| xu-help50w | hi | 05:08 |
| xu-help50w | im looking for help in figuring out which version of xubuntu to download 32 or 64 bit | 05:09 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help50w, 64 bit is recommended. | 05:11 |
| bernardo | my version is 32bits | 05:12 |
| bernardo | thanks for your help, it was solved | 05:13 |
| bernardo | Thank you so much | 05:14 |
| xu-help50w | it's an old computer, maybe 15 years | 05:15 |
| xu-help50w | currently running windows vista 32 bit, but don't know if that because it couldn't run the 64 bit or because i pressed the wrong button installing it | 05:17 |
| bernardo | no, it is a computer from 2 years ago, but the only version of xubuntu that I had on hand was 32 bits | 05:17 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help50w, what CPU? | 05:18 |
| xu-help50w | bernardo, i think maybe we're asking the same question here | 05:18 |
| bernardo | amd | 05:18 |
| xu-help50w | intel core 2 duo t7300 | 05:19 |
| diogenes_ | Intel® 64 ‡ Yes | 05:20 |
| diogenes_ | Instruction Set 64-bit | 05:20 |
| bernardo | friends, thanks for your help. Here in Chile it is 1AM, tomorrow I must open my store and I must go to sleep. thanks for your wisdom. good night or day to everyone | 05:21 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help50w, your CPU can run 64 bit. | 05:21 |
| xu-help50w | great, thank you diogenes_ | 05:22 |
| diogenes_ | you're welcome. | 05:22 |
| * ball installs Xubuntu ...again | 05:54 | |
| xu-help27w | im running xubuntu from usb. I've just installed webcamoid, but it won't launch. Any advice please? | 06:00 |
| ball | What is a webcamoid? | 06:00 |
| tomreyn | !info webcamoid | 06:01 |
| ubottu | Package webcamoid does not exist in bionic | 06:01 |
| xu-help27w | it's a webcam suite for viewing my camera https://webcamoid.github.io/ | 06:02 |
| tomreyn | hmm it actually does exist in bionic/universe | 06:02 |
| ball | Does it need certain specific webcams? | 06:04 |
| xu-help27w | on a different computer i'm running ubuntu and it used the inbuilt camera, there's an option to switch if more are available | 06:05 |
| ball | Hmm... ok | 06:06 |
| kryten | tomreyn: Funnily enough, it worked in PM now.. >_> | 06:06 |
| tomreyn | run it from a terminal, this may provide output hinting on why it wont run | 06:07 |
| kryten | !info webcamoid | 06:07 |
| ubottu | webcamoid (source: webcamoid): full featured webcam capture application. In component universe, is optional. Version 8.1.0+dfsg-7 (bionic), package size 565 kB, installed size 1154 kB | 06:07 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help27w, why not using guvcview? | 06:07 |
| tomreyn | kryten: maybe it's the 500 error packages.u.c. keeps throwing on the first non-cached request | 06:08 |
| tomreyn | for a year or so now | 06:08 |
| xu-help27w | literally just enter the command webcamoid | 06:08 |
| xu-help27w | ? | 06:08 |
| tomreyn | xu-help27w: probably, yes. i don't know what's the proper command to run it, but it's likely just that | 06:09 |
| xu-help27w | diogenes_ just because I googled webcam apps and this one was the most reccomended | 06:09 |
| xu-help27w | segmentation fault (core dumped) | 06:10 |
| tomreyn | maybe this makes it less recommendable | 06:10 |
| xu-help27w | is it because I'm running of usb instead of a fully installed version of xbuntu? | 06:11 |
| tomreyn | which xubuntu version is this, is it fully updated? | 06:11 |
| kryten | tomreyn: Since it doesn't call packages.u.c for this though, but rather use a dedicated APT cache for each version it supports, I'm more thinking the latter was out of date or erroneous or something. | 06:12 |
| kryten | Anyway... | 06:12 |
| tomreyn | oh ok | 06:12 |
| xu-help27w | im not ignoring you, trying to figure out version | 06:13 |
| kryten | tomreyn: Seems I have more luck than you on using the site though. >_> | 06:14 |
| ball | I should probably leave this installation running overnight. | 06:15 |
| kryten | Overnight delivery! XD | 06:15 |
| xu-help27w | im going to say version 18.04.4 lts | 06:15 |
| tomreyn | kryten: hmm i can't seem to trigger any 500's also right now. and the site is unusually fast, too. | 06:16 |
| tomreyn | xu-help27w: so is this a proper installation you wrote to a usb stick or is it an installer image written to a usb stick? | 06:17 |
| xu-help27w | i downloaded the .iso and then wrote it to the usb | 06:18 |
| tomreyn | i see. you'll better install properly then. | 06:19 |
| xu-help27w | why isn't that properly? | 06:19 |
| xu-help27w | i used disk image writer | 06:20 |
| tomreyn | it's stuck on the kernel version it was on when it released. software updates only "install" to a RAM disk. if you run out of RAM the file system becomes unreliable. | 06:20 |
| xu-help27w | what does that mean? | 06:21 |
| tomreyn | that you should install properly | 06:21 |
| xu-help27w | my bootable usb has been made incorrectly or I need to dive in and just install to the hard drive? | 06:22 |
| tomreyn | you should use the installer usb stick you created to install to the hard disk or some other (may be removable) storage which you'll then boot off | 06:22 |
| ball | Ah if only it would fit on an Iomega Zip disk! ;-) | 06:23 |
| xu-help27w | even this computer isn't old enough for a zip drive | 06:24 |
| xu-help27w | im booting from usb now. Should I restart to install, or can I use the option from within xubuntu? | 06:24 |
| ball | xu-help27w: Does the computer have a hard disk or SSD that you don't mind wiping? | 06:25 |
| ball | (no document files on it) | 06:25 |
| ball | (no photos or important software?) | 06:25 |
| xu-help27w | I was hoping to test that linux was working for me before committing to wipe | 06:26 |
| xu-help27w | can i upload images here? | 06:26 |
| tomreyn | !screenshot | 06:27 |
| ubottu | Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imgur.com/ and link the created page here. | 06:27 |
| xu-help27w | no, I want to show you a connector on the laptop so you can tell me what it does so I can find out if i'm correct | 06:28 |
| ball | I think my installation's nearly done! | 06:28 |
| tomreyn | so take a photo and uploasd it and post the link to where you uploaded it | 06:29 |
| * ball predicts it's the laptop's belly button. | 06:29 | |
| tomreyn | running journalctl -b | grep DMI: should report which laptop model and firmware you have there | 06:30 |
| ball | This computer sort of needs a case. | 06:30 |
| tomreyn | looks like you just made a case for a case. | 06:31 |
| tomreyn | now get the ball rolling, ball. | 06:31 |
| xu-help27w | https://imgur.com/a/IlCLytT | 06:37 |
| ball | tomreyn: Can't afford it. | 06:37 |
| xu-help27w | sorry for the delay, computers and i are not friends currently | 06:37 |
| xu-help27w | what's the one on the left? | 06:38 |
| ball | Line in? | 06:38 |
| ball | Might be line out, let me check. | 06:38 |
| xu-help27w | what kind of line? | 06:38 |
| tomreyn | audio | 06:38 |
| tomreyn | all of these three are about audio | 06:38 |
| ball | 1V peak-peak analogue audio. | 06:38 |
| ball | the headphone jack apparently also supports digital out, perhaps optical. | 06:39 |
| ball | (check the manual) | 06:39 |
| xu-help27w | ugh, I was hoping i could use it to connect my webcam, which has RCA cables | 06:39 |
| ball | xu-help27w: None of these are video. | 06:39 |
| xu-help27w | ah crap! | 06:40 |
| ball | I'm told blue is line in. | 06:40 |
| ball | Green is supposedly line out but I've seen it used more for headphone and speaker jacks (same concept but different Voltage levels) | 06:41 |
| ball | For a camera with composite video output, you'd need a video capture card/device with composite video in. | 06:42 |
| ball | What sort of camera is it? | 06:42 |
| ball | The video capture device is likely to cost more than a replacement camera unless you have very special camera needs. | 06:43 |
| ball | (e.g. microscope, night vision, CCTV etc.) | 06:43 |
| ball | Does your camera have a microphone built in? | 06:43 |
| xu-help27w | similar to this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017HRO36?tag=httpwwwfuadph-20 | 06:45 |
| xu-help27w | yes, it has a microphone | 06:45 |
| xu-help27w | colour and ir | 06:45 |
| xu-help27w | you can get cheap video capture things, but not tomorrow. I had hoped to bypass by using another laptop | 06:46 |
| xu-help27w | but wrong connectors ;( | 06:46 |
| * ball waits for the page to load... | 06:47 | |
| ball | ...and waits... | 06:49 |
| ali1234 | analog usb video capture is very cheap | 06:50 |
| ball | ali1234: I have one beside me but that's PCI iirc. | 06:50 |
| ball | Not sure how well it performs. | 06:51 |
| xu-help27w | from an actual store, or just when buying online? I've been quoted $50cad | 06:51 |
| ali1234 | china special on ebay will cost you about 10 dollars | 06:51 |
| xu-help27w | but can't have it tomorrow | 06:51 |
| ali1234 | analog capture is always rubbish though | 06:51 |
| ball | ali1234: Sometimes it's intentionally rubbish though. | 06:52 |
| ball | Still, you'd plug the yellow cable into your video capture interface and the white one into the left channel channel of the blue connector. | 06:54 |
| ball | ...and I think the red there is just to power the camera. | 06:54 |
| ali1234 | no | 06:54 |
| ball | You'd need some video capture software. | 06:54 |
| ball | slickymaster: no what? | 06:54 |
| ali1234 | yellow is composite video, red and white are stereo audio | 06:55 |
| ball | ali1234: The red shown isn't an RCA jack. | 06:55 |
| ball | ...and I doubt it has a stereo mic. | 06:55 |
| ball | rca plug* | 06:55 |
| ali1234 | well then, don't try to plug it into a standard capture card | 06:55 |
| ball | ali1234: No, that's probably a DC barrel connector | 06:56 |
| ball | (to power the camera) | 06:56 |
| xu-help27w | red is power | 06:56 |
| * ball nods | 06:56 | |
| * ball tries to remember the EIA/CCIR mono standards... | 06:56 | |
| ali1234 | https://www.amazon.ca/Capture-Device-Adapter-Converter-Support/dp/B00S7ZELXC/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=usb+video+capture&qid=1586761067&sr=8-14 | 06:58 |
| ball | xu-help27w: What country are you in? | 06:58 |
| xu-help27w | canada | 06:58 |
| ali1234 | the same one is $5 on aliexpress | 06:58 |
| ali1234 | (USD) | 06:58 |
| ball | ali1234: How much is a 400-line USB video capture thinggy these days? | 07:04 |
| ali1234 | what do you mean by 400 line? | 07:04 |
| ball | ali1234: Captures both fields and presents the computer with one 400-line image per frame (30 per second) | 07:08 |
| ball | Years ago, cheaper models captures one field and threw the other away, resulting in 200-line scans. | 07:09 |
| ball | Hopefully those are no longer a thing. | 07:10 |
| ali1234 | seems pointles, it would just be doing nothing for one field... probably a USB bandwidth limitation | 07:10 |
| ball | ...that and it saved having to buffer both fields. | 07:11 |
| ali1234 | i dont know of any that can do true framegrabbing except the domesday duplicator, that costs about $500 and you have to build it yourself | 07:12 |
| * ball is on the Domesday Discs :-) | 07:13 | |
| xu-help27w | well i'm feeling defeated. thanks for all your help, i'm going to go and cry myself to sleep now | 07:16 |
| ball | CCIR System M. | 07:16 |
| ball | xu-help27w: We're not done with you yet. | 07:16 |
| ball | ;-) | 07:16 |
| ball | ali1234: Have you seen any USB 3 video capture devices or are they all USB 2? | 07:19 |
| ali1234 | yeah, domesday duplicator | 07:19 |
| ali1234 | but really that is just a high speed daq | 07:19 |
| ball | To install a .deb file on Xubuntu, would I just double-click it and follow the software centre's prompts? | 07:21 |
| * ball tries it. | 07:21 | |
| tomreyn | ideally you'd rather look for an apt repository that's compatible to your xubuntu release and provides this package, and use this repository, so you'll have an upgrade path. | 07:45 |
| * ball nods | 07:51 | |
| ball | In this case I don't think that was an option but that's ok, it worked. | 07:51 |
| ball | Handy to know for future reference though. | 07:51 |
| tomreyn | you can also apt install /path/to/packagefile.deb | 07:52 |
| ball | Thanks tomreyn | 07:54 |

| diogenes_ | victor55, to disable postresql sevices. | 15:08 |
| victor55 | How to disable them please? | 15:09 |
| diogenes_ | victor55, sudo systemctl disable postgresql@9.3-main && sudo systemctl disable postgresql@9.5-main && sudo systemctl disable postgresql@10-main && sudo systemctl mask postgresql@9.3-main && sudo systemctl mask postgresql@9.5-main && sudo systemctl mask postgresql@10-main | 15:11 |

| victor55 | Is it ok for you ? | 15:13 |
| diogenes_ | looks good reboot. | 15:13 |
| TDO|Denton | Um. Why was the service active in the first place? | 16:07 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> postgresql is a database server. it's not installed by default, so *someone* must have installed it (maybe you?). | 16:41 |
| tomreyn | <victor55> Yes maybe a long time ago | 16:41 |

| xubuntu-new-user | what is system requirments for xubuntu ? | 17:55 |
| diogenes_ | !xubuntu | 18:00 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with !Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at https://xubuntu.org/ - To install the Xubuntu environment from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop^ » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !xubuntu-channels | 18:00 |

| ubottu | The hardware requirements for Xubuntu can be found at http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ | 18:03 |
| diogenes_ | or here: https://xubuntu.org/requirements/ | 18:03 |
| xubuntu-new-user | will it run faster than kubuntu with kde ? | 18:04 |
| xubuntu-new-user | in same laptop | 18:04 |
| diogenes_ | absolutely | 18:06 |
| xubuntu-new-user | what about softwares ? | 18:31 |
| xubuntu-new-user | is the software publication is the same as kubuntu, ubuntu ? | 18:31 |
| kryten | xubuntu-new-user: All Ubuntu flavors share the same software repositories, so yes. | 18:33 |
| xubuntu-new-user | how can I check if there is full translation of the dekstop to my local language ? | 18:35 |
| kryten | Depends a bit on which one that is exactly, but every one could technically be tested on a Live medium (installation image). | 18:41 |

| ubottu | zram-config (source: zram-config): Upstart job to enable zram support. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5 (bionic), package size 4 kB, installed size 54 kB | 21:49 |

| brainwash | no idea | 21:50 |
| brainwash | and no idea why you have it installed in the first place | 21:50 |
| brainwash | I don't think it's part of a default installation | 21:50 |
| brainwash | to make sure you could ask in #ubuntu | 21:51 |
| tomreyn | zram-config is in universe, certainly not installed by default | 22:08 |
| kryten | Heh, comparing the two initial pastes from here and #lubuntu where they crossposted to, its obvious they doctored the output to say "xubuntu" and "lubuntu" respectively - the latter of which zram-config is indeed installed on by default. Just the timing of both the pastes and the postings is actually the other way around. >_> | 22:32 |
| TheCoolest[m] | Hey, I'm having issues with WiFi. | 23:23 |
| TheCoolest[m] | While it shows connected, the internet cuts out randomly until I disconnect and reconnect. This is not an issue on any other device of mine. | 23:23 |
| TheCoolest[m] | Also I use Privoxy and I don't know if that could have something to do with it | 23:24 |
| TheCoolest[m] | I think I've narrowed it down to ath10k firmware but I'm confused at any ways I find for trying to fix it | 23:41 |
