mahasamootI'm trying out xubuntu for the first time on the liveCD, and right away there's a big problem... not only is the proper driver for my nVidia card not loaded, but the Additional Drivers dialog only gives the option of nouveau-rubbish.  How does one go about get the correct driver installed, as the install dialog often fails even when it offers to install the correct drivers?02:59
mahasamootNow I go to www.youtube.com, and flash isn't installed.  As much as I detest flash, is a major web component that's needed for normal web surfing.First impressions count.  Trying making a good first impression, by showing the nVidia banner at boot to let me know that the correct drivers are loaded, and installing flash by default.03:05
mahasamootFinally, I go to check the time, and NTP isn't installed either.03:12
GridCubemahasamoot, flash is on xubuntu-restricted-extras03:13
GridCubeand the drivers for nvidia should be there if they are not search the on synaptic03:14
mahasamootGridCube, thank you for the point.  I know it's easy to get, the point I'm making is that I shouldn't need to get it, it should already be installed by default03:15
GridCubenope03:15
GridCubeis restricted for a reason03:15
mahasamootwhat reason?03:16
GridCubeprivative license and closed software03:17
mahasamootid est, you don't want to install it.03:18
GridCubeits one of the very first things i install, the whole xubuntu-restricted-extras03:18
GridCubebut i know they are restricted03:18
GridCubeand i choose to accept that03:19

mahasamoothorrible file manager03:25
GridCubewhit that attitude you ain't gonna win  a lot of friends around here bro03:26
mahasamootI'm just giving honest first impressions... I'm a refuge from KDE03:27
GridCubeoh... qt03:27
mahasamootI'm trying to find something better, that doesn't crash, and isn't slow as molasess in Jan.03:27
GridCubethings are different back there03:27
GridCubewell you can always change the filemanager03:28
mahasamootso far, xfce is fast and hasn't crashed... it might serve my needs03:28
GridCubeuse nautilus if you want, but i would rather learn to like thunar03:28
well_laid_lawnpeople who whinge about free stuff amaze me03:28
GridCubealso if speed is what your after try lubuntu as well03:28
mahasamootit's not thunar is it?03:28
GridCubemahasamoot, ? what? xubuntu comes whit thunar03:29
mahasamootoh... I thot thunar was different, I wonder if it's just set up weird.03:29
mahasamootlike, doesn't it have options for power users?03:30
well_laid_lawnpower users can find all the options they need themselves...03:31
GridCubepower users use a tty and if they feel nostalgic mc03:32
well_laid_lawnheh03:32
mahasamootwell, inspite of the warts, there's alot to like here... I'll install and give it a week.  Thanks for your help!03:34
GridCube:) np03:35
mahasamootwhat's the hot key to open the run program dialog?03:40
GridCubealt-f203:41
mahasamootoh, I thot I had tried that... thanks!03:41
GridCubeno problem :)03:41
mahasamootI just tried moving the panel from the top, to the side of the screen and all the text changes orientation to match... except the clock03:51
mahasamootInstall process is running smoothly so far03:52

DanielSenatHi, I can't boot from my xubuntu cd08:52
xubuntu_failthey are all empty08:52
xubuntu_fail@DanielSenat have you tried burning it again?08:53
DanielSenatxubuntu_fail, No I havn't08:53

xubuntu_failyes08:54
xubuntu_faili checked it twice08:54
DanielSenatI can boot from it, but when i chose try xubuntu without installing it just takes so much time, xubuntu is written on the screen, but no boot08:54
madnickSorry I have not heard of this bug previously08:54
xubuntu_fail@DanielSenat It can up to 20 minutes08:55
DanielSenatxubuntu_fail, OK, it explains everything..08:56
madnickThing is however, if you had a normal CD, the first dialog is checking internet connection, ive looked for bugs and I cannot find anyone like this08:57
xubuntu_failoh, then i must try burning an alternate cd...08:57

xubuntu_fail2GB08:58
xubuntu_fail2GHz08:58
knomeoki, then it's not that :P08:58
knomebecause something similar might come up with very little ram08:58
knomemaybe the graphic card then, so better try alternative as you thought08:59
xubuntu_failoh, i forgot that my hard drive makes read/write sounds and the led is blinking but nothing on the screen happens08:59
xubuntu_failoh year my graphic card is making OFTEN problems08:59

mahasamootHi, I'm just trying Xubuntu for the first time.13:23
mahasamootI'm a refuge from KDE4.... which is soooo slow, and also still crashes13:24
mahasamootI just installed Xubuntu last night, and am trying to get the hang of it13:24
mahasamootWhile it's much faster and there's alot to like, one huge problem I have is the "Run Program..." dialog13:25
TheSheepwhat about it?13:26
KM0201mahasamoot: ..?13:26
mahasamootit's useless, no help at all... why doesn't it search as I type13:26
mahasamootcan it be replaced?13:27
TheSheepsure, you can use anything13:27
TheSheeplike gnome-do or something13:27
TheSheephmm, synapse, launchy13:29
mahasamootthanks, I'll have a look13:29
mahasamootI'm tried of this silly thing that thinks everything I type is a search term for the web browser.... when it's called "Run Program"13:30
TheSheephuh?13:31
TheSheepxfrun4 only starts programs13:32
TheSheepsynapse looks kinda nice13:34
mahasamootfor example, if I type "gnome-do" into the "Run Program" dialog, it opens a tab in firefox, and puts gnome-do in the location bar, then ff tells me there is no such website13:38
mahasamoottho, I see that gnome-do wasn't installed... perhaps it would run if I had it... which I soon will.13:39
TheSheepis that the same dialog that appear when you press alt+f2?13:39
mahasamootyes13:40
TheSheepthat's strange, it doesn't do web searches for me13:40
TheSheepmaybe it's some option13:40
mahasamootI misspoke... it's not really a search, it just thinks it's a webpage13:41
TheSheepbut yeah, it's not supposed to search for programs or files, it just executes the command you put there13:41
mahasamootif I type "google" it opens google in a tab in ff13:42
TheSheepI guess that's a new thing13:43
mahasamootI guess it's not as bad as I first thot... tho, a step down for sure, when you're used to tab-completion...13:45
mahasamootTheSheep, thanks for the help... I've got to reboot due to updates L8R :-)13:46
