kinskhi13:32
kinskWhat are the memory requirements for lubuntu in order for the system to be perfectly usable ?13:33
head_victimkinsk: that depends on how you define perfectly usable and what you want to do with it13:36
head_victimWhat computer are you going to try running it on?13:37
kinski want to use it in a virtual machine and give it 1gb of ram and 1 processor13:37
head_victimThat will be plenty to do most things easily13:37
head_victimBeing a VM though, it's easy to test it out to make sure it actually does what you want.13:38
kinskI'll give it a try.13:38
head_victimI find CPUs to be more limiting these days than ram, ram is so cheap and easily upgradeable that it's not usually an issue.13:38
kinskYes but I'm limited to 4GB unfortunately.13:39
kinskI'm on a notebook BTW.13:39
head_victimI used to run it on a 2.4 celeron processor with 1gb ram and Lubuntu was the only thing I'd run on it, nothing else was bearable.13:41
LinoSPI want to buy a usb wireless adapter but i dunno if it work in lubuntu13:51
LinoSPcan u recomend me a specific chipset?13:52
echoprinterWhen playing a music file the media player sounds like a CD skipping. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Google doesn't seem to be much help at the moment.14:13
holsteinechoprinter: you should have realistic expectations of your hardware... what are the specs?14:45
holsteinyou can always go in a rev the ALSA version one way or the other14:45
holsteinwhen i have problems like that, i typically break out a few live CD's to see if i can gain any helpful information14:46
echoprinterholstein: Where do I find the specs at? Soundcard worked on ubuntu with no issues so I know I can get it to work.14:58
holsteinechoprinter: yeah, but the same version of ubuntu?15:00
holsteinthere are different kernels, and different ALSA versions15:00
echoprinterholstein: yeah, it worked on 10.04, 10.10, & 11.04.15:00
holsteinechoprinter: right15:01
holsteinand now you have 11.10?15:01
echoprinterI have 10.1015:01
holsteinOK15:01
holsteinso, 10.10 ubuntu was good, 10.10 lubuntu is bad15:01
echoprinteryes.15:01
holsteinif i were you.... i would get the live version of 11.10, and see if the issue is resolved there, and consider upgrading now15:02
echoprinterdoes 11.04 use all of those resources that ubuntu uses? Ubuntu 11.04 *is* the reason I decided to go with Lubuntu, and besides the audio issue I am very happy with it so far.15:03
holsteinlubuntu = ubuntu15:04
holsteinit uses the same repos, has the same access to the same packages15:04
holsteinthe same default kernel15:04
echoprinterso it used Unity, right?15:04
holsteinechoprinter: right15:04
echoprinterdoes it show Lubuntu down?15:04
holsteinand you can apt get unity in lubuntu for example15:04
echoprinterslow, I mean.15:05
holstein?15:05
holsteinthat would in effect change you over to ubuntu from lubuntu15:05
holsteinwith all of the changes in speed/performance/functionality15:06
holsteinim just pointing out that they are not that different15:06
holsteinwhat i usually do, for troubleshooint.. i'll get live CD's.... when i get something working, i'll note the kernel version or ALSA version... whatever packages that might effect performance15:07
echoprinterI'll get a Live CD then and try it out. Also, how can I install a new Desktop enviroments if I wanted to use Gnome on 10.10.15:08
echoprinterthat's the last quetsion. :)15:08
holsteinyou can open whatever pacakge manger you use, and search gnome15:08
echoprinterah...okay.15:09
holsteinthere are also meta-packages15:09
holsteinubuntu-desktop15:09
holsteinlubuntu-destkop15:09
echoprinterholstein: thanks, you've been very helpful.15:09
holsteinechoprinter: anytime... let us know about the audio issue... that should be easy enough when you figure out whats causing the problemm15:10
echoprinterok, I will.15:10
