| diddledan | I'm looking through the irclogs.ubuntu.com - there appears to be some nicknames with spaces in them - that confuses me | 13:40 |
| diddledan | e.g.: === [cro] smiley [n=smiley@83-131-87-119.adsl.net.t-com.hr] has joined #ubuntu | 13:41 |
| diddledan | I'm thinking there's a character conversion issue there | 13:41 |
| diddledan | another one: === [A] ndy80 [n=wettreyw@host22-140.pool8251.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu | 13:45 |
| diddledan | ok, it seems whatever is saved the logs inserted a space after and ] character | 13:53 |
| diddledan | any* | 13:53 |
| diddledan | https://media1.tenor.com/images/a880b69001653a212fb30870b5f1fadb/tenor.gif | 14:50 |
| diddledan | daftykins: which mobo did you get for your intel 6700? | 15:12 |
| diddledan | daftykins: worth checking for a BIOS update, in any case: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025619/software.html | 15:13 |
| foobarry | any recommendations for books or resources to teach my 7yr old to program? | 15:17 |
| brobostigon | something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-hobbyists-students-teachers-programmable/dp/1537331019/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1513006011&sr=1-1&keywords=microbit | 15:27 |
| daftykins | diddledan: yeah i kept checking mine for the microcode fix for that rare but relevant hyperthreading bug, i've got Asus' "Z170 Pro Gaming" (daft names) but i've only seen last months | 16:54 |
| daftykins | https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/Z170-PRO-GAMING/HelpDesk_BIOS/ | 16:54 |
| daftykins | diddledan: i think it's just the beginning though really, we'll see tonnes more of these into the new year :) | 16:58 |
| ali1234 | i got the Z170-A | 18:07 |
| ali1234 | i don't think ME works if you have a Z170 chipset | 18:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | windows me... there's a name i haven't heard in a long time.../star wars :-) | 18:08 |
| daftykins | ali1234: sure it does | 18:12 |
| laptop212321321 | what is lighter than lubuntu and what is better for a slow computer 16.04 or 16.10 | 20:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | tiny core linux, puppy linux, raspian x86 are some i've heard bandied about... have downloaded raspian x86 but haven't tried it yet | 20:01 |
| laptop212321321 | that cna be installed on an hd and have similar features to lubuntu | 20:02 |
| laptop212321321 | I tried puppy it is okay | 20:02 |
| laptop212321321 | and works fast. | 20:02 |
| laptop212321321 | I am wondering if lubuntu is faster than debian testing | 20:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | lubuntu is as light as it gets i suspect if you want most of ubuntu | 20:03 |
| laptop212321321 | I like lubuntu but is one version lighter than the other | 20:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | ubuntu > xubuntu > lubuntu in terms of cpu and ram usage aiui | 20:05 |
| daftykins | what are the system specs? | 20:06 |
| laptop212321321 | core2duo 2.1 2 gb ram | 20:06 |
| daftykins | and what do you mainly use this system for? | 20:06 |
| laptop212321321 | browsing | 20:06 |
| laptop212321321 | but I open like 6 pages in chrome and it is done | 20:06 |
| daftykins | that's not enough RAM for anything like youtube then | 20:06 |
| laptop212321321 | I am wondering if debian testing or a debian distribution is faster and lighter | 20:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | well that's more chrome.... | 20:06 |
| laptop212321321 | I use chromium and firefox | 20:07 |
| daftykins | honestly you can get a much higher spec system for £150 or under now, it's more cost effective to abandon that one | 20:07 |
| daftykins | software won't fix that being a dinosaur | 20:07 |
| laptop212321321 | that is true | 20:07 |
| laptop212321321 | I have an i5 laptop but it is using windows 10 | 20:07 |
| * zmoylan-pi hits daftykins with my velociraptor netbook.... :-) | 20:07 | |
| daftykins | * youtube brings said netbook to its' knees | 20:07 |
| laptop212321321 | has anyone tried manjaro | 20:29 |
| Maefs | yes | 20:30 |
| laptop212321321 | is it better than lubuntu | 20:31 |
| laptop212321321 | by better I mean faster | 20:31 |
| daftykins | laptop212321321: it doesn't matter what you pick, there's not enough RAM on that machine to stand up to modern tasks - more than likely the graphics hardware is holding it back too | 20:31 |
| daftykins | please, take it from experience, you can't polish a turd into doing modern things :) | 20:31 |
| laptop212321321 | I agree, you are right, but this is not about performance | 20:31 |
| laptop212321321 | this is now about features, I was going to install it on my i5 laptop | 20:32 |
| Maefs | i liked it | 20:32 |
| laptop212321321 | I agree, with modern day operating tasks | 20:32 |
| laptop212321321 | you need a faster machine, no question | 20:32 |
| daftykins | ah ok | 20:32 |
| daftykins | well you don't need to go as low as lubuntu for an i5 | 20:32 |
| laptop212321321 | you are right, but I do a lot of multitasking | 20:33 |
| daftykins | how much RAM does the i5 machine have then? | 20:33 |
| laptop212321321 | even with 8 gb | 20:33 |
| laptop212321321 | of ram it does not seem like enough | 20:33 |
| daftykins | perhaps you're trying to leave 100 tabs open in a greedy browser such as chrome :) | 20:33 |
| laptop212321321 | that is it! | 20:33 |
| daftykins | do you have an SSD in there? | 20:33 |
| laptop212321321 | no | 20:34 |
| daftykins | then that's a worthy upgrade | 20:34 |
| daftykins | even web browsing will speed up with an SSD | 20:34 |
| laptop212321321 | One last question what is the difference between debian testing and lubuntu in terms of software availablity and performance | 20:34 |
| laptop212321321 | really | 20:34 |
| laptop212321321 | okay will try it | 20:34 |
| laptop212321321 | a solid state drive? | 20:34 |
| daftykins | yes | 20:34 |
| daftykins | e.g. Samsung 850 EVO / 850 Pro | 20:35 |
