| xubuntu655 | greeting! trying to determine which version to download for a netbook.... any help would be appreciated asus 1015px | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Noskcaj | xubuntu655, xubuntu 12.10 amd64 is my recommendation, you could use netboot to install it if it has not much ram | 00:07 |
| Noskcaj | xubuntu655, it will work fine, just google what to do to help the ssd in ubuntu | 00:12 |
| xubuntu655 | excellent! thanks for the support.. off to install new SSD and boot 12.10 from SD or USB and see how it goes.... | 00:12 |
| guest-8kYw9S | I entered a command in terminal, startx-- -nolisten tcp and now when I try to login, I see a black screen saying something about the X window system and then get logged out | 01:07 |
| guest-8kYw9S | I never actually login, I just see the screen, then get back to the login screen. how can I fix this? | 01:07 |
| CrazyZurfer | I've got a problem, when the screensaver starts when I'm in full screen mode (for example watching a movie), then when I move the mouse, the computer freezes with the whole screen in grey | 01:09 |
| CrazyZurfer | every time it happens I've to restart the pc | 01:09 |
| donnie | Does anyone here know how to step by step set up the google android sdk? All I need are the google android drivers | 04:21 |
| holstein | donnie: i would eleborate on "all i need" but i would just follow a guide | 04:24 |
| donnie | Holstein. Tried the guides. The only thing I need from the sdk is the google drivers for usb. I do not need to write or code android programs | 04:25 |
| holstein | donnie: i just plug my phone in, and it works | 04:25 |
| donnie | holstein. Mines not that nice to play.. I have the ZTE Avail.. It doesn't come with usb support | 04:26 |
| holstein | donnie: what are you trying to do? it should show as a USB devic | 04:30 |
| holstein | e | 04:30 |
| donnie | holstein. It should do a lot of things but this phone does not. I have it connected right now. I have usb debugging turned on. Nothing shows up | 04:31 |
| holstein | donnie: it should show up as a hard drive or something.. look in the options | 04:32 |
| donnie | holstein. It does not show up as anything. It does nothing. Therefore I think I need to install the google android usb drivers | 04:33 |
| holstein | donnie: you shouldnt have to.. what about in lsusb ? | 04:33 |
| donnie | holstein. No idea. How would I check | 04:33 |
| holstein | donnie: i would open a terminal and type 'lsusb'.... feel free to pastebin that | 04:34 |
| donnie | I just found out howto root it. with the keypad... | 04:34 |
| holstein | donnie: i would try the android support channels for info on rooting your phone | 04:36 |
| donnie | holstein. I just rooted it I found out how. Now I have to find out if I can install aps from download to sd card since I'm between carriers | 04:36 |
| holstein | donnie: i would just pop into a proper support channel.. otherwise we could talk about it in the OT channel | 04:38 |
| donnie | holstein. I'm gonna. Thank you though for trying to help | 04:38 |

| leexu | huh question well i am installing xubuntu 12.10 i think and am trying to download the latest flashplayer which I assume is in chromium? | 10:19 |
| koegs | leexu: if you want to have built-in flash, you have to use "google chrome", not "chromium-browser" | 10:23 |
| leexu | ah thank you good to know | 10:23 |
| koegs | or you just install "flashplugin-installer" | 10:24 |
| leexu | i don't think i am up to installs yet | 10:24 |
| leexu | i have installed chrome before 'by the menu' but that's about it | 10:25 |
| leexu | i'm sort of a old hater of microsoft ;-) | 10:27 |
| TheSheep | chrome has flash built in, chromium doesn't | 10:27 |

| antithesis | Hello | 15:40 |
| antithesis | Can anyone name examples of how Xubuntu is more user-friendly than Debian with Xfce? | 15:40 |
| bazhang | antithesis, what do you mean. | 15:42 |
| antithesis | Well, what are the differences between the two in general? | 15:44 |
| antithesis | Isn't a major feature of Ubuntu that it's out-of-the-box? | 15:44 |
| bazhang | not really | 15:45 |
| TheSheep | antithesis: the only difference is in what applications are installed by default and what desktop environment is used | 15:45 |
| bazhang | debian and ubuntu both have ways of adding propietary codecs to play mp3, movies, etc | 15:45 |
| TheSheep | antithesis: xubuntu uses xfce4, which seem to be well liked by people who are accustomed to "traditional" interfaces | 15:46 |
| antithesis | Are there no differences in supported hardware, for example? | 15:46 |
| TheSheep | antithesis: no, under the hood they are exactly the same | 15:46 |
| TheSheep | antithesis: it's the same base system with a different set of default apps | 15:47 |
| antithesis | So if Ubuntu can run Steam, so can Debian? | 15:48 |
| Pici | Between (X)Ubuntu and Debian there are different kernel patches though. | 15:48 |
| bazhang | ask in #debian about running steam | 15:48 |
| antithesis | It was just an example | 15:49 |
| antithesis | If they're really the same under the hood, what do these mean?: http://i.imgur.com/zXARw.png | 15:50 |
| Pici | What is that? | 15:52 |
| antithesis | A dialog you see when you try to download Ubuntu | 15:53 |
| antithesis | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/questions?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=latest | 15:53 |
| Pici | Like I said, we may provide kernel patches that Debian does not.. or work to write kernel patches. | 15:54 |
| Pici | I think TheSheep was speaking about the difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu | 15:54 |
| antithesis | Well, could you give an example of those kernel patches? What does the end user notice? | 15:55 |
| TheSheep | Pici: ah, right, I missed the beginning and just assumed it was that | 15:55 |
| TheSheep | antithesis: sorry | 15:55 |
| antithesis | Does it make a big difference | 15:55 |
| antithesis | TheSheep np | 15:55 |
| TheSheep | still, all the patches that Ubuntu has are free for taking, just Debian doesn't incorporate some of them because of ideological reasons | 15:56 |
| antithesis | Because of reasons? | 15:56 |
| TheSheep | antithesis: Debian has a very strict set of rules about what gets included | 15:57 |
| antithesis | Lol I'm kidding | 15:57 |
| antithesis | What I meant was that that's a pleonasm | 15:57 |
| TheSheep | antithesis: for example, they didn't want Firefox because its logo is a registered trademark | 15:57 |
| TheSheep | antithesis: you have to excuse me, English is not my native language and I don't know how to better say that the resons are ideological | 15:58 |
| TheSheep | reasons* | 15:58 |
| antithesis | ofc | 15:59 |
| antithesis | But nobody has an example of a patch Ubuntu has that Debian doesn't? | 15:59 |

| Guest77791 | On my xubuntu 12.10 desktop, I want to: 1. use smaller desktop ions, 2. change the menu structure. Can anyone show me where this is explained? | 22:58 |
| holstein | Guest77791: | 23:02 |
| holstein | http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/preferences | 23:02 |
| holstein | Guest77791: http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-graphically-edit-xfcexubuntu.html | 23:03 |
| Guest77791 | :) Thanks, holstein. Also, I have installed a Ruby Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the Bluefish HTML editor. The latter appears in the 'Development' sub-menu, which was created when I installed Bluefish, but the former is not to be found there or anywhere else? Does anyone know why this might be? | 23:07 |
| holstein | Guest77791: i didnt think that was a GUI | 23:08 |
| holstein | Guest77791: i think that is command line | 23:08 |
| holstein | Guest77791: i could be wrong.. you'd need to elaborate as wo what ruby ide you speak of and where you got it | 23:09 |
| Guest77791 | My "Ubuntu Software Centre" graphical interface, used instead of apt-get, ... on this occasion, calls it "Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby (default version)". I can't find a shorter name. | 23:11 |
| holstein | Guest77791: its not a GUI afaik | 23:12 |
| Guest77791 | The rfuby ide is not a GUI so therefore does not appear on any menu? So I need to open a terminal? | 23:14 |
| holstein | Guest77791: if you want to use the tooll you downloaded that doesnt have a GUI nor a menu entry, thats where i would start | 23:14 |
| holstein | you might want something like http://arcadia.rubyforge.org/ which im sure there is something in the repos... | 23:15 |
| Guest77791 | :) I was at a dead-end only half an hour ago and now have a large number of promising paths to choose from. Thank you, again, holstein. (A good touch typing tutor may help here I have Klavaro). | 23:20 |
| holstein | Guest77791: enjoy! | 23:22 |
| Guest77791 | I'll let u know how it goes. | 23:23 |
| Guest77791 | The tabbed icon form at main_menu->settings_manager->desktop allowed me to reduce the desktop icon size from 32px to 24px. (I could have reduced it to 8px. Now I have to find how to also reduce the text font size -- right now not as easy to find as I had expected.) | 23:43 |
| Guest77791 | There's a "Use custom size" field, only active if the check-box in front of it is checked. I reduced the font to 6px :) | 23:47 |
| Guest77791 | On another topic, can anyone show me how to 1. create a desktop background with a paint program like gimp? Install it? What I want is a desktop that has multiple faint images of a QWERTY keyboard. | 23:51 |
| Guest77791 | ... I meant: show me where to find the information. I can start search in through the gimp online manual myself, unless anyone can point directly to what I want. | 23:53 |
