simaI sometimes can't open thunar after login (17.10)12:27
simabut after some waiting time, it opens multiple windows that I used to request while waiting12:28
simanow it happens again, I click File manager and nothing happens12:28
simaand it opened from terminal and now opens from menu12:29
simadon't know how to change place of audio level displaying overlay, becaus eit coincides with actual volume control in the panel and I cna't see volume control because of that black overlay.12:41
HexachordI have some issues with my xubuntu system's package management and this system is too weak to run firefox without crash, can somebody provide me a method of getting a lighter browser up so I can hit the web with my issues?12:50
simahow much RAM do you actually have?12:53
Hexachordsima: Around 250m.12:59
simaHexachord, maybe using Seamonkey (iceape under Debian) or Midori?13:00
simaText-based browsers are lynx and links13:00
simahttps://alternativeto.net/software/firefox/?license=opensource&platform=linux13:02
Hexachordsima: Yeah thanks, the issue is with the package manager. How can I get lynx or some other without it? I can't hop online and grab the sources and all of the dependencies due to the inability to run a browser.13:03
simayou can download .deb file and use sudo dpkg -i , directly on it13:05
Hexachordand how?13:05
simapackages.ubuntu com says it is lynx, lynx-common and lynx-cur13:07
simayou can try instlaling aptitude maybe ?13:07
simaso installing lynx with 'sudo apt-get install lynx' does not work?13:07
HexachordNot at all.13:08
simauname -a says you are using 32-bit?13:08
Hexachordcorrect.13:08
simawhat does it say, not enough RAM to install?13:08
simacan you pastebin output it or not?13:09
HexachordE: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).13:10
Hexachordof running of apt-get -f install.13:10
simayes try it13:10
HexachordI get an error also.13:11
HexachordErrors were encountered while processing:13:11
Hexachord /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.13.0-37-generic_4.13.0-37.42~16.04.1_i386.deb13:11
simasudo apt-get update ?13:11
simado you target archive.ubuntu.com or some mirror?13:12
HexachordI don't know, how do I check?13:13
simawith sudo apt-get update or sudo apt update13:13
simait is set in /etc/apt/sources.list13:14
Hexachord http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/13:14
simaI have one 512MB machine with 16.04 32bit, but I needed to use ubuntu minimal image to install and i don;t use X graphics on it13:15
simaus us US mirror. if targeting archive.ubuntu.com it is located on some island between europe and UK but usually you get better results then with mirrors, that might be out of sync sometimes (at least some years ago it were the case)13:16
HexachordHow do I change the mirror?13:17
simayou can just edit that file with 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list' and change every line where us.archive.ubuntu.com is to archive.ubuntu.com to avoid using mirror.13:18
simaAlso you can try logging out and using text console (Ctrl+Alt+F2 , F3 ) and kill X session to frees some RAM for installing operations13:19
simaI think that sudo pkill lightdm might do it after logging out13:20
simaafter update, sudo reboot.13:20
simasomeone said, systemctl disable lightdm.service to stop loading X session on load, by default  or with systemctl disable display-manager13:22
simaI also like 'aptitude' command more then apt and so13:33
