[07:55] Hello. Does anyone using Xubuntu on a 1080/FullHD screen ? [07:55] on a laptop screen I mean [08:00] why? [08:01] well on my laptop (14') screen, fullHD has really really small text [08:03] i guess with that small size and huge resolution, it's normal, you need 17+ inch screen [08:04] so why do they put fullHD screens on 14 inch laptops [08:04] price [08:04] for 14, the better option would be maybe 1366X768 [08:06] it's good you didn't get 4K resolution with 14 inches then you wouldn't be able to see a damn thing on the screen XD [08:19] but there must be a fix for this [08:35] sorinello: you can use a different resolution [14:29] My system slows down horribly when I use Juno webmail through my firefox browser. I think it runs some sort of script. Is there a way to shut down the script? Should I use another browser? I use firefox because I am familiar with how to prevent ads and what it communicates to websites about me. Thank you.

You have helped me before. I am very new to linux. Where /how to get specs for you. I can use cmd line, but do not know any commands offhand. [14:58] ikatguy, run: sudo apt install inxi [15:00] Done. What now? [15:01] now run: inxi -Fxrc0 [15:01] and copy/paste what you get in terminal, paste it to susepaste.org [15:02] and share the link here [15:04] It returned an error, "You are a Spammer". Do I need to create an account? [15:05] diogenes_: Recommending the suse pastebin in an *ubuntu channel? [15:05] * juliank uses https://paste.ubuntu.com/ for Ubuntu pastes [15:05] juliank, I live in a cave, and susepaste is the only site I know [15:06] ikatguy, use the recommended: https://paste.ubuntu.com/ [15:06] diogenes_: Lots of chameleons in your cave? ;) [15:07] juliank, chameleons, geekos, strange yaks and a lot more :) [15:08] https://paste.ubuntu.com/24996944/ try this! [15:08] (I prefer to be a skink) [15:09] diogenes, (obviously) included problem mentioned with install (Ignoring file) [15:20] ikatguy, as I understand, you're using an AMD athlon 2008 release year with 1.9 GHz and memory @GB and ancient graphics card, using a 64 bit OS will do great achievements? [15:21] ikatguy, you should be using xubuntu 14.04, 32-bit with fglrx driver and then you might acviete a greater performance with your pc specs [15:21] achieve* [15:22] OK. Do I do a complete new installation? If so, where do I go for that install file(s)? [15:23] ikatguy, backup your data first, if you have a separate /home partition then you don't format it when you install the new system [15:24] ikatguy, run: lsblk [15:24] and copy/paste to https://paste.ubuntu.com [15:24] share the link here [15:25] Backup is no problem. I do not know about the partition. Believe it or not, I got the system from a local volunteer organization who reconditions computers. Doing the lsblk cmd now. [15:25] ok waiting [15:27] https://paste.ubuntu.com/24997034/ [15:28] you have no separate /home partition, so you have to backup all your data, then erase everything and install xubuntu 14.04 32-bit (which will be supported till April 2019) and you should be good to go [15:30] Great. Go where for the said 32 bit install (?), not to mention the fglrx driver (not sure about that). No problem backing up. [15:32] ikatguy, here is where you get it: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ [15:33] Great. I may need to take a break for a bit. Thanks muchly. And I will report (unless you do not want me to bother). [15:34] ikatguy, you can ask anytime you want [15:34] I have no other occupation in my cave anyway [15:39] 2GB of RAM? Wow. [15:39] I resemble that remark! [15:39] My mother had 4 GB and that was not enough, now she has 6 GB which seems OK [15:40] juliank, even if he had 32 GB of RAM, with that poor processor his PC is getting frozen if he opens more than one firefox tab [15:41] I think that CPU is slower than a Atom N2830 [15:42] ikatguy: Did you mean resent? [15:42] Or do you agree? [15:42] * juliank was confused for some short time [15:45] I decided to get a cheap laptop, and it suits my email needs fine. I also like the recycling aspect. And it was cheap. BTW, I MEANT resemble. [15:46] ikatguy: Ah, OK, thing was: I did not know that meaning of the word [15:46] Only the "similar to" meaning, so I was a bit confused [15:47] To be fair, that meaning is listed as rare and archaic in the dictionary [15:47] (Yes, I agree). Gotta ring off for saturday errands and the like. Thanks again for all your help. And I think you are very on the ball about the processor, because I do use tabs, and the thing gets hot. So the little I know says the processor ancien (and I MEAN ancien) is probably not up to the task. Gotta go, thanks again. [15:48] yes ikatguy you made a good decision if that is what you need it for, the only thing you need is the lighter OS release and architecture (that I suggested) and you good to go! when you install xubuntu 14.04 i386, then first step you take is do: 1) sudo apt-get update 2) sudo apt-get upgrade, after that you reboot, after reboot you try to figure out how to install the fglrx drivers, if you fail, come back here and we'll see.
