[00:46] <LDG> Anyone here?
[00:47] <wxl> !ask
[00:48] <LDG> Today I realized that i hold onto old laptop for a bit too long.  I have three laptop from 2010.  In my head one works best.  It has 4GB of DDR3 and and i3.
[00:48] <LDG> The other is a 2010 HP mini laptop and a third has a intel celron processer and 4GB of DDR2 ram
[00:49] <LDG> Is lubuntu considered a light OS?
[00:49] <wxl> yep
[00:50] <LDG> It seems to run really good on my netbook.
[00:51] <LDG> I don't know if I should upgrade the DDR3/i3 laptop with an SSD or get one for my Intel Celeron / DDR2 laptop.
[00:52] <LDG> What would you suggest?
[00:52] <wxl> i'd go for the i3
[00:54] <LDG> should i abandon the one with DDR2?
[00:54] <LDG> Intel celeron
[00:54] <LDG> The netbook kinds sucks but I like to carry it at work i have to type out a statement or 2.
[00:54] <wxl> i mean you could do both but ddr is ooooold
[00:55] <wxl> and celrons can be problematic at times
[00:56] <LDG> laptops don't run on ddr anymore?
[00:59] <wxl> ddr2 i meant
[00:59] <wxl> tbh, ddr3 has gone by the wayside
[01:00] <wxl> but it's hard as heck to find ddr2
[01:02] <LDG> all this time i thought my i3 was a beast.  i hadn't stopped to think about that fact that i bought it 7 years ago.
[01:04] <LDG> would you recommend I load up lubunto on the intel celeron or should I get a heavier OS?
[01:04] <wxl> it will be hard pressed to run anything outside of lubuntu
[01:06] <LDG> thanks for you help.
[01:06] <LDG> i don't know anyone else that knows anything outside of windows.
[01:06] <wxl> that's what we're here for :)
[02:23] <ldg> need some help
[02:24] <ldg> i installed lubuntu 16.04 on a hp mini netbook but cant see wifi networks.
[02:24] <ldg> i'm new to linux. tried google but nothing seems to help.
[04:40] <Rizoman> where can i download WIfi drivers for HP Stream Notebook
[04:40] <Rizoman> i just installed Lubuntu and not able to connect to the internet
[04:40] <Rizoman> wifi drivers are not installed yet....
[08:31] <Guest4959> I've just installed lubuntu on a netbook and when I press any key it automatically brings up the log out / shut down prompt.
[08:50] <leszek> Guest4959: sounds weird. Have you tried logout and login again ?
[08:55] <Guest4959> Yeah I've done that and even reinstalled again using a pen drive. As soon as I press any key to type password it turns off.
[11:24] <mishugana> hola
[11:24] <mishugana> anybody in here?
[11:25] <hateball> yep
[11:25] <hateball> !ask | mishugana
[11:25] <mishugana> woohoo! :P
[11:26] <mishugana> Okay, so here's my question: is Lubuntu, for all means and purposes, the same as Ubuntu if I want to use it for development?
[11:27] <mishugana> My problem is this - I'm running an Ubuntu 16.04 (?) instance on my macOS using Vmware fusion, and it gets extremely hot even for moderate use
[11:27] <mishugana> I've given 4GB (tried upto 6GB) RAM and 60GB
[11:27] <mishugana> and have the usual bunch of compilers running (no heavy IDEs, just Emacs and Sublime Text at most)
[11:28] <mishugana> and I had read the Lubuntu is far more resource-friendly than Ubuntu?
[11:28] <mishugana> I know that a lot of the issues are due to Vmware fusion itself, but I'm looking for a handy distro that I can do development on, but is less resource hungry than Ubuntu
[11:28] <hateball> mishugana: the only difference is the default DE
[11:28] <mishugana> but with good support from libraries and software
[11:28] <mishugana> DE?
[11:29] <hateball> mishugana: if you already have ubuntu installed you can just apt install lubuntu-desktop
[11:29] <hateball> and then pick lubuntu as your session on login
[11:29] <hateball> it's the same kernel etc in the base
[11:29] <hateball> mishugana: Desktop Environment
[11:29] <mishugana> so, is it indeed more lightweight than Ubuntu in terms of performance?
[11:29] <hateball> your... graphical desktop etc
[11:29] <mishugana> Ah, okay... thanks
[11:29] <mishugana> and also, is it possible to install it completely headless... I don't really need the UI
[11:30] <hateball> mishugana: sure, install ubuntu server or the minimal iso
[11:30] <mishugana> Hmmm... okay... and any idea if the it's leaner on resources than base Ubuntu?
[11:31] <hateball> Ubuntu server? Of course
[11:31] <hateball> there's no X installed at all by default
[11:32] <mishugana> excellent... and it has access to the same repositories, right?
[11:33] <hateball> mishugana: yes
[11:33] <mishugana> thanks, hateball
[11:33] <mishugana> that helps! :-)
