| int-main | Which app provides PDF viewing in Xubuntu? | 09:33 |
| lytton | I guess that evince is on as defult pdf viewer | 09:41 |
| nindustries | man, can't wait to switch over to xubuntu from regular ubuntu | 09:42 |
| nindustries | unity+compiz is a cpu hogg | 09:42 |
| bazhang | nindustries, just sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop | 09:52 |
| akxwi-dave | then select the xubuntu desktop at login... :-) | 10:00 |
| xubuntu05w | Hello! A happy Xubuntu user here from Greece! I need a quick advice on chat plugins that Firefox tells me I am missing. Tried to connect to ePSXe help chat to report sth and Firefox says I am missing sth. | 10:52 |
| nindustries | bazhang: yeah, I would like a reinstall | 10:58 |
| xubuntu90d | help/help | 13:36 |
| xubuntu90d | strange... | 13:36 |
| xubuntu90d | hello? | 13:36 |
| xubuntu90d | Oh well, if someone has a real name (not like me) he should be knowing, right? | 13:39 |
| xubuntu90d | Hi | 13:40 |
| xubuntu90d | hi? | 13:42 |
| knome | umm, | 13:42 |
| knome | try asking the question first? | 13:42 |
| knome | and it's not strange that in a channel of volunteers nobody replies in the first minute... | 13:42 |
| xubuntu90d | i read about that | 13:43 |
| tnc | hi guys | 13:43 |
| xubuntu90d | ok, so well i am (obv) new to xubuntu, used windows ... so i installed and it is runnig quite slow now. even firefox freeses sometimes | 13:43 |
| knome | xubuntu90d, and what are your hardware specifications, and which xubuntu version are you using? | 13:44 |
| xubuntu90d | amd turion64 (10 year old laptop) and i downloaded the latest LTS version | 13:44 |
| knome | xubuntu90d, hom much ram? | 13:45 |
| tnc | mee to.. I started use xubuntu last month | 13:45 |
| tnc | sorry, me too | 13:45 |
| xubuntu90d | donßt know, how can i check? | 13:45 |
| knome | xubuntu90d, type "free -h" without the quotes in a terminal and press enter | 13:47 |
| knome | xubuntu90d, then look at the row "Mem:" and column "total" | 13:47 |
| tnc | you must look at total | 13:47 |
| knome | tnc, if you read my message, you'd know i told them that... | 13:48 |
| xubuntu90d | it says 1,8G | 13:48 |
| knome | ok, that should be enough for normal use... | 13:49 |
| knome | so when does your firefox freeze? | 13:49 |
| knome | when watching videos? | 13:49 |
| xubuntu90d | this is why i tried to install it | 13:49 |
| knome | doing something with flash? | 13:49 |
| xubuntu90d | using flahs | 13:49 |
| xubuntu90d | *flash | 13:49 |
| knome | i mean, please realize that if your laptop is 10 years old, you are practically running an OS 10 years from the future... | 13:49 |
| Pici | knome: thats a good comparison | 13:50 |
| knome | flash is resource-intensive | 13:50 |
| knome | you might have enough RAM, but the CPU might not be able to cope with it | 13:50 |
| xubuntu90d | this is why i wanted to slim it down from XP to xubuntu | 13:51 |
| xubuntu90d | (and because of no more support) | 13:52 |
| xubuntu90d | so is there anything to change about it?+ | 13:52 |
| knome | don't use flash :P | 13:58 |
| xubuntu90d | will be quite difficult in the www | 13:59 |
| knome | well, then i guess you're looking at a hardware purchase... | 13:59 |
| knome | i mean, you should be able to do the most basic things with that hardware | 13:59 |
| xubuntu90d | meh, this is what i wanted to circumvent | 13:59 |
| knome | but flash can make even some of the newer hardware slow | 13:59 |
| xubuntu90d | so slimming down the system wouldn t make a difference? | 14:00 |
| xubuntu90d | like unistalling stuff or something | 14:01 |
| knome | if flash takes most of the CPU performance, not really | 14:01 |
| knome | for comparison, do websites without flash work well? | 14:01 |
| xubuntu90d | ok-ish | 14:02 |
| knome | then i don't think any modern operating system is able to help you much | 14:02 |
| knome | there are even faster alternatives than xubuntu, but they are pretty much also less user-friendly, and you might get the non-flash websites and other tasks that work "ok-ish" work better, but i still don't believe flash stuff is going to be miraculously better | 14:03 |
| xubuntu90d | and any alternatives for flash itself, but getting the content from it arent there i guess? | 14:04 |
| knome | there are some free alternatives, but i don't think they are very actively developed, and they aren't very good | 14:05 |
| knome | flash itself is slowly phasing out, so i don't think there's a good reason to keep up the development either | 14:05 |
| knome | you can plead your favorite flash-website managers to stop using flash | 14:06 |
| xubuntu90d | how? | 14:06 |
| knome | contact them? | 14:07 |
| xubuntu90d | ... | 14:07 |
| xubuntu90d | totally into thinking the linux-wonders could tecnically solve this. | 14:07 |
| knome | i'm sorry if it comes to you as a surprise, but xubuntu isn't a miracle machine that fixes slow hardware or brings world peace :) | 14:08 |
| knome | well again, if websites use a proprietary technology that takes a lot of resources, how could "linux-wonders" fix that? | 14:08 |
| xubuntu90d | nono, i did not think this, but to get this old machine into running and working. I dont want to play games or such. just using the web, listen tomusic etcc. | 14:09 |
| knome | you can totally do that, just not flash | 14:09 |
| knome | well that's wrong, you can do flash too, but it might not be super fast | 14:09 |
| knome | (and even with linux, slow hardware is slow hardware) | 14:10 |
| xubuntu90d | ok then, ett stort tack | 14:12 |
| knome | varsågod ;) | 14:13 |

| chuckmcm | Greetings everyone, is there some way (other than recompiling the source) to change the *default* setup of two screens? | 23:55 |
| chuckmcm | I ask because when ever my screens are blanked, and then I wake them up, the setup reverts to "Mirrored" which is not what they were last set to | 23:56 |
| chuckmcm | I know the system "remembers" somehow what they were set to as the login from the session selector sets them correctly. | 23:56 |
| chuckmcm | Since they are both display port screens, I would not be surprised if this was yet another side effect of xfsettingsd not "understanding" such screens | 23:57 |
| chuckmcm | but if someone has a quick way to say "when in doubt, set the screens this way ..." I would love to hear it, then I could use that to paste over the symptom | 23:57 |
