| Burgersim | is there any "easy understandable" way to tell me how i can get the phone to work (music syncing) on the pc? | 02:18 |
| mrkramps | Burgersim:$ sudo apt-get installlibimobiledevice-utils | 02:21 |

| FireStriker | Hey guys what's the system specs? | 06:19 |
| FireStriker | Will it run amazingly on a Pentium dual core 1.86/87GHz 2gb ram 2007/8 Toshiba laptop? | 06:21 |
| Spass | FireStriker: Hey. You should be very happy with Xubuntu on that machine. | 07:05 |
| FireStriker | Ok | 07:05 |
| FireStriker | Sounds awesome | 07:08 |
| Spass | The slowest part is probably the 5400rpm HDD, which I assume that laptop has. But overall it should run smooth :) In the future you can upgrade RAM to 4 GB. | 07:13 |
| FireStriker | it's max is 2gb ram | 07:14 |
| Spass | Oh, ok. | 07:15 |
| FireStriker | The CPU is a T2390 | 07:15 |
| FireStriker | The modal which might say the drive number is Toshiba 200/m00 | 07:16 |
| FireStriker | Drive speed. | 07:16 |
| FireStriker | I am looking it up now | 07:16 |
| FireStriker | But It will be faster than old vista lol | 07:17 |
| Spass | Just try to not overload your browser with too many tabs at once, for example. | 07:17 |
| Spass | Yes, it should be faster than Vista ;) | 07:17 |
| FireStriker | Ik I try | 07:17 |
| FireStriker | You should of saw it on 1gb | 07:18 |
| FireStriker | It struggled with 1 tab | 07:18 |
| Spass | Xubuntu is a very good way to give your older laptop a new life. | 07:18 |
| FireStriker | How do you tell the speed of a HDd? | 07:19 |
| Spass | Well, I don't know any particular software to test it, but most of 2,5" laptop HDD's was 5400rpm. 7200rpm were in "business class" laptops like ThinkPad, Latitude or Portege. | 07:23 |
| FireStriker | True | 07:24 |
| FireStriker | Should it say on the drive lol | 07:24 |
| Spass | Sometimes it does. | 07:25 |
| FireStriker | I have a PS3 drive in my room that came out of my dead PS3 but I don't know what speed it is. But it being an old pc I think the drive in it should do just fine plus it an upgrade that wouldn't be used to max portent | 07:26 |
| Spass | Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem at all. What version are you installing? LTS or 16.10? | 07:29 |
| FireStriker | LTS | 07:30 |
| FireStriker | That drive doesn't sound the happiest atm lol it made a noise at me. That or the blind taped it | 07:30 |
| FireStriker | Idk | 07:31 |
| FireStriker | Could of been the aircon for all I know lol | 07:31 |
| FireStriker | How are you Spass | 07:32 |
| Spass | Been better, but OK, thanks. And you? | 07:35 |
| FireStriker | I'm good working on 2 laptops that are literally killing me but alright | 07:36 |
| FireStriker | Lol | 07:36 |
| Spass | It could be a struggle sometimes, true. | 07:37 |
| FireStriker | When you need a computer for school and your laptop of 3 years starts to fall t bits it becomes hard not going for enother hp lol. This Toshiba has become my project | 07:39 |
| FireStriker | And it runs better than the hp ATM | 07:39 |
| FireStriker | It's been running 7 but because I can't find the drivers I'm switching it to Linux (Toshiba) | 07:41 |
| FireStriker | What's this mean | 07:45 |
| FireStriker | http://i.imgur.com/hmJfZP0.jpg | 07:46 |
| FireStriker | Is that good? | 07:46 |
| Spass | My Toshiba Satellite L300 (Intel Celeron, 2GB) runs to this time, very good piece of hardware, really. And it was very cheap when I bought it for my girlfriend's son for school. | 07:46 |
| Spass | Currently my mother uses it. It looks like new :) | 07:47 |
| FireStriker | How old is it? | 07:47 |
| Spass | 2009 I think. When this occurs? After this it boots normally? | 07:51 |
| FireStriker | Booted the USB not even installed yet | 07:53 |
| FireStriker | Before the live cd option | 07:53 |
| FireStriker | Oh it's back | 07:53 |
| FireStriker | It was taking a while | 07:53 |
| Spass | I'm not an expert, but it doesn't look any worrying. Should be fine after installation. | 07:54 |
| FireStriker | Ok | 07:54 |
| FireStriker | I am kinda stepping out of my comfort zone with this computer now | 07:55 |
| FireStriker | I'm trying to install 64bit when all I have been doing is 32but | 07:55 |
| FireStriker | But | 07:55 |
| FireStriker | Bit | 07:55 |
| FireStriker | Stupid autocorrect | 07:55 |
| FireStriker | The worst that could happen is it say oii that's a 32bit computer right | 08:02 |
| Spass | http://ark.intel.com/products/35153/ | 08:04 |
| Spass | I checked that when you mentioned you're installing 64-bit version. | 08:05 |
| FireStriker | Why doesn't Microsoft make windows live cds that would make installing windows a little easier and you could check out the new OS | 08:07 |
| FireStriker | They should rly do that for win11/12/whatever they might call it | 08:08 |
| Spass | They assume you think that Windows is the only OS for your PC, so why wasting time checking it? You must install it nonetheless, because it's "your only option". | 08:10 |
| Spass | "Just do it!" | 08:10 |
| FireStriker | True lol | 08:12 |
| FireStriker | I'm going afk if your on when I get back I will tell you how it went | 08:17 |
| Spass | OK :) | 08:20 |
| FireStriker | Hi spass I'm back it compleated | 10:27 |
| FireStriker | I am now rebooting it | 10:27 |
| Spass | FireStriker: Is everything working fine? | 10:43 |
| FireStriker | I think so looks good | 10:45 |
| FireStriker | Don't know about audio drive tho | 10:48 |
| FireStriker | Need to do a better test that a movie on a USB that I don't know how good it was in the first place lol | 10:49 |
| FireStriker | Tested it it sounds all good | 10:51 |
| FireStriker | Pulled out brain power | 10:56 |
| FireStriker | And it didn't 'BSoD' on me | 10:56 |
| FireStriker | '' bc it doesn't blue screens it's audio gets messed up | 10:57 |
| FireStriker | And it sounds like a bsod | 10:57 |
| FireStriker | Running smoother and looks and feels better than lubuntu | 10:59 |
| FireStriker | Which I had as a duel boot for a moth on this computer | 10:59 |
| Spass | Good to hear. | 11:02 |

| xubuntu77w | Can anyone help with a Xubuntu 16.04 installation issue? | 20:27 |
| mrkramps | if you tell us your issue "anybody" might be able to assess if she or he can help you | 20:31 |
| xubuntu77w | Have produced image DVD from Xubuntu-16.04 and -1 desktop-i386.iso. Tried both but got same problem which is no text on the xubuntu/Xface desktop screen, though I see a dialog box with active scroll and buttons etc. | 20:37 |
| xubuntu77w | Suspect a display driver problem with View Sonic monitor | 20:37 |
| xubuntu77w | The machine normally runs XP pro and I have a blank partition ready for xubuntu install | 20:39 |
| mrkramps | graphics card? | 20:40 |
| xubuntu77w | Maybe, will need to check my manuals to find out what type. Is that what you are asking for? | 20:41 |
| mrkramps | yes | 20:42 |
| xubuntu77w | Please standby - looking ... | 20:43 |
| xubuntu77w | Looks like XFX GEForce 8500 GT 256 MB PCI. The MOB is Intel D975XBX2 Extreme Series | 20:44 |
| xubuntu77w | Its a fairly old machine ~ 2007 vintage | 20:45 |
| xubuntu77w | Memory is 2Gb RAM | 20:46 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu77w, when desktop is already started, or when you are in the menu/dialog for selecting language and if to install or try live? | 20:55 |
| xubuntu77w | Here's the boot sequence which ends with the first dialog box/desktop features I see agains the 'blue wave' screen: | 20:56 |
| xubuntu77w | After bios boot: I get -2 000.01:00 disp comm 01.0130 func 08 lookup failed followd by four SRST failed (error=-16 mesages) | 20:57 |
| xubuntu77w | Then Xubuntu banner screen with rotating dial and mouse log. After that a blank blue wave screen . | 20:58 |
| xubuntu77w | Finally a dialog box and some buttons (row of 8 along the bottom with #1 highlighted blue), a vertical scroll bar, and my mouse cursor,which I can use to move the dialog box window around. | 20:58 |
| xubuntu77w | Since there is no text displayed, I have no clue what those features offer, and I dont want to click on one, and do something studpid to my system! | 20:59 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu77w, try pressing ESC at the banner screen afaik an alternative menu should appear instead of this box dialog | 21:02 |
| xubuntu77w | OK, Will that alternative menu be another desktop menu or a b&w command screen (Run/DOS window?) | 21:02 |
| mrkramps | nope, it's the former mouse and keyboard driven dialog used before this new dialog was introduced | 21:04 |
| xubuntu77w | OK, but unfortunately I will have to kill this session(in XP Pro) to try that, so can you tell me a bit about | 21:05 |
| xubuntu77w | what to expect from that menu, if it works - I will fire up a lop top for the chat session after trying that. | 21:05 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu77w, just select language and keyboard layout an "Try Xubuntu w/o installing" | 21:06 |
| xubuntu77w | Ok, Will do. Thanks very much for your guidance. I will also try to register for the IRC (just took the default on entry). | 21:07 |
| xubuntu77w | I will be trekker425 or some such. | 21:09 |
| mrkramps | kk | 21:10 |
| hhee1 | guys, where can i ask about default color in midnight commander? in xubuntu 12 it's quite beautiful, in 16.10 it,s default blue background and so on | 21:26 |
| mrkramps | hhee1, Options → Appearance | 21:32 |
| trekker425 | Trekker425 here (previously xubuntu62w in dialog with mrkramps. | 21:32 |
| hhee1 | mrkramps, got it, thx | 21:32 |
| trekker425 | I tried ESC to old dialog box, but no joy. Reduced functionality compared with standard one. | 21:33 |
| trekker425 | ESC showed me the xubuntu boot script which showed some errors, but also loaded tons of services before showing me the Xubuntu banner page, from which I escaped. | 21:34 |
| trekker425 | Still no text on desktop | 21:35 |
| trekker425 | and if it asked for language and testing without install I would not know it. | 21:35 |
| xubuntu64w | help | 21:38 |
| xubuntu64w | help how do i get a flash player onto my system | 21:39 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu64w, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-addons | 21:40 |
| mrkramps | trekker425, i am sorry, i have absolutely no idea how to handle those nvidia graphics issues | 21:40 |
| trekker425 | OK, Thanks for trying. Maybe I will try a different ubuntu version or another distro. | 21:42 |
| mrkramps | trekker425, https://askubuntu.com/questions/612186/no-text-displayed-for-the-installer-while-attempting-to-install-to-macbook-pro-1 | 21:42 |
| xubuntu64w | Mr K Ramps it says unable to locate package | 21:43 |
| mrkramps | last comment should work for u | 21:43 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu64w, your ubuntu version? | 21:43 |
| xubuntu64w | ubuntu 16.4 | 21:44 |
| mrkramps | multiverse repository enabled? | 21:45 |
| mrkramps | Settings → Software & Updates → Ubuntu Software → [x] Software restricted by blabla (multiverse) | 21:45 |
| trekker425 | mrkamps , Checked the link thanks, will try another version of ubuntu maybe. | 21:49 |
| xubuntu64w | quit | 21:59 |
