[05:44] ok === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [06:27] hello [06:27] this is me from mint 19.2 [06:28] xubuntu latest, irc fails to connect :/ [06:28] (from link in installer) [06:29] The link to https://webchat.freenode.net ..? [06:31] yeah webchat.freennode.net/#xubuntu [06:32] at least that's what the browser shows when you click it with the mouse [06:33] oh btw how much RAM minimum you recommend for using very basic tasks? (e-mail, sometimes youtube videos etc) ...? [06:34] in mint (also derived from ubuntu) 2GB works well, how about xubuntu? [06:34] The biggest thing is going to be the browser, firefox and chrome eat tons of ram Perhaps look into installing youtube-dl and mpv. [06:34] Xubuntu itself will have zero issues with 2G, that's what I use (though it's not really the best with firefox, all the time..) [06:35] Unit193: yeah agreed with that.... firefox (especially as an open source, multiplatform project) should eat up LOTS less mem.... :/ [06:36] chrome is also good, but more limited in terms of licensing etc... [06:36] I even have an Xubuntu-like system that only has 1G of ram, but I don't use firefox really on that. It's mainly headless (still runs a GUI, but only VNC'd in or ssh.) [06:37] anyway i prefer firefox for me personally (despite the bloat) ... but for friends/family, as long as it's not the microsuck "windows explorer" aka "edge" :) [06:37] Anywho, see mpv, specifically with the --ytdl-format option. [06:39] Unit193: i also have a home server, manages my whole home network, wifi, internetn connection etc.... been running slackware on a p4 / 256MB for over 15 years, mobo fried so for now it's running a spare mobo with 2GB ....didn't even need to reinstall :D [06:39] internet** [06:39] oh mobo on that home server fried like 2 or 3 weeks ago [06:40] after a good 20 years of faithful service [06:46] oh btw i must say, very nice distro :) testing it right now in a vm [06:47] i was a slackware user since like the mid 1990's until like 2013 or 2014 when i tried out a few more "modern" distros and settled on mint.. with slack always running on my aforementioned hub machine :) [06:48] iirc i tried this one (xubuntu) but there was some issues with it.... anyway i'll keep you guys posted [06:48] thanks again very much for (what so far looks like) a very nice linux based os!! [06:53] Sure thing. [07:12] =) [07:12] Unit193: just curious, are you part of the xubuntu dev/maintainer team? [07:14] Yep. [07:15] I assist with maintaining Xfce in Debian and Xubuntu both, actually. [07:46] Unit193: ah, awesome :D i haven't directly contributed to the linux/foss world in years.... i'd really like to have the chance again, if possible [07:46] s/years/almost a decade/ [07:47] Well if nothing else, Xubuntu could always use testers. [08:02] ok, good to know... but for xfce i was kind of put off when ofourdan & co. just blatantly told me the IPC in my updates sucked cos my approach was too X11 specific, meanwhile 5 or 6 years later X11 is still the dominant graphic system on *nix other than apple :/ [08:02] that was like 2013 or 2014 === rud0lf is now known as MC680000 === MC680000 is now known as MC68000 === MC68000 is now known as rud0lf [12:11] hi all [12:14] trying to install dual boot win10/xubuntu after failing attempt to install ubuntu (installation hangs when "installing grub2") === Mead is now known as mead === newuser is now known as yeaboi [16:43] hello there [18:48] Hello, I upgraded to xubuntu eoan las friday, and i'm getting random lockscreens , even if i disbled lockscreen after a while in config [18:52] hello neyder, my guess is that you have Light Locker AND xfce4-screensaver installed, do you have any Screensaver preferences in the main settings window now? [18:54] you can check if you have them both installed using "apt-cache policy light-locker" and "apt-cache policy xfce4-screensaver" [18:54] Hi Spass yup i gow screensaver and power settings [18:55] which i should remove, does upgrade process should remove it to? [18:56] xfce4-screensaver is default in eoan, so I'd go with this one [18:57] yeah, I think that the upgrade process should do a better job in this particulat case, not sure if that's easy tho [18:57] xfce4-screensaver should conflicts with ligh-locker [18:57] or something === Gusf is now known as Gusj_ === Gusj_ is now known as Gusj
