[04:25] #xubuntu must be the monastic distro [04:25] xubuntu* [04:26] what are xubuntu's HDD requirements? [04:27] with the alternate cd, 2.5GB; with the desktop cd, 4.4GB [04:28] what is the alternate cd? a net install with package selection? [04:28] nope [04:28] a text-based installer instead of the gui [04:28] ah [04:31] Alternate also allows you to use full disk encryption [04:31] yes [04:42] is 5GB enough for Xubuntu? [04:42] for / [04:43] yes, anytime [04:44] If you wait about three minutes, I can tell you what it installs at, even [04:44] yeah [04:44] please heh [04:44] I have a fresh install rebooting now [04:45] :D i installed one of my tests on 3,5gb [04:46] and, if you can tell me the size of /boot separately, that'd be great [04:48] I wanna partition this correctly heh [04:50] Looks like the entire installation took 1.88 GB [04:50] Allowing for new files, tmp files for updates, etc, plan at least 3GB? [04:51] This is an 80 GB HDD, has windows on it, 15 GB free [04:51] hm... [04:52] boot = 22.9MB [04:52] 15 is plenty [04:52] well I know windows needs some leg room [04:52] You don't really need a separate boot [04:53] I have installed in 3GB, but I usually give /swap 1GB too [04:53] hm [04:53] Should I get rid of Windows XP? [04:53] not until you are sure you don't want/need it [04:54] The *sole* thing people here use on Windows now is iTunes [04:54] I haven't used windows in ?? years now. I did buy windows 3.1 when it came out [04:54] lemme see if you can buy from itunes without the client [04:55] You might be able to use Rythmbox for it [04:55] I mean the iTunes Store [04:55] do a install, with 4 gb root, 1gb swap, 5 gb /home [04:56] That will let you play with it and see if you like it [04:56] It is also faster than the live cd [04:56] I've tried Rythmbox, Amarok, etc. they're nice [04:56] hm [05:00] the PC has 1.5GB ram, is 1GB swap advisable? [05:02] it won't harm you [05:02] Also... This PC has a 5GB OEM backup partition. What can I use to make a partition image for backup? [05:04] mmm i used déjà vu once, worked pretty well [05:04] but don't really know [05:04] déjà dup [05:06] hm [05:07] i used it to store a backup of a w7 then formated and restored and everything worked, almost [05:22] Hey guy's, I am really sorry to bother but i have a question. How would I go about installing a custom theme? [05:24] mmm [05:26] 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] hmm alright let me try that out :) thank you [05:26] ok i sayd uncompress and unpack, thats some recursivitu right there [05:30] hey that worked! [05:30] thank you very much :D [05:30] :D [05:30] you are very welcome [05:31] also be never sorry to ask questions [05:31] :) [05:31] alright :) [07:16] o/ [07:17] I don't see how to change the user image in xfce === gpc is now known as IdleOne [07:19] jozefk: save it as .face [07:20] ~/.face? [07:20] yes [07:21] no .png no .jpg no nothing? just .face that's it? :) [07:21] what about the size? [07:23] file extension is for the human :P [07:25] 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 :)) [07:28] Yeah, good software will detect the type of the file by looking at it [07:29] 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] Relying on the extension is a security risk [07:33] 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 [10:01] greetings [10:02] anyone have any luck installing new icons on xubuntu? [12:16] is it possible to have "aero-snap" in xfce? Unity, Gnome3 and KDE offer this. [12:20] that looks nice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAc6vc93jxc possible in xubuntu? [12:32] plantoschka: no, unless you use a different window manager [12:57] bonjour [12:58] !fr | goutbulgare [12:58] goutbulgare: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [12:58] hi, i need some help after installing xubuntu [12:59] some help for a graphic card radeon and a minipci wifi module [13:01] humm [13:01] well [13:03] i think my cpu support all graphic charge, how can i be certain that the driver is correctly working for my radeon? [13:03] !wifi | goutbulgare [13:03] goutbulgare: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:03] is there any checking test or something? [13:04] oookey; an dfor the wifi, i installed it bay the ndiswrapper system, it says tha the module is present, but i dont see it in ifconfig, how can i check it? [13:07] the video is lagging [13:23] copy&paste in eclipse is only working occasionaly :( [14:06] I'm gonna install xubuntu from a usb drive, what do I do with the iso's I download? [14:06] oh is it unetbootin? [14:07] use unetbootin to put the iso on the usb drive [14:07] ok, I'd forgotten all about it, heh [14:09] 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] docteri: should be in Menu -> Settings [14:09] If not, install seahorse [14:10] Aha, thanks [14:10] (need to install seahorse, apparently) [14:13] usb never worked for me [14:37] Hello, cat xubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso > /dev/sdb should work fine to make usb install memstick? [14:38] Not to my knowledge [14:40] use unetbootin [14:42] use external DVD rom [14:42] :) [14:42] but first I need to make a partition? [14:43] jozefk: not at all helpful [14:43] he will save time [14:43] gynter: unetbootin should take care of it for you [14:43] it should but for me it didn't [14:43] thats too bad, that cat'ing doesn't work... works fine for debian netinstall thou :) [14:44] works for almost every other distro.. not *buntu [14:45] maybe dd would work for ubuntu :) [14:45] nope [14:46] shouldn't work and i've never heard it to work [14:47] hmm, but i have only 10.04 in unetbootin [14:47] maybe that's why it didn't worked for me too [14:47] download .iso and use it [14:48] should I specivy /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1? [14:48] sdb [14:49] oh, sdb1 for unetbootin [14:50] can't remember how it represents partitions/devices [14:51] iso is some kind of compressed image, isn't it? [14:51] more like virtual disk image, like you can have virtual machines [14:52] virtual filesystem, you can mount .iso [14:56] Didn't work, eg doesn't boot [14:56] just blinks "_" [14:57] Used unetbootin and image [15:04] Any other suggestions :) ? [15:08] use the usb disk creator. [15:10] I'm not on Unbuntu :) [15:22] i don't know then. can you use a cd burner software + a cd? [15:23] no [15:24] 1 more try and then i'll go with debian :P [15:40] Xubuntu uses same installr as Ubuntu, right? [15:41] yes [15:45] Do I really have to install Ubuntu or Windows to create bootable Xubuntu pen drive :P ? [15:46] nope [15:47] If you have xubuntu installed, just install unetbootin or usb-creator and use them [15:47] gynter: you can buy one from on-disk.com ;-) [15:47] I have debian [15:47] And using Unetbootin didn't work [15:47] hm, maybe ask in #debian if there is such a channel, how to do it in Debian? [15:50] Hm, k never mind, I'll just install debian with xfce then :) [16:54] !info blueman [16:54] blueman (source: blueman): A Graphical bluetooth manager. In component universe, is optional.
