[03:07] <rezbd> is it possible to run Ubuntu 11.10 on a netbook of Atom processor 1.66 Ghz with 1 GB RAM ?
[03:13] <bodhizazen> yes rezbd
[03:16] <rezbd> thanks bodhizazen , but I think it needs atleast pentium 4 processor. I'm afraid will it work for ATOM
[03:23] <bodhizazen> rezbd, I run linux on my atom processor
[03:24] <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
[03:25] <rezbd> what's your RAM bodhizazen ?
[03:25] <rezbd> are you running it on a 1 GB RAM?
[03:32] <bodhizazen> my netbook has 2 gb ram
[03:32] <bodhizazen> but Ubuntu will run just fine on 1 gb
[03:33] <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
[03:34] <rezbd> ok. thanks :)

[03:49] <w30> lubuntu picks light (as in small disk space apps) default but you can install whatever, my lubuntu takes up about 3 gig.
[03:50] <w30> lubuntu works nice on my 8gig ssd notebook
[03:51] <w30> XP and word choked up the whole netbook
[06:38] <sebsebseb> hi
[06:39] <philipballew> sebsebseb, hello
[06:39] <sebsebseb> philipballew: hi
[06:39] <philipballew> whats up
[06:40] <sebsebseb> not much you?
[06:46] <philipballew> sebsebseb, I am just chilling i guess. for much off topic talk there is always #ubuntu-beginners-team
[09:10] <wisevoyager> Assalamualaikum & salam !Malaysia..
[09:12] <wisevoyager> anybody here fm m'sia?
[09:12] <wisevoyager> I'd prefer talk in native language..,
[09:59] <g4xyw> ?
[09:59] <wisevoyager> ??
[10:00] <g4xyw> 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] <geirha> g4xyw: apt-get source streamer
[10:08] <g4xyw> Brilliant, thanks.
[19:44] <chute> Hello - sorry to bug, but how do you access "connect to server" under Unity (11.10)?
[19:45] <philipballew> chute, yeah. its on the top bar when your looking at the desktop
[19:45] <philipballew> your not bugging. dont worry
[19:46] <philipballew> im in debian now so i cant check for you
[19:48] <philipballew> chute, that work well>
[19:48] <philipballew> ?
[19:48] <chute> no :)
[19:48] <chute>  network is there
[19:49] <chute> but I would like to connect via ssh to my other PC - it was formerly under "Places / connect to server"
[19:51] <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"
[19:54] <chute> giving Unity another go after this afternoons "classroom" by jcastro, but it is difficult to find my way around
[19:55] <philipballew> you can ssh through terminal?
[19:56] <philipballew> jcastro is a cool dude
[19:57] <chute> yes to both :)
[19:57] <chute> no problem in connecting via ssh directly
[19:59] <chute> it must be there somewhere, I am just to noobish to find it or maybe the nomenclature has changed.
[20:00] <philipballew> how do you like unity?
[20:01] <chute> well, I am giving it a new try - but it sure is different - it feels to Macish nearly :)
[20:03] <philipballew> is macish bad?
[20:04] <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.
[20:05] <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?
[20:06] <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.
[20:07] <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
[20:08] <chute> under nautilus?
[20:08] <philipballew> no.
[20:09] <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!
[20:10] <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
[20:11] <philipballew> its ok
[20:11] <philipballew> if you need any help im on here alot.
[20:12] <chute> so it took you two weeks? and now you do all you did before under unity as easily as before or even faster?
[20:13] <philipballew> very much so
[20:13] <philipballew> i have my terminal chrome and irc app
[20:14] <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?
[20:15] <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
[20:16] <chute> pannel is the top bar, right?
[20:17] <philipballew> i mean the bar on the side
[20:17] <chute> yes, i tried that
[20:18] <chute> 4 equal areas here. Top left is a miniature of my desktop and the three other quadrants are black
[20:19] <philipballew> try this
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <philipballew> feel free to email me with anything
[20:21] <philipballew> philipballew@ubuntu.com
[21:18] <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?
[21:27] <Brutus-> chute, good question... Who knows
[21:29] <chute> I'll start with a good backup - thanks, Brutus-
[21:30] <geirha> In general, software will adapt config files from older versions of the software.
[21:38] <chute> running 10.04 and 11.10 on the same /home would be risky then, I guess
[21:43] <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.
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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
[21:47] <chute> do you think that developers have to maintain different versions for Gnome3 and Unity? Or is it automatically handled by the display manager?
[21:49] <Brutus-> In the actual release, after the installation, you can choose which graphic to use.
[22:15] <chute> There must be differences in the apps. The gparted delivered with 11.10 does NOT put its menu in the status bar.
[22:20] <geirha> The menubar is on the top panel (like on osx).
[22:21] <geirha> That's not triggered by a change in the apps, just different placement of gtk componenets by the desktop environment.
[22:22] <chute> try gparted - here the menus do not migrate to the top panel, but remain in the app window
[22:23] <chute> only the application title migrated to the top panel
[22:24] <geirha> Ah, indeed. So gparted probably doesn't use the standard menubar component.
[22:28] <Daishi> um...Hi!
[23:57] <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.
[23:59] <chute> another app that doesn't put the menus into the top panel is Synaptic Package Manager. There must be many more.
