[11:02] <duke1995> Hello. I installed Lubuntu 18.04 on an old laptop. But when I look for additional drivers, I got the message that there are no additional drivers available. I then added the "Graphics Drivers" PPA, now "nvidia-304" is available, but I get an error when I try to install it.
[11:03] <duke1995> According to the error message there are unmet dependencies.
[11:10] <duke1995> I just booted from a Lubuntu 16.04.4 liveUSB, and in that live session the "nvidia-304" driver is found without adding the PPA.
[11:11] <duke1995> Are the Nvidia drivers not yet installable in Lubuntu 18.04?
[11:13] <duke1995> Should I install Lubuntu 16.04 instead? Or is there a way to fix this problem in 18.04?
[11:17] <diogenes_> duke1995, for older hw, 16.04 is better
[11:18] <duke1995_> OK, thanks for your reply. I'm going to replace my 18.04 installation with a 16.04 installation then.
[11:20] <duke1995_> By the way, the old laptop only has 1GB of memory. I suppose it's better to install the 32-bit version in that case.
[11:24] <JohnDoe6> 1Gb is bad for "modern" web-serfing use. fat web-technology
[11:24] <diogenes_> duke1995_, oh my, yes but you could try antiX too
[11:24] <diogenes_> i've run antix successfully on 256 MB ram pc :)
[11:25] <JohnDoe6> yep. now run browser and open some web pages. and see how you loose memory :)
[11:27] <diogenes_> JohnDoe6, i did run some webpages, with good patience you it's moderately usable except for youtube, but the workaround was using smtube and yiu could watch good youtube quality :)
[11:30] <duke1995_> That's why I thought I would be better off with the 32-bit version. Lubuntu 18.04 64-bit uses approximately 150 MB more than Lubuntu 18.04 32-bit according to my (basic) test.
[11:31] <JohnDoe6> browser is not links, lynx and dillo of course
[11:33] <diogenes_> it was even firefox
[11:33] <diogenes_> can't remeber which version
[11:34] <duke1995_> Thanks for the tip about antiX too. But I suppose you will run into the same kind of problems when you launch something like Firefox or Chromium.
[11:34] <diogenes_> you never know unless you try
[11:34] <JohnDoe6> diogenes_: and NoScript and *block
[11:35] <JohnDoe6> and you can look at slitaz
[11:35] <duke1995_> I guess Firefox Quantum is a leap forward if you have a recent pc, but not necessarily when you run it on an old laptop like the one I'm using right now.
[11:36] <diogenes_> actually trying freebsd on that ancient machine was moving even faster
[11:37] <duke1995_> As a matter of fact, it runs quite well for the moment. But the CPU usage is rather high on certain web pages, that's why I wanted to try the Nvidia drivers.
[11:39] <duke1995_> Which won't install on 18.04 at the moment, so I think I'll go back to 16.04 for now.
[11:39] <diogenes_> !EOL
[11:40] <diogenes_> duke1995_, no clue but if 14.04 is still supported then you can go for that one too
[11:40] <JohnDoe6> i have nettop amd с-60. it has very high cpu temp. some times it shutdown because thermal protection
[11:41] <duke1995_> I'm going to install 16.04 now, thanks a lot for your help and advice :-)
[13:56] <kmh__> hi
