| Eightynine | Hi. How can I get rid of tearing? I'm using HD 530 graphics. Enabling Compton didn't help. | 11:41 |

| ohemdevin | g'day all | 19:40 |
| ohemdevin | I got Xubuntu 16.04 installed on an old computer (designed to run Vista, hah) that has a dual-core processor and less than 1GB of RAM installed. | 19:42 |
| xubuntu_ | hola.... | 19:58 |
| xubuntu_ | ando aburrido.... | 19:58 |
| * ball waves | 19:59 | |
| xubuntu_ | estoy probando raring ringtail.... | 19:59 |
| Pici | !raring | 19:59 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring | 19:59 |
| xubuntu_ | ah ok, si entiendo que es end of life.... | 20:00 |
| ball | Can a Xubuntu ISO be dumped onto a flash drive and booted from on a PC? | 20:05 |
| ball | (I'm looking at amd64, though I may end up using i386) | 20:05 |
| Pici | sure | 20:06 |
| ball | Thanks Pici | 20:07 |
| xubuntu_ | solamente una pregunta... | 20:10 |
| Pici | !es | 20:11 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 20:11 |
| xubuntu_ | gracias.... | 20:11 |
| xubuntu_ | bueno, me retiro.... | 20:11 |
| ball | You done scared him off! | 20:13 |
| ball | Oh no, he or she went to #xubuntu-es | 20:14 |
| ball | Are the system requirements any lighter for i386? | 20:40 |
| ohemdevin | I've heard that requirements are lighter for i386 machines, don't have evidence to back that claim up. | 20:52 |
| ohemdevin | I'm running Xubuntu 16.04 on a 32-bit machine though.. | 20:52 |
| ohemdevin | This machine is on the lower end of the hardware spectrum (only 1GB of RAM), but it's quite snappy with XFCE. :D | 20:53 |
| ball | Hmm... ok. | 20:53 |
| ohemdevin | http://i.imgur.com/uNl4jii.png | 20:54 |
| ohemdevin | I don't do any serious work on this machine. I just use it for web browsing and spreadsheets. | 20:55 |
| * ball nods | 20:58 | |
| ball | My test rigs are even lower-end than that, though I have some more capable boxes sitting idle in storage,. | 20:58 |
| ohemdevin | Oh wow... at least there's always LXDE, i3, Openbox, etc.. | 20:59 |
| ohemdevin | I do think XFCE is a lot more appealing to look at than LXDE, but Openbox can be made into something quite nice to look at. | 21:00 |
| ohemdevin | I think once LXQt replaces LXDE, that might be something work using. :P | 21:00 |
| ohemdevin | Dunno if the tests are true or not, but the LXQt devs checked how much RAM the DE used and it was actually using less mem than XFCE.. | 21:01 |
| ohemdevin | https://blog.lxde.org/2016/10/04/benchmark-memory-usage-lxqt-desktop-environment-vs-xfce/ | 21:02 |
| ohemdevin | I found it interesting that Cinnamon actually uses more RAM than GNOME 3 in that test.. | 21:03 |
| gr1dl0ck | i've tried debian with some of those DE's and found it to be feelin incomplete from a proper get go DE. I just keep running back to xubuntu/linuxlite. | 21:13 |
| gr1dl0ck | the only debian that came close is the MXlinux | 21:14 |
| ohemdevin | I tried out SparkyLinux... it's okay. | 21:14 |
| ohemdevin | It was good for reviving an old laptop with an Atom CPU. | 21:15 |
| ohemdevin | ..that was originally running Windows XP on it. | 21:15 |
| ohemdevin | Even THAT took forever to boot... SparkyLinux on the other hand? It took less than a minute. | 21:15 |
| ohemdevin | To be on the desktop! | 21:15 |
| ohemdevin | I don't really like tiling wms btw... XFCE is a great DE that takes a very short amount of time to customize. | 21:16 |
| ohemdevin | I keep getting tempted to try out tiling wms because of r/unixporn, but ehhh | 21:17 |
| prtg02 | hi all :) | 21:43 |
| prtg02 | I just installed openbox on my machine from a server version of ubuntu only | 21:43 |
| prtg02 | how can I start openbox, simply typing "startx" does not do the trick | 21:43 |
| ohemdevin | This might be a good question to ask in #ubuntu, but I will try my hands at some Google-Fu for you. | 21:46 |
| ohemdevin | http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Getting_started#Starting_Openbox_without_the_graphical_log_in | 21:47 |
| ohemdevin | This wasn't recently updated, but it might still work for you! | 21:47 |
| prtg02 | yup, was trying to login to ubuntu but got into ubuntu-unregged | 21:48 |
| prtg02 | aka, to many users | 21:48 |
| prtg02 | I tried that command too from ur page, but got an error | 21:49 |
| prtg02 | https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2259345 | 21:49 |
| ohemdevin | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/openbox | 21:49 |
| ohemdevin | Arch Wiki to the rescue | 21:49 |
| prtg02 | got it working now, required some fucking around but anyway it works | 22:02 |
| ohemdevin | That's good. I didn't think Openbox was that hard to set up on Ubuntu... then again, I've never tried the server distribution... does it only come with Unity or just a plain 'ol CLI? | 22:03 |
| prtg02 | server edition is just CLI, its not really hard, I just never used openbox and I am not that familiar with the whole xorg thing | 22:09 |
| ball | Does Xubuntu support (and boot from) software RAID-1? | 22:34 |
| prtg02 | ball: absolutely | 22:34 |
| prtg02 | xubuntu is just an desktop environment nothing more, ubuntu with the kernel is what makes the hardware work. ubuntu supports RAID-1 and thus it will all work | 22:35 |
| ball | Thanks prtg02. Does the installer make that straightforward or is there some jiggery-pokery involved? | 22:35 |
| prtg02 | ball: not sure on that one, never used RAID-1 with the installer like that | 22:35 |
| ball | Still, it's useful information. Thank you. | 22:37 |
| prtg02 | :) no problem | 22:38 |
| * ball waits patiently for the Xubuntu DVD to burn. | 22:41 | |
| ball | Oh dear. Xubuntu (and perhaps Linux generally) won't work on my 32-bit test rig. | 22:56 |
| ball | ...and I don't have time to try the 64-bit one. | 22:56 |
| ball | Perhaps tomorrow. | 22:56 |
| ohemdevin | Is your computer using the 64-bit or 32-bit architecture? I think things will work better if you install the OS accordingly. Also, do you know if your computer has AMD, Intel, or Nvidia graphics? | 22:57 |
