[05:09] what`s this [05:14] A cliché. === sorinello__ is now known as sorinello_ [08:11] I had a question for you guys. I just installed xubuntu with an uefi install. On boot how every I only get pure blue and yellow screens on my monitors. === Raghuram is now known as raghuram === raghuram is now known as RaghuramE [13:23] Hi could you help me ..how can i play windows games on my computer (Xubuntu) [13:24] xubuntu11i, via playonlinux [13:25] diogenes ..okay . i should download wine also ?!! [13:26] xubuntu11i, playonlinux downloads it automatically and besides there you can choose many wine versions and open a specific game with a specific wine version [13:27] diogenes ..okay thanks a lot [13:27] yw [13:31] ^_^ sorry but the last Q ..i want to know if there is infringement of windows'rights if i use the virtual box [13:33] xubuntu11i, `about virtualbox you can ask in: /j #vbox [13:35] diogenes .sorry i didn't understand [14:48] Hello, I just installed Xubuntu. Is it possible to go to the desktop when I do alt+tab? [14:49] You can change the shortcut in the 'Window settings' (or something like that) settings page [14:49] not sure whether you can make the desktop appear in the Alt+Tab list like it does in some versions of Windows though. [14:50] Andrio: Ahh yes I mean like in Ubuntu with Unity you can see the desktop too [14:50] mm [14:53] I have question about the swap file [14:54] I have 24G of RAM and 2G of the swap file [14:55] now I have: free -h [14:55] total used free shared buff/cache available [14:55] Mem: 23G 3,2G 698M 152M 19G 19G [14:55] Swap: 2,0G 1,6M 2,0G [15:13] anybody know why I need the swap file? [15:23] xtuber: Well, only you can know if you need a swap file [15:24] juliank, I mean why system uses swap if it have 24G ram? [15:24] http://blog.surgut.co.uk/2016/12/swapfiles-by-default-in-ubuntu.html [15:24] xtuber: Why not? You have 24GB of RAM, I'm sure you also have enough storage to spend 2GB on a swap file [15:26] Gotta pick some defaults, and 2GB swap file seems reasonable [15:27] yes I have 1Tb hard disk, but I thought swap need then ram is not enough [15:28] Well, if you use 24 GB of RAM, you need it. If you don't, you might have bought too much RAM :) [15:28] There's more logic in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2016-November/039538.html [15:29] Imagine a workstation running 3 VMs with 6GB of RAM each - you definitely want swap at that point. [15:29] And a swap file is a good default, better than a swap partitition. If you don't need it, you can easily remove it [15:32] * juliank runs without swap. Always found swap to be counter-productive because it was mostly swapping when memory leaking, and then ended up OOM killing anyway, just with a delay of 10 minutes or so [15:32] On the other hand, without snap it sometimes seems to lock up completely when running out of memory, so not sure which is better. [15:33] Summary: Won't probably make much difference if you use it or not [15:34] now I uses only 3.5G/23.4G Ram. why my system need the swap file too? [15:35] xtuber: Why do you have 24 GB of RAM? [15:35] Once you can answer that question, you can consider if you need a swap file or not [15:35] Well, need is a strong word, more like want [15:36] xtuber: Or do you mean: Why did it swap something? [15:36] As I just saw that it swapped 1.6 MB of memory [15:37] But as you might have noticed, your RAM is mostly used now for caching; so only 700 MB are free, so the kernel swaps out some long unused memory to make more space for caching [15:37] I thought I need not a swap file then I set up 24G of ram. But then I installed my xubuntu the system itself set up the swap file [15:37] It *always* sets up a swap file [15:38] Even if you had 1 TB of RAM, it would still setup a 2GB swap file. [15:38] Because it might make sense for your work load, and it's easy to remove. [15:39] I tried explaining that three times now, and the blog post and email also explain the reasoning behind this fairly well. [15:41] juliank, thanks you for your patience [15:42] xtuber: I'm still curious why you have 24 GB of RAM, do you plan to run tons of VMs on it or something? [15:42] :) [15:43] I just upgraded my laptop from 8GB to 16GB because I had trouble when running Android Studio with emulator and chrome with some tabs at the same time. [15:44] But even 12 GB would have been enough, so I wonder what people do with so much (relatively speaking) memory :) [15:44] I set up it for don't look at htop every time then I had open many tabs in my firefox for example [15:44] Ah, you keep thousands of tabs open? [15:45] Like my friend who has 500 tabs or so open, and firefox eats 1.2 GB of RAM and 25% CPU constantly [15:46] no. I has open about 25 tabs. and it uses about 5G of ram [15:48] I had 8G of ram and my lubuntu 17.04 had slowed down. and I had bought 16G [19:34] / [21:07] Hello [21:08] When I use sublime text on xubuntu and type " I get ¨ [21:09] Does somebody knows how to fix it? I already Googled my @ss off but no luck [22:21] A question about OpenVPN. Current release is 2.4.3 and old stable is 2.3.17. In Xubuntu I find 2.3.10. Can I add a repository to either move to 2.3.17 or 2.4.3? [22:21] Thanks in advance! [22:50] zincing: Not an answer to your question, but you may want to keep an eye on https://bugs.debian.org/865555 [22:50] Debian bug 865555 in wnpp "RFA: openvpn -- virtual private network daemon" [Normal,Open] [22:51] Unit193: Thanks a zillion. I duckduckgo'ed and finally found https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos [22:52] I'm now running OpenVPN 2.4.3 :) === TheRedQueen is now known as Drone`
