| head_victim | :D | 08:43 |
| redvil | any suggestions for a video player besides vlc guys? | 10:24 |
| head_victim | xine is a popular one but I've not used anything but vlc, exaile (for audio) or me-tv for tv. | 10:26 |
| redvil | head_victim: will give xine a go mate | 10:27 |
| head_victim | No worries, choppy video is usually a hardware or driver issue though not a player issue. | 10:29 |
| redvil | ok.. | 10:30 |
| redvil | do you recommend installing an older version of vlc? | 10:32 |
| sagaci | nah, is the video 720/1080p? | 10:33 |
| sagaci | ie. HD | 10:33 |
| redvil | i didn't have problems before when i was using Lucid..now that i changed to Natty that's when it starts to play choppy videos | 10:37 |
| head_victim | What version of window manager are you using? With a computer with those specifications I'd definitely recommend nothing other than Lubuntu | 10:37 |
| head_victim | If you're trying to do 3d graphics in natty as well as play videos that cpu will not cope | 10:38 |
| redvil | my window manager? | 10:41 |
| redvil | when i installed natty it told me Unity can't be installed so that's why i stick to Classic | 10:42 |
| head_victim | Moving forward I don't see a future for your computer and recent versions of gnome if it's only a 1.8ghz single core processor. I'd start looking around at other options and find one you like. | 10:51 |
| redvil | head_victim: im looking for my ubuntu lucid disc..might reinstall it instead | 10:52 |
| head_victim | redvil: have a look at Lubuntu | 10:53 |
| head_victim | it's up to day and will continue to be aimed at lower specced computers. | 10:53 |
| head_victim | That means it will get all the security and bug fixes that lucid won't. | 10:53 |
| redvil | ok..thanks for the suggestion | 10:53 |
| redvil | it has vlc too right? | 10:53 |
| head_victim | I ran it on a 2.4 celeron processor when I gave up on gnome | 10:53 |
| head_victim | You can install any software from the Ubuntu repository on it :) | 10:54 |
| redvil | so it's basically ubuntu with a different window manager? | 10:54 |
| head_victim | It is just a bit more spartan as far as looks and features but still the same beast underneath. | 10:54 |
| redvil | what about wifi...? | 10:54 |
| head_victim | Should work as normal | 10:55 |
| head_victim | Test it with a livecd would be my suggestion | 10:55 |
| head_victim | See what it looks like and how it works. Remembering that it will be quicker when it's actually on the hard drive properly | 10:55 |
| head_victim | That's the beauty of Ubuntu and Linux in general. If one option doesn't work, there are plenty of others to try. | 10:55 |
| redvil | no worries...i will definitely give that a go... | 10:56 |
| redvil | should i get it from ubuntu or distrowatch..or does it even matter where? | 10:57 |
| head_victim | redvil: I notice your with optus so you might find it quicker to get it from http://mirror.optus.net/ubuntu-releases/ | 11:02 |
| head_victim | Hmm actually that doesn't mirror Lubuntu | 11:02 |
| head_victim | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/11.10/release/ is probably the easiest and most reliable then | 11:03 |
| head_victim | sagaci: I notice aarnet doesn't have lubuntu either :/ | 11:03 |
| redvil | i totally forgot about that one.. | 11:03 |
| sagaci | head_victim: put in a request? | 11:04 |
| redvil | so for my download server i should just select mirror.optus.net rather than aarnet.edu? | 11:06 |
| sagaci | we're under 40,000 strings | 11:07 |
| head_victim | redvil: depends on what works better for you. I don't think there is any real benefit to using one over the other as long as they're both up to date and quick enough. | 11:07 |
| head_victim | redvil: for people on Telstra aarnet is unmetered data so it's preferred but for other ISPs there are other options | 11:08 |
| redvil | ok | 11:08 |
| sagaci | head_victim: Bigpond* | 11:09 |
| redvil | does the 'l' in front of lubuntu stand for something? | 11:09 |
| head_victim | sagaci: good point, telstra business have no unmetered, only Bigpond users (wired or wireless) have unmetered | 11:10 |
| head_victim | redvil: stands for LXDE which is the window manager | 11:10 |
| head_victim | it's more lightweight than gnome, kde or xfce. | 11:10 |
| redvil | if it's learners then i think it's really suited for me.. | 11:10 |
| head_victim | But in my experience it's a good mix of lightweight and easy to use | 11:10 |
| head_victim | I've used it for a few releases. | 11:11 |
| head_victim | Anyway, I have to head off for the evening, 3am wake up call :/ | 11:12 |
| redvil | g'night mate..thanks again | 11:12 |
| head_victim | Here to help :) | 11:12 |
| redvil | g'night all .o/ | 11:15 |
