[01:05] <kristal> leafpad doesn't have syntax highlighting... what's the simplest editor that does? scite has bad font rendering
[01:08] <Unit193> mousepad
[01:28] <ianorlin> nano has syntax highlighting
[01:28] <kristal> nano... but my terminal is busy with running things, and man
[01:28] <ianorlin> you have tabs
[01:29] <kristal> tabs are for web browsers :P
[01:30] <Unit193> I'd assume you know of tmux and screen.  vim has syntax too, but that's beside the point.
[01:30] <kristal> screen is the ultimate thing for ssh
[05:23] <hyperair> tmux.
[05:26] <Myrtti> +1 for tmux
[09:55] <melodie> hello
[10:03] <jokoon> hello
[10:03] <jokoon> Im planning to run lubuntu on a mac
[10:03] <jokoon> which version should I use
[10:04] <jokoon> Is 13.10 fine ?
[10:05] <jokoon> I mean 13.04
[10:05] <jokoon> macbook pro with dual core
[10:05] <jokoon> intel thing
[10:05] <jokoon> Seems there are both 64bit images
[10:06] <jokoon> one for pc one for mac why is that
[10:25] <melodie> hi
[10:26] <melodie> if you are not in a hurry, you could wait the next version which will be ready in october (perhaps at the end?)
[10:26] <melodie> jokoon images for Intel images for PPC
[10:28] <jokoon> no there are 3 images
[10:28] <jokoon> one PPC
[10:28] <jokoon> one AMD64-mac
[10:28] <jokoon> one amd64-pc
[10:29] <jokoon> I'm not really in a hurry, but I'd like this to be done quickly
[10:29] <jokoon> is lxde lighter than xfce ?
[10:34] <jokoon> I'm still wondering, how can most applications made compatible with all desktop environments ?
[10:34] <jokoon> I mean each app use a specific window manager right ?
[10:35] <kristal> 13.10 has bugs but no show-stoppers
[10:35] <kristal> lxde is the lightest of all the proper desktops
[10:36] <kristal> If you're using a PPC mac the lightness helps a lot.
[10:46] <jokoon> I have a intel mac
=== ubott2 is now known as ubottu
[16:22] <Yinseng> Anyone around? I need some advice.
[16:22] <wxl> !ask | Yinseng
[16:22] <ubottu> Yinseng: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[16:24] <Yinseng> God I hate freenode.
[16:25] <Myrtti> go on...
[16:26] <Yinseng> I have an old Inspiron 710m laptop that I've been trying to restore to working order and it doesn't seem to like Windows XP. It has some sort of keyboard buffer problem that I haven't been able to fix where it's missing keystrokes. So I'm thinking Lubuntu is the solution for me.
[16:26] <Myrtti> ok
[16:26] <Myrtti> sounds like a good idea
[16:27] <Yinseng> Only problem? I try to install Lubuntu and it tells me I'm missing a pae kernel. Supposedly Pentium M is pae compatible but isn't flagged properly. I look up how to fix it, the instructions are all very complicated, over my head as someone new to Linux. I'm not exactly sure which route to take, or if there's even a better one yet.
[16:30] <Yinseng> InstalledSystem seems like the most failproof route but it warns at the bottom that Lubuntu Raring is going to stop updating soon or something, and the Saucy build is an alpha. grub-n-iso seems to call for a USB drive, which I don't have. And the long way of doing it... well, any number of things could go wrong, things I don't have the experience to fix if they do.
[16:33] <Yinseng> I'm frustrated because I was told that this would be easy, but due to this flag test it runs that you can't bypass it's anything but.
[16:40] <Myrtti> I don't have any experience on such problems myself so I cant help - sorry
