OptiplexGX620 | no, http://forums.ubuntu.com/ ?? | 01:41 |
knome | yes | 01:42 |
OptiplexGX620 | nope | 01:42 |
knome | that might be helpful, while you're waiting | 01:43 |
OptiplexGX620 | yes, I have a result for 3COM I'm reading... | 01:44 |
OptiplexGX620 | It's called "Old crappy Laptops", LOL | 01:44 |

ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:46 |
knome | that link will also talk about ndw | 01:46 |
OptiplexGX620 | Ahh | 01:46 |
OptiplexGX620 | Ok, so Xubuntu supports my card I've found so far... | 01:48 |
knome | OptiplexGX620, that is definitely good news:) | 01:49 |
OptiplexGX620 | And my WUSB11 adapter... | 01:50 |
OptiplexGX620 | Thx 4 the link ubottu | 01:50 |
knome | OptiplexGX620, ubottu is pretty much just a bot used for remembering links so we (humans) don't have to :) | 01:51 |
OptiplexGX620 | No joking? Cuz I took that literally | 01:53 |
OptiplexGX620 | Remember https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo | 01:53 |
knome | no, i'm not joking. :) | 01:53 |
OptiplexGX620 | Really helpful | 01:53 |
OptiplexGX620 | Is "network-admin" still on Ubuntu/Xubuntu? | 02:05 |
OptiplexGX620 | The link is really old | 02:06 |
OptiplexGX620 | Ok, help. Xubuntu doesn't detect my floppy disk drive | 02:35 |
OptiplexGX620 | Is there someway I can check if it's there somewhere? | 02:36 |
OptiplexGX620 | I could try to put it on a USB stick | 02:38 |
OptiplexGX620 | Not recognizing the USB stick either! Stupid messed up built-for-Windows-95 Laptop | 02:40 |
OptiplexGX620 | Oh hey it really was built for 95; I just took a guess | 02:41 |
OptiplexGX620 | Aaaaaaaaaaaah!! It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"!!! | 02:42 |
OptiplexGX620 | Hey, I'll just throw away this piece of junk; totally useless. | 03:02 |

Pudabudigada | Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help, my cpu is constantly at 100% even though i'm only using xchat and firefox | 20:42 |
Sysi | flash websites makes any processor run 100% | 20:43 |
Sysi | low-end? | 20:43 |
Pres-Gas | Pudabudigada, do you have many tabs open and how many of those tabs are running flash? | 20:43 |
Pudabudigada | 3 tabs, one flash | 20:43 |
Pres-Gas | Pudabudigada, are you running 64 bit linux? | 20:44 |
Pres-Gas | ...and what is your flash plugin? | 20:44 |
Pres-Gas | ...can you tell we all suspect flash? ;) | 20:44 |
Pudabudigada | Adobe (yes I know!) | 20:44 |
Pudabudigada | 32 bit | 20:44 |
charlie-tca | close any terminal open | 20:45 |
Pudabudigada | Proc: Celeron m 2.4Ghz RAM: ~770MB | 20:45 |
Pudabudigada | no terminals open | 20:45 |
* charlie-tca wanted to be different | 20:46 | |
Pres-Gas | charlie-tca, ahh I forgot about that possible bug...or is that confirmed now | 20:46 |
Pudabudigada | k | 20:46 |
charlie-tca | It is confirmed | 20:46 |
Pudabudigada | bug? | 20:46 |
Sysi | it's maverick only? | 20:46 |
charlie-tca | as far as I know | 20:46 |
Sysi | not supported here :P | 20:46 |
charlie-tca | but bugs move, sometimes | 20:47 |
Pres-Gas | ...darn 6 legged things! | 20:47 |
knome | not once they're splatted to the wall | 20:47 |
Pudabudigada | May have been flash, the meter is now dancing from 40-100% | 20:47 |
Sysi | if you're using "system monitor", it can use 30% | 20:47 |
Pres-Gas | Pudabudigada, what is the output of "free -m"? | 20:48 |
Pres-Gas | 770 megs of ram these days is slim even with a light distro | 20:48 |
Pudabudigada | Killed system monitor, now it's at 40-50% | 20:48 |
Pudabudigada | free -m gives: | 20:49 |
Pudabudigada | pudabudigada@pudabudigada-laptop:/$ free -m | 20:49 |
Pudabudigada | total used free shared buffers cached | 20:49 |
Pudabudigada | Mem: 685 504 180 0 35 245 | 20:49 |
Pudabudigada | -/+ buffers/cache: 223 462 | 20:49 |
Pudabudigada | Swap: 528 0 528 | 20:49 |
Pudabudigada | pudabudigada@pudabudigada-laptop:/$ | 20:49 |
Pudabudigada | which is at odds with what my monitor says | 20:50 |
Pudabudigada | it says 223 used | 20:50 |

Pres-Gas | Well, he is not swapping/paging.... | 20:50 |
Pudabudigada | The odd thing is that with no more flash it works, but it runs youtube fine | 20:51 |
Pudabudigada | Though i was here: ashens.com | 20:51 |
Pudabudigada | by 'works' mean low cpu usage | 20:52 |
Pudabudigada | seems flash is the culprit, just youtube pushes the cpu monitor to 95% | 20:59 |
