| MLitty | Hello. I've a laptop of an age that the touch pad does not support gestures. It's a Toughbook CF-31mk1. Is there a way to map xconfig so that I can use a modifying key along with the touchpad to simulate a scroll wheel? SOmething like shift+pushing up on the pad = scroll up and vis versa? | 02:59 |
|---|---|---|
| MLitty | I'm not necessarilly looking for a full-on how-to here. I'm just not sure how to search for such a thing on google. If you could point me to some form of instruction, I'd be grateful. | 03:00 |
| xu-irc23w | Hello? | 07:31 |
| xu-irc23w | Well I came here for a question on if I should use this distro or not. | 07:33 |
| JackFrost | I guess only you can really answer that? | 07:33 |
| xu-irc23w | Sure. | 07:34 |
| xu-irc23w | What Linux distro should I install to my Lenovo Ideapad 320-15IAP? I want something that will make it run fast, with no trade off to bad graphics. Here are the details of the laptop: | 07:34 |
| xu-irc23w | Standing screen display size 15.6 Inches | 07:34 |
| xu-irc23w | Processor 1.1 GHz Atom_N550 | 07:34 |
| xu-irc23w | RAM 4 GB | 07:34 |
| xu-irc23w | Hard Drive 1 TB 1TB 5,400 RPM | 07:34 |
| JackFrost | Atom is a bit underpowered, but pretty much your browser is going to be the real hog. Xfce pretty much just gets out of your way, though. | 07:36 |
| xu-irc23w | Atom linux? | 07:45 |
| JackFrost | Your processor, it's intel atom. | 07:46 |
| xu-irc23w | Sorry I didn't read my message | 07:46 |
| xu-irc23w | So xubuntu would work? | 07:46 |
| xu-irc23w | Is KDE also an option? | 07:46 |
| JackFrost | Xubuntu should work, yes. I have something very close to Xubuntu on crappier hardware. In the past, KDE has used more memory but you have 4G so that should help, like I said the browser is going to be the hog these days, no matter what desktop. | 07:47 |
| xu-irc23w | Ok. Not really a question related much to xubuntu, but if I wanted to install Kali Linux (for school purposes), I would need to dual-boot. Does xubuntu come with GParted natively? | 07:49 |
| xu-irc23w | Gparted* | 07:49 |
| JackFrost | Gparted is on the live media last I knew, yeah. When you install the system I think it might be removed, but you can install it back. | 07:50 |
| JackFrost | And yeah kali is another distro, there may be a way to customize it to be better used as a desktop too, but I haven't looked into that. | 07:50 |
| xu-irc23w | I am really only using it for my security classes and not for everyday use. | 07:51 |
| xu-irc23w | So were you saying that if I installed xubuntu first, then kali that I would have to reinstall kali? | 07:52 |
| xu-irc23w | xubuntu* (instead of kali for the last one) | 07:52 |

| JackFrost | Grub should be pretty good at detecting other installations, you'll want your primary desktop managing the bootloader though. | 07:55 |
| Samuel | Grub can be installed through the xubuntu installation correct (I know dumb quesiton, but just for confirmation), | 07:56 |
| JackFrost | Yeah, it's installed at the end. | 07:59 |
| Samuel | Ok thanks! Cleared up some things. I will install xubuntu shortly. Sorry for the rude review earlier. Have a good/night day, JackFrost. | 08:00 |
| piscvau | Hello, I ust installed xubuntu 20.04 . when I click on the shutdown button in the top left icon menu, the shutdown and restart button are gry. How to solve this? | 12:07 |
| piscvau | Hello, I just installed xubuntu 20.04 . when I click on the shutdown button in the top left icon menu, the shutdown and restart button are grey. How to solve this? | 12:08 |
| piscvau | after googling it might be related to the fact that when I installed Xubuntu I chose not to have a password when starting the system. | 12:23 |
| piscvau | does this help identifying a solution? | 12:23 |
