[00:35] <haixd1999> I'm trying to install lubuntu (latest version) to a laptop via live USB. it seems to be hanging (as in not frozen) on a step. any suggestions? is this normal?
[03:50] <StevenGFX> I get an unable to locate package error when trying install lubuntu-qt-desktop to test. Can anyone help me resolve that?
[03:59] <wxl> StevenGFX: did you not see the warnings?

[04:00] <StevenGFX> im blind! XD

[19:23] <Guest60226> hello?
[19:24] <Guest60226> .
[19:24] <Guest60226> i cant even work the chat

[19:24] <wxl> Guest60226: seems like you just worked it.
[19:25] <Guest60226> can you help me?
[19:25] <wxl> depends on what your problem is
[19:25] <Guest60226> why is your name black now?
[19:26] <Guest60226> K.
[19:26] <wxl> i don't use the client you use, so i'm not sure, but my guess is it's because i didn't hilight your nick
[19:26] <Guest60226> can you help with my linux problems?
[19:26] <wxl> for example, Guest60226, this line probably ends up colored
[19:26] <wxl> depends on what your problem is
[19:27] <wxl> in general, it's probably best to just ask your question
[19:27] <Guest60226> my computer is slow than when itt had windows.
[19:27] <Guest60226> cant figure out what's wrong.
[19:27] <wxl> which computer? which version of what distro and what version of windows? how much ram and hard drive space do you have? what cpu?
[19:31] <Guest60226> some shitty laptop, idk distro it had windows 7 home prem. has 3.6gb  of ram AMD E-450 Apu with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1650.00Mhz and Amd E-450 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1320.00Mhz
[19:31] <wxl> !language
[19:31] <Guest60226> okay, sorry.
[19:32] <wxl> sounds like you have the specs to make it work
[19:32] <Guest60226> it runs soooo slow
[19:32] <wxl> what linux distribution and version are you using?
[19:32] <wxl> and how much hard drive space?
[19:32] <Guest60226> and i cant even play osrs.
[19:32] <Guest60226> at least 250gb open
[19:33] <wxl> you know how to use pastebin?
[19:33] <wxl> better yet, pastebinit?
[19:33] <Guest60226> ik how to press ctrl v and c
[19:33] <Guest60226> or c and v, lol.
[19:34] <wxl> give me the output of `ps aux --sort -rss`
[19:35] <wxl> for that matter, what's your uptimes like?

[19:35] <Guest60226> that isnt all of it
[19:35] <wxl> pastebin
[19:35] <wxl> pastebin
[19:35] <wxl> pastebin
[19:36] <TheSchaf> i think he doesnt know what you meant with pastebin :P
[19:36] <Guest60226> http://pastebin.com/hvX9gf5i
[19:37] <Guest60226> i do
[19:37] <wxl> 12% of your memory is being used by firefox alone
[19:37] <wxl> not to mention 25% of your cpu
[19:37] <Guest60226> can u plz help?
[19:38] <wxl> you're running some python thing too?
[19:38] <Guest60226> no im not?
[19:38] <wxl> cannapi+  3682  1.2  3.6 675780 132004 ?       SNl  15:07   0:20 /usr/bin/python
[19:38] <wxl> that's eating 3.6% of your memory
[19:38] <Guest60226> how do i stop it?
[19:39] <wxl> well it might be good to figure out what it is first
[19:39] <wxl> but you can just do kill 3682
[19:39] <wxl> what does `uptime` output?
[19:39] <wxl> and what about `free -m`?
[19:39] <Guest60226>  up 47 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.28, 0.53, 0.65
[19:39] <wxl> ^^ that right there suggests it's not running very slow
[19:40] <Guest60226>              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available Mem:           3552         569        1942          29        1040        2703 Swap:          3688           0        3688
[19:40] <Guest60226> i get 14-20 fps on osrs
[19:40] <Guest60226> and my sound doesnt work on this pc
[19:40] <wxl> might have nothing to do with "slow"
[19:41] <wxl> might have everything to do with things like what graphics driver you're using and what specifically you're trying to use sound with
[19:41] <Guest60226> sound with my built in laptop speakers
[19:41] <wxl> but with load averages under 1.00 and free memory on the order of 2GB, you have enough resources
[19:41] <wxl> is firefox running slow?
[19:42] <Guest60226> .25 second delay on tabs closing
[19:42] <Guest60226> more of a graphic thing than the actual response time
[19:42] <wxl> soo
[19:42] <wxl> points to a graphics issue
[19:42] <wxl> lspci -nnk
[19:43] <wxl> as for sound, i'd start with running `speaker-test`. if it works, sound works.
[19:43] <wxl> use -t sine if you'd prefer that to pink noise
[19:44] <Guest60226> how do i stop the static
[19:44] <wxl> it'll stop after a while
[19:44] <wxl> you can also do killall speaker-test
[19:44] <Guest60226> it is spamming front left in  terminal
[19:44] <Guest60226> -t sine
[19:44] <Guest60226> oops lol
[19:44] <wxl> so your sound works
[19:45] <Guest60226> still spamming front left
[19:45] <wxl> did you `killall speaker-test`
[19:45] <wxl> ?
[19:45] <Guest60226> no
[19:45] <Guest60226> i want it to chekck the right
[19:46] <Guest60226> the killall didnt work
[19:46] <Guest60226> i had to close terminal
[19:48] <Guest60226> hey'
[19:49] <Guest60226> youtube sound works but it doesnt work on my game
[19:53] <Guest60226> wxl?
[19:54] <wxl> sorry at work
[19:54] <Guest60226> it's fine.
[19:56] <wxl> anyways the defaults for speaker-test kind of sucks
[19:56] <Guest60226> speakers work
[19:56] <wxl> if you do `speaker-test -c2 -l1` it will do front left, then front right, then exit
[19:56] <wxl> ok so now your sound works but it doesn't on this old school rune scape thing?
[19:56] <Guest60226> but game doesnt make sound and runs at 7- 13 fps
[19:57] <wxl> i would contact them about the sound
[19:57] <wxl> obviously your sound DOES work
[19:57] <Guest60226> contact who?
[19:57] <wxl> regarding the graphics, pastebin the output of `lspci --nk`
[19:57] <wxl> whoever develops the game
[19:58] <Guest60226> lol they use fb and twitter
[19:58] <Guest60226> i dont have twitter and i have been messaging them for a week
[19:58] <wxl> yes, but we do not claim to support this game
[19:58] <Guest60226> ik
[19:58] <wxl> i have absolutely zero understanding of it
[19:58] <Guest60226> i know can with work on graphics tho
[19:59] <Guest60226> http://pastebin.com/FpFqzkSE
[19:59] <Guest60226> that is the command output
[20:00] <Guest60226> with the game running
[20:00] <wxl> oops
[20:00] <wxl> lspci -nnk
[20:02] <Guest60226> http://pastebin.com/0PEi25kD
[20:02] <Guest60226> with game running
[20:04] <wxl> again what version of lubuntu are you on?
[20:04] <Guest60226> can u tell me how to check :D
[20:05] <wxl> lsb_release -a
[20:05] <Guest60226> No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release:	16.04 Codename:	xenial
[20:05] <wxl> k
[20:07] <wxl> i don't see the 6320 on the fully supported list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#Fully_supported
[20:08] <Guest60226> how do i fix this?
[20:08] <TheSchaf> buy a new laptop
[20:08] <wxl> hahahah yeah :)
[20:08] <wxl> pastebin up `dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon'
[20:08] <Guest60226> i hate linux
[20:08] <Guest60226> should have kept windows
[20:08] <Guest60226> at least everything worked :/
[20:08] <wxl> i thought it was slow as windows was?
[20:09] <Guest60226> no
[20:09] <Guest60226> way slower
[20:09] <Guest60226> like i got 40 fps +
[20:09] <Guest60226> i just wanted more
[20:09] <Guest60226> now i have 13 max
[20:09] <wxl> well for one, you're throwing your hands up in the air
[20:09] <wxl> rather than continuing to try to figure this out
[20:10] <wxl> but you're also assuming a little too much, i.e. that some old hardware that no one really uses is going to be well supported by a bunch of volunteers
[20:10] <Guest60226> dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon
[20:10] <wxl> for that matter, i doubt windows 10 works very well
[20:10] <wxl> `dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon'
[20:10] <wxl> oops
[20:10] <wxl> nix the `
[20:10] <Guest60226> still nothing
[20:11] <wxl> oh so no errors then
[20:11] <wxl> strange
[20:11] <wxl> then i'd try the proprietary driver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[20:12] <wxl> that's the one actually made by amd
[20:12] <Guest60226> i dont understand any of it
[20:13] <Guest60226> what am i downloading and how do i install it?
[20:13] <wxl> don't try to understand it
[20:13] <wxl> just start at the top
[20:13] <Guest60226> am i just putting in those commands?\
[20:13] <wxl> you're downloading the proprietary (read: commercial) version of the driver
[20:13] <wxl> well no
[20:13] <wxl> you start by reading
[20:13] <Guest60226> lol dude
[20:13] <wxl> start with the list "before you get started"
[20:13] <Guest60226> By default Ubuntu uses the open source Radeon driver for cards manufactured by AMD. However, the proprietary fglrx driver (known as AMD Catalyst or AMD Radeon Software) is made available for those who would like to use it. The instructions on this page advise on how to install and use fglrx.
[20:14] <Guest60226> made no sense
[20:14] <wxl> start with the list "before you get started"
[20:15] <Guest60226> couldnt even complete step 1
[20:16] <Guest60226> lol
[20:16] <wxl> yeah if you can't go to a website, that's certainly a problem
[20:16] <Guest60226> went to it
[20:16] <Guest60226> then it said if u have linux do manual
[20:16] <Guest60226> and i tried manual
[20:16] <wxl> nope
[20:16] <Guest60226> but there is only n/a for the 3rd option and blank for the last
[20:17] <wxl> that's because you need to start with 1
[20:17] <wxl> usually when you do things in order, it's best to start with the first thing and then only move to the next thing after completing the previous thing
[20:17] <wxl> skipping steps usually doesn't help either
[20:19] <Guest60226> i went to the website
[20:19] <Guest60226> it said auto download
[20:19] <Guest60226> or manual
[20:19] <Guest60226> the auto said if u have linux do manual
[20:19] <Guest60226> so i tried manual
[20:19] <Guest60226> what is wrond with step 1?
[20:20] <wxl> how many steps are in the manual section?
[20:20] <Guest60226> 5 including display results
[20:20] <wxl> and what did you put in for 1?
[20:21] <Guest60226> APU
[20:21] <wxl> nope
[20:21] <wxl> desktop graphics
[20:21] <wxl> sorry
[20:21] <wxl> notebook
[20:21] <Guest60226> not integrated?
[20:21] <wxl> nope
[20:22] <Guest60226> what series?
[20:22] <wxl> i mean feel free to cycle through all the options, but the values of each level are dependent on the values of the previous level
[20:22] <wxl> hd series i'd imagine considering it's a HD 6320
[20:23] <wxl> https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/1002/9806
[20:24] <Guest60226> hd 6xxxm series?
[20:24] <wxl> your guess is as good as mien
[20:25] <Guest60226> how about auto detect and install?
[20:26] <wxl> not sure it will work
[20:26] <wxl> you sure can try
[20:28] <Guest60226> 8 different downloads after show results
[21:34] <wxl> whaaat?
