[03:48] <gabrielmartins> Hello .. Good night. I would like to know how to activate all the cores of my processor through the terminal. I have 2 cores.
[03:49] <well_laid_lawn> gabrielmartins:  that will be done by the kernel automatically
[03:57] <gabrielmartins> Much obliged. I would like to talk about other questions here.
[04:01] <gabrielmartins> how do i save this channel on irc when starting it
[04:04] <gabrielmartins> hexchat
[04:05] <gabrielmartins> i use Hexchat
[04:07] <well_laid_lawn> I don't use hexchat but I'm sure there's some info on the web
[04:07] <well_laid_lawn> https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html
[04:07] <well_laid_lawn> gabrielmartins:  ↑
[13:39] <Monev> gabrielmartins: right click on the channel, there should be an autojoin option
[13:39] <Monev> mind you, its been a year since I last used hexchat
[14:14] <gabrielmartins> hi
[14:14] <gabrielmartins> good day.
[14:15] <diogenes_> hi
[14:15] <lighterowl> hi
[14:21] <gabrielmartins> Good Morning. i would like to install a fps to have fun with my xubumtu. however my computer is limited.
[14:22] <GridCube> Half life should do the trick
[14:22] <lighterowl> oh yeah
[14:23] <GridCube> Or counter strike, or any of those, i think they are free on steam
[14:24] <GridCube> Or maybe i got them on a sale for free... Don't know
[14:26] <diogenes_> afaik you can right from terminal do: sudo apt install openarena
[14:28] <lighterowl> oh yeah, that works.
[14:30] <lighterowl> huh, it seems like there are three openarena servers at work.
[14:30]  * lighterowl is amused.
[14:32] <gabrielmartins> grateful
[14:45] <jphilips> another free fps is team fortress
[14:46] <jphilips> only problem with a number of them is that they take some 10+ gbs of space
[14:47] <lighterowl> jphilips: 2001 called, it wants its huge hard drives back ;)
[15:43] <gabrielmartins> yet another last question with respectable linux users. I would like to know why I can't uninstall Meteo weather app. I've tried everything. the package is not found.
[15:45] <GridCube> i don't know what that is
[15:45] <GridCube> is it the weather widget in the panel?
[15:48] <Monev> gabrielmartins: might I interest you in a third person shooter
[15:56] <gabrielmartins> yes
[15:56] <gabrielmartins> is nice
[15:57] <gabrielmartins> fps is good
[15:58] <Monev> aw
[15:58] <Monev> gabrielmartins: try out teeworlds or ddnet
[15:58] <Monev> I used to play it a couple of years back
[15:59] <Monev> kinda dead now, but if you get the hang of it, the game is quite fast
[15:59] <Monev> like smash bros melee fast
[16:08] <gabrielmartins> I work with event sounding and I need an app for that. found in meteo and liked the appearance. but I can't seem to run it. I would like to uninstall it just to learn and not to leave applications that don't work.thanks
[16:09] <gabrielmartins> ok
[16:10] <GridCube> if you installed it from the repositories then it should be as simple as clicking uninstall from the software manager, if you installed it from somewhere else then you're on your own
[16:12] <diogenes_> gabrielmartins, look in synaptic package manager, it would list all installed packages including 3rd party ones.
[16:15] <xubuntu92w> I have the following network problem: from time to time the network connection goes away, and sometimes NetworkManager cannot detect my network. What I have done to try to solve it is the following:- Configure the network driver so that the connection is not cut.- Reinstall NetworkManager.- Start the system with an earlier version of the
[16:15] <xubuntu92w> kernel.Since it happens to me with any network to which I try to connect, I have looked at the NetworkManager information and I get an error that tells me that you cannot open / run / network / ifstate. I have verified that / run does not have the "network" subdirectory. Can that be what is causing me the problem or does it have nothing to do with
[16:15] <xubuntu92w> it? In case it has nothing to do, what could be the problem?
[16:17] <diogenes_> xubuntu92w, wifi?
[16:18] <xubuntu92w> Yes.
[16:20] <diogenes_> xubuntu92w, see if that also happens with cable also look in driver manager if it has any alternative wireless driver.
[16:24] <xubuntu92w> I don't have any problem on cable, I can connect quietly without the connection going away and without stopping detecting my network when I feel like it. Where can I see alternatives to my network driver? My computer is an HP Pavillion 15, if it helps.
[16:25] <diogenes_> in the menu type: driver manager
[16:28] <xubuntu92w> I just looked at it and it tells me that there is no alternative network driver.
[16:30] <diogenes_> xubuntu92w, might be an issue with the wireless card getting overheated.
[16:31] <xubuntu92w> And how can I solve it?
[16:32] <Matthew37> Is it worth waiting for 20.04 to release before I make my pretty much permanent/at least a few years install concidering 20.04 is meant to come soon
[16:33] <diogenes_> xubuntu92w, how old is the PC also after how much time the network disappears?
[16:34] <xubuntu92w> My computer is 7 years old, and this problem has been happening to me for 3 days.
[16:36] <diogenes_> did you upgrade/install anything before the issue occurred?
[16:39] <xubuntu92w> Yes, I did a package update and installed the new kernel version. As the kernel packages retained them, what I did was to uninstall them completely (purging the configuration files) and then install the new version.
[16:41] <diogenes_> xubuntu92w, what i'd suggest is to run a live iso off a usb drive and see if you encounter the same issue.
[16:45] <xubuntu92w> Okay. Between tonight and tomorrow I will check it (right now I am not at home and I don't have the Xubuntu installation DVD).
[16:46] <genii> Matthew37: If you need this machine to be stable, can install 18.04, then LTS->LTS direct upgrade to 20.04 will be available after the first point release of Focal ( 20.04.1 ) sometime around June/July. If that's not so crucial, you can install the current image of 20.04 and just keep it updated, the updated version will be identical to the release version after it's officially released
[16:49] <Matthew37> Would it be a good ideal to just wait for the first point release and then just install it or would it be good to install 18.04 now. I plan on installing it on a 128 gb usb drive
[16:54] <genii> Matthew37: For the most part, the current 20.04 image is stable, and the release version April 23 should be even moreso. The point releases usually are refinements of smaller fixes, but LTS to LTS upgrade is not offered before an LTS has been in wide distribution for a few months.
[16:56] <genii> Matthew37: So if this machine needs to be extremely reliable and stable, the best tactic is to install the current LTS, then upgrade to Focal when it is offered by the package manager
[16:57] <Matthew37> genii Isent there a risk of having certain things mess up when updateing from an LTS version to another LTS version
[16:58] <genii> Matthew37: If stock repositories are used, the risk is minimal. If you install a lot of software from outside sources like PPAs then the risk increases proportionally
[17:04] <Matthew37> genii How many outside software's until I would be better off just waiting for 20.04.1 and not even messing with 18.04
[17:07] <genii> That's not a question to which there is an answer
[17:11] <Matthew37> Is it worth it to install xubuntu onto a 3.0 usb or is the performance increase so small its worth it to just go with 2.0
[17:11] <genii> One outside package which provides it's own libraries that break dependencies of a stock package is enough. But there's no way to know which unless every individual PPA that's installed is compared to what the system expects or relies on normally. There is a package called ppa-purge however that can be used to return a system to stock by removing outside packages so that it can be safely upgraded to a new release
[17:15]  * genii wanders off for a bit to forage for food
[18:08] <Matthew37> Whats the best for long term use a external Hard drive, external SSD, Usb flash drive 3.0, or a Usb flash drive 2.0?
[18:22] <genii> An actual drive in an enclosure and not any kind of USB stick
[18:28] <Matthew37> genii so with linux what would be the better option an external ssd or external Hard drive
[18:31] <genii> An external SATA SSD with either an eSATA or USB3 enclosure
[18:45] <jediorder> can someone direct me to the best route to send feature suggestions for xubuntu?
[18:48] <genii> The traditional way is to file a bug report tiled "Feature Request" against the package which contains the thing you would like to have your suggestion appled to
[18:48] <genii> ..and they already left
[19:08] <brainwash> jediorder: what suggestion would that be?
[19:09] <brainwash> based on what you want it either should go to the Xubuntu team or the Xfce team
[19:09] <brainwash> or even somewhere else
[19:18] <jediorder> brainwash, it's to add something called night control or night display or something like that..it's featured in the ubuntu desktop version where it controls the screen color to be warmer at night time.
[19:18] <jediorder> brainwash, it'll probably have to be something that the xfce team'll handle but i wanted to ask here, too.
[19:19] <jediorder> i also have a question about something that's already in place.
[19:20] <brainwash> Xubuntu could add some tool to handle that, but not sure how it work nicely (it probably needs to be configured etc.)
[19:20] <brainwash> for Xfce, there may be a bug report for that request already
[19:21] <jediorder> brainwash, ok, cool. i've got the redshift snap installed at the moment to handle it and that's ok by me to use if that's the only to do it but if it can be added to the os as a standard feature, for future releases, that'd be great.
[19:22] <jediorder> only way to do it*
[19:23] <brainwash> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-meta
[19:23] <brainwash> and there is the xubuntu mailing list also
[19:24] <jediorder> brainwash, ok. i'll join that as well and post the feature request there, too. thanks!
[19:25] <brainwash> https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14046
[19:25] <brainwash> but no progress there
[19:29] <jediorder> ubottu, yeah, that's what it's called. night light mode.
[22:51] <xubuntuhelpme> hey guys, i've got a question. Im creating a live usb and it is asking me to set how much persistant data i want. how much should i make it?
[22:52] <xubuntuhelpme> it is a 1.87 gb pendrive, xubuntu weighs about 1.5gb
[22:55] <xubuntu42w> i accidentally disconnected
[22:56] <xubuntu42w> did someone answer?
[22:56] <JackFrost> Not yet.
[22:56] <JackFrost> But that's up to you, I guess.
