[01:01] <neveraskwhy> What's up people
[01:12] <teward> neveraskwhy: hi!  This is the Lubuntu Support channel, if you have a support question or need help with something Lubuntu related, feel free to ask here!  Otherwise, general chitchat is in #lubuntu-offtopic if you just want to chat :)
[02:09] <meway> lubuntu will not install in my leonovo laptop.
[02:10] <meway> reserach says sdram ? are they planning on patching or fixing this?
[02:45] <guiverc> meway, sdram??   how old is the box?  sdram was replaced by ddr back in IBM days (before thinpads were sold to lenovo)
[02:53] <meway> svram*
[02:54] <meway> ? maybe
[02:54] <meway> something to do with the ram lol
[02:56] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> guiverc: DDR SDRAM = DDR memory
[02:57] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> "Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory, officially abbreviated as DDR SDRAM" ... "DDR SDRAM, also retroactively called DDR1 SDRAM, has been superseded by DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3 SDRAM, DDR4 SDRAM and DDR5 SDRAM"  (source: wikipedia)

[10:45] <lubot> [telegram] <alamutfedaisi> hey guys
[10:45] <lubot> [telegram] <alamutfedaisi> my pc heats a lot when im using lubuntu
[10:45] <lubot> [telegram] <alamutfedaisi> i also have windows 7 installed on my harddrive
[10:48] <lubot> [telegram] <alamutfedaisi> would it help if I used thermal paste

[15:17] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> @alamutfedaisi thermal paste is only for the CPU and GPU contacts with the heatsink inside your system, so no thermal paste wouldn't help.  I don't have the knowledge or expertise to troubleshoot the heating up part unfortunately, but I can tell you at least thermal paste isn't going to solve your problem of your computer heating up.
[15:18] <lubot> [telegram] <alamutfedaisi> :/ thanks (re @teward001: @alamutfedaisi thermal paste is only for the CPU and GPU contacts with the heatsink inside your system, so no thermal paste wouldn't help.

[16:18] <lubot> [telegram] <alamutfedaisi> does it affect battery usage? (re @alamutfedaisi: i also have windows 7 installed on my harddrive)
[17:06] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> having windows 7 installed on the system alongside Ubuntu doesn't have any effect on temp or battery usage.  But Lubuntu (and Ubuntu in general) tends to be a little heavier on the battery usage than Windows is.

[17:19] <lubot> [telegram] <alamutfedaisi> i get it (re @teward001: having windows 7 installed on the system alongside Ubuntu doesn't have any effect on temp or battery usage.  But Lubuntu (and Ubuntu in general) tends to be a little heavier on the battery usage than Windows is.)

[21:27] <GC-BCN> Greetings. I would like to have some help with a ramdom freeze I have with my Lubuntu 18.04
[21:29] <GC-BCN> At every session when I Login at my laptop PC, I manage to navigate in the applications, usually thunderbird and Chrome, for a couple of minutes, then  whole pc hangs. Nothing responds, not Alt+Ctr+F1 or REISUB.
[21:31] <GC-BCN> I tried to look at information in the Kernel,log or in the joournal, but I didn't find any useful information.
[21:33] <GC-BCN> I observed that if I use the PC from the terminal opened wth CTR+ALT+F1 I can work for longer, but eventually the system crashes as well, especially if I am updating with "sudo apt-get update/upgrade"
[21:34] <wxl> are you particularly limited on resources?
[21:35] <GC-BCN> I have sufficient DDR memory,750MB, and HDD with swap space. In fact, the swap disk is not used at all
[21:36] <wxl> for chrome and thunderbird, that's not very much memory at all
[21:36] <wxl> i mean that's not very much for either of them XD
[21:36] <wxl> they both tend to gobble up ram like crazy too
[21:37] <GC-BCN> Ok
[21:37] <GC-BCN> however, the PC hangs even though I'm not using them becaseu it happens also when Iḿ using the terminal in VGA mode
[21:38] <GC-BCN> this means not even logging in in the Lubuntu area, just using the kernel with CTL+ALT+F1
[21:40] <wxl> well i mean you're still running the xserver at that point so it's not like you're just using the kernel
[21:40] <wxl> still that shouldn't require much
[21:41] <GC-BCN> that is true
[21:41] <wxl> but i'd probably watch how your system resources are being used with e.g. `htop` to see if there are any clues
[21:41] <wxl> normally i'd expect such inexplicable behavior to be indicative of a hardware failure but not seeing any information in the journal is interesting
[21:42] <GC-BCN> Ok, I try
[21:42] <GC-BCN> if you see me  no longer on line, it is because the PC hanged
[21:43] <GC-BCN> I'm using now 400 of 750MB of RAM, 0 SWAP space
[21:44] <wxl> assuming it dies again you may want to try a memtest just as a basic diagnostic
[21:46] <GC-BCN> Yes, I did that and I left it running for some hours to no avail. I didn't fail.
[21:46] <GC-BCN> It looks like the hang happens mainly when there are calls to the net
[21:47] <GC-BCN> however, I could not find any link to justify there is something wrong with the driver.
[21:47] <wxl> might go post something on askubuntu
[21:48] <GC-BCN> Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that
[21:48] <GC-BCN> Cheers
