[00:11] <Kumool> xubuntu60w: why you do that?
[00:11] <Kumool> xubuntu60w: use raspbian
[00:11] <Kumool> seriously, finding stuff for arm is harder than x86
[00:12] <Kumool> alpine is more suited for embedded
[00:12] <Kumool> ubuntu is not good for anything embedded
[02:37] <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?
[02:42] <Mead> what driver did suggest instead?
[02:43] <xubuntu57w> it gave me i965-va-driver
[02:46] <xubuntu57w> actually, I don't remember making a selection, it was just done
[02:47] <xubuntu57w> so maybe there's an issue with the detection during installation
[02:49] <xubuntu57w> also is it safe to assumed that LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD would have been exported if xubuntu had installed the correct driver?
[03:08] <nando5> Hello whats the diference between xubu, lubu, kubu and ubun?
[03:09] <Bashing-om> nando5: Just the desktop environment and installed applications, The kernel is the same.
[03:12] <nando5> ok thanks, some are more light its for installing on my chromebook
[07:54] <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?
[07:56] <well_laid_lawn> scottsen:  which version of xubuntu are you on ?
[07:57] <well_laid_lawn> and have you updated the repo ?
[07:57] <well_laid_lawn> !repo
[07:57] <well_laid_lawn> !update
[07:57] <well_laid_lawn> !bot
[07:58] <scottsen> I'm not even smart enough to know how to find the current version.  I think i installed the latest LTE
[07:59] <scottsen> thanks will check out the repositories link
[07:59] <well_laid_lawn> luck
[08:18] <well_laid_lawn> !version
[08:18] <scottsen> thx!
[08:19] <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
[08:20] <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
[08:21] <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
[08:22] <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!?"
[08:23] <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
[08:24] <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 :)
[08:25] <well_laid_lawn> just have more free time I guess
[08:27] <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> ...
[08:28] <well_laid_lawn> it all depends on the version of the os you are using
[08:28] <well_laid_lawn> !backports
[08:28] <scottsen> 18.04.3 LTS
[08:30] <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] <well_laid_lawn> I don't use neovim...
[08:31] <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
[08:33] <well_laid_lawn> you are doing well for someone relativly new to the linux world
[08:34] <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
[08:35] <well_laid_lawn> a new daily driver os needs more attention
[08:35] <well_laid_lawn> at the beginning
[08:36] <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
[18:39] <bleb> can you tell xubuntu to use only a portion of the screen, to compensate for tv overscan?
[18:40] <bleb> like the software thinks it has a 1080x1920, but i want it to only use a 950x1850 rectangle
[18:41] <bleb> for purposes of positioning panels, maximizing windows, and fullscreen programs
[21:52] <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
