brothersomeHow does Xubuntu perform on a PanelPC with 4 GB, any experience here11:12
ikoniabergasche: same as any PC with a similar spec11:27
ikoniashould be very reasonable as 4GB is massiver over kill for such a light window manager11:28
brothersomeDoes the evtouch driver works good in xubuntu?11:28
brothersomeI have a panel PC with 1 GB RAM and 4 GB flash11:28
brothersomeRam should be enough for Ubuntu --- Expecting below 300 MB11:29

chudy_michefhi. xubuntu gui stopped responding to mouse clicks while I was using the shell. i tried exiting the shell, now not even the 'off' switch works. i would turn it off at the wall, but it's running on battery power. any suggestions?21:25
Sysiby shell you mean ctrl alt F1-6 terminals?21:26
chudy_michefI mean a terminal window - I opened it by right-clicking in a folder.21:27
Sysialtgr printscreen K will force logout21:28
charlie-tcahold the power button down for at least 10 seconds usually works too21:28
Sysikilling xorg is nicer than killing entire system21:29
charlie-tcatrue21:29
chudy_michefI just tried the first option. SOMETHING's happening (in that the mouse pointer has stopped moving, and I can hear the hard drive working).21:29
chudy_michefAha! It logged out.21:30
chudy_michefI wonder why that happened in the first place. I was just using LaTeX from the terminal when I noticed I couldn't click on anything outside the terminal window.21:31
chudy_michefThanks.21:34
