| skx | Hey, I have xubuntu 10.10 and a problem with locale, it's by default set to "en", whatever that is, and so messes up a lot of apps | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| skx | I would prefer some sort of utf | 00:01 |
| skx | maybe en_US | 00:01 |
| skx | how do I globally set that? | 00:01 |
| skx | the language support doesn't let me choose any flavour of English | 00:01 |
| skx | there's just English | 00:01 |
| skx | which, I assume, is this "en" | 00:01 |
| skx | "English" is in black and flavours like "English (United States)" are in light grey and not clickable | 00:02 |

| memee | hello all | 19:18 |
| memee | i have a computer cpu 1,4GB with 256 Mb ram, ubuntu is extremely slow, xubuntu should be easy on it ? | 19:20 |
| Sysi | memee: 256 isn too much, xubuntu will run better but i'd maybe recommend lubuntu | 19:21 |
| Sysi | you can try installing both, xubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop | 19:21 |
| memee | Sysi thank for the advise , i plan tomorrow to buy 256M used ram to add on it, it should help i guess | 19:27 |
| memee | used markets here are really Ali baba caverns for pc parts | 19:28 |
| mint | Hi...I am looking for an OS without plymouth | 20:09 |
| === mint is now known as Guest83181 | ||
| Guest83181 | Does Xubuntu have a splash screen? | 20:09 |
| Guest83181 | hi? | 20:10 |
| Guest83181 | is anyone here? | 20:11 |
| Josesordo | hello all.. yes have a splash screen that I dont know how to customize it yet =( | 20:17 |
| Guest83181 | Is it plymouth or something else? | 20:23 |
| Guest83181 | I need to find a OS that can use ATI | 20:24 |
| Guest83181 | What's disappointing about Zorin, people say it's easy to use | 20:32 |
| Soupermanito | Guest83181, it is plymouth | 20:32 |
| Guest83181 | Crap | 20:32 |
| Guest83181 | What about dream linux? | 20:32 |
| Guest83181 | Also plymouth? | 20:32 |
| Soupermanito | what is dream linux? | 20:32 |
| Guest83181 | It's based on Debian lenny | 20:33 |
| Guest83181 | It has a mac look | 20:33 |
| Soupermanito | no idea | 20:33 |
| Guest83181 | uses 256 megabytes of ram | 20:33 |
| Guest83181 | can be run from usb | 20:33 |
| Guest83181 | Development on it is slow though | 20:33 |
| Soupermanito | i dont know | 20:33 |
| Guest83181 | Nimble X? | 20:34 |
| Soupermanito | if you want a small linux lubuntu is an option | 20:34 |
| Guest83181 | Actually I want a OS I can install on hard disk | 20:34 |
| Guest83181 | That doesn't use Plymouth | 20:34 |
| Soupermanito | XD | 20:34 |
| Soupermanito | why? | 20:34 |
| Guest83181 | Because I am using Linux Mint 8 from live cd | 20:35 |
| Guest83181 | right now because Linux Mint 10 uses plymouth | 20:35 |
| Guest83181 | That's why I can't boot anymore | 20:35 |
| Soupermanito | thats weird | 20:35 |
| Guest83181 | I had to manually shut down too many times because of boot problems | 20:35 |
| Soupermanito | why wont it boot? | 20:35 |
| Guest83181 | And caused some sort of corruption in Grub | 20:35 |
| Guest83181 | All from trying to get my ATI to boot | 20:36 |
| Guest83181 | Yet here I am using my ATI in Mint Helena which ironically is considered obsolete | 20:36 |
| Soupermanito | lol ati | 20:36 |
| Soupermanito | but really it should boot anyway | 20:36 |
| Soupermanito | cant you run into safe mode? | 20:37 |
| Soupermanito | init 2? | 20:37 |
| Guest83181 | No it goes into grey screen | 20:37 |
| Guest83181 | Especially if I push f2 to go into the bios and switch back to agp | 20:37 |
| Guest83181 | It will ignore my commands and start loading mint 10 and freeze in what can only be the coolest black and white matrix graphic | 20:38 |
| Soupermanito | but that sounds like a grub problem, not a plymouth | 20:38 |
| Guest83181 | I said that I corrupted grub from pushing the off button too many times | 20:38 |
| Guest83181 | So I have to reinstall | 20:39 |
| Guest83181 | But it wouldn't have happened if plymouth wasn't installed | 20:39 |
| Guest83181 | Does Xubuntu have Plymouth? | 20:39 |
| Soupermanito | yes, at least on 10.04 | 20:40 |
| Soupermanito | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451592 | 20:40 |
| Soupermanito | read this | 20:40 |
| Sysi | every modern ditro has it | 20:40 |
| Sysi | exept arch maybe | 20:41 |
| Guest83181 | Ahhh! It's a Monopoly! | 20:41 |
| Soupermanito | oligopoly at least | 20:41 |
| Guest83181 | Why? I think that Linux mint 8 has a better splash screen then 10 | 20:41 |
| Sysi | i wouldn't base my OS choise on bootscreen i have to watch for seconds | 20:41 |
| Soupermanito | he says it wont boot if it uses plymouth | 20:41 |
| Guest83181 | Well...I might get something that isn't as modern then | 20:41 |
| Guest83181 | Well...for the most part grub is corrupted right now | 20:42 |
| Soupermanito | there, see, thats what i was saying to you | 20:42 |
| Guest83181 | Installing a new os might help | 20:42 |
| Soupermanito | it sounded like a grub problem more than a plymouth | 20:42 |
| Soupermanito | install xubuntu! | 20:42 |
| Guest83181 | But ATI wouldn't boot before I had the grub problem | 20:42 |
| Soupermanito | :D | 20:42 |
| Soupermanito | yeah, but ati sucks | 20:43 |
| Guest83181 | That's why I kept holding the blue button | 20:43 |
| Guest83181 | which corrupted the grub | 20:43 |
| Guest83181 | I might go with Dream linux, it's out of date but it sounds awesome | 20:43 |
| drc | Guest83181: Have you tried LMDE? | 20:43 |
| Sysi | i use what ever works and customise it to be nice | 20:43 |
| Guest83181 | You mean Mint Debian? | 20:44 |
| drc | Yes | 20:44 |
| Guest83181 | I am not advanced enough to use it | 20:44 |
| Sysi | i still don't have much respect for mint | 20:44 |
| Guest83181 | Though I did manage to set up my own Openbox desktop before I corrupted grub | 20:44 |
| Guest83181 | Shame really | 20:44 |
| Sysi | boot from livecd on copy your settings | 20:45 |
| Guest83181 | ??? | 20:45 |
| Guest83181 | What's that mean? | 20:45 |
| Sysi | you can boot to linux from livecd, then just copy config files somewhere | 20:46 |
| Guest83181 | I'm using Mint 8 | 20:46 |
| Guest83181 | No other mint will work since I'm stuck using PCI | 20:46 |
| Sysi | pci what? | 20:46 |
| Guest83181 | PCI as default | 20:46 |
| Soupermanito | \o/ yay! new doctor who torrent! | 20:47 |
| Sysi | Soupermanito: keep it legal please, CoC | 20:47 |
| Sysi | Guest83181: i still don't get that | 20:47 |
| Guest83181 | My BIOS is set to PCI and I can't change it | 20:47 |
| Sysi | ..okay | 20:48 |
| Guest83181 | Which means I'm using my ATI | 20:48 |
| Soupermanito | oh, sorry | 20:48 |
| Guest83181 | Which causes black screens in mint 9 and 10 | 20:48 |
| Sysi | Guest83181: that just means it needs some configuring :) | 20:48 |
| Guest83181 | And even if I go into the BIOS right now, Instead of switching to AGP, it'll cause a grey screen | 20:48 |
| Sysi | mint people should help, i'd think xforcevesa or something as boot option should work | 20:49 |
| Guest83181 | You mean from the live cd? | 20:49 |
| Sysi | get xubuntu and then i can even try to help if google doesn't know | 20:50 |
| Guest83181 | Anyway, I was going to download an ISO to this junk MP3 drive and try and use unetbootin to create a live USB | 20:50 |
| Guest83181 | Since I don't have anymore cds | 20:50 |
| Guest83181 | However downloading will be a problem since I'm in a live cd | 20:51 |
| Soupermanito | why? | 20:51 |
| Guest83181 | I want to get Dream Linux because it's a modern OS that hasn't been updated since -09 | 20:51 |
| Soupermanito | mount a hard drive | 20:51 |
| Soupermanito | get xubuntu 10.04 | 20:52 |
| Soupermanito | :/ | 20:52 |
| Guest83181 | I want to try to get one that doesn't have a splash screen. | 20:52 |
| Guest83181 | I'd use Puppy Linux but you can't install it | 20:52 |
| Soupermanito | ... yes, yes you can | 20:53 |
| Guest83181 | Not without partitioning first and I don't know how to edit grub2 | 20:53 |
| Soupermanito | all my library terminals use puppy | 20:53 |
| Guest83181 | What's CrunchBang? | 20:53 |
| Guest83181 | Your a librarian? | 20:53 |
| Soupermanito | indeed :D | 20:54 |
| Soupermanito | well a student of library science that happens to work on a library | 20:54 |
| Guest83181 | Linux Library! Awesome | 20:55 |
| Guest83181 | Anyway I'm looking at distro lists | 20:55 |
| Guest83181 | I came across Crunchbang linux | 20:55 |
| Soupermanito | :D its easier to leave unatended because people cant get them flooded whit viruses or install stuff on them | 20:56 |
| Guest83181 | True! | 20:56 |
| Soupermanito | crunchbag i see, its interesting, well if i need a small linux i use slitaz or puppy | 20:57 |
| Guest83181 | I always got angry that computers at the library would be broken the next time I came in | 20:57 |
| Soupermanito | that happens | 20:57 |
| Guest83181 | On the list of distros Nimble X and Crunchbang are rated higher then Puppy :( | 20:57 |
| drc | Guest83181: Who's list? | 20:58 |
| Guest83181 | Linux.com | 20:58 |
| drc | AS long as it's not Distrowatch's :) | 20:59 |
| Guest83181 | Can I install Unetbootin from the live cd? Or does it come preinstalled? | 20:59 |
| Soupermanito | try it | 21:00 |
| Soupermanito | if its not installed apt-get it | 21:00 |
| Guest83181 | How? | 21:00 |
| Guest83181 | It can't find Unetbootin | 21:01 |
| pwrusr | Is there something I need to do to get rythmbox gmusicplaer to remember the settings i give it?? | 21:01 |
| Soupermanito | i dont know if you need sudo from the livecd but if no then just apt-get install unetbootin | 21:01 |
| Guest83181 | I tried | 21:02 |
| Guest83181 | I It says that install is an invalid operation | 21:03 |
| Guest83181 | It installed | 21:05 |
| Guest83181 | Now I need an OS | 21:05 |
| Guest83181 | Pclinux Os has a KDE Minime | 21:05 |
| Guest83181 | Or is that bad? | 21:05 |
| pwrusr | why does no one answer me when i post a question here ?? | 21:07 |
| Guest83181 | I know, I've been frustrated before | 21:07 |
| Guest83181 | patience is a virtue | 21:07 |
| pwrusr | if patience is a vitue i should have angel status by now | 21:08 |
| pwrusr | virtue | 21:08 |
| Guest83181 | Hah! | 21:08 |
| Guest83181 | We all should | 21:08 |
| drc | pwrusr: Maybe because you claim to be a Power User and we think that we'd embarass ourselves in front of you? | 21:09 |
| Guest83181 | Can someone name a good OS Distro? | 21:09 |
| pwrusr | oh lol sry i will change that | 21:09 |
| pwrusr | have been using that tag 4 years never thought of it like that | 21:09 |

| ludite | sry souper just having a little fun | 21:10 |
| drc | ludite: Didn't know you were <that> old.... | 21:10 |
| Guest83181 | Would anyone recommend Arch Linux? | 21:11 |
| ludite | im haveing trouble getting rhythmbox and gmusicplayer to remember the settings i give them | 21:11 |
| Guest83181 | Does it use Plymouth? | 21:11 |
| ludite | whem i close and restart them the music libraries are empty | 21:11 |
| drc | Guest83181: Arch? Not for you...it requires a great deal of linux knowledge to install and configure it. | 21:13 |
| Guest83181 | Oh | 21:13 |
| Guest83181 | I'm trying to download Dream Linux | 21:13 |
| Soupermanito | can you run rhythmbox from a console and see some errors while adding settings to it? | 21:14 |
| Soupermanito | thats usually the fastest way to determinate why some things happen | 21:14 |
| Sysi | ludite: killall gcofd-2 | 21:15 |
| Sysi | with those apps closed | 21:15 |
| Guest83181 | I need an OS that has long term support and has good hardware compatibility without all the glitz and glam | 21:15 |
| Sysi | try debian | 21:15 |
| Guest83181 | Wait, I remember that Debian doesn't have Plymouth and Plymouth can be uninstalled | 21:15 |
| Sysi | ludite: sorry typo, gconfd-2 | 21:16 |
| drc | ludite: I know rhythmbox stores it data in ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml. Delete that file, open rhythmbox, add a coupple of files, close rhythmbox, and open that file in an editor...see what it says. | 21:16 |
| Guest83181 | Dream Linux is a fork of Debian though | 21:16 |
| Guest83181 | Hmmm | 21:16 |
| Sysi | drc: i've had that problem couple of times, and killing gconfd-2 always helped, not sure about gmusicbrowser though | 21:17 |
| === xGrind-off is now known as xGrind | ||
| drc | Sysi: I'm thinking that you may be right...especially if <both> apps do it | 21:18 |
| Sysi | so.. would i like to try kde-netbook or gnome3 on that netbook | 21:20 |
| * drc looks for his garlic at the mention of KDE...he <knows> its well done, but doesn't like it anyway :) | 21:21 | |
| * Soupermanito seconds drc statement | 21:21 | |
| Sysi | i have regular plasma on this desktop, i tried netbook but it failed with dualscreen | 21:22 |
| TheSheep | so, since I updated to Natty the 'Create Document' menu seems to take forever to display, using up lots of cpu in the process, is that a known bug? | 21:51 |

| roasted_ | unless I'm just being absent minded | 23:42 |
| TheSheep | btw, double- and triple- finger tap should be enabled by default | 23:42 |
| roasted_ | well, if it makes a difference I installed ubuntu then xfce | 23:43 |
| roasted_ | not xubuntu | 23:43 |
| roasted_ | but it works on ubuntu | 23:43 |
| TheSheep | it shouldn't make a difference | 23:43 |

| TheSheep | I think double defaults to middle click | 23:43 |
| TheSheep | triple is right | 23:44 |
| roasted_ | I'm still not sure I'm following | 23:45 |
| roasted_ | I see nothing here that is what I;m looking for | 23:45 |
| TheSheep | tap with 3 fingers | 23:45 |
| roasted_ | ahh | 23:45 |
| roasted_ | yeah | 23:45 |
| roasted_ | 3 right clicks | 23:46 |
| roasted_ | can I change it | 23:46 |
| roasted_ | ? | 23:46 |

| CPrompt^ | greetings. Just installed Xubuntu 11.04 and it doesn't seem to have apache2 or PHP in the default repos | 23:51 |
| CPrompt^ | looking through the internet doesn't really turn up much | 23:51 |
