| charlie-tca | okay | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| bonixavier | Lubuntu requires only 60. that's lightweight | 00:00 |
| charlie-tca | Then perhaps you prefer lubuntu? | 00:00 |
| charlie-tca | We are in a competition to be lighter than it is | 00:00 |
| charlie-tca | no | 00:00 |
| charlie-tca | sorry, worded that wrong | 00:01 |
| bonixavier | I do, but I like XFCE better. I want to understand how I can make it less resource intensive | 00:01 |
| charlie-tca | We are _NOT_ in a competition to be lighter than it is | 00:01 |
| charlie-tca | compare it to Lubuntu, and remove all the things Lubuntu doesn't have? | 00:01 |
| bonixavier | I disabled all the gnome services in start up, but I'd like to know how to disable services that start before X. how do I do that? | 00:01 |
| charlie-tca | Did you install Xubuntu from cd? | 00:01 |
| bonixavier | yes | 00:01 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu requires those services, normally | 00:02 |
| bonixavier | for example, I disabled gnome-keyring. will something break? | 00:03 |
| charlie-tca | yes, | 00:03 |
| charlie-tca | you will be asked for passwords more often when doing things | 00:03 |
| charlie-tca | gnome-keyring stores ssl and gpg passwords | 00:04 |
| bonixavier | I don't mind that. | 00:04 |
| bonixavier | I always set sudo timestamp to 0 | 00:04 |
| bonixavier | but, after disabling all those gnome services and restarting my X session, I only got something like 20Mb extra ram | 00:05 |
| charlie-tca | I don't think you will get Xubuntu as light as Lubuntu. | 00:06 |
| charlie-tca | But you can experiment with things like you are. | 00:06 |
| bonixavier | I installed Slackware before. I didn't like it so much because it's too complicated, but their XFCE only required 80Mb | 00:06 |
| bonixavier | I don't care about LXDE much | 00:06 |
| bonixavier | my primary pc is ubuntu. it has 2 gb ram | 00:06 |
| bonixavier | but I have an old pc that i wanted to relive | 00:06 |
| bonixavier | only 256mb ram | 00:06 |
| bonixavier | how can slackware require 120mb less than xubuntu? If they had apt-get, I'd stay there. How can I trim xubuntu? | 00:08 |
| bonixavier | gdm is something they don't have and I like gdm | 00:08 |
| bonixavier | what else? | 00:08 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know. I don't run slackware and have not bothered with a file by file comparison | 00:09 |
| bonixavier | I don't want to run it either | 00:09 |
| bonixavier | but I don't like LXDE | 00:10 |
| bonixavier | do you think Debian is lighter? | 00:10 |
| charlie-tca | I wouldn't know that either | 00:10 |
| bonixavier | ok. I understand that not many people still run such slow pcs nowadays. | 00:11 |
| bonixavier | so people don't design stuff for them | 00:11 |
| bonixavier | but would you know how one can disable cups, for example? I don't have a printer | 00:12 |
| bonixavier | nevermind. I'll install lubuntu. thanks for your help | 00:13 |

Is there such a package (or another solution) available for Xubuntu? | 05:50 |

| MorphixNW | I am trying to make a secure key that is required to logon/decrypt, I have found pamusb however, this seems no longer in existent, does anyone know of an alternative? | 09:06 |
| MorphixNW | scrap that I have found it on sourceforge, thank you anyway :) | 09:09 |
| MorphixNW | I am looking for an application that will allow me to turn CD Audio into MP3, is there such an app in the repos? | 10:30 |
| Sysi | several | 10:31 |
| Myrtti | plenty | 10:31 |
| Sysi | rip / just transform? | 10:31 |
| MorphixNW | thank you guys | 11:17 |
| MorphixNW | one more, is there a way that I can dump the results of "ls" to a txt file? | 11:18 |
| knome | MorphixNW, ls >file.txt | 11:19 |
| MorphixNW | Knome: your awesome ever always, that worked thank you | 11:19 |
| knome | yw | 11:19 |
| MorphixNW | knome: your up early or late? :P | 11:20 |
| knome | well it's 1pm, so pretty normal. but yes, i've woken up today, not stayed up all night | 11:21 |
| MorphixNW | 1pm? where are you? | 11:21 |
| knome | finland | 11:21 |
| MorphixNW | thought you was behind not infront :) | 11:21 |
| knome | utc+2 | 11:21 |
| MorphixNW | :) | 11:21 |
| Sysi | timezones ♥ | 11:21 |
| knome | TZ's are okay, but DST breaks my heart | 11:23 |
| MorphixNW | where does this command not work? scp media-centre@192.168.0.210:/nas2/movies 2/list.txt / | 11:24 |
| MorphixNW | where = why* | 11:24 |
| knome | you have three parameters, should have two | 11:25 |
| MorphixNW | really? | 11:25 |
| knome | well, cp $from $to ? | 11:25 |
| MorphixNW | i get "file not found" | 11:25 |
| knome | (s)cp | 11:25 |
| knome | 2/list.txt is not valid | 11:26 |
| knome | well, probably not | 11:26 |
| MorphixNW | how can I tell it there is a space in the filder? | 11:26 |
| Sysi | movies\ 2/list and propably not to root | 11:26 |
| knome | ^ | 11:26 |
| Sysi | knome: are we getting something fancy to natty? xfce 4.8 ♥ | 11:27 |
| Sysi | though i like bluebird very much | 11:27 |
| knome | ochosi is working on a less-blue variant of bluebird + some improvements to it | 11:28 |
| Sysi | new xfce has different options for panel background | 11:28 |
| knome | mm-hmm, so maybe fiddling with that as well then | 11:29 |
| Sysi | theme decides / solid color / image | 11:29 |
| knome | mmh | 11:29 |
| MorphixNW | can I connect to another ubuntu machines hard drive via my network and tranfers files easily? | 11:34 |
| Sysi | sshfs i maybe the handiest, if you have intranet | 11:35 |
| MorphixNW | can I not just mount the drive like I do with a network share on my windows 2k3 server? | 11:36 |
| Sysi | you need to have share to mount it | 11:37 |
| Sysi | havin ssh-server is easy and has many options | 11:38 |
| MorphixNW | hmmm, I cant seem to see how I share a folder, I tried right click but no sharing options that I can see | 11:38 |
| Sysi | sshfs works basically like regular mounting | 11:38 |
| MorphixNW | hmmm ok sounds like thats what I need then :) | 11:38 |
| Sysi | install openssh-server and sshfs to client | 11:38 |
| Linker | Hello guys. I am trying to install Xubuntu using alternative installer via flash drive to my netbook. I just stuck at the point of mounting the point - it just doesn't accept anything I am trying to feed it with | 11:40 |
| Linker | *of mounting the CD, of course | 11:40 |
| MorphixNW | sysi: ok all installed | 11:41 |
| Sysi | i think alternate disks aren't ment to be used from usb, therefure not sure if there's fix | 11:42 |
| Linker | Why it just doesn't accept /cdrom if I've mounted the flash drive there or /dev/sdb1 (my flash) ? | 11:43 |
| Linker | Shouldn't it? | 11:43 |
| MorphixNW | sysi: your a genius, that has worked flawlessly with some fiddling to find the correct command :) | 11:47 |
| MorphixNW | thank you | 11:47 |
| Sysi | (ever tried to use network share in win7? Nightmare) | 11:49 |
| MorphixNW | gladly I havent used 7 very much :P | 11:49 |
| Sysi | it' better than xp but still horrible | 11:51 |
| MorphixNW | I liked XP | 11:51 |
| MorphixNW | not as much as I like Ubuntu tho | 11:51 |
| MorphixNW | albeit a pain to get stuff working sometimes, it runs so much better and cheaper ;) | 11:51 |
| MorphixNW | but with that said, the basics are very simple and just work | 11:52 |
| MorphixNW | if I wasnt so much a fiddler and simply used the internet it would be extremely simple and easy | 11:52 |
| MorphixNW | is there a way that I can use a USB stick as a security token that is required at logon? (maybe incorrect terminology) | 12:40 |
| Linker | Having troubles with desktop xubuntu installation on netbook from flash drive. Bootable flash created under windows with usb-creator.exe found in the .iso image.

| BlackScorp | hi all | 13:29 |
| BlackScorp | is here someone who can help me with xubuntu? | 13:29 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp, i can try... | 13:29 |
| BlackScorp | i just installed it on my Virtual Box | 13:29 |
| BlackScorp | after installing some Guest Additions | 13:30 |
| BlackScorp | i was able to resize the screen | 13:30 |
| BlackScorp | then i saw some updates, i installed that updates and suddenly it dont work anymore | 13:30 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp, so you can't change the resolution? | 13:30 |
| BlackScorp | i can change resoloution | 13:30 |
| BlackScorp | but | 13:30 |
| BlackScorp | there is no one in the lsit with 1280x800 | 13:31 |
| BlackScorp | on Virtual Box i was able to press Host+L and ive got automatic resoulution | 13:31 |
| BlackScorp | now its fixed | 13:31 |
| BlackScorp | this update | 13:32 |
| BlackScorp | it was linux-headers | 13:32 |
| BlackScorp | i saw on wiki that i need to have linux-headers without version number and not generic on my virtual box | 13:33 |
| BlackScorp | i neeed to have linux-headers-virtual | 13:33 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp, i can't help much with virtual box, but as for resolution, try this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 13:33 |
| BlackScorp | yeah but i cannot setup the resolution 1280x800 i dont have the option for it | 13:34 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp, as I said, i don't know about virtual box - but normally, you can set resolution via console... you need to add a new mode... | 13:36 |
| BlackScorp | i just tryed | 13:36 |
| BlackScorp | xrandr: cannot find output "S-video" | 13:36 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp, is S-video correct? | 13:37 |
| GeoZoo | good luck with your virtual box ;-) | 13:37 |
| BlackScorp | :D | 13:37 |
| BlackScorp | i dont know | 13:37 |
| BlackScorp | iam new at linux | 13:37 |
| BlackScorp | on your link it says | 13:37 |
| BlackScorp | S-video | 13:37 |
| BlackScorp | ah lol | 13:37 |
| BlackScorp | next line, if mode not exists you need to create one | 13:38 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp, s-video is just an example... you need to find out, how your output is called... | 13:38 |
| BlackScorp | hm.. does xubuntu have a GUI for xorg config like on KDE? | 13:39 |
| BlackScorp | on kubuntu i mean | 13:39 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp, yes, it's called "Arandr" - but if your mode isn't there, this won't help | 13:39 |
| BlackScorp | the problem is, it was before | 13:39 |
| BlackScorp | before that last update i could change my resolution | 13:39 |
| BlackScorp | and after that update it didnt worked anymore | 13:40 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp, hang on, lieutenant is yelling... | 13:40 |
| nicofs | brb | 13:40 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp, ok. resolutions disappear... i haven't completely solved that mystery yet... but we can try to get yours back... | 13:42 |
| BlackScorp1 | omfg | 13:46 |
| BlackScorp1 | damn | 13:46 |
| BlackScorp1 | hm.. nico | 13:47 |
| BlackScorp1 | i try to explain | 13:47 |
| BlackScorp1 | first i downloaded xubuntu from the official site | 13:47 |
| BlackScorp1 | then i just installed it over the gui in virtual box | 13:48 |
| BlackScorp1 | i saw everythink worked fine | 13:48 |
| BlackScorp1 | after it i installed Guest Additions | 13:48 |
| BlackScorp1 | after restart i was able to change the window of virtual box and xubuntu | 13:49 |
| BlackScorp1 | just with drag and drop | 13:49 |
| BlackScorp1 | the resolution changed automaticly | 13:49 |
| BlackScorp1 | then i saw there are some updates whcih need to be installed | 13:49 |
| BlackScorp1 | i did it and now iam not able to change it anymore | 13:50 |
| Sysi | did you reboot after updates? | 13:50 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp1, 2 options: install again, don't update - or live without "drag and drop" and set some standard resolutions... | 13:50 |
| charlie-tca | um, reinstall guest additions? | 13:50 |
| nicofs | BlackScorp1, or listen to people more qualified than me^^ | 13:51 |
| BlackScorp1 | i found the problem | 13:51 |
| BlackScorp1 | i need to reinstall linux-headers-generic | 13:51 |
| BlackScorp1 | i will try this first:D | 13:52 |
| BlackScorp1 | and why there is a "1" after my nick | 13:52 |
| BlackScorp1 | wtf | 13:52 |

| charlie-tca | !locale | 18:39 |

| nicofs | hmm... was just an idea... it came to me that in situations like those with lapara just now it would be handy to just switch to spanish and give the spanish menu entries... | 18:42 |
| charlie-tca | Except all IRC support is english | 18:42 |
| charlie-tca | There is a spanish help channel, but if they ask here, we try to help them | 18:43 |
| nicofs | charlie-tca, i'm not asking you to do that.. but i think i'd enjoy having a spanish ubuntu... just to see how all the things are called in spanish... | 18:44 |
| charlie-tca | heh, Yeah, I can see where that would help sometimes | 18:44 |

| MorphixNW | guys, my system just updated, but now it wont boot up, it says its running in low graphics mode :( | 19:01 |
| charlie-tca | Did you install hardware drivers for video before? | 19:02 |
| MorphixNW | is there a way I can remove the update that busted it? | 19:02 |
| MorphixNW | nope, it did it all itself | 19:02 |
| charlie-tca | When my nvidia machine does that, I remove and reinstall video driver through System -> Hardware Drivers | 19:04 |
| MorphixNW | system does not contain "hardware drivers" on my system | 19:04 |
| charlie-tca | Additional drivers? | 19:04 |
| MorphixNW | yes | 19:05 |
| charlie-tca | same thing | 19:05 |
| MorphixNW | it states no drivers installed | 19:06 |
| MorphixNW | can I simply remove the update that broke it? | 19:08 |
| charlie-tca | If you know which packages it was, and what the last version was, you can force the downgrade of those packages | 19:09 |
| MorphixNW | hmmm not impressed, updates are meant to improve things, not bust up my working system | 19:10 |
| MorphixNW | I have a feeling that many more users will expereince this issue | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | I agree. Did you try restarting again? | 19:11 |
| MorphixNW | yes, I get the low graphic mode msg | 19:11 |
| MorphixNW | but none of the options seem to work | 19:12 |
| MorphixNW | how can I manually specify my settings? | 19:12 |
| charlie-tca | create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 19:12 |
| Sysi | what graphics card? | 19:13 |
| MorphixNW | I dont know | 19:13 |
| MorphixNW | its onboard | 19:13 |
| MorphixNW | VIA Chipset | 19:13 |
| MorphixNW | on a Mini-ATX | 19:14 |
| MorphixNW | Ok this thing just isnt working :( | 19:43 |
| MorphixNW | I have created /etc/X11/xorg.conf "filled with a space" to no avail | 19:44 |
| MorphixNW | does anyone know how to solve this issue? it would appear to be a bug in the update, but I just cant resolve it | 19:45 |
| MorphixNW | networking is also now not working :( | 19:46 |
| mark76 | Local networking? | 19:46 |
| MorphixNW | none of it | 19:46 |
| MorphixNW | I cant ping anything, "ifconfig" is only showing local loopback | 19:46 |
| mark76 | Is networking different to internetting? | 19:47 |
| MorphixNW | no | 19:47 |
| MorphixNW | someone jhad the issue in here earlier and they resolve it somhow | 19:47 |
| mark76 | Are you saying you have no connection to the internet or just to a particular site? | 19:47 |
| MorphixNW | no internet | 19:47 |
| mark76 | Hmm | 19:48 |
| mark76 | And yet... | 19:48 |
| mark76 | Different machine? | 19:48 |
| MorphixNW | dist-upgrade broke it all | 19:48 |
| MorphixNW | yes | 19:48 |
| mark76 | Aha :D | 19:48 |
| MorphixNW | ;) failsafe | 19:48 |
| mark76 | What were you upgrading to? | 19:49 |
| MorphixNW | I wasnt | 19:50 |
| MorphixNW | it was a major update | 19:50 |
| MorphixNW | linux-headers broke it I think | 19:50 |
| mark76 | Oh | 19:50 |
| MorphixNW | I dont know the version numbers | 19:51 |
| MorphixNW | plus I dont think I can do very much without the internet | 19:51 |
| wxysvnn | c'è qualche esperto online? | 19:52 |
| MorphixNW | I think I need to install linux-headers that match my kernel version | 19:55 |
| MorphixNW | this command would fix it if I had internet "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(name -r) | 19:56 |
| charlie-tca | MorphixNW: restart, and pick an earlier kernel from the grub menu | 20:00 |
| charlie-tca | If you don't get the menu, hold right-shift after the bios check to get it | 20:01 |
| MorphixNW | charlie-tca: that doesnt work :( | 20:27 |
| charlie-tca | No old kernels or right-shift? | 20:48 |
| MorphixNW | lots but they dont work either | 20:51 |
| Linker | Have anybody installing xubuntu to netbook here? | 21:22 |
| Linker | I am third time for today here and nobody have an idea what is my problem about. | 21:23 |
| charlie-tca | Hm, Maybe you could start by telling by what the problem is you are experiencing or asking a full question? | 21:25 |
| charlie-tca | If the question is whether or not anyone ever installed Xubuntu on a netbook, the answer is yes. | 21:25 |
| Linker | I am trying to install the system from flash drive. The drive was created using usb-creator.exe tool under Windows. When I'm booting from it using my laptop it says it can not find linux. Okay, I feed it with /casper/vmlinuz initrd=/casper/initrd.lz, then it loads. However at the end it says there's no init found, but I see with ls that it IS there | 21:27 |
| charlie-tca | That can be a difficult question for us. Many of us do not have hardware that boots from USB, and so have never tried to do that. | 21:28 |
| Linker | So everyone used cdrom for that? | 21:29 |
| charlie-tca | Perhaps you would find more help with that issue in #ubuntu | 21:29 |
| charlie-tca | Mostly, yes, we use cdrom | 21:29 |
| Linker | May I should try to install it through tftp? | 21:29 |
| Linker | *maybe | 21:29 |
| charlie-tca | The best information I have on installing from USB is http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/ubuntu-from-your-flash-drive-easier-than-ever-before/ | 21:31 |
| Linker | Thank you, Charlie. Will check out that information. | 21:32 |
