| AbhiJit | hi | 16:07 |
| AbhiJit | what advntge i loose if i go for xubuntu over ubuntu i.e gnome? | 16:07 |
| BigGreenCanoe | you loose gnome, although xfce will use and run gnome apps | 16:12 |
| AbhiJit | ok | 16:12 |
| BigGreenCanoe | personally, i prefer xfce over gnome. | 16:12 |
| BigGreenCanoe | the underlying system is the same, just setup for xfce as the window manager | 16:13 |
| charlie-tca | You don't loose any advantages, you gain if you are not using new hardware | 16:14 |
| AbhiJit | actually now i want my pc as fast as possble for offce wrk song and music. sometimes vedio editing | 16:14 |
| charlie-tca | -Have you looked at Ubuntustudio? | 16:14 |
| AbhiJit | charlie-tca, its 1 and half yr old laptop | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | It is designed for that | 16:15 |
| AbhiJit | ok | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | If you need openoffice, Ubuntu has it by default. If you don't need it, Xubuntu does not install it | 16:15 |
| AbhiJit | i need it | 16:16 |
| AbhiJit | heyy but Ubuntustudio is more artist than office work? | 16:16 |
| charlie-tca | yes, ubuntustudio is designed for music and song work | 16:17 |
| AbhiJit | yeah | 16:17 |
| AbhiJit | my main concern is fast officework | 16:17 |
| charlie-tca | Then they are about the same with openoffice | 16:18 |
| AbhiJit | ok | 16:18 |
| AbhiJit | thank you | 16:21 |

| tonycrete1991f | hello, can I turn ubuntu in xubuntu? | 18:07 |
| BigGreenCanoe | tonycreate1991: There is a page on the xubuntu website that tells you houw. Wait one and I'll get it fir yo | 18:08 |
| Sysi | !xubuntu | 18:08 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 18:08 |
| charlie-tca | !purexfce | 18:08 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 18:08 |
| BigGreenCanoe | charlie-tca: is there an xfce replacement for the gnome key-ring ? | 18:10 |
| charlie-tca | no, Xubuntu uses gnome-keyring | 18:10 |
| BigGreenCanoe | okay, that's what I thought. Thanks | 18:10 |
| charlie-tca | however, gnome-keyring does not mean it is gnome | 18:11 |
| BigGreenCanoe | true, but when I went to remove gnome, it was flagged as well | 18:12 |
| charlie-tca | just means the Xubuntu developers don't have to maintain a separate keyring | 18:12 |
| BigGreenCanoe | as was gnucash | 18:12 |
| BigGreenCanoe | i agree with that. no reason to duplicate apps. | 18:13 |
| charlie-tca | Then you should follow the link above to purexfce, and add back the apps you need. | 18:13 |
| BigGreenCanoe | i did. it just took me by surprise when it happened. | 18:14 |

| charlie-tca | Yes, it will work well with Xubuntu. | 18:55 |
| charlie-tca | Can we use English here, please. | 18:55 |
| charlie-tca | Try the desktop cd as a live environment to see if the wifi card works. | 18:56 |

| knome | charlie-tca, what's the main server repository address? | 23:11 |
| knome | charlie-tca, is it us.archive.ubuntu.com? | 23:12 |
| knome | charlie-tca, the finnish mirror lacks 3 packages from the default xubuntu-desktop installation | 23:12 |
| charlie-tca | No, it's the server in UK. Let me look it up | 23:13 |
| knome | found it | 23:14 |
| knome | it's just archive.ubuntu.com | 23:14 |
| charlie-tca | knome: I believe it is archive.ubuntu.com, isn't it? | 23:14 |
| * charlie-tca hangs head again... too slow | 23:14 | |
| knome | ;) | 23:14 |
| knome | libwv, libots, tango-icon-theme-common | 23:15 |
| knome | those were missing | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | weird | 23:15 |
| knome | that was actually keeping me from installing xubuntu from the desktop cd as i selected the finnish server... | 23:15 |
| knome | and the minimal cd as well | 23:15 |
| knome | then i just installed the core | 23:15 |
| knome | and logged into shell | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | Sounds like the vinnl way ;-) | 23:17 |
| Sysi | knome: maverick? | 23:17 |
| knome | Sysi, yeah. | 23:17 |
| The_Maverick | i was wondering if there was any way to enable placing a picture from the web to my desktop via dragging. | 23:21 |
| knome | actually, this laptop i'm installing xubuntu to, said it reached critical temperature (95C) and shut down. guess what was wrong? i tried to boot from usb, so the pc decided not to work... | 23:21 |
| charlie-tca | forgot the sensors package? | 23:22 |
| knome | no, i was trying to run the installator from usb... | 23:22 |
| knome | and the pc definitely was not running @95C | 23:22 |
| knome | so then i went to burn the desktop cd, which failed (due to the packages missing) and then the minimal cd, which also failed at first | 23:23 |
| The_Maverick | lol can anyone help with the dragging items from the internet to desktop issue? | 23:27 |
| charlie-tca | The_Maverick: I don't think you can set the background image using drag and drop | 23:27 |
| dr4c4n | charlie-tca: i think he means just saving it to the desktop | 23:28 |
| charlie-tca | Can you tell him how, dr4c4n | 23:28 |
| The_Maverick | lol i just want to take a picture and put it on my desktop. | 23:28 |
| The_Maverick | from the internet to the desktop by dragging it. i do this pretty often. | 23:29 |
| dr4c4n | charlie-tca: I thought dragging would work, I think you can drag to the desktop folder using the file manager (thunar / nautilus) | 23:29 |
| dr4c4n | The_Maverick: try that, try dragging to one of the file managers | 23:29 |
| knome | charlie-tca, btw, is there a way to automate all the updates without any prompt from user? | 23:30 |
| dr4c4n | if that doesn't work.. one moment, I'm not sure if you're capable of doing that.. there's always right click / save image as | 23:30 |
| freeraider | how do i cahnge resolution ? | 23:30 |
| Sysi | knome: isn't there setting in update manager? at least you can use crontab | 23:30 |
| The_Maverick | lol thats a lot of time spent saving image. | 23:30 |
| freeraider | just installed xubuntu | 23:31 |
| knome | Sysi, maybe, i've just never done that so i really don't know... | 23:31 |
| freeraider | and it's just a small resolution | 23:31 |
| Sysi | crontab isn't very hard | 23:31 |
| charlie-tca | knome: using software sources, you can install all security updates automatically, and download all others automatically, but I don't think it will install them automatically | 23:31 |
| knome | just a moment ago i got a soft lockup from kernel when the installation of packages was about to go towards configuring | 23:32 |
| knome | Sysi, no i mean, i know cron :P | 23:32 |
| knome | Sysi, but not the automated updates... | 23:32 |
| dr4c4n | The_Maverick: Problem solved? | 23:32 |
| charlie-tca | the reason being sometimes the user has to tell hit okay to continue | 23:32 |
| xubuntu407 | 23:32 | |
| dr4c4n | xubuntu407: you have much to say | 23:32 |
| charlie-tca | You can't have auto updates, if the user is not there to hit enter on the ones that require user intervention to continue | 23:32 |
| knome | charlie-tca, except if you run some apt-command from commandline with the option -y (or sth, which just answers yes to anything...) | 23:33 |
| The_Maverick | dr4c4n no. no one mentioned if there was a way | 23:33 |
| knome | charlie-tca, -y Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt | 23:33 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, but I would not ever want to just assume yes | 23:33 |
| charlie-tca | I tend to modify some of those files, myself | 23:33 |
| freeraider | how can i change resolution ? | 23:33 |
| knome | i would, if this is a pc for my friends' parents :P | 23:33 |
| dr4c4n | The_Maverick: you can suggest that to the XFCE dev team to accept files like that either that or from firefox, which I think has it built in, just not working for xfce, for now, just right click the image and save as, so u do 2 clicks, but less moving of the mouse | 23:34 |
| Sysi | freeraider: we need more information, at least your gpu model | 23:34 |
| charlie-tca | dr4c4n and The_Maverick : you won't get automatic downloads because of security concerns. We want the user to okay the download file. | 23:35 |
| freeraider | . /etc/X11/xorg.conf isn't even there | 23:35 |
| The_Maverick | dr4c4n a bit unfortunate. guess that will suffice... | 23:35 |
| charlie-tca | there is an option in firefox to auto download some file types, you can enable, thought. | 23:35 |
| Sysi | freeraider: not by default anymore | 23:35 |
| The_Maverick | gnome does it | 23:35 |
| charlie-tca | freeraider: if the resolution is not in Display settings, you can add an /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it will get used | 23:36 |
| charlie-tca | The_Maverick: This is not gnome | 23:36 |
| dr4c4n | charlie-tca: i like having that extra okay click too :) thanks for the info | 23:36 |
| The_Maverick | charlie-tca yeah. this is a bit lacking in functionality. i appreciate the help though | 23:36 |
| dr4c4n | The_Maverick: I find it faster than having to situate windows / move the mouse too much | 23:36 |
| dr4c4n | it's all a matter of preference | 23:37 |
| Sysi | if you like gnome more, use it | 23:37 |
| charlie-tca | The_Maverick: actually, this is more configurable, but the user is expected to set the configuration options themselves. | 23:37 |
| The_Maverick | so... there IS a way to do that? | 23:37 |
| charlie-tca | Functionality is there, you just have to work to get to it | 23:37 |
| The_Maverick | if there isnt... then that would mean that there isnt the functionality. | 23:38 |
| charlie-tca | Go into firefox preferences and set it to autodownload that file type | 23:38 |
| dr4c4n | it's super secret | 23:38 |
| dr4c4n | (just kidding) | 23:38 |
| ShootEmUp | Hello Everyone! | 23:38 |
| charlie-tca | You won't even have to touch the file... | 23:38 |
| dr4c4n | charlie-tca: that's where I looked first, couldn't see that | 23:38 |
| dr4c4n | hi ShootEmUp | 23:39 |
| ShootEmUp | whats up? | 23:39 |
| Sysi | clean desktop ♥ | 23:39 |
| charlie-tca | I run natty, with firefox 4.0b8, which is quite a change | 23:39 |
| ShootEmUp | :( | 23:39 |
| dr4c4n | Sysi: congrats | 23:39 |
| ShootEmUp | my bad :) | 23:39 |
| knome | Sysi, so, you are suggesting to turn on the automatic security updates and then something like 'apt-get upgrade -y' in cron? | 23:39 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: I keep thinking, someday... :-) | 23:40 |
| Sysi | dr4c4n: not really, i'm just neurotic | 23:40 |
| Sysi | knome: not both propably | 23:40 |
| knome | Sysi, right | 23:40 |
| dr4c4n | sysi: my clean desktop occurs on new install after I've installed and tried so many things get broken lol and stuff's all over the place. it takes me a day to backup, sort, reload and find everything | 23:41 |
| knome | i don't see how they'd mess up each other though | 23:41 |
| charlie-tca | ShootEmUp: help with the dragging items from the internet to desktop issue? | 23:41 |
| ShootEmUp | okay, like pics? | 23:42 |
| charlie-tca | The_Maverick: ^ ^ | 23:42 |
| ShootEmUp | what do you meen by that? | 23:42 |
| charlie-tca | The_Maverick wants to know the answer | 23:43 |
| charlie-tca | and ShootEmUp is good with answers | 23:43 |
| ShootEmUp | ahh ok | 23:43 |
| ShootEmUp | If its a picture, try right clicking and press "save as.." | 23:44 |
| dr4c4n | charlie-tca: is there an ubottu available for download to see all available commands for it.. just curious | 23:44 |
| dr4c4n | charlie-tca: prerequisite game to be played by new users, might be fun! | 23:44 |
| dr4c4n | or an irc channel just devoted to a bot like that | 23:44 |
| charlie-tca | dr4c4n: here they are... http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | 23:45 |
| charlie-tca | the channel is #ubottu | 23:45 |
| The_Maverick | lol thats the thing. i dont want to have to go through a page clicking save as on each picture. i could drag (throw) 5 pictures in the time it takes to do that. is there really no way? | 23:45 |
| ShootEmUp | I just want to see if the web browser can save the pics to your computer | 23:45 |
| dr4c4n | The_Maverick: autodownload as charlie-tca mentioned?? it's in firefox prefs? | 23:46 |
| dr4c4n | I'll see if I can find it with u | 23:46 |
| The_Maverick | yes it can | 23:46 |
| ShootEmUp | sorry FF is not my area, I use crome | 23:46 |
| The_Maverick | dr4c4n autodownload is not the same thing as dragging a pic to the desktop. | 23:47 |
| dr4c4n | ShootEmUp chrome preferences probably has something similar | 23:47 |
| ShootEmUp | I can just drag and drop | 23:48 |
| dr4c4n | The_Maverick: write a script using wget to grab all the .ext tension of ur choice | 23:48 |
| dr4c4n | The_Maverick: try chrome? | 23:48 |
| freeraider | . /etc/X11/xorg.conf so wherre is this file now on default ? | 23:49 |
| The_Maverick | dr4c4n it is in NO way the browser. i think it is just xfce. maybe i should just suggest implementing it. | 23:49 |
| freeraider | or should i just create one and put it there ? | 23:50 |
| charlie-tca | freeraider: it is not anywhere by default. You can create it | 23:50 |
| ShootEmUp | freeraider, nowhere. just make a blank | 23:50 |
| freeraider | then reboot ? | 23:52 |
| ShootEmUp | freeraider, yes | 23:52 |
| freeraider | ty | 23:52 |
| ShootEmUp | The_Maverick. seems like FF will not drag and drop for me | 23:53 |
| The_Maverick | shootemup but chrome will? | 23:53 |
| ShootEmUp | The_Maverick, yes | 23:53 |
| The_Maverick | shootemup im using chromium, ff and ff4beta and none of them do. | 23:54 |
| * charlie-tca knew ShootEmUp and The_Maverick needed to get together on that one... | 23:54 | |
| ShootEmUp | ?.... seems to be a bug with xfce me thinks | 23:54 |
| ShootEmUp | GOOGLE TIME! | 23:54 |
| charlie-tca | what download manager is Ubuntu using to make that work? | 23:55 |
| The_Maverick | shootemup i have installed xubuntu three times prior and it never lets me do this. | 23:57 |
| ShootEmUp | The_Maverick, looks like it is disabled in ubuntu... not sure why | 23:58 |
| ShootEmUp | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=663230#p663230 | 23:59 |
| ShootEmUp | something that might help | 23:59 |
| The_Maverick | shootemup i can do it in gnome, i could do it when i had xubuntu installed next to gnome, but when i get rid of i think the whole gnome essentials. "it cease to be" | 23:59 |
