[17:08] <Thedarkb> do you reckon Lubuntu will be reasonably usable with 256mb RAM and a Pentium M?
[17:08] <Thedarkb> I'm using TinyCore at the moment but the UI is a little shit.
[17:10] <Thedarkb> If you think Lubuntu won't run well, I'll just switch to FVWM.
[18:59] <small-data> Greetings. New to Lubuntu but not to Linux. I'm not getting along well with the Lubuntu Software Center. I search for packages that I know are there (can install from command line) and it doesn't find them. Could it be something I'm doing/not doing?
[19:00] <wxl> we sitll have lubuntu software center on a release version? i don't think we should. it's broken.
[19:01] <small-data> wxl: 16.04.3
[19:01] <wxl> well tl;dr don't use it
[19:02] <small-data> wxl: TYVM ;-) Glad to know it's not me!
[19:02] <small-data> wxl: Is there an alternate GUI tool, or is it best to just stick to apt on the command line?
[19:03] <wxl> well my opinion is that apt is your best bet but synaptic and gnome software are both options
[19:04] <small-data> Right I did see Synaptic Package Manager. Thanks again
[19:07] <small-data> Looks like there's a new application, just called "Software" in 17.10. Is that any better? I seemed to have similar issues with that, but it's on an older machine. Performance seemed pretty bad too...
[19:14] <wxl> small-data: i'm pretty sure that's gnome software
[19:16] <small-data> wxl: sure enough, looks like it.
[19:23] <small-data> I do have an issue with it finding packages though.
