| Monkeyhuouse | Hi there | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| bazhang | hi | 00:04 |
| Monkeyhuouse | So I was recommended to download xubuntu on my aging, nigh useless laptop, which i'm on right now. | 00:05 |
| Monkeyhuouse | Not quite as slow as win10 on this old EeePC, but not super smooth either. So I'm wondering what things (bells, whistles, etc) I can tweak or disable to get better performance. | 00:06 |
| bazhang | whats the ram on the eeepc | 00:06 |
| Monkeyhuouse | Got 2GB on this baby. Should be lightning fast B) | 00:06 |
| bazhang | with firefox? | 00:07 |
| Monkeyhuouse | Uh, yeah. It came preinstalled. Just fetched the latest xubuntu | 00:07 |
| Monkeyhuouse | But FF aside it's still pretty blotty and stuttery on occasion, when loading programs | 00:08 |
| bazhang | lightning fast and two gb probably not going to happen | 00:08 |
| Monkeyhuouse | ('twas a joke) | 00:08 |
| Monkeyhuouse | But seriously I'm just wondering what I can do to lessen the resource needs. I'm completely new to linux :x | 00:08 |
| bazhang | this is strictly a support channel | 00:09 |
| Monkeyhuouse | I know. I'm asking a sincere question. The lightning fast thing was my only joke. | 00:09 |
| bazhang | try the lubuntu yet? | 00:09 |
| Monkeyhuouse | Nnnope. This is my first successful linux install on this device. Is there that drastic a difference between xubuntu and lubuntu? | 00:09 |
| pencilandpaper | Monkeyhuouse: I have a few suggestions on how you could speed things up a bit. | 00:10 |
| bazhang | apt install lubuntu-desktop | 00:10 |
| Monkeyhuouse | @pencilandpaper: Happy to hear whatever you suggest | 00:10 |
| bazhang | then choose lubuntu in the login | 00:10 |
| pencilandpaper | Yes there is Monkeyhuouse , the desktop itself. You are better off using Xubuntu with Xfce over Lubuntu with lxde. Xfce is simply nicer. | 00:10 |
| Monkeyhuouse | Well then I made the right choice c: | 00:11 |
| pencilandpaper | Okie dokes Monkeyhuouse . Ok, now one thing that you can disable is compositing..and you can do that in the settings manager, window manager tweaks. Let me know when you are there please. :) | 00:11 |
| pencilandpaper | I think so Monkeyhuouse . :) I run a lighter OS as well that you can install Xfce on, but we can talk about that too if you would like in private. | 00:12 |
| Monkeyhuouse | There | 00:12 |
| Monkeyhuouse | I assume just unchecking the top most box under the Compositor tab, yeah? c: | 00:15 |
| Monkeyhuouse | D'oh. | 00:16 |
| egstein01 | Hey, I'm having problems with updateing my Intel Graphics Driver | 00:32 |
| egstein01 | **updating | 00:33 |
| bazhang | egstein01, drivers from where | 00:33 |
| egstein01 | I have a Intel Graphics card 5500, It's been having screen flickering issues | 00:34 |
| bazhang | yes, where from | 00:34 |

| Monkeyhuouse | Is there a non-keyboard shortcut for exiting fullscreen? | 02:05 |
| Monkeyhuouse | Got stuck with 10 minutes looking around for something to click or messing with the taskbar. | 02:05 |
| qualiaqq | Would anyone know how to connect to a wifi device (a drone) and remain connecting to the Internet through ethernet on Xubuntu 16.04? | 07:34 |
