[04:26] https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/lubuntu-daily https://launchpad.net/~gilir/+archive/ubuntu/q-project [04:26] Is there a "just lxqt" repo? [04:35] nvm ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily works fine [05:04] Welp, I'm on LXQtubuntu 14.10 [05:05] 15.04 LXQt Lubuntu ? :) It seems pretty close [06:31] Hello, I was just asking ... whats average lubuntu memory consumption at no activity, only desktop [06:31] and some daemons, of course :P [06:31] ram:200-300mb [06:33] do you know what's xubuntu's? [06:33] interestingly LXQt lubuntu sems to use only 20MB more ram, [06:34] xubuntu is 20MB more [06:34] A lot of base RAm usage is for thigns that are jsut loaded and sitting around [06:38] dpkg_i, so lxqt will use 320mb ram? [06:38] with/without kwin? [06:39] kwin is 10mb bigger than openbox if i remember [06:42] well I dont wanna imagine about last ubuntu [06:42] I guess is up to 700 MB [06:43] it's just that im so engaged to GNOME [06:50] 2, or 3? [06:50] 3 [06:50] dpkg_i [06:50] gnome's arrogance wiped out a huge chunk of it's userbase [06:51] hehe, well its true [06:52] whats funnier that even centos goes for it [06:56] gnome has big corporate love for some reason, never understood why as it's an awful desktop for workstations [06:58] whats best desktop environment for workstations in your opinion [07:05] KDE for desktop, anything puny for POS [07:05] I use LXDE or minimal things and KDE for big things. [07:06] Used to use flux but nothing these days is weak enough to justify that [07:06] Even the smallest embedded computers have 512MB of RAM these days. [07:09] so far I think using any HTTP based thing which offers graphical interface for server admin and monitoring [07:09] solves out the need of a desktop environment [07:13] chromeOS lol [19:49] Looking for suggestions for a program to set up dual monitors [19:49] arnadr is a tool that is a bit heavier tha lxrandr but will do that job [19:49] it is also possible in the command line with xrandr [19:50] arandr is easier [19:50] jxshxx: if you are using nvidia and the proprietary driver - nvidia-settings should do it too [19:54] Alright, thanks! [21:30] <]Spectre[> hi, I have a problem with the wifi,after an upgrade on my lubuntu "trusty" 14.04 I can't connect to my wifi anymore, if I run windows 7 in a virtual machine I can go on wifi without problem, can you help me ?

I'm using the wifi key connected on the pc on lubuntu,but on my lubuntu I've installed wmware player that runs windows 7,and inside of windows 7 I can run the wifi key and internet without problems [21:33] so you ahve wifi in the vm but not in the host [21:33] <]Spectre[> ianorlin: yes looks like that [21:34] <]Spectre[> lubuntu says to me: wifi is disconnected and it grayed out [21:34] that makes little sense [21:35] broadcom wifi chip?

[21:36] and then so should the os, no? :) [21:37] <]Spectre[> http://pastebin.com/5GUHGiS8 [21:37] no, as the os doesn't read drivers from the vm [21:37] that's not what i meant [21:37] but no need bickering :) [21:37] it's only an idea and it could be something else entirely :) [21:38] well indeed you don't have an ip address [21:38] ]Spectre[: pastebin up the results of lspci -vv [21:39] <]Spectre[> ok [21:40] <]Spectre[> http://pastebin.com/qifmjsR6 [21:42] welllllllll [21:42] ifconfig doesn't enumerate any wlans [21:42] lspci doesn't show a wifi chip [21:42] <]Spectre[> in this moment i'm running inside windows 7 in the virtual machine under lubuntu [21:42] you could install dmidecode and we could see if we can see what the bios thinks [21:43] is it a usb wifi?

[22:49] <]Spectre[> do you have a method to find bugs?

[22:49] <]Spectre[> I agree [22:49] ]Spectre[: we have testcases to follow. pretty simple. there's also the general notion of just trying to use it like normal and seeing if anything pops up.
