| sunredsky | hello | 05:05 |
|---|---|---|
| sunredsky | I'm trying to install xubuntu on an old Dell with 128Mb Ram. Its not going well... | 05:08 |
| Unit193 | I wouldn't think it would go well... | 05:09 |
| sunredsky | Why not? | 05:09 |
| Unit193 | What's the CPU like though? | 05:09 |
| sunredsky | PIII 900MHz | 05:09 |
| Unit193 | You are using the AltCD, right? | 05:09 |
| sunredsky | Yes | 05:09 |
| sunredsky | Changed Bios to boot from CD and try to install and just get the xubuntu logo for a long time | 05:10 |
| sunredsky | Then the system locks up and I cant do anything but reboot | 05:10 |
| sunredsky | By AltCD, you mean the iso? | 05:12 |
| Unit193 | Alternate CD, not LiveCD | 05:12 |
| sunredsky | Hmmm, don't know the difference. | 05:12 |
| Unit193 | Xubuntu can't exactly run on 128, I would recommend maybe checking out Lubuntu or something smaller like that. | 05:13 |
| sunredsky | The docs say it will run on 128. Am I doing something wrong? By the way I forgot to mention that Windows ME is already installed on the system. Do I need to uninstall first? | 05:15 |
| Unit193 | You wouldn't need to uninstall ME first. Would you mind pointing me where it says that in the docs? As it says here http://www.xubuntu.org/get that you would need 256 for minimum | 05:17 |
| sunredsky | Maybe I misread it. Sorry. I'm just trying to get a machine running that I can learn about linux and bash. Command line is fine, I don't need much. Will lubuntu do the trick? | 05:21 |
| Unit193 | I don't mean to sound harsh, but this is the Xubuntu support channel so I'll direct you to #lubuntu and give you https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu (Says on the page 128 would be slow, but usable) | 05:25 |
| Unit193 | I've personally run it on 512M and 500MHz :P | 05:25 |
| sunredsky | No, I understand - you're right. Thanks for the help. | 05:25 |
| Unit193 | Sorry that Xubuntu won't work for you, it's great though :D | 05:26 |
| sunredsky | I'm off to find a distro that I can run on a 128 machine... | 05:26 |
| Unit193 | distrowatch too :D | 05:26 |

| aLeSD | hi all | 07:48 |
| aLeSD | I am thinking in returning back to Xubuntu | 07:48 |
| aLeSD | but I hav a question : I am developing in Qt | 07:49 |
| aLeSD | is it ok ? | 07:49 |
| aLeSD | and is Xubuntu really faster than (K)Ubuntu ? | 07:49 |
| aLeSD | I am on an Atom | 07:49 |
| ulas | nothing to discuss ? :) | 08:07 |
| Sysi | aLeSD: xubuntu uses a bit less RAM | 08:24 |
| aLeSD | Sysi: no problem of ram here | 08:25 |
| aLeSD | only need fastness | 08:25 |
| Sysi | about Qt, you can do it as well as on any *buntu | 08:25 |
| Sysi | xubuntu may feel a bit snappier than unity/kde | 08:25 |

| charlie-tca | Yes, you can | 13:25 |
| charlie-tca | First time installing Xubuntu? | 13:25 |
| xubuntu848 | yep, i tried ubuntu before, but the "unity" desktop is not good in my opinion :/ | 13:26 |
| xubuntu848 | then i tried kubuntu, but it stops suddenly, only restart possible | 13:27 |
| xubuntu848 | and now xubuntu | 13:27 |
| anton_uno | hello | 14:32 |
| anton_uno | I have usb sound card and can't setup it. It only works in VLC because there is a choice of output device. | 14:38 |
| Sysi | install pavucontrol | 14:43 |
| anton_uno | <Sysi> it works, thanks | 14:53 |
| Sysi | !yay | 14:53 |
| ubottu | Glad you made it! :-) | 14:53 |

| stephan | hey i have installed a panel plugin via ./configure, make, sudo make install. but i can't choose the new plugin in the panel. how can i add the new plugin? | 17:29 |
| TheSheep | stephan: you should use the packages provided by the package manager | 17:40 |
| stephan | TheSheep: but i want a plugin that i cant find in there | 17:42 |
| TheSheep | stephan: which plugin is that? | 17:43 |
| stephan | TheSheep:xfce4-generic-slider | 17:44 |
| stephan | TheSheep: is there a reason why the ./configure, make, sudo make install commands are not working? | 17:45 |
| TheSheep | stephan: as that page says, you need to change the path where the plugin goes | 17:46 |
| TheSheep | instead of /usr/lib/xfce4/xfce4/panel-plugins it's /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins in xubuntu | 17:46 |
| TheSheep | and instead of /usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins it's /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins | 17:47 |
| TheSheep | or so it seems | 17:48 |
| TheSheep | (I'm guessing from the paths on my own system) | 17:48 |
| stephan | oh ok | 17:49 |
| TheSheep | you need to edit Makefile for that, as the author wrote | 17:50 |
| stephan | jap, thank you. | 17:51 |

| kiichiro | hey where would I find the drivers on my xubuntu and will they work with windows xp? | 20:19 |
| Sysi | no chance | 20:20 |
| Sysi | for the second and that makes first not needed I guess | 20:21 |
| TheSheep | kiichiro: xubuntu has all the drivers that work with it included already, and they won't work with windows | 20:21 |
| kiichiro | ah great now I got to go find a stupid on board nic driver, | 20:21 |
| kiichiro | you know they really should find a way to make it not need one, maybe have a ROM chip storing the info on it? | 20:22 |
| TheSheep | you can just use xubuntu instead | 20:22 |
| kiichiro | no since it doesn't support silverlight which I need for my online class | 20:22 |
| kiichiro | and mozilla doesn't want to accept moonlight | 20:23 |
| TheSheep | kiichiro: ehem, http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight | 20:23 |
| Sysi | if you gat1GB ram, I recommend win7 instead of XP | 20:23 |
| Sysi | *got 1GB | 20:23 |
| TheSheep | kiichiro: what does that have to do with mozilla? | 20:23 |
| kiichiro | I don't have 7 and I've had the xp disc for awhile that's why I'm not upgrading, | 20:23 |
| TheSheep | also, try ##windows for windows support | 20:24 |
| kiichiro | gotcha, well they won't be able to help me on my linux based questions like where to find stuff etc, I know xp well | 20:25 |
| Sysi | lspci tells what hardware you got | 20:25 |
| kiichiro | mkay thanks, hate taking the computers apart just to plug a nic in for 60 seconds and have to put it back in the orignal computer and blah blah blah | 20:26 |
| andres-kain | hello all, you must get this question alot. How do I change the login screen? | 20:53 |
| andres-kain | the image only really | 20:55 |
| hat1 | hey all. is there a way to disable tap-to-click in xubuntu natty, without mucking about in config files? | 20:56 |
| TheSheep | yes | 20:57 |
| hat1 | fantastic. you've been a big help. | 20:57 |
| hat1 | what is it? | 20:57 |
| TheSheep | !info gpointing-device-settings | 20:58 |
| ubottu | gpointing-device-settings (source: gpointing-device-settings): configuration tool for pointing devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.1-4 (natty), package size 58 kB, installed size 584 kB | 20:58 |
| TheSheep | just install and use that | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | andres-kain: TBH, I think you are the second person I have seen wanting to do that | 20:58 |
| hat1 | thank you. you've been an even bigger help now. | 20:58 |
| TheSheep | sorry for the delay, I had to find the exact name | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | !gdm | 20:59 |
| hat1 | no worries, of course. | 20:59 |
| charlie-tca | andres-kain: and, I don't know if it is possible | 20:59 |
| andres-kain | charlie-tca: !gdm ? | 21:00 |
| andres-kain | is gdm some sort of program I need to install? | 21:00 |
| charlie-tca | gdm is what creates the login | 21:00 |
| charlie-tca | so, to change the login screen, you change something in gdm | 21:01 |
| andres-kain | I see... it is some sort of xml file? | 21:01 |
| TheSheep | http://maketecheasier.com/gdm2-setup-reclaim-control-of-your-login-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/20 | 21:02 |
| TheSheep | (I didn't test that myself) | 21:02 |
| andres-kain | thank you! | 21:02 |
| andres-kain | I'have seen the same link in a diferent ircchannel so must be on the right track | 21:03 |

| num8er | please help | 21:44 |

| num8er | put after restart | 21:45 |
| num8er | it says "No Screen" | 21:46 |
| Sysi | you propably have nvidia optimus system, that doesn't work in linux | 21:46 |
| num8er | yes | 21:46 |
| num8er | it's optimus | 21:46 |
| num8er | but why doesn't? | 21:46 |
| Sysi | because nvidia doesn't want to support it on linux, there are some projects for making it work but not anything really stable | 21:48 |
| num8er | ok | 21:48 |
| num8er | what is bumblebee | 21:48 |
| num8er | ? | 21:48 |
| Sysi | project to make nvidia optimus work on linux | 21:49 |
| num8er | so cn' you help me with installing | 21:49 |

| hylian | i lost my windows decorations, please help | 21:53 |
| Sysi | alt F2 "xfwm4 --replace" | 21:53 |
| hylian | Sysi, thank you, that fixed it. I hate the indicator applet, so i was looking for a decent replecement. don't use knetworkmanager... :) | 21:54 |
| Sysi | nm-applet should work on notification area too | 21:55 |
| hylian | Sysi, i don't see that as an option in xubuntu, because they made nm-applet part of indicator applet now. | 21:56 |
| Sysi | they're totally separate panel applets | 21:57 |
| Sysi | whops, misread | 21:57 |
| hylian | Sysi, it doesn't show it under add panel item... i guess i'll have to do some research. thanks again for the help! | 21:57 |
| Sysi | remove indicator-applet, log out and back in and you should have nm-applet on your notification area | 21:57 |
| hylian | Sysi notification applet is greyed out... is that because indicator applet is running? | 21:58 |
| Sysi | no, it's because you already have it in your panel | 21:58 |
| hylian | you're right, it is there, but it isn't showing my network manager data... | 22:01 |
| hylian | i will reboot and see what happens | 22:01 |
| patrice | anybody can help me please? | 22:08 |
| hylian | Sysi, thank you. that is exactly what i wanted. works like a charm now :) | 22:09 |
| * hylian dances the cha-cha... | 22:10 | |
| farchord | almost like if the update just.... turned everything upside down | 23:24 |
| farchord | erm sorry | 23:24 |
| farchord | Hey guys, got a problem and it's annoying the bejeesus out of me. I used xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine, did system updates and rebooted. Now, when I start xubuntu, I get to the desktop, but windows have no title bar, the start bar appears but disappears soon after, and I can't type anything anywhere | 23:24 |
| farchord | meant taskbar sorry, old windows habits die hard | 23:25 |
| charlie-tca | Does Alt+F2 work? | 23:26 |
| charlie-tca | If it does, type xfwm4 and hit enter | 23:27 |
| farchord | That's the thing | 23:30 |
| farchord | I can't type in textboxes either | 23:30 |
| farchord | EXCEPT in the root prompt | 23:30 |
| farchord | you know, where it asks you to type your administrator password | 23:30 |
| farchord | Or if I do CTRL+ALT+F1 to F6 | 23:31 |
| charlie-tca | Hit Ctrl+Alt+F2, log in, type xfwm4 & | 23:31 |
| farchord | then I can type in console | 23:31 |
| farchord | but the gui's totally.... well borked | 23:31 |
| farchord | ok | 23:31 |
| farchord | ill try later, but thanks for the tip charlie | 23:32 |
