| David23400 | Hi guys , i have an old laptop which has 600 mhz cpu and 512mb RAM i wanted to know if xubuntu Alternate will run smoothly on it? | 01:59 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | depends on what you're doing with it, for basic stuff it should be fine, but things like flash really bog down a machine so that probably won't work so well | 02:01 |
| Unit193 | Alt I'd think would work, but I wouldn't expect the system to run smoothly. | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | it certainly won't be fast :) | 02:01 |
| David23400 | will it be faster than XP sp3? | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | not familiar with windows, so I don't know | 02:02 |
| David23400 | in the installation can i choose to make another drive on my PC ? | 02:02 |
| pleia2 | not sure what you mean, resize the other operating system you have installed? | 02:04 |
| psychogenik | anyone know how to make xubuntu boot on my system without having to boot with live usb? | 02:32 |
| psychogenik | anyone?? | 02:43 |
| David23400 | Can i try xubuntu wihtout installing it? | 03:21 |
| David23400 | on the boot | 03:21 |
| David23400 | ? | 03:21 |

| gry | After upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04, something appears to have changed my PATH variable. http://pastebin.ca/2177247 What could it have been and how do I fix it, please? | 06:33 |
| Unit193 | What's your /etc/environment say? | 06:35 |
| Unit193 | (Use cat foe example) | 06:35 |
| Unit193 | gry: You could also make sure it's not messed up in ~/.bash_profile or set it there manually as per http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/cant-execute-commands-that-is-in-sbin-with-normal-user-762399/ ? | 06:43 |
| gry | Sorry, I don't appear to have a ~/.bash_profile. I am using bash however. :-) | 06:48 |
| gry | The /etc/environment file contains this: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" | 06:52 |
| Unit193 | Try putting that in ~/.bash_profile (create), and relogin. (never had this issue myself though) | 06:54 |
| moetunes | ~/bin shouldn't be left out which /etc/environment does | 07:01 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, I have that added in my .zshrc and .bashrc files. | 07:03 |
| gry | Would we be able to find why it's missing? :-) | 07:16 |
| Unit193 | gry: Should be able to locate dpkg backups, and do a diff on them. | 07:48 |
| Unit193 | Might not be on the right track here, but sudo updatedb;locate dpkg-old | 07:49 |
| Unit193 | (And, I bet I'm wrong on that one, actually...) | 07:50 |
| gry | Unit193: Hmm, it appears the /usr/local/* entries disappeared from the $PATH. I could just try readding them manually, is your 12.04 $PATH like what I pasted from /etc/environment? | 07:53 |
| DeeKay | Hi! | 10:11 |
| jcklk_ | Hi, does Linux have an %appdata% folder like Windows does and how can I access it? | 11:14 |
| Sysi | in linux systems there are hidden folders .appname or .config/appname | 11:16 |
| Sysi | press ctrl H to see them in default file manager | 11:17 |
| jcklk_ | Sysi: I've found a .config folder but can't find the folder I need. | 11:23 |
| jcklk_ | Sysi: I've found it in a separate folder, thanks for your help. | 11:24 |
| aquix | hi, I have a small issue explained here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1695502 | 17:14 |
| aquix | anyone have anything similar? firefox 14 on xubuntu 12.04 | 17:14 |
| baizon | sorry never happend to me | 17:21 |
| baizon | imo its a addon problem | 17:21 |
| baizon | try to disable one by one | 17:21 |
| aquix | think it's compiz, because it disappear when I focus to another program then back. | 17:23 |
| === slow-motion_ is now known as slow-motion | ||
| v1adimir | it's Inception, if it just disappears and you don't know how you got there (like half way through a dream) | 19:41 |
| v1adimir | aquix: what's compiz doing on your xubuntu anyway?..:) | 19:42 |

| devtekalpha | Iv setup dual monitors with ubuntustudio but they both show the same thing. How can i make proper dual monitors (2 different screens) | 20:02 |
| TheSheep | devtekalpha: how did you setup them? | 20:03 |
| aquix | v1adimir I know compiz is heavy on the system, but I'm addicted to their scale feature. if I could get that in xfce, compiz would be gone | 20:10 |
| devtekalpha | I set them up with arandr | 20:11 |
| devtekalpha | I have them both in the mobo's gpu sockets.... When i put them in the nvidia pci card and used nvidia x server. The apply button was always grayed out | 20:12 |
| devtekalpha | Id like to have one monitor in the mobo and the secondary in the nvidia pci card | 20:13 |
| devtekalpha | I chose ubuntu session instead of xfce session if that makes a difference | 20:13 |
| devtekalpha | Is there a good guide of how to manually edit files for setting up dual monitors accross mobo and pci graphics sockets? | 20:14 |
| v1adimir | devtekalpha: sounds like 2 issues, nvidia-(x)config will work - unless you're not using the default drivers (I think I can remember that being the case, just switch to them, instead of using the x swat ppa) | 20:17 |
| mongy | compiz aint that heavy really. it's a lot faster than xfce own compositing (for me) and has those cool plugins to make gestures of. not using it in my current setup but I like it still. | 20:17 |
| v1adimir | devtekalpha: and as far as using the die graphics, it needs to be enabled at boot - right? (which isn't the case by default) | 20:18 |
| devtekalpha | You mean the bios? I have uefi bios.. Couldnt see anything about multiple monitors there | 20:19 |
| devtekalpha | Ill try configuring drivers too thanks | 20:20 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| v1adimir | devtekalpha: not the bios, something with the kernel | 20:51 |
| v1adimir | default install only loads the card if it's plugged in (I forget where to look / what it is) | 20:51 |
| v1adimir | sry :s | 20:51 |
| devtekalpha | Ok looks like i have a bit of research to do. Thanks for the pointers ill look these things up | 20:56 |
| v1adimir | cool, hope it helps | 20:57 |
| v1adimir | (i'd look it up, but the system is crawling atm - installing visual studio and a bunch of other stuff active) | 20:57 |
| xubuntu794 | hi | 22:20 |
| xubuntu794 | anyone knows how to remap keyboard to use one button to increase or decrease volume? | 22:20 |
| TheSheep | one button to both decrease and increase at the same time? | 22:21 |
| xubuntu794 | of course not | 22:21 |
| TheSheep | then I don't understand the question | 22:22 |
| xubuntu794 | thath would be too much | 22:22 |
| xubuntu794 | one for increase and another for decrease | 22:22 |
| xubuntu794 | :) | 22:22 |
| TheSheep | you could make them run amixer with the right parameters | 22:22 |
| xubuntu794 | there was a command to add a shortcut but i dont remember it | 22:23 |
| xubuntu794 | since i am beginner with linux and i had too reinstall it | 22:23 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu794: you can add it in keyboard settings | 22:23 |
| xubuntu794 | ...yes with amixer...but i dont know the line | 22:23 |
| TheSheep | amixer set Master 1- | 22:24 |
| TheSheep | and | 22:24 |
| TheSheep | amixer set Master 1+ | 22:24 |
