[00:03] <Monkeyhuouse> Hi there
[00:04] <bazhang> hi
[00:05] <Monkeyhuouse> So I was recommended to download xubuntu on my aging, nigh useless laptop, which i'm on right now.
[00:06] <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)
[00:07] <bazhang> with firefox?
[00:07] <Monkeyhuouse> Uh, yeah. It came preinstalled. Just fetched the latest xubuntu
[00:08] <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
[00:09] <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?
[00:10] <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.
[00:11] <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. :)
[00:12] <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
[00:15] <Monkeyhuouse> I assume just unchecking the top most box under the Compositor tab, yeah? c:
[00:16] <Monkeyhuouse> D'oh.
[00:32] <egstein01> Hey, I'm having problems with updateing my Intel Graphics Driver
[00:33] <egstein01> **updating
[00:33] <bazhang> egstein01, drivers from where
[00:34] <egstein01> I have a Intel Graphics card 5500, It's been having screen flickering issues
[00:34] <bazhang> yes, where from
[00:34] <egstein01> I tried to update them but it says the key isn't valid
[00:35] <egstein01> The Intel Grapics Updater
[00:35] <egstein01> https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
[02:05] <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.
[07:34] <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?
[18:39] <xubuntu60i> Hello
[22:43] <sergio-br2> so xubuntu 16.04.2 daily has small buttons for OK and cancel now
