[04:29] <christian> Hi. I am have small problem when using Xubuntu. When I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 it shows command line interface but with yellow text. What should I Do to make the text in cli interfaces white again?
[04:46] <Bashing-om> Chaser: try from your terminal's task bar Edit -> Preferences -> Colors .
[16:54] <xu-help45w> hello, a question about 32bit versions from xubuntu. how long is a 32bit version available?
[16:55] <Unit193> Bionic was the last version, it was released in 2018 with three years of support.
[16:55] <xu-help45w> thx Unit193
[16:57] <Unit193> If at all possible, consider whether you can switch to a computer that's 64bit as 32bit will be less tested and things might start disappearing there.  You *may* want to consider Debian as it still supports 32bit, but...
[16:59] <xu-help45w> i try debian i386. thx
[17:00] <xu-help45w> the problem is that this computer is from a beginner and windows user... i hope he can use debian :-)
[17:05] <chaslinux> @xu-help45w If the person is a beginning user I tend to find out as much I can about what they're going to do with the computer, then I customize the distribution to suit them better. (e.g. dragging frequently used icons to the desktop, adding whatever games/software that might help them). Just dumping a stock Linux image, no matter the distro,
[17:05] <chaslinux> usually frustrates people. That said I had someone who was 85, spoke almost no English, and he was fine with Xubuntu because I customized it for him (larger panel, icons in the panel for Skype and other software he used... even added a flag in the right hand corner so he can switch between typing in Russian and English).
[17:07] <xu-help45w> @chaslinux right
[17:07] <xu-help45w> true
[17:09] <chaslinux> But yeah, *buntu's are nice for how easy some of the non-free stuff is to install...
[17:10] <xu-help45w> new lubuntu installed. grub boot fails...^^
[17:11] <xu-help45w> "attemp to read or write outside of disk hd0
[17:11] <xu-help45w> "
[17:11] <xu-help45w> i'm a archlinux user
[17:11] <xu-help45w> ^^
[17:11] <xu-help45w> distribution switching is not my pro
[17:12] <xu-help45w> my favorite boot loader is syslinux
[17:13] <xu-help45w> ok, usb boot device with debian is created, i try this now
[17:15] <Unit193> chaslinux: Indeed it can be easier in ways, I only approach it since Ubuntu isn't really an option for 32bit anymore.
[17:18] <xu-help45w> omg, the good old debian, it is over > 10 ago since i have installed debian
[17:18] <xu-help45w> years
[17:36] <xu-help45w> thx for helping me. bye
[17:49] <chaslinux> Yeah we used it years (2001-2004) ago as a base for our own custom distribution... I remember one of the first things we had to do was get the PS/2 mouse working... lol, fun times.
