newtolinux22hello17:48
diogenes_hello17:49
newtolinux22i am curious about which distro would be better to run on my specs17:50
diogenes_mate is pretty lightweight so it will do good with both high and low specs17:50
newtolinux22I have an Intel Celeron N3060 and 4GB of ram, its pretty bad but its all i got17:51
newtolinux22should I use mate or lubuntu for my specs?17:54
coruxoholas17:54
newtolinux22hi17:54
diogenes_newtolinux22, what are you using now?17:54
newtolinux22celeron n3060 and 4gb of ram17:54
newtolinux22pretty low end17:55
diogenes_I mean what OS17:55
coruxoIǘe just intalled mate17:55
newtolinux22im using mate rn, but i have unity and windows10 on other partitions17:55
diogenes_so if you're running mate right now, are you satisfied with the way it works17:56
newtolinux22yea so far17:57
diogenes_if so, then no need to wonder which you should pick.17:57
newtolinux22lubuntu is pretty lightweight and good for my low spec hardware too17:58
benzmuircrofthow to disable touchpad clicking and scrolling #dangerous (expected behaviour is only to move the mouse)21:09
benzmuircroftI keep accidentally clicking and grabbing files and throwing then21:10
Akulii have disabled the whole touchpad in the past21:10
benzmuircroftthem21:10
benzmuircrofti need to be able to move the cursor21:11
benzmuircroftits dangerous cause i do sftp21:11
Akulirun this command:  synclient -l21:13
Akuliit doesn't actually do anything21:13
Akulijust shows you a list of stuff you can configure21:13
benzmuircrofti tried to edit /etc/X11/xorg.cof.d/50-synaptics.conf but had to rescue the machine with an ubuntu usb21:13
Akulilol synaptics settings are much easier to change21:13
Akulijust use synclient21:14
Akuliseems like "$ synclient TabButton1=0" disables tapping, but i can still use the mouse buttons and scroll21:15
benzmuircroftCouldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?21:15
benzmuircroftCouldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?21:15
benzmuircroftcould not find synclient properties. No synaptics driver loaded21:15
benzmuircroftlol21:15
benzmuircroftpaste is slow21:15
Akulidon't paste here, use e.g. dpaste.com21:15
Akulix must be running21:15
benzmuircroftok21:15
benzmuircroftsynclient TabButton1=0 seems logical but there is the problem also of the drivers and will it persist after reboot?21:17
Akuliit does not persist after reboot21:17
Akulihow did you run synclient when you got those errors?21:19
Akulisynclient -l gives me this http://termbin.com/tjf121:19
benzmuircroftso I tso i think (to make it persist) it should be added to the 50-synaptics.conf copy in etc/X11/xorg.conf.d but I don't know where to put it. I put a similar instruction at the end of the file earlier which cause my system to not boot so I had to go to recue and delete the file21:21
Akulii would just add the command to .profile or something21:22
benzmuircrofthttp://termbin.com/tjf1 interesting!21:23
benzmuircroftwell it is a new install but it errors saying that no synaptics driver is loaded and everything i have googled has not lead to the drivers. do you have a loaction where they are so i can install whats missing (I did apt-get fix broken something like that cant remember)21:25
benzmuircroftfix dist also21:26
benzmuircroftno change21:26
Akulii don't know, synclient just works for me21:26
Akulimaybe it works on 14.04 but not 16.whateveryouareusing for some reason?21:27
benzmuircrofthmm? ok lol ubuntu mate right?21:27
benzmuircrofti got the latest stable installed today21:27
benzmuircroftmaybe i found a new bug?21:27
benzmuircroftlet me check...21:28
