[05:52] <satti> hi
[05:52] <satti> need some help
[05:52] <satti> how to connect to projector from ubuntu
[06:28] <nilei_> test
[06:32] <thomas__> i am desperate about this whole computer i have
[06:33] <thomas__> i started with xp, then 7, 8.1, 10 then the crack somehow got discovered
[06:33] <thomas__> probably after a kb file that got installed
[06:34] <thomas__> and then the problems start
[06:34] <thomas__> new video card
[06:34] <thomas__> still running extremely slow now
[06:34] <thomas__> installed a variety of linux distro's
[06:34] <thomas__> slow af
[06:35] <thomas__> did a memtest
[06:35] <thomas__> searched long hours
[06:35] <thomas__> waited long hours
[06:35] <thomas__> doing short things on a slow pc taking even more hours
[06:36] <thomas__> bro, i'm poor and i wanna save this pc
[06:36] <thomas__> all ancient parts on it
[07:16] <mate|37662> Good morning everyone... I am very new to this   IRC and stuff, so I will come up with a better nickname for next time
[07:22] <mate|37662> Does anyone have a favorite electronics design package. ( working with Raspberry and aruino for some robotics and lighting projects)
[07:32] <thomas__> hey mate
[07:32] <thomas__> lel
[07:33] <mate|37662> 'mornin
[07:33] <thomas__> my pc is slow in a weird way
[07:33] <thomas__> it freezes, then runs smooth again, freezes, run smooth and so on
[07:33] <thomas__> with every program, even booting
[07:34] <thomas__> well booting is ok
[07:34] <thomas__> login
[07:35] <thomas__> i guess this IRC is mainly for noobs like me to ask help from 'noobs' just like me
[07:37] <mate|37662> more or less could be just bad timing... any further details thomas_
[07:39] <mate|37662> thomas_ ... some specs? CPU, RAM, HD, OS, etc.?
[07:39] <thomas__> i have to look that up again
[07:40] <thomas__> 'new' ish video card
[07:40] <thomas__> but all ancient
[07:40] <thomas__> hold on
[07:44] <thomas__> i'm too used to windows man
[07:45] <thomas__> geforce 6800gt lol
[07:45] <thomas__> amd cpu
[07:46] <thomas__> whats the copy&paste combo on linux?
[07:46] <mate|37662> I seem to remember some comands that help w/ HW ID ... I will try to look them up
[07:47] <mate|37662> copy and paste same as windows, except from the CLI
[07:47] <thomas__> explain CLI
[07:47] <thomas__> ubuntu16.04.3 LTS P6T asus motherboard
[07:47] <thomas__> very old also
[07:48] <mate|37662> Command Line Interface - same same as DO
[07:48] <mate|37662> sorry
[07:48] <thomas__> i7 920 @2.67ghz
[07:48] <mate|37662> same as DOS prompt
[07:48] <mate|37662> aka. the terminal
[07:49] <thomas__> 6gig ram i think ddr3
[07:49] <thomas__> sorry it's a 6600GT not 800
[07:50] <mate|37662> system sounds like you should be having now problems... fresh stand alone install or dual boot?
[07:50] <thomas__> 2tb drive, linux auto install without any adjustments done by me
[07:50] <thomas__> clean install
[07:50] <thomas__> well no
[07:50] <thomas__> sorry
[07:50] <mate|37662> which linux?  might help with sourcing the commands
[07:51] <thomas__> i selected to wipe complete disk and clean install yeah
[07:51] <thomas__> ubuntu MATE
[07:52] <thomas__> because it claimed it would support more older hardware out of the box
[07:52] <mate|37662> OK you should be in the right place for help.... Me I am still fairly new to this ( used some UNIX in a past life )
[07:52] <thomas__> but maybe there still is something broken
[07:52] <thomas__> yeah me too bro
[07:52] <thomas__> as a kid probably xD
[07:56] <thomas__> first few tries of linux installing was setting up partitions on a 2tb for speed boots
[07:56] <mate|37662> what kind of info do you get from top? ( right ctrl-alt-t to open a terminal then enter top) type ctrl-c to kill top when U want ,  type exit or ctrl-d to close the terminal
[07:57] <thomas__> lol
[07:57] <thomas__> eeh
[07:58] <mate|37662> and while we are at it what apps are you running that make the system freeze
[08:00] <thomas__> it's a brandnew install bro
[08:01] <thomas__> the freeze happens mostly at the first time of every action
[08:01] <thomas__> i really think it's hardware related somehow
[08:02] <thomas__> how can i rule out my paranoia about it being hardware based?
[08:02] <thomas__> is there a way i can 'test' every piece of hardware during boot sessions or so?
[08:03] <mate|37662> so, no extras, could be HW , still trying to remember some diag tools...
[08:03] <thomas__> what's HW again?
[08:03] <thomas__> ah ok
[08:03] <thomas__> hardware
[08:04] <mate|37662> and yes there are additional test you can setup/run , but it is 2am and I am just drawing blanks
[08:04] <thomas__> lol... that stuff i don't know but watching mr robot and first thing i did when logging in for the first time was logging in terminal as root haha
[08:05] <mate|37662> try hwinfo in a terminal
[08:07] <mate|37662> swap file size?  I use gparted for hard drive info
[08:09] <mate|37662> you could also do a google search on 'linux hardware testing ' and check out some of the results.
[08:09] <thomas__> great idea
[08:09] <thomas__> gonna try that one
[08:10] <mate|37662> sorry thomas_ I am going for a smoke and then the sack... Good luck mate
[08:10] <thomas__> np
[08:10] <thomas__> have a good day
[08:10] <thomas__> oh eh night right?
[12:05] <mate|85754> uh
[12:53] <adry> someone knows how I can install fortnite or grand theft auto V (GTA V) for free
