| andantino | #xubuntu must be the monastic distro | 04:25 |
|---|---|---|
| andantino | xubuntu* | 04:25 |
| MK` | what are xubuntu's HDD requirements? | 04:26 |
| charlie-tca | with the alternate cd, 2.5GB; with the desktop cd, 4.4GB | 04:27 |
| andantino | what is the alternate cd? a net install with package selection? | 04:28 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 04:28 |
| charlie-tca | a text-based installer instead of the gui | 04:28 |
| andantino | ah | 04:28 |
| MK` | Alternate also allows you to use full disk encryption | 04:31 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 04:31 |
| MK` | is 5GB enough for Xubuntu? | 04:42 |
| MK` | for / | 04:42 |
| charlie-tca | yes, anytime | 04:43 |
| charlie-tca | If you wait about three minutes, I can tell you what it installs at, even | 04:44 |
| MK` | yeah | 04:44 |
| MK` | please heh | 04:44 |
| charlie-tca | I have a fresh install rebooting now | 04:44 |
| GridCube | :D i installed one of my tests on 3,5gb | 04:45 |
| MK` | and, if you can tell me the size of /boot separately, that'd be great | 04:46 |
| MK` | I wanna partition this correctly heh | 04:48 |
| charlie-tca | Looks like the entire installation took 1.88 GB | 04:50 |
| charlie-tca | Allowing for new files, tmp files for updates, etc, plan at least 3GB? | 04:50 |
| MK` | This is an 80 GB HDD, has windows on it, 15 GB free | 04:51 |
| MK` | hm... | 04:51 |
| charlie-tca | boot = 22.9MB | 04:52 |
| charlie-tca | 15 is plenty | 04:52 |
| MK` | well I know windows needs some leg room | 04:52 |
| charlie-tca | You don't really need a separate boot | 04:52 |
| charlie-tca | I have installed in 3GB, but I usually give /swap 1GB too | 04:53 |
| MK` | hm | 04:53 |
| MK` | Should I get rid of Windows XP? | 04:53 |
| charlie-tca | not until you are sure you don't want/need it | 04:53 |
| MK` | The *sole* thing people here use on Windows now is iTunes | 04:54 |
| charlie-tca | I haven't used windows in ?? years now. I did buy windows 3.1 when it came out | 04:54 |
| MK` | lemme see if you can buy from itunes without the client | 04:54 |
| charlie-tca | You might be able to use Rythmbox for it | 04:55 |
| MK` | I mean the iTunes Store | 04:55 |
| charlie-tca | do a install, with 4 gb root, 1gb swap, 5 gb /home | 04:55 |
| charlie-tca | That will let you play with it and see if you like it | 04:56 |
| charlie-tca | It is also faster than the live cd | 04:56 |
| MK` | I've tried Rythmbox, Amarok, etc. they're nice | 04:56 |
| MK` | hm | 04:56 |
| MK` | the PC has 1.5GB ram, is 1GB swap advisable? | 05:00 |
| GridCube | it won't harm you | 05:02 |
| MK` | Also... This PC has a 5GB OEM backup partition. What can I use to make a partition image for backup? | 05:02 |
| GridCube | mmm i used déjà vu once, worked pretty well | 05:04 |
| GridCube | but don't really know | 05:04 |
| GridCube | déjà dup | 05:04 |
| MK` | hm | 05:06 |
| GridCube | i used it to store a backup of a w7 then formated and restored and everything worked, almost | 05:07 |
| TheCheggs | Hey guy's, I am really sorry to bother but i have a question. How would I go about installing a custom theme? | 05:22 |
| GridCube | mmm | 05:24 |
| GridCube | you could ahm download a theme, uncompress it anywhere and then unpack it, "sudo mv" it to /usr/share/themes and then change the theme in the appearance dialog | 05:26 |
| TheCheggs | hmm alright let me try that out :) thank you | 05:26 |
| GridCube | ok i sayd uncompress and unpack, thats some recursivitu right there | 05:26 |
| TheCheggs | hey that worked! | 05:30 |
| TheCheggs | thank you very much :D | 05:30 |
| GridCube | :D | 05:30 |
| GridCube | you are very welcome | 05:30 |
| GridCube | also be never sorry to ask questions | 05:31 |
| GridCube | :) | 05:31 |
| TheCheggs | alright :) | 05:31 |
| jozefk | o/ | 07:16 |
| jozefk | I don't see how to change the user image in xfce | 07:17 |
| === gpc is now known as IdleOne | ||
| TheSheep | jozefk: save it as .face | 07:19 |
| jozefk | ~/.face? | 07:20 |
| TheSheep | yes | 07:20 |
| jozefk | no .png no .jpg no nothing? just .face that's it? :) | 07:21 |
| jozefk | what about the size? | 07:21 |
| MK`` | file extension is for the human :P | 07:23 |
| jozefk | yeah. linux is often smart enough to know what kind of file it is. I had a movie without extension at all and linux just open it in video player :)) | 07:25 |
| MK`` | Yeah, good software will detect the type of the file by looking at it | 07:28 |
| MK`` | I know a few websites that will only let you upload .jpg for avatars, but you can just rename a png to .jpg and it will accept it | 07:29 |
| MK`` | Relying on the extension is a security risk | 07:29 |
| jozefk | yeah. about websites I know. it was always stupid for me. yeah that's also true. you can rename .zip to .jpg and upload it for example :)) I did that sometimes and it worked also | 07:33 |
| rojaa | greetings | 10:01 |
| rojaa | anyone have any luck installing new icons on xubuntu? | 10:02 |
| plantoschka | is it possible to have "aero-snap" in xfce? Unity, Gnome3 and KDE offer this. | 12:16 |
| plantoschka | that looks nice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAc6vc93jxc possible in xubuntu? | 12:20 |
| TheSheep | plantoschka: no, unless you use a different window manager | 12:32 |

| goutbulgare | the video is lagging | 13:07 |
| plantoschka | copy&paste in eclipse is only working occasionaly :( | 13:23 |
| Superbest | I'm gonna install xubuntu from a usb drive, what do I do with the iso's I download? | 14:06 |
| Superbest | oh is it unetbootin? | 14:06 |
| charlie-tca | use unetbootin to put the iso on the usb drive | 14:07 |
| Superbest | ok, I'd forgotten all about it, heh | 14:07 |
| docteri | I can't seem to find the menu to launch "Password and Encryption Keys" so I can manage Gnome Keyring, and I don't know the Default password. Running 11.4. Any clues? | 14:09 |
| charlie-tca | docteri: should be in Menu -> Settings | 14:09 |
| charlie-tca | If not, install seahorse | 14:09 |
| docteri | Aha, thanks | 14:10 |
| docteri | (need to install seahorse, apparently) | 14:10 |
| jozefk | usb never worked for me | 14:13 |
| gynter | Hello, cat xubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso > /dev/sdb should work fine to make usb install memstick? | 14:37 |
| charlie-tca | Not to my knowledge | 14:38 |
| charlie-tca | use unetbootin | 14:40 |
| jozefk | use external DVD rom | 14:42 |
| jozefk | :) | 14:42 |
| gynter | but first I need to make a partition? | 14:42 |
| charlie-tca | jozefk: not at all helpful | 14:43 |
| jozefk | he will save time | 14:43 |
| charlie-tca | gynter: unetbootin should take care of it for you | 14:43 |
| jozefk | it should but for me it didn't | 14:43 |
| gynter | thats too bad, that cat'ing doesn't work... works fine for debian netinstall thou :) | 14:43 |
| Sysi | works for almost every other distro.. not *buntu | 14:44 |
| jozefk | maybe dd would work for ubuntu :) | 14:45 |
| Sysi | nope | 14:45 |
| Sysi | shouldn't work and i've never heard it to work | 14:46 |
| gynter | hmm, but i have only 10.04 in unetbootin | 14:47 |
| jozefk | maybe that's why it didn't worked for me too | 14:47 |
| Sysi | download .iso and use it | 14:47 |
| gynter | should I specivy /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1? | 14:48 |
| Sysi | sdb | 14:48 |
| Sysi | oh, sdb1 for unetbootin | 14:49 |
| Sysi | can't remember how it represents partitions/devices | 14:50 |
| charlie-tca | iso is some kind of compressed image, isn't it? | 14:51 |
| Sysi | more like virtual disk image, like you can have virtual machines | 14:51 |
| Sysi | virtual filesystem, you can mount .iso | 14:52 |
| gynter | Didn't work, eg doesn't boot | 14:56 |
| gynter | just blinks "_" | 14:56 |
| gynter | Used unetbootin and image | 14:57 |
| gynter | Any other suggestions :) ? | 15:04 |
| knome | use the usb disk creator. | 15:08 |
| gynter | I'm not on Unbuntu :) | 15:10 |
| knome | i don't know then. can you use a cd burner software + a cd? | 15:22 |
| gynter | no | 15:23 |
| gynter | 1 more try and then i'll go with debian :P | 15:24 |
| gynter | Xubuntu uses same installr as Ubuntu, right? | 15:40 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 15:41 |
| gynter | Do I really have to install Ubuntu or Windows to create bootable Xubuntu pen drive :P ? | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 15:46 |
| charlie-tca | If you have xubuntu installed, just install unetbootin or usb-creator and use them | 15:47 |
| mnemoc | gynter: you can buy one from on-disk.com ;-) | 15:47 |
| gynter | I have debian | 15:47 |
| gynter | And using Unetbootin didn't work | 15:47 |
| charlie-tca | hm, maybe ask in #debian if there is such a channel, how to do it in Debian? | 15:47 |
| gynter | Hm, k never mind, I'll just install debian with xfce then :) | 15:50 |
