AMD / NVIDIA. (not a laptop) [00:55] nouckey, how much ram and what processor [00:55] a 5 year old machine should be fine running ubuntu mate, xubuntu, or lubuntu [00:56] my laptop is 6y old and runs smooth with Xubuntu. 2Gb ram, dual-core 2.10Ghz cpu [00:57] that will run any of those 3 fine, probably run gnome ok but slow [00:57] mainly the ram [00:58] everybody ready for the Y2017 bug? [00:59] nope [01:00] backups to /dev/null and that sorts of things... [01:00] they are adding a small fraction of a second to each second in the day to create a cumulative "leap second" using long seconds [01:01] this will prevent global catastrophe [01:01] :) [01:01] nedbat, hehehe - I heard about "atomic clocks" being used to avoid that!

Seems most of them require downloading subtitles seperately, which is strange considering they are already on the DVD! [01:12] or maybe there is some program to "convert" subtitles from the dvd to a subtitle file [01:15] Gaming4JC: mplayer2 and mpv should [01:22] maybe if I go to bed everything will have gone back to normal tomorrow. has this ever happened ? [01:23] well when my hair started thinning i hoped tht would happen every morning [01:23] never changed [01:23] :) [01:23] but if your tired and all , i'd hit the sack and think about what distro you want to install [01:23] haha. at least you had time to get used to it [01:24] :) [01:24] i settled on ubuntu mate because i like the drink [01:24] but this computer can barely run this chat [01:24] so to create a bootable key is a challenge :) [01:25] well only good thing about linux problems is once you come out the other end you always learned something [01:26] mmm when this happened to me before all i remember is a creeping panic and vertigo. Everytime I have one problem it transforms into zillions of problems and I can't remember what was my first problem [01:27] but sure I'm learning to manage anger and frustration :) [01:27] see there we go :) [01:33] nouckey, try xanax [01:34] I don't have any, all pharmacists want to give me is plants and stuff [01:36] I think depression is a pretty natural reaction to a very sick society and to the agony of a personal computer. it's ok to feel things dr.

[01:40] is this where i can get answers for ubuntu? [01:40] My file selection dialog is huuuuuge. So huge, if I center it with the screen, it's all white. I can't resize it, either. I'm using Ubuntu 16.10, with MATE. How did it get like this, and how can I fix it? [01:42] yes it is Guest20623 (not from me though) [01:44] Is there an easy way to make an ISO of my current Ubuntu setup i made, so I can install it on another computer?

[02:01] Guest20623: doubtful that you will see a change in performance on just a desktop use . Bear in mind that 32 bit software is fast loosing support . [02:01] Guest20623: No one in this channel is going to say anything besides Ubuntu. [02:02] lol [02:02] Arch is pretty good too if you want to understand everything top-down [02:02] true [02:02] Ben64: Seems VLC has subtitle suppport too, but you have to turn it on from the settings using subtracks [02:02] thanks. [02:03] I havent tried Arch yet [02:03] yeah but vlc is terrible [02:03] Ben64: whats the problem [02:03] with vlc [02:03] I recommend it. It's a lot slicker than say Gentoo but it allows you to configure everything quite extensively. [02:03] bad quality [02:03] what does that mean [02:03] confusing interface but overall it does have a lot of cool stuff [02:04] videos look worse when viewed with vlc [02:04] relative to [02:04] not vlc [02:04] no [02:04] need referent [02:04] theres always manjaro if one wants an easier arch experience, too [02:04] Been playing around alot with Lubuntu [02:05] and also linux mint [02:05] cinnamon [02:05] Linux Mint keeps getting hacked so I'm not sure how much I trust it (or at least their website) [02:06] what gets hacked on mint? [02:06] this really isn't the place to talk about other distributions [02:06] or is it just their site? [02:06] their website had some old plugins and got hacked, but someone donated some money and fixed all that [02:06] rangemonger: Their main website got hacked awhile ago and a fake download link put up, and then this past week or so someone claims to have gotten root on their backend webserver (note this server does not have iso or packages) [02:07] ah [02:07] Hello my unknown friends. I have a new laptop and i wanted to install ubuntu 16.4 instead of having win10 so i downloaded the 1.4gb ubuntu.iso from the website, burned it and now when it boots, its stucked at the violete screen... I dont know whats the problem :(( [02:08] Why would anyone want to hack someones website anyway. i mean, they are offering a free alternative desktop for people to use and some jerk has to mess it up!

[04:32] CodeMouse92: neither [04:33] CodeMouse92, never mix debian in there [04:33] cfhowlett, I made an MP4 video illustrating the severe screen flicker problem that I've come across. I've uploaded it to my website. It's 366 MB. Do you want the URL? [04:33] Let me specify: I need a third party package, and either I can install the .deb that happens to be available for Debian Sid, or I can spend seven hours Debian packaging it myself. [04:33] But I have to have the package. [04:34] i'll bite, what is the package [04:34] libc++ [04:34] jesus no stop [04:34] indians are amazing people. [04:34] LLVM's version, NOT GNU's libstdc++, Ben64. [04:34] freedumbs, you have been warned ... [04:34] Relax. :) [04:35] stop [04:35] what i love indians. [04:35] ubuntu. together one.

[04:36] freedumbs, not here [04:36] (In case you're wondering, I'm an expert-level C++ developer, so I'm not installing something willy-nilly. libc++ is not installed anywhere otherwise - this would be fresh.) [04:36] take the chat elsewhere please freedumbs [04:36] CodeMouse92: wow. sounds scary. [04:36] CodeMouse92: you're still doing it wrong [04:37] CodeMouse92: sounds like you've wasted your life. [04:37] CodeMouse92, it's not supported here, please dont continue asking here for help [04:37] Ben64: Okay, I'll bite. This will be version #5 of how to get the latest version of this working. What's your idea? [04:37] install debian [04:37] CodeMouse92, compile or get a PPA [04:37] bazhang: All righty. Nevermind on all points. [04:38] I guess I'm going to go build a PPA for this. [04:38] or report the bug, fix the bug if you're an expert [04:38] Ben64: You seem to have missed the point. The bug IS fixed. I was pointed to the .deb package by the *actual developers* [04:38] As opposed to debian packaging the whole stupid thing myself? [04:38] Ben64 sounds like a jerk.

The special thing is, that you send the comand "shout start" and the program stays open until I press "CTRL + C". What would be the best way to run this on bootup? Without stopping the service. [05:07] cfhowlett, http://dpaste.com/26QY6T8 [05:08] linuxuser, not something I can instantly suss out, but libgl points to graphics ... I think. At any rate, #ubuntu-steam would know more [05:09] cfhowlett, thanks [05:09] best of luck [05:10] sth messy happes in 16.04 with gnome-software packages. package is kept from apt-get upgrade [05:14] chomwitt, did you try dist-upgrade to get those held back packages [05:14] chomwitt, that does NOT change versions [05:15] !dist-upgrade | chomwitt [05:15] chomwitt: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [05:16] bazhang: nop , i did the usual : apt-get update , apt-get upgrade [05:16] !upgrade [05:16] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:16] chomwitt, then try it? [05:17] bazhang, apt-get upgrade is NOT the same as apt-get dist-upgrade [05:17] cfhowlett: so should i try it? [05:17] as bazhang wisely suggested --- yes! [05:17] cfhowlett, correct [05:17] cfhowlett: ok. === Sweepyoface is now known as Manabot [05:19] quit [05:19] exit [05:19] how do i open a folder as admin? [05:19] just being curious, why apt-get upgrade cant handle this ? [05:19] sudo nautilus path/to/folder/ [05:19] linuxuser, why would you need to do that [05:21] bazhang, add somehting to sources.list [05:21] linuxuser, then sudo nano === Manabot is now known as Sweepyoface [05:22] not practical for me to use nano [05:22] gedit would be better [05:22] nano gedit vim ... no shortage of editors. choose 1. [05:22] linuxuser, then use what is practical for you [05:23] need to open file or folder as root though [05:23] sudo gedit filename ... [05:23] dont know how [05:23] hmm [05:23] ok [05:23] thanks [05:23] and you best be very certain about what you change as root [05:24] in /etc/apt/sources.list linuxuser [05:26] I filed bug #1653323 regarding the screen flicker problem, FWIW [05:26] bug 1653323 in xorg (Ubuntu) "Severe screen flicker on Unity when terminal maximized" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1653323 [05:27] finally got steam to work now :) [05:27] Hi, can I 'dd' the mini.iso to my usb drive? i.e. Is the image a hybrid? [05:29] hybrid? [05:30] linuxuser: yes. I hybrid iso that can boot from cdrom or usb. Rather common these days. [05:31] piousminion, i think the answer is yes [05:31] try it out and see if it boots? [05:32] linuxuser: I guess that's the only option I have. :P [05:32] hi i want learn programing languge for IT [05:32] mohamed_, youtube has plenty of tutorials [05:33] but i cant wat can we du to first languge i learn first [05:34] mohamed_, please ask in ##programming [05:34] mohamed_, this is ubuntu support [05:34] ok [05:36] wat can we do to download program to ubuntu [05:36]
