| tadpole_jackson | what's the ram requirement for lubutu? | 08:10 |
|---|---|---|
| tadpole_jackson | i've got a low ram system | 08:11 |
| bioterror | ~192MB | 08:11 |
| tadpole_jackson | i have 256, this ought to be fun | 08:11 |
| tadpole_jackson | is 2 gigs of space enough for an install of lubuntu? | 08:54 |
| jmarsden | No. You need slightly more than that for a normal from-the-Lubuntu-CD install of Lubuntu. | 08:57 |
| jmarsden | The official 11.04 CDs say they ned 5.3GB. My tweaked equivalent will install into 2.7GB. | 08:57 |
| jmarsden | If you need to fit in something smaller, you might be able to do it using the mini.iso and then installing lubuntu-core ... | 08:58 |
| jmarsden | tadpole_jackson: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall if you want to try that approach. | 09:00 |
| elros | hi | 10:41 |
| photon | hi | 10:41 |
| elros | if you want to install lubuntu, the easiest way is to install the lubuntu-desktop metapackage | 10:42 |
| elros | if you want to have less footprint, you can install lubuntu-core and just the programs you want/need | 10:42 |
| photon | alright, I will try that and come back if I have any questions, thanks! | 10:43 |
| irc-neo | hi, guys! | 15:08 |
| irc-neo | can i install lubuntu 11.04 on my Celeron 900MHz, 384Mb ? | 15:09 |
| bigjocker | irc-neo, minimum requirements for lubuntu installer is 256MB, so yes, you should be able to install it | 15:32 |
| Modris_ | irc-neo, i use lubuntu on compaq evo n160 with 900mhz and 384Mb. I use it for web usage and that is ok. after 6+ tabs in chrome it eat almost all ram :-) | 15:42 |
| irc-neo | Modris_: i can't find nvidia driver for gforce 2mx( | 15:43 |
| Modris_ | irc-neo, i'm not expert on linux... my vga lubuntu find automatical. search 2mx driver for ubuntu or ask some experts there. | 15:45 |
| bigjocker | Modris_, tried restricted drivers? | 16:01 |
| Modris_ | bigjocker, thank that not for me. I dont have problems, irc-neo was... | 16:02 |
| bigjocker | oh | 16:02 |
| bigjocker | sorry | 16:02 |

| tadpole_jackson | what the fu | 19:51 |
| tadpole_jackson | how can you drop support for the via c3 | 19:51 |
| tadpole_jackson | x86 is supposed to be x86 | 19:52 |
| tadpole_jackson | how can you make it not work and what does this mean to me? | 19:52 |
| bioterror | your cpu is crappy :D | 19:52 |
| bioterror | it's not i686 | 19:52 |
| bioterror | it's i586 | 19:52 |
| bioterror | use 10.04 | 19:52 |
| tadpole_jackson | what happens if i don't | 19:53 |
| tadpole_jackson | the live environment worked fine | 19:53 |
| tadpole_jackson | it's a Nehemiah C3, it should have SSE and SSE2 | 19:54 |
| bioterror | almost 10 years old cpu's | 19:55 |
| tadpole_jackson | more like 5 but okay | 19:55 |
| bioterror | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VIA_C3_microprocessors | 19:55 |
| tadpole_jackson | cool. | 19:56 |
| tadpole_jackson | i have a nehemiah | 19:56 |
| tadpole_jackson | from 05 | 19:56 |
| tadpole_jackson | it's a new core, not the same thing | 19:56 |
| tadpole_jackson | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_C3#Nehemiah_cores | 19:58 |
| bioterror | Nehemiah should be i686 | 19:58 |
| bioterror | Ezra is i586 | 19:58 |
| tadpole_jackson | so if i'm using an i686 i can disregard the lack of kernel support? | 19:58 |
| tadpole_jackson | the live cd booted and functioned | 19:58 |
| bioterror | sounds weird | 19:59 |
| bioterror | if livecd works, why installation does not | 19:59 |
| bioterror | boot into single user mode and check logs | 19:59 |
| tadpole_jackson | installation didn't not work | 19:59 |
| tadpole_jackson | i just don't have enough memory to pull it off | 19:59 |
| tadpole_jackson | so i'm installing onto it's drive from another computer | 19:59 |
| bioterror | !mini | tadpole_jackson | 20:00 |
| ubot5 | tadpole_jackson: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 20:00 |
| bioterror | use that and lubuntu-core then | 20:00 |
| melinda | hi all... quick question.... why does Lubuntu set the DESKTOP_SESSION environment variable to 'Lubuntu' and not 'LXDE' | 21:12 |
| melinda | this causes problems with some scripts that do Desktop Environment detection using that method... in particular xdg-open! | 21:13 |
| melinda | hence the annoying problem that pcmanfm isn't used to chromium to open folders... | 21:13 |
| melinda | I've fixed the problem by making xdg-open check for both LXDE and Lubuntu values, but I suspect the /correct/ fix is to make Lubuntu set the variable to the standard LXDE value, which is already neatly handled by xdg-open | 21:15 |
