| TaZeR | how come lubuntu hasnt switched to the much superior LXQT desktop? | 16:18 |
| ibmr50e | they're working hard on it | 16:33 |
| ibmr50e | 18.04 will include lxqt | 16:33 |
| tsimonq2 | Right. | 16:53 |
| tsimonq2 | There's still some kinks we have to work out. | 16:53 |
| TaZeR | oh i see, excellent then | 18:06 |
| ibmr50e | ye very exciting | 18:07 |
| ibmr50e | i wonder if it will be a bit faster than lxde | 18:07 |
| TaZeR | deffinitly, i had switched a while ago on an arch system from lxde to lxqt on a very slow system and the difference was phenomenal | 18:07 |
| TaZeR | qt5 is extremely fast | 18:08 |
| ibmr50e | so you used 0.12 version? | 18:15 |
| TaZeR | i think so, it would be an up to date release | 18:16 |
| ibmr50e | was it stable enough for day by day use? | 18:17 |
| tsimonq2 | TaZeR: Try going to Panel -> About LXQt and tell us ;) | 18:17 |
| tsimonq2 | I've personally been using LXQt for the past year if not more with little to no problems | 18:17 |
| TaZeR | im not on that computer right now | 18:17 |
| TaZeR | but its arch so it will be the newest one | 18:17 |
| ibmr50e | tsimonq2, so you're just polishing things at this point? | 18:17 |
| ibmr50e | im too newbie to handle arch | 18:18 |
| tsimonq2 | ibmr50e: Yep | 18:18 |
| TaZeR | i think you can get it on debian also | 18:18 |
| ibmr50e | well there are experimental lubuntu images with lxqt already so imma try that | 18:19 |
| TaZeR | oh right | 18:19 |
| LiftLeft | my volume control won't show | 18:55 |
| LiftLeft | I had my laptop on battery and it died | 18:56 |
| LiftLeft | I get harddrive error at boot | 18:56 |
| LiftLeft | and I rebooted twice | 18:56 |
| LiftLeft | nvm | 19:09 |
| LiftLeft | I fixed it | 19:10 |
| yoot | hello I have msi m6700 laptop amd athlonx2 and 2 gb ram. do you recommend lubuntu? | 20:05 |
| yoot | or ubuntu? | 20:05 |
| tsimonq2 | yoot: Lubuntu ;) | 20:16 |
| martinmch | Indeed Lubuntu. | 20:17 |
| yoot | why? | 20:19 |
| tsimonq2 | yoot: Lubuntu is designed for older hardware like that. | 20:22 |
| tsimonq2 | GNOME would not run well. | 20:22 |
| yoot | Oh I understand. I bought this laptop for 30 dollars. It has Windows 7 :) Working like a turtle. I have to get rid of this. | 20:24 |
| tsimonq2 | Right :) | 20:25 |
| Unit193 | (Technically, it might actually help it run faster if you were to re-install Windows. It has this weird thing where after a few years it gets slow and just needs a re-install.) | 20:26 |
| Unit193 | But yeah, any midweight desktop should work on that. | 20:26 |
| tsimonq2 | That too. | 20:26 |
| Unit193 | Mid weight = LXDE/LXQt, Xfce, MATE, Budgie, etc. I think Budgie at least? | 20:27 |
| tsimonq2 | Meh, I'd argue "no" for Budgie. | 20:28 |
| tsimonq2 | Ikey doesn't care about low resources. He has a nice machine. :P | 20:28 |
| tsimonq2 | And I'd also argue that MATE is borderline but kinda fits. | 20:28 |
| Unit193 | Mp. ot | 20:28 |
| Unit193 | It's a midweight system. | 20:28 |
| tsimonq2 | Oh. | 20:28 |
| tsimonq2 | I misread. :) | 20:28 |
| yoot | this is launched in 2007 msi m6700 laptop | 20:31 |
| martinmch | yoot: How dependent are you of a graphical user interface? | 20:40 |
| yoot | I used ubuntu. I know the basic terminal commands but can't write script. | 20:43 |
| yoot | need a pc to code, watch and read | 20:45 |
| yoot | it must be fast I have only 2 gb ram | 20:45 |
| yoot | so lubuntu... | 20:46 |
| yoot | or any alternatives? | 20:46 |
| zleap | there are a good few guides to writing shell scripts | 20:46 |
| ibmr50e | you nerds suggest him using no gui? | 20:47 |
| ibmr50e | guys cmon | 20:47 |
| zleap | well you can use nano for an editor even in aterminal, the idea of using a script is to automate tasks | 20:48 |
| zleap | so you could write a script to update the system | 20:49 |
| zleap | for example | 20:49 |
| zleap | is this helpful http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html | 20:49 |
| yoot | No. I know this... | 20:49 |
| yoot | sudo su | 20:50 |
| yoot | apt-get update | 20:50 |
| zleap | but you can put sudo apt-get update | 20:50 |
| yoot | ok. so am I installing lubuntu? | 20:50 |
| Unit193 | I'd rather `sudo bleh...` or `sudo -i` | 20:51 |
| zleap | ok | 20:51 |
| zleap | my point is you can have a 1 line script called update adn it saves typing | 20:51 |
| zleap | i know you can do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 20:51 |
| yoot | oh I understand I did that before | 20:51 |
| zleap | ok | 20:52 |
| yoot | one last question what is the difference between ubuntu and lubuntu | 20:52 |
| zleap | ooops sorry | 20:52 |
| ibmr50e | graphical interface only | 20:52 |
| yoot | only gnome? | 20:52 |
| ibmr50e | yes | 20:52 |
| ibmr50e | gnome vs. lxde | 20:52 |
| zleap | lubuntu uses xfce | 20:52 |
| ibmr50e | zleap, u drunk | 20:52 |
| yoot | oh thats simple | 20:52 |
| zleap | yeah sorry lxde | 20:52 |
| ibmr50e | ye | 20:52 |
| ibmr50e | also | 20:53 |
| ibmr50e | default apps are different | 20:53 |
| ibmr50e | but its not an issue | 20:53 |
| ibmr50e | cause software center is the same and repositories too | 20:53 |
| zleap | it is on much older hardware | 20:53 |
| yoot | for instance? | 20:53 |
| zleap | as the bigger apps need more resources | 20:53 |
| zleap | but if you have a newer pc then both should run fine | 20:53 |
| yoot | libreoffice? | 20:53 |
| ibmr50e | it doesnt matter yoot cause you can install your ubuntu software no problem | 20:53 |
| zleap | yeah | 20:54 |
| ibmr50e | you can install everything yourself everything you had on ubuntu | 20:54 |
| ibmr50e | no worries | 20:54 |
| ibmr50e | apt-get libreoffice and u be fine bro | 20:54 |
| yoot | ok guys thank you so much it was very helpful I love irc | 20:54 |
| zleap | np | 20:54 |
| zleap | you're welcome | 20:54 |
| ibmr50e | i have 1.5 gb ram now lubuntu | 20:54 |
| tsimonq2 | s/apt-get/apt/ ;) | 20:55 |
| ibmr50e | so the current trend for some devs is moving from GTK to Qt? | 22:20 |
| ibmr50e | tsimonq2, so these images have lxqt 0.12 included? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu-next/daily-live/pending/ | 23:53 |
