[11:06] <chen_> Hello
[17:48] <newtolinux22> hello
[17:49] <diogenes_> hello
[17:50] <newtolinux22> i am curious about which distro would be better to run on my specs
[17:50] <diogenes_> mate is pretty lightweight so it will do good with both high and low specs
[17:51] <newtolinux22> I have an Intel Celeron N3060 and 4GB of ram, its pretty bad but its all i got
[17:54] <newtolinux22> should I use mate or lubuntu for my specs?
[17:54] <coruxo> holas
[17:54] <newtolinux22> hi
[17:54] <diogenes_> newtolinux22, what are you using now?
[17:54] <newtolinux22> celeron n3060 and 4gb of ram
[17:55] <newtolinux22> pretty low end
[17:55] <diogenes_> I mean what OS
[17:55] <coruxo> Iǘe just intalled mate
[17:55] <newtolinux22> im using mate rn, but i have unity and windows10 on other partitions
[17:56] <diogenes_> so if you're running mate right now, are you satisfied with the way it works
[17:57] <newtolinux22> yea so far
[17:57] <diogenes_> if so, then no need to wonder which you should pick.
[17:58] <newtolinux22> lubuntu is pretty lightweight and good for my low spec hardware too
[21:09] <benzmuircroft> how to disable touchpad clicking and scrolling #dangerous (expected behaviour is only to move the mouse)
[21:10] <benzmuircroft> I keep accidentally clicking and grabbing files and throwing then
[21:10] <Akuli> i have disabled the whole touchpad in the past
[21:10] <benzmuircroft> them
[21:11] <benzmuircroft> i need to be able to move the cursor
[21:11] <benzmuircroft> its dangerous cause i do sftp
[21:13] <Akuli> run this command:  synclient -l
[21:13] <Akuli> it doesn't actually do anything
[21:13] <Akuli> just shows you a list of stuff you can configure
[21:13] <benzmuircroft> i tried to edit /etc/X11/xorg.cof.d/50-synaptics.conf but had to rescue the machine with an ubuntu usb
[21:13] <Akuli> lol synaptics settings are much easier to change
[21:14] <Akuli> just use synclient
[21:15] <Akuli> seems like "$ synclient TabButton1=0" disables tapping, but i can still use the mouse buttons and scroll
[21:15] <benzmuircroft> Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
[21:15] <benzmuircroft> Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
[21:15] <benzmuircroft> could not find synclient properties. No synaptics driver loaded
[21:15] <benzmuircroft> lol
[21:15] <benzmuircroft> paste is slow
[21:15] <Akuli> don't paste here, use e.g. dpaste.com
[21:15] <Akuli> x must be running
[21:15] <benzmuircroft> ok
[21:17] <benzmuircroft> synclient TabButton1=0 seems logical but there is the problem also of the drivers and will it persist after reboot?
[21:17] <Akuli> it does not persist after reboot
[21:19] <Akuli> how did you run synclient when you got those errors?
[21:19] <Akuli> synclient -l gives me this http://termbin.com/tjf1
[21:21] <benzmuircroft> so 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 file
[21:22] <Akuli> i would just add the command to .profile or something
[21:23] <benzmuircroft> http://termbin.com/tjf1 interesting!
[21:25] <benzmuircroft> well 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)
[21:26] <benzmuircroft> fix dist also
[21:26] <benzmuircroft> no change
[21:26] <Akuli> i don't know, synclient just works for me
[21:27] <Akuli> maybe it works on 14.04 but not 16.whateveryouareusing for some reason?
[21:27] <benzmuircroft> hmm? ok lol ubuntu mate right?
[21:27] <benzmuircroft> i got the latest stable installed today
[21:27] <benzmuircroft> maybe i found a new bug?
[21:28] <benzmuircroft> let me check...
[21:28] <benzmuircroft> MATE Desktop Environment 1.12.1
[21:29] <Akuli> that's a mate version, not an ubuntu version
[21:29] <Akuli> anyway, i need to go
[21:30] <benzmuircroft> https://thepasteb.in/p/Q1hBPvom39DI8
[21:30] <benzmuircroft> ok thanks for ur help
[21:31] <Akuli> my synclient comes from a package called xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[21:31] <benzmuircroft> problem not fixed (maybe a bug!) #SeeThePasteBin
[21:31] <Akuli> weird
[21:31] <Akuli> anyway i'll go nw
[21:31] <Akuli> now
[21:31] <benzmuircroft> safe dude
