| [00:30] <Genelyk> nit | |
| [00:30] <Genelyk> not | |
| [00:32] <Joelito> Genelyk: I need to download it and install it from the repos? | |
| [00:33] <Joelito> I though that it was pre-installed like in ubuntu :( | |
| [00:35] <Genelyk> mmm | |

| [03:38] <mrwislr> firefox in xubuntu will not give me an option to "open with" when downloading a document and such from webpages..... like email attachments.... it only gives the option to save as or cancel | |
| [03:38] <mrwislr> please help | |
| [03:43] <LetsGo67> mrwislr: 3.0? | |
| [03:43] <mrwislr> yes | |
| [03:45] <mrwislr> LetsGo67: yes | |
| [03:45] <CostaRicanQuaker> what advantages are significant when choosing xubuntu as compared to kubuntu? | |
| [03:48] <LetsGo67> mrwisir: sorry, not sure what to say. | |
| [03:48] <mrwislr> xubuntu is speed | |
| [03:48] <LetsGo67> CostaRicanQuaker: Xubuntu runs on 500mhz/256MB RAM/10GB hard drive better than (K)ubuntu. | |
| [03:49] <mrwislr> kubuntu is flashy windows with too many options and controlled by trolltech | |
| [03:49] <mrwislr> ubuntu is mac like simple beauty | |
| [03:49] <mrwislr> tied to no one but the community | |
| [03:50] <mrwislr> kubuntu is heavy | |
| [03:50] <mrwislr> xubuntu is light | |
| [03:50] <mrwislr> ubuntu is just right | |
| [03:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> trolltech? | |
| [03:50] <mrwislr> yes trolltech | |
| [03:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> what's that? | |
| [03:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> !trolltech | |
| [03:50] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about trolltech | |
| [03:51] <mrwislr> company that is responsible for the qt library | |
| [03:51] <mrwislr> which kde is built on | |
| [03:51] <mrwislr> which is the interface to kubuntu | |
| [03:51] <LetsGo67> Ubuntu has roughly the same requirements as Vista/Leopard. | |
| [03:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> so xubuntu will run faster | |
| [03:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> and it's simpler | |
| [03:51] <LetsGo67> Xubuntu is more like Windows XP. | |
| [03:52] <mrwislr> not likely lets | |
| [03:52] <mrwislr> xubuntu is more like classic mac | |
| [03:52] <LetsGo67> Mac OS 9? No way! | |
| [03:52] <LetsGo67> (There is a skin that mimics it, though) | |
| [03:52] <mrwislr> ubuntu will fly on a machine that crawls with vista | |
| [03:52] <LetsGo67> Maybe. | |
| [03:52] <CostaRicanQuaker> and with xubuntu? | |
| [03:53] <LetsGo67> I upgraded from 1GB to 3GB but it did nothing to Xubuntu's performance. | |
| [03:53] <LetsGo67> RAM | |
| [03:53] <mrwislr> xubuntu is very fast and simplistically beautiful | |
| [03:53] <CostaRicanQuaker> is xubuntu faster than ubuntu? | |
| [03:53] <mrwislr> but it won't be quite as user friendly as ubuntu | |
| [03:53] <LetsGo67> No way. | |
| [03:53] <mrwislr> yes lots faster | |
| [03:53] <LetsGo67> No accessibility. | |
| [03:54] <LetsGo67> JWM is the fastest. | |
| [03:54] <mrwislr> jwm isn't a destkop though | |
| [03:54] <mrwislr> like the others | |
| [03:54] <CostaRicanQuaker> what do you mean user friendly? | |
| [03:54] <mrwislr> take ubuntu | |
| [03:54] <CostaRicanQuaker> will i be able to switch from xp to xubuntu? | |
| [03:54] <mrwislr> seriously dude | |
| [03:54] <mrwislr> if your just getting into linux | |
| [03:54] <mrwislr> take ubuntu | |
| [03:55] <CostaRicanQuaker> I prefer kubuntu to ubuntu though | |
| [03:55] <mrwislr> y? | |
| [03:55] <mrwislr> because the task bar is on the bottom | |
| [03:55] <mrwislr> please | |
| [03:55] <mrwislr> windows thinking there | |
| [03:55] <CostaRicanQuaker> seems simpler | |
| [03:55] <mrwislr> besides you can move and arrange the friggin toolbar however you want in ubuntu | |
| [03:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> why not xubuntu then? | |
| [03:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> i also want my girl to switch and she's got pretty old laptop | |
| [03:56] <mrwislr> because ubuntu is setup to be much more intuative and user friendly | |
| [03:57] <mrwislr> xubuntu requires you to know quite a bit more about linux to truly enjoy it and get everything running | |
| [03:58] <CostaRicanQuaker> how long for me to learn it? | |
| [03:59] <mrwislr> take a good 3/4 months with ubuntu and you should have enough down to know what your doing for the most part | |
| [04:06] <CostaRicanQuaker> can you open .doc files | |
| [04:06] <CostaRicanQuaker> with abi word | |
| [04:06] <CostaRicanQuaker> and sve them | |
| [04:06] <CostaRicanQuaker> so MS office will open them | |
| [04:11] <LetsGo67> Thanks for your help guys, I'm heading off, ttyl. | |
| [04:11] <LetsGo67> (IMO AbiWord > OO.o) | |
| [05:55] <MrLukipela> So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, i am logged off. | |
| [05:55] <MrLukipela> Any ideas? | |
| [06:00] <Zeeded> huh? | |
| [07:11] <BoltClock> my school computers run on 128 mb ram, is that enough for xubuntu? | |
| [07:11] <MrLukipela> Yes | |
| [07:11] <MrLukipela> im running that right now :D | |
| [07:11] <BoltClock> funny, sources say i need more than that | |
| [07:11] <BoltClock> like 192 or even 256 mb | |
| [07:12] <BoltClock> those are for better performance i think? | |
| [07:12] <MrLukipela> Give me a minute and ill look at my system specs | |
| [07:12] <Zeeded> well your sources are wrong | |
| [07:12] <MrLukipela> but im running on a laptop thats 9 years old. | |
| [07:12] <MrLukipela> erm 8 years old | |
| [07:13] <BoltClock> im trying xubuntu by live cd now | |
| [07:13] <BoltClock> but its going to take me a little bit to get used to the differences from ubuntu | |
| [07:14] <MrLukipela> Im trying to get it to load all the way right now :D | |
| [07:14] <Zeeded> lol not really Bolt | |
| [07:14] <MrLukipela> when i try to get a command prompt my system crashes | |
| [07:14] <Zeeded> I have been switching back and forth for a while now | |
| [07:14] <Zeeded> there about the same | |
| [07:14] <Zeeded> you just have to install some different stuff | |
| [07:14] <MrLukipela> which is always fun, because we all know you dont need a command prompt for xubuntu :P | |
| [07:14] <Zeeded> and the interface is alittle bit different | |
| [07:14] <Zeeded> lol | |
| [07:15] <BoltClock> can see that Zeeded | |
| [07:15] <Zeeded> funny jokes there | |
| [07:15] <BoltClock> MrLukipelia lol | |
| [07:15] <BoltClock> MrLukipela: weird, havent heard of such crashes | |
| [07:15] <MrLukipela> Zeeded, im not sure wth i did, i updated my video drivers and now it crashes. | |
| [07:15] <MrLukipela> I have no clue what i did, and i cant get into terminal to check and see :D | |
| [07:16] <BoltClock> i just hope my school computers allow me to boot from my thumb drive, im planning to install xubuntu on it | |
| [07:16] <Zeeded> lol sweet | |
| [07:16] <MrLukipela> If they dont, all you have to do is get into the bios and make USB the primary boot deice | |
| [07:16] <BoltClock> its 4 gb, but the fact that my school is so poor restricts me to xubuntu | |
| [07:17] <BoltClock> MrLukipela: now im unsure if accessing the bios is allowed | |
| [07:18] <BoltClock> my school tends to get paranoid over these things | |
| [07:18] <MrLukipela> It would be pretty tough to restrict BIOS access, reboot the PC, press f10 or f8 depending. | |
| [07:24] <BoltClock> i cant believe i just text messaged my teacher asking if bios access is allowed | |
| [07:24] <MrLukipela> i cant believe you have a teacher that knows how to text message | |
| [07:24] <BoltClock> lol | |
| [07:35] <MrLukipela> Anyone in here actually know anything about Xubuntu, or do you all just lurk? | |
| [07:35] <BoltClock> i lurk | |
| [07:35] <BoltClock> and ask stuff | |
| [07:36] <MrLukipela> i havent ever seen anyone answer a question in here :( | |
| [07:36] <BoltClock> lol | |
| [07:36] <BoltClock> i didnt know it was that bad for xubuntu | |
| [07:37] <MrLukipela> hahahaha | |
| [07:38] <MrLukipela> i broke it | |
| [07:38] <MrLukipela> ok fixed | |
| [07:38] <MrLukipela> Still having the same terminal issue | |
| [07:39] <MrLukipela> but i can live without that | |
| [09:08] <the-erm> Is there a way to manually save a session? | |
| [09:09] <the-erm> Is there a way to enable a right-click on grouped task to "close all" | |
| [09:09] <the-erm> That is all ... | |
| [09:10] <Zeeded> yep | |
| [09:10] <the-erm> Great ... how? | |
| [09:11] <the-erm> gnome has gnome-session-save :) | |
| [09:11] <the-erm> alas I haven't found anything similar for xfce. | |
| [09:12] <Zeeded> No clue ;/ | |
| [09:13] <Zeeded> :/ | |
| [09:14] <the-erm> You wouldn't by chance know how to change the font size of the tool bar/menu? | |
| [09:14] <the-erm> I guess I should look in the menu editor before I ask simple questions like this.. | |
| [09:17] <the-erm> Alas it is not there. | |
| [09:25] <BoltClock> is it dependent on the machine itself whether changing bios boot settings is permanent or can be temporary? | |
| [09:48] <Valsum> Font size in Settings\User interface | |
| [09:49] <Valsum> BoltClock: I've only seen permanent ones. You save changes, and they're stored ;) | |
| [09:49] <BoltClock> Valsum: well... i dont think my school will be too happy seeing me boot xubuntu from my thumb drive then :S | |
| [09:50] <Valsum> you can restart later and put the boot settings in the bios back | |
| [11:32] <Rhorse> :leave | |
| [15:24] <xTheSaintx> yo guys | |
| [15:24] <xTheSaintx> How do i get the cube effect on xubuntu? | |
| [15:29] <xTheSaintx> Anyone? | |
| [15:30] <siggjen> you can set it in advanced desktop effect settings | |
| [15:40] <xTheSaintx> and were do i find that? | |
| [15:50] <siggjen> i use to find it in system/prefs | |
| [15:53] <TheSheep> siggjen: that's in ubuntu | |
| [15:54] <siggjen> oki, just execute ccsm then | |
| [15:57] <TheSheep> siggjen: ccsm? | |
| [15:58] <siggjen> compizconfig-settings-manager | |
| [16:00] <TheSheep> siggjen: no such thing in xubuntu default install | |
| [16:01] <siggjen> probably time to install it then | |
| [16:02] <TheSheep> siggjen: why not isnatll whole gnome then? | |
| [16:12] <xTheSaintx> TheSheep how do i get gnome? | |
| [16:13] <TheSheep> xTheSaintx: install ubuntu :) | |
| [16:13] <TheSheep> xTheSaintx: xubuntu doesn't have such special effects, you can add them by installing compiz, but it's not standard xubuntu then | |
| [16:13] <TheSheep> !compiz | |

| [16:21] <xTheSaintx> So i got xubuntu | |
| [16:28] <TheSheep> ubuntu wouldn't really go fast because of, mong other things, cube desktop | |
| [18:03] <MrLukipela> So am i ever going to be able to get support for xubuntu or should i just uninstall and go back to windows..? | |
| [18:07] <TheSheep> MrLukipela: you have to ask a question | |
| [18:07] * cody-somerville nods. | |
| [18:10] <MrLukipela> Yah, sorry, been asking the same question for 3 days with no response. | |
| [18:10] <MrLukipela> Here is my issue: On Xubuntu, my screen has big black bars on the sides, when i run displayconfig-gtk and try to change it, it goes to low graphics mode. I am using the correct driver, from what ive seen. Any ideas? | |
| [18:14] <TheSheep> MrLukipela: is that an lcd screen? | |
| [18:14] <MrLukipela> Yes, its a laptop | |
| [18:14] <TheSheep> MrLukipela: do you know what is its native resolution? | |
| [18:15] <MrLukipela> 1024x768 | |
| [18:15] <MrLukipela> What its doing is puting it at 800x600 but instead of streatching to meet the screen it just centers it | |
| [18:15] <MrLukipela> Stretching^ | |
| [18:16] <TheSheep> what does lspci | grep VGA say? | |
| [18:16] <TheSheep> (type that in a terminal) | |
| [18:16] <MrLukipela> .. i just tried to copy and paste from one computer to the other. | |
| [18:17] <TheSheep> there are programs that make it possible :) | |
| [18:17] <MrLukipela> VGA Compatible controller: intel corp. 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 11) | |
| [18:17] <MrLukipela> Yah but im not loading synergy till i get the screen fixed :P | |
| [18:18] <TheSheep> you cannot switch to 1024x768 with displayconfig-gtk? | |
| [18:18] <MrLukipela> When i do it goes to low graphics mode. | |
| [18:18] <MrLukipela> brb.. wife is yelling ;) | |
| [18:19] <TheSheep> even if you select intel as the driver? | |
| [18:38] <dkkong> The onboard soundcard in my system doesn't work. I put in a Creative Labs SB Audigy, and lspci shows it's recognized, but I have no sound. Help? | |
| [18:52] <MrLukipela> Yes, even if i select the intel drivers :D | |
| [18:54] <MrLukipela> TheSheep, Yes. Even if i select the intel drivers. | |
| [19:00] <cyzie> is smp not supported in kernel 2.6.24? | |
| [19:20] <TheSheep> cyzie: it is | |
| [19:21] <cyzie> yes, should go for the generic rather than 386 | |
| [19:21] <cyzie> iguess that's the different | |
| [19:35] <slow-motion> hi | |
| [19:38] <cyzie> what is the default runlevel in xubuntu ? | |
| [19:39] <TheSheep> cyzie: they are all the same | |
| [19:40] <cyzie> mm i just check, if you dont have inittab in /etc/, then it goes to runlevel 2. | |
| [19:40] <cyzie> why are you saying they are all the same ? | |
| [19:44] <TheSheep> because there is no differencebetween them -- they all start the same services | |
| [19:44] <TheSheep> except for the special ones, obviously | |
| [19:45] <cyzie> mmm, not really though, 0 to shut down, 1 for single mode, 5 for the x with multi user, 3 for no x multi users. 6 for reboot | |
| [19:47] <th0r> cyzie, close. I think ubuntu uses 2-5 interchangeably, but 0,1,6 are correct. Your definitions of 2-5 are for suse/redhat | |
| [19:48] <cyzie> th0r, check, /etc/event.d/rc-default . if you dont have inittab, it goes to N 2. so there is no interchangeably 2-5. | |
| [19:49] <cyzie> anyway, strange that my hardy does not have /etc/inittab.. :-s | |
| [19:50] <th0r> cyzie, right...2 is default, but I think 3,4,5 do the same thing in ubuntu. In suse, 2 is non-X, non-network, 3 is non-X with network, and 4 is X with no network | |
| [19:50] <th0r> cyzie, http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html | |
| [19:51] <cyzie> i see. this runlevel eventually fall back to the services/daemon start configured in /etc/rc.X . ok, i think i have my answer default runlevel is 2 if it dont have /etc/inittab. | |
| [19:51] <cyzie> thanks th0r | |
| [21:40] <cyzie> hi, after we initiate connection to the ISP using pon, how does actually the dns process works? | |
| [21:50] <gofigure> Hey UBuntuers I am a sorta IRC and UBUNTU noob and have a question | |
| [21:52] <gofigure> I once installed a different linux distro and when I pressed ctrl-alt-F4, I would get a command line terminal. Does Ubuntu have a similar feature?? | |
| [21:52] <gofigure> Cause my hardy heron doesn't do anything | |
| [21:53] <gofigure> hello? | |
| [21:54] <cyzie> u need /etc/inittab | |
| [21:54] <gofigure> cyzie my new friend! | |
| [21:54] <gofigure> Thank allah for you! | |
| [21:54] <gofigure> i have heard of this initab thing before | |
| [21:55] <gofigure> Do I need to put something in it?? | |
| [21:55] <cyzie> yes | |
| [21:55] <cyzie> check for some example, gtg now | |
| [21:55] <cyzie> bye | |
| [21:59] <gofigure> gee that helped a lot | |
| [21:59] <gofigure> php people are so much cooler | |
| [21:59] <firsm> is there a xubuntu theme for opera? | |
| [22:04] <gofigure> why does xubuntu crash all the time? | |
| [22:07] <gofigure> is there any way to make xubuntu more stable like my xp? | |
| [22:36] <slow-motion> n8 | |
| [22:38] <bminuk> anyone know when a patched xubuntu livecd will be made (with the SSL vuln fixed) | |
| [22:41] <bminuk> (tap tap) is this thing on? | |
| [22:57] <bminuk2> hello | |
| [23:05] <bminuk2> any know if an update livecd will be made available with fixes to the ssl vuln | |
| [23:16] <TheSheep> bminuk2: all images has been updated as soon as tthe fix was released | |
| [23:41] <bminuk2> TheSheep: sorry for the delay - on #ubuntu. The website indicates that the livecd does not contain the fix. | |
