| Travis | Hello | 00:10 |

| happyjoy | hi | 00:12 |
| Travis | How big of a HDD partition is good enough for xubuntu? | 00:13 |
| happyjoy | others may happen along later. its best to state the issue and wait | 00:13 |
| happyjoy | 8GB is the smallest i'd go | 00:13 |
| happyjoy | you can do 6 | 00:13 |
| Travis | I am trying to partition my 80GB HDD into three sections. | 00:13 |
| happyjoy | for? | 00:14 |
| Travis | One for that nasty MegaSatan stuff. One is for FreeDOS (So I can program some old radios). The last is for Xubuntu | 00:14 |
| happyjoy | however you need the space you'll be good | 00:14 |
| happyjoy | win7/8 needs at least 20gb | 00:14 |
| Travis | Would 20GB be good enough for xubuntu? | 00:15 |
| happyjoy | yup | 00:15 |
| happyjoy | i use xubuntu on thumbdrives | 00:15 |
| Travis | Wish I had a SATA adapter for this laptop. I have an old 320GB HDD I ripped out of one of those external ones. | 00:15 |
| happyjoy | you can get adapters, the issue is space | 00:16 |
| Travis | That's why I want the 320 GB. | 00:17 |
| phunyguy | does anyone know what it is about Xubuntu that makes it use system tray icons for update notifications? | 04:12 |
| phunyguy | package, config, etc | 04:12 |
| phunyguy | I installed ubuntu-desktop package over an Xubuntu install, because I was testing some things, and in Unity it had those tray icons.... which I want to replicate on a straight ubunt instal. | 04:13 |
| phunyguy | install* | 04:13 |
| phunyguy | ubuntu* | 04:13 |
| phunyguy | sheesh | 04:13 |
| Unit193 | update-notifier? | 04:15 |
| phunyguy | that is on a default ubuntu install.. so I am curious as to what makes it different | 04:18 |
| phunyguy | ubuntu itself uses popups that are annoying. | 04:18 |
| phunyguy | I would rather have it be the tray icon version, same with apper. | 04:18 |
| Unit193 | Raring or saucy? | 04:19 |
| phunyguy | raring | 04:19 |
| Unit193 | (I have mangled versions of the indicator stuff, and killed the notifier long ago as it's a pain.) | 04:21 |
| phunyguy | yeah, it's just less of a pain in xubuntu. | 04:21 |
| phunyguy | in unity it bugs the heck out of you by popping up in your face. | 04:21 |
| Unit193 | ...Does the manager come up? | 04:22 |
| phunyguy | same with the "you need to reboot and this will stay open until you do" | 04:22 |
| phunyguy | it does. | 04:22 |
| phunyguy | I'm just curious as to what makes xubuntu different. | 04:22 |
| Unit193 | /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/20_xubuntu-default-settings.gschema.override that might. | 04:23 |
| phunyguy | I shoulda kept the xubuntu ones. | 04:23 |
| phunyguy | ahh nonexistent file. | 04:23 |
| phunyguy | so that may do it | 04:23 |
| Unit193 | From xubuntu-default-settings | 04:24 |
| phunyguy | aahhh xubuntu-default-settings | 04:24 |
| phunyguy | hmmm that may pull in more than I want | 04:25 |
| phunyguy | :( | 04:25 |
| phunyguy | sounds like a VM is in order. | 04:25 |
| phunyguy | wait a minute | 04:26 |
| phunyguy | xfce4-notifyd | 04:26 |
| phunyguy | lol? | 04:26 |
| Unit193 | Much better than the "default" one. | 04:27 |
| phunyguy | :-/ | 04:28 |
| Unit193 | "notification-daemon" | 04:28 |
| phunyguy | where is that executable normally located? | 04:28 |
| phunyguy | I installed it, but it isn't in /usr/bin | 04:28 |
| Unit193 | It's a daemon, but it has a configuration tool at /usr/bin/xfce4-notifyd-config | 04:29 |
| phunyguy | yeah but how do you start the daemon | 04:30 |
| phunyguy | :( | 04:30 |
| meh_ | Would anyone have suggestions for reducing bootime? I'm at 100 seconds! The machine booted faster before switching to linux... | 05:14 |
| baizon | meh_: install bootchart and post the results or google to check for the unneeded services which you can disable | 05:15 |
| meh_ | baizon_:okay. | 05:18 |
| meh_ | baizon_ how could I post it? | 05:19 |
| meh_ | baizon_: I'm kind of new to irc would be able to tell me how to post a chart | 05:26 |
| baizon | sorry was afk. | 05:47 |
| JZA | hi i got a liveSD (usb) but I notice that my installation is not persistant | 07:01 |
| JZA | after a reboot I get the defautl desktop no config files | 07:01 |
| JZA | should I disable some kind of fs switch | 07:01 |
| JZA | maybe because I choose to 'try xubuntu before installing' | 07:02 |
| JZA | has some kind of union-filesystem or something that makes a steady state | 07:02 |
| JZA | anyone around? | 07:20 |
| elfy | not many I'd guess | 07:26 |
| elfy | I'd assume if you've not got persistence you've not set it up to have it - a normal default usb image won't | 07:26 |
| elfy | !persistence | 07:27 |
| ubottu | To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence | 07:27 |
| JZA | elfy: thanks. | 07:34 |
| JZA | elfy: I am reading about it, seems is not that easy, since I am running on the liveUSB, I guess I need to re-download the iso and open it | 07:35 |
| JZA | and then do the initrd, I wonder if I cnan pass this as a boot argument | 07:35 |
| JZA | I want to install on an SD | 08:04 |

| rygD | does anyone have experience working with pcmcia memory cards in 12.04? | 10:29 |
| bekks | What are they supposed to do? Presenting awfully slow memory to a computer? :) | 10:30 |
| rygD | sure | 10:30 |
| rygD | i am just trying to use it to load a driver | 10:31 |
| cfhowlett | pcmcia? are those still around? | 10:31 |
| rygD | not really | 10:31 |
| rygD | this isn't even flash | 10:31 |
| cfhowlett | rygD, um, USB is WAY faster - and cheap too! | 10:31 |
| rygD | 2meg sram | 10:31 |
| rygD | cfhowlett: doesn't work with what i am using | 10:32 |
| buu | Hey, how do I add a new window manager? | 11:14 |
| buu | Like, what manual steps do I need to do to make it either run by default or be selectable somehow? | 11:15 |
| cfhowlett | buu, sudo apt-get install...then logout. choose the other option. login. | 11:16 |
| buu | cfhowlett: The one I installed wasn't via apt-get =] | 11:16 |
| cfhowlett | buu, ok HOW did you install? :) | 11:17 |
| buu | make install! | 11:17 |
| cfhowlett | buu, try the logout/login method | 11:18 |
| cfhowlett | buu, if that fails, ask in #ubuntu ... more eyes to see | 11:18 |
| rygD | cfhowlett: do you think someone over there might be able to help with my issues? | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | rygD, couldn't hurt to ask | 11:26 |
| Sysi | buu: you wanna run it with xfce or just by itself? | 11:27 |
| buu | Sysi: Just by itself | 11:32 |
| buu | Also, new question, how do I get it to stop going into suspend when I close the lid? | 11:33 |
| buu | Do I have to restart for the setting to take effect | 11:33 |
| buu | Is there any quick and easy way to temporarily mount a samba share without cli mount/fstab stuff? | 13:31 |
| buu | Like via the file browser? | 13:31 |

| Guest23518 | Hi | 13:40 |
| Guest23518 | some people have see this clones on the panel : http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturedcran-05102013-153749.php ??? | 13:41 |
| Guest23518 | "Comptes en ligne" | 13:41 |
| elfy | buu: as far as I know you can do so in the file browser yes - also look at gigolo | 13:45 |
| elfy | Guest23518: not sure what you're asking | 13:46 |
| Guest23518 | elfy, gnome-control-center-signon package parameters appear 2 times | 14:47 |
| Guest23518 | je suis pas sûr s'il était installé par défaut, où si je l'avais ajouter depuis la logithèque.. | 14:48 |

| Naeblis | Hello. I'm running Xubuntu Precise on my laptop. And I'm a problem that I can't log in. The screen that asks for the password doesn't show, and I get a few messages like "checking battery state [ok]". The last message is "could not open a connection to your authentciation agent", and the screen is stuck there. | 16:38 |
| Naeblis | If I press the shut down button, I get a couple more messages and it shuts down fine, though. | 16:39 |
