| benjo | Sorry, let me rephrase.. Does anyone know why I would get severe mouse lag after waking the machine up from idle? | 00:10 |
| LessPlastics | Just recently installed Xubuntu 12.04 on a machine with 4096 MiB of RAM. How come Xubuntu only recognizes 3889 MiB? | 01:29 |
| LessPlastics | (x86-64 arch was used) | 01:29 |
| holstein | LessPlastics: that sounds correct to me.. could be some shared with graphics | 01:34 |
| GridCube | how do i do this: set LANG and LC_ALL to C | 01:35 |
| GridCube | ? | 01:35 |
| Murtaugh | LessPlastics: you likely have a cheap ram card, it's capacity is listed based on units of 1000, not 1024 | 02:37 |
| LessPlastics | Murtaugh: It's not | 02:38 |
| Murtaugh | that works out to 17mb above the number you gave, so some is likely being reserved for hardware or video use | 02:38 |
| LessPlastics | Murtaugh: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231121 | 02:38 |
| LessPlastics | Ah | 02:38 |
| LessPlastics | I see | 02:38 |
| Murtaugh | converting 1000 based to 1024, i got 3906MiB | 02:39 |
| Murtaugh | it seems to be rather hit and miss whether ram is listed with MiB or MB (I call it drive maker's megabyte :P) | 02:40 |
| LessPlastics | hahaha | 02:41 |
| Murtaugh | for megabytes, MiB is about 95% of MB, for GiB it's only about 93% | 02:43 |
| Murtaugh | 90% fo TiB >_< | 02:47 |
| codemaniac | some cool xubu themes from repos , anyone suggest ? | 03:33 |
| GridCube | Murtaugh, thats actually SI compatible unity "mega"byte | 03:36 |
| xubuntu555 | Hello. Can someone enlighten me as to the difference between Xubuntu desktop vs. alternate? | 06:28 |
| pleia2 | alternate is a text (ncurses) based installer | 06:30 |
| pleia2 | typically used for systems which can't boot the graphical one for whatever reason | 06:31 |
| xubuntu555 | thanks ever so much | 06:31 |
| pleia2 | sure :) | 06:31 |
| xubuntu555 | Does anyone know of an interactive environment that teaches UNIX? | 06:31 |
| xubuntu555 | Like a MUDD for learning unix? | 06:31 |
| xubuntu555 | "Okay, not try doing blablablabla" | 06:32 |
| xubuntu555 | "Now you will learn how to copy files. Type 'cp blah blah..." | 06:32 |
| xubuntu555 | Exercises in a totally immersive environment that is non-distracting by default. | 06:32 |
| xubuntu555 | I get to the prompt and I don't know what to do. | 06:33 |
| xubuntu555 | I don't know what the commands are and how they work and the man is too cryptic and filled with jargon | 06:33 |
| xubuntu555 | There are no simple examples. | 06:33 |
| pleia2 | I think you'll find most of us here are linux users, so this isn't really the place to ask about unix | 06:33 |
| xubuntu555 | Let me rephrase the question then. | 06:34 |
| xubuntu555 | An livecd that boots into a shell | 06:34 |
| xubuntu555 | that then teaches you how to use all of the text commands, or at least the important ones | 06:34 |
| pleia2 | you're looking for tutorials on learning how to use the shell in, what, xubuntu? | 06:34 |
| xubuntu555 | So that you can become a serious user of the text shell | 06:34 |
| xubuntu555 | I need a tight loop of feedback | 06:35 |
| pleia2 | if you want someone to teach you, you may consider looking at your local university | 06:35 |
| xubuntu555 | I have no money. | 06:35 |
| pleia2 | a lot have introduction to linux classes which will teach the basics | 06:35 |
| xubuntu555 | Can't afford it and I can't go at an arbitrary pace. | 06:35 |
| pleia2 | not sure where you'll find someone to hand hold you through learning for free | 06:36 |
| pleia2 | there are plenty of online tutorials and videos | 06:36 |
| pleia2 | just google for "linux class" or "shell tutorial" | 06:36 |
| pleia2 | but I think most people learn by knowing what they want to do (copy a file, upgrade from the command line) and doing a google search for how to do that specific thing | 06:37 |
| xubuntu555 | Anyone here have any experience with BSD? | 06:43 |
| pleia2 | xubuntu555: please use #xubuntu-offtopic for non-xubuntu support questions :) | 06:45 |
| xubuntu555 | Thank you. I'm out. | 06:46 |
| jackk | Hello, can someone tell me if this Linux has flash preinstalled? I am a huge fan of porn and would like to know. | 10:51 |
| knome | jackk, please notice this is strictly a family-friendly channel. | 10:53 |
| jackk | knome: Is it? | 10:53 |
| jackk | I am very sorry. | 10:53 |
| knome | jackk, and no, xubuntu doesn't come preinstalled with flash because the license issues | 10:53 |

| tech1 | i have ubuntustudio which uses xfce4, i put "emacs.antialias: false" in the file [~/.Xdefaults] and run the command "xrdb ~/.Xdefaults" in my terminal but it has no effect | 13:22 |
| tech1 | and yes i restarted emacs | 13:23 |
| tech1 | oh wait | 13:25 |
| tech1 | hmm still dosnt work | 13:27 |
| holstein | in what way?.. what are you wanting? | 13:27 |
| tech1 | im wanting to disable antialiasing in emacs, by putting "emacs.antialias: false" in the file [~.Xdefaults]... which i am told will do this | 13:28 |
| tech1 | because emacs takes the OS's full antialiasing -but without the OS's "hinting" which makes it very blurry | 13:29 |
| Sysi | GUI emacs? | 13:29 |
| tech1 | i can turn off antialiasing in my OS completley which makes the text inside the programs look fine, but then the window/program titles with random font sizes are unreadable | 13:30 |
| tech1 | yeh gui emacs23 | 13:30 |
| Sysi | tech1: I'd try putting it to ~/.Xresources too and logging out and back in | 13:33 |
| Sysi | tech1: I found this line to put in there: emacs*font: FontName-12:antialias=false | 13:35 |
| tech1 | ok thanks ill try them | 13:40 |

| silverghost | guys i have a funny question why not make lubuntu based of debian directly instead of ubuntu :D | 15:48 |
| baizon | silverghost: why not? :) | 15:49 |
| baizon | silverghost: ubuntu = preconfigured, just install and use | 15:49 |
| silverghost | i mean xubuntu xD | 15:49 |
| silverghost | but people have many problems with ubuntu as a base | 15:49 |
| baizon | on debian you have to configure your system | 15:49 |
| baizon | silverghost: who has problems? | 15:50 |
| baizon | i had many problems with linux mint and debian | 15:50 |
| baizon | xubuntu = zero | 15:50 |
| silverghost | i think if xubuntu choose debian as a base it can become a top 10 distro | 15:50 |
| baizon | but debian will use xfce as default DE now | 15:51 |
| * drc searches his pockets for troll biscuits...finds none :( | 15:51 | |
| silverghost | bcoz xfce is the best desktop env of 2012 :) | 15:51 |
| baizon | so we will see if your right | 15:51 |
| Sysi | xubuntu is based on debian, there's just load of ubuntu guys packaging newer software | 15:51 |
| silverghost | nope i mean base it of debian stable | 15:52 |
| Sysi | debian stable is old, duh | 15:52 |
| silverghost | ubuntu - sid unstable branch od debian | 15:52 |
| baizon | silverghost: debian stable is to old | 15:52 |
| silverghost | backports :) | 15:52 |
| silverghost | i have quit using ubuntu since 11.04 lol | 15:53 |
| baizon | silverghost: xfce stable on debian is 4.6 | 15:53 |
| baizon | and we got 4.10 right now ;) | 15:53 |
| silverghost | newest always does not mean good ;) | 15:53 |
| silverghost | don't take it otherwise am just giving an opinion :) | 15:54 |
| baizon | of course | 15:54 |
| Sysi | glad there's debian for you and xubuntu for the rest of us | 15:54 |
| silverghost | actually am angry with ubuntu and its community :) | 15:54 |
| silverghost | i have nothing against xubuntu coz i like xfce :) | 15:55 |
| baizon | how come? | 15:55 |
| Sysi | we're kinda part of ubuntu community | 15:55 |
| silverghost | ubuntu irc - chaos | 15:55 |
| silverghost | ubuntu - arrogant fanboys | 15:55 |
| silverghost | xD | 15:55 |
| baizon | that are two different things | 15:56 |
| baizon | ubuntu as OS and ubuntu as community | 15:56 |

| silverghost | no i gice u an example when ubuntu was no.1 in distrowatch few years ago lol they were happy now min overtook them they bash distrowatch lol | 15:56 |
| baizon | distrowatch is broken | 15:57 |
| baizon | ubuntu got more users than mint | 15:57 |
| silverghost | even u see google trends mint is still the no.1 distro | 15:57 |
| Sysi | this is getting badly offtopic | 15:57 |
| baizon | indeed Sysi, im out then :) | 15:57 |
| silverghost | do u have offtopic | 15:58 |
| recon_lap | who cares, they all work :) | 15:58 |

| xubuntu609 | a lil question guys | 17:08 |
| xubuntu147 | hello? | 18:03 |
| SkippersBoss | How can we help you today | 18:04 |
| xubuntu147 | I have xubuntu 12.04. I've been trying to change the text in etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf but I can't save the changes. Perhaps I don't have the right permissions, or something. Any ideas? | 18:05 |
| drc | gksudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 18:06 |
| xubuntu147 | Thanks. That worked. But it doesn't work when I use Thunar. I wonder why that is? | 18:08 |
| drc | You are using thunar as a user not using sudo :) | 18:08 |
| drc | If you did gksudo thunar, it would work | 18:09 |
| xubuntu147 | That kind of makes sense! Can you suggest documentation for a bigger picture? | 18:10 |
| drc | You want a linux primer? | 18:10 |
| xubuntu147 | Free, if possible. | 18:10 |
| drc | Actually I don't have a URL handy...Anybody? | 18:11 |
| David-A | xubuntu147: do you know about file permissions in unix and linux? someone owns a file, and the owner can decide what other persons may do with it. normally you owns the file in /home/yourname and "root" owns system files, in /etc, /bin, etc. | 18:11 |
| xubuntu147 | I can sort of follow that, but I need to chew it over for a while. Thanks! I'll google the primer. | 18:12 |
| xubuntu147 | bye | 18:15 |
