| pteague | any way i can run the install disk & see the output from attempting "try xubuntu" instead of the uninformative graphic screen that just sits there? had a power outage today & having issues getting the box to boot past a certain point so popped my live cd in (used it to install the box i'm having issues with now, my work laptop, & this box so i know it works) & i get the language selection screen, & then i choose "try xubuntu" i get the n | 02:32 |
| pteague | ice black xubuntu screen & doesn't do anything else | 02:32 |

| mistere357 | new xubuntu user here with a question... how do I connect to a samba server? In Ubuntu there is a "Connect to Server" option but I don't see it here | 03:10 |
| mistere357 | I hasten to add that Google searches have not been of any help | 03:11 |
| mistere357 | must go to sleep... back later | 03:15 |

| TrueNhero | what is wmdock?? | 04:08 |
| shrmn | !wmdock | 04:11 |
| shrmn | hmm. | 04:11 |
| shrmn | oh, a pm | 04:11 |
| shrmn | apparently it doesn't know anything about wmdock and is too embarassed to say so publicly. | 04:12 |
| moetunes | heh | 04:16 |
| shrmn | I am a noob, too. Just thought I'd give it a try. Found this on Google: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-wmdock-plugin | 04:19 |
| shrmn | I guess it is true. The people trying to help you don't know much more than you. I installed xubuntu on Saturday. | 04:19 |
| moetunes | I have never heard anything referred to as a wmdock in 6 years of linux use | 04:20 |
| charlie-tca | !info wmdock | 04:22 |
| ubottu | Package wmdock does not exist in maverick | 04:22 |
| moetunes | !find wmdock | 04:23 |
| ubottu | Found: xfce4-wmdock-plugin | 04:23 |
| moetunes | seems like it is a pretty specific type of app then | 04:23 |
| shrmn | A gadget dock for xfce wm | 04:34 |
| shrmn | it appears | 04:34 |

| knome | other than those, i have no ideas since i don't use pidgin often, and even when i do, not with oscar/aol | 13:21 |

| nicofs | Is there a way to speed up the boot process for pcs with SSD? | 14:28 |
| Sysi | what kind of SSD | 14:29 |
| Sysi | enabling TRIM-support is possible, but i'm not completely sure if it's riskful if hardware doesn't support it properly | 14:30 |
| nicofs | OCZ Vertex, SATA, 2.5" 60GB. | 14:30 |
| nicofs | it says "Trim support" on the box... | 14:31 |
| Sysi | it should be pretty darn fast already out of box | 14:33 |
| Sysi | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives#Mount_Flags | 14:33 |
| nicofs | Sysi: well... not really - at least not as much as I expected... but since installing the SSD, I did not change any settings... | 14:34 |
| Sysi | netbook? | 14:34 |
| Sysi | atom is slow, on my dualcore this really flies | 14:35 |
| nicofs | netbook and pc... will compare^^ | 14:36 |

| Rakko | My Xubuntu 10.10 is up to date (as of yesterday), and plymouth keeps hanging the computer. When this happens, my display goes blank and the monitor's power light is amber. I can kill it with magic sysrq, but if I do that I can't boot into gdm. If I don't pass "splash" on the kernel command line, everything runs fine. Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? | 21:42 |
| Rakko | plymouth was already causing this problem even before I did last night's updates; I updated because I thought it might fix it. But probably a week ago plymouth ran fine. | 21:44 |
| charlie-tca | Rakko, sounds like incompatibility between plymouth and your video card. The known fix/workaround is remove splash | 21:44 |
| Rakko | right | 21:44 |
| charlie-tca | If you edit /etc/default/grub , you can remove splash and not have to do that for each boot | 21:44 |
| Rakko | I'd like to have the splash, though | 21:45 |
| Rakko | maybe I should downgrade my plymouth packages, you think? | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | Not unless you want other issues | 21:45 |
| Rakko | my video card is some sort of onboard Radeon... something like X300. I'm not at the computer to check right now. | 21:45 |
| Sysi | having no splash don't by default bring wall of text back | 21:46 |
| Rakko | It used to work flawlessly | 21:46 |
| Sysi | what if you press M when it hangs? | 21:46 |
| Rakko | I haven't tried it. What's M supposed to do? | 21:48 |
| Sysi | mounting problems, fstab, can cause that kind of issue | 21:48 |
| Rakko | oh, where it gives the option to skip or do manual recovery? I'm not getting that | 21:49 |
| Sysi | it won't necessarily show up | 21:49 |
| Rakko | I was getting that a few days ago, when I had obsolete entries in fstab. But they're gone now | 21:49 |
| Rakko | I have a bug to file on that one, too | 21:50 |
| Rakko | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/575808 looks like my problem; same video card | 21:52 |
| Rakko | this says it's occasional... maybe I just hadn't ever experienced it before | 21:52 |
| Rakko | how do I start xubuntu using a regular VGA console instead of the framebuffer one? | 22:04 |
| Sunnis | hi? I am new to xubuntu.. was followinf instructions on sharing a drive on the network with windows computers.. | 22:16 |
| Sunnis | did shares-admin in terminal.. the instructions say to set the drive as SMB but I don't get that option | 22:18 |
| Sunnis | i can only choose nfs | 22:19 |
| charlie-tca | You installed samba? | 22:19 |
| Sunnis | what is samba? | 22:20 |
| charlie-tca | samba is what you need for SMB | 22:21 |
| charlie-tca | !samba | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 22:21 |
| Sunnis | ahh cool thanks | 22:21 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 22:21 |
| Sunnis | ok i installed samba but it does not show up in the program menu | 22:22 |
| charlie-tca | As far as I know, samba does not show in the menu. It is an interface to the windows drive | 22:23 |
| charlie-tca | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 22:23 |
| Sunnis | oh... that is not what i am trying to do | 22:24 |
| Sunnis | I am not trying to mount a windows drive here.. I have an ntfs partition on this hard drive I want to share on a network | 22:24 |
| Rakko | you need to mount the ntfs and then use samba to serve it | 22:26 |
| shrmn | Can anyone point me to a good guide for paring xubuntu down more? I am trying to get it using less resources. | 22:26 |
| charlie-tca | shrmn, google? | 22:27 |
| shrmn | I've been finding 10.04 guides. Is there much that will get me hung up if I am using 10.10? | 22:28 |
| charlie-tca | should be about the same | 22:28 |
| Sunnis | it is mounted.. how do i use samba to share it? | 22:29 |
| Rakko | charlie-tca: what search terms would you google? | 22:32 |
| Rakko | Sunnis: look for a samba howto | 22:32 |
| Rakko | Samba has a web interface that sets up shares for you. I haven't used it in several years, though (or samba at all) | 22:33 |
| charlie-tca | Rakko, I guess "xubuntu lighter"? I don't really know, since I wouldn't do it | 22:34 |
| Rakko | xubuntu is plenty light for me so far | 22:34 |
| Rakko | I only have 1 GB of RAM and it's faster than my Macbook | 22:34 |
| Rakko | which has 2 | 22:35 |
| shrmn | I'm on a pIII 933mhz 512 mb ram so I am just trying to eek out as much performance as I can. | 22:35 |
| Rakko | of course my MB is only 32-bit too | 22:35 |
| Rakko | 'eek' is right ;) | 22:35 |
| shrmn | Don't even know if I'd actually slice anything off. | 22:35 |
| charlie-tca | I would think the proper way to do it is start with the minimal install, and add enough pieces to make everything work | 22:36 |
| shrmn | Well, when I looked over the minimal install page on the ubuntu wiki, it was talking about 100mhz procs and 64mb ram so I figured I was good for a base install of xubuntu with my specs | 22:37 |
| shrmn | I'm going to give a try to things like switching to Midori from Firefox a try before I get too involved. | 22:37 |
| charlie-tca | Your specs should be good for a standard Xubuntu install. | 22:38 |
| shrmn | I'm reasonably happy with the performance. Just a constant tweaker is all. | 22:38 |
| moetunes | I find an improvement from not using a *dm | 22:41 |
| charlie-tca | Try different browsers; epiphany and midori, try removing games, try different themes in appearance and window manager, remove apps you won't use, like gimp and abiword and gnumeric | 22:42 |
| Sysi | use the adblock of midori | 22:43 |
| shrmn | Definitely. Good tips. | 22:43 |
| shrmn | midori + adblock is my first stop. | 22:44 |
| Rakko | I'd never heard of midori | 22:44 |
| Rakko | I used to like Galeon back in the day... that was nice and fast. Also Skipstone, but I never used it much. | 22:45 |
| Rakko | I wonder how Chrome does on a bottom-of-the-line computer | 22:46 |
| Sysi | chromium uses way too much memory | 22:47 |
| Sysi | (with multiple tabs) | 22:47 |
| shrmn | I was surprised by how much of a memory hog chromium/chrome is. | 22:52 |
| shrmn | midori is lightweight webkit browser. | 22:52 |
| Rakko | nice. will have to check it out. | 23:04 |
