[00:51] <ubu> sorry my internet connection cuts in and out: did my question go through
[01:18] <meh_> Does anyone have any suggestions for improving boot times? Mine is between 1 and 2 minutes. I tried downloading bootchart, I tried the grub and concurrency shell alterations...
[01:36] <heoyea> disable some startup junk
[03:05] <Pezikrypt> 1000 Mb/s <-- Is that right with my Networking?

[05:45] <cje_> Hi, I would like to install Xubuntu to a CD, but my CDs are only 700 MB, and Xubuntu is 715 MB of ISO.  What should I do?
[05:54] <holstein> cje_: USB stick, or dvd
[05:56] <cje_> holstein, thx, no DVD on the machine, and I tried USB, but my Dell Dimension 4400 wouldn't boot from USB
[05:57] <holstein> cje_: i use plop to boot USB sticks on legacy gear
[05:57] <holstein> http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/index.html
[05:59] <cje_> holstein, I set up the BIOS to boot from 5 different sources, with the hard drive being the last, and the "removable dev" being the first
[05:59] <holstein> cje_: you can make a bootable cd with plop that boots and allows you to boot the USB stick.. or you can use the minimal iso's to install minimal ubuntu and add what you like
[05:59] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[06:00] <cje_> holstein, Wow, thanks.
[06:02] <holstein> cje_: you have to create the plop iso.. here is mine https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1172535/temp/plopboot.iso ,not that i would trust every iso that is linked on the IRC
[06:03] <cje_> holstein, thx for that ISO.
[06:04] <cje_> holstein, how does the ISO work?   Does it bring up a GUI, or is it all terminal stuff?
[06:04] <holstein> cje_: a text screen *is* a GUI
[06:04] <holstein> cje_: its has some animations though.. its slick, and does what you want
[06:04] <holstein> cje_: it looks like this... it'll fit on a CD and boot a USB stick on your hardware
[06:05] <holstein> cje_: try it, and if you dont like it, i'll give you a refund
[06:05] <cje_> lol !
[06:06] <cje_> holstein, I am going to bring up xchat on my notebook now so I can chat with you while I do it.
[06:31] <cje_> holstein, I ran out of CDs.  Is it possible to put that plop iso on a 3.5 floppy disk?
[06:41] <hmsck> hello,  how can i change my wireless from *G mode to *B mode please?
[06:57] <cje__> holstein, I tried rebooting with that plop iso CD in my CD ROM, didn't boot
[08:15] <Guest3960> hey I have tryed installing the nvidia accelerated graphics driver in jockey and when I reboot I get blank screen I have a GTX660ti

[09:47] <S0210> Hi! I've just started the system upgrade to 12.04. After the first reboot I get the following message keys: keep on waitng S = skip M = manually fix. What do I need to do to go ?!? (Skip simply switches off my monitor and nothing happens.)
[10:23] <S0210> Any idea? Any suggestion?
[11:05] <alegen> hello. is there a way to limit the number of displayed tray icons in xfce?
[11:20] <ochosi> alegen: the size of your monitor is the limit
[13:12] <SapphireDensetsu> I'm going to be meeting with my school 2 days from now.  In addition to the IEP I'm having, they wanted a private demonstration of Linux, and it's advantages over Windows, and rationale to migrate their 5,000+ computers to the system.  What should I show them, and what should I pitch as my argument.
[17:05] <nantou> I need a log to read all print output of the terminal
[17:05] <nantou> is there any command for that?
