13:58 |
| basic123 | why cpu not stable? | 13:59 |
| basic123 | memory is constant | 13:59 |
| moetunes | it'll be xchat updating afaik | 14:00 |
| basic123 | cpu can reach up 70% suddenly and down again | 14:01 |
| moetunes | if you want an easy way to monitor things you should try conky or something similar | 14:01 |
| moetunes | cpu spikes can be lots of things like X or cron or... | 14:03 |
| basic123 | yup I understand | 14:05 |
| basic123 | thank you for all... | 14:15 |
| basic123 | I quit | 14:15 |
