[00:04] <lrussell> I need help. Xubuntu is acting slow. I have 256 mb of ram, i know it isnt all that much but... it it kinda rediciously slow... I'm reinstalling it right now hoping it might do something
[00:08] <lrussell> anyone here?
[01:05] <PatrickC_Pre2> does git come pre-installed?
[01:14] <knome> no
[01:15] <PatrickC_Pre2> ok
[01:15] <PatrickC_Pre2> thanks
[01:15] <knome> no problem
[01:21] <PatrickC_Pre2> xubuntu is nice
[01:22] <PatrickC_Pre2> but it runs a little slow
[01:25] <psycho_oreos> maybe its yer computer specs that are a little above the minimum requirements
[01:27] <patrickc-ubuntu> i have 4gb available ram
[01:27] <patrickc-ubuntu> but i am allowing 1gb i believe
[01:28] <patrickc-ubuntu> im using it in a vbox
[01:56] <psycho_oreos> 1GB should be plenty in theory. Other possible reasons may include video driver under vbox
[02:52] <alex__> can someone help me? im a new xubuntu user
[02:52] <alex__> its my first linux try
[02:53] <alex__> 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] <alex__> is xubuntu the good choice or should i use a different os for compatibleness?
[11:12] <brothersome> How does Xubuntu perform on a PanelPC with 4 GB, any experience here
[11:27] <ikonia> bergasche: same as any PC with a similar spec
[11:28] <ikonia> should be very reasonable as 4GB is massiver over kill for such a light window manager
[11:28] <brothersome> Does the evtouch driver works good in xubuntu?
[11:28] <brothersome> I have a panel PC with 1 GB RAM and 4 GB flash
[11:29] <brothersome> Ram should be enough for Ubuntu --- Expecting below 300 MB
[11:52] <mikubuntu> hey guys anybody know a channel for tech help (physical repair)?
[12:01] <mikubuntu> is it possible to charge a laptop from another laptop via usb?
[12:13] <Sysi> i think laptops can't intake power from usb
[12:14] <mikubuntu> 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

[15:23] <Xubuntunoob> how do i set up  vnc server?
[15:25] <Xubuntunoob> i want to be able to access my computer from the internet
[15:26] <Xubuntunoob> do i have to install a program ?
[15:26] <Sysi> unless you have very fast internet connection, you can't really use graphical remote desktop
[15:27] <Sysi> vnc is also unsecure, you would need to use it through ssh-pipe
[15:28] <Xubuntunoob> how do i do that?
[15:30] <Xubuntunoob> im sorry if my questions are newbie-ish
[15:30] <Xubuntunoob> im kind of new to this

[17:18] <Sysi> hum, it should
[17:23] <josi> sysi: i have a thinkpad. the trackball is normal, the mouse is too fast
[17:30] <josi> sysi: its a common problem with some mice... thanks for the moment. bye

[21:25] <chudy_michef> 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] <Sysi> by shell you mean ctrl alt F1-6 terminals?
[21:27] <chudy_michef> I mean a terminal window - I opened it by right-clicking in a folder.
[21:28] <Sysi> altgr printscreen K will force logout
[21:28] <charlie-tca> hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds usually works too
[21:29] <Sysi> killing xorg is nicer than killing entire system
[21:29] <charlie-tca> true
[21:29] <chudy_michef> 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] <chudy_michef> Aha! It logged out.
[21:31] <chudy_michef> 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] <chudy_michef> Thanks.
[21:44] <root__> How do I empty the trash fully?
[21:44] <root__> I empty the trash but there's no more room on my harddrive.
[21:44] <root__> Are there hidden files somewhiere I can delete manually?
[21:45] <Sysi> did you have anything there (also please don't crosspost)
[21:50] <root__> Sysi:
[21:50] <root__> i used rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/* but df still says the same
[21:50] <root__> I didn't see what was there
[21:51] <root__> Sysi: yes I had a 1.5 GB file in the trash can
[21:53] <Sysi> stay on one channel, i'm there too
