[00:10] <Travis> Hello
[00:12] <happyjoy> hi
[00:13] <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.
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <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.
[00:16] <happyjoy> you can get adapters, the issue is space
[00:17] <Travis> That's why I want the 320 GB.
[04:12] <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
[04:13] <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
[04:15] <Unit193> update-notifier?
[04:18] <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.
[04:19] <Unit193> Raring or saucy?
[04:19] <phunyguy> raring
[04:21] <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.
[04:22] <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.
[04:23] <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
[04:24] <Unit193> From xubuntu-default-settings
[04:24] <phunyguy> aahhh xubuntu-default-settings
[04:25] <phunyguy> hmmm that may pull in more than I want
[04:25] <phunyguy> :(
[04:25] <phunyguy> sounds like a VM is in order.
[04:26] <phunyguy> wait a minute
[04:26] <phunyguy> xfce4-notifyd
[04:26] <phunyguy> lol?
[04:27] <Unit193> Much better than the "default" one.
[04:28] <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
[04:29] <Unit193> It's a daemon, but it has a configuration tool at /usr/bin/xfce4-notifyd-config
[04:30] <phunyguy> yeah but how do you start the daemon
[04:30] <phunyguy> :(
[05:14] <meh_> Would anyone have suggestions for reducing bootime? I'm at 100 seconds! The machine booted faster before switching to linux...
[05:15] <baizon> meh_: install bootchart and post the results or google to check for the unneeded services which you can disable
[05:18] <meh_> baizon_:okay.
[05:19] <meh_> baizon_ how could I post it?
[05:26] <meh_> baizon_: I'm kind of new to irc would be able to tell me how to post a chart
[05:47] <baizon> sorry was afk.
[07:01] <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
[07:02] <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
[07:20] <JZA> anyone around?
[07:26] <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
[07:27] <elfy> !persistence
[07:34] <JZA> elfy: thanks.
[07:35] <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
[08:04] <JZA> I want to install on an SD
[10:29] <rygD> does anyone have experience working with pcmcia memory cards in 12.04?
[10:30] <bekks> What are they supposed to do? Presenting awfully slow memory to a computer? :)
[10:30] <rygD> sure
[10:31] <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
[10:32] <rygD> cfhowlett: doesn't work with what i am using
[11:14] <buu> Hey, how do I add a new window manager?
[11:15] <buu> Like, what manual steps do I need to do to make it either run by default or be selectable somehow?
[11:16] <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 =]
[11:17] <cfhowlett> buu, ok HOW did you install? :)
[11:17] <buu> make install!
[11:18] <cfhowlett> buu, try the logout/login method
[11:18] <cfhowlett> buu, if that fails, ask in #ubuntu ... more eyes to see
[11:25] <rygD> cfhowlett: do you think someone over there might be able to help with my issues?
[11:26] <cfhowlett> rygD, couldn't hurt to ask
[11:27] <Sysi> buu: you wanna run it with xfce or just by itself?
[11:32] <buu> Sysi: Just by itself
[11:33] <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
[13:31] <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?
[13:40] <Guest23518> Hi
[13:41] <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"
[13:45] <elfy> buu: as far as I know you can do so in the file browser yes - also look at gigolo
[13:46] <elfy> Guest23518: not sure what you're asking
[14:47] <Guest23518> elfy, gnome-control-center-signon package parameters appear 2 times
[14:48] <Guest23518> je suis pas sûr s'il était installé par défaut, où si je l'avais ajouter depuis la logithèque..
[15:52] <mio6> Hello. I have reinstalled Xubuntu on my laptop. Wiped my old install because of a mistake. However I have a backup of my /home directory. How can I import all the settings and everything from there to the new install? I have the other folders from / not just /home. Thank you
[15:58] <SuperEngineer> mio6: copy from backyp - ovewrite new /home with it? [assuming you're prepared to reinstall if anything goes wrong
[15:59] <SuperEngineer> [would advise seeking further advice 1st]
[16:38] <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.
[16:39] <Naeblis> If I press the shut down button, I get a couple more messages and it shuts down fine, though.
[23:09] <xubuntu975> hello. I have a netbook with no place for a cd of anykind. How do i install the xubuntu?
[23:09] <Sysi> !usb
[23:26] <benxyzzy> I've got a hanging "file operation in progress" - tried to cancel a copy over FTP but it's stuck at 'Cancelling...' What do I need to kill?
