[00:41] <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.
[00:42] <Trasp> If so, how would I go about it?

[01:47] <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
[01:48] <Trasp> fwiw...
[01:48] <Trasp> Has anyone else had this problem, and were you able to fix it?
[02:39] <gnoob> oh, that's seems weird.  Do you have the proprietary video drivers installed?  Maybe that would change things?
[02:44] <Trasp> Hm, good point
[02:45] <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
[02:46] <Trasp> wouldn't have thought of it
[02:46] <Trasp> bbl
[03:21] <elmero> hello. did anyone have login error loop in xubuntu 18.04 ? I can not  login
[04:37] <DarkTrick> @20.10: my app tells me "No module named PyQt5.QtCore". Package `pyqt5` cannot be found online. How would I fix this?
[04:50] <Trasp> DarkTrick: python-pyqt5
[04:51]  * DarkTrick tries it
[04:51] <Trasp> I mean, apt install python3-pyqt5
[04:51] <DarkTrick> Trasp, sure :)
[04:57] <Trasp> (Fwiw, drivers didn't make any difference but xss-lock + xsecurelock did a decent enough job of locking the screen.)
[05:02] <DarkTrick> Trasp, package not available
[05:02] <DarkTrick> Trasp, sorry, IS available
[05:03] <DarkTrick> I should learn to type "3"
[05:11] <Trasp> :)
[12:14] <xu-irc38w> hi . xubuntu shutdown when i run gui with terminal and write error -16
[13:11] <Fryziu|2> USB 3 mi nie działa :(
[13:15] <diogenes_> Fryziu|2, zobacz w BIOS czy jest opcja.

[15:09] <DarkTrick> anyone else here having `ghostwriter` on 20.04 ?
[15:09] <DarkTrick> I get a segfault trying to open
[17:37] <babu> anyone can tell me xubuntu repository?
[17:38] <babu> anyone can tell me xubuntu repository?
[17:38] <diogenes_> babu, it uses Ubuntu repos.
[17:40] <coconut> babu, cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:40] <babu> anyone can tell me xubuntu repository?
[17:42] <coconut> babu, what is the problem?
[17:46] <babu> i am unable to upgrade lucid
[17:46] <babu> it says no new version available
[17:47] <coconut> babu, then your version is EOL
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <babu> not not working
[17:50] <coconut> have you tried to manually changing the repo to ubuntu 12.04.5 lts repo?
[17:51] <coconut> 10.04.04 is old btw, even for an EOL system
[17:54] <babu> can you suggest any lightweight distro?
[17:55] <babu> my pc is 12 years old
[17:56] <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
[17:57] <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?
[17:58] <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
[18:02] <coconut> babu, maybe reading this article? (is around one year old) https://www.techradar.com/news/best-lightweight-linux-distro
[18:07] <babu> link is not working
[18:08] <mneptok> babu: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model\ name
[18:09] <babu> model 23 pentium duelcore
[18:09] <babu> T4200
[18:11] <coconut> babu, think you should at least stay away of gnome then
[18:12] <mneptok> the T4200 is x86_64
[18:12] <mneptok> not i686
[18:13] <mneptok> you can run an x86_64 build, but it has to be lightweight, given the RAM size. try Lubuntu.
[18:14] <babu> and swap size to provide
[18:15] <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.
[18:16] <mneptok> LXqt not LXDE. still more resource conscious than Xubuntu.
[18:16] <babu> so which distro is available now for me
[18:17] <mneptok> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/20.04/release/lubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[18:21] <babu> so any lightweight 64 bit os will work on my pc right?
[18:22] <tomreyn> any common linux distro with a light-weight desktop should, yes
[18:23] <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> ;-)
[18:24] <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?
[18:25] <gnoob> 9.5GB?
[18:27] <tomreyn> roughly 10, i'd guess
[18:27] <pmjdebruijn> babu: bensunlabs might be an option too
[18:28] <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)
[18:29] <babu> actually currently i am desparately looking for a alternatively option
[18:30] <gnoob> thanks
[18:30] <gnoob> someone told me linux lite was a nice OS
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <pmjdebruijn> babu: not sure what you mean, bunsenlabs is just another distro like any other
[18:32] <tomreyn> https://distrowatch.com/search.php
[18:33] <gnoob> pmjdebruijn: probably safe to assume that.
[18:33] <babu> :)
[18:33] <babu> ok now tell me what is pae?
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <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 :)
[18:36] <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
[18:37] <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
[18:41] <babu> thanks
[23:15] <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.
[23:23] <gnoob> Looks like I had to boot a live image.
[23:23] <gnoob> then use that to resize the partition
