ufo2222How much space does a full install take up on a hard disk?02:28
holsteinufo2222: i would want 6 or 8 gb02:29
holsteinnot sure if you can fit in 4 gb's anymore or not02:30
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD is a good option.. start minimal and then02:32

holstein!purexfce02:32
ubottuIf you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce »02:32
holsteinof course, you'll just be adding what you want to it instead of changing a current xubuntu install02:33
ufo2222How is the hardware detection?02:38
holsteinufo2222: with xubuntu? any current hardware made that allows the linux community to support it, and is not restricted by licensing is detected and supported well02:39
ufo2222Well, i got an old thinkpad, model  a22m 2628 to be specific, and i would like to know if it would fit the hardware02:42
holsteinufo2222: try it live and see how it works.. its really challenging for me or anyone to say first hand since its quite impossible to predict the exact harware in the unit02:43
ufo2222Thanks02:43
holsteinufo2222: not all model a22m 2628's will necessarily have the *exact* same harware or chipsets02:43
holsteini usually load up a live CD and test the sound and networking.. maybe run lspci in a terminal.. see that it sleeps and wakes if that is important02:44

simpleuserHello there. I'm using Xubuntu 12.10, and when i right click on a rar and do "extract here" and nothing happens10:15
simpleuserWhich extractor du you use ?10:15
simpleuserand which one should I use ? :-(10:15
TheSheepsimpleuser: I think that rar is not installed by default, you need to install it with 'apt-get install rar'10:17
TheSheepwith sudo, of course10:17
simpleuser"unrar x YYY.rar" seems to be working, but i'm looking for an extractor integrated to thunar10:17
simpleuserTheSheep, no change with rar installed ;)10:18
simpleuserIs there a way to see why there's a problem ? In var log maybe ?10:18
TheSheepwell, worked for me, so can't really help10:18
simpleuserok no prob TheSheep, thanks anyway10:18
TheSheepyou can try starting the file roller from terminal and looking if it shows any error messages when you try to extract that file10:18
TheSheep(or just check your .xsessionerrors file)10:19
simpleuserTheSheep, weird. It seems it works when i open it with fileroller (even with just a double click in thunar) and then extract it. It's just the right click and "extract here" which doesn't work10:21
koegssimpleuser: did do you an "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" already?10:23
koegsi think i had a similar problem some time ago and it was fixed with an update10:23
simpleuseroh ok thanks koegs. I'm trying this.10:24
simpleuserkoegs, great, it worked, thanks :)10:48

zodiakanyone ever seen a case where the mouse in X doesn't select when you click left and drag ?18:20
zodiakit only started happening about 50 minutes ago.. and a -15/-9 on kpsmoused does nada to help18:21
TheSheepwhat is kpsmoused?18:21
zodiakkernel mouse driver18:21
TheSheepwhat does xev say?18:22
zodiakwell, the daemon for the kernel mouse .. but.. you get the idea18:22
zodiakwell, xev see's the button click and button release18:22
zodiak*scratches head* weird18:23
TheSheepso nothing wrong with mouse, I guess, I would check the application18:23
TheSheepmaybe it has some mode or something18:23
zodiakTheSheep, this is across the whole of X18:23
zodiaknot jst '1 app' sadly18:23
TheSheepany fancy input methods?18:23
zodiaknot that I am aware of ;)18:23
zodiakno, no xinput or anything for hiragana/katakana18:24
zodiakas I said, it literally started happening about 50 mins ago.. I think maybe chrome has gotten the drag+drop "stuck"18:24
zodiakI don't know how else to explain it.. it's.. yeah. I haven't seen this in years of linux use.. weird.18:25
zodiakwell.. shivver my timbers18:28

ubottuUbuntu bug 402892 in rapidsvn (Ubuntu) "Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode" [Undecided,Confirmed]18:28
zodiakthat's an interesting one.. it appears to be some sort of intersection with X and apps using DnD18:29
TheSheepcan't wait to see X go, really18:31
TheSheepthe level of complexity is just...18:31
SpaceAi cant find the +mac version for xubuntu any help?18:45
holsteinSpaceA: what are you looking for?18:45
zodiakTheSheep, agreed.. that said.. I will miss starting apps remotely on other peoples screens ;)18:46
SpaceAholstein, the +mac image for xubuntu 12.0418:46
bazhangSpaceA, the intel mac version?18:47
SpaceAbazhang, sir yes sir18:47
* holstein is unaware of the term "+mac"18:47
bazhangnot sure if they have that for xubuntu. just the regular amd64 should do18:48
holsteinhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/12.04/release/18:48
holstein"as well as newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors"18:48
SpaceAyou are the man holstein18:49
SpaceAthanks!18:49
louigihey fellas! is there any app at all for xubuntu 12.04 that can do a screencast and record sound from the app?19:21
bazhang!info kazam19:22
ubottukazam (source: kazam): Easy to use application for recording on-screen action. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.6-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 94 kB, installed size 824 kB19:22
holsteinlouigi: i have used gtk-recordmydesktop - Graphical frontend for recordMyDesktop screencast tool19:22
louigiholstein, problem is - no sound recording, only from mic. Since 9.10 jack support is broken.19:23
holsteinlouigi: the mic *is* sound19:23
louigiholstein, yeah, but I am asking record sound FROM app :)19:24
holsteinlouigi: if you just want to add music afterwards, i would just addd music afterwards19:24
louigiubottu, will look at kazam19:24
ubottulouigi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)19:24
louigiholstein, I actually want to screencast a game19:24
holsteinlouigi: check out what bazhang has suggested, and maybe try #ubuntu and specify what you are wanting to get audio from19:24
louigiholstein, bazhang okay guys, thx.19:25
louigiEnjoying xubuntu so far19:25
bazhangnp19:25
louigiAre there any resources that show research into how fast xubuntu is compared to usual gnome or unity?19:26
holsteinlouigi: its the same hardware.. doesnt realy make the machine any "faster".. might seem more lean19:26
holsteinlouigi: you can load them up live and test and see for yourself19:26
theenduserfwiw, Xubuntu makes mine a lean machine :)19:27
louigiholstein, righto, I apologize for inaccurate use of terms. I mean - low on RAM and filesystem and that sort of stuff19:27
louigiWikipedia says Xubuntu at some point stopped being a low resource distro19:28
bazhanglouigi, phoronix did a survey a bit ago measuring xfce4 vs gnome19:28
bazhanglouigi, for truly lighter, you'd want lubuntu19:28
louigibazhang, I am no in need for lighter, but now that I've embraced xubuntu, I wanna know all about it. I really enjoy how it looks.19:29
louigiI also learned how the panels worked and configured it to my liking19:29
louigiguys, yet another small question - in my Main Menu settings not all entries seem to be editable.19:35
louigiFor instance, I have Wine installed, but it does not appear there and so I cannot move it up or down19:35
louigithe menu entry I mean19:35
louigibazhang, tried kazam. Eventually I found which sound device to choose to get sound from actual apps and not from mic.19:52
louigiThank you very much for advice19:52
bazhangwelcome19:52
