| []9876098[] | Is the graphical partitioning tool in the installed in version 6.06 a full-fledged partitioning tool, or do I need to use something else to prepare my partitions for installation? | 02:34 |
|---|---|---|
| []9876098[] | Whoops, installed should be installer; that was a typo | 02:35 |
| charlie-tca | um, 6.06 is real old, and not supported any longer | 02:36 |
| charlie-tca | I can't remember, but it should have the standard partitioning tool | 02:37 |
| charlie-tca | []9876098[]: I would highly recommend doing a fresh installation with a supported version | 02:39 |
| []9876098[] | I would use a later version, but my computer's over a decade old. | 02:39 |
| []9876098[] | So the partitioning tool supports pretty much any operation I would need to do- moving, resizing, and formatting? | 02:42 |
| charlie-tca | it should | 02:42 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know how reliable it is now | 02:43 |
| charlie-tca | I use Xubuntu 10.04 on my old computer, from the late 90's | 02:43 |
| charlie-tca | p4, 1.5Ghz, with a whole 1gb of ram now that I upgraded it from 256mb | 02:44 |
| charlie-tca | still has a couple of ISA slots | 02:44 |
| Unit193 | I run an *ubuntu on my 500MHz with 512M ram (some of that is taken for video) | 02:44 |
| []9876098[] | Mine is a Pentium III with 600mHz processor and 288MB RAM. I'm kind of worried that it would run sluggishly; that's why I'm considering installing an old version. | 02:46 |
| charlie-tca | sounds like a candidate to try Lubuntu instead | 02:47 |
| charlie-tca | !lubuntu | 02:47 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 02:47 |
| charlie-tca | It would be very slow with a current Xubuntu version | 02:47 |
| []9876098[] | Thanks, I'll check out Lubuntu and see if that would work. | 02:49 |
| raginkestrel | Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut to lock the screen on xscreensaver? | 03:25 |

| Mandrew | good morning | 07:55 |
| Mandrew | what do i need to install to get global menu working in xubuntu? | 07:55 |
| ochosi | Mandrew: i guess you'd need the gnome2globalmenu-plugin | 08:04 |
| ochosi | i read somewhere recently that it works again with xfce | 08:04 |
| ochosi | (v. 0.7.9 broke xfce-panel support) | 08:04 |
| Mandrew | ok so i dont need to install gnome panel then? | 08:05 |
| ochosi | nope, theoretically it should work with the globalmenu-plugin | 08:06 |
| ochosi | but you have to find a place to get packages | 08:07 |
| ochosi | think the ppa is rather outdated | 08:07 |
| ochosi | (i guess you'd need v. 0.7.10) | 08:07 |
| ochosi | alternatively you could try v. 0.7.8, that once worked for me, but not with all apps, so i dropped it again | 08:07 |
| Mandrew | ok | 08:08 |
| Mandrew | so maybe its better for me to drop xubuntu and try to mod ubuntu to work on my netbook :S | 08:09 |
| Mandrew | i dislike unity strongly thats why i want to get this working | 08:09 |
| ochosi | suit yourself | 08:10 |
| Mandrew | im really torn here :( | 08:11 |
| ochosi | why is the globalmenu so crucial? | 08:12 |
| Mandrew | it helps me use as much screen property as i can on my netbook | 08:13 |
| ochosi | dunno, you could just as well use a 1px theme for xfwm4 and use keyboard shortcuts to close, resize and minimize windows | 08:14 |
| Mandrew | instead you having one panel on the top and two on a active window ill inly have one | 08:14 |
| ochosi | that gives you approx as much space as the menubar takes | 08:14 |
| Mandrew | could be something | 08:14 |
| ochosi | you can move the panel to the left, set it to show icons only for open windows | 08:14 |
| ochosi | you don't need a top panel imo | 08:15 |
| Mandrew | ok i give that a go | 08:16 |
| ochosi | it's definitely easier/quicker to try that than to switch to unity ;) | 08:16 |
| Mandrew | i would use the desktop version and purge unity | 08:18 |
| Mandrew | the desktop version already have gnome menu installed | 08:18 |
| Mandrew | but i wanted something bit lighter then gnome and was hoping i could get everything working in xubuntu | 08:19 |
| Mandrew | and there is a lot of stuff that is preinstalled that i really like with xubuntu too | 08:20 |
| Sysi | ochosi: does that plugin ned to be used through xfapplet? or is it indicator or something | 10:43 |
| ochosi | Sysi: it's a native plugin for the xfce-panel iirc | 11:44 |

| aroeland | Hello, can I ask questions about installing Xubuntu here? | 13:25 |
| knome | let me think.. this is the xubuntu support channel... yes | 13:26 |

| aroeland | I have a question about setting up LDAP. | 13:26 |
| aroeland | I've been using a guide on the internet to set up the LDAP client, and it worked fine on Debian. When I try this on Xubuntu though it is not working. After installing libnss-ldap I get an error message. | 13:29 |
| aroeland | The message is: update-rc.d: warning: libnss-ldap start runlevel arguments (2 3 4 5) do not match LSB Default-Start values (none) | 13:32 |

| TheSheep | Lovehappens: I usually use the google video chat | 14:26 |
| Lovehappens | Kopete and empathy r not working | 14:26 |
| TheSheep | Lovehappens: but of course it's not for yahoo | 14:26 |
| TheSheep | Lovehappens: I think their protocol is closed so it's hard to write a client that could use it | 14:27 |
| TheSheep | Lovehappens: I might be wrong though | 14:27 |
| Lovehappens | where should i look for help ? | 14:28 |
| Lovehappens | i went in #ubuntu | 14:28 |
| Lovehappens | but they did not :( | 14:28 |
| TheSheep | yahoo support might know something... | 14:28 |
| Lovehappens | i m on ubuntu | 14:29 |
| TheSheep | so? | 14:29 |
| Lovehappens | yahoo does not supports linux does they ? | 14:29 |
| TheSheep | no idea, you can always ask | 14:29 |
| TheSheep | and demand that they do | 14:29 |
| TheSheep | if enough people will, maybe they will think about it | 14:30 |
| Lovehappens | they should do it | 14:30 |
| TheSheep | agereed | 14:30 |
| Lovehappens | but it seems they r blind | 14:30 |
| TheSheep | well, ask them | 14:30 |
| Lovehappens | hmmmm | 14:31 |
| Lovehappens | i ll | 14:31 |
| TheSheep | and maybe they already have something | 14:31 |
| TheSheep | or they started something and will let you in on a beta | 14:31 |
| Lovehappens | but right now i m concerned with my webcam problem | 14:31 |
| TheSheep | does it work in cheeze? | 14:31 |
| Lovehappens | yes it does | 14:31 |
| Lovehappens | perfectly | 14:31 |
| Lovehappens | even in skype | 14:31 |
| Lovehappens | but in yahoo it does not :( | 14:32 |
| TheSheep | apparently pidgin doesn't support it | 14:32 |
| Lovehappens | yes u r right | 14:32 |
| Lovehappens | !yahoo | 14:33 |

| ubottu | Lovehappens: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:36 |
| charlie-tca | hm, yahoo won't support linux, but you expect linux to be able to support Yahoo? | 14:36 |
| charlie-tca | ubottu is a robot, it is not a person | 14:37 |
| Lovehappens | i know that | 14:37 |
| Lovehappens | yes i would love that if linux supports that awfull software too | 14:37 |
| charlie-tca | Then perhaps messgeing it in private would be better | 14:37 |
| Lovehappens | but yahoo should do that | 14:37 |
| charlie-tca | Then please ask yahoo for help with it. That will at least make them aware that you need it. | 14:38 |
| Lovehappens | i ll ask them | 14:38 |
| Lovehappens | but as i allready said right now i m looking for an alternative for yahoo on linux | 14:38 |
| Lovehappens | can u help me in this regards ? | 14:39 |
| charlie-tca | Doesn't seem to be one that works | 14:39 |
| charlie-tca | If yahoo won't allow anyone to see what the code is, it is very hard to do anything to make it work. | 14:39 |
| Lovehappens | i do agree with you | 14:40 |
| Lovehappens | but there might be an alternative software for that is nt it ? | 14:40 |
| charlie-tca | no | 14:41 |
| Lovehappens | :( | 14:41 |
| charlie-tca | empathy, pidgin, xchat doesn't use voice and cam, what is left? | 14:41 |
| charlie-tca | Your choices are a little limited by what you want. It must use webcam for picture and voice. There really aren't a lot of choices, then | 14:42 |
| Lovehappens | in empathy they r not working | 14:43 |
| Lovehappens | m i missing some plugins ? | 14:43 |
| charlie-tca | and how would I know that? I don't even have a webcam | 14:43 |
| Lovehappens | where should i look for help for that any ideas ? | 14:44 |
| charlie-tca | I would try #ubuntu, where there are many more users than here | 14:44 |
| Lovehappens | there are | 14:44 |
| Lovehappens | but they did not helped | 14:45 |
| Lovehappens | let me try again | 14:45 |

| derp | Hm... | 17:21 |
| noip | Does xubuntu let you install codecs during install? | 17:38 |
| GridCube | nope | 17:43 |
| GridCube | i don't think so | 17:43 |
| noip | Thanks. | 17:43 |
| GridCube | noip: wait do you mean to listen to music while you install and stuff? | 17:45 |
| GridCube | then you can install them temporarly and then again once the installation ends on the installed system | 17:46 |
| noip | To be specific, I'm referring to the new option in Natty to let people install optional codecs during the installation process. Does xubuntu have that same option? | 17:46 |
| GridCube | i do not know, charlie-tca might know tho | 17:46 |
| noip | I know one can install the codecs after installation of the OS, but I was wondering if xubuntu had that same option made available during installation. | 17:47 |
| noip | I'm watching a video on youtube that covers the install of xubuntu to find out. | 17:47 |
| GridCube | :) | 17:48 |
| GridCube | i usually install it whit the alternate cd so i don't know of fancy things :P | 17:48 |
| noip | GridCube, A lot of these distro reviews on youtube aren't very good. | 17:48 |
| GridCube | oh, we need people to make them :P you could make one if you want | 17:49 |
| GridCube | :D | 17:49 |
| noip | I plan to start making some at some point. I'm going to do it differently than the way these video are done. | 17:50 |
| GridCube | :D | 17:51 |
| noip | Well, I didn't see the option to install codecs. So, I guess it's not included during the install. | 17:52 |
| GridCube | i have never heard of such option, but then again i just install xubu :P | 17:54 |
| noip | GridCube, it's a very convenient option now included in ubuntu 11.04. Makes installing codecs super easy. | 17:56 |
| GridCube | :) i guess it should | 18:00 |

| trudy | ok, sorry | 19:34 |
| aatk | Don't need to be sorry, just a friendly tip | 19:34 |
| trudy | i have xubuntu11.04. the update manager did updates last night. Now the pc wont boot, unless i go to previous version of xubuntu in grub menu | 19:34 |
| trudy | suggestions please? | 19:35 |
| aatk | any error messages? | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | boot in recovery mode from the grub menu, when the recovery menu comes up, choose fix files | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | when it finishes, restart the computer | 19:36 |
| trudy | nothing, just blank screen... when i switch the pc on, i get the usual post, then blank screen, then hard drive activity stops and it just sits there till i hit reset | 19:36 |
| trudy | tried that charlie....still wont boot after restart. | 19:37 |
| charlie-tca | the blank screen is before the grub menu? | 19:37 |
| trudy | no, its after the cursor dissappears and xubuntu starts to load but stops after about 5 seconds | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | let it sit for about 5 minutes, and see if it does stop or it continues | 19:38 |
| trudy | did that...well, went to make a coffee and came back to the blank screen | 19:39 |
| charlie-tca | also, edit grub menu using a one time edit to remove quiet splash, ctrl x to boot and see if there are any error messages when it stops | 19:39 |
| trudy | ok.....i will defo try this....im new to linux command prompt stuff but ok with gui stuff. | 19:40 |
| trudy | thanks for help | 19:40 |
| charlie-tca | at the grub menu, hit e to edit the line, cursor down to the line with 'quiet splash' at the end, remove them, and hit ctrl X to boot | 19:40 |
| trudy | ok.....i'll go do that now.....thanks loads | 19:41 |
| charlie-tca | then we need to know the exact error it gives when it quits | 19:41 |

| vieq__ | Hello, one question is xubuntu produced by Canonical like Ubuntu and kUbuntu or Not? | 22:04 |
| GridCube | :S | 22:04 |
| GridCube | _D | 22:04 |
| GridCube | gods | 22:04 |
| GridCube | :D | 22:04 |
| GridCube | yep canonical | 22:04 |
| vieq__ | darn. | 22:05 |
| Unit193 | vieq__: What do you mean by "produced"? | 22:05 |
| vieq__ | thanks any way. | 22:05 |
| vieq__ | Unit193: well, I was reading this http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/130006/#p130006 | 22:05 |
| Unit193 | Xubuntu is made by the Xubuntu devs and they use feedback from the community. As I know it, Canonical doesn't "make" it, Xubuntu just uses the ISO build system and Ubuntu as the base | 22:09 |
| GridCube | yes i think thats about the same | 22:09 |
| GridCube | xubuntu people do stuff changing the canonical stuff and adding their own | 22:10 |
| beardygnome | not exactly | 22:10 |
| beardygnome | canonical produce ubuntu | 22:10 |
| beardygnome | which is a base system + apps + unity | 22:10 |
| Unit193 | Canonical sponsers/gives money to Ubuntu the community | 22:11 |
| beardygnome | the xubuntu devs take the base system, add apps (some the same, some different) and adds the xfce desktop | 22:11 |
| beardygnome | is anyone else getting everything twice here? | 22:11 |
| vieq__ | beardygnome: kinda | 22:13 |
| charlie-tca | you get two lines the same each line? | 22:14 |
| vieq__ | but at least I got the whole picture | 22:14 |
| beardygnome | charlie-tca: yes | 22:14 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 22:14 |
| charlie-tca | weechat | 22:14 |
| vieq__ | so that makes xubuntu a better ubuntu+de | 22:14 |
| vieq__ | ? | 22:15 |
| beardygnome | vieq__: depends how you define "better" | 22:15 |
| beardygnome | i find it is more suited to how i want to use my pc than ubuntu | 22:15 |
| vieq__ | beardygnome: well, functionality out of the box instead of instant breakages | 22:15 |
| vieq__ | how about that? | 22:15 |
| beardygnome | i've never had a problem using either straight out of the box to be honest | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca | beardygnome: what chat client | 22:15 |
| beardygnome | charlie-tca: empathy | 22:16 |
| charlie-tca | o-o-o-h-h | 22:16 |
| vieq__ | to sum it all both xubuntu & ubuntu have the same base? | 22:16 |
| beardygnome | it only happens in this room, not in xubuntu-dev / -offtopic | 22:16 |
| charlie-tca | weird | 22:16 |
| charlie-tca | some kind of echo turned on here? | 22:16 |
| beardygnome | vieq__: yes, they use the same base | 22:17 |
| vieq__ | I haz no idea of what you guys are complaining about. | 22:17 |
| vieq__ | beardygnome: very well then. | 22:17 |
| beardygnome | charlie-tca: i'll trying leaving and coming back in | 22:17 |
| charlie-tca | okay, you made | 22:17 |
| charlie-tca | it | 22:17 |
| charlie-tca | ooops | 22:17 |
| beardygnome | that seems to have fixed it | 22:17 |
| charlie-tca | that was three lines | 22:18 |
| charlie-tca | vieq__: Ubuntu builds first, then Xubuntu takes what they have, removes some stuff, adds other stuff, and keeps some stuff | 22:18 |
| beardygnome | vieq__: are you running a linux distro atm? | 22:19 |
| charlie-tca | (simply put, anyway) | 22:19 |
| vieq__ | charlie-tca: I like the idea of defining every anonymous thing as *stuff* :D | 22:19 |
| vieq__ | beardygnome: yes. | 22:19 |
| charlie-tca | it's all open for you to examine, if you want to | 22:19 |
| beardygnome | what are running? | 22:19 |
| vieq__ | currently Fuduntu which as it's author describes Fedora + Ubuntu's Idea *sigh* | 22:20 |
| vieq__ | I was bored and I was like ... what the hell...know that kinda attitude? | 22:20 |
| vieq__ | on a usual day I am running OpenBSD so .... :) | 22:20 |
| charlie-tca | vieq__: here is the latest build, showing what we removed and what we added, if you really want to know: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/cd-build-logs/xubuntu/oneiric/daily-live-20110715.log | 22:21 |
| vieq__ | last time I used Ubuntu was like 7.10 I think. | 22:21 |
| vieq__ | checking.. | 22:21 |
| beardygnome | i've not seen fuduntu, so i can't comment on how different / similar it would be to xubuntu | 22:21 |
| beardygnome | what de does it use? | 22:22 |
| vieq__ | it's basically Fedora (Gnome 2.x) plus AWN and Ailurus | 22:23 |
| vieq__ | that's all! | 22:23 |
| vieq__ | currently it's using Fedora14 as base and adds some stuff to it via fuduntu repo | 22:23 |
| beardygnome | interesting | 22:23 |
| beardygnome | so what ideas does it take from ubuntu? | 22:24 |
| vieq__ | not exactly D:, I can tell you the pros and cons if you like. | 22:24 |
| vieq__ | simplicity and ready-ness for the use. | 22:24 |
| vieq__ | mostly selective choice of apps and that's all | 22:24 |
| vieq__ | for instance he choose Ailurus to manage most of the quirks a user might do with a fresh install on the run. | 22:25 |
| beardygnome | so he's aiming for an rpm-based distro for new linux users? | 22:25 |
| vieq__ | he used Jupiter app, which is supposed to give you multiple choice for running modes when you haz fuduntu on a laptop | 22:26 |
| vieq__ | beardygnome: yub | 22:26 |
| vieq__ | charlie-tca: that's a darn LONG log. | 22:26 |
| GridCube | thats what... nevermind | 22:27 |
| vieq__ | GridCube: if you're commenting on my English-FU then my friend you made an excellent choice by not continuing to. | 22:28 |
| vieq__ | I am not a native English speaker :) | 22:28 |
| GridCube | (it was actually a very unapropiated joke) | 22:29 |
| vieq__ | GridCube: ah, unfortunately I would not be able to stay much longer to talk more about it. | 22:30 |
| vieq__ | it's time to blackout!, sorry heh.....have a sleep | 22:30 |
| GridCube | and im a spañis speaker myself :P | 22:30 |
| vieq__ | Good night every one and thanks all. | 22:30 |
| GridCube | spañish | 22:30 |
| beardygnome | good night vieq__ | 22:30 |
| charlie-tca | vieq__: that's why I didn't try to give all the details, I said simply put, we add and remove "stuff" | 22:30 |
| vieq__ | how do you say good night in Spanish? | 22:30 |
| vieq__ | charlie-tca: I am illuminated now :D | 22:31 |
| charlie-tca | Come back anytime | 22:31 |
| vieq__ | sure thing. | 22:31 |
| vieq__ | laterz all | 22:31 |
| anna | Hi, I am running Xubuntu 11.04 on a IBM T42. I am a total linux noob (first day on Linux). When I leave the laptop unattended, the screen becomes black and I cannot get it back to normal. What should I do? Thanks | 22:43 |
| charlie-tca | moving mouse, hitting space, nothing will work? | 22:44 |
| GridCube | maybe pressing the power button once? | 22:44 |
| charlie-tca | go to Menu -> Settings -> power manager, check what it is set for | 22:45 |
| anna | yes, i tried all of the above but the screen seems locked | 22:45 |
| charlie-tca | Most likely it suspends in about 15 minutes | 22:45 |
| charlie-tca | and not all computers can handle that. | 22:45 |
| anna | ok, that sounds like that might be the problem. | 22:45 |
| anna | My hard-core Linux hubbie sent me here to try to figure this out on my own. (I suspect he knows that that is the real problem:)) | 22:46 |
| charlie-tca | just open power manager, change it to never suspend/hibernate | 22:47 |
| anna | I changed power manager to suspend "never" | 22:47 |
| charlie-tca | That will probably fix it | 22:47 |
| GridCube | :) that should do it | 22:47 |
| anna | ok, thats what I did. Thanks! | 22:47 |
| anna | I hope that fixes the problem. | 22:48 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 22:48 |
| anna | I much appreciate the input. | 22:48 |
| anna | thank you and good bye! | 22:49 |
