| UBuxuBU | 32 or 64 bit bonny | 02:48 |
| bonny | 32 bit | 02:48 |
| UBuxuBU | one moment | 02:48 |
| bonny | ok | 02:49 |
| UBuxuBU | desktop? | 02:49 |
| UBuxuBU | or netbook? | 02:49 |

| UBuxuBU | simply dowload it and burn it to a cd | 02:51 |
| ericy | bonny: Hello again. | 02:51 |
| UBuxuBU | have u d-loaded it yet | 02:51 |
| bonny | do i open it with x archiver or save it some where | 02:52 |
| UBuxuBU | save it | 02:52 |
| bonny | save it where | 02:52 |
| UBuxuBU | ru in lubuntu? | 02:52 |
| bonny | yes | 02:52 |
| UBuxuBU | i think it saves t oyour home by default | 02:52 |
| bonny | ok its downloading | 02:53 |
| UBuxuBU | but if u want to save to desktop doesnt matter | 02:53 |
| bonny | so wat do i do when its done how do i burn to cd just copy and past? | 02:53 |
| UBuxuBU | burn to cd | 02:53 |
| bonny | if i right click it will there be an option to burn to cd? | 02:54 |
| UBuxuBU | im going to boot into lubuntu | 02:55 |
| UBuxuBU | brb | 02:55 |
| UBuxuBU | its on my other laptop | 02:55 |
| bonny | ok | 02:55 |
| ericy | bonny: Use Xarchiver (in Accessories menu). | 02:56 |
| bonny | i know but i saved it and i dont know how to burn something to cd | 02:56 |
| ericy | bonny: Use Xfburn in Sound Menu. | 02:58 |
| bonny | i dont have that | 02:58 |
| bonny | sudo apt-get install xfburn? | 02:59 |
| ericy | I am surprised because I think Xfburn is a default program. | 03:00 |
| bonny | nvm i do | 03:00 |
| bonny | nevermind srry | 03:00 |
| bonny | its just not in the menu | 03:00 |
| bonny | i can run it from terminal though | 03:00 |
| ericy | Really? In Sound & Video menu? | 03:01 |
| bonny | wow i think im kinda freakin out today haha its right there wow | 03:01 |
| ericy | It might be more convenient to run Xfburn by, Alt-F2. Try that. | 03:02 |
| UBuxuBU | hmmm my xburn refused to open...updating... | 03:02 |
| bonny | its ok i found it in the menu | 03:03 |
| ericy | . | 03:03 |

| bonny | ericy, have you ever tried ubuntu | 03:06 |
| ericy | As I said yesterday, I have been using Ubuntu for 2 years, and Lubuntu for 2 months. | 03:07 |
| UBuxuBU | its nice buts kinda slow | 03:07 |
| UBuxuBU | i like ubuntu if i have at least 1 gig of ram preferably 2 | 03:08 |
| bonny | oh ok | 03:08 |
| ericy | (Well I just had breakfast so soon I want to get back to writing a small utility in Python language.) ) | 03:09 |
| bonny | ceya ericy bye ubuuxbu thanks for the help | 03:10 |

| gnewb | Hello, can I put Lubuntu on a stick/USB ? | 04:40 |
| Unit193 | !usb | gnewb | 04:41 |
| ubot5 | gnewb: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 04:41 |
| gnewb | Thank you. | 04:41 |
| Unit193 | No problem! | 04:41 |
| gnewb | Unit93: That is where I was having the error at, I think it was Finalizing? | 04:42 |
| gnewb | Unit93: Was also a UC3 part on it, can I just get rid of that? | 04:45 |
| gnewb | Oh, ok, I just found that on that Link posted, Thank you kindly. | 04:46 |
| bioterror | booted a cd and installed on a usb stick | 05:27 |
| ericy | As we speak, I am running Lubuntu 10.10 Live & persistent, on a 4GB usb stick. (Using 500GB HDD for data and various linux partitions.) | 05:39 |
| ericy | gnewb: (See my last line.) | 05:41 |
| Unit193 | ericy: gnewb left #lubuntu some time ago | 05:43 |
| mali | heya... I was here the other day and speaking about helping out, I said if I get around o it I could/would :p | 05:47 |
| mali | but anyway.. I after testing, thinking, trying and all that, think I will settle on *buntu as main desktop.. and will use lubuntu BUT I admit , it is because I wish to have a low resource finished wm.. but also I wish to build up my 'main' DE, being pure compiz + a few things from lxde, kde, and so on. | 05:48 |
| mali | would you guys recommend a headless ubuntu server to start with or run it on lubuntu (I don't mind the extra space of having lxde/compiz).. and finally.. does lxde work fine on openbox too, and/or why is fluxbox chosen as it's wm? | 05:49 |
| mali | :) | 05:49 |
| mali | if anyone is around, that is :) | 05:49 |
| bioterror | mali, ubuntu mini.iso | 06:19 |
| bioterror | minimal installation | 06:19 |
| mali | bioterror: !!!! | 06:20 |
| mali | thank you omg I am downloading the server now and am wee[ping at the 600 :p | 06:20 |
| mali | MB* | 06:20 |
| mali | didn't ever rememebr seeing a mini.iso :) | 06:20 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 06:21 |
| mali | ye coudl only find desk, server, altenrate | 06:23 |
| bioterror | :--) | 06:23 |
| mali | :) | 06:23 |
| mali | thanks!! | 06:23 |
| bioterror | Have fun with creating your own flavour of *buntu | 06:23 |
| mali | well, I will pull in compiz say | 06:23 |
| bioterror | my desktop is part of LXDE and part of XFCE on Window Maker | 06:23 |
| mali | I guess the lovely auto mount features are all not gonna be there ;P | 06:24 |
| mali | twm? | 06:24 |
| bioterror | my laptop has pieces of Gnome, LXDE and XFCE on Fluxbox | 06:24 |
| mali | window maker == twm or not? I don't rememebr now.. but | 06:24 |
| mali | twm is my oldskool wm from you know the 99-00 era :p | 06:24 |
| mali | I use it always when i test X | 06:24 |
| mali | and it is remarkable how lovely implemented it is on logic | 06:25 |
| bioterror | twm should be the default Window Manager of X | 06:25 |
| bioterror | if I remember right | 06:25 |
| mali | smack it down where you need it, resize it, easy minimisation, dead small footprint | 06:25 |
| bioterror | and you get automount easily | 06:25 |
| bioterror | at least I have them ;) | 06:25 |
| mali | as one know.. everything else is eyecandy really so if one isn't bothered it's a great gui on top of a server say if you absolutely need it in days of visual need | 06:25 |
| mali | yes.. ah isn't window maker the same then? | 06:26 |
| mali | hmm, I will look it up as I knwo I used them all back in the day | 06:26 |
| mali | ye bioterror: easy and easy, when I try building on top of a lfs or something, I never get the automount's easily setup , at least not with the right RW rights | 06:26 |
| mali | but that's just a lil scrip there and there and should work itself out I guess | 06:27 |
| mali | so if I want to launch the mini.iso from disk, does it use generic names vmlinuz/initrd.img or does it append the kernel version buntu style? | 06:27 |
| mali | (nvm, I will figure that out now it's dl) | 06:29 |
| mali | ha! windowmaker.. i got curious now..you know, the only reason I want to have compiz as the engine is for that silly middle mouse click drag cube :p | 06:31 |
| mali | that is the single one thing I love having as eye candy | 06:31 |
| bioterror | I dont need them | 06:31 |
| bioterror | makes me feel bad as I change desktops alot | 06:31 |
| mali | all other things to me are unnecessary but I admit I have a weakness for that cube.. can't help it :/ | 06:31 |
| mali | for what? | 06:31 |
| mali | for changing and trying.. that's the beauty of the diversity of linux | 06:31 |
| mali | choice :) | 06:31 |
| mali | I tend to stick to something for a year at least but then I tend to have like a month or two of mayhem | 06:32 |
| mali | whenre I just try out so many different things and tent to fall back on something .. at least I know more what I want and what not | 06:32 |
| bioterror | http://ricecows.org/archhh4.png that's my desktop computer's desktop. beautiful I think. no need for moar eye candy | 06:33 |
| mali | will check it now.. blah start up creator doesn't accept the mini iso | 06:37 |
| mali | can I just dd it? | 06:37 |
| bioterror | nope | 06:38 |
| bioterror | only arch based distros can be dd | 06:38 |
| mali | well I did dd with squeeze net instl and it worked too :) | 06:38 |
| mali | so I thought debian/ubuntu | 06:38 |
| mali | but ye, both arch and squeeze i managed str8 dd | 06:38 |
| mali | dso I do what (z)cat or rsync | 06:39 |
| mali | then get syslinux etc from ftp or? | 06:39 |
| mali | very nice bioterror | 06:40 |
| mali | but on arch I get so much megalahem mayhem haha, I feel like going ubu bare, compiz only and I will compile the odd package I need updated | 06:41 |
| bioterror | if you compile yourself, remember to use checkinstall ;) | 06:41 |
| mali | althoguh arch = easiest, quickest install ever + grt boot times, but in arch I typically always have this hassle with | 06:42 |
| mali | with write perimssions on auotmounts and all | 06:42 |
| mali | ye, I know | 06:42 |
| bioterror | no problems | 06:42 |
| mali | I found checkinstall and all that a week back | 06:42 |
| bioterror | exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch wmaker | 06:42 |
| bioterror | and you get permissions with thunar | 06:42 |
| mali | ye I wasn't using thunar | 06:43 |
| mali | tried pcmanfm | 06:43 |
| mali | and was using dolphin as well whilst troubleshooting compiz | 06:43 |
| mali | the thing is with arch, I am somewhat unrelaxed about security with rolling release + non signatures on packages | 06:44 |
| mali | but I am getting a new computer in august, even if this one is onl 4 months old :p but then I think I will use arch for my funbox | 06:44 |
| mali | :D | 06:44 |
| mali | as it will be sooo juicy I think | 06:44 |
| mali | hmm will unetbootin work then with it.. should do right? will try | 06:45 |
| bioterror | yes | 06:45 |
| bioterror | unetbootin should work | 06:46 |
| mali | k | 06:47 |
| mali | well if I am not back soon it means I am pissin about with that and it worked.. else prolly iwll pop by and say "blah" | 06:47 |
| mali | ;) | 06:47 |
| mali | thanks for the tips ! | 06:47 |
| mali | worked | 06:50 |
| mali | yay | 06:50 |
| bioterror | \o/ | 06:50 |
| mali | hehe ye I forgot to sasve the compiz configuration crap when I get to that | 06:50 |
| mali | might try the windowmaker as an option as I wanted lubuntu, cos I don't mind a lightweight alternative but point is comp can handle bloat.. but I like it being concise BUT i want that middle mouse click drag cube rotate :P:P | 06:51 |
| mali | the ONE eye candy I like and want! | 06:51 |
| bioterror | ;) | 06:51 |
| mali | you use cli itrc or gui? | 06:51 |
| mali | eg. weechat or other? | 06:51 |
| bioterror | I'm using weechat | 06:51 |
| mali | as gui client I like | 06:51 |
| bioterror | and it makes me cry atm. | 06:51 |
| mali | ye.. I was just looking into that | 06:51 |
| mali | why? | 06:51 |
| bioterror | I upgraded it yesterday and eeeverything was broken | 06:52 |
| mali | ah crap :/ | 06:52 |
| bioterror | I still cant connect to two servers with SSL | 06:52 |
| mali | no backup files? | 06:52 |
| mali | rollback? | 06:52 |
| bioterror | I'm using dev tree of weechat | 06:52 |
| mali | I mean, what new features did you upgrade for? | 06:52 |
| mali | ye ok | 06:52 |
| bioterror | lots of, some stuff on act's and so on | 06:52 |
| bioterror | but removed them :D | 06:52 |
| mali | hehe | 06:52 |
| mali | :) | 06:53 |
| bioterror | WeeChat uptime: 92 days 03:22:49, started on Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:30:42 | 06:53 |
| bioterror | ;) | 06:53 |
| bioterror | maybe I should give up with the SSL | 06:53 |
| bioterror | seems to make life a lot harder | 06:53 |
| Unit193 | Irssi: Uptime: 22d 7h 7m 21s | 06:54 |
| Unit193 | You win ;) | 06:54 |
| bioterror | hmm, my vps been up for 103 days | 06:55 |
| bioterror | not bad | 06:55 |
| Unit193 | Ah! I SSH into my own... | 06:55 |
| mali | hehe | 06:58 |
| mali | ok bbl am off to play with mini iso :p | 06:58 |
| Unit193 | bioterror: Do you use Mutt or Alpine? | 06:59 |
| bioterror | alpine | 06:59 |
| malina | well bioterror | 09:28 |
| malina | I got it just as I wanted it.. kinda ;p | 09:28 |
| bioterror | almost there then | 09:28 |
| malina | the .compiz-session in ~ doesn't seem to trigegr :/ | 09:29 |
| malina | trigger | 09:29 |
| malina | and I don't have ouse in 'gdm' as I just took that for now | 09:29 |
| malina | thats a xf86-uvdev | 09:29 |
| malina | something? | 09:29 |
| malina | I couldn't find it in apt in the back of my miund | 09:29 |
| bioterror | synaptics? | 09:29 |
| malina | ye I have a | 09:29 |
| malina | ye | 09:29 |
| malina | as in , my usb mouse won't work in the gdm | 09:29 |
| malina | only after I login to compiz | 09:29 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 09:30 |
| malina | and I have to still do compiz --replace ccp | 09:30 |
| bioterror | I'm not familiar with compiz | 09:30 |
| malina | even if I set up sessions.desktop in usr/share/xsessions, | 09:30 |
| malina | ya it's more about the X not readin gme scripts | 09:30 |
| malina | but I guess I will figure i tout | 09:30 |
| malina | and I kinda liked not having a BG, so when I rotrate you can still see inside the cube afterwards, BUT it disappears again on startup.. sigh | 09:31 |
| malina | but it's at least *almsot* there ;p | 09:31 |
| bioterror | some fine tuning :D | 09:32 |
| malina | ye hehe | 09:33 |
| malina | god I love that lil mouse trail particles thingy alway when I first set up compoz | 09:33 |
| malina | then I go tired of it aftr a day ;p | 09:33 |
