[01:29] n-word [01:49] BAN HIM [01:49] BAN! [01:49] HE SAID THE N WORD! [01:49] let's not give the silliness more attention, please :) [02:04] he said silliness! CUE THE BAND! === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === BobR_ is now known as Babloyi [19:17] hello hello. [19:17] Is he default firefox browser that comes preloaded good enough to play youtube and facebook videos on an old laptop? [19:18] or do I need to install flash player or something (I have no idea) [19:19] rhoks, if you have 3Gb+ RAM. [19:21] well it has 3.5GB of RAM from what I can tell diogenes_ sir [19:23] rhoks, should be ok but don't open too many tabs. [19:23] also the preloaded browser is the lightest one I could use on the system right? diogenes_ [19:24] light on the RAM and CPU I mean. [19:25] rhoks, not the lightest but standard linux browser. [19:25] whats the lightest I could use for basic usage [19:25] youtube and facebook for example [19:27] rhoks, anyone that includes webrtc technology and other stuff to be able to call, is not lightweight apriori. [19:28] web call, playback sucks up lots of resources. [19:29] I see. [19:30] sooo [19:30] but in general though whats the lightest browser one could use with xubuntu though [19:31] rhoks, epiphany, dillo, falkon. [19:35] excellent [19:35] will install ephiphany I think [19:35] I think I've heard of it or use it ages ago [19:37] 3.5 GB RAM sounds like it can be 32-bit, though? [19:39] tomreyn, 19.10 is 64 only. [19:39] was 19.10 mentioned? i may have missed it [19:40] nope but people always tend to get the latest. [19:41] psychology. [19:41] :) [19:51] tomreyn, its actually 64bit [19:52] was a windows 7 home premium hp 2000-365XD or DX system [19:52] from 2010 or 2011 I believe [19:52] and I definitely installed LTS [19:52] 18.03 or 04 [19:53] tbh its not for me its for this old man that is not tech savvy [19:54] windows 7 was super slow and Microsoft just announced a few days ago they're officially ending support for win7 [19:54] and he often uses it to stream video on browsers [19:56] epiphany cannot be found in the Software center? Do I need to add a repo or something to install it? [19:57] diogenes_ ? [19:58] rhoks, afaik it changed the name to gnome-browser or web. [20:17] rhoks: oh right, a Pentium Processor B950 apparently, that's a 64-bit sandybridge. [20:24] tomreyn, diogenes_ why do you think is it not going to sleep/suspension when I fold the laptop? [20:25] I mean the screen went dark... but the fan was still on meaning it didn't suspend [20:25] rhoks: i don't think i talked about this. [20:25] maybe i should've waited longer [20:25] haha [20:25] rhoks, you need to set it in logind.conf [20:25] ahh I believe I found the setting to correct this. [20:26] using the gui xfce power manager [20:27] Done! [20:27] I think thats it. [20:27] I'll just tell the old man not to use more than 3 or 4 tabs and it should be fine. [20:27] thanks guys. [20:28] np [20:38] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Web - the 3.34 changelog sounds good ("Rewritten and improved ad blocker which uses Webkit's content filtering. Web process sandboxing for improved security. Favorite tabs can be pinned. Plugin support removed.") - but a release per year or per 2 years is a problem unless you have a way to reliably get security patches backported. [23:05] guys [23:05] how do I undo [23:05] screen zoom [23:05] without rebooting [23:05] alt+mouse wheel [23:05] no way [23:05] yeah I know what happend now [23:06] the piece of shit touchpad [23:06] lol [23:06] why are touchpad so big now, or at least placed in a way I need to use my laptops keyboard as if I was nursing a baby [23:07] I honestly can't fucking imagine people using macbooks [23:07] for some reasons with macbooks the palm recognition works quite well, I have to say [23:07] you can tune the parameters for your needs anyway [23:07] Ah I think I just don't have palm recognition at all [23:08] I kinda try to rest my hands where the touchpads isn't there [23:08] but I still hit the corners of the touchpad at times [23:08] I also in the beginning when I had my current notebook always moved the cursor while typing... then I spent half an hour tuning that stuff (so the thresholds when somthing is considered a finger and when not) and now it is much nicer [23:08] check out synclient [23:17] in sec gotta run apt upgrade first [23:17] oh [23:17] xserver-xorg-core-hwe-18.04 [23:17] I actually use hwe without knowing it [23:18] so I need xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-18.04: instead of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: [23:18] xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-18.04 is already the newest version (1.9.1-1ubuntu1~18.04.1). [23:18] okay [23:19] okay it is installed of course [23:21] HorizTwoFingerScroll 0 I know what I need to enable; VertEdgeScroll 1 I wasn't even aware this was enabled [23:21] 2 finger scroll is more ergonomic ngl
