| Trasp | So, I installed xubuntu and apparantly Xfce has its own screensaver now. Took me a solid minute to make it glitch so that I can see what was up on the screen. Can I replace it with xscreensaver? Single user using the system, so I have no need for user switching. | 00:41 |
|---|---|---|
| Trasp | If so, how would I go about it? | 00:42 |

| Trasp | So, apparantly, closing the lid and causing the display to power off will cause a glitch so that you can see what was up on the screen before it was locked. Only one of my two laptops here seems be affected for some reason | 01:47 |
| Trasp | Doesn't matter if I use xscreensaver (that keeps crashing anyway) or xfce4-screensaver | 01:47 |
| Trasp | fwiw... | 01:48 |
| Trasp | Has anyone else had this problem, and were you able to fix it? | 01:48 |
| gnoob | oh, that's seems weird. Do you have the proprietary video drivers installed? Maybe that would change things? | 02:39 |
| Trasp | Hm, good point | 02:44 |
| Trasp | I wonder how that could cause some race condition, if that's what's going on here (guessing really), but defenitely worth a try | 02:45 |
| Trasp | wouldn't have thought of it | 02:46 |

| elmero | hello. did anyone have login error loop in xubuntu 18.04 ? I can not login | 03:21 |
| DarkTrick | @20.10: my app tells me "No module named PyQt5.QtCore". Package `pyqt5` cannot be found online. How would I fix this? | 04:37 |
| Trasp | DarkTrick: python-pyqt5 | 04:50 |
| * DarkTrick tries it | 04:51 | |
| Trasp | I mean, apt install python3-pyqt5 | 04:51 |
| DarkTrick | Trasp, sure :) | 04:51 |
| Trasp | (Fwiw, drivers didn't make any difference but xss-lock + xsecurelock did a decent enough job of locking the screen.) | 04:57 |
| DarkTrick | Trasp, package not available | 05:02 |
| DarkTrick | Trasp, sorry, IS available | 05:02 |
| DarkTrick | I should learn to type "3" | 05:03 |
| Trasp | :) | 05:11 |

| DarkTrick | anyone else here having `ghostwriter` on 20.04 ? | 15:09 |
| DarkTrick | I get a segfault trying to open | 15:09 |
| babu | anyone can tell me xubuntu repository? | 17:37 |
| babu | anyone can tell me xubuntu repository? | 17:38 |
| diogenes_ | babu, it uses Ubuntu repos. | 17:38 |
| coconut | babu, cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:40 |
| babu | anyone can tell me xubuntu repository? | 17:40 |
| coconut | babu, what is the problem? | 17:42 |
| babu | i am unable to upgrade lucid | 17:46 |
| babu | it says no new version available | 17:46 |
| coconut | babu, then your version is EOL | 17:47 |
| coconut | babu, you would need to manually change your sources.list to one LTS version higher than you have now. | 17:48 |
| babu | yes that's why i am trying to upgrade to next lts | 17:48 |
| babu | not not working | 17:49 |
| coconut | have you tried to manually changing the repo to ubuntu 12.04.5 lts repo? | 17:50 |
| coconut | 10.04.04 is old btw, even for an EOL system | 17:51 |
| babu | can you suggest any lightweight distro? | 17:54 |
| babu | my pc is 12 years old | 17:55 |
| mneptok | what CPU? how much RAM? disk size? | 17:56 |
| babu | and they are not supporting x86 anymore | 17:56 |
| babu | x86 cpu 3 gb ram and 320gb hdd | 17:56 |
| coconut | babu, i don't think i am as precise the other here, but probably latest LTS of xubuntu or ubuntu-mate | 17:57 |
| coconut | *others | 17:57 |
| mneptok | babu: are you on Xubuntu now? | 17:57 |
| coconut | oh... then you need a distro which still support x86 | 17:58 |
| babu | which one | 17:58 |
| mneptok | babu: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model\ name | 17:58 |
| babu | is best for programming | 17:58 |
| coconut | babu, maybe reading this article? (is around one year old) https://www.techradar.com/news/best-lightweight-linux-distro | 18:02 |
| babu | link is not working | 18:07 |
| mneptok | babu: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model\ name | 18:08 |
| babu | model 23 pentium duelcore | 18:09 |
| babu | T4200 | 18:09 |
| coconut | babu, think you should at least stay away of gnome then | 18:11 |
| mneptok | the T4200 is x86_64 | 18:12 |
| mneptok | not i686 | 18:12 |
| mneptok | you can run an x86_64 build, but it has to be lightweight, given the RAM size. try Lubuntu. | 18:13 |
| babu | and swap size to provide | 18:14 |
| tomreyn | i think lubuntu shifted to a new WM with 20.04 which is not light-weight anymore. | 18:15 |
| tomreyn | so maybe i3 or something instead. | 18:15 |
| mneptok | LXqt not LXDE. still more resource conscious than Xubuntu. | 18:16 |
| babu | so which distro is available now for me | 18:16 |
| mneptok | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/20.04/release/lubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 18:17 |
| babu | so any lightweight 64 bit os will work on my pc right? | 18:21 |
| tomreyn | any common linux distro with a light-weight desktop should, yes | 18:22 |
| gnoob | it sounds like that is the consensus. the link coconut posted seems interesting. | 18:23 |
| tomreyn | you're just trying to trick babu into actually reading it! | 18:23 |
| tomreyn | ;-) | 18:23 |
| gnoob | I even skimmed it and it was not my question. What's wrong with me?? | 18:24 |
| coconut | think tomreyn has a good advise with i3 (Regolith if you want ubuntu repo) for a lightweight distro. But you have to like it... | 18:24 |
| babu | tomreyn, no i am reading | 18:24 |
| gnoob | how much space does a standard xubuntu install take? | 18:24 |
| gnoob | 9.5GB? | 18:25 |
| tomreyn | roughly 10, i'd guess | 18:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | babu: bensunlabs might be an option too | 18:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | but that's debian based, not ubuntu | 18:28 |
| coconut | dunno, haven't checked (and i made my ubuntu mate parition ultra big with 119GB) | 18:28 |
| babu | actually currently i am desparately looking for a alternatively option | 18:29 |
| gnoob | thanks | 18:30 |
| gnoob | someone told me linux lite was a nice OS | 18:30 |
| pmjdebruijn | if it's also XFCE based, it's probably just as heavy as xubuntu ? | 18:31 |
| babu | is bensenlab for lab :) | 18:31 |
| pmjdebruijn | and it looks less polished than xubuntu | 18:31 |
| pmjdebruijn | babu: not sure what you mean, bunsenlabs is just another distro like any other | 18:32 |
| tomreyn | https://distrowatch.com/search.php | 18:32 |
| gnoob | pmjdebruijn: probably safe to assume that. | 18:33 |
| babu | :) | 18:33 |
| babu | ok now tell me what is pae? | 18:33 |
| pmjdebruijn | the main issue is of course, that the main big applications that are "heavy" cannot be replaced, like firefox/chromium/libreoffice | 18:34 |
| babu | helium/i386. no PAE | 18:34 |
| pmjdebruijn | because you just end up with something that's nonfunctional | 18:34 |
| pmjdebruijn | babu: PAE means >4GB memory support | 18:34 |
| pmjdebruijn | or 3.2GB, I don't recall exactly | 18:34 |
| pmjdebruijn | PAE has a architectural "hack" to Intel could put off implementing 64bit | 18:35 |
| pmjdebruijn | was* | 18:35 |
| pmjdebruijn | then AMD showed them how it's done :) | 18:35 |
| pmjdebruijn | babu: bunsenlabs is very lightweight, but it doesn't have a "desktop" like people these days think of it, it's just a panel and window manager | 18:36 |
| pmjdebruijn | but if you're strapped for RAM, it might just be great | 18:36 |
| Celso | model name: AMD Sempron(tm) 145 Processor | 18:36 |
| pmjdebruijn | babu: you might also want to look into zram/zswap, not sure if it'll help or hurt you, but it might be worth to try | 18:37 |
| babu | thanks | 18:41 |
| gnoob | I want to increase the size of my partition. I have empty space on another blank partition. How do I do this? It's a Virtuabox machine - FYI. | 23:15 |
| gnoob | Looks like I had to boot a live image. | 23:23 |
| gnoob | then use that to resize the partition | 23:23 |
