[00:11] xubuntu60w: why you do that? [00:11] xubuntu60w: use raspbian [00:11] seriously, finding stuff for arm is harder than x86 [00:12] alpine is more suited for embedded [00:12] ubuntu is not good for anything embedded [02:37] 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? [02:42] what driver did suggest instead? [02:43] it gave me i965-va-driver [02:46] actually, I don't remember making a selection, it was just done [02:47] so maybe there's an issue with the detection during installation [02:49] also is it safe to assumed that LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD would have been exported if xubuntu had installed the correct driver? [03:08] Hello whats the diference between xubu, lubu, kubu and ubun? [03:09] nando5: Just the desktop environment and installed applications, The kernel is the same. [03:12] ok thanks, some are more light its for installing on my chromebook === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube === EvaristeGalois is now known as Priem19 [07:54] 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] my basic question is "how do I get the latest version of neovim?" [07:54] "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] How does apt know where to find the proper version to install? [07:56] scottsen: which version of xubuntu are you on ? [07:57] and have you updated the repo ? [07:57] !repo [07:57] 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] !update [07:57] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [07:57] !bot [07:57] 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 [07:58] I'm not even smart enough to know how to find the current version. I think i installed the latest LTE [07:59] thanks will check out the repositories link [07:59] luck [08:18] !version [08:18] 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 » [08:18] thx! [08:19] you know about using a terminal ? [08:19] ya, I actually have strong vim skills, and have used enough bash to get around [08:19] well done [08:20] it kind of like... "i used to know unix... in 1995" [08:20] being old is not for the weak :-P [08:20] it's like riding a bike - no one forgets how to fall off ;) [08:20] lol [08:21] 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] xubuntu was just... random choice of first linux variant [08:21] I haven't booted back to Windows since. [08:21] It. Is. Amazing. [08:21] it looks good in blue [08:22] 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!?" [08:23] as a geezer it was the first time I "got" the open source movement. [08:23] nothing is forced on you [08:23] I'm heading towards 52 this year [08:24] that's geezer too, but... you were older enough to have been hardcore. [08:24] if you have been coding your whole life that is :) [08:24] I started in 2010 [08:24] that's awesome. you are just a better human than me :) [08:25] just have more free time I guess [08:27] Anybody know my "next step" if I want to look on why this is Version 0.2..2-3 ? [08:27] scottsen@asteroid:/etc/apt $ apt show neovim [08:27] Package: neovim [08:27] Version: 0.2.2-3 [08:27] Priority: extra [08:27] Section: universe/editors [08:27] ... [08:28] it all depends on the version of the os you are using [08:28] !backports [08:28] 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] 18.04.3 LTS [08:30] 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] !ppa [08:30] 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] I don't use neovim... [08:31] perfect! you got me there [08:31] >> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/stable [08:31] thank you good sir [08:31] luck [08:33] you are doing well for someone relativly new to the linux world [08:34] well, a cheat with a tiny bit of raspberry pi futzing [08:34] heh [08:34] but that was also just ssh pure console [08:34] and ... writing a single python program usually. using it as your primary desktop is a whole other thing [08:35] a new daily driver os needs more attention [08:35] at the beginning [08:36] ya well, I'm done with msft. my console started getting ads. (powershell). I'm done., [08:36] yrp [08:36] or yep === MrBum is now known as mr-bum [18:39] can you tell xubuntu to use only a portion of the screen, to compensate for tv overscan? [18:40] like the software thinks it has a 1080x1920, but i want it to only use a 950x1850 rectangle [18:41] for purposes of positioning panels, maximizing windows, and fullscreen programs [21:52] i think you can with xrandr [21:52] you can get more help about it in ##linux, it's not ubuntu specific problem
