I'm reinstalling it right now hoping it might do something [00:08] anyone here? [01:05] does git come pre-installed? [01:14] no [01:15] ok [01:15] thanks [01:15] no problem [01:21] xubuntu is nice [01:22] but it runs a little slow [01:25] maybe its yer computer specs that are a little above the minimum requirements [01:27] i have 4gb available ram [01:27] but i am allowing 1gb i believe [01:28] im using it in a vbox === surreal7z_ is now known as surreal7z [01:56] 1GB should be plenty in theory. Other possible reasons may include video driver under vbox [02:52] can someone help me? im a new xubuntu user [02:52] its my first linux try [02:53] many things dont work on my alienware m11x... like the touchpad is crazy, the video card is not work, the wireless do not work [02:54] is xubuntu the good choice or should i use a different os for compatibleness? === thermi is now known as Thermi [11:12] How does Xubuntu perform on a PanelPC with 4 GB, any experience here [11:27] bergasche: same as any PC with a similar spec [11:28] should be very reasonable as 4GB is massiver over kill for such a light window manager [11:28] Does the evtouch driver works good in xubuntu? [11:28] I have a panel PC with 1 GB RAM and 4 GB flash [11:29] Ram should be enough for Ubuntu --- Expecting below 300 MB [11:52] hey guys anybody know a channel for tech help (physical repair)? [12:01] is it possible to charge a laptop from another laptop via usb? [12:13] i think laptops can't intake power from usb [12:14] hey sysi, do you know of a tech help channel, i don't know how to find one. tried #tech, etc... but couldn't find one [12:14] not really [12:14] /msg alis list *word* [12:15] thers a garage sale around the corner and they have a laptop but the inport pin is broken [12:16] sysi, thanks ... nice command === Thermi is now known as thermi === thermi is now known as Thermi [15:21] is anyone here [15:22] pop a question if you have any, all people present ansver if they know [15:22] k [15:23] how do i set up vnc server? [15:25] i want to be able to access my computer from the internet [15:26] do i have to install a program ? [15:26] unless you have very fast internet connection, you can't really use graphical remote desktop [15:27] vnc is also unsecure, you would need to use it through ssh-pipe [15:28] how do i do that? [15:30] im sorry if my questions are newbie-ish [15:30] im kind of new to this [16:33] howdy [16:33] is it possible to hide/remove the network manager applet thing on my taskbar? === esco is now known as escoloader [17:15] how can i set the mouse/cursor speed?

[21:16] Maybe [21:25] hi. 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? [21:26] by shell you mean ctrl alt F1-6 terminals? [21:27] I mean a terminal window - I opened it by right-clicking in a folder. [21:28] altgr printscreen K will force logout [21:28] hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds usually works too [21:29] killing xorg is nicer than killing entire system [21:29] true [21:29] I just tried the first option. SOMETHING's happening (in that the mouse pointer has stopped moving, and I can hear the hard drive working). [21:30] Aha! It logged out. [21:31] I 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. [21:34] Thanks. [21:44] How do I empty the trash fully? [21:44] I empty the trash but there's no more room on my harddrive. [21:44] Are there hidden files somewhiere I can delete manually?
