[02:38] <rebeltaz> I am trying to find a Linux OS that can run on a 400Mhz laptop with 256mb RAM and is able to run Banshee. I tried DSL, but it's repositories were no longer available and I could not get banshee to compile from source. What are the requirements for xbuntu and will it run on the system I need it to run on?
[02:39] <knome> rebeltaz, you might be able to pull it off with your system
[02:39] <rebeltaz> I assume that xubuntu uses less resources than ubuntu? I tried ubuntu, but it was just to slow.
[02:40] <knome> yes, a bit at least
[02:40] <knome> it's really all about the application choices
[02:40] <knome> well, a big part of it is
[02:40] <rebeltaz> I'll remove as much as possible once it's installed ... can't hurt to try I guess
[02:40] <knome> btw, we're using gmusicbrowser as our default player in xubuntu, have you tried that?
[02:41] <knome> there's also the minimal cd
[02:41] <knome> !minimal
[02:41] <knome> with minimal, you can install those exact packages you want, nothing else
[02:41] <rebeltaz> I'll take a look at gmusicbrowser right now and the minimal cd sounds perfect!
[02:42] <knome> xubuntu is using the shimmer layout in gmb: http://shimmerproject.org/project/gmusicbrowser/
[02:42] <knome> but the layout is actually completely customisable...
[02:44] <rebeltaz> gmb does random? will it do random playing only the songs that are unheard? will it play songs over a networked drive?
[02:45] <knome> yes, you can set the playmode to random and add whatever filters you like
[02:45] <rebeltaz> cool.. thanks. I'll try this tonight.
[02:45] <knome> over networked drive shouldn't be a problem either :)
[02:48] <rebeltaz> i see the download for the alternate.. how do I get the minimal?
[02:48] <rebeltaz> of 10.04lts
[02:49] <knome> 32 i suppose? ;)
[02:49] <knome> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso <- right here
[02:49] <ochosi> rebeltaz: about your gmusicbrowser-questions: yes, it does shuffle and various weighted random modes. you can also combine that with a filter to only hear unheard songs. and over a networked drive yes, if it's something you mount normally (e.g. no daap-client)
[02:50] <rebeltaz> wow what a link!
[02:50] <rebeltaz> thank you ochosi
[02:50] <ochosi> rebeltaz: np, if you need help with gmusicbrowser feel free to ping me later (if i'm available)
[02:51] <knome> me too, same if-clause
[02:51] <knome> ;)
[02:51] <rebeltaz> ;-D .... thanks guys - off to screw up... I mean fix... a computer.
[03:22] <rebeltaz> so... I get to Downloading Release Information (I think is what it says) and then that box goes away and it just sits there...
[03:33] <rebeltaz> I downloaded and ran 10.04 minimum install. I get through the detection of the wireless card, give it the details, give the computer a name and select the mirror. it says that it is downloading "Release Information?" and then that box goes away and that is where it stays. Please help!  ;(
 I'm following the notes that someone had to set up their tablet in Ubuntu, but I think XFCE will have better performance for this old thing so:
 http://andynaz.altervista.org/immagini/ubuntu_tecnologie_assistive.png
 "For this go to System → Preferences → Assistive Technologies and check the option "Windows passwords as normal windows"."
 Is there a similar gksudo/gksu preference in xfce?
[03:40] <knome> orngjce223, please do not flood the channel
[03:40] <orngjce223> Huh. I remember "flood" being more than four lines
[03:40]  * orngjce223 finds rules again
[03:41] <knome> rebeltaz, did you try the main mirror?
[03:41] <orngjce223> Sorry
[03:42] <rebeltaz> actually, I guess it just took a while (like ten minutes!)... while I was waiting it came back up and continued...
[03:42] <knome> orngjce223, what is that setting supposed to do?
[03:42] <knome> orngjce223, there isn't anything about passwrods in the accessibility settings in xfce
[03:42] <orngjce223> It's supposed to turn all gksudo and gksu calls into windows that /don't/ grab the entire screen
[03:43] <orngjce223> So one can use the onscreen keyboard or similar program to enter the proper password
[03:43] <knome> orngjce223, right, gksudo will not be fullscreen in xubuntu
[03:46] <orngjce223> Huh
[03:47] <orngjce223> Synaptic grabs the entire screen when you put in the password though I'm not sure what /that/ call is
[03:47] <knome> that's something else
[03:48] <knome> hmm
[03:48] <knome> actually
[03:48] <knome> it looks like when running from GUI it DOES go fullscreen
[03:49] <knome> i think you can do an alias from 'gksudo' to 'gksudo -g'
[03:49] <knome> with the -g option, it won't go to fullscreen
[03:51] <orngjce223> Okay
[03:51] <orngjce223> Thanks. I think.
[03:53] <orngjce223> I'll probably just stick around in here though, ubuntustudio is probably going to start running on xfce so I should probably be learning more by osmosis
[03:55] <knome> feel free to
[04:00] <knome> got to go to bed now. see you later everybody!
[06:07] <foresto> Hi, all.  I just installed xubuntu natty, and the gdm theme (xubuntu-gdm-theme) has somehow stopped showing up.  The background is black instead of showing xubuntu-greybird.png, and the panel bar is light gray with what must be a default button instead of showing the red/orange button with the power icon on it.  I wonder if someone here can help me figure out why.
[06:08] <foresto> Just to make sure I'm sane, I installed it again in a vm, and the gdm theme looks fine there.
[08:44] <Muhammad-Tahir> hi
[08:44] <Muhammad-Tahir> got some problem
[09:56] <foresto> help /quit
[11:28] <jarnos> How do you change panel's theme? Changing window manager style does not have an effect in it.
[11:28] <knome> jarnos, no, it's in the gtk theme (settings->appearance)
[11:39] <jarnos> knome, I can't set panel in 3D style in xfce 4.8. Windows-buttons seem to be flat no matter what I do.
[11:40] <knome> that might be some murrine issue
[11:43] <jarnos> knome, I don't understand. What is murrine?
[11:43] <knome> jarnos, murrine is the gtk engine
[11:51] <jarnos> knome, at least you can get some panel features visible by changing panel's Alpha towards zero.
[11:52] <knome> mm.
[11:53] <jarnos> knome, such as Notification area's frame and Window Buttons' handle (if set).
[11:56] <jarnos> Is Session Menu logout supposed to save session or does it follow setting of Action Buttons?
[12:00]  * jarnos likes Gorilla style for the window manager
[12:02] <Mandrew> hello is there any were i can get my hands on some rat icons to replace the "original" rat on the man
[12:02] <Mandrew> menu
[12:03] <Mandrew> and maybe for the splash screen wold be nice
[12:03] <elros> where are the default config files for xfce4 panel?
[12:04] <elros> found it
[12:04] <jarnos> Mandrew, just choose the icon you like in Application Menu's properties.
[12:05] <Mandrew> jarnos, i havent found one that i like yet :S
[12:20] <Mandrew> !xubuntu
[12:20] <Mandrew> !Xubuntu-Channels
[12:22] <elros> !GNOME
[13:37] <jarnos> I can not enter my home directory in Thunar in 11.04; an error dialog is shown: Error stating file '/home/jarno/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected.
[13:46] <elros> I got that a few days ago
[13:46] <elros> try rebooting
[13:52] <Muhammad-Tahir> hi
[13:52] <Muhammad-Tahir> got a problem :(
[16:17]  * jarnos noticed Gorilla style takes unneccessary space in small screen, so Daloa will do.
