[08:10] <tadpole_jackson> what's the ram requirement for lubutu?
[08:11] <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
[08:54] <tadpole_jackson> is 2 gigs of space enough for an install of lubuntu?
[08:57] <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.
[08:58] <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 ...
[09:00] <jmarsden> tadpole_jackson: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall   if you want to try that approach.
[10:41] <elros> hi
[10:41] <photon> hi
[10:42] <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
[10:43] <photon> alright, I will try that and come back if I have any questions, thanks!
[15:08] <irc-neo> hi, guys!
[15:09] <irc-neo> can i install lubuntu 11.04 on my Celeron 900MHz, 384Mb ?
[15:32] <bigjocker> irc-neo, minimum requirements for lubuntu installer is 256MB, so yes, you should be able to install it
[15:42] <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 :-)
[15:43] <irc-neo> Modris_: i can't find nvidia driver for gforce 2mx(
[15:45] <Modris_> irc-neo, i'm not expert on linux... my vga lubuntu find automatical. search 2mx driver for ubuntu or ask some experts there.
[16:01] <bigjocker> Modris_, tried restricted drivers?
[16:02] <Modris_> bigjocker, thank that not for me. I dont have problems, irc-neo was...
[16:02] <bigjocker> oh
[16:02] <bigjocker> sorry
[19:51] <tadpole_jackson> what the fu
[19:51] <tadpole_jackson> how can you drop support for the via c3
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <tadpole_jackson> what happens if i don't
[19:53] <tadpole_jackson> the live environment worked fine
[19:54] <tadpole_jackson> it's a Nehemiah C3, it should have SSE and SSE2
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <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
[19:58] <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
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <bioterror> !mini | tadpole_jackson
[20:00] <bioterror> use that and lubuntu-core then
[21:12] <melinda> hi all... quick question.... why does Lubuntu set the DESKTOP_SESSION environment variable to 'Lubuntu' and not 'LXDE'
[21:13] <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...
[21:15] <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
