[00:53] yoo tsimonq2 wxl can I stop lock screen from stopping the music when computer is locked? [01:16] Tryin to install on a old HP pentium 4 with 2 gigs of ram it gets to a point and stops ? any sugestions [12:04] yo guys [12:04] what's Ubuntu Budgie? [12:07] https://www.osdisc.com/products/linux/lubuntu/lubuntu-1710-install-live-dvd-32bit.html [12:07] you guys get monies from this? [15:05] i just installed 17.10 in virtualbox, lubuntu does not recognize my password tho ... i did set password again by initing sh via grub, but when i reboot again it still doesnt recognize it [15:05] any suggestions on how to fix it? [15:34] do you click on lang symbols at the coner? [15:36] by default input lang english. this symbol to set system language after login [15:36] they not change input language [15:37] my password is typed the same way on an english keyboard as it is on my native keyboard [15:37] i deleted the image and went for a reinstall [15:46] seems to be working after reinstalling [16:18] how come lubuntu hasnt switched to the much superior LXQT desktop? [16:33] they're working hard on it [16:33] 18.04 will include lxqt [16:53] Right. [16:53] There's still some kinks we have to work out. [18:06] oh i see, excellent then [18:07] ye very exciting [18:07] i wonder if it will be a bit faster than lxde [18:07] 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 [18:08] qt5 is extremely fast [18:15] so you used 0.12 version? [18:16] i think so, it would be an up to date release [18:17] was it stable enough for day by day use? [18:17] TaZeR: Try going to Panel -> About LXQt and tell us ;) [18:17] I've personally been using LXQt for the past year if not more with little to no problems [18:17] im not on that computer right now [18:17] but its arch so it will be the newest one [18:17] tsimonq2, so you're just polishing things at this point? [18:18] im too newbie to handle arch [18:18] ibmr50e: Yep [18:18] i think you can get it on debian also [18:19] well there are experimental lubuntu images with lxqt already so imma try that [18:19] oh right [18:55] my volume control won't show [18:56] I had my laptop on battery and it died [18:56] I get harddrive error at boot [18:56] and I rebooted twice [19:09] nvm [19:10] I fixed it [20:05] hello I have msi m6700 laptop amd athlonx2 and 2 gb ram. do you recommend lubuntu? [20:05] or ubuntu? [20:16] yoot: Lubuntu ;) [20:17] Indeed Lubuntu. [20:19] why? [20:22] yoot: Lubuntu is designed for older hardware like that. [20:22] GNOME would not run well. [20:24] 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. [20:25] Right :) [20:26] (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] But yeah, any midweight desktop should work on that. [20:26] That too. [20:27] Mid weight = LXDE/LXQt, Xfce, MATE, Budgie, etc. I think Budgie at least? [20:28] Meh, I'd argue "no" for Budgie. [20:28] Ikey doesn't care about low resources. He has a nice machine. :P [20:28] And I'd also argue that MATE is borderline but kinda fits. [20:28] Mp. ot [20:28] It's a midweight system. [20:28] Oh. [20:28] I misread. :) [20:31] this is launched in 2007 msi m6700 laptop [20:40] yoot: How dependent are you of a graphical user interface? [20:43] I used ubuntu. I know the basic terminal commands but can't write script. [20:45] need a pc to code, watch and read [20:45] it must be fast I have only 2 gb ram [20:46] so lubuntu... [20:46] or any alternatives? [20:46] there are a good few guides to writing shell scripts [20:47] you nerds suggest him using no gui? [20:47] guys cmon [20:48] well you can use nano for an editor even in aterminal, the idea of using a script is to automate tasks [20:49] so you could write a script to update the system [20:49] for example [20:49] is this helpful http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html [20:49] No. I know this... [20:50] sudo su [20:50] apt-get update [20:50] but you can put sudo apt-get update [20:50] ok. so am I installing lubuntu? [20:51] I'd rather `sudo bleh...` or `sudo -i` [20:51] ok [20:51] my point is you can have a 1 line script called update adn it saves typing [20:51] i know you can do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [20:51] oh I understand I did that before [20:52] ok [20:52] one last question what is the difference between ubuntu and lubuntu [20:52] ooops sorry [20:52] graphical interface only [20:52] only gnome? [20:52] yes [20:52] gnome vs. lxde [20:52] lubuntu uses xfce [20:52] zleap, u drunk [20:52] oh thats simple [20:52] yeah sorry lxde [20:52] ye [20:53] also [20:53] default apps are different [20:53] but its not an issue [20:53] cause software center is the same and repositories too [20:53] it is on much older hardware [20:53] for instance? [20:53] as the bigger apps need more resources [20:53] but if you have a newer pc then both should run fine [20:53] libreoffice? [20:53] it doesnt matter yoot cause you can install your ubuntu software no problem [20:54] yeah [20:54] you can install everything yourself everything you had on ubuntu [20:54] no worries [20:54] apt-get libreoffice and u be fine bro [20:54] ok guys thank you so much it was very helpful I love irc [20:54] np [20:54] you're welcome [20:54] i have 1.5 gb ram now lubuntu [20:55] s/apt-get/apt/ ;) [22:20] so the current trend for some devs is moving from GTK to Qt? [23:53] tsimonq2, so these images have lxqt 0.12 included? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu-next/daily-live/pending/
