[05:00] hello, new to the Xu here [05:00] ask your question, jimmy_james [05:02] I know the Intel graphics drivers are already installed with Xubuntu, but was wondering where I could get a closed or third party driver? [05:02] jimmy_james, from the OEM in most cases [05:03] Was originally using Mint Linux, but because it kept freezing up on me I switched, got this laptop from my IT school, its very low end, so I'm not expecting much [05:04] firefox just seems a bit slow, i'm more that willing to switch browsers if necessary [05:04] i'll double check the Intel site [05:04] jimmy_james, close ffox and restart it in safe mode, i.e. no plugins acrtive [05:12] jimmy_james: hello, I've never used it, but you can try this if you want > https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/update-tool [05:13] but I really doubt there's a need to install that [05:18] could be something else I suppose, just seems like it takes abit longer to load the program and an empty page [05:20] disabling Ubuntu features seem to help a bit. Anyone know of a descent lightweight browser, other that Opera [05:20] !browser | jimmy_james [05:20] jimmy_james: Some of the Web Browsers in Ubuntu's repositories include: Firefox (XUL, Gecko), Rekonq (KDE, WebKit), Konqueror (KDE, KHTML/WebKit), Chromium (GTK+, WebKit), Epiphany(GTK+, WebKit), Arora (Qt/KDE, WebKit), Midori (GTK+, WebKit), w3m (terminal-based), links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !manpage), edbrowse (terminal-based). Along with many others. [05:21] i'll check them out, thanks for the support everyone === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon [06:25] I wondering what this means, lvmetad is not active yet; using direct activation during sysinit [06:26] i believe I updated the kernel, but am not sure [06:29] https://askubuntu.com/questions/767140/lvmetad-is-not-active-yet [06:38] checked it out, ran in terminal. lets see what we see, thank again [08:22] Where is this nice button for 'flat-icons'... you know the PANEL buttons for example to black and white [08:23] my monitor broke... then I removed my gpu because I thought it was broken... when got it back, could not change resolution and the panels were gone :) got em fixed but now my settings are also gone [08:24] so... anyone? :D [08:24] the damn... need a new display.. [08:24] *and damn [08:27] (I think some problems were due the updating process and some typo I made, but otherwise confusing that so many things got broken... [08:28] ok not changing the icons wtf... [08:28] :D [08:28] gotta boot, think and drink coffee [08:28] maybe the whole cpu is DEAD! :D === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon [16:34] Hello. Do you know if the latest thunderbird will be introduced in the official update channels ? [16:36] hi guys, just did an update, but then was informed that GRUB could not install...tried to go through the manual steps, but then was notified that failed to. Can anyone help me? I've been good with GRUB and if I shut down this system, I probably won't be able to boot back up. [16:40] this install is a bit old, it's on a VM but I can't let this thing go down because I have some important stuff on it. [17:19] hello [17:19] I started xubuntu live session with mem=2048M due to bad memory. Installed it. [17:20] Didn't leave live session yet. How to set mem=2048M on installed system? [17:20] I want to do it before actual installed system runs for first time. [17:30] https://askubuntu.com/questions/83109/kernel-mem-parameter [17:30] basically you can start temporarily with the parameter, then edit grub and update that [17:32] TheWild: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="mem=2048M" in /etc/default/grub file, then: sudo update-grub [17:32] thank you flocculant, genii [17:32] ( after adding it to the kernel line during first boot as flocculant mentions) [17:32] TheWild: like http://i.imgur.com/VNe0gZT.png [17:33] though sudo update-grub didn't work on live session. [17:33] I had to run actual system, update the grub and reboot. [17:33] yea [17:34] though you could have done that if you needed with chroot into === fliegenpilzmann` is now known as fliegenpilzmann2
