| rezbd | is it possible to run Ubuntu 11.10 on a netbook of Atom processor 1.66 Ghz with 1 GB RAM ? | 03:07 |
|---|---|---|
| bodhizazen | yes rezbd | 03:13 |
| rezbd | thanks bodhizazen , but I think it needs atleast pentium 4 processor. I'm afraid will it work for ATOM | 03:16 |
| bodhizazen | rezbd, I run linux on my atom processor | 03:23 |
| bodhizazen | use a light weight window manager if you wish, xfce is fine | 03:24 |
| bodhizazen | as is fluxbox or openbox | 03:24 |
| rezbd | I don't know how to do it :p | 03:24 |
| rezbd | I'm very beginner | 03:24 |
| rezbd | what's your RAM bodhizazen ? | 03:25 |
| rezbd | are you running it on a 1 GB RAM? | 03:25 |
| bodhizazen | my netbook has 2 gb ram | 03:32 |
| bodhizazen | but Ubuntu will run just fine on 1 gb | 03:32 |
| rezbd | ok :) | 03:33 |
| bodhizazen | rezbd, download xubuntu (xfce) or lubuntu (openbox + lx desktop) | 03:33 |
| rezbd | does xfce mean Xubuntu? | 03:33 |
| bodhizazen | either will run fast enough | 03:33 |
| bodhizazen | yes | 03:33 |
| bodhizazen | kde = kubuntu | 03:33 |
| bodhizazen | xfce = xubuntu | 03:33 |
| bodhizazen | lxde = lubuntu | 03:33 |
| rezbd | ok. thanks :) | 03:34 |

| w30 | lubuntu picks light (as in small disk space apps) default but you can install whatever, my lubuntu takes up about 3 gig. | 03:49 |
| w30 | lubuntu works nice on my 8gig ssd notebook | 03:50 |
| w30 | XP and word choked up the whole netbook | 03:51 |

| chute | Hello - sorry to bug, but how do you access "connect to server" under Unity (11.10)? | 19:44 |
| philipballew | chute, yeah. its on the top bar when your looking at the desktop | 19:45 |
| philipballew | your not bugging. dont worry | 19:45 |
| philipballew | im in debian now so i cant check for you | 19:46 |
| philipballew | chute, that work well> | 19:48 |
| philipballew | ? | 19:48 |
| chute | no :) | 19:48 |
| chute | network is there | 19:48 |
| chute | but I would like to connect via ssh to my other PC - it was formerly under "Places / connect to server" | 19:49 |
| chute | and I can't find that option under nautilus in Unity - is there another place? Also tried Dash search but it couldn't find "connect to server" | 19:51 |
| chute | giving Unity another go after this afternoons "classroom" by jcastro, but it is difficult to find my way around | 19:54 |
| philipballew | you can ssh through terminal? | 19:55 |
| philipballew | jcastro is a cool dude | 19:56 |
| chute | yes to both :) | 19:57 |
| chute | no problem in connecting via ssh directly | 19:57 |
| chute | it must be there somewhere, I am just to noobish to find it or maybe the nomenclature has changed. | 19:59 |
| philipballew | how do you like unity? | 20:00 |
| chute | well, I am giving it a new try - but it sure is different - it feels to Macish nearly :) | 20:01 |
| philipballew | is macish bad? | 20:03 |
| chute | have tried Xfce as Gnome is dropping 2.x - works nicely too. I see jcastros points and we all know how difficult it is to change the UI. So right now my quest is "connect to server", I use it all the time. Guess a solution would be sshfs, but that is not the point of the exercise | 20:04 |
| philipballew | did you see the session after jcastro today chute | 20:04 |
| philipballew | alright, ill help you do that. | 20:04 |
| philipballew | lets connect to a server | 20:05 |
| * philipballew pulls out his laptop | 20:05 | |
| chute | I don't like the menus at the top bar | 20:05 |
| philipballew | how so? | 20:05 |
| chute | a long mouse movement when you have several small app windows open - but again, I am too noobish in Unity to give a real opinion. | 20:06 |
| philipballew | it took me 2 weeks to get used to it :) | 20:07 |
| chute | it is all still confusing to me, let me put it that way | 20:07 |
| philipballew | go to desktop | 20:07 |
| philipballew | file > connect to server | 20:07 |
| chute | under nautilus? | 20:08 |
| philipballew | no. | 20:08 |
| philipballew | when the desktop is showing | 20:09 |
| philipballew | like wallpaper | 20:09 |
| chute | I found it :) | 20:09 |
| chute | in nautilus File menu, indeed | 20:09 |
| philipballew | there you go! | 20:09 |
| chute | is the default browser still nautilus btw? | 20:10 |
| philipballew | yes it is | 20:10 |
| philipballew | i like the tab browsing | 20:10 |
| chute | thanks a lot philipballew, I feel stupid now - it was there under my nose all the time | 20:10 |
| philipballew | its ok | 20:11 |
| philipballew | if you need any help im on here alot. | 20:11 |
| chute | so it took you two weeks? and now you do all you did before under unity as easily as before or even faster? | 20:12 |
| philipballew | very much so | 20:13 |
| philipballew | i have my terminal chrome and irc app | 20:13 |
| philipballew | its my main apps | 20:14 |
| chute | anyhow, thanks a lot again, and I will try a bit harder next time, before bugging you guys | 20:14 |
| philipballew | you can customize unity | 20:14 |
| philipballew | you are not bugging :) | 20:14 |
| chute | maybe a hint on how to create new workspaces? | 20:14 |
| chute | I seem to have one only | 20:15 |
| philipballew | on the unity pannel there shold be a workspace switcher | 20:15 |
| philipballew | *should | 20:15 |
| chute | and haven't found yet where to define the number of workspaces | 20:15 |
| chute | pannel is the top bar, right? | 20:16 |
| philipballew | i mean the bar on the side | 20:17 |
| chute | yes, i tried that | 20:17 |
| chute | 4 equal areas here. Top left is a miniature of my desktop and the three other quadrants are black | 20:18 |
| philipballew | try this | 20:19 |
| philipballew | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/quickly-adjust-the-number-of-workspaces-in-unity-with-indicator-workspaces/ | 20:20 |
| philipballew | somethink to hack on | 20:20 |
| philipballew | I gtg to a swap meet | 20:20 |
| chute | but I only can click on the miniature desktop (which brings me back to where I started) - clicking on any other part does nothing | 20:20 |
| chute | thanks a lot philipballew | 20:20 |
| philipballew | feel free to email me with anything | 20:21 |

| chute | Hello again - are the /home partitions compatible between 10.04 Gnome and 11.10 Unity? I.e. can I overwrite my root partition, installing 11.10, and keep my old /home partition? No major clashes foreseen? | 21:18 |
| Brutus- | chute, good question... Who knows | 21:27 |
| chute | I'll start with a good backup - thanks, Brutus- | 21:29 |
| geirha | In general, software will adapt config files from older versions of the software. | 21:30 |
| chute | running 10.04 and 11.10 on the same /home would be risky then, I guess | 21:38 |
| geirha | Some software may get problematic, but if it's designed somewhat sanely, the older software should just ignore newer/unknown configuration, while the newer software should just ignore older, no-longer-used configuration. | 21:43 |
| geirha | I haven't tried running two ubuntu versions with the same homedir, so I'm mostly just thinking out loud. | 21:44 |
| chute | I will try that for a start - dual boot with shared /home | 21:44 |
| chute | I have done that before w/o any problems but not with such a big difference | 21:45 |
| chute | I might also see a big difference where there isn't one after all | 21:45 |
| chute | do you think that developers have to maintain different versions for Gnome3 and Unity? Or is it automatically handled by the display manager? | 21:47 |
| Brutus- | In the actual release, after the installation, you can choose which graphic to use. | 21:49 |
| chute | There must be differences in the apps. The gparted delivered with 11.10 does NOT put its menu in the status bar. | 22:15 |
| geirha | The menubar is on the top panel (like on osx). | 22:20 |
| geirha | That's not triggered by a change in the apps, just different placement of gtk componenets by the desktop environment. | 22:21 |
| chute | try gparted - here the menus do not migrate to the top panel, but remain in the app window | 22:22 |
| chute | only the application title migrated to the top panel | 22:23 |
| geirha | Ah, indeed. So gparted probably doesn't use the standard menubar component. | 22:24 |
| Daishi | um...Hi! | 22:28 |
| chute | FYI, running Unity and 10.04 Gnome2 on the same /home partition works fine. Some small visual problems after the 1st reboot but that was easy to resolve by respecifying a new theme. | 23:57 |
| chute | another app that doesn't put the menus into the top panel is Synaptic Package Manager. There must be many more. | 23:59 |
