| xubuntu96w | I am trying to install Ubuntu on an old Celeron D processor desktop with 512 MB RAM and get an error with Ubuntu 10.4 "Kernel requires a x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. " | 02:06 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu96w | I am considering installing xubuntu now, sice some posts on the internet indicated that xubuntu will be better suited for such an old machine | 02:07 |
| xubuntu96w | Can some one suggest the appropriate version of xubuntu to use? | 02:08 |

| deadrom | hi. had xub16.04LTS, then 18.04LTS for years on a Thinkpad T530 with 2 monitors on a docking station. I suspend-to-RAM when machine is not in use. worked fine for ages. | 16:02 |
| deadrom | then replace the T530 with a Dell M4800 mobile workstation, migrated the SSD over and so far it works really good but: when waking up from suspend all sort of things happen with the monitor setup. sometimes 2 mirrors 1, sometimes I lose one monitor, sometimes 1 gets stretched to 3840x1200, and the "config displays" thing pops up | 16:04 |
| deadrom | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/msFNSy9QtH/ this script *mostly* sets things back ok, but I think it's an issue with how the docking station powers up. I think the ports are powered up too late so xubunut forgets, then rediscovers the monitors after resume. any idea what to do about that? | 16:06 |
| brainwash | deadrom: does it happen when screen locking is disabled? | 16:15 |
| deadrom | brainwash: is disabled. | 16:15 |
| brainwash | Xfce 4.14 has improved disabled handling, but it's only available in 19.10 or via PPA for 18.04 | 16:16 |
| brainwash | ehm | 16:16 |
| brainwash | display handling | 16:17 |
| diogenes_ | deadrom, you could try to setup monitors with xorg instead of user settings. | 16:17 |
| deadrom | diogenes_: https://xkcd.com/963/ | 16:17 |
| deadrom | but good point, I never checked xorg.conf for old cruft from the Thinkpad era... | 16:18 |
| deadrom | brainwash: stable PPA? | 16:18 |
| brainwash | https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/staging | 16:19 |
| diogenes_ | deadrom, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhiLWxJgiAo&list=PL_SzaGshm1xfgTnMtW9A50ff2JokazGZx&index=4&t=0s | 16:19 |
| brainwash | I guess you can call it stable | 16:19 |
| deadrom | brainwash: gonna try | 16:21 |
| brainwash | Xfce 4.14 allows you to save and restore display profiles | 16:21 |
| brainwash | but still, it's not guaranteed that it solves your problem | 16:21 |
| brainwash | and installing 4.14 may bring in new issues too | 16:21 |
| brainwash | (whiles fixing many others obviously) | 16:23 |
| deadrom | diogenes_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KJzCnXqMJv/ <- that's some old cruft there from my last machine... the 5400M, the display names espacially. | 16:24 |
| deadrom | maybe I go clean up there first | 16:24 |
| xubuntu76w | Hi, good afternoon | 19:44 |
| xubuntu76w | It's ok to use Xubuntu with AMD Ryzen 3 2200g? | 19:44 |
| tomreyn | hi xubuntu76w, i don't see why not. you may want a recent kernel, though | 19:48 |
| genii | tomreyn: AFAIK there are still no GPU drivers for it | 20:14 |
| tomreyn | genii: i think DCN1.0 is supported since linux 4.16, but 5.0, 5.2 and 5.4 may have improved upon it. | 20:28 |
| genii | Hm | 20:29 |
| tomreyn | i dont have first hand experience though | 20:30 |
