[02:59] <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?
[03:00] <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.
[07:31] <xu-irc23w> Hello?
[07:33] <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?
[07:34] <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
[07:36] <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.
[07:45] <xu-irc23w> Atom linux?
[07:46] <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?
[07:47] <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.
[07:49] <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*
[07:50] <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.
[07:51] <xu-irc23w> I am really only using it for my security classes and not for everyday use.
[07:52] <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)
[07:55] <JackFrost> Grub should be pretty good at detecting other installations, you'll want your primary desktop managing the bootloader though.
[07:56] <Samuel> Grub can be installed through the xubuntu installation correct (I know dumb quesiton, but just for confirmation),
[07:59] <JackFrost> Yeah, it's installed at the end.
[08:00] <Samuel> Ok thanks! Cleared up some things. I will install xubuntu shortly. Sorry for the rude review earlier. Have a good/night day, JackFrost.
[12:07] <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?
[12:08] <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?
[12:23] <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?
