[00:01] <Jaded> used that
[00:01] <Jaded> sorry rotura, you'll probably have to make a thread on ubuntuforums
[00:01] <rotura> Thanks Jaded :-)
[00:02] <Jaded> I'm not sure if it's the 3d acceleration or not, but xubuntu is def a lot snappier now.
[00:02] <Jaded> i think what helped was opening nvidia x server settings, and setting up my monitor and then creating a xorg.conf file from that
[00:02] <Jaded> all through the nvidia GUI
[00:25] <Jaded> Sysi.
[00:25] <Jaded> I'm about to try LXDE :)

[02:53] <draioch> used a linux format mag distro of latest xubuntu and choose retain folers files option, dual boot option comes up when i opt for me original xubuntu is can see files with ls in terminal but how do i copy them to usb drive
[02:55] <GridCube> you cant see the folder using thunar?
[02:56] <GridCube> or you dont have X?
[02:57] <GridCube> anyway use sudo apt-get install mc              and then run mc on a terminal and its pretty explainatory, on one side go to the /media/usbdrivename and on the other side to the folder you want to copy, then copy from one pane to the other

[02:58] <draioch> wait sys restart gonna reboot

[07:15] <Wizard> good morning everybody
[16:48] <pteague_work> any idea why X would be eating up 40-45% cpu on a consistent basis?
[16:50] <Sysi> pteague_work: problem with some application or driver
[16:50] <pteague_work> intel video card \o/
[17:13] <charlie-tca> pteague_work: firefox?
[17:13] <charlie-tca> It has been known to do stupid things to cpus and memory
[17:14] <charlie-tca> but it could be a panel plugin doing it too.
[20:25] <pteague_work> sorry, ended up in a meeting & i can't seem to get xchat to continue blinking for more than a couple seconds :(
[20:26] <pteague_work> charlie-tca, i'm running both firefox & netbeans & i my work issued laptop is a single-core cpu >.<
[23:42] <mattman> anyone out there that wants to help me with ndiswrapper?
[23:46] <GridCube> !ask | mattman55
[23:52] <mattman55> Ok, I use a dlink dwl-650+ wireless card. I have used ndiswrapper before to install the drivers from WinXP using ndisgtk on ubuntu 10.04. now i am using xubuntu 10.04. when I run lshw -C network I get a *-network UNCLAIMED. i seem to remember getting this issue before. as a pointout, it does say that it is ACX100 Wireless interface, but I have tried the acx100 drivers already. also, when i try iwconfig, wlan0 does not show up, just lo and eth0. Thanks
[23:52] <mattman55> in advance for any help.
