| bob123456 | jesus my grammar sucks that late at night^^ | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Artemis3 | but older games or games with simpler graphics or if you can lower graphic options... thinking tf2 should run fine for example | 00:00 |
| bob123456 | jea tf2 should run rather nicely | 00:01 |
| bob123456 | my next project is getting steam (and my windows games) running with wine | 00:01 |
| bob123456 | interestingly the website https://packages.ubuntu.com you linked a while ago is terribly slow | 00:02 |
| bob123456 | at least for me | 00:02 |
| Artemis3 | for win only games you need to install steam for windows etc | 00:02 |
| Artemis3 | its more complicated | 00:02 |
| bob123456 | jea i looked it up before | 00:03 |
| bob123456 | im just reducing the windows in our household :D | 00:03 |
| Artemis3 | yes i can't open it atm, must be some problem | 00:03 |
| Artemis3 | for each game you go to appdb wine page and check if its working or not | 00:03 |
| Artemis3 | sometimes they work with some tweaks | 00:04 |
| Artemis3 | or try playonlinux | 00:04 |
| Artemis3 | which is a frontend of the same | 00:04 |
| bob123456 | the only windows i cant get rid of is the one for updating the damn satnav | 00:04 |
| bob123456 | yes, i tried it once for testing with world of tanks | 00:04 |
| Artemis3 | there are ways too, with virtual machine and direct port access | 00:04 |
| Artemis3 | install regular windows in virtual machine, give access to usb port, etc. | 00:05 |
| Artemis3 | then you use it only for that purpose | 00:05 |
| Artemis3 | there is vbox, vmware, qemu.. plenty of choices :) | 00:06 |
| bob123456 | indeed, however most of our hardware is rather old and is lacking most virtualization support like vtx vtd and so on | 00:06 |
| Artemis3 | thats not really important for such usage | 00:07 |
| bob123456 | are you sure? | 00:08 |
| Artemis3 | yes i play a lot with qemu :) | 00:09 |
| Artemis3 | but most people find vbox easier to use | 00:09 |
| bob123456 | i tried it once with a usb stick for testing purposes and it didnt work out to well | 00:09 |
| Artemis3 | if you don't use it very often i guess you could still dual boot | 00:09 |
| bob123456 | thats my current solution | 00:09 |
| bob123456 | however | 00:09 |
| bob123456 | it sucks security wise | 00:10 |
| Artemis3 | indeed | 00:10 |
| bob123456 | since windows has read/write access | 00:10 |
| bob123456 | well not to my linux partitions (no ext-drivers ftw) but unfortunately the bootloader remains accessible | 00:11 |
| bob123456 | well then thanks a lot artemis3, mrkramps and all the ones i might have forgotten :) | 00:14 |
| Artemis3 | yw | 00:14 |
| mrkramps | you're welcome | 00:14 |
| bob123456 | i think im gonna reinstall tomorrow or rather this morning :D to check those updates again | 00:15 |
| bob123456 | im hooked now :D | 00:15 |
| bob123456 | it was just so strange, that the software updater didnt show them | 00:16 |
| bob123456 | lets see whether this can be reproduced :D | 00:16 |
| bob123456 | have a nice day or good night (whatever timezone you are in) | 00:17 |

| flocculant | xubuntu99d: 15.04 is end of life and unsupported | 09:25 |
| xubuntu99d | really? | 09:28 |
| xubuntu99d | I had read That 15.04 was five years of support | 09:29 |
| flocculant | xubuntu99d: we support LTS for 3 years, currently 14.04 and 16.04, other releases - get 9 months | 09:30 |
| flocculant | do you mean 16.04 - the newest one? | 09:30 |
| xubuntu99d | 16.04 have some bug for me, something don't work correctly | 09:31 |
| xubuntu99d | I had distro upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 | 09:32 |

| bob123456_ | hello, i tried to replicate something i stumbled over yesterday and i was sucessfull | 13:05 |
| bob123456_ | the thing i stumbled across is the fact, that the softwarecenter and synaptic are offering package updates, that are not available by using the software updater app that comes prepacked in xubuntu | 13:05 |

| akis | hi all. i am running 14.04. my kernel is http://paste.ubuntu.com/16438715/ . I choosed kernel not to be updated, because i have a RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) and i faced some issues with newer kernels. Today I tried 16.04 live cd and i saw that the new kernel is very stable for this adapter. Is there any way to upgrade to this kernel using 14.04? | 14:11 |
| carrotcorn | Hi there! I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 with the Xfce desktop environment installed. Unlike with unity, I do not understand how workspaces (virtual desktops?) work in Xfce... How do I create new workspaces? I tried the workspaces option within the settings manager which didn't help at all. Upon increasing the number of workspaces under 'layout', nothing happens | 15:24 |
| carrotcorn | Nvm. Used Compiz | 15:26 |
| carrotcorn | Compiz FTW!!! | 15:26 |
| cm2 | does anyone know what's the status for a fix on the disappearing mouse cursor after suspend/lock on 16.04? | 15:27 |
| cm2 | i ask because i am experiencing a lot of graphical glitches on intel graphics ... gpu hangs, things dont render anymore etc. suspect i915. | 15:28 |
| cm2 | also it takes like 10 seconds to suspend (again probl i915) vs 1 sec or less on 15.10 | 15:28 |
| cm2 | oh sna vs xna makes no difference on any symptom | 15:29 |
| bob123456_ | anyone there? :) | 16:16 |
| eegore | Just did a fresh install if 16 lts, any quirks I should know of? | 17:58 |
| krytarik | eegore: Yes, please read the release notes. | 17:59 |
| eegore | I notice the stock install tends to leave out a lot of the deps for third party software | 18:00 |
| krytarik | Well, dependencies are just that. | 18:01 |
| eegore | one of the reasons I option for th xfce interfade rather than the kde is it is easier on the battery | 18:02 |
| eegore | I see multip desktops is not there | 18:08 |
| krytarik | Not enabled by default, no. | 18:10 |
| eegore | trying to find it | 18:11 |
| krytarik | Just add the Workspace Switcher to your panel, and go from there. | 18:12 |
| eegore | also setting it so the touchpad is ignored when a mouse is used | 18:12 |
| eegore | I do not see that option | 18:17 |
| krytarik | For the latter one? Yeah, doesn't seem to be an option by default. | 18:18 |
| krytarik | There a various hits on a web search though. | 18:19 |
| eegore | I am trying to do it without a script that would cause an instability of intalling the KDE version | 18:20 |
| krytarik | Well, generally the deeper it anchors, the more it is likely to be common. | 18:22 |
| eegore | doing it with a bash script and python sounds a little dicey | 18:23 |
| drc | Removable Drives>Input Devices>Mice>Command = synclient TouchPadOff=1 woks for me. | 18:24 |
| drc | s/woks/works | 18:25 |
| eegore | where is that located | 18:32 |
| krytarik | eegore: That's a GUI path. | 18:35 |

| Windowpainz | but hey i am up and running linux and loving it | 23:35 |
| Windowpainz | old laptop had xp | 23:36 |
| Windowpainz | no vista | 23:36 |
| Majora320 | what exactly should I do after 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'? uninstall some gnome/unity default apps? | 23:36 |
| bazhang | Majora320, select xubuntu in the login | 23:36 |
| Majora320 | ah | 23:36 |
| Majora320 | so it gives you a choice | 23:37 |
| Majora320 | cool! | 23:37 |
| bazhang | Windowpainz, no need to mention voyager, fresh install 16.04 | 23:37 |
| Majora320 | I install xubuntu-desktop & rebooted, but my desktop just looks like unity w/ different colors | 23:52 |
| Majora320 | and icons | 23:52 |
| Majora320 | when I go to window manager settings in xfce settings manager, log output says 'These settings cannot work with your current window manager (Compiz)' | 23:53 |
| Majora320 | oh nvm | 23:59 |
| Majora320 | relogged and saw u do it in login screen | 23:59 |
