[00:12] <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
[00:13] <tsimonq2> notmacbook: Which programs?
[00:16] <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.
[00:17] <notmacbook> YT in ff, amazon video in chrome
[00:18] <wxl> notmacbook: probably not enough memory
[00:18] <wxl> these days browsers are resource hogs, no matter what operating system you're on
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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?
[00:22] <notmacbook> the system stops responding to all input
[00:22] <notmacbook> mouse, keyboard
[00:23] <wxl> how long have you waited for it?
[00:24] <notmacbook> a couple of minutes
[00:25] <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] <wxl> ^^^ you might try using that, too
[00:26] <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
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <wxl> linux will allow you to use the maximum your motherboard will allow
[00:30] <parhelia> maximum memory limit is hardware, not software
[00:30] <wxl> ^^ that
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <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)
[00:36] <notmacbook> thanks a bunch
[00:37] <wxl> np
[22:00] <laptop> hi
[22:05] <laptop> release date of lubuntu 18.10
[22:05] <tsimonq2> What about it?
[22:15] <laptop> when is it
[22:15] <tsimonq2> 18.10? Not decided yet.
[22:16] <laptop> sorry 18.04
[22:16] <tsimonq2> The 26th.
[22:26] <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.
[22:27] <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
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <aphirst> fair enough, i'll go ask there
[22:29] <aphirst> thanks
[23:14] <laptop> is lubuntu 18 faster than 17
[23:18] <wxl> laptop: not in any recognizable way, no
[23:18] <laptop> i see how do i download lubuntu 18 32 bit url?
[23:19] <wxl> it's not out yet
[23:19] <aphirst> there are nightlies aren't there?
[23:19] <laptop> release date
[23:19] <wxl> at least the final release is not out yet
[23:19] <wxl> !isitout
[23:20] <aphirst> i'm patiently waiting for 18 when i will keenly roll it out onto our 2 old lightweight machines
[23:20] <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] <laptop> is it better to wait or download this daily live
[23:20] <wxl> wait
[23:21] <wxl> you have 15 days
[23:29] <laptop> release date for lubuntu 32 and 64 bit
[23:29] <laptop> also does wine have any noticeable differenec from wndows for running games
[23:57] <wxl> laptop: now +15 days and none that i'm aware of. check with wine.
[23:57] <laptop> i am downloading it
