| notmacbook | new to linux, generally happy with my results. The biggest issue coming from extensive mac and win use is crashing programs means crashing computer. Macs&Winss have pretty much grown out of this problem. Am I doing something wrong and missing a way to solve this? Installed on macbook 2,1 2ghz | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| tsimonq2 | notmacbook: Which programs? | 00:13 |
| notmacbook | going from memory, almost all of them come from streaming video of some kind. I may have forgotten other sources, but that is the bulk. | 00:16 |
| notmacbook | YT in ff, amazon video in chrome | 00:17 |
| wxl | notmacbook: probably not enough memory | 00:18 |
| wxl | these days browsers are resource hogs, no matter what operating system you're on | 00:18 |
| notmacbook | yea this system has 1.5 gig | 00:20 |
| wxl | that's fairly limited | 00:20 |
| notmacbook | but is there no way to make sure that the video only crashes the browser and I don't have to restart the whole system | 00:20 |
| wxl | lubuntu CAN run on 256MB, but not really with streaming video on a full-featured browser XD | 00:21 |
| wxl | there's no reason it should freeze the whole system | 00:21 |
| wxl | what makes you think you need to restart the whole system? | 00:21 |
| notmacbook | the system stops responding to all input | 00:22 |
| notmacbook | mouse, keyboard | 00:22 |
| wxl | how long have you waited for it? | 00:23 |
| notmacbook | a couple of minutes | 00:24 |
| notmacbook | rebooting is sometimes faster since i put a ssd in | 00:25 |
| wxl | it would probably recover over time | 00:25 |
| wxl | it might be better to just be aware you WILL have these issues and to make sure you're not using anything else when you're using such services | 00:25 |
| notmacbook | ill try waiting for a longer period | 00:25 |
| wxl | !info youtube-dl | 00:25 |
| ubottu | youtube-dl (source: youtube-dl): downloader of videos from YouTube and other sites. In component universe, is extra. Version 2017.09.24-0.1 (artful), package size 881 kB, installed size 4954 kB | 00:25 |
| wxl | ^^^ you might try using that, too | 00:25 |
| wxl | the problem is not necessarily the playing of video, but the mechanisms to render that on a website | 00:26 |
| notmacbook | it is great...smtube also has been more reliabe | 00:26 |
| notmacbook | *reliable | 00:26 |
| wxl | i'm not sure what to tell you about amazon, as i don't really use it | 00:26 |
| wxl | i'm sure there's SOMETHING out there | 00:26 |
| wxl | meanwhile, memory's cheap. i'm sure your system could handle a little bit more and it's probably old enough you could find an electronics recycler you could get some from for cheap | 00:27 |
| notmacbook | True, I was just about to look at what the max is for this machine. will linux surpass that or will it be the same as osx | 00:28 |
| wxl | linux will allow you to use the maximum your motherboard will allow | 00:29 |
| parhelia | maximum memory limit is hardware, not software | 00:30 |
| wxl | ^^ that | 00:30 |
| wxl | `sudo dmidecode -q -t memory | grep -A 3 'System Memory'` should give you some useful information, specifically how many slots you have and the total capacity the motherboard can handle | 00:32 |
| wxl | if you don't grep the output, it'll give you details on how the current slots are filled and with what type/speed of memory | 00:33 |
| wxl | it's kind of a big long spew, so you'll probably want to pipe it through your pager of choice | 00:33 |
| wxl | (if any of that doesn't make sense, don't hesitate to task) | 00:33 |
| notmacbook | thanks a bunch | 00:36 |
| wxl | np | 00:37 |

| laptop | hi | 22:00 |
| laptop | release date of lubuntu 18.10 | 22:05 |

| aphirst | Hi there! Quick question - I'm testing out lubuntu 17.10 on a spare computer and am surprised that, despite installing gvfs-common and nfs-common (i think those wre the names), I'm unable to access NFS mounts from my LAN via pcmanfm. | 22:26 |
| aphirst | I am however able to view those same mounts with `showmount`, and mount via fstab | 22:27 |
| aphirst | AND pcmanfm on my other Arch machine can access nfs:// locations directly just fine | 22:27 |
| aphirst | pcmanfm claims to be 1.2.5 in both cases. I've searched all the keywords i can think of, and the error message pcmanfm gives, but can't find any threads actually relevant. | 22:28 |
| Irritiable|LT | Lubuntu seems to have a small and inactive IRC channel, aphirst. | 22:28 |
| Irritiable|LT | Better off pretending it's Ubuntu and going to: #ubuntu. | 22:28 |
| aphirst | I figured it best to ask here first all the same | 22:28 |
| aphirst | fair enough, i'll go ask there | 22:29 |
| aphirst | thanks | 22:29 |

| wxl | aw jeez i thought there was a useful message there | 23:20 |
| laptop | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/pending/ | 23:20 |
| tsimonq2 | wxl: Fix it. ;) | 23:20 |
