| ubottu | laire_: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 00:34 |
| laire_ | I have the problem that my display ist too small for some windows, @ gnome it was possible to move them with alt+left mouse over the top from the display but with xubuntu it dont work | 00:35 |
| charlie-tca | I can move mine with Alt+left mouse | 00:36 |
| _Techie_ | man its good to be back | 00:37 |
| charlie-tca | You might have something set in Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manger -> Window manager tweaks that is stopping it? | 00:37 |
| charlie-tca | Check the Accessibility tab to make sure it Alt is the right key, too | 00:38 |

| laire_ | charlie: i have installed the german version i dont find what you mean | 00:42 |
| laire_ | ok i have it, thx | 00:44 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 00:47 |
| charlie-tca | it is much harder when you have to try and translate the menus, isn't it? | 00:47 |
| dwarf2000 | Suggestion: make the menu editable. | 00:52 |
| charlie-tca | already done. Xfce 4.8 has editable menus using alacarte or any other menu editor | 00:58 |
| charlie-tca | They will be available in natty | 00:59 |
| dwarf2000 | Sweet | 01:20 |
| dwarf2000 | Can't wait for the new version :) | 01:21 |
| dwarf2000 | When will it be released? | 01:21 |

| xGrind | xubun; hello | 04:21 |
| matty75 | well... i have nvidia drivers, broadcom and a correct screen resolution! it's been a successful day | 05:23 |
| matty75 | but... no sound | 05:23 |
| matty75 | and... my desktop icons are gone... | 05:23 |
| kofte | hi | 05:23 |
| matty75 | hi kofte | 05:23 |
| kofte | hi matty75 | 05:24 |
| kofte | Question: I saw on the Ubuntu forum that "since Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), Skype is part of the Canonical partner repository". I just installed Xubuntu 10.04. Would that repository work, or is it only for standard Ubuntu? | 05:25 |
| matty75 | i don't have an answer for you on that one... i usually go to skype.com and dl it... the package should be a .deb which should work in xubuntu | 05:28 |
| kofte | I prefer using a repository for updates | 05:29 |
| matty75 | the ubuntu reps should work... but i'm not 100% | 05:31 |
| matty75 | sure | 05:31 |
| kofte | actually, there's a Skype repository that is already working, but it's unsigned. If possible, I'd use the Canonical repositories, but it's not a big deal at the moment. To some extent, it's an academic question: whether repositories work across different Ubuntu distributions | 05:32 |
| kofte | later | 05:50 |

| xubuntu178 | im thinking about dl xubuntu...any good | 09:08 |
| xubuntu178 | i have ubuntu but drain my laptop battery pretty quick, so debating b/t xubuntu or lubuntu | 09:10 |
| Sysi | take off desktop effects | 09:10 |
| xubuntu178 | i did | 09:11 |
| Sysi | you can easily try different desktops without reinstall you know | 09:11 |
| Sysi | !xubuntu | 09:11 |
| 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 | 09:11 |
| xubuntu178 | tosh sat 17.3" is a resource hog...lol | 09:12 |
| Sysi | you propably can't get very long battery life | 09:12 |
| Sysi | keep screen dim | 09:12 |
| xubuntu178 | ino...got it as a repalcement desktop, but i need for a trip next week & win 7 is a real drain | 09:13 |
| xubuntu178 | so im tryin every distro, prefer deb apt get over rpm | 09:14 |
| Sysi | lubuntu may feel limited expecially if you're used to gnome, but as well it can have everything you need | 09:14 |
| Sysi | surprisingly xfce is my favourite, although i'm currently on kde netbook-plasma | 09:15 |
| Sysi | uses significantly more battery than xfce | 09:15 |
| xubuntu178 | ino i had kubuntu on drained batt in less than 2 hrs | 09:16 |
| xubuntu178 | pclinuxos is the worse | 09:16 |
| xubuntu178 | maybe ill try ubuntu netbook | 09:17 |
| Sysi | i think beetween xubuntu and lubuntu it's more about what programs you're using | 09:18 |
| xubuntu178 | anyways thnx Sysi | 09:18 |
| xubuntu178 | i've used mint xfce, lxde, cb open box & antiX in the past | 09:20 |
| Sysi | archlinux for really minimal | 09:21 |
| xubuntu178 | thats when i had a old dell dimension 2400 | 09:22 |
| Sysi | i've tried fedora, arch, suse, debian and ubuntu, with kde, gnome, xfce, and lxde and seems i always go back to xubuntu | 09:22 |
| ysis | Hi, I'm on Xubuntu 10.10 and have a floppy related issue: I have a line "/dev/fd0 /media/floppy vfat utf8,nosuid,user,noauto 0 0" in my /etc/fstab and the floppy is nicely mounted when I click on the desktop icon and the permissions of /media/floppy change to that of the mounting user. Now I also have a floppy disk entry in Thunar's sidebar and the Places menu in the panel. But the desktop icon and the other two options seems to be unrelated | 10:11 |
| Sysi | cutted after 'unrelated' | 10:14 |
| ysis | Sysi: I got help in #xfce. Thanks nevertheless. | 10:29 |
| Sysi | i'm there too | 10:30 |
| ysis | Roger. :o) | 10:31 |

| knome | inserting dvd won't do anything after changed the "autoplay dvd" command to vlc | 13:17 |
| knome | ideas? | 13:17 |
| Lord_Rahl | I install xubuntu 10.04 i was surprised how gnome stiff it install metacity, nautilus, and few other things. | 14:16 |
| Lord_Rahl | I ripe them out and found on problem. just can of found it weird.. | 14:17 |
| Lord_Rahl | guess everyone is sleeping :) | 14:18 |
| TheSheep | it doesn't install nautilus... | 14:38 |
| Lord_Rahl | TheSheep, It did for for me. I install just the server then I install xubuntu-desktop. Trick from Fab (Linux outlaws) | 15:02 |
| Lord_Rahl | that way you do not wast more time down loading updates | 15:03 |
| Lord_Rahl | I think it may pull it down for the menu editor shared lib anyway I ripe it out | 15:04 |
| charlie-tca | If you install any other version first, that will install things that Xubuntu will not install. Xubuntu did not install Nautilus, Ubuntu did when you installed it. | 15:06 |
| Lord_Rahl | nope just install the server and then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 15:08 |
| charlie-tca | and server is Ubuntu, not Xubuntu | 15:08 |
| Lord_Rahl | no big deal. I that it was odd maybe it some package I install or some thing. i dont know | 15:09 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu does not install nautilus. If you follow an installation that is not recommended to install it, you expect strange things to happen | 15:10 |
| Lord_Rahl | no big deal It all straighten out. | 15:11 |
| Lord_Rahl | Have you trade the alpha yet? What you think | 15:11 |
| Lord_Rahl | tried* | 15:12 |
| charlie-tca | yes, I have. I think it will be a good release in April | 15:12 |
| Lord_Rahl | if it anything like the 4.6 ppa It will good | 15:14 |
| Lord_Rahl | I think XFCE will gain a few user because of Unity | 15:14 |
| charlie-tca | time will tell. Unity is a very nice desktop environment | 15:18 |
| craigbass1976 | I've got a neighbor on a pretty slow connection. The openjdk update is stalling and dying. Can I jsut grab a package off of my already updated computer and run over with a thumb drive to do the update that way? | 18:30 |
| craigbass1976 | My next question is... Is this package screwy anyway? As I was typing my last question, I got my own error that I "Failed to Open Package Files" and I'm trying to install that same package on this fresh xubuntu install | 18:32 |
| craigbass1976 | Lord_Rahl, Is that a Terry Goodkind nick you have? | 18:32 |
| Lord_Rahl | Thanks love the books | 18:40 |
| Lord_Rahl | that and I could not think of anything lol | 18:40 |
| craigbass1976 | I haven't read anything for a while, maybe the pillars one. Didn't he come out with something very "un" fantasy? | 18:42 |
| Lord_Rahl | hes last book the laws of nine - that was still base on the same universe - | 18:44 |
| Lord_Rahl | wikipedia said he coming out a new book soon | 18:47 |
| craigbass1976 | He was getting a bit political; the one where he's a slave and carves a statue. | 18:48 |
| Lord_Rahl | true.. good story if you disregard all that. | 18:49 |
| Lord_Rahl | I dont like the tv series at all it all messed up | 18:50 |
| morrowind | Hi, I'm trying to install xubuntu 10.04 on an old 1.4GHz, 256MBs RAM laptop and it isn't working | 19:19 |
| morrowind | I select to run Live CD and it shows the Xubuntu logo and then the screen goes blank and nothing happens | 19:20 |
| morrowind | is there anything else I can try? I really don't wanna have to go back to XP on it | 19:21 |
| charlie-tca | It will take it a while to run, with the limited ram. You can also try the alternate image | 19:21 |
| morrowind | what's the alternate image? | 19:21 |
| charlie-tca | I wait as much as 5 minutes to get screens on my old pc | 19:21 |
| charlie-tca | which versionof Xubuntu? | 19:21 |
| morrowind | I was trying to run 10.04LTS | 19:21 |
| charlie-tca | alternate image is available here - http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/10.04/release/ | 19:22 |
| morrowind | and it's been like 10 minutes and the screen is still blank | 19:22 |
| charlie-tca | It installs without using the gui installer, which can be faster | 19:22 |
| morrowind | I see | 19:23 |
| morrowind | so the install is text based? | 19:23 |
| charlie-tca | does the live desktop come up on the pc? | 19:23 |
| charlie-tca | yes, the alternate cd uses a text-based installer | 19:23 |
| morrowind | like I said, it's been 10 minutes and the screen is still blank. So how do I know that it will run once I get it installed? | 19:23 |
| morrowind | could it be a video driver problem | 19:24 |
| morrowind | I've gotten 9.04 to boot to desktop no problems | 19:24 |
| morrowind | but there isn't any support for 9.04 anymore | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | Have you been able to get the 10.04 to boot to the desktop ? | 19:24 |
| morrowind | no, it's still on a blank screen | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | I would nót install it then | 19:25 |
| charlie-tca | try 10.10 instead | 19:25 |
| morrowind | does 10.10 have better driver support? | 19:25 |
| charlie-tca | If you can not get a desktop with the cd, you probably won't get one after installing | 19:25 |
| Sysi | what graphics card, old intel? | 19:27 |
| morrowind | yea | 19:28 |
| morrowind | yea definitely intel | 19:29 |
| morrowind | it's an old celeron m processor | 19:29 |
| morrowind | not sure if that makes much of a difference | 19:29 |
| Sysi | try nomodeset as boot option | 19:29 |
| Sysi | or acpi=off | 19:29 |
| Sysi | 10.10 might work better, newer drivers | 19:30 |
| Sysi | i've also heard it's better on low-memory system | 19:30 |
| morrowind | no acpi disables power modes, what does "nomodeset" do? | 19:30 |
| Sysi | acpi handles more than that afaik, nomodeset is one ption for graphics driver | 19:31 |
| Sysi | you can google for KMS | 19:32 |
| morrowind | okay I'll try those boot options and if that doesn't work then I will try 10.10. Thank you | 19:32 |
