[19:19] bentovillage: might want to post a general idea of your specs [19:19] because if its specs-specific or hardware specific you have a new problem. [19:20] this is a Fujitsu Amilo El 6800 with a celeron M 2 Ghz and 1 Gb RAM in two 512 MB modules. [19:20] chipset SIS [19:21] been an eon since i heard Celeron M [19:21] dual core? [19:21] not at all [19:22] it's an old thingy [19:22] so single core 32bit? [19:22] egad [19:22] yes [19:22] as i said, egad [19:22] what is that word? first time seen [19:23] just an exclamation of surprise [19:23] :p [19:23] bentovillage: what's your disk size out of curiosity [19:23] i'm spinning up a VM with near those specs to try and replicate [19:23] it was given for free and will be handed to a woman who does not have means to buy one; [19:24] she has very small needs too. just surf the web and watch a few video movies [19:26] here is the proc specs: http://pastebin.com/RpKYpd94 [19:27] well i'll test but not at the moment - heading out to food [19:27] (took me all this time to get to post it) [19:27] teward, have a nice meal! bon appétit [19:27] I'll be back from my other machine with my usual nick "melodie". [19:27] here I have to shoot the install [19:35] bentovillage: what's your disk size out of curiosity | 40 GB [19:37] I should report one more bug which is in the installer. When the partition isn't marked to be formatted it warns that all directories will be erased, /bin/ /etc and so on. But all has not been erased last time I chose that method (yesterday evening). Instead it merged the Slitaz filesystem and the Ubuntu filesystem, resulting in an un bootable distribution, looking for "Ubuntu with slitaz kernel and modules" [19:38] it's not how I do it usually. usually I prepare the partitions with gparted, but there I wanted to try it this way, to see how it would go. [19:50] hi [20:50] bentovillage: i believe that's just the warning in place for reasons [20:51] i don't ahve a 12.04 image here so i ahve to download before i can test [20:51] melodie: ^ [20:52] melodie: although Lubuntu is a lighter choice [20:53] Bento is even lighter :D [20:54] heh [20:54] http://phillw.net/isos/bento-ubuntu-remix/bento-i686-pae/readme.txt [20:54] but is that an official variant ;) [20:54] it's as good as an official one though because using official sources to build [20:55] official packages I mean [20:55] few exceptions : a ppa for libreoffice, another one for pcmanfm, the basis is the same though [20:56] it is more than two years old now, and tested [20:57] I mean the project started in 2012, summer, and had many new updated versions since with corrections and fine tuning [20:57] it is presented here, btw: http://linuxvillage.org/en/2013/11/bento-ubuntu-remix-rc/ [20:59] bentovillage: i believe that's just the warning in place for reasons | it's not. the zram-config service is supposed to be started during boot time, which makes the live easier to install on old machines. [20:59] if the installed version keeps the zram-config package after install (which lubuntu doesn't) then zram-config should also work once installed : which it does not with this one kernel. [21:00] there has been bug reports last year, with another kernel version, about zram-config not being started. and was solved. it seems it's back with some of the kernel versions. [21:01] I'll seek the LP bug section to find some [21:02] here: [21:02] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zram-config/ [21:02] that's not a bug, it's a collection. /o\ [21:03] overwhelming. :-( [21:12] teward what do you think you could do? Do you deal with the bug reports? [21:24] teward, install is finished here, I'm leaving this one session [21:24] if needed I can be back here for information on the post install behavior, just let me know?
