[07:55] <sorinello> Hello. Does anyone using Xubuntu on a 1080/FullHD screen ?
[07:55] <sorinello> on a laptop screen I mean
[08:00] <diogenes_> why?
[08:01] <sorinello> well on my laptop (14') screen, fullHD has really really small text
[08:03] <diogenes_> i guess with that small size and huge resolution, it's normal, you need 17+ inch screen
[08:04] <sorinello> so why do they put fullHD screens on 14 inch laptops
[08:04] <diogenes_> price
[08:04] <diogenes_> for 14, the better option would be maybe 1366X768
[08:06] <diogenes_> 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] <sorinello> but there must be a fix for this
[08:35] <moetunes> sorinello:  you can use a different resolution
[14:29] <ikatnik> 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.

[14:55] <diogenes_> ikatguy, what are the specs?
[14:57] <ikatguy> Hi Diogenes. 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] <diogenes_> ikatguy, run: sudo apt install inxi
[15:00] <ikatguy> Done. What now?
[15:01] <diogenes_> now run: inxi -Fxrc0
[15:01] <diogenes_> and copy/paste what you get in terminal, paste it to susepaste.org
[15:02] <diogenes_> and share the link here
[15:04] <ikatguy> It returned an error, "You are a Spammer". Do I need to create an account?
[15:05] <juliank> diogenes_: Recommending the suse pastebin in an *ubuntu channel?
[15:05]  * juliank uses https://paste.ubuntu.com/ for Ubuntu pastes
[15:05] <diogenes_> juliank, I live in a cave, and susepaste is the only site I know
[15:06] <diogenes_> ikatguy, use the recommended:  https://paste.ubuntu.com/
[15:06] <juliank> diogenes_: Lots of chameleons in your cave? ;)
[15:07] <diogenes_> juliank, chameleons, geekos, strange yaks and a lot more :)
[15:08] <ikatguy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/24996944/   try this!
[15:08] <ikatguy> (I prefer to be a skink)
[15:09] <ikatguy> diogenes, (obviously) included problem mentioned with install (Ignoring file)
[15:20] <diogenes_> 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] <diogenes_> 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] <diogenes_> achieve*
[15:22] <ikatguy> OK. Do I do a complete new installation? If so, where do I go for that install file(s)?
[15:23] <diogenes_> 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] <diogenes_> ikatguy, run: lsblk
[15:24] <diogenes_> and copy/paste to  https://paste.ubuntu.com
[15:24] <diogenes_> share the link here
[15:25] <ikatguy> 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] <diogenes_> ok waiting
[15:27] <ikatguy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/24997034/
[15:28] <diogenes_> 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] <ikatguy> 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] <diogenes_> ikatguy, here is where you get it: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/14.04/release/
[15:33] <ikatguy> 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] <diogenes_> ikatguy, you can ask anytime you want
[15:34] <diogenes_> I have no other occupation in my cave anyway
[15:39] <juliank> 2GB of RAM? Wow.
[15:39] <ikatguy> I resemble that remark!
[15:39] <juliank> My mother had 4 GB and that was not enough, now she has 6 GB which seems OK
[15:40] <diogenes_> 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] <juliank> I think that CPU is slower than a Atom N2830
[15:42] <juliank> ikatguy: Did you mean resent?
[15:42] <juliank> Or do you agree?
[15:42]  * juliank was confused for some short time
[15:45] <ikatguy> 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] <juliank> ikatguy: Ah, OK, thing was: I did not know that meaning of the word
[15:46] <juliank> Only the "similar to" meaning, so I was a bit confused
[15:47] <juliank> To be fair, that meaning is listed as rare and archaic in the dictionary
[15:47] <ikatguy> (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] <diogenes_> 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.
