[06:47] <FireStriker> Hi how big is the install of xubuntu 64bit (LTS)? Want to know how big to have the second partition be.
[07:27] <flocculant> FireStriker: a clean install in a vm uses ~3.5Gb, iirc the installer expects just over 6Gb to allow install
[07:29] <FireStriker> 6 ok
[10:09] <FireStriker> Hey all I'm working on my other laptop. How do do I duel boot Xubuntu with win8  (uefi)
[11:13] <frankiee_> Hi! So, it seems I have to revert to Xubuntu 12.04 due to my non-PAE CPU (Intel Celeron M 1.40GHz). If I simply do a `do-release-upgrade` after this, will I get the latest version of Xfce, audio/video codecs etc.?
[12:18] <azgonareth> hi guys
[12:24] <MoBeats> hi
[12:27] <MoBeats> frankiee_ ymmv with do-release-upgrade.
[13:22] <dCLCp> Is there any alternative to Evernote for Xubuntu/
[13:22] <dCLCp> *?
[13:24] <dCLCp> I tried to get everpad working but for some reason there's nothing in the package manager for xubuntu. I tried to install it through ppa but it kept saying there was nothing there. Am I stuck running evernote through wine / browser/
[13:24] <dCLCp> Also what's a good backup solution for my OS?
[13:27] <akxwi-dave> dCLCp: there was nixnote which used to sync with evernote
[13:27] <akxwi-dave> there was also nevernote as well
[13:27] <akxwi-dave> oh and everpad if I remeber right
[13:29] <dCLCp> Yes. I tried really hard to get everpad to work but it wouldn't.
[13:29] <dCLCp> Couldn't install it any which way I tried.
[13:31] <dCLCp> looks like nixpad isn't in synaptic/software manager either.
[13:33] <dCLCp> looks like nixnote will work after all.
[14:06] <akxwi-dave> personally I like deja-dup for my backup
[14:07] <akxwi-dave> I set mine up to put the backup file into my dropbox folder on the PC and allow that sync online..
[16:34] <tengelic> Hi! Should i fill a bug about thunar's slow startup?
[16:36] <tengelic> It's stops at 17:thunar:connect @/tmp/dbus-1dOTSNvPrt:0 and few seconds later continue normally.
[18:00] <tengelic> ?
[20:49] <John__> Hello, I bought a new laptop with amd gpu and i'm confused about the current state of amd drivers. Can someone explain what are all these drivers, fglrx, ati, amdgpu, amdgpu-pro? I want the best recommended driver for performance

[21:17] <glitchd> can anyone tell me ubuntu with the xubuntu desktop installed is faster than a xubuntu install?
[21:18] <glitchd> can anyone tell me why* ubuntu with the xubuntu desktop installed is faster than a xubuntu install?
[21:41] <tmsbrg> glitchd, what do you mean faster? As in better performance? I don't think so. Xubuntu is basically just Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop.
[21:42] <glitchd> tmsbrg, you see, thats the weird part.
[21:42] <glitchd> i have install ubuntu and added the xubuntu desktop, it performed awesome.
[21:43] <glitchd> then on a reinstall, i install just xubuntu straight forward, same machine, same kernel, same ram, everything the same except for the original ubuntu install, and it performed like poo.
[21:43] <glitchd> thats why im asking
[21:44] <tmsbrg> maybe check in xfce4-taskamanger if some process is using a lot of CPU or memory
[21:45] <glitchd> nope nothing out of the ordinary
[21:45] <tmsbrg> could also be something with default settings, though it seems weird. You could try disabling display compositing too in Settings->Window Manager Tweaks->Compositor
[21:45] <glitchd> just the overall feel of the desktop operations are not as fast
[21:46] <tmsbrg> could also be a coincidence with something else that changed, computers are complicated
[21:48] <glitchd> indeed they are, thats why i was asking about it. maybe there was a difference between the 2 os variants that i didnt know about.
[21:48] <tmsbrg> nothing I know myself, but I'm just another user
[21:49] <glitchd> right on
[22:36] <howard__> Hello,  I am just setting up xubuntu 16.04.1; what firewall setting would you advise for the avg. desktop user?  Or any kind of AV setup?
