| Finnigann | I did this along time ago, yet I cannot recall how I changed my Desktop/interface. Could someone point me in the right direction? Tango Yankee | 19:25 |
| geirha | Use a different desktop environment? | 19:40 |
| Finnigann | Yes, I think it went from a Gnome variant to KDE (or the other way) Is this possible with Ubuntu (I'm assumin it is) but how can I do this. I have v 12.0x now but I kinda liked the 11.xx that I first installed. | 20:04 |
| Unit193 | !purekde | You can "change" with this. | 20:05 |
| ubot93 | You can "change" with this.: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » | 20:05 |
| DavidP_ | Hello? | 22:49 |
| DavidP_ | Could someone help me solve a problem when I am installing lubuntu? | 22:49 |
| wilee-nilee | DavidP_, Hi, the channel works with you stating the problems, if someone knows they will answer, if no one does then you can try #ubuntu or #lubuntu | 22:51 |
| DavidP_ | I am installing lubuntu, and once i click the "install lubuntu" button, it starts with the splashscreen. After about 3 minutes the screen goes black and soon after the mouse appears. Then the screen goes through a phase of showing a black screen, then ujst a mouse. A few times after this, the screen starts to flicker between sleep mode, and various other screens. This continues for as long as I have waited and yet nothing h | 22:58 |
| wilee-nilee | DavidP_, Have you checked the md5sum of the iso or disc, or checked the disc integrity at the first gui at powering on? | 22:58 |
| DavidP_ | No, I will do. | 22:59 |
| DavidP_ | What is the rough process? | 22:59 |
| wilee-nilee | DavidP_, That is generally where I would start. Rough process in what context? | 23:00 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: are you currently on a widows or linux machine? | 23:00 |
| DavidP_ | How would i go about checking the md5sum. I am very inexperienced. | 23:00 |
| wilee-nilee | stlsaint, Feel free here you would have more insight. ;) | 23:01 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: are you currently on a widows or linux machine? | 23:01 |
| DavidP_ | My main computer is running windows altough I am installing linux on an old computer for a web server etc. | 23:02 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: how much ram on the older system? | 23:03 |
| DavidP_ | 256mb although i believe that's ok for lubuntu | 23:03 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: yes but its not ideal for it. which release are you trying to install? | 23:04 |
| DavidP_ | 12.10 | 23:05 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: have a glance at the wiki. The 12.10 requires more than 256 RAM for the "desktop" installer but you can use the alternate installer and it should run fine | 23:06 |
| stlsaint | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu | 23:06 |
| DavidP_ | ok what distro would recommend for that kind of spec, considering i would like to run a web server and some other things | 23:10 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: you new to linux yes? | 23:10 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: ubuntu server will be fine and its well documented for web servers | 23:11 |
| DavidP_ | i have used it a little. I have used ubuntu, know some simple commands and have a raspberry pi | 23:11 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: lubuntu really wont be lubuntu as a web server | 23:12 |
| DavidP_ | so ubuntu server will run on only 256mb of ram plus bear in mind the processor is only intel celeron | 23:14 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: ouch forgot about that part with the ram | 23:14 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: what type of content are you serving on the web with only 256 RAM? | 23:15 |
| DavidP_ | it'll only be a basic website, and i might add more ram later on if there is large traffic or it needs bigger files on it | 23:16 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: i am inexperienced with running low ram web servers. Least ive ever used was 2GB in a vm. But there is other OS's that may be able to but are some that i have never tried, IE: slax | 23:18 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: although i know puppy linux can be ran as a webserver | 23:19 |
| stlsaint | http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=43285 | 23:19 |
| DavidP_ | yeah i could run it on my larger pc which has 16 gb of ram but it is very powerful so it would be very power consuming plus i wouldnt be able to run windows in paralell | 23:23 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: now you said a webserver and "some other things"...what other things if you dont ask me asking? | 23:23 |
| stlsaint | oh yea | 23:23 |
| stlsaint | there are always virtual machines :D | 23:24 |
| DavidP_ | im happy to ill try puppy tho | 23:24 |
| Unit193 | Could also try AntiX for smaller, full featured. | 23:25 |
| DavidP_ | that didnt make sense long story why lol. by other things i meant like maybe some python | 23:26 |
| DavidP_ | antix seems good. btw im that bothered if the server is a bit slow its just a bit of an experiment really, just to make use of the computer. | 23:30 |
| DavidP_ | *but not btw | 23:30 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: cool, have fun | 23:33 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: go away :P | 23:33 |
| Unit193 | Good idear. | 23:33 |
| DavidP_ | who go away? why? | 23:35 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: not you, I was messing with my pal Unit193 | 23:36 |
| DavidP_ | ok i will try some of those distros tomorrow but how would i check the md5 checksum to make sure the disk is accurate? | 23:38 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: sorry not sure how on windows | 23:38 |
| stlsaint | im sure there is some little handy utility around | 23:39 |
| stlsaint | maybe?? http://www.winmd5.com/ | 23:39 |
| DavidP_ | ok i will find out myself. should i check it once downloaded when on disc. In fact i think my disc burner has the function built in! :) | 23:40 |
| stlsaint | you can check the iso once you download it before you burn it | 23:40 |
| DavidP_ | ok | 23:41 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: ping | 23:41 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: Pong, but still need to get grub. | 23:41 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: go grub then ill bug you when you return | 23:42 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: i just have a strange issue with my directories i wanted to throw at you | 23:42 |
| DavidP_ | thank you very much for your help guys, now i think i shall get some sleep :P you r a wonderful community, i love open source :D | 23:42 |
| stlsaint | DavidP_: later man | 23:45 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: Kind of in and out. | 23:57 |
