[12:04] <ibmr50e> yo guys
[12:04] <ibmr50e> what's Ubuntu Budgie?
[12:07] <ibmr50e> https://www.osdisc.com/products/linux/lubuntu/lubuntu-1710-install-live-dvd-32bit.html
[12:07] <ibmr50e> you guys get monies from this?
[15:05] <swim> 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] <swim> any suggestions on how to fix it?
[15:34] <JohnDoe7> do you click on lang symbols at the coner?
[15:36] <JohnDoe7> by default input lang english.  this symbol to set system language after login
[15:36] <JohnDoe7> they not change input language
[15:37] <swim> my password is typed the same way on an english keyboard as it is on my native keyboard
[15:37] <swim> i deleted the image and went for a reinstall
[15:46] <swim> seems to be working after reinstalling
[16:18] <TaZeR> how come lubuntu hasnt switched to the much superior LXQT desktop?
[16:33] <ibmr50e> they're working hard on it
[16:33] <ibmr50e> 18.04 will include lxqt
[16:53] <tsimonq2> Right.
[16:53] <tsimonq2> There's still some kinks we have to work out.
[18:06] <TaZeR> oh i see, excellent then
[18:07] <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
[18:08] <TaZeR> qt5 is extremely fast
[18:15] <ibmr50e> so you used 0.12 version?
[18:16] <TaZeR> i think so, it would be an up to date release
[18:17] <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?
[18:18] <ibmr50e> im too newbie to handle arch
[18:18] <tsimonq2> ibmr50e: Yep
[18:18] <TaZeR> i think you can get it on debian also
[18:19] <ibmr50e> well there are experimental lubuntu images with lxqt already so imma try that
[18:19] <TaZeR> oh right
[18:55] <LiftLeft> my volume control won't show
[18:56] <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
[19:09] <LiftLeft> nvm
[19:10] <LiftLeft> I fixed it
[20:05] <yoot> hello I have msi m6700 laptop amd athlonx2 and 2 gb ram. do you recommend lubuntu?
[20:05] <yoot> or ubuntu?
[20:16] <tsimonq2> yoot: Lubuntu ;)
[20:17] <martinmch> Indeed Lubuntu.
[20:19] <yoot> why?
[20:22] <tsimonq2> yoot: Lubuntu is designed for older hardware like that.
[20:22] <tsimonq2> GNOME would not run well.
[20:24] <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.
[20:25] <tsimonq2> Right :)
[20:26] <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.
[20:27] <Unit193> Mid weight = LXDE/LXQt, Xfce, MATE, Budgie, etc.  I think Budgie at least?
[20:28] <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. :)
[20:31] <yoot> this is launched in 2007 msi m6700 laptop
[20:40] <martinmch> yoot: How dependent are you of a graphical user interface?
[20:43] <yoot> I used ubuntu. I know the basic terminal commands but can't write script.
[20:45] <yoot> need a pc to code, watch and read
[20:45] <yoot> it must be fast I have only 2 gb ram
[20:46] <yoot> so lubuntu...
[20:46] <yoot> or any alternatives?
[20:46] <zleap> there are a good few guides to writing shell scripts
[20:47] <ibmr50e> you nerds suggest him using no gui?
[20:47] <ibmr50e> guys cmon
[20:48] <zleap> well you can use nano for an editor even in aterminal,  the idea of using a script is to automate tasks
[20:49] <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...
[20:50] <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?
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <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
[20:53] <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
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <tsimonq2> s/apt-get/apt/ ;)
[22:20] <ibmr50e> so the current trend for some devs is moving from GTK to Qt?
[23:53] <ibmr50e> tsimonq2, so these images have lxqt 0.12 included? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu-next/daily-live/pending/
