[00:00] merlin___: can you be more specific please? [00:07] i've disconnected. did someone reply to my msgs? [00:12] 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 [00:15] but will 64 bit version be more exacting to machine resources? [00:16] merlin___, it will use a little more ram [00:17] merlin___, do you have a 64 bit cpu? [00:17] yep, i have 64 bit ubuntu 16.04 on that laptop at the time but it's a bit laggy [00:18] 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? [00:28] merlin___, I would view ram use when you use it and see if you are running out [00:28] and see how much swap is being used [00:28] okay, thanks! [00:28] if you install the htop package and run it in terminal it can tell you that [00:29] 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] also could be the hard drive is slow [00:29] lynorian: cmd to install? (sorry, im a total noob) [00:29] sudo apt install htop [00:30] then enter your password [00:30] than you :) [00:30] hmm swap of same size as ram is enough? [00:30] merlin___, usually [00:30] thanks for help [00:36] 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? [00:37] And; sould i be using a different distro, og is it same same - only pref on GUI? [00:39] 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 [00:42] 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. [00:44] dude yes you usually can install other GUIs side by side but sometimes you get problems and cluttered menus [00:44] and you can pull in heavy packages [00:44] dude, dude is such a cool nick. [00:46] lynorian: I see. Well, i'm a minimalist, so the pack's shouldn't be a problem. [00:47] wxl: thank you :) nor uncommon tho :/ [00:49] dude: no, dude. [00:53] guys, where can i find checksums for distros? zsync files? [00:53] hehe, dude...relly? :D [00:53] aimed @ wxl [00:53] merlin___: zsync files verify the checksum of the ISO on their own [00:53] merlin___: we recommend using zsync [01:00] Good night, boys :) [01:08] thanks [01:12] Is this the help chat? [01:14] Can someone help me with Flash? [01:15] Tim_: what's your problem? [01:18] 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. [01:20] Tim_: have you installed lubuntu-restricted-extras? [01:20] Yes I did it from the command line. [01:20] what isn't working? [01:23] Im try to watch my local news live streaming. I only have the Install adobe flash over the window. The site plays fine in my Cinnamon Mint install. [01:24] what browser is used there? [01:27] Google Chrome and Firefox. My Lubuntu is using just the opensource Chrome from the package maneger. [01:29] that's the problem, Tim_ [01:29] Tim_: Chromium doesn't have the needed flash files [01:31] 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. [01:32] Isnt that how I can install Google Chrome? [01:32] here: https://www.google.com/chrome/ [01:33] download and install the .deb file [01:35] Ok thank you very much for your time and help. [02:47] 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 [03:08] merlin___: try Alt + F2 [03:28] thanks! [06:26] Hey I am having trouble getting cron to run a job [06:26] I did a small test [06:27] 1 * * * * echo "Oye cron ran me" > /home//cron-ran.txt [06:27] I put the above line followed by a new line [06:27] no file is created in the home dir after 1 minute [06:31] I dont know why my cron isnt running [06:32] there is a new line at the end too [07:01] Hmm ok cron is working [07:08] aiena1: nie [07:08] *nice [07:08] LuMint: It was a config error [07:09] I realised that for every you need to do */1 no 1 [07:09] for whichever cron unit [07:09] in the tab [07:09] silly me :P [07:10] I wonder if there is a way to make cron start a service on boot [07:11] and then rerun it to ensure it is running every sort of 5 minutes or so [07:17] thanks anyway === pavlushka is now known as Guest81133 === Guest81133 is now known as pavlushka [20:19] Scott discusses how his SJW neighbor called the cops, hired an attorney, and is trying to get him kicked out of his house.
