[00:00] <wxl> you don't SKIP it using memory XD
[00:00] <wxl> you might as well skip it using power
[00:00] <wxl> how much total RAM you have?
[00:02] <wxl> um
[00:02] <wxl> make up your mind?
[00:03] <wxl> so that's plenty to boot up the system and get it running, use different apps
[00:03] <wxl> so what are you doing that's consuming so much memory? have you looked at the task manager?
[00:04] <wxl> you didn't say that
[00:04] <wxl> so how do you know it's a memory issue?
[00:05] <wxl> what specific error message?
[00:06] <wxl> like the EXACT wording
[00:06] <wxl> screenshot it if you have to
[00:12] <wxl> do you have a phone?
[00:14] <wxl> so let's back up a minute here
[00:14] <wxl> 1. did you check the hashes on the ISO?
[00:15] <wxl> 2. when you booted, at the GRUB screen, did you select "check disc for defects?"
[00:15] <wxl> ^^ with the installation media
[00:15] <wxl> that, sadly, doesn't mean anything
[00:16] <wxl> you could have one single bit of information that is corrupted and it could lead to all sorts of weird errors in one case where in another case it works fine
[00:16] <wxl> but if you did the check, you're fine
[00:16] <wxl> the "bad memory" thing makes me wonder if the hardware isn't defective
[00:16] <wxl> have you tried using the "memcheck" option in the GRUB menu of the installer?
[00:17] <wxl> and the memory wasn't defective at all?
[00:18] <wxl> huh i've never seen this before
[00:18] <wxl> what specific machine is this?
[00:18] <wxl> can you boot to the installer and run `dmidecode` and pastebin that somewhere?
[00:19] <wxl> oh hold on
[00:19] <wxl> https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/288337
[00:21] <wxl> long story short: your BIOS is trying to use memory it shouldn't be
[00:21] <wxl> it should boot, though
[00:22] <wxl> that said the error is probably a red herring
[00:22] <wxl> i'd look into a reinstall
[00:22] <wxl> maybe see if you can upgrade the bios
[00:24] <wxl> you know there's something i tell people all the time
[00:24] <wxl> linux can do a lot of things
[00:24] <wxl> but it can't fix broken XD
[00:26] <wxl> sorry i couldn't be of more help :(
[00:27] <tomreyn> switching to uefi booting might work around it. but i assume this is so old it doesn't support uefi?
[00:30] <tomreyn> reinstalling ubuntu wont help with a buggy bios, but i didn't follow the whole chat, maybe there was something else.
[00:33] <tomreyn> older graphics cards may also do funny things such as corrupting low memory. i've seen some of a company whose name starts with n and ends in vidia do that.
 @wxl [<wxl> @Login_01 that's what causes the icons to stick in place], Here I am. I write from Italy, and in previous messages from me it was already night. … As soon as I have the opportunity to test for the problem of the icons I will let you know. … For the second problem I will send you a photo so that you understand better.
 @lubuntu_bot Hy!
 I no longer see the messages in this chat. You too?
 OK 😁
[14:56] <wex> hi all
 @wex wimpy [2536 mb], 2536? Seems an od configuration for ram. What is it? Like 2gb+512mb? But shouldn't the usable amount be less than 2500mb in that case?
[17:00] <Guest63693> y orwell.freenode.net
[17:04] <wxl> @Login_01: if you're still around make sure to send that screenshot as a *link* rather than just pasting it in Telegram. our bridge has a bug i need to fix. maybe i'll try to get on that this morning.
[17:04] <wxl> and wex, i can't @ you because you don't have a username. but did you read what i sent you?
[17:04] <wxl> @.. did you figure out autologin?
[17:06] <wxl> @.. for the vast majority of logs, rsyslog does all the work. you can disable it with `sudo systemctl disable rsyslog.service` but, i, too, think that's really silly
[17:07] <wxl> oh jeez. don't hook it up to the internet.
[17:08] <wxl> the installer will give you the option
[17:10] <wxl> what you CAN do with XP is become a botnet node
[17:10] <wxl> without even trying!
 there is a configuration of swappiness
[17:49] <wxl> if there's nothing displayed by `swapon -s`, you don't have swap
[17:49] <wxl> you can disable all swaps with `swapoff -a`
[17:50] <wxl> generally swaps are automatically mounted in /etc/fstab, so if you have swaps you want to remove, you can remove the relevant lines and either delete the swapfile or reuse the partition
[17:50] <wxl> same logic applies in general to linux as it does to windows or any other os
 wxl: remember that latest lubuntu doesn't use swap partition as default, it uses a file.
[18:04] <wxl> @HMollerCl everything i said still applies :0
 because I don't have it wxl
[18:08] <wxl> `swapoff -a` will disable ALL swaps, regardless of their form
 swapoff [options] [<spec>] … Disable devices and files for paging and swapping.
 from swapoff —help
 @PLYR 0 [<reply to image>], Road Rash! :P
 We have the feature to not create any swap with Calamares. We have https://phab.lubuntu.me/T22 for more details
 see `man mount`
 there is no `noctime` directive in options
