| xubuntu016 | alguien habla español? | 04:44 |
| meatmachine | Aloo guyz and girlz. Just enjoying a little chat while installing Xubuntu :) | 05:27 |
| Piggie | hi | 06:38 |
| Piggie | where can I get a minimal version of Xubuntu? | 06:38 |
| Sysi | what do you mean? | 06:39 |
| Piggie | without all the stuff pre-installed | 06:39 |
| Piggie | just Xorg, xubuntu, the ubuntu base, etc | 06:39 |
| Sysi | same as ubuntu minimal | 06:40 |
| Unit193 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD <--- might this be it? | 06:40 |
| Piggie | yes that | 06:40 |
| Piggie | but with Xfce preconfigured and setup | 06:40 |
| Sysi | there are no other disks with xfce than xubuntu | 06:40 |
| Piggie | damn | 06:40 |
| Sysi | you can install from minimal-cd and select xfce-desktop | 06:41 |
| Sysi | or do minimal install and later install xfce4 and xfce4-goodies | 06:41 |
| Piggie | will simply selecting all the same components on the minimal CD cause me to have the same exact thing as Xubuntu? | 06:41 |
| Piggie | or does Xubuntu have any further tweaks.. | 06:41 |
| Piggie | What I mean is.. | 06:42 |
| Sysi | there are packages for xubuntu-artwork and xubuntu-default settings | 06:42 |
| Piggie | is Xubuntu different in any way, or is it really just a selection of some packages | 06:42 |
| Sysi | everything in xubuntu is in the repositories | 06:42 |
| Piggie | ok | 06:42 |
| Sysi | i just installed from xubuntu cd and removed programs i don't need | 06:43 |
| Piggie | don’t you find the system to be a bit non-perfect after removal of many packages? | 06:44 |
| Sysi | if you don't have netbook with 4GB HDD it isn't really problem | 06:44 |
| Sysi | why would i? | 06:44 |
| Piggie | they can leave some remnants, modify some stuff | 06:44 |
| Sysi | they shouldn't | 06:44 |
| Sysi | that's why we have package manager | 06:44 |
| Piggie | I’ve tested in the past on Ubuntu | 06:45 |
| Sysi | i think it's easier than gathering all the little programs you happen to need | 06:45 |
| Piggie | remove all the packages so its the same as minimal | 06:45 |
| Piggie | then compare the filesystem to minimal | 06:45 |
| Piggie | theres a lot of “stuff” | 06:45 |
| Piggie | just little bits of things. | 06:45 |
| Sysi | if you had something other than basic ubuntu there has been left dependencies behind | 06:46 |
| Sysi | or if you didn't really remove all | 06:46 |
| Sysi | use aptitude, it removes everything | 06:46 |
| Sysi | and/or do apt-get autoremove and apt-get clean | 06:47 |
| Piggie | autoremove removes stuff that nothing depends on? | 06:47 |
| Sysi | and the "goop" is needed for something | 06:47 |
| Sysi | yup | 06:47 |
| Piggie | goop? | 06:48 |
| Sysi | anyway, i'm a bit of perfectionist and i can live with 5GB used root partition | 06:48 |
| Sysi | the "overall stuff" | 06:48 |
| Piggie | 5GB seems kinda big | 06:49 |
| Sysi | it's nothing | 06:49 |
| Piggie | well, thats 5x larger than my XP box’s install | 06:49 |
| Sysi | win7 takes about 10GB bu just windows | 06:50 |
| Sysi | add programs to that | 06:50 |
| Sysi | compare to modern OS, not over ten years old | 06:51 |
| Piggie | my Win7 is 2GB | 06:51 |
| Sysi | i have 32G ssd and i still don't worry a bit | 06:51 |
| Piggie | I use rt7lite | 06:51 |
| Piggie | I was assuming Xubuntu would be a “lite” version | 06:51 |
| Piggie | so if its a few times larger than my Windows 7 box which has a ton of stuff on it... | 06:52 |
| Piggie | thats bad | 06:52 |
| Sysi | bigger than your kinsa highly customized win7 | 06:52 |
| Sysi | *kinda | 06:52 |
| Piggie | You customized it to remove stuff on your copy though, right? | 06:52 |
| Sysi | why would i | 06:53 |
| Piggie | <Sysi> i just installed from xubuntu cd and removed programs i don't need | 06:53 |
| Sysi | that isn't same as customizing os itself | 06:53 |
| Sysi | if you really want minimal, do the minimal installation then | 06:54 |
| Sysi | i removed software i don't use, i don't want them in my menus | 06:54 |
| Piggie | Xubuntu 10.10 seems pretty buggy | 08:49 |
| Piggie | I just installed it. I run -- Applications -> Games -> Quadrapassel | 08:49 |
| Piggie | Nothing happens. | 08:49 |
| Piggie | program does not start. | 08:49 |
| Sysi | have you installed updates | 08:50 |
| Unit193 | Quadrapassel doesn't normally seem to work (for me) | 08:50 |
| Piggie | installing updates now... will report after | 08:52 |
| Unit193 | Piggie: run quadrapassel via terminal, see what the error is | 08:52 |
| Piggie | brook@ubuntu:~$ quadrapassel | 09:09 |
| Piggie | failed to create drawable | 09:09 |
| Piggie | Failed to initialise clutter: Unable to select the newly created GLX context | 09:09 |
| Piggie | yeah.. it’s running in VMWare | 09:09 |
| Piggie | with VMWare tools installed | 09:09 |
| Piggie | in windows 7 at least, with vmware, gl/d3d, aero, etc all work accelerated | 09:09 |
| Piggie | I was assuming that acceleration would work in vmware. | 09:13 |
| Piggie | lol... | 09:13 |
| Piggie | after the updates finished installing, there’s a “restart” button | 09:14 |
| Piggie | I press it. Nothing happens | 09:14 |
| elHannos | Hi. I deleted gnome from my ubuntu and tried out xfce4.8. I'm experiencing a few issues: In the setting dialog for the autostart jobs, the buttons for "Edit" and "Delete" are greyed out - only one job (made by me) can be modified. Is this normal? | 12:08 |

| kukas | hello. what could be the best way of sharing a folder on my network. i'm using 10.10. thank you | 18:02 |
| kukas | ? | 18:02 |
| kukas | through gigolo? | 18:03 |
| kukas | i'm kinda new in xubuntu... | 18:03 |
| kukas | hello. what could be the best way of sharing a folder on my network?? | 18:10 |
| drc | what sort of network? | 18:10 |
| kukas | i don't have the "sharing options" item on the right-click menu | 18:10 |
| kukas | neither "shared folders" under "System" | 18:11 |
| kukas | home network, drc | 18:11 |
| Sysi | share to windows machines or linux? | 18:12 |
| kukas | a mac, actually | 18:12 |
| kukas | should i install this "Samba" app? | 18:14 |
| Sysi | i don't know what kind of share it supports but sshfs should be available | 18:14 |
| kukas | well,i can reach windows folders, on my mac | 18:15 |
| Sysi | install openssh-server to xubuntu and http://superjared.com/entry/mount-ssh-connection-os-x/ | 18:15 |
| kukas | there's this windows pc, on this network | 18:15 |
| Sysi | then samba should wor too | 18:15 |
| Sysi | !smb | 18:15 |
| 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. | 18:15 |
| kukas | okay | 18:16 |
| kukas | thank you guys! | 18:17 |
