| tsimonq2 | merlin___: can you be more specific please? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| merlin___ | i've disconnected. did someone reply to my msgs? | 00:07 |
| lynorian | merlin___, well I would go 16.04 as it is supported the longest LTS release and we currently do not have a shorter release out right now but we also have 14.04 is the old LTS but not as up to date | 00:12 |
| merlin___ | but will 64 bit version be more exacting to machine resources? | 00:15 |
| lynorian | merlin___, it will use a little more ram | 00:16 |
| lynorian | merlin___, do you have a 64 bit cpu? | 00:17 |
| merlin___ | yep, i have 64 bit ubuntu 16.04 on that laptop at the time but it's a bit laggy | 00:17 |
| merlin___ | that system has t7500 intel core 2 duo which is around 2.2 ghz and 2 gb of ddr 2. what your opinion on which architecture should i use? | 00:18 |
| lynorian | merlin___, I would view ram use when you use it and see if you are running out | 00:28 |
| lynorian | and see how much swap is being used | 00:28 |
| merlin___ | okay, thanks! | 00:28 |
| lynorian | if you install the htop package and run it in terminal it can tell you that | 00:28 |
| lynorian | I have a t6500 laptop myself but with 4 gigs of ram and I run 64 bit on that and also test 32 bit | 00:29 |
| lynorian | also could be the hard drive is slow | 00:29 |
| dude | lynorian: cmd to install? (sorry, im a total noob) | 00:29 |
| lynorian | sudo apt install htop | 00:29 |
| lynorian | then enter your password | 00:30 |
| dude | than you :) | 00:30 |
| merlin___ | hmm swap of same size as ram is enough? | 00:30 |
| lynorian | merlin___, usually | 00:30 |
| merlin___ | thanks for help | 00:30 |
| dude | So, if i understand it correctly - if i have swap half of capacity - i should be able to run a heavier ver of linux than Lubuntu without issue? | 00:36 |
| dude | And; sould i be using a different distro, og is it same same - only pref on GUI? | 00:37 |
| lynorian | dude you can but I like the ui and lighter version means you can use more of your ram to say cache io files which can be the absolute slowest things if you have a spinning hard drive | 00:39 |
| dude | lynorian: I totally get your drift. I landed on Lubuntu cause of the clean GUI and stable design philosophy. But am i missing out on something later on? ofc. i can allways change later. Just curious. | 00:42 |
| lynorian | dude yes you usually can install other GUIs side by side but sometimes you get problems and cluttered menus | 00:44 |
| lynorian | and you can pull in heavy packages | 00:44 |
| wxl | dude, dude is such a cool nick. | 00:44 |
| dude | lynorian: I see. Well, i'm a minimalist, so the pack's shouldn't be a problem. | 00:46 |
| dude | wxl: thank you :) nor uncommon tho :/ | 00:47 |
| wxl | dude: no, dude. | 00:49 |
| merlin___ | guys, where can i find checksums for distros? zsync files? | 00:53 |
| dude | hehe, dude...relly? :D | 00:53 |
| dude | aimed @ wxl | 00:53 |
| tsimonq2 | merlin___: zsync files verify the checksum of the ISO on their own | 00:53 |
| tsimonq2 | merlin___: we recommend using zsync | 00:53 |
| dude | Good night, boys :) | 01:00 |
| merlin___ | thanks | 01:08 |
| Tim_ | Is this the help chat? | 01:12 |

| tsimonq2 | Tim_: what's your problem? | 01:15 |
| Tim_ | I have flash instaled from the pakage maneger, but flash players are not woking. I instaled the extra pakages also from the command line. I ame using chrome web browser. | 01:18 |
| tsimonq2 | Tim_: have you installed lubuntu-restricted-extras? | 01:20 |
| Tim_ | Yes I did it from the command line. | 01:20 |
| tsimonq2 | what isn't working? | 01:20 |

| tsimonq2 | what browser is used there? | 01:24 |
| Tim_ | Google Chrome and Firefox. My Lubuntu is using just the opensource Chrome from the package maneger. | 01:27 |
| tsimonq2 | that's the problem, Tim_ | 01:29 |
| tsimonq2 | Tim_: Chromium doesn't have the needed flash files | 01:29 |
| Tim_ | Ok. I have also cnt qute figure out how to get the universal pakages in the packet maneger to work. A widow pops up saying it cant intall the CD. | 01:31 |
| Tim_ | Isnt that how I can install Google Chrome? | 01:32 |
| tsimonq2 | here: https://www.google.com/chrome/ | 01:32 |
| tsimonq2 | download and install the .deb file | 01:33 |
| Tim_ | Ok thank you very much for your time and help. | 01:35 |
| merlin___ | Guys, is there a way in lubuntu to access installed applications from start menu without configuring anything? i mean in unity i just entered first few letters of application name and done | 02:47 |
| tsimonq2 | merlin___: try Alt + F2 | 03:08 |
| merlin___ | thanks! | 03:28 |
| aiena1 | Hey I am having trouble getting cron to run a job | 06:26 |
| aiena1 | I did a small test | 06:26 |
| aiena1 | 1 * * * * echo "Oye cron ran me" > /home/<user>/cron-ran.txt | 06:27 |
| aiena1 | I put the above line followed by a new line | 06:27 |
| aiena1 | no file is created in the home dir after 1 minute | 06:27 |
| aiena1 | I dont know why my cron isnt running | 06:31 |
| aiena1 | there is a new line at the end too | 06:32 |
| aiena1 | Hmm ok cron is working | 07:01 |
| LuMint | aiena1: nie | 07:08 |
| LuMint | *nice | 07:08 |
| aiena1 | LuMint: It was a config error | 07:08 |
| aiena1 | I realised that for every you need to do */1 no 1 | 07:09 |
| aiena1 | for whichever cron unit | 07:09 |
| aiena1 | in the tab | 07:09 |
| aiena1 | silly me :P | 07:09 |
| aiena1 | I wonder if there is a way to make cron start a service on boot | 07:10 |
| aiena1 | and then rerun it to ensure it is running every sort of 5 minutes or so | 07:11 |
| aiena1 | thanks anyway | 07:17 |
