=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:05] hello [05:08] I'm trying to install xubuntu on an old Dell with 128Mb Ram. Its not going well... [05:09] I wouldn't think it would go well... [05:09] Why not? [05:09] What's the CPU like though? [05:09] PIII 900MHz [05:09] You are using the AltCD, right? [05:09] Yes [05:10] Changed Bios to boot from CD and try to install and just get the xubuntu logo for a long time [05:10] Then the system locks up and I cant do anything but reboot [05:12] By AltCD, you mean the iso? [05:12] Alternate CD, not LiveCD [05:12] Hmmm, don't know the difference. [05:13] Xubuntu can't exactly run on 128, I would recommend maybe checking out Lubuntu or something smaller like that. [05:15] 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? [05:17] 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 [05:21] 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? [05:25] 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] I've personally run it on 512M and 500MHz :P [05:25] No, I understand - you're right. Thanks for the help. [05:26] Sorry that Xubuntu won't work for you, it's great though :D [05:26] I'm off to find a distro that I can run on a 128 machine... [05:26] distrowatch too :D === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:26] * Unit193 sleep [07:48] hi all [07:48] I am thinking in returning back to Xubuntu [07:49] but I hav a question : I am developing in Qt [07:49] is it ok ? [07:49] and is Xubuntu really faster than (K)Ubuntu ? [07:49] I am on an Atom [08:07] nothing to discuss ? :) [08:24] aLeSD: xubuntu uses a bit less RAM [08:25] Sysi: no problem of ram here [08:25] only need fastness [08:25] about Qt, you can do it as well as on any *buntu [08:25] xubuntu may feel a bit snappier than unity/kde === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:23] geil ich kann wärend der installation im irc chatten [13:24] blabla schwafel [13:24] :D [13:24] *freuÜ [13:24] in english actually [13:25] wtf i can chat while the instalation of xubuntu [13:25] blabla bla [13:25] :D [13:25] *joy* [13:25] Yes, you can [13:25] First time installing Xubuntu? [13:26] yep, i tried ubuntu before, but the "unity" desktop is not good in my opinion :/ [13:27] then i tried kubuntu, but it stops suddenly, only restart possible [13:27] and now xubuntu [14:32] hello [14:38] I have usb sound card and can't setup it. It only works in VLC because there is a choice of output device. [14:43] install pavucontrol [14:53] it works, thanks [14:53] !yay [14:53] Glad you made it! :-) [16:00] dove posso chiedere aiuto?

[17:40] stephan: you should use the packages provided by the package manager [17:42] TheSheep: but i want a plugin that i cant find in there [17:43] stephan: which plugin is that? [17:44] TheSheep:xfce4-generic-slider [17:45] TheSheep: is there a reason why the ./configure, make, sudo make install commands are not working? [17:46] stephan: as that page says, you need to change the path where the plugin goes [17:46] instead of /usr/lib/xfce4/xfce4/panel-plugins it's /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins in xubuntu [17:47] and instead of /usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins it's /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins [17:48] or so it seems [17:48] (I'm guessing from the paths on my own system) [17:49] oh ok [17:50] you need to edit Makefile for that, as the author wrote [17:51] jap, thank you. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === eyes_ is now known as EyesIsMine === X-Hunter is now known as destroy === destroy is now known as X-HUnter === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [20:19] hey where would I find the drivers on my xubuntu and will they work with windows xp? [20:20] no chance [20:21] for the second and that makes first not needed I guess [20:21] kiichiro: xubuntu has all the drivers that work with it included already, and they won't work with windows [20:21] ah great now I got to go find a stupid on board nic driver, [20:22] 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] you can just use xubuntu instead [20:22] no since it doesn't support silverlight which I need for my online class [20:23] and mozilla doesn't want to accept moonlight [20:23] kiichiro: ehem, http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight [20:23] if you gat1GB ram, I recommend win7 instead of XP [20:23] *got 1GB [20:23] kiichiro: what does that have to do with mozilla? [20:23] I don't have 7 and I've had the xp disc for awhile that's why I'm not upgrading, [20:24] also, try ##windows for windows support [20:25] 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] lspci tells what hardware you got [20:26] 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 [20:53] hello all, you must get this question alot. How do I change the login screen? [20:55] the image only really [20:56] hey all. is there a way to disable tap-to-click in xubuntu natty, without mucking about in config files? [20:57] yes [20:57] fantastic. you've been a big help. [20:57] what is it? [20:58] !info gpointing-device-settings [20:58] 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] just install and use that [20:58] andres-kain: TBH, I think you are the second person I have seen wanting to do that [20:58] thank you. you've been an even bigger help now. [20:58] sorry for the delay, I had to find the exact name [20:59] !gdm [20:59] no worries, of course. [20:59] andres-kain: and, I don't know if it is possible [21:00] charlie-tca: !gdm ? [21:00] is gdm some sort of program I need to install? [21:00] gdm is what creates the login [21:01] so, to change the login screen, you change something in gdm [21:01] I see... it is some sort of xml file? [21:02] http://maketecheasier.com/gdm2-setup-reclaim-control-of-your-login-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/20 [21:02] (I didn't test that myself) [21:02] thank you!

[21:44] hello everybody [21:44] please help [21:45] I've Dell Inspiron n5110 with i915 and nvidia gt 525m vga cards. but I cannot use nvidia, I've installed proprietary drivers [21:45] put after restart [21:46] it says "No Screen" [21:46] you propably have nvidia optimus system, that doesn't work in linux [21:46] yes [21:46] it's optimus [21:46] but why doesn't? [21:48] 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] ok [21:48] what is bumblebee [21:48] ? [21:49] project to make nvidia optimus work on linux [21:49] so cn' you help me with installing [21:49] ?? [21:49] or give me a link [21:50] with instructions [21:50] I google as well as you propably [21:51] ok [21:51] i've found [21:51] )) [21:51] thx [21:53] i lost my windows decorations, please help [21:53] alt F2 "xfwm4 --replace" [21:54] Sysi, thank you, that fixed it. I hate the indicator applet, so i was looking for a decent replecement. don't use knetworkmanager... :) [21:55] nm-applet should work on notification area too [21:56] Sysi, i don't see that as an option in xubuntu, because they made nm-applet part of indicator applet now. [21:57] they're totally separate panel applets [21:57] whops, misread [21:57] 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] remove indicator-applet, log out and back in and you should have nm-applet on your notification area [21:58] Sysi notification applet is greyed out... is that because indicator applet is running? [21:58] no, it's because you already have it in your panel [22:01] you're right, it is there, but it isn't showing my network manager data... [22:01] i will reboot and see what happens [22:08] anybody can help me please? [22:09] Sysi, thank you. that is exactly what i wanted. works like a charm now :) [22:10] * hylian dances the cha-cha... [23:24] almost like if the update just.... turned everything upside down [23:24] erm sorry [23:24] 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 [23:25] meant taskbar sorry, old windows habits die hard [23:26] Does Alt+F2 work? [23:27] If it does, type xfwm4 and hit enter [23:30] That's the thing [23:30] I can't type in textboxes either [23:30] EXCEPT in the root prompt [23:30] you know, where it asks you to type your administrator password [23:31] Or if I do CTRL+ALT+F1 to F6 [23:31] Hit Ctrl+Alt+F2, log in, type xfwm4 & [23:31] then I can type in console [23:31] but the gui's totally.... well borked [23:31] ok [23:32] ill try later, but thanks for the tip charlie
