mate|81273hi01:08
ubuntu-matetrying to decide between i386 or amd64 version of ubuntu mate 16.04 for my acer aspire 1410.  It's 64-bit, only has 2 BiB of ram.  Which should I use?03:52
ubuntu-mateany advice?04:47
Astro7467I have a few thoughts;04:48
Astro7467anecdotal  evidence of the impact of 32-bit vs 64-bit on RAM is that it is minimumal04:49
Astro746732-bit is starting to become the exception rather than the norm for distro support (eg. Debian, Ubuntu & Arch hv all announce plans to drop 32-bit x86)04:50
Astro7467Unless you are after the absolute best performance, and setting the machine up in a fixed state, 32-bit seems a short term bet04:51
Astro7467and... they are gone04:51
alkisg(06:50:13 πμ) Astro7467: 32-bit is starting to become the exception rather than the norm for distro support (eg. Debian, Ubuntu & Arch hv all announce plans to drop 32-bit x86) ==> link? I can't find any debian announcement that it's dropping 686...06:07
alkisgI found this one, for 586, which is a different story though: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/05/msg00001.html06:08
Astro7467alkisg: fair summary of the situation - LTS versions (eg Jessie & 16.04) will continue to support 32-bit until-end-of-life - but looks like beyond that, no active dev/support06:11
alkisgAstro7467: stretch and 18.04 will support i38606:12
alkisgWhere did you see the opposite?06:12
Astro7467Hmm. maybe my brain is getting fired - I I just did a search and cannot find explicit statement of dropping 32-bit - looks like I was to sure and shld have qualified my statement06:15
alkisgAstro7467: np, thanks for checking, it would affect thousands of installations here06:16
Astro7467Apologies for any heart-attacks induced O_o06:16

vltHello. I'm connecting to an Ubuntu 16.04 MATE machine via xrdp. There are some problems with the windows and decorations. 1) I can't use Alt+Tab for more than one othe window. 2) The mouse pointer never changes: no hand or resize arrows. Any idea what might be the problem here?15:55
alkisgxrdp isn't very well maintained :)15:56
alkisgx2go is better... :D15:56
alkisgvlt, why xrdp instead of the other solutions, like x2go, remote x/ltsp etc?15:57
alkisgAnyway, open an issue on the github xrdp page, they might be able to fix a couple of bugs...16:02

Astro7467if you go into gparted, can you see the existing hdd/sdd partitions?16:36

mate|91895yes. there is 1 partition16:36
Astro7467which version is installed? what version are you installing (live booted into)?16:38
Astro7467I ask, unless you manually cfg partitions or installed 17.04 alpha, I would expect 2 or more partitions16:40
alkisgmate|91895: from the menu, check "try ubuntu" instead of "install ubuntu", so that you are in the live session and in irc in the same time16:41
alkisgAt that point, come again for instructions16:41

vltalkisg: We have been running LTSP for more than a decade now. After recent firefox developments (dropping remote X support) we have so poor performance that we had to move to something else. x2go wasn’t as fast as xrdp.21:36
vltalkisg: We still use LTSP to boot up the clients that run xfreerdp on SCREEN_07 ;-)21:36
vltI’m pretty sure the Alt+Tab problem is not xrdp related. It happens also in “pure” Xvnc sessions.21:38
ubuntu-mateHi friends! :)21:58
