[01:29] <N33R> n-word
[01:49] <Kumool> BAN HIM
[01:49] <Kumool> BAN!
[01:49] <Kumool> HE SAID THE N WORD!
[01:49] <dax> let's not give the silliness more attention, please :)
[02:04] <Kumool> he said silliness! CUE THE BAND!
[19:17] <rhoks> hello hello.
[19:17] <rhoks> Is he default firefox browser that comes preloaded good enough to play youtube and facebook videos on an old laptop?
[19:18] <rhoks> or do I need to install flash player or something (I have no idea)
[19:19] <diogenes_> rhoks, if you have 3Gb+ RAM.
[19:21] <rhoks> well it has 3.5GB of RAM from what I can tell diogenes_ sir
[19:23] <diogenes_> rhoks, should be ok but don't open too many tabs.
[19:23] <rhoks> also the preloaded browser is the lightest one I could use on the system right? diogenes_
[19:24] <rhoks> light on the RAM and CPU I mean.
[19:25] <diogenes_> rhoks, not the lightest but standard linux browser.
[19:25] <rhoks> whats the lightest I could use for basic usage
[19:25] <rhoks> youtube and facebook for example
[19:27] <diogenes_> rhoks, anyone that includes webrtc technology and other stuff to be able to call, is not lightweight apriori.
[19:28] <diogenes_> web call, playback sucks up lots of resources.
[19:29] <rhoks> I see.
[19:30] <rhoks> sooo
[19:30] <rhoks> but in general though whats the lightest browser one could use with xubuntu though
[19:31] <diogenes_> rhoks, epiphany, dillo, falkon.
[19:35] <rhoks> excellent
[19:35] <rhoks> will install ephiphany I think
[19:35] <rhoks> I think I've heard of it or use it ages ago
[19:37] <tomreyn> 3.5 GB RAM sounds like it can be 32-bit, though?
[19:39] <diogenes_> tomreyn, 19.10 is 64 only.
[19:39] <tomreyn> was 19.10 mentioned? i may have missed it
[19:40] <diogenes_> nope but people always tend to get the latest.
[19:41] <diogenes_> psychology.
[19:41] <tomreyn> :)
[19:51] <rhoks> tomreyn, its actually 64bit
[19:52] <rhoks> was a windows 7 home premium hp 2000-365XD or DX system
[19:52] <rhoks> from 2010 or 2011 I believe
[19:52] <rhoks> and I definitely installed LTS
[19:52] <rhoks> 18.03 or 04
[19:53] <rhoks> tbh its not for me its for this old man that is not tech savvy
[19:54] <rhoks> windows 7 was super slow and Microsoft just announced a few days ago they're officially ending support for win7
[19:54] <rhoks> and he often uses it to stream video on browsers
[19:56] <rhoks> epiphany cannot be found in the Software center? Do I need to add a repo or something to install it?
[19:57] <rhoks> diogenes_ ?
[19:58] <diogenes_> rhoks, afaik it changed the name to gnome-browser or web.
[20:17] <tomreyn> rhoks: oh right, a Pentium Processor B950 apparently, that's a 64-bit sandybridge.
[20:24] <rhoks> tomreyn, diogenes_ why do you think is it not going to sleep/suspension when I fold the laptop?
[20:25] <rhoks> I mean the screen went dark... but the fan was still on meaning it didn't suspend
[20:25] <tomreyn> rhoks: i don't think i talked about this.
[20:25] <rhoks> maybe i should've waited longer
[20:25] <rhoks> haha
[20:25] <diogenes_> rhoks, you need to set it in logind.conf
[20:25] <rhoks> ahh I believe I found the setting to correct this.
[20:26] <rhoks> using the gui xfce power manager
[20:27] <rhoks> Done!
[20:27] <rhoks> I think thats it.
[20:27] <rhoks> I'll just tell the old man not to use more than 3 or 4 tabs and it should be fine.
[20:27] <rhoks> thanks guys.
[20:28] <diogenes_> np
[20:38] <tomreyn> 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] <kubast2> guys
[23:05] <kubast2> how do I undo
[23:05] <kubast2> screen zoom
[23:05] <kubast2> without rebooting
[23:05] <gnrp> alt+mouse wheel
[23:05] <kubast2> no way
[23:05] <kubast2> yeah I know what happend now
[23:06] <kubast2> the piece of shit touchpad
[23:06] <gnrp> lol
[23:06] <kubast2> 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] <kubast2> I honestly can't fucking imagine people using macbooks
[23:07] <gnrp> for some reasons with macbooks the palm recognition works quite well, I have to say
[23:07] <gnrp> you can tune the parameters for your needs anyway
[23:07] <kubast2> Ah I think I just don't have palm recognition at all
[23:08] <kubast2> I kinda try to rest my hands where the touchpads isn't there
[23:08] <kubast2> but I still hit the corners of the touchpad at times
[23:08] <gnrp> 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] <gnrp> check out synclient
[23:17] <kubast2> in sec gotta run apt upgrade first
[23:17] <kubast2> oh
[23:17] <kubast2> xserver-xorg-core-hwe-18.04
[23:17] <kubast2> I actually use hwe without knowing it
[23:18] <kubast2> so I need xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-18.04: instead of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics:
[23:18] <kubast2> xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-18.04 is already the newest version (1.9.1-1ubuntu1~18.04.1).
[23:18] <kubast2> okay
[23:19] <kubast2> okay it is installed of course
[23:21] <kubast2> HorizTwoFingerScroll 0 I know what I need to enable; VertEdgeScroll 1 I wasn't even aware this was enabled
[23:21] <kubast2> 2 finger scroll is more ergonomic ngl
