Kumool | xubuntu60w: why you do that? | 00:11 |
---|---|---|
Kumool | xubuntu60w: use raspbian | 00:11 |
Kumool | seriously, finding stuff for arm is harder than x86 | 00:11 |
Kumool | alpine is more suited for embedded | 00:12 |
Kumool | ubuntu is not good for anything embedded | 00:12 |
xubuntu57w | hi, I was wondering was there a reason why intel-media-va-driver was not suggested to be installed when my system has a i7-1065G7 processor? | 02:37 |
Mead | what driver did suggest instead? | 02:42 |
xubuntu57w | it gave me i965-va-driver | 02:43 |
xubuntu57w | actually, I don't remember making a selection, it was just done | 02:46 |
xubuntu57w | so maybe there's an issue with the detection during installation | 02:47 |
xubuntu57w | also is it safe to assumed that LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD would have been exported if xubuntu had installed the correct driver? | 02:49 |

scottsen | Likely zero to do with xubuntu but I'm brand new to linux from the Windows world and... this is where I found myself. but feel free to redirect me (or even point somewhere for me to go help fix it myself). | 07:54 |
scottsen | my basic question is "how do I get the latest version of neovim?" | 07:54 |
scottsen | "sudo apt install neovim" thinks 0.2.2 is plenty of version, but latest stable is 0.4.3, which... I'm not super sure how to install. | 07:54 |
scottsen | How does apt know where to find the proper version to install? | 07:54 |
well_laid_lawn | scottsen: which version of xubuntu are you on ? | 07:56 |
well_laid_lawn | and have you updated the repo ? | 07:57 |
well_laid_lawn | !repo | 07:57 |
ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 07:57 |
well_laid_lawn | !update | 07:57 |
ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 07:57 |
well_laid_lawn | !bot | 07:57 |
ubottu | Hi! I'm #xubuntu's favorite infobot. You can search my brain at https://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | General info and channels at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | Make a clone of me, see !botclone | 07:57 |
scottsen | I'm not even smart enough to know how to find the current version. I think i installed the latest LTE | 07:58 |
scottsen | thanks will check out the repositories link | 07:59 |
well_laid_lawn | luck | 07:59 |
well_laid_lawn | !version | 08:18 |
ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 08:18 |
scottsen | thx! | 08:18 |
well_laid_lawn | you know about using a terminal ? | 08:19 |
scottsen | ya, I actually have strong vim skills, and have used enough bash to get around | 08:19 |
well_laid_lawn | well done | 08:19 |
scottsen | it kind of like... "i used to know unix... in 1995" | 08:20 |
scottsen | being old is not for the weak :-P | 08:20 |
well_laid_lawn | it's like riding a bike - no one forgets how to fall off ;) | 08:20 |
scottsen | lol | 08:20 |
scottsen | I have to say -- and I guess this IS the appropriate room. I'm blown away. I have been life long Windows. I worked there. A long time. | 08:21 |
scottsen | xubuntu was just... random choice of first linux variant | 08:21 |
scottsen | I haven't booted back to Windows since. | 08:21 |
scottsen | It. Is. Amazing. | 08:21 |
well_laid_lawn | it looks good in blue | 08:21 |
scottsen | I am so used to "well, can you do...this weird thing...?" and the answer was always "no. this is windows". Here... I keep going --- wait, what? you can just "do that!?" | 08:22 |
scottsen | as a geezer it was the first time I "got" the open source movement. | 08:23 |
well_laid_lawn | nothing is forced on you | 08:23 |
well_laid_lawn | I'm heading towards 52 this year | 08:23 |
scottsen | that's geezer too, but... you were older enough to have been hardcore. | 08:24 |
scottsen | if you have been coding your whole life that is :) | 08:24 |
well_laid_lawn | I started in 2010 | 08:24 |
scottsen | that's awesome. you are just a better human than me :) | 08:24 |
well_laid_lawn | just have more free time I guess | 08:25 |
scottsen | Anybody know my "next step" if I want to look on why this is Version 0.2..2-3 ? | 08:27 |
scottsen | scottsen@asteroid:/etc/apt $ apt show neovim | 08:27 |
scottsen | Package: neovim | 08:27 |
scottsen | Version: 0.2.2-3 | 08:27 |
scottsen | Priority: extra | 08:27 |
scottsen | Section: universe/editors | 08:27 |
scottsen | ... | 08:27 |
well_laid_lawn | it all depends on the version of the os you are using | 08:28 |
well_laid_lawn | !backports | 08:28 |
ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 08:28 |
scottsen | 18.04.3 LTS | 08:28 |
scottsen | is this a "you need to add a custom entry to sources.list" situation... where *everyone* would want that, even though there are new stable versions of neovim? | 08:30 |
well_laid_lawn | !ppa | 08:30 |
ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 08:30 |
well_laid_lawn | I don't use neovim... | 08:30 |
scottsen | perfect! you got me there | 08:31 |
scottsen | >> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/stable | 08:31 |
scottsen | thank you good sir | 08:31 |
well_laid_lawn | luck | 08:31 |
well_laid_lawn | you are doing well for someone relativly new to the linux world | 08:33 |
scottsen | well, a cheat with a tiny bit of raspberry pi futzing | 08:34 |
well_laid_lawn | heh | 08:34 |
scottsen | but that was also just ssh pure console | 08:34 |
scottsen | and ... writing a single python program usually. using it as your primary desktop is a whole other thing | 08:34 |
well_laid_lawn | a new daily driver os needs more attention | 08:35 |
well_laid_lawn | at the beginning | 08:35 |
scottsen | ya well, I'm done with msft. my console started getting ads. (powershell). I'm done., | 08:36 |
well_laid_lawn | yrp | 08:36 |
well_laid_lawn | or yep | 08:36 |

bleb | can you tell xubuntu to use only a portion of the screen, to compensate for tv overscan? | 18:39 |
bleb | like the software thinks it has a 1080x1920, but i want it to only use a 950x1850 rectangle | 18:40 |
bleb | for purposes of positioning panels, maximizing windows, and fullscreen programs | 18:41 |
rud0lf | i think you can with xrandr | 21:52 |
rud0lf | you can get more help about it in ##linux, it's not ubuntu specific problem | 21:52 |
