=== semitones is now known as sillytones === samsul_ is now known as samsul [03:07] is it possible to run Ubuntu 11.10 on a netbook of Atom processor 1.66 Ghz with 1 GB RAM ? [03:13] yes rezbd [03:16] thanks bodhizazen , but I think it needs atleast pentium 4 processor. I'm afraid will it work for ATOM [03:23] rezbd, I run linux on my atom processor [03:24] use a light weight window manager if you wish, xfce is fine [03:24] as is fluxbox or openbox [03:24] I don't know how to do it :p [03:24] I'm very beginner [03:25] what's your RAM bodhizazen ? [03:25] are you running it on a 1 GB RAM? [03:32] my netbook has 2 gb ram [03:32] but Ubuntu will run just fine on 1 gb [03:33] ok :) [03:33] rezbd, download xubuntu (xfce) or lubuntu (openbox + lx desktop) [03:33] does xfce mean Xubuntu? [03:33] either will run fast enough [03:33] yes [03:33] kde = kubuntu [03:33] xfce = xubuntu [03:33] lxde = lubuntu [03:34] ok. thanks :) [03:34] http://xwinman.org/ [03:34] http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/a-5-minute-guide-to-fluxbox/ [03:49] lubuntu picks light (as in small disk space apps) default but you can install whatever, my lubuntu takes up about 3 gig. [03:50] lubuntu works nice on my 8gig ssd notebook [03:51] XP and word choked up the whole netbook [06:38] hi [06:39] sebsebseb, hello [06:39] philipballew: hi [06:39] whats up [06:40] not much you? [06:46] sebsebseb, I am just chilling i guess. for much off topic talk there is always #ubuntu-beginners-team [09:10] Assalamualaikum & salam !Malaysia.. [09:12] anybody here fm m'sia? [09:12] I'd prefer talk in native language.., [09:59] ? [09:59] ?? [10:00] Hello Everybody, I am trying to find out how to locate the scource code for the "streamer" utility, can anybody please shove me in the correct direction. [10:01] g4xyw: apt-get source streamer [10:08] Brilliant, thanks. === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [19:44] Hello - sorry to bug, but how do you access "connect to server" under Unity (11.10)? [19:45] chute, yeah. its on the top bar when your looking at the desktop [19:45] your not bugging. dont worry [19:46] im in debian now so i cant check for you [19:48] chute, that work well> [19:48] ? [19:48] no :) [19:48] network is there [19:49] but I would like to connect via ssh to my other PC - it was formerly under "Places / connect to server" [19:51] 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" [19:54] giving Unity another go after this afternoons "classroom" by jcastro, but it is difficult to find my way around [19:55] you can ssh through terminal? [19:56] jcastro is a cool dude [19:57] yes to both :) [19:57] no problem in connecting via ssh directly [19:59] it must be there somewhere, I am just to noobish to find it or maybe the nomenclature has changed. [20:00] how do you like unity? [20:01] well, I am giving it a new try - but it sure is different - it feels to Macish nearly :) [20:03] is macish bad? [20:04] 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] did you see the session after jcastro today chute [20:04] alright, ill help you do that. [20:05] lets connect to a server [20:05] * philipballew pulls out his laptop [20:05] I don't like the menus at the top bar [20:05] how so? [20:06] 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. [20:07] it took me 2 weeks to get used to it :) [20:07] it is all still confusing to me, let me put it that way [20:07] go to desktop [20:07] file > connect to server [20:08] under nautilus? [20:08] no. [20:09] when the desktop is showing [20:09] like wallpaper [20:09] I found it :) [20:09] in nautilus File menu, indeed [20:09] there you go! [20:10] is the default browser still nautilus btw? [20:10] yes it is [20:10] i like the tab browsing [20:10] thanks a lot philipballew, I feel stupid now - it was there under my nose all the time [20:11] its ok [20:11] if you need any help im on here alot. [20:12] so it took you two weeks? and now you do all you did before under unity as easily as before or even faster? [20:13] very much so [20:13] i have my terminal chrome and irc app [20:14] its my main apps [20:14] anyhow, thanks a lot again, and I will try a bit harder next time, before bugging you guys [20:14] you can customize unity [20:14] you are not bugging :) [20:14] maybe a hint on how to create new workspaces? [20:15] I seem to have one only [20:15] on the unity pannel there shold be a workspace switcher [20:15] *should [20:15] and haven't found yet where to define the number of workspaces [20:16] pannel is the top bar, right? [20:17] i mean the bar on the side [20:17] yes, i tried that [20:18] 4 equal areas here. Top left is a miniature of my desktop and the three other quadrants are black [20:19] try this [20:20] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/quickly-adjust-the-number-of-workspaces-in-unity-with-indicator-workspaces/ [20:20] somethink to hack on [20:20] I gtg to a swap meet [20:20] 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] thanks a lot philipballew [20:21] feel free to email me with anything [20:21] philipballew@ubuntu.com === yofel_ is now known as yofel [21:18] 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? [21:27] chute, good question... Who knows [21:29] I'll start with a good backup - thanks, Brutus- [21:30] In general, software will adapt config files from older versions of the software. [21:38] running 10.04 and 11.10 on the same /home would be risky then, I guess [21:43] 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. [21:44] I haven't tried running two ubuntu versions with the same homedir, so I'm mostly just thinking out loud. [21:44] I will try that for a start - dual boot with shared /home [21:45] I have done that before w/o any problems but not with such a big difference [21:45] I might also see a big difference where there isn't one after all [21:47] do you think that developers have to maintain different versions for Gnome3 and Unity? Or is it automatically handled by the display manager? [21:49] In the actual release, after the installation, you can choose which graphic to use. [22:15] There must be differences in the apps. The gparted delivered with 11.10 does NOT put its menu in the status bar. [22:20] The menubar is on the top panel (like on osx). [22:21] That's not triggered by a change in the apps, just different placement of gtk componenets by the desktop environment. [22:22] try gparted - here the menus do not migrate to the top panel, but remain in the app window [22:23] only the application title migrated to the top panel [22:24] Ah, indeed. So gparted probably doesn't use the standard menubar component. [22:28] um...Hi! [23:57] 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. [23:59] another app that doesn't put the menus into the top panel is Synaptic Package Manager. There must be many more.
