[00:00] <tsimonq2> merlin___: can you be more specific please?
[00:07] <merlin___> i've disconnected. did someone reply to my msgs?
[00:12] <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
[00:15] <merlin___> but will 64 bit version be more exacting to machine resources?
[00:16] <lynorian> merlin___, it will use a little more ram
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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?
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <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
[00:30] <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
[00:36] <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?
[00:37] <dude> And; sould i be using a different distro, og is it same same - only pref on GUI?
[00:39] <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
[00:42] <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.
[00:44] <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.
[00:46] <dude> lynorian: I see. Well, i'm a minimalist, so the pack's shouldn't be a problem.
[00:47] <dude> wxl: thank you :) nor uncommon tho :/
[00:49] <wxl> dude: no, dude.
[00:53] <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
[01:00] <dude> Good night, boys :)
[01:08] <merlin___> thanks
[01:12] <Tim_> Is this the help chat?
[01:14] <Tim_> Can someone help me with Flash?
[01:15] <tsimonq2> Tim_: what's your problem?
[01:18] <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.
[01:20] <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?
[01:23] <Tim_> 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] <tsimonq2> what browser is used there?
[01:27] <Tim_> Google Chrome and Firefox.  My Lubuntu is using just the opensource Chrome from the package maneger.
[01:29] <tsimonq2> that's the problem, Tim_
[01:29] <tsimonq2> Tim_: Chromium doesn't have the needed flash files
[01:31] <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.
[01:32] <Tim_> Isnt that how I can install Google Chrome?
[01:32] <tsimonq2> here: https://www.google.com/chrome/
[01:33] <tsimonq2> download and install the .deb file
[01:35] <Tim_> Ok thank you very much for your time and help.
[02:47] <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
[03:08] <tsimonq2> merlin___: try Alt + F2
[03:28] <merlin___> thanks!
[06:26] <aiena1> Hey I am having trouble getting cron to run a job
[06:26] <aiena1> I did a small test
[06:27] <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
[06:31] <aiena1> I dont know why my cron isnt running
[06:32] <aiena1> there is a new line at the end too
[07:01] <aiena1> Hmm ok cron is working
[07:08] <LuMint> aiena1: nie
[07:08] <LuMint> *nice
[07:08] <aiena1> LuMint:  It was a config error
[07:09] <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
[07:10] <aiena1> I wonder if there is a way to make cron start a service on boot
[07:11] <aiena1> and then rerun it to ensure it is running every sort of 5 minutes or so
[07:17] <aiena1> thanks anyway

[20:21] <LuMint> who are all these people?
[20:21] <LuMint> how is this relevant to lubuntu?
[20:22] <tsimonq2> LuMint: it's not, I would ignore it
