[02:32] <pteague> ice black xubuntu screen & doesn't do anything else
[02:33] <pteague> hah, nm... i just realized something... it's 1 of my boxes with the bad dvd drive i was going to replace...
[03:10] <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
[03:11] <mistere357> I hasten to add that Google searches have not been of any help
[03:15] <mistere357> must go to sleep... back later

[04:08] <TrueNhero> what is wmdock??
[04:11] <shrmn> !wmdock
[04:11] <shrmn> hmm.
[04:11] <shrmn> oh, a pm
[04:12] <shrmn> apparently it doesn't know anything about wmdock and is too embarassed to say so publicly.
[04:16] <moetunes> heh
[04:19] <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.
[04:20] <moetunes> I have never heard anything referred to as a wmdock in 6 years of linux use
[04:22] <charlie-tca> !info wmdock
[04:23] <moetunes> !find wmdock
[04:23] <moetunes> seems like it is a pretty specific type of app then
[04:34] <shrmn> A gadget dock for xfce wm
[04:34] <shrmn> it appears

[13:19] <knome> did you restart pidgin after disabling?
[13:19] <aindigo> No
[13:20] <knome> maybe try that
[13:20] <knome> also, there is a bug #506647 about that
[13:20] <knome> search for "mc-tool" in the page, maybe that comment could help...
[13:21] <knome> other than those, i have no ideas since i don't use pidgin often, and even when i do, not with oscar/aol
[13:24] <aindigo> No good result. Server is login.messaging.aol.com

[14:28] <nicofs> Is there a way to speed up the boot process for pcs with SSD?
[14:29] <Sysi> what kind of SSD
[14:30] <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.
[14:31] <nicofs> it says "Trim support" on the box...
[14:33] <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
[14:34] <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?
[14:35] <Sysi> atom is slow, on my dualcore this really flies
[14:36] <nicofs> netbook and pc... will compare^^
[14:36] <nicofs> vorhin war er da
[14:37] <nicofs> sorry, wrong window
[15:11] <nicofs> Sysi: my boot time with ssd on a netbook now is about 25sec from pressing the "on" button. is that ok?

[20:55] <shrmn> Can anyone point me to a good guide for paring xubuntu down more?
[21:42] <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?
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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.
[21:46] <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?
[21:48] <Rakko> I haven't tried it. What's M supposed to do?
[21:48] <Sysi> mounting problems, fstab, can cause that kind of issue
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <Rakko> I have a bug to file on that one, too
[21:52] <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
[22:04] <Rakko> how do I start xubuntu using a regular VGA console instead of the framebuffer one?
[22:16] <Sunnis> hi? I am new to xubuntu..  was followinf instructions on sharing a drive on the network with windows computers..
[22:18] <Sunnis> did shares-admin in terminal.. the instructions say to set the drive as SMB but I don't get that option
[22:19] <Sunnis> i can only choose nfs
[22:19] <charlie-tca> You installed samba?
[22:20] <Sunnis> what is samba?
[22:21] <charlie-tca> samba is what you need for SMB
[22:21] <charlie-tca> !samba
[22:21] <Sunnis> ahh cool thanks
[22:21] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[22:22] <Sunnis> ok i installed samba but it does not show up in the program menu
[22:23] <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
[22:24] <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
[22:26] <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.
[22:27] <charlie-tca> shrmn, google?
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <Sunnis> it is mounted.. how do i use samba to share it?
[22:32] <Rakko> charlie-tca: what search terms would you google?
[22:32] <Rakko> Sunnis: look for a samba howto
[22:33] <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)
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <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.
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <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.
[22:38] <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.
[22:41] <moetunes> I find an improvement from not using a *dm
[22:42] <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
[22:43] <Sysi> use the adblock of midori
[22:43] <shrmn> Definitely. Good tips.
[22:44] <shrmn> midori + adblock is my first stop.
[22:44] <Rakko> I'd never heard of midori
[22:45] <Rakko> I used to like Galeon back in the day... that was nice and fast. Also Skipstone, but I never used it much.
[22:46] <Rakko> I wonder how Chrome does on a bottom-of-the-line computer
[22:47] <Sysi> chromium uses way too much memory
[22:47] <Sysi> (with multiple tabs)
[22:52] <shrmn> I was surprised by how much of a memory hog chromium/chrome is.
[22:52] <shrmn> midori is lightweight webkit browser.
[23:04] <Rakko> nice. will have to check it out.
