[01:01] <AxD09> Trying to uninstall chromium from the 11.10 Beta 2 and it insists that I install firefox in its place. Really?
[02:00] <rawfodog> hey guys. fresh install, first time user. How do I get a brightness applet on my panel ?
[02:29] <toi> Does lubuntu have a dock that doesn't use compiz ?
[02:30] <toi> And that is transparent/and or simple
[03:22] <kimmy_x_99> hi guys
[03:22] <kimmy_x_99> new to lubuntu
[03:23] <kimmy_x_99> what are the minimum requirements please
[03:24] <jmarsden> If you are willing to use the alternate installer and create a swap partition first, a Pentium II, 128MB RAM, and around 4GB hard drive space.  But that's not likely to be a very enjoyable general purpose machine...
[03:25] <kimmy_x_99> i have an old laptop, 512 MB memory
[03:25] <kimmy_x_99> 10 Gb free space
[03:26] <jmarsden> That sounds likely to be fine... what CPU?
[03:26] <kimmy_x_99> 1.2 GHZ
[03:26] <kimmy_x_99> intel
[03:26] <kimmy_x_99> celeron
[03:27] <kimmy_x_99> it runs XP prof @ the moment
[03:27] <jmarsden> No problem there.  You should be good with that level of hardware.
[03:28] <kimmy_x_99> thanks alot
[03:29] <jmarsden> You're welcome.  You can probably try it out by booting from the Lubuntu CDROM using the "Try it first" menu item, if you want to get a feel for it before you actually install it.
[03:29] <jmarsden> "Try it without installing" ?  I forget exactly what the menu item says ... something like that :)
[03:30] <kimmy_x_99> great thanks, is there much difference, I want to use it mostly for torrents, will uTorrent work on it
[03:31] <jmarsden> well, it's pretty different to Windows XP :)  There are some torrent programs that run fine in Lubuntu, I'm not an expert on which of them are better than the others...
[03:31] <kimmy_x_99> i've used fedora before
[03:32] <jmarsden> OK.  So the basic ideas of Linux will be the same, the exact look of the GUI and the package management will be different from Fedora, but you should pick it up easily enough; and when you get stuck, as here for help.
[03:32] <jmarsden> *ask here for help.
[03:33] <kimmy_x_99> thanks for  you advice.
[03:34] <jmarsden> No problem.  Have fun with Lubuntu :)
[03:35] <kimmy_x_99> thanks
[14:32] <bioterror> phillw, thank you ;)
[15:18] <usuario_> Hola ¿que tal? necesito un visor para pps/ppt que no sea pesado
[16:02] <leszek> hi
[16:39] <hyper_ch> hello there, I wonder, is Lubuntu the "lightest" official ubuntu variant?
[16:41] <bioterror> yes
[16:42] <hyper_ch> might give it a try then for my backup vm :)
[16:43] <hyper_ch> I wonder if I already should go oneiric
[16:45] <bioterror> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/
[16:45] <hyper_ch> no oneiric iso?
[16:47] <hyper_ch> btw, who can edit the lubuntu help wiki? I just found a small spelling error
[19:34] <silverarrow> can I use any software for debian in lubuntu?
[19:35] <silverarrow> I am looking for a way to have softmaker in my system
[19:35] <m6locks> lubuntu uses ubuntu repo so whatever you can use in ubuntu should work
[19:36] <silverarrow> hmm, I cannot find anything especially for ubuntu either
[19:37] <silverarrow> softmaker has all the features, and much lighter than the other offices
[19:37] <m6locks> never heard of it
[19:37] <m6locks> does it work?
[19:38] <silverarrow> it does
[19:38] <silverarrow> I am trying it in puppy linux
[19:38] <silverarrow> however, I have major printing issues in puppy
[19:38] <m6locks> aye, they hard to conf
[19:39] <silverarrow> yes, it uses CUPS and I am having a hard time with it
[19:39] <silverarrow> I might be able to use drivers directly from hp
[19:39] <silverarrow> hmm
[19:41] <silverarrow> softmaker seems all comparable to the rest of the offices, in every respect
[19:41] <silverarrow> but much lighter and smaller
[19:42] <silverarrow> 2008 version is open and free
[19:42] <silverarrow> I don't mind libre office really
[19:43] <silverarrow> it works fine
