[00:00] it will run... smoothly? i suppose that depends what you're going to do and what you think is smooth [00:01] browsing, 8+tabs in chrome, maybe word editor open? :) [00:03] 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) [00:04] 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. [00:05] no, its mostly basic work [00:05] libreoffice will load slowly, but it shouldn't be a problem once it's launched [00:05] excellent [00:05] (I use it on said netbook for Impress presentations) [00:05] thank you guys for help [00:22] 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. [00:24] oh right, mine does have an ssd and I'm sure that helps [00:27] 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. === azeam is now known as azeam_afk [00:31] 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 [00:33] I use chrome (firefox is leaner now, but not good enough) [00:34] I used the default gnome2 in 8.04 when I first got it, but then switched to xubuntu [02:01] Does anyone have any experience trying to load the scanner on an HP8600 all-in-one wireless? [02:14] im on winxp and im about to install xubuntu. after install the only internet connection i have is wifi. will i beable to auto connect to any wifi signal? [02:14] im on old laptop [02:14] Depends on your chipset. [02:16] im on intel centrino 1.4 ghz [02:16] What's the wifi card? [02:17] wifi is intel pro/wireless 2200bg [02:18] AneX: Should be good. [02:19] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ipw2200 [02:21] thx, where in xubuntu will i find wireless connections for future knoledge [02:21] Right in the panel, may offer you to connect. [02:22] oh ok coo im just sick in tired of windows [02:23] ive used puppy linux and ubuntu before but not xubuntu [02:23] http://docs.xubuntu.org/internet-networks.html That may help. [02:23] thx === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:42] is unetbootin the best program to burn this xubuntu iso to my usb drive? [02:44] if it works for you, yes [02:44] aight thx [02:46] AneX_: remember that you may have different options when you right-click and left-click the network icon in the panel === LNCP is now known as Guest31144 [06:44] 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) [06:46] And you did apt-get update? [06:46] Can you paste the exact error, or pastebin if long? [06:47] Oh, bl*st... I knew I forgot something... gee what a beginner's mistake... [06:47] so sorry to bother you! [06:47] But thanks! [06:48] Sure thing, no problem. [07:25] does anyone actually use the xubuntu twitter account anymore? why can't we have it tweeting daily, a similar issue affects the facebook page === knome_ is now known as knome === jonas_ is now known as jonas____ [11:41] good day [11:41] peeps [11:41] where is xflock4 in quantal [11:41] oi [11:41] ? [11:41] !enter | jonas____ [11:41] jonas____: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:42] ok , canyou tell me, where is xflock4 in quantal ? [11:42] i don't understand the question [11:43] jonas____: /usr/bin/xflock4 [11:43] or "which xflock4" :) [11:43] alright so in xfce 4.8 there was an app named xflock, that was a small icon used to lock the screen [11:43] that paclkage is missing in quantal [11:43] koegs its missing in quantal [11:43] :S [11:44] nope, i am on quantal right now [11:44] jonas____, are you talking about a panel applet? [11:44] u have it installed [11:44] yes that one [11:44] jonas____, try adding the action buttons applet and then edit preferences [11:44] still xflock ain showing in synaptic [11:44] jonas____, you should be able to create a lock-button from there [11:44] fair engouh [13:28] Anyone know of any good, free, WORKING, proxy's? [13:32] not really, but there is tor, it works for me, just have to be careful with it [16:28] Have any of you ever said a bad word? [16:31] badpie: maybe someone in #xubuntu-offtopic [16:32] I'm in the process of installing Xubuntu and I presumed this channel was there to entertain me while I wait, a very thoughtful service to provide. [16:33] badpie: only for support, #xubuntu-offtopic is meant for chatting [16:33] Ok, sorry. [16:34] 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? [18:04] sorry, test [18:26] it takes a long time before thunar finds my disks. What is happening? [18:30] it takes 2 minutes after logging in before i can use Xubuntu. Is this error known? [18:36] does anyone actually use the xubuntu twitter account anymore? why can't we have it tweeting daily, a similar issue affects the facebook page [18:41] Noskcaj: facebook page, seriously? [18:41] tjingboem: do you have anything suspicious in dmesg? [18:51] don't know - i updated today, yesterday there was no problem [19:04] tjingboem: just open a terminal and type 'dmesg' and look at the messages [19:07] i see a big difference in time between these 2: [19:07] [ 22.858009] eth0: no IPv6 routers present [19:07] [ 667.721017] usb 1-3: reset high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd [19:07] the rest follows each other very quickly [19:08] the most recent ones are at the end [19:08] anything that looks like IO errors? [19:12] [ 10.564980] EXT4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro === VividReality is now known as YeraWizerdArry [19:13] tjingboem: that's ok === YeraWizerdArry is now known as Hagrid === Hagrid is now known as Mibbit9264732 === Mibbit9264732 is now known as VividReality [19:17] sup guise [19:17] i was just re-running the latest xubuntu installer... which appears to be the same as the latest ubuntu installer [19:17] no more mdraid support from the installer? [19:17] lots of text, TheSheep. i will disconnect my usb cardreader and reboot - see what happens... === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [19:54] TheSheep - don't know why, but disconnecting the empty cardreader seems to solve problem [19:56] tjingboem: fun [19:57] :) and :( [20:08] 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? [20:10] go ahead with answer. i will brb. [20:10] too slow for what? [20:10] oh hi! [20:10] well its for my 12 year son. he just wanted a machine for online (web) games like miniclips [20:10] flash based i think [20:11] most should work fine, but some are written in a horrible way and need quite some computing power [20:11] yeah i thought so [20:11] so should i find a slightly more powerful laptop? [20:12] I would give it a try [20:12] if you can [20:12] the thing is 6 years old i think [20:12] ok. go with 11.10? or 12.10 verison [20:12] or it doesnt matter [20:12] my parents are using a worse computer with ubuntu [20:12] but they mostly read news and use openoffice [20:13] shouldn't matter much [20:13] ok. [20:13] thank TS [20:13] have a good one [20:13] good luck [20:13] thanks [20:13] bye [20:40] who has libreoffice on their xubuntu? [20:41] gridcube, do you have libreoffice on your xubuntu? [20:41] yes [20:41] which version is it? [20:42] hhhzzzain, please don't ping random people [20:42] hhhzzzain, even if GridCube replied, it's not good manners [20:43] good point [20:44] you just joined so It is a good time to ask. [20:44] 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] and knowing what version of Xubuntu you're running and ask about is helpful too [20:44] my question: which version of libreoffice is the lastest using the ubuntu software centre + updates? [20:44] LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) [20:45] hhhzzzain, possibly true, but it doesn't make pinging random people good manners. [20:45] hhhzzzain: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libreoffice [20:47] really, if you are idle, make you status idle, otherwise don't expect people to know that you are busy. [20:47] hhhzzzain, its not like that, but please dont enter to an argument here [20:47] hhhzzzain: that's not really how it works :) [20:47] lets just all move on please [20:48] hhhzzzain: the link I gave gives current versions for recent versions of ubuntu, does that answer your question? [20:49] 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). [20:50] yes [20:51] so the current version on ubuntu is 3.6.5? [20:51] or 3.6.2? [20:52] so I should download from libreoffice directly? [20:52] to get 3.6.5? [20:52] hhhzzzain: I'm going to assume you're on 12.04? [20:52] 12.10 [20:53] ok, then according to the site I linked the current version available for 12.10 is 3.6.2 [20:53] not 3.6.5 [20:53] looks like 3.6.5 hasn't been packaged yet, not even for 13.04 [20:54] it may need more testing, or has bugs the developers want to see fixed before packaging it, or many other reasons :) [20:55] 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] 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). [20:56] they first go into a "proposed" repository where developers and contributors can test them [20:56] so that's the delay === azeam is now known as azeam_afk === moruk is now known as xenox [23:53] didnt someone here have a thinkpad x1 carbon [23:53] yes [23:53] ah yes it was you koegs [23:53] do you have dual boot with your windows 8 setup [23:54] wondering if you installed xubuntu under UEFI (secure boot off though) and then used boot-repair [23:54] nope, i am not using uefi [23:55] i have dualboot win8 and xubuntu, but not uefi [23:55] ah ok [23:55] but you had to use boot-repair right? [23:55] boot-repair? [23:56] 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 [23:57] hm, i had win7 first, then xubuntu, at some point later i have remove win7 and installed win8 [23:57] oh so you dont have like lenovo's win 8 recovery thing [23:57] after that i have reinstalled grub with the live-cd [23:57] oh you did that i see [23:57] noppe [23:57] you used the live-cd to fix up grub [23:57] you just did it manually eh? [23:57] yeah, had to, because win8 overwrote grub [23:57] yeah [23:58] but that is just a matter of minutes [23:58] 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] is there a forum post on how you did it exactly, if boot-repair doesn work [23:58] yeah, did not want to read uefi docs and how-tos, i am good with legacy :D [23:59] i can give you the german ubuntuusers wiki :D [23:59] yeah [23:59] ill just translate on chrome or something [23:59] and work it out [23:59] thanks
