| magnetron | !ask > Markeda |
| thelostpatrol | hehe* i typed in chmod +x /home/my name/Desktop/fontscript.txt and nothing worked... help? |
| crusie | andreas_ well ok |
| Markeda | I've been through the documentation and done some research on Google, but I can't get anything to install on Kubuntu with Adept, tar.gz files or apt-get. Is there anything special you need to be able to install something? |
| RobbieCrash | How can I fix this error? http://pastebin.ca/468144 I finally got old nvidia drivers installed and working. but cannot get glx going. I am on edgy, with a geforce 7600 with nvidia 1.0-8776 drivers installed. |
| andreas_ | crusie: xfce is the lightest of them, tho I seemed to have no fps problems with gnome when I tried to run wow. |
| detlou | after the chmod you have to execute the script ./fontscript.txt |
| un4get | if im doing "mount" i cant resize the HD using GParted, I have a "Lock" sign next to the hard drives.... |

| hammer | i can alt tab them yes |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, now Grub is booting up Ubuntu directly without giving me a menu at all....time to look at the menu file, looks like |
| thelostpatrol | crusie - stick to dual booting until you get comfy i say |
| crusie | thelostpatrol, it's what I intend to do :d |
| un4get | im doing "mount" i cant resize the HD using GParted, I have a "Lock" sign next to the hard drives.... |
| hammer | i have items on my task bar such as konqueror and the little house and kmenu having a hard time undersatnding |
| andreas_ | crusie: I'm just heart broken I can't get WoW to work, neither on wine or crossover lol. If you have enough memory, I think it will run about the same on all three window managers. Its worth trying out before you decide which one you will live with for the next months or year or whatever. |
| thelostpatrol | crusie - well done |
| crusie | how much is "enough" ? |
| maki | the xubuntu live cd will work well on 256 mb of ram ? |
| thelostpatrol | that is what i'm doing too |

| Music_Shuffle | maki: it'll run |

| andreas_ | maki: its your best bet maki: I got 2 gig and I cant figure out how to use up more than 500 meg, haha. |

| MoL1 | maki: great new! new=news |
| thelostpatrol | i typed in chmod +x /home/my name/Desktop/fontscript.txt and nothing worked... help? |
