[03:30] LetsGo67, We need more volunteers! :P [03:32] cody-somervile: how? [03:34] LetsGo67, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted [03:38] 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] please help [03:43] mrwislr: 3.0? [03:43] yes [03:45] LetsGo67: yes [03:45] what advantages are significant when choosing xubuntu as compared to kubuntu? [03:48] mrwisir: sorry, not sure what to say. [03:48] xubuntu is speed [03:48] CostaRicanQuaker: Xubuntu runs on 500mhz/256MB RAM/10GB hard drive better than (K)ubuntu. [03:49] kubuntu is flashy windows with too many options and controlled by trolltech [03:49] ubuntu is mac like simple beauty [03:49] tied to no one but the community [03:50] kubuntu is heavy [03:50] xubuntu is light [03:50] ubuntu is just right [03:50] trolltech? [03:50] yes trolltech [03:50] what's that? [03:50] !trolltech [03:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about trolltech [03:51] company that is responsible for the qt library [03:51] which kde is built on [03:51] which is the interface to kubuntu [03:51] Ubuntu has roughly the same requirements as Vista/Leopard. [03:51] so xubuntu will run faster [03:51] and it's simpler [03:51] Xubuntu is more like Windows XP. [03:52] not likely lets [03:52] xubuntu is more like classic mac [03:52] Mac OS 9? No way! [03:52] (There is a skin that mimics it, though) [03:52] ubuntu will fly on a machine that crawls with vista [03:52] Maybe. [03:52] and with xubuntu? [03:53] I upgraded from 1GB to 3GB but it did nothing to Xubuntu's performance. [03:53] RAM [03:53] xubuntu is very fast and simplistically beautiful [03:53] is xubuntu faster than ubuntu? [03:53] but it won't be quite as user friendly as ubuntu [03:53] No way. [03:53] yes lots faster [03:53] No accessibility. [03:54] JWM is the fastest. [03:54] jwm isn't a destkop though [03:54] like the others [03:54] what do you mean user friendly? [03:54] take ubuntu [03:54] will i be able to switch from xp to xubuntu? [03:54] seriously dude [03:54] if your just getting into linux [03:54] take ubuntu [03:55] I prefer kubuntu to ubuntu though [03:55] y? [03:55] because the task bar is on the bottom [03:55] please [03:55] windows thinking there [03:55] seems simpler [03:55] besides you can move and arrange the friggin toolbar however you want in ubuntu [03:56] why not xubuntu then? [03:56] i also want my girl to switch and she's got pretty old laptop [03:56] because ubuntu is setup to be much more intuative and user friendly [03:57] xubuntu requires you to know quite a bit more about linux to truly enjoy it and get everything running [03:58] how long for me to learn it? [03:59] 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] can you open .doc files [04:06] with abi word [04:06] and sve them [04:06] so MS office will open them [04:11] Thanks for your help guys, I'm heading off, ttyl. [04:11] (IMO AbiWord > OO.o) [05:55] So.. after a fresh install, when i go to terminal, for a command prompt, i am logged off. [05:55] Any ideas? [06:00] huh? [07:11] my school computers run on 128 mb ram, is that enough for xubuntu? [07:11] Yes [07:11] im running that right now :D [07:11] funny, sources say i need more than that [07:11] like 192 or even 256 mb [07:12] those are for better performance i think? [07:12] Give me a minute and ill look at my system specs [07:12] well your sources are wrong [07:12] but im running on a laptop thats 9 years old. [07:12] erm 8 years old [07:13] im trying xubuntu by live cd now [07:13] but its going to take me a little bit to get used to the differences from ubuntu [07:14] Im trying to get it to load all the way right now :D [07:14] lol not really Bolt [07:14] when i try to get a command prompt my system crashes [07:14] I have been switching back and forth for a while now [07:14] there about the same [07:14] you just have to install some different stuff [07:14] which is always fun, because we all know you dont need a command prompt for xubuntu :P [07:14] and the interface is alittle bit different [07:14] lol [07:15] can see that Zeeded [07:15] funny jokes there [07:15] MrLukipelia lol [07:15] MrLukipela: weird, havent heard of such crashes [07:15] Zeeded, im not sure wth i did, i updated my video drivers and now it crashes. [07:15] I have no clue what i did, and i cant get into terminal to check and see :D [07:16] i just hope my school computers allow me to boot from my thumb drive, im planning to install xubuntu on it [07:16] lol sweet [07:16] If they dont, all you have to do is get into the bios and make USB the primary boot deice [07:16] its 4 gb, but the fact that my school is so poor restricts me to xubuntu [07:17] MrLukipela: now im unsure if accessing the bios is allowed [07:18] my school tends to get paranoid over these things [07:18] It would be pretty tough to restrict BIOS access, reboot the PC, press f10 or f8 depending. [07:24] i cant believe i just text messaged my teacher asking if bios access is allowed [07:24] i cant believe you have a teacher that knows how to text message [07:24] lol [07:35] Anyone in here actually know anything about Xubuntu, or do you all just lurk? [07:35] i lurk [07:35] and ask stuff [07:36] i havent ever seen anyone answer a question in here :( [07:36] lol [07:36] i didnt know it was that bad for xubuntu [07:37] hahahaha [07:38] i broke it [07:38] ok fixed [07:38] Still having the same terminal issue [07:39] but i can live without that [09:08] Is there a way to manually save a session? [09:09] Is there a way to enable a right-click on grouped task to "close all" [09:09] That is all ... [09:10] yep [09:10] Great ... how? [09:11] gnome has gnome-session-save :) [09:11] alas I haven't found anything similar for xfce. [09:12] No clue ;/ [09:13] :/ [09:14] You wouldn't by chance know how to change the font size of the tool bar/menu? [09:14] I guess I should look in the menu editor before I ask simple questions like this.. [09:17] Alas it is not there. [09:25] is it dependent on the machine itself whether changing bios boot settings is permanent or can be temporary? [09:48] Font size in Settings\User interface [09:49] BoltClock: I've only seen permanent ones. You save changes, and they're stored ;) [09:49] Valsum: well... i dont think my school will be too happy seeing me boot xubuntu from my thumb drive then :S [09:50] you can restart later and put the boot settings in the bios back [11:32] :leave [15:24] yo guys [15:24] How do i get the cube effect on xubuntu? [15:29] Anyone? [15:30] you can set it in advanced desktop effect settings [15:40] and were do i find that? [15:50] i use to find it in system/prefs [15:53] siggjen: that's in ubuntu [15:54] oki, just execute ccsm then [15:57] siggjen: ccsm? [15:58] compizconfig-settings-manager [16:00] siggjen: no such thing in xubuntu default install [16:01] probably time to install it then [16:02] siggjen: why not isnatll whole gnome then? [16:12] TheSheep how do i get gnome? [16:13] xTheSaintx: install ubuntu :) [16:13] xTheSaintx: xubuntu doesn't have such special effects, you can add them by installing compiz, but it's not standard xubuntu then [16:13] !compiz [16:14] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [16:21] im on a laptop [16:21] so ubuntu wouldnt really go at all fast [16:21] So i got xubuntu [16:28] ubuntu wouldn't really go fast because of, mong other things, cube desktop [18:03] 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] MrLukipela: you have to ask a question [18:07] * cody-somerville nods. [18:10] Yah, sorry, been asking the same question for 3 days with no response. [18:10] 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] MrLukipela: is that an lcd screen? [18:14] Yes, its a laptop [18:14] MrLukipela: do you know what is its native resolution? [18:15] 1024x768 [18:15] What its doing is puting it at 800x600 but instead of streatching to meet the screen it just centers it [18:15] Stretching^ [18:16] what does lspci | grep VGA say? [18:16] (type that in a terminal) [18:16] .. i just tried to copy and paste from one computer to the other. [18:17] there are programs that make it possible :) [18:17] VGA Compatible controller: intel corp. 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 11) [18:17] Yah but im not loading synergy till i get the screen fixed :P [18:18] you cannot switch to 1024x768 with displayconfig-gtk? [18:18] When i do it goes to low graphics mode. [18:18] brb.. wife is yelling ;) [18:19] even if you select intel as the driver? [18:38] 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] Yes, even if i select the intel drivers :D [18:54] TheSheep, Yes. Even if i select the intel drivers. [19:00] is smp not supported in kernel 2.6.24? [19:20] cyzie: it is [19:21] yes, should go for the generic rather than 386 [19:21] iguess that's the different [19:35] hi [19:38] what is the default runlevel in xubuntu ? [19:39] cyzie: they are all the same [19:40] mm i just check, if you dont have inittab in /etc/, then it goes to runlevel 2. [19:40] why are you saying they are all the same ? [19:44] because there is no differencebetween them -- they all start the same services [19:44] except for the special ones, obviously [19:45] 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] 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] 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] anyway, strange that my hardy does not have /etc/inittab.. :-s [19:50] 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] cyzie, http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html [19:51] 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] thanks th0r [21:40] hi, after we initiate connection to the ISP using pon, how does actually the dns process works? [21:50] Hey UBuntuers I am a sorta IRC and UBUNTU noob and have a question [21:52] 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] Cause my hardy heron doesn't do anything [21:53] hello? [21:54] u need /etc/inittab [21:54] cyzie my new friend! [21:54] Thank allah for you! [21:54] i have heard of this initab thing before [21:55] Do I need to put something in it?? [21:55] yes [21:55] check for some example, gtg now [21:55] bye [21:59] gee that helped a lot [21:59] php people are so much cooler [21:59] is there a xubuntu theme for opera? [22:04] why does xubuntu crash all the time? [22:07] is there any way to make xubuntu more stable like my xp? [22:36] n8 [22:38] anyone know when a patched xubuntu livecd will be made (with the SSL vuln fixed) [22:41] (tap tap) is this thing on? [22:57] hello [23:05] any know if an update livecd will be made available with fixes to the ssl vuln [23:16] bminuk2: all images has been updated as soon as tthe fix was released [23:41] TheSheep: sorry for the delay - on #ubuntu. The website indicates that the livecd does not contain the fix.
