=== alexandr1 is now known as alexandros_c [04:14] hi [09:33] Which app provides PDF viewing in Xubuntu? [09:41] I guess that evince is on as defult pdf viewer [09:42] man, can't wait to switch over to xubuntu from regular ubuntu [09:42] unity+compiz is a cpu hogg [09:52] nindustries, just sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop [10:00] then select the xubuntu desktop at login... :-) [10:52] 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. [10:58] bazhang: yeah, I would like a reinstall [13:36] help/help [13:36] strange... [13:36] hello? [13:39] Oh well, if someone has a real name (not like me) he should be knowing, right? [13:40] Hi [13:42] hi? [13:42] umm, [13:42] try asking the question first? [13:42] and it's not strange that in a channel of volunteers nobody replies in the first minute... [13:43] i read about that [13:43] hi guys [13:43] 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 [13:44] xubuntu90d, and what are your hardware specifications, and which xubuntu version are you using? [13:44] amd turion64 (10 year old laptop) and i downloaded the latest LTS version [13:45] xubuntu90d, hom much ram? [13:45] mee to.. I started use xubuntu last month [13:45] sorry, me too [13:45] donßt know, how can i check? [13:47] xubuntu90d, type "free -h" without the quotes in a terminal and press enter [13:47] xubuntu90d, then look at the row "Mem:" and column "total" [13:47] you must look at total [13:48] tnc, if you read my message, you'd know i told them that... [13:48] it says 1,8G [13:49] ok, that should be enough for normal use... [13:49] so when does your firefox freeze? [13:49] when watching videos? [13:49] this is why i tried to install it [13:49] doing something with flash? [13:49] using flahs [13:49] *flash [13:49] i mean, please realize that if your laptop is 10 years old, you are practically running an OS 10 years from the future... [13:50] knome: thats a good comparison [13:50] flash is resource-intensive [13:50] you might have enough RAM, but the CPU might not be able to cope with it [13:51] this is why i wanted to slim it down from XP to xubuntu [13:52] (and because of no more support) [13:52] so is there anything to change about it?+ [13:58] don't use flash :P [13:59] will be quite difficult in the www [13:59] well, then i guess you're looking at a hardware purchase... [13:59] i mean, you should be able to do the most basic things with that hardware [13:59] meh, this is what i wanted to circumvent [13:59] but flash can make even some of the newer hardware slow [14:00] so slimming down the system wouldn t make a difference? [14:01] like unistalling stuff or something [14:01] if flash takes most of the CPU performance, not really [14:01] for comparison, do websites without flash work well? [14:02] ok-ish [14:02] then i don't think any modern operating system is able to help you much [14:03] 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 [14:04] and any alternatives for flash itself, but getting the content from it arent there i guess? [14:05] there are some free alternatives, but i don't think they are very actively developed, and they aren't very good [14:05] flash itself is slowly phasing out, so i don't think there's a good reason to keep up the development either [14:06] you can plead your favorite flash-website managers to stop using flash [14:06] how? [14:07] contact them? [14:07] ... [14:07] totally into thinking the linux-wonders could tecnically solve this. [14:08] 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] well again, if websites use a proprietary technology that takes a lot of resources, how could "linux-wonders" fix that? [14:09] 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] you can totally do that, just not flash [14:09] well that's wrong, you can do flash too, but it might not be super fast [14:10] (and even with linux, slow hardware is slow hardware) [14:12] ok then, ett stort tack [14:13] varsågod ;) [15:17] hi [19:13] ciao === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [20:15] hi, is there a way to make ubuntu scale upto 4K reolution? [20:16] *xubuntu [20:16] do you just want to scale the interface? [20:16] oh.. === alexandr1 is now known as alexandros_c [23:55] Greetings everyone, is there some way (other than recompiling the source) to change the *default* setup of two screens? [23:56] 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] I know the system "remembers" somehow what they were set to as the login from the session selector sets them correctly. [23:57] 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] 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
