[04:06] <jdwwatts> hello world
[04:07] <jdwwatts> no real folks here                 /
[04:12] <pragomer> when I lock screen in other DE's like KDE or Gnome the my user is preselected and I only have to input password when I want to re-login. In xfce I always have to input again both: username and pw. can I reproduce the easier behavior somehow?
[04:12] <nur0n> hey guys, is xubuntu 16.04 based on ubuntu 16.04, and if so, does that means it supports zfs?
[04:28] <pragomer> what advantages would I have using xubuntu 17.04 and later 17.10 to using the lts version, exept: kernel and newer programs? are there any significant features?
[04:41] <jdwwatts> so I need to Log in each Time ?
[07:53] <knome> pragomer, yes, they are essentially the same system
[07:53] <knome> pragomer, with a different DE, some application choices and configuration - so zfs should work
[07:54] <knome> pragomer, and for the regular release vs LTS; the LTS's are recommended for most stability, so if you need that, then stick with the LTSs
[07:54] <knome> pragomer, regular releases give you new software versions and sometimes they can fix bug that are annoying to you
[07:54] <pragomer> ok, I think then its gonna be lts. thank you very much knome
[07:54] <knome> no problem
[07:55] <knome> you can actually upgrade from any version to newest today, the release paths have changed...
[07:55] <knome> (not that i can recommend it at this point, but it's possible - and i just did one upgrade from 16.04 to 17.04)
[07:55] <pragomer> ok, but I also would always do a fresh installation ;-)
[07:55] <knome> sure, whatever works for you :)
[07:56] <knome> i upgraded my last system for 5 years without fresh installations via every regular release ;)
[07:56] <pragomer> ok. perhaps worth give the updating tool a try ;-) next time
[07:57] <knome> the benefit for me personally on upgrading is that i don't have to go through the configuration setup again
[07:57] <knome> if you have light customization then a fresh install is likely better and faster
[15:24] <craigbass76> What are the recommended specs, ballpark, for running Xubuntu? I've got 6 gigs of RAM, AMD Athelon 3800 -- oh, wait, it's only a 1ghz... Not good, eh? Chromium brings this puppy to its knees just firing up with a clean profile.
[15:26] <diogenes_> craigbass76, run inxi -Fxrc0, copy the output to some pastebin and share the link here\

[15:36] <diogenes_> craigbass76, your CPU release date is June 1, 2004
[15:36] <diogenes_> I'd recommend you to use 32bit version of xubuntu
[15:36] <diogenes_> and even 14.04
[15:45] <craigbass76> Really... Well, hadn't thought of that...
[15:51] <flocculant> craigbass76: you 'might' find using 32 bit helps, not sure. But 14.
[15:51] <flocculant> 14.04 is end of life for Xubuntu - has been since April
[15:57] <Rumbledethumps> I'm running 16.04.2. Unfortunately, I didn't leave the keyring password blank during installation. How can I disable the annoying "Default Keyring" prompt. I've looked for an answer that applied to Xubuntu with no luck. Thanks!
[16:01] <craigbass76> That's funny that the date is 2004; my father in law got this PC new in like 2012 I think.
