| mogitaff | Hi, do you know where xfce-power-manager store the configuration ? | 10:02 |
| jarnos | I copied some old directory tree (including regular files) to another partition by Thunar and now date modified is the date of copying for all files. I think the date should have been preserved. I don't understand. | 15:28 |

| DrCode | hi all | 17:50 |
| DrCode | all | 17:50 |
| DrCode | any one here? | 17:50 |
| Sysi | !anyone | 17:50 |
| ubottu | A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 17:50 |
| DrCode | I am trying to run xubuntu 11.04 under virtualbox, it seems that xubuntu 10.04 was faster then xubunutu 11.04, any idea? | 17:54 |
| Sysi | how much ram can you give for that machine? | 17:55 |
| DrCode | 512 | 17:57 |
| DrCode | 512mb, it seems that it take lot of CPU | 17:57 |
| DrCode | is there way to make xubuntu faster on old pc? | 17:58 |
| Sysi | not much | 17:58 |
| Sysi | open taskmanager and see what's using cpu | 17:58 |
| DrCode | xOrg | 17:59 |
| Wizard | disable "effects" | 17:59 |
| Wizard | if any :) | 17:59 |
| Wizard | good evening | 17:59 |
| DrCode | how? | 17:59 |
| DrCode | hi | 18:00 |
| Sysi | xfce doesn't have sny, problem with drivers | 18:00 |
| Sysi | *any | 18:00 |
| DrCode | xfce dosn'thave unity | 18:00 |
| DrCode | so I still don't understand why its so slow | 18:00 |
| Sysi | virtualbox is slower than direct hardware, have you installed guest additions? | 18:00 |
| DrCode | mybe the kernel 2.6.38 have bug in virtualbox? | 18:00 |
| DrCode | yes | 18:00 |
| Sysi | could be bug too | 18:01 |
| DrCode | ubuntu 10.04 work exclent | 18:01 |
| DrCode | I also upgrade into kernel 3.0.0 and same problem | 18:01 |
| Sysi | if you have old machine you should make real installation | 18:01 |
| DrCode | ok | 18:01 |
| DrCode | I have in my laptop xubuntu 11.04 that work ok | 18:02 |
| Sysi | you could try settings more graphics memory for it | 18:02 |
| DrCode | but I need VirtualBox for some testing | 18:02 |
| Wizard | I'd like to use LTS :S | 18:02 |
| DrCode | 11.04 is stable ver? | 18:03 |
| Sysi | it is | 18:03 |
| Wizard | for me it's still in beta | 18:03 |
| Wizard | ;P | 18:03 |
| DrCode | ok | 18:04 |
| DrCode | thanx Sysi and Wizard | 18:04 |
| Wizard | I haven't helped much | 18:04 |

| n2diy | Would copying /home between two boxes result in slowing them down? That's how I've been backing up my files, and one box has become so slow it is unusably. | 19:03 |
| charlie-tca | depends on which releases are installed and how you copy | 19:04 |
| genii-around | If you're using /home/username while copying /home/username file-locking might be problemmatic | 19:06 |
| charlie-tca | n2diy: seems the answer should be "yes, it can" | 19:06 |
| Myrtti | also depends on the protocol you are using | 19:09 |
| genii-around | hopefully something like differential rsync :) | 19:10 |
| n2diy | charlie-tca, genii-around, ok, same releases, but different hardware. I'm thinking that whatever loads modules has been "polluted"? Lsmod show lots of modules loaded, and I'm just running plain jane systems. | 19:11 |
| charlie-tca | just copying /home should not be copying those modules | 19:11 |
| n2diy | charlie-tca, ok, so nix that idea. | 19:12 |
| charlie-tca | however, it could fill the drives if nothing is ever deleted from the machine being copied to | 19:12 |
| charlie-tca | I create files, system creates backups, I delete files. If I copy to the other machine before I delete, those are copied | 19:12 |
| n2diy | charlie-tca, ok, I'm using grsync, and have setup my include and exclude files to ignore all the caching files, and I also have set "delete on destination" so as not to probagate deleted files. | 19:13 |
| charlie-tca | Are you running updates on both systems? Do both systems have the same video? nvidia at least creates files in /home for video | 19:14 |
| n2diy | charlie-tca, could xorg-config be polluted? | 19:14 |
| n2diy | charlie-tca, yes, staying up to date. | 19:15 |
| charlie-tca | If both systems do not have the same apps installed, it might be looking for one that isn't there | 19:15 |
| n2diy | charlie-tca, so, if one box had kstars, and the other one didn't, that could be an issue? | 19:16 |
| Trowa | Hey all, I'm attempting to install 10.10 via the alternate CD, however when I get the option to install, I get the error "/install/vmlinuz: file not found" | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | n2diy: anything that creates a file in /home could be a problem if it is not on both systems | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | Trowa: usb install? | 19:17 |
| n2diy | charlie-tca, ok, so it wouldn't hurt to reconfigure x? | 19:17 |
| Trowa | charlie-tca: CD | 19:17 |
| charlie-tca | n2diy: should hurt anything | 19:17 |
| charlie-tca | Trowa: then it is a bad cd or bad download | 19:17 |
| Trowa | Alright, I'll try it again. Thanks. | 19:18 |
| n2diy | charlie-tca, ok, can you refresh me on that command syntax? | 19:18 |
| genii-around | !md5 | Trowa | 19:18 |
| ubottu | Trowa: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 19:18 |
| charlie-tca | Anyone know the syntax for dpkg reconfigure? | 19:18 |
| Trowa | Thanks, ubottu | 19:18 |
| Trowa | er, yeah. haha | 19:18 |
| charlie-tca | I get it wrong everytime | 19:18 |
| n2diy | :) | 19:19 |
| n2diy | charlie-tca, ok, I can track it down with google, thanks. | 19:19 |
| genii-around | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -dlow xserver-xorg ... or similar... | 19:19 |

| boogzta | Hello everyone | 21:22 |
| boogzta | Quick question: I'm trying to install Xubuntu 11.04 (Natty) on an old 1300 mhz box with 256 mb RAM.. and it keeps hanging/freezing during the installation. I've tested the disks integrity and it seems to be a good burn. Any tips or advice on this matter would be appreciated. | 21:25 |
| Unit193 | Are you using the Alt ISO? | 21:25 |
| boogzta | I'm not familiar with the alt iso | 21:26 |
| Unit193 | !alternate | 21:26 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 21:26 |
| boogzta | Ahh! Very nice.. I'll give that one a try. Thank you very much. :] | 21:27 |
| boogzta | I was using the standard Live CD | 21:28 |
| Unit193 | That's much better with low ram computers | 21:28 |
| boogzta | Is it fairly easy to install? I'm a Linux neophyte. | 21:29 |
| boogzta | Just curious. But, I plan on reading the documentation, etc. | 21:31 |
| Unit193 | I think it's easy, but it has a "Text User Interface" meaning that it is still easy to use | 21:32 |
| boogzta | Very nice. Do you think it's a RAM issue that's acusing my install to hang? or possibly video? The old machine is using onboard graphics, which aren't too impressive, lol. | 21:34 |
| boogzta | causing* | 21:34 |
| Unit193 | I'm not on something all that awesome | 21:34 |
| boogzta | Same here. This machine is a P4 2.4 gig | 21:35 |
| boogzta | But Xubuntu 11.04 runs smooth as silk on here | 21:36 |
| * Unit193 Optiplex GX260 with a better CPU and more RAM than you have | 21:36 | |
| boogzta | :P | 21:36 |
| charlie-tca | boogzta: it will work, but you probably should not try to run more than one app at a time on the 245MB ram | 21:37 |
| charlie-tca | boogzta: it will work, but you probably should not try to run more than one app at a time on the 256MB | 21:37 |
| boogzta | What about if I up the RAM to 512? | 21:38 |
| boogzta | Silly question, I know. But I'm debating whether to go with 11.04 on that machine.. or opt for a lighter distro | 21:40 |
| * Unit193 makes no comments | 21:40 | |
| charlie-tca | more ram is always better | 21:40 |
| charlie-tca | You tried the desktop cd. It has a live session. Did you check it out and see how it works? | 21:41 |
| boogzta | yes, the live session locked up as well | 21:42 |
| boogzta | it wouldn't fully load the desktop environment | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | Then it will run quite badly. You might want to look into Lubuntu, which is lighter | 21:43 |
| charlie-tca | !lubuntu | 21:43 |
| 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. | 21:43 |
| boogzta | Does Lubunto have the same type package installer as Xubuntu? | 21:43 |
| charlie-tca | Lubuntu does use the same installer, for oneiric | 21:44 |
| charlie-tca | For the other releases, it is different | 21:44 |
| charlie-tca | Grab the oneiric desktop image and try it. It is only a few weeks now to the final release of Oneiric. | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/ | 21:45 |
| Unit193 | You would have to go with !mini for Natty | 21:45 |
| boogzta | Ok awesome, because I'm still learning the commands and whatnot.. so the GUI is very helpful atm | 21:46 |
| boogzta | Another question, if I may: I installed Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) on a newer machine (core 2 quad with Asus 1 gb gpu) and it won't load Unity by default. It kicks me to gnome and says that my hardware isn't capable to run Unity, Etc. Any idea why? | 21:48 |
| boogzta | Maybe I should be in the apropriae channel for that question. Sorry about that. | 21:52 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, I have no idea as I don't run Unity :P | 21:52 |
| boogzta | Anyway, thank you all for the assistance! I'm off to download Lubuntu and Oneiric. I'll let you know soon if it was a success or not. :] | 21:53 |
| Unit193 | Ok, cool | 21:55 |
| Brutus- | Hi, what is the xubuntu's file manager name, please? | 22:41 |
| Unit193 | The default for Xubuntu is thunar | 22:41 |
| Brutus- | thanks | 22:43 |
| Unit193 | Sure | 22:44 |
