[02:06] <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. "
[02:07] <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
[02:08] <xubuntu96w> Can some one suggest the appropriate version of xubuntu to use?
[07:54] <Regor> memory is so cheap nowadays . its better to upgrade ..
[16:02] <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.
[16:04] <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
[16:06] <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?
[16:15] <brainwash> deadrom: does it happen when screen locking is disabled?
[16:15] <deadrom> brainwash: is disabled.
[16:16] <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
[16:17] <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/
[16:18] <deadrom> but good point, I never checked xorg.conf for old cruft from the Thinkpad era...
[16:18] <deadrom> brainwash: stable PPA?
[16:19] <brainwash> https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/staging

[16:19] <brainwash> I guess you can call it stable
[16:21] <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
[16:23] <brainwash> (whiles fixing many others obviously)
[16:24] <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
[19:44] <xubuntu76w> Hi, good afternoon
[19:44] <xubuntu76w> It's ok to use Xubuntu with AMD Ryzen 3 2200g?
[19:48] <tomreyn> hi xubuntu76w, i don't see why not. you may want a recent kernel, though
[20:14] <genii> tomreyn: AFAIK there are still no GPU drivers for it
[20:28] <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.
[20:29] <genii> Hm
[20:30] <tomreyn> i dont have first hand experience though
