[05:39] <xubuntu828> how to install xubuntu after i download it from website (i need it on windows xp)
[05:40] <baizon> xubuntu828: burn in on a cd
[05:40] <baizon> boot from cd and install
[05:40] <baizon> but first run a live session and shrink your existing hard drive
[05:40] <baizon> so you can use both, xubuntu and windows xp
[05:41] <baizon> xubuntu828: more here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[05:41] <baizon> this one is good too: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html
[05:42] <xubuntu828> the download comes in a winrar file do i extract and burn evrything thats in it oto a cd?
[05:43] <baizon> xubuntu828: burn it using imgburn or cdburnerxp
[05:43] <baizon> when you got the iso
[05:45] <xubuntu828> what exactly is iso? the download comes with many files in it( sorry for foolish questions)
[05:46] <baizon> yes

[06:11] <xubuntu828> xubuntu froze on the bootloader screen any ideas why?
[06:13] <xubuntu828> xubuntu froze on the bootloader screen any ideas why?
[06:16] <xubuntu828> xubuntu froze on the bootloader screen any ideas why? please i need help i think i screwed my laptop
[06:19] <xubuntu828> @baizon do u maybe know the problem to freezing at bootloader?
[06:43] <aperjan> xubuntu froze on the bootloader screen any ideas why?
[06:48] <astraljava> aperjan: Sadly, no. Please pastebin /var/log/syslog and the output of dmesg. If it's a graphics issue (yes I understand we don't know, yet), also the /var/log/Xorg.0.log could be helpful.
[08:39] <thauriswulfa> How do I open webdisk in xubuntu? Tried thunar but nothing happens after authentication.
[08:39] <thauriswulfa> webdisk-webdav
[08:43] <well_laid_lawn> thauriswulfa: it's old but should work http://www.howtoforge.com/davfs_ubuntu
[08:44] <thauriswulfa> well_laid_lawn: I am trying Gigolo but its connecting from several minutes and still not connected:-(:-/
[08:57] <xubuntu201> why is xubunu freeze on the boot screen?
[11:53] <pimperle> hi
[11:54] <pimperle> if i select "sans" from the font list in xubuntu, what font will that be?
[11:54] <pimperle> where is configured what "Sans" means?
[11:57] <pimperle> its neither ubuntu sans, dejavu sans, droid sans. Choosing those changes the font. however I'd like to avoid having to check all fonts and would also like to know (for curiosity) where the setting comes from

[17:13] <xubuntu662> Good evenings in here :p
[17:14] <blackgatonegro> Hi
[17:15] <xubuntu662> Think I did something wrong when making partitions - ill have to see that when it comes up :/
[17:15] <blackgatonegro> try using gparted
[17:15] <xubuntu662> made a swap - a /home and a /  - and then I left like 180gb free :D
[17:15] <blackgatonegro> well
[17:15] <xubuntu662> just installing right now :p
[17:15] <blackgatonegro> you can expand a particion
[17:16] <xubuntu662> is there some good "howto" do to it correct?
[17:16] <xubuntu662> I know what I want, but not able to know how to do it correctly
[17:16] <blackgatonegro> boot with ubuntu cd, pick particion, select "check"
[17:17] <blackgatonegro> on gparted
[17:19] <xubuntu662> Still installing :\
[17:37] <drc> Anyone (in the US) able to verify their cable subscription and register for the Olympics Live  @  http://www.nbcolympics.com/  ?
[17:38] <blackgatonegro> what that does have to do with xubuntu?
[17:39] <pleia2> yeah, that's pretty far off-topic ;)
[17:39] <drc> Because I can do it with Salix but not U/Xubuntu
[17:40] <pleia2> ah
[17:40] <blackgatonegro> tried with firefox or opera?
[17:41] <drc> it you want I can take this to OT
[17:41] <drc> Tried with FF Chromium and midori
[17:42] <drc> what happens is I can go thru the process but then insread of going to a "Your ready to watch"
[17:42] <drc> screen, I goes back to the "start the process" screen
[17:42] <drc> er...You're, sheesh :(
[17:43] <blackgatonegro> try with opera
[17:43] <drc> Don;t lioke opera
[17:43] <blackgatonegro> if opera does not work, then it does not work under linux
[17:43] <drc> blackgatonegro: It <does> work under linux...Works fine with Salix
[17:44] <blackgatonegro> ok
[17:44] <blackgatonegro> maybe xubuntu is missing some libraries
[17:44] <Unit193> Opera works on Xubuntu, if that's the question.
[17:45] <drc> blackgatonegro: It also doesn't work with SolusOS and Ubuntu...I was wondering if it was a Debain thing?
[19:30] <xubuntu692> I'm trying to install Xbuntu but the installation stops in the middle ANd I have the message : "The Installer has encountered... A desktop session will be open to investigate the problem." And it goes to the liveCD version. What Should I do now?
[19:53] <ochosi> xubuntu692: what is the part of the message that you replaced by three dots?
[20:12] <greasegum> hey fellas and dames.
[20:12] <march> hi@all
[20:12] <Barnabas> hi there
[20:12] <caytchen> hey, my xubuntu system only works through the guest account. can I somehow gain root from the guest interface? tried su but apparently i'm not allowed to do anything even when I supply the correct password.
[20:13] <Barnabas> boot of a usb device and edit the relevant user /group files?
[20:13] <greasegum> When I click on a panel icon to minimize I can't click to restore right away. I have to focus another window, then click the panel icon to restore. This is completely maddening.
[20:14] <caytchen> no usb device anywhere.
[20:14] <Barnabas> caytchen, really? what kind of hw
[20:14] <caytchen> well sure the thing has USB but I don't have a suitable stick to do that :o
[20:15] <Barnabas> cdrom/dvd/blueray will do to
[20:15] <caytchen> can't i just boot directly into a shell without the X stuff?
[20:15] <Barnabas> emergency shell yes
[20:15] <caytchen> how would that work?
[20:15] <Barnabas> press shift while booting
[20:15] <caytchen> thanks, I will try that
[20:15] <Barnabas> grub should show up and you can select emergency da di da da
[20:19] <greasegum> anyone know how to get panel icons to act right?
[20:20] <Barnabas> hmm define "right" :-)
[20:22] <Barnabas> if you have installed a regular ubuntu and then added xubuntu - it is not the same as installing xubuntu
[20:22] <Barnabas> I realized that today
[20:22] <Barnabas> am on a freshly installed xubuntu
[20:22] <Barnabas> fantastic system compared to the general suckyness of gnome-shell and unity in particular
[20:24] <Marzata> I install xubuntu, and after that LXDE and xmonad.
[20:25] <greasegum> interesting, I never thought that would be an issue
[20:25] <greasegum> yah I despise unity. such a waste of screen for one thing
[20:27] <Barnabas> I despise it due the the utter crap it is handling multiple monitors
[20:27] <greasegum> do you run compiz?
[20:27] <Barnabas> why does the launch bar HAVE to be on the right most monitor ..
[20:27] <Barnabas> yeah compiz
[20:28] <Barnabas> believe on a default xubuntu install it is std
[20:28] <Barnabas> to run with a composite manager
[20:28] <greasegum> I want to do a fresh install, but I don't want to reconfigure... :\
[20:28] <Barnabas> backup home/etc?
[20:28] <Barnabas> nuke your system and copy files back
[20:29] <greasegum> that's an idea
[20:29] <Barnabas> I did that today
[20:29] <Barnabas> 1½ to 2 hours
[20:29] <Barnabas> to much hacking and too many upgrades of the old system
[20:30] <greasegum> still have to reinstall all packages, though...
[20:30] <Barnabas> you can do a dump of what you have installed and use it for reinstall
[20:31] <greasegum> using synaptic?
[20:31] <Barnabas> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366
[20:31] <Barnabas> pretty simple
[20:32] <Barnabas> you may be able to with synaptic also
[20:32] <Barnabas> but I would not know the correct procedure for that
[20:33] <greasegum> it's tempting. I'm a sucker for a fresh install.
[20:35] <Barnabas> I usually keep important data "in the cloud" so reinstalling a pc is trivial
[20:35] <Barnabas> ubuntu one is your friend
[20:37] <greasegum> this dpkg > file is supa clever :D
[20:37] <greasegum> thanks, cheers
[20:41] <Barnabas> very handy- yes
[21:25] <xubuntu918> hello, anyone knows a exposé program that i can use on xubuntu,(compiz fails to redraw and keeps showing when is resizing  the windows) that i can use with my middle click?
[21:41] <xubuntu709> why is everyone so chatty?
[21:44] <Ruby_Pinch> hey, do you know if there is a global menu for xfce, i'm trying it but without it i feel somehow lost
[21:53] <Barnabas> Ruby_Pinch, uppermost left corner ?
