xubuntu352ie : Is it better than installing windows-like menus in Ubuntu?06:24
Unit193You can try it live, and see if you like it.06:27
xubuntu352okay thanks06:31
xubuntu352What disadvantages does the real-time kernel have compared to standard for desktop Users?06:33
koegswhat advantages do you expect?06:51
Unit193It's more helpful in audio processing/recording, generally.06:57
koegshe is gone anyway :(06:57
Lehtireal-time sounds cool and fast, but has really nothing to it unless it's running some really specific stuff, yeah :)07:01

markwatersanyone else having a problem with random captialisation of characters when typing ? I have swapped out my usb keyboard and reinstalled xubuntu from scratch three times and still seeing it occassionally , most odd14:08
GridCubenope14:20
SonikkuAmericaNope (I use Unity and am solely here to give support based on my Xubuntu/Ubuntu Studio experience)14:21
markwatersok , thatnks guys14:25
markwatersok , thanks guys14:25
elfyI don't see it either - unless it's my fatfingers doing it14:27

mkbdHi ppl, for new desktop installations would you recommend xubuntu 12.04 lts or 13.04?14:45
SonikkuAmericamkbd: Are you installing Xubuntu on a production machine? If not, use 13.0414:45
GridCube13.0414:46
mkbdSonikkuAmerica: What do you mean by production machine? Its a machine for both work and multimedia :)14:46
SonikkuAmericamkbd: Here's the answer (Ubuntu Forums): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111228314:47
mkbdGridCube: for any special reason besides being more recent?14:48
GridCubemkbd, not really, all the latest xubuntu releases have been just improving themselfs, so there its no reason behind wanting to just have lts for a production machine to choose an lts release, even then the support for 13.04 will last just a little less than the remaining support for 12.0414:52
mkbdGridCube: Actually I thought that 12.04 would be supported for THREE years14:52
holstein!12.0414:52
ubottuXubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Xubuntu.  Download at http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu  Release notes at http://xubuntu.org/news/12-04-release/14:52
SonikkuAmericamkbd: You're right14:53

onrlatest Xubuntu-base update crashed my video card drivers15:11
onri can't set display resolution bigger than 1024x76815:11
holsteinonr: i usually troubleshoot with the older kernel.. sometimes i specify a custom xorg.conf.. what about the *-base are you thinking is crashing what? you can boot another session with no issues?15:12
[uzver]onr: try to reinstall driver or recreate xorg.conf15:12
nyRednekok, i have a hp psc that is connected to wifi router. i can print to it, but not scan...on another ubuntu install, i can do both15:16
nyRednekwhat can i try to make this work?15:16
GridCubenyRednek, check the model of the printer and search for scan drivers15:19
onrholstein, [uzver]: reinstalling driver (nvidia proprietary) and recreating xorg.conf solved the problem. I didn't restart the computer after Xubuntu-base package updated, but shut down; maybe update manager supposed to do some configuration15:23
onrthank you for help15:24

nyRednekGridCube: apparently, wasn't a driver issue, but a URI issue15:39

GermarHi17:07
GermarWhere can I report a bug that regards only xubuntu but not ubuntu?17:07
pleia2Germar: can you be a bit more specific? (there are many packages in xubuntu that it may be filed against)17:09
GermarIt is about a timeout on dbus during import keyring in a python program running with sudo17:09
Germarthe dbus request ran into a timeout only on xubuntu but not on ubuntu17:10
pleia2might want to pop over to #xubuntu-devel and ask (I'm not sure)17:10
Germarokay. I'll try there17:11
