[00:00] jesus my grammar sucks that late at night^^ [00:00] but older games or games with simpler graphics or if you can lower graphic options... thinking tf2 should run fine for example [00:01] jea tf2 should run rather nicely [00:01] my next project is getting steam (and my windows games) running with wine [00:02] interestingly the website https://packages.ubuntu.com you linked a while ago is terribly slow [00:02] at least for me [00:02] for win only games you need to install steam for windows etc [00:02] its more complicated [00:03] jea i looked it up before [00:03] im just reducing the windows in our household :D [00:03] yes i can't open it atm, must be some problem [00:03] for each game you go to appdb wine page and check if its working or not [00:04] sometimes they work with some tweaks [00:04] or try playonlinux [00:04] which is a frontend of the same [00:04] the only windows i cant get rid of is the one for updating the damn satnav [00:04] yes, i tried it once for testing with world of tanks [00:04] there are ways too, with virtual machine and direct port access [00:05] install regular windows in virtual machine, give access to usb port, etc. [00:05] then you use it only for that purpose [00:06] there is vbox, vmware, qemu.. plenty of choices :) [00:06] indeed, however most of our hardware is rather old and is lacking most virtualization support like vtx vtd and so on [00:07] thats not really important for such usage [00:08] are you sure? [00:09] yes i play a lot with qemu :) [00:09] but most people find vbox easier to use [00:09] i tried it once with a usb stick for testing purposes and it didnt work out to well [00:09] if you don't use it very often i guess you could still dual boot [00:09] thats my current solution [00:09] however [00:10] it sucks security wise [00:10] indeed [00:10] since windows has read/write access [00:11] well not to my linux partitions (no ext-drivers ftw) but unfortunately the bootloader remains accessible [00:14] well then thanks a lot artemis3, mrkramps and all the ones i might have forgotten :) [00:14] yw [00:14] you're welcome [00:15] i think im gonna reinstall tomorrow or rather this morning :D to check those updates again [00:15] im hooked now :D [00:16] it was just so strange, that the software updater didnt show them [00:16] lets see whether this can be reproduced :D [00:17] have a nice day or good night (whatever timezone you are in) === bazhang__ is now known as bazhang [09:18] Hi [09:20] I would like download Xubuntu 15.04 [09:20] anyboby can help me? [09:25] xubuntu99d: 15.04 is end of life and unsupported [09:28] really? [09:29] I had read That 15.04 was five years of support [09:30] xubuntu99d: we support LTS for 3 years, currently 14.04 and 16.04, other releases - get 9 months [09:30] do you mean 16.04 - the newest one? [09:31] 16.04 have some bug for me, something don't work correctly [09:32] I had distro upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 [09:32] but I have some prolems now [09:32] I want to back to 14.04 :) [09:34] http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/trusty/release/ [09:35] Thank you so much [09:35] welcome === iSlayDragons is now known as iSlayWyverns [13:05] hello, i tried to replicate something i stumbled over yesterday and i was sucessfull [13:05] 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 === user is now known as akis [14:11] 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? [15:24] 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 [15:26] Nvm. Used Compiz [15:26] Compiz FTW!!! [15:27] does anyone know what's the status for a fix on the disappearing mouse cursor after suspend/lock on 16.04? [15:28] 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] also it takes like 10 seconds to suspend (again probl i915) vs 1 sec or less on 15.10 [15:29] oh sna vs xna makes no difference on any symptom [16:16] anyone there? :) [17:58] Just did a fresh install if 16 lts, any quirks I should know of? [17:59] eegore: Yes, please read the release notes. [18:00] I notice the stock install tends to leave out a lot of the deps for third party software [18:01] Well, dependencies are just that. [18:02] one of the reasons I option for th xfce interfade rather than the kde is it is easier on the battery [18:08] I see multip desktops is not there [18:10] Not enabled by default, no. [18:11] trying to find it [18:12] Just add the Workspace Switcher to your panel, and go from there. [18:12] also setting it so the touchpad is ignored when a mouse is used [18:17] I do not see that option [18:18] For the latter one? Yeah, doesn't seem to be an option by default. [18:19] There a various hits on a web search though. [18:20] I am trying to do it without a script that would cause an instability of intalling the KDE version [18:22] Well, generally the deeper it anchors, the more it is likely to be common. [18:23] doing it with a bash script and python sounds a little dicey [18:24] Removable Drives>Input Devices>Mice>Command = synclient TouchPadOff=1 woks for me. [18:25] s/woks/works [18:32] where is that located [18:35] eegore: That's a GUI path. [19:47] Hello [19:47] somebody can help me install usb wifi on xubuntu [19:48] Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

[22:50] jo [22:50] I'm currently using Ubuntu and considering switching to Xubuntu, because I like the xcfe de better. Are there any major differences between Ubuntu & Xubuntu? (Besides the de & the default apps) [22:53] its the same underall [22:53] underall? [22:53] it is the same under the DE etc [22:54] clear?
