| sam896 | Hello. So I just switched from Ubuntu to xubuntu. Same hardware. Same setup, just a different DE. I am noticing that xfce is very sensitive to disk activity. Video's are skipping around where they used to not to under the same conditions. Any ideas? | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| SunStar | install smartmontools | 00:22 |
| SunStar | sounds like ur hard drive is pre-fail | 00:22 |
| SunStar | xfce runs fast on everything no matter how old or new. when its not, 90% of the time thats a hard drive issue. | 00:23 |
| sam896 | SunStar: But it works fine in gnome fine. I even went back on a live cd and the issue is gone. | 00:28 |
| SunStar | bad install iso | 00:29 |
| sam896 | I know it doesn't sound likely but in this case there's something with the cubuntu install that's causing the issue. I did a smart test and the drive is fine. I could do the manufacturer's diagnostics. | 00:29 |
| sam896 | I did the check before I installed. | 00:29 |
| SunStar | go with what works. no one will believe me but i have an 11 year old laptop that runs faster on KDE than XFCE | 00:29 |
| sam896 | It's fairly new hardware. It's not old or anything | 00:30 |
| SunStar | WHAT VIDEO DRIVER ARE YOU RUNNING? | 00:31 |
| SunStar | oops | 00:31 |
| sam896 | same ones. I just install nvidia-current and nvidia-settings | 00:31 |
| SunStar | x.org driver is a bit choppy with video but i've had less issues with it than amd/nvidia proprietary | 00:32 |
| sam896 | Do you think that would really matter though? I mean the installs are the same, only thing that differs is xubuntu-desktop instead of ubuntu-desktop | 00:34 |
| SunStar | well you dont need to install xubuntu to use xfce: http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-xfce-4-10-on-ubuntu-13-04-12-10-12-04-and-linux-mint-15-14-13/ | 00:38 |
| SunStar | just use what works and try installing xfce | 00:38 |
| slooksterpsv | my computer keeps just shutting down when I'm in Xubuntu usually when watching a youtube video or have multiple programs going; I was thinking it was overheating but now I'm not sure | 00:39 |
| SunStar | http://www.techdrivein.com/2013/06/monitor-cpu-temperatures-ubuntu1304-xsensors.html | 00:40 |
| sam896 | SunStar: There are reasons I don't want to use plain Ubuntu. I like xfce. Just with these disk access issues | 00:42 |
| SunStar | well there is also Ubuntu Studio you could give a whirl or you can stick around / check back / check in with the forums | 00:49 |
| SunStar | http://ubuntustudio.org/ | 00:50 |
| shawnb | ok so I ran powertop --calibrate; I have xsensors running in the background. it says my acpitz ranges from 67c to 99c | 00:50 |
| shawnb | sorry got booted for a sec | 00:54 |
| shawnb | yeah it jumps up just when using terminal to like 102c ouch | 00:55 |
| xubuntu255 | spanis? | 01:21 |
| xubuntu255 | spanish? | 01:21 |
| xubuntu255 | hello | 01:21 |
| shawnb | unfortunately I don't know spanish | 01:22 |
| broadcomsux | can some 1 explain the offline install instructions for the b43-lpphy to me? they are far too vague and i don't understand what they are really asking me to do. i have installed b43-fwcutter and downloaded broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3_mipsel.tar.bz2 ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx ) | 01:55 |
| Gilligan94 | Hi, anyone know what xubuntu's plans are with regards to mir? | 06:19 |
| holstein | !mir | 06:20 |
| ubottu | Mir is the next-generation display server currently under development by Canonical and Ubuntu. It's slated for inclusion in Ubuntu 14.04. For more information on it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec . For code, see https://launchpad.net/mir | 06:20 |
| Gilligan94 | thanks, holstein. but will xubuntu be adopting it? | 06:20 |
| holstein | Gilligan94: i would join the dev mailing list.. AFAIK, there is testing in progress.. i have no details | 06:22 |
| Gilligan94 | ok, thanks | 06:22 |
| Sysi | xubuntu will use (x)mir | 06:33 |
