| InkisJLane | Which flavor of Ubuntu is equivalent in terms of resource consumption to Chrome OS? | 01:21 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | InkisJLane: don't know, what's chrome os' resource consumption like? | 01:21 |
| InkisJLane | It's very light. | 01:22 |
| wxl | lubuntu then | 01:22 |
| InkisJLane | See the reviews of the Celeron Chromeboxes which claim it runs circles surfing the web around much higher powered Windows boxes. | 01:22 |
| InkisJLane | wxl: How about Xubuntu? | 01:22 |
| wxl | not as light | 01:23 |

| iamachild | hello there, do you guys have any ideas for speeding up 15.10 running from usb? | 14:40 |
| iamachild | x86 | 14:40 |
| bioterror | yeah, USB 3.0 | 14:45 |
| iamachild | ah that is probably some real legit advice | 14:47 |
| iamachild | ty | 14:47 |
| iamachild | yeah i bought like a cheap usb stick from the dollar stroe | 14:48 |
| iamachild | store* | 14:48 |
| iamachild | for like $10USD | 14:48 |
| iamachild | is there a good lightweight alternative to firefox or chromium for linux? | 19:43 |
| iamachild | like maybe iceweasel or even something better | 19:44 |
| leszek | iamachild: iceweasel is a rebranded firefox. So it uses the same amount of memory and cpu if you mean that by lightweight | 19:45 |
| bioterror | Midori is quite lightweight and has adblock nowdays | 19:45 |
| iamachild | gotta try it out | 19:46 |
| iamachild | ty | 19:46 |
| iamachild | somebody recommended netscape | 19:46 |
| leszek | iamachild: there is also uzbl which uses a vim like controls and webkit | 19:47 |
| iamachild | will look into that as well ty very much | 19:47 |
| iamachild | i heard there is a browser that is completely terminal based | 19:47 |
| wxl | as a vim user i thought i'd like uzbl a lot but i really didn't | 19:47 |
| wxl | iamachild: w3m | 19:47 |
| bioterror | w3m, links, elinks, lynx | 19:47 |
| wxl | though you have to get a little hacky with it to deal with images in all terminals | 19:47 |
| wxl | w3m is the only one that i know of that supports images | 19:47 |
| bioterror | xombrero is quite good for a minimalist | 19:48 |
| iamachild | oh man | 19:48 |
| iamachild | gotta get that | 19:48 |
| iamachild | 4 real | 19:48 |
| leszek | what about xxxterm ? | 19:48 |
| bioterror | Unit193 has a ppa for xombrero | 19:48 |
| iamachild | this computer i'm on is such shite eh? | 19:48 |
| bioterror | leszek, it's the old name for xombrero | 19:48 |
| leszek | ah xombrero its called nowadays right | 19:48 |
| bioterror | it's less xxx | 19:48 |
| bioterror | it's nice, but from urxvt you cant launch urls without a wrapper script | 19:49 |
| iamachild | God bless GNU | 19:49 |
| leszek | oh. Yeah never used it on rxvtr | 19:49 |
| leszek | -r | 19:49 |
| wxl | which you talking about bioterror ? | 19:50 |
| wxl | i assume you mean w3m | 19:50 |
| wxl | ? | 19:50 |
| iamachild | what is vim? | 19:51 |
| wxl | dude. | 19:51 |
| bioterror | iamachild, vi improved | 19:51 |
| wxl | you need vim | 19:52 |
| wxl | terminal users need two things: vim and tmux. | 19:52 |
| wxl | well hardcore users | 19:52 |
| bioterror | screen and emacs | 19:52 |
| wxl | heheheh | 19:52 |
| wxl | bioterror: troll :) | 19:52 |
| leszek | yeah I also use screen most often. Mainly because its installed on all the servers by default in contrast to tmux | 19:53 |
| leszek | but vi or vim (or vim-tiny) | 19:53 |
| bioterror | wxl, xombrero quires that wrapper | 19:54 |
| iamachild | are any of these browsers faster than firefox? | 19:54 |
| wxl | i can understand that but (A) tmux has functionality screen doesn't and (B) i don't need a serial console | 19:54 |
| iamachild | i've heard firefox is the fastest browser around | 19:54 |
| bioterror | anything is faster than firefox | 19:54 |
| bioterror | it's the slowest browser on earth :D | 19:54 |
| iamachild | ah, perhaps it was only for windows and mac users then | 19:54 |
| iamachild | midori is pretty nice | 20:01 |
| leszek | nope firefox isn't the slowest but its also not the fastest :P | 20:02 |
| leszek | webkit based browsers are pretty fast. Though they don't support all websites 100% | 20:02 |
| leszek | so if you need netflix or amazon instant video you need either chromium with drm stuff compiled in and the drm plugins, or chrome (which has those built in but by default also spies on the user) | 20:03 |
| iamachild | midori is OP | 20:03 |
| bioterror | all the browsers spies | 20:03 |
| iamachild | i just assume all of my internet activity and my whole life exists under surveillance somewhere on the deep web | 20:05 |
| iamachild | the entirety of my lubuntu core is rather laggy | 20:08 |
| iamachild | i suspect it is because i'm running it with no HD off of a cheap $10 usb drive from the dollar store | 20:08 |
| leszek | iamachild: yeah this will slow down things | 20:13 |
| leszek | bioterror: konqueror does not spy :P | 20:13 |

| SebastianTCL | WHAT THE heck is this crap!? i come here and it's no help, just a bunch of nerds helping nerds if their request is nerd enough no do this, just google this nonsense jargon that you are supposed to know rather than an answer, every time since i got lxce this crap logs itself out after 5 minutes | 22:01 |
| SebastianTCL | when i try to open the power management system it doesnt come up, in gui | 22:02 |
| SebastianTCL | what is the cli command so that it never logs itself out | 22:02 |
| SebastianTCL | persistently past reboot too | 22:02 |
| wxl | SebastianTCL: that doesn't exactly seem like a methodology that is likely to recieve any sort of useful response | 22:03 |
| SebastianTCL | If I click on power manager I get a freaking pop up that reads "unable to connect to xfce power manager" | 22:03 |
| SebastianTCL | wxl please dont spam, my topic is lubuntu logs me out after 5 minutes and i dont want this to happen | 22:04 |
| SebastianTCL | Speaking of good luck: the pop up ironically reads: "did not receive a reply" | 22:04 |
| SebastianTCL | Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply | 22:05 |
| wxl | SebastianTCL: i mean insulting people is not a good way to get help | 22:05 |
| SebastianTCL | the message bus security policy blocked the reply | 22:05 |
| SebastianTCL | the rely timeout expired | 22:05 |
| SebastianTCL | or the network connection was broken | 22:05 |
| wxl | SebastianTCL: especially when it comes to asking for help out of volunteers | 22:06 |
| wxl | SebastianTCL: who likely have more important things to do with their time | 22:06 |
| SebastianTCL | relevant past experience is not an insult, the topic is lubuntu logs me out | 22:06 |
| wxl | SebastianTCL: ok, well, good luck then | 22:06 |
| SebastianTCL | this doesnt help when i am downloading or uploading stuff and away from my computer because i too have more important things to do | 22:07 |
