| subman | I assume that installing/running lubuntu under ubuntu installed with sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop is the same as running it by installing just it alone | 01:54 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Not quite, you'll have all the gnome/unity leftovers/daemons. Not even !purelubuntu is *quite* the same. | 01:57 |
| Unit193 | !purelubuntu | 01:57 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 01:57 |
| subman | Unit193, I understand but is the performance/experience about the same? I'm just testing 13.04 and was wondering if reporting anything I find is worth it. | 01:59 |
| subman | Problems I might encounter could be due to my method of installation/running. | 01:59 |
| subman | So far it seems to run much lighter and faster than xubuntu/xfce | 02:00 |
| Unit193 | Xubuntu leans towards lightweight at times, but considers itself midweight. | 02:02 |
| subman | It seems that way for sure. This is noticeably faster and lighter. Memory requirements are much less, cpu usage is very low. | 02:03 |
| subman | The clock defaulting to 24 hour format is a pita for me personally. | 02:04 |
| subman | firefox seems to be the major resource hog no matter what flavour of Ubuntu I run! | 02:12 |
| Unit193 | You can always try xxxterm/xombrero. | 02:15 |
| subman | chromium seems light enough so far. | 02:22 |
| subman | I've never hear of xombrero until now. I just might have to try that! | 02:24 |
| subman | Thanks | 02:24 |
| phillw | subman: there is a 'test' version of xombrero available via the dev area. | 02:26 |
| subman | 'dev area'? | 02:27 |
| phillw | subman: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/non-official-apps | 02:28 |
| phillw | it is an area where the devs 'try' things out. | 02:29 |
| subman | phillw, trying it right now! Thanks. | 02:35 |
| subman | Chromium is light though. What makes FF so heavy? | 02:35 |
| Unit193 | FF is actually ligher for me. >_> | 02:35 |
| subman | Unit193, maybe it is the pages I'm on. Like google+ | 02:36 |
| phillw | subman: the new FF is better (Don't quote me). | 02:36 |
| subman | I think I'm at version 20? | 02:37 |
| Unit193 | That could be part of it, I'm at version 22. | 02:37 |
| subman | Ah.....Not in 13.04? | 02:37 |
| phillw | subman: lubuntu 13,04 will launch with chromium | 02:38 |
| phillw | as default | 02:38 |
| Unit193 | I'm on 12.10. It's been better for my usecase anyway for a bit. | 02:39 |
| subman | It looks like Chromium beats xombrero in both 'lightness' and speed. | 02:40 |
| Unit193 | 0_o You have one weird, weird system. :P | 02:40 |
| subman | Standard netbook | 02:40 |
| subman | Watching with htop | 02:40 |
| Unit193 | Are you including all of chromium's processes? | 02:42 |
| subman | Right now I'm looking at overall load | 02:42 |
| phillw | subman: if you have xombrero using more resources than a a normal browser, you have a real problem... | 02:43 |
| subman | xombrero uses around 20% of my cpu and 42% of memory. | 02:44 |
| subman | I'll now check chromium. Exact numbers should not matter as this is comparative | 02:44 |
| subman | my load with xombrero is .57 | 02:44 |
| subman | Chromium takes 17% of memory and 6% of cpu. load is .32 | 02:47 |
| subman | Same pages loaded | 02:48 |
| phillw | subman: as we are discussing possible stuff, as opposed to actual; can you please move to lubuntu-offtopic | 02:48 |
| subman | phillw, done. | 02:49 |

| linuxdumb | I have installed lubuntu 12.04, if I choose to install all the updates from update manager will that upgrade my version of Lubuntu to the latest version which I think is 12.10, or do the updates not chance what release you have installed? | 11:34 |
| Wendigo | Would Lubuntu run well on a IBM Thinkpad R51, Pentium M 1.6GHz, 768MB of RAM, 40GB of HD, ATI Mobility Radeon 9000? | 14:21 |
| miksd | does that cpu have PAE support? | 14:29 |
| miksd | i had some older laptop ith pentium m cpu and it did not have PAE support and therefore was not able to run newer versions of ubuntu because newer ubuntu kernels does not have non-pae cpu support | 14:31 |
| mikeconcepts | sh: 1: inxi: not found | 16:22 |
| pinportal | hello, can I install Lubuntu on a tablet with CPU WM8650 ? | 20:03 |
| phillw | pinportal: what size is the hard drive? | 20:22 |
| pinportal | 1GB | 20:23 |
| phillw | pinportal: none of the ubuntu family will install with just 1GB | 20:24 |
| phillw | it's an ARM processor? | 20:24 |
| pinportal | yes... | 20:24 |
| phillw | lubuntu only have an image for the ac100 | 20:25 |
| pinportal | http://www.wondermedia.com.tw/en/products/platform/soc/wm8650/ | 20:25 |
| pinportal | this is my tablet CPU | 20:26 |
| pinportal | 600Mhz ARM926EJ-S processor | 20:26 |
| phillw | pinportal: have a read of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARMTeam that has details of where to ask. | 20:27 |
| pinportal | because | 20:28 |
| pinportal | I installed on there | 20:28 |
| pinportal | a android 2.2 | 20:28 |
| pinportal | but It is slow on my tablet | 20:28 |
| pinportal | so I wanna try Lubuntu | 20:28 |
| pinportal | :) | 20:28 |
| phillw | I know there is a lubuntu arm distro that runs with 512Mb. But the ARM team are the best people to ask :) | 20:29 |
| phillw | they welcome new people :) | 20:29 |
| pinportal | oh ... | 20:30 |
| pinportal | thanks :D | 20:30 |
| pinportal | beucase | 20:30 |
| pinportal | bacause* | 20:30 |
| pinportal | because I know that Ubuntu for tablet | 20:30 |
| pinportal | will be very heavy | 20:30 |
| pinportal | so will need a good CPU :( | 20:31 |
| pinportal | maybe FirefoxOS could help me | 20:31 |
| phillw | pinportal: that is why I suggest asking them. I have no idea if the ac100 iso would run on your system. They will be able to help you. Their channel is #ubuntu-arm | 20:32 |
| pinportal | ok thanks ) | 20:34 |
| pinportal | :D | 20:34 |
| pinportal | I will try it, bye | 20:34 |
| phillw | I've also joined the channel | 20:35 |
