| n-iCe | ochosi: still here? | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| ochosi | yes | 00:04 |
| n-iCe | Wondering, is there any package to create windowsxp usb install from ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| ochosi | windowsxp install meaning "install ubuntu from windowsxp" or "installing windowsxp" ? | 00:05 |
| n-iCe | means, install windowsxp in a usb from ubuntu | 00:05 |
| ochosi | no clue how you can nowaday install windowsxp | 00:06 |
| knome | i don't think that's in the scope of this channel... | 00:06 |
| ochosi | and tbh i never installed windowsxp from a usb-stick | 00:06 |
| n-iCe | yea | 00:06 |
| ochosi | that operating system is more than 10 years old | 00:06 |
| knome | you should ask ##windows | 00:07 |
| n-iCe | why would they know an app for ubuntu to do that? | 00:07 |
| n-iCe | I think people in here should know | 00:07 |
| n-iCe | Found one, winusb | 00:07 |
| knome | that's not a ubuntu issue/related thing really | 00:07 |
| n-iCe | is ok, I was just wondering | 00:08 |
| n-iCe | by the way ochosi, how can I align the icons on the panel | 00:08 |
| n-iCe | they are on the left now, they are used to be on center | 00:09 |
| ochosi | add a separator/spacing to it and set it to expand | 00:09 |
| n-iCe | oh you clever | 00:11 |
| n-iCe | works now :) | 00:11 |
| n-iCe | you use xubuntu ochosi ? | 00:12 |
| ochosi | i'm doing all the artwork for xubuntu | 00:12 |
| ochosi | (or: most) | 00:12 |
| n-iCe | Is there a way we can see an screenshoot of yours? | 00:12 |
| n-iCe | o.O | 00:12 |

| GermainZ | There are a few ways to do it as you launch the app, tho. | 22:14 |

| GermainZ | Does it allow traffic shaping of already running processes? | 22:15 |
| GermainZ | It doesn't, I actually tried it. | 22:16 |

| psil0cybin | thanks cellardoor | 22:24 |
| psil0cybin | but is this for the screen that i want to change im confused | 22:24 |
| psil0cybin | its like right after the Grub? | 22:24 |
| madam | pyshaper? LOL "Broadband internet access within New Zealand is abysmal," - all sheep look the same from the back end, so there is not much for internet traffic in new zealand. | 22:24 |

| psil0cybin | cellardoor, i do not have the folders listed in the tutorial | 22:27 |
| GermainZ | psil0cybin, you're talking about the screen that usually displays the blue Xubuntu background when using open source drivers and while dots below a text when using proprietary drivers? | 22:27 |
| genii-around | For an already running process, trickle | 22:27 |
| GermainZ | trickly must be used when starting the process. | 22:28 |

| GermainZ | Usage: trickle [-hvVs] [-d <rate>] [-u <rate>] [-w <length>] [-t <seconds>] [-l <length>] [-n <path>] command | 22:28 |

| psil0cybin | could i just edit | 22:29 |
| psil0cybin | text.plymouth | 22:29 |
| psil0cybin | and change the text? | 22:30 |
