jack_the_strippeHi. I'm a bit desperate: Can someone tell me what's the command to open the whisker menu? I need it in order to configure shortcuts (i.e. Meta key to open it).13:32
jack_the_strippeNevermind, just found out. It's "xfce4-popup-whiskermenu"13:34

DriedOrangePlanning to buy a new ultrabook with 24gb ssd cache. Dual-boot Xubuntu and Windows. Will both OS'es be able to use the ssd cache automatically?15:51
Sysiintel smart cache orwhatsit only works on windows15:52
DriedOrangeSysi, so Xubuntu won't be able to take advantage of the ssd cache?15:58
SysiDriedOrange: nope, you could install xubuntu on ssd but then it wouldn't work as cache for windows AFAIK15:59
DriedOrangeSysi, Alright, thanks.16:00
Sysijust never close anything if you have enough RAM :P16:01
DriedOrangeSysi, I will probably choose a different Ultrabook instead.16:03
Sysithat works too16:03

_DeLa_hi there21:10
_DeLa_i am using xubuntu 12.04 and libreoffice. right now, i am using the latest libreoffice ppa for 4.x version but i found them too buggy. Can I just deactivate this ppa, install the ppa for the more stable 3.6 libreoffice version, update the system and have it working? is this way of changing ppa okay?21:12
Unit193!ppapurge21:12
ubottuTo disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html21:12
_DeLa_unit193: so first purge, and then install the new ppa?21:13
Unit193That's the best way.21:14
_DeLa_Unit193: thanks...hmm...errm...well, is this ppa-purge command safe? can it cause problems?21:17
_DeLa_well... nothing is really "safe" anyway...21:20
_DeLa_at least not 100%21:20
Unit193I've used it, it takes a diff and reverts packages to the version in the repo.21:21
_DeLa_it takes a diff? - sorry what does that mean?21:23
_DeLa_Unit193: it takes a diff? - sorry what does that mean?21:28
Unit193Basically, takes a look at the sources.21:29
_DeLa_ok. thanks21:33

Djmann1013What are the system requirements to run Xubuntu, and is it exactly like Ubuntu?22:20
Unit193Not exactly like Ubuntu, that'd kind of make it Ubuntu....  Generally, 512M of ram, what is your system?22:21
Djmann1013My system I plan on installing it on to is: 896MB og RAM, AMD Anthlon 64 processor, and the graphics card is unknown22:23
holsteinDjmann1013: try it live... should be fine22:24
Djmann1013holstein Will the regular Ubuntu work as well?22:25
holsteinDjmann1013: try it live.. should be fine, though, i would expect arguably "better" results with XFCE since it doesnt require 3d22:26
nathanesau1hello?22:34
nathanesau1so i accidentally replaced windows 7 with ubuntu rather than running it alongside22:35
nathanesau1i currently have 4 partitions on my harddrive22:35
holsteinnathanesau1: you can shrink the partition, and install windows beside22:35
holstein!grub22:35
ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub222:35
nathanesau1i did that holstein22:36
holsteinmoondoggie: ^^ there will be instructions for recovering grub after installing windows22:36
nathanesau1i shrunk the partition22:36
nathanesau1i will tell you what my partitons are:22:36
holsteinnathanesau1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows specifically22:36
nathanesau11  for linux swap, 1 ntfs for windows, 1 ext4 for linux, 1 fat3222:37
nathanesau1no you dont understand, i have ubuntu installed and i want to install windows22:37
nathanesau1not the other way around22:37
holsteinnathanesau1: those instructions are for, after you have installed ubuntu, *then* installed windows, and windwos has removed grub..22:38
nathanesau1i havent installed windows yet though22:38
nathanesau1thats what im trying to do...22:38
holsteinnathanesau1: aftert you do, windows *will* blow out grub. you can then refer to the link i gave22:38
nathanesau1no, i was wondering HOW to install windows after installing ubuntu22:39
holsteinassuming you dont have a system restore disc that will not allow that22:39
nathanesau1its proving rather difficult22:39
nathanesau1i have windows 7 on a winusb boot stick22:39
holsteinnathanesau1: i have no idea.. depends on what disc you have, and what microsoft allows you to do with it22:39
nathanesau1which i put the iso on22:39
nathanesau1but then do you  need to modify the bios settings???22:39
holsteinnathanesau1: if its a system restore disc, then it will blow out the entire drive22:39
holsteinnathanesau1: the bios settings will be what they ned to be to boot whatever needs to be booted22:40
holsteinlikely a CD22:40
nathanesau1no but the problem is, the system restore disc wont execute22:40
holsteinnathanesau1: maybe its bad22:40
nathanesau1i dont think so22:40
holsteinnathanesau1: have you *ever* seen it boot? if not, then it could be bad22:40
nathanesau1um... is there any way i can completely wipe my pc; i.e. remove everything, all OS, and then install windows22:41
nathanesau1because i cant uninstall ubuntu while in ubuntu22:41
holsteinnathanesau1: there is not need to uninstall ubuntu22:41
holsteinnathanesau1: you load up whatever disc you have, and do what it can do.. the windows disc wont have a lot of options22:41
holsteinnathanesau1: you can either wipe out the whole drive and start over, or install windows beside ubuntu, and recover grub from the link i gave22:42
nathanesau1i kind of want to just wipe out the whole drive22:42
nathanesau1i was wondering if you know how to do that22:42
holsteinnathanesau1: do what you want, with what is allowed by whatever disc you have22:43
nathanesau1then i would install : windows, folllowed by ubuntu using the desktop installer22:43
holsteinnathanesau1: the ubuntu installer will allow that22:43
