| knome | it will run... smoothly? i suppose that depends what you're going to do and what you think is smooth | 00:00 |

| iwr | browsing, 8+tabs in chrome, maybe word editor open? :) | 00:01 |
| pleia2 | my netbook is 1.6ghz + 1G of ram and it's quite usable, except for flash videos (tend to end up being a bit choppy) | 00:03 |
| David-A | iwr: that may work. the biggest memory eater nowadays are web-browsers, both chromium and firefox. but 8 not too heavy tabs should be fine. high-definition video will probably not be smooth with an old graphics card. | 00:04 |
| iwr | no, its mostly basic work | 00:05 |
| pleia2 | libreoffice will load slowly, but it shouldn't be a problem once it's launched | 00:05 |
| iwr | excellent | 00:05 |
| pleia2 | (I use it on said netbook for Impress presentations) | 00:05 |
| iwr | thank you guys for help | 00:05 |
| genii-around | pleia2: I have a similar spec netbook ( Acer D260 ), I highly recommend some cheap SSD for it. After I swapped the drive without changing anything else, everything just zips along. | 00:22 |
| pleia2 | oh right, mine does have an ssd and I'm sure that helps | 00:24 |
| Unit193 | Hrm, so I'm the only one that has had some issues with 1G ram? Swapping out was a killer, I optimized firefox and then my kernel also added zswap support which also helped. | 00:27 |

| genii-around | Unit193: My machine ran like a dog. Out of kubuntu, regular ubuntu, and xubuntu only xubuntu was marginally usable. Kubuntu would take 5-6 minutes to load to a usable desktop. Swapping the drive for an SSD took that down to under a minute. Although I'm mostly using xubuntu and lubuntu on it now, both which zip along. I may bump RAM up to 2G | 00:31 |
| pleia2 | I use chrome (firefox is leaner now, but not good enough) | 00:33 |
| pleia2 | I used the default gnome2 in 8.04 when I first got it, but then switched to xubuntu | 00:34 |
| al___ | Does anyone have any experience trying to load the scanner on an HP8600 all-in-one wireless? | 02:01 |

| AneX | im on old laptop | 02:14 |
| Unit193 | Depends on your chipset. | 02:14 |
| AneX | im on intel centrino 1.4 ghz | 02:16 |
| Unit193 | What's the wifi card? | 02:16 |
| AneX | wifi is intel pro/wireless 2200bg | 02:17 |
| Unit193 | AneX: Should be good. | 02:18 |

| AneX | thx, where in xubuntu will i find wireless connections for future knoledge | 02:21 |

| zruty | apt-get is constantly coming back with some error. I tried other sources, but same thing. What can I do? (unable to locate package, or has no installation candidate) | 06:44 |
| Unit193 | And you did apt-get update? | 06:46 |
| Unit193 | Can you paste the exact error, or pastebin if long? | 06:46 |
| zruty | Oh, bl*st... I knew I forgot something... gee what a beginner's mistake... | 06:47 |
| zruty | so sorry to bother you! | 06:47 |
| zruty | But thanks! | 06:47 |

| koegs | or "which xflock4" :) | 11:43 |
| jonas____ | alright so in xfce 4.8 there was an app named xflock, that was a small icon used to lock the screen | 11:43 |
| jonas____ | that paclkage is missing in quantal | 11:43 |
| jonas____ | koegs its missing in quantal | 11:43 |

| koegs | badpie: only for support, #xubuntu-offtopic is meant for chatting | 16:33 |
| badpie | Ok, sorry. | 16:33 |
| badpie | Then riddle me this: Ubuntu 12.10 was too much for my netbook, even when i log in with the xfce env. Is Xubuntu going to be any different? | 16:34 |
| mikodo | sorry, test | 18:04 |
| tjingboem | it takes a long time before thunar finds my disks. What is happening? | 18:26 |

| dr_dan | hi. I have acquired a Dell Inspiron e1405 (Intel Core Duo @1.6 Ghz) with just 1GB of RAM. is xubuntu 12.10 going to be too slow? | 20:08 |
| dr_dan | go ahead with answer. i will brb. | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | too slow for what? | 20:10 |
| dr_dan | oh hi! | 20:10 |
| dr_dan | well its for my 12 year son. he just wanted a machine for online (web) games like miniclips | 20:10 |
| dr_dan | flash based i think | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | most should work fine, but some are written in a horrible way and need quite some computing power | 20:11 |
| dr_dan | yeah i thought so | 20:11 |
| dr_dan | so should i find a slightly more powerful laptop? | 20:11 |
| TheSheep | I would give it a try | 20:12 |
| TheSheep | if you can | 20:12 |
| dr_dan | the thing is 6 years old i think | 20:12 |
| dr_dan | ok. go with 11.10? or 12.10 verison | 20:12 |
| dr_dan | or it doesnt matter | 20:12 |
| TheSheep | my parents are using a worse computer with ubuntu | 20:12 |
| TheSheep | but they mostly read news and use openoffice | 20:12 |
| TheSheep | shouldn't matter much | 20:13 |
| dr_dan | ok. | 20:13 |
| dr_dan | thank TS | 20:13 |
| dr_dan | have a good one | 20:13 |

| hhhzzzain | who has libreoffice on their xubuntu? | 20:40 |
| hhhzzzain | gridcube, do you have libreoffice on your xubuntu? | 20:41 |
| GridCube | yes | 20:41 |
| hhhzzzain | which version is it? | 20:41 |
| knome | hhhzzzain, please don't ping random people | 20:42 |
| knome | hhhzzzain, even if GridCube replied, it's not good manners | 20:42 |
| GridCube | good point | 20:43 |
| hhhzzzain | you just joined so It is a good time to ask. | 20:44 |
| pleia2 | hhhzzzain: do you have a specific problem/question in mind? a lot of us install libreoffice on xubuntu but it's hard to know how to help if you don't ask ;) | 20:44 |
| pleia2 | and knowing what version of Xubuntu you're running and ask about is helpful too | 20:44 |
| hhhzzzain | my question: which version of libreoffice is the lastest using the ubuntu software centre + updates? | 20:44 |
| GridCube | LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) | 20:44 |
| knome | hhhzzzain, possibly true, but it doesn't make pinging random people good manners. | 20:45 |
| pleia2 | hhhzzzain: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libreoffice | 20:45 |
| hhhzzzain | really, if you are idle, make you status idle, otherwise don't expect people to know that you are busy. | 20:47 |
| GridCube | hhhzzzain, its not like that, but please dont enter to an argument here | 20:47 |
| pleia2 | hhhzzzain: that's not really how it works :) | 20:47 |
| GridCube | lets just all move on please | 20:47 |
| pleia2 | hhhzzzain: the link I gave gives current versions for recent versions of ubuntu, does that answer your question? | 20:48 |
| hhhzzzain | yes (but it is also listed if you go to ubuntu software centre). I wanted to know that through "check for updates" it will update to 3.6.5 (current version on the website). | 20:49 |
| pleia2 | yes | 20:50 |
| hhhzzzain | so the current version on ubuntu is 3.6.5? | 20:51 |
| hhhzzzain | or 3.6.2? | 20:51 |
| hhhzzzain | so I should download from libreoffice directly? | 20:52 |
| hhhzzzain | to get 3.6.5? | 20:52 |
| pleia2 | hhhzzzain: I'm going to assume you're on 12.04? | 20:52 |
| hhhzzzain | 12.10 | 20:52 |
| pleia2 | ok, then according to the site I linked the current version available for 12.10 is 3.6.2 | 20:53 |
| pleia2 | not 3.6.5 | 20:53 |
| pleia2 | looks like 3.6.5 hasn't been packaged yet, not even for 13.04 | 20:53 |
| pleia2 | it may need more testing, or has bugs the developers want to see fixed before packaging it, or many other reasons :) | 20:54 |
| pleia2 | if you absolutely need 3.6.5 and don't mind that it hasn't been accepted by ubuntu developers yet, I suppose you could download it from libreoffice's site, but I tend to recommend sticking with the current version with your release for the best experience stability, etc wise | 20:55 |
| hhhzzzain | I would have answered this myself if I knew: the most updated ubuntu packages immediately appears in ubuntu software centre. (I thought there was a delay). | 20:55 |
| pleia2 | they first go into a "proposed" repository where developers and contributors can test them | 20:56 |
| pleia2 | so that's the delay | 20:56 |

| koegs | yes | 23:53 |
| dydzEz2__ | ah yes it was you koegs | 23:53 |
| dydzEz2__ | do you have dual boot with your windows 8 setup | 23:53 |
| dydzEz2__ | wondering if you installed xubuntu under UEFI (secure boot off though) and then used boot-repair | 23:54 |
| koegs | nope, i am not using uefi | 23:54 |
| koegs | i have dualboot win8 and xubuntu, but not uefi | 23:55 |
| dydzEz2__ | ah ok | 23:55 |
| dydzEz2__ | but you had to use boot-repair right? | 23:55 |
| koegs | boot-repair? | 23:55 |
| dydzEz2__ | oh wow you didnt? it just fixed up grub, i had to use it. i installed it a first time on legacy and when i would go into grub and hit w8 it wouldnt work | 23:56 |
| koegs | hm, i had win7 first, then xubuntu, at some point later i have remove win7 and installed win8 | 23:57 |
| dydzEz2__ | oh so you dont have like lenovo's win 8 recovery thing | 23:57 |
| koegs | after that i have reinstalled grub with the live-cd | 23:57 |
| dydzEz2__ | oh you did that i see | 23:57 |
| koegs | noppe | 23:57 |
| dydzEz2__ | you used the live-cd to fix up grub | 23:57 |
| dydzEz2__ | you just did it manually eh? | 23:57 |
| koegs | yeah, had to, because win8 overwrote grub | 23:57 |
| dydzEz2__ | yeah | 23:57 |
| koegs | but that is just a matter of minutes | 23:58 |
| dydzEz2__ | boot-repair worked under uefi, i think imma setup it under legacy so alll live-cd's will be easier to work around | 23:58 |
| dydzEz2__ | is there a forum post on how you did it exactly, if boot-repair doesn work | 23:58 |
| koegs | yeah, did not want to read uefi docs and how-tos, i am good with legacy :D | 23:58 |
| koegs | i can give you the german ubuntuusers wiki :D | 23:59 |
| dydzEz2__ | yeah | 23:59 |
| dydzEz2__ | ill just translate on chrome or something | 23:59 |
| dydzEz2__ | and work it out | 23:59 |
| dydzEz2__ | thanks | 23:59 |
