[00:27] <newbie2> i'm running xubuntu but can't get online with chromium but I can with firefox.   how do i get chromium to work?
[01:59] <Wayward_Vagabond> So, Is there any way to make it so resource hungry programs cannot lock the system up entirely when they decide to crash?
[02:00] <bazhang> which ones
[02:00] <Wayward_Vagabond> firefox mainly, but minecraft does it too sometimes
[02:00] <bazhang> whats the ram there
[02:01] <Wayward_Vagabond> 4gb, the max supported by this machine
[02:02] <bazhang> firefox will use as much as it can
[02:03] <Wayward_Vagabond> Exactly, is there any way to place a cap, or make it so the kernel and WM always have priority?
[02:04] <bazhang> how often are you getting crashes
[02:04] <Wayward_Vagabond> I think minecraft cauing lockups is more related to cpu time than ram, as it doesn't happen during normal gameplay, just 'unusual' events with commands
[02:04] <bazhang> also how many tabs in firefox
[02:04] <Wayward_Vagabond> Well, I just had one
[02:05] <Wayward_Vagabond> It's usually a script heavy, poorly made website that triggers it
[02:05] <bazhang> get ghostery for firefox and noscript
[02:06] <Wayward_Vagabond> er, a bunch of tabs ._.
[02:07] <bazhang> get by with fewer and try the two plugins I just suggested
[02:07] <Wayward_Vagabond> It seems like something is wrong though for a user program to be able to lock up the system so tight the cursor and clock stop responding though?
[02:08] <Wayward_Vagabond> I'll look into both of those plugins, thanks
[02:08] <bazhang> four gig is really the issue these days
[02:08] <Wayward_Vagabond> I keep flash set so I need to manually enable it each time a web page requests it, most of them have no reason to need it on
[02:10] <rdf> Does about:memory still work in Firefox?
[02:10] <Wayward_Vagabond> huh, it seems to in the version I have
[02:12] <rdf> That should let you see exactly what's misbehaving on that website, and the minimize memory usage button also.
[02:14] <rdf> I use chromium, but you still have the same problem with tabs and plugins and stuff
[02:16] <rdf> Helpful?
[02:18] <Wayward_Vagabond> Eh, I don't trust the codebase of chromium due to it's parent project </tinfoil hat>
[02:18] <rdf> Well you're going to dislike Firefox as they're looking at WebKit
[02:19] <rdf> Or were. I know they're replacing gecko
[02:20] <rdf> I don't understand people's paranoia over Google. People freely post every minutiae on Facebook, but oooh... Google is evil.
[02:21] <Wayward_Vagabond> I don't use social media.
[02:21] <rdf> Wasn't singing you or mate...
[02:21] <rdf> I don't either.
[02:22] <Wayward_Vagabond> And I see a bit of difference between letting websites work to track me across them, or letting them directly into my browser to see everything (I don't use google's earch engine either, but it seems to return low quality results anyways)
[02:23] <rdf> That's because you have to drink the Koolaid
[02:24] <Wayward_Vagabond> ask has always seemed to givce the best web results for me, and yahoo for images
[02:24] <rdf> Once they search everything, search results are pretty phenominal.
[02:25] <rdf> Phenomenal
[02:25] <Wayward_Vagabond> I think it's more my use of keywords and preffered search reults. I used to say the only thing google was good at finding was smut, but there are search engines just for it now :x
[02:26] <Wayward_Vagabond> I'm assuming this channel is moderated, so I'll avoid elaborating any further.
[02:27] <rdf> Hehe
[06:51] <d33p1> hi guys! n00b here :)
[06:53] <d33p1> i succeeded in installing xubuntu together with win10 using yumi, however it seems i can only boot into xubuntu if i keep in the usb drive.. is that normal?
[07:26] <d33p1> hi guys! anyone online, by any chance?
[07:28] <glitchd> hello
[07:29] <d33p1> hi there glitchd!
[07:29] <glitchd> sounds like you eiher installed ubuntu on the usb drive, and not the computer hd
[07:30] <d33p1> oh sh%t
[07:30] <glitchd> yep..
[07:30] <glitchd> or, perhaps you installed grub to the usb?
[07:31] <glitchd> does a grub menu show at boot?
[07:31] <d33p1> when the usb drive is in, yes
[07:32] <d33p1> otherwise, it goes straight to win
[07:34] <glitchd> the it really sounds like you install grub and linux to the usb and not the computer hd
[09:06] <FireStriker> Hey all
[09:08] <knome> hello
[09:11] <FireStriker> Do you of any DVD riping software. I would like to back up my DVDs to play without a disc drive
[09:17] <knome> i haven't used one in a long time, but searching the repositories says "dvdrip - perl front end for transcode and ffmpeg
[09:17] <knome> ^ probably a good first shot at least, if not more.
[09:17] <knome> but you can likely do it in many ways...
[10:19] <bazhang> handbrake makes a nice gui
[10:19] <bazhang> ah he left
[10:47] <kippis> tried to install new language in xubuntu, but got an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/23470063/ how to fix it
[11:02] <kippis> tnx for help
[11:16] <FireStriker> Hi I'm looking for a nice irc client that I can use that can be easy put to the side of the screen and not interfere with everything while browsing the web or installing packages
[11:20] <FireStriker> how do I check how much memory my graphic has?
[11:29] <DiamondSword> FireStriker, power button / About this computer ?
[11:29] <FireStriker> Found it
[11:30] <FireStriker> Used glxinfo | grep Video
[11:33] <Spass> FireStriker: What IRC client are you using now?
[11:36] <FireStriker> Just mutter on my phone or kwie online
[11:38] <Spass> FireStriker: I think that HexChat works just fine, it's configurable, and it can be easily put to the tray icon if not used. http://pasteboard.co/qIfGGW0OL.png
[11:39] <FireStriker> Ok I will look at that after I figure out what playonlinux did lol
[11:39] <FireStriker> I ran GTA SA now the resolution is muched up
[11:40] <FireStriker> Found it
[11:41] <FireStriker> Can I set plank to run at start up by any chance?
[11:43] <Spass> Sure, Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart tab
[11:44] <Spass> Add -> plank
[11:45] <FireStriker> Name Plan right what about command leave it blank?
[11:46] <Spass> type "plank"
[11:46] <FireStriker> Oh I need to find the 'exe' of sorts lol
[11:46] <Spass> Or just type.
[11:47] <FireStriker> Thanks
[11:47] <Spass> np
[11:49] <FireStriker> Man it was a good choice going with xubuntu.
[11:49] <FireStriker> Looks amazing compared to lubuntu has a more active irc than lubuntu and the continuity is nice
[11:51] <FireStriker> I have gotten so many questions answered and problems solved here
[11:51] <Spass> True, I'm using Xubuntu as my main OS for some time now, very happy with it.
[11:52] <FireStriker> I have had a hot cold experience with the ubuntu support community
[11:52] <FireStriker> Depends what I ask and when
[11:53] <FireStriker> But I haven't needed to ask them much since switching to xubuntu
[12:08] <FireStriker> Hexchat or unofficial hexchat?
[12:12] <cfhowlett> "unofficial"  don't even know what that means.  hexchat is in the repo and that's the one you want.
[12:18] <FireStriker> spass should i use hexchat or unoffical-hexchat?
[12:20] <cfhowlett> unless you are familiar with snaps, use plain vanilla hexchat
[12:20] <FireStriker> snaps?
[12:20] <FireStriker> i will stick with normal lol
[12:32] <Spass> FireStriker: Sorry I was afk. As cfhowlett said, HexChat from official repos works fine.
[12:32] <FireStriker> ok
[12:32] <FireStriker> thats alright
[12:32] <FireStriker> my phone died
[12:33] <FireStriker> im on kiwi atm
[12:38] <Spass> FireStriker: Generally speaking, always try to use software available in the official Xubuntu repos. Unless you really need it from elsewhere, for example - usually PPA's have newer version of some apps.
[12:40] <FireStriker> im doing that so far i havnt needed to stay tomuch away from the repos
[12:40] <FireStriker> on the software "store" there was both the unoffical and offical ones
[12:52] <FireStriker> the fan may or maynot have just carked it on this laptop
[12:54] <FireStriker> hope not as a replacement would be hard to come by
[13:03] <Spass> If you're on that Toshiba that you mentioned yesterday it shouldn't be a big problem to change the fan. It's a popular model.
[13:06] <FireStriker> true
[13:06] <FireStriker> plus i have a cooling pad
