cbreakso... rsync or scp it?00:00
cbreakno idea if you have those tools on windows00:01
cbreakgot the microsoft linux-on-windows thing? what ever they called it00:01
cbreakWSL2 or something00:01
Drew_Neilsonyeah it started with connecting via the Windows Subsystem for Linux, but then I started using PuTTY and so now I guess that this issue is a hybrid of WSL + PuTTY + Ubuntu Server.00:08
Drew_NeilsonRegardless, I don't think I have enough energy to continue doing this today. I'm gonna have to try again tomorrow morning.00:09

lolipophello00:29
lolipopim looking for a linux systeme admin for help please00:30
Bashing-omlolipop: State your issue and if one knows will respond :D00:31
lolipopcoll thank you00:31
lolipopcool*00:31
lolipopso , i have this macbook pro laptop from 2011 , the gpu is AMD and it dead , i tried to install ubuntu 20.04 on it , i did change the grub config to make it work withe intel based Gpu , all worked well for me ,00:33
lolipopafter the reboot , the problem goes again00:33
lolipopi tried to make changes to the 10_linux file in grub.d , i did modify the etc/default File too00:35
HashBashing-om: alright man00:35
Hashthanks00:35
HashI think I used to have a bridge br0 and when I reinstalled 22.04 over 20 I think it overwrote my netplan00:35
HashI can setup a bridge and add soem ifaces to it00:35
HashThen if you bring the bridge up down, should restart networking?00:35
Bashing-omlolipop: "change the grub config" what and where did you make this edit ? Most often a change in a grub scrip requires ' sudo update-grub ' to propagate a change.00:36
HashBasically I got stupid and put some post-up rules in /etc/network/interfaces and too lazy to take them out and put em in a firewall script00:36
HashAnd I edit post-up rules in /etc/network/interfaces and then my stupid buttt nees to restart networking00:36
HashI should really stop being lazy and take out the rules from there and put elsewhere'00:36
HashBut in the meantime, how do you bring face down/up or restart networking in ubuntu?00:37
lolipopupdate-grub did not work for me , because i get the /cow thing , because im editing as a guest user from a usb stick00:37
Hash(other than adding a bridge, which I'll do soon here one of these days)00:37
Bashing-omHash: Oh gosh - I expose my ignorance - I have no direct ecperience with VMs :(00:38
HashWell, even if in a vm or not in a vm00:38
HashHow to restart networking or bring iface up/down essentially00:38
HashI have tried all kinds of variations of ip and all kill connection and I'm on dedicated server so it becomes a task to login and restart server00:39
HashBut this isn't a vm though, it's well, I guess it is, vps.00:40
HashBut that doesn't matter, I think. Even if in a vps or dedi or whatever, still there's gotta be a way to restart networking etc.00:40
Hashwithout losing connection00:40
lolipophow can i run update-grub from a guest user without getting the /cow error00:40
Bashing-omlolipop: If you are in a live environment ( say install USB) then you can not as the RFC standard dictates that the medium is read only.00:42
lolipopi was able to make modifications to the grub files , using the sudo nano ,00:43
lolipopcan i run commands from the /usr path or /home path00:44
lolipoptbh im new to this linux thing , im used to use windows , easier and user friendly interface00:46
lolipopi need to get to the grub interface at the startup of the mac , i did make a biosGrub partition in my ubuntu installation , but i can't access it00:52
Bashing-omlolipop: I am right the oposite - I did not like Windows and found it very confusing to attempt to operate in . Linux -to me - is the more straight forward. OK to your issue - what file/where are you editing ?00:52
lolipopetc/default/grub00:55
lolipopetc/grub.d/10_linux00:56

Luxumburg111How01:42
Luxumburg111Whats the command01:42
Luxumburg111Also, Torbrowser wont open01:43
jhutchinsThe illusion of appimages is that they run easily and consistently anywhere.01:43
Luxumburg111It has a TorBrowser.desktop file01:43
Luxumburg111Yeah, they usually do jhutchins01:43
jhutchinsThe reality is that they fail consistently everywhere, and require a certain amount of background work to run at all.01:43

ubottuTor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en01:46

Guest67Hi, I'm considering using Fedora or Ubuntu, I'm liking Ubuntu because I think more software is pre-built for it. What are some advantages of Ubuntu vs Fedora?07:00
ThinkT510Guest67: what are you planning on using ubuntu for?07:03
Guest67Just a general OS07:03
ThinkT510any specific software you need running on it?07:04
Guest67I was having mega freezing frequently, almost making system un-usable, read that the OPen Source Nvidia driver couses that07:04
arraybolt3[m]Fedora delivers newer software, and is likely more unstable than Ubuntu. For a general OS, I07:04
arraybolt3[m]I'd go Ubuntu.07:04
Guest67Yeah07:04
Guest67I like Fedora but more software seems ot be precompiled for Ubuntu07:05
Guest67FEdora looks clan though07:05
Guest67clean07:05
Guest67My computer would freeze every 20,30 minutes or so though07:05
Guest67And I was about to re-install Windows07:05
Guest67But I think the issue was my GPU driver07:05
arraybolt3[m]Ubuntu gives you a fancy checkbox that lets you install the good GPU driver out of the starting gate.07:06
Guest67yeah07:06
Guest67Which one is good in your opinion07:06
Guest67the Opensource but glitch one or the proprietary and stable one07:06
Guest67I've switched to the proprietary and tested GPU driver, hoping it fixes the freezing issue I had07:06
arraybolt3[m]Proprietary one for sure.07:06
Guest67yeah, why though?07:07
Guest67Because of stability?07:07
arraybolt3[m]Because it makes the card's full features work.07:07
arraybolt3[m]You actually get good 3d acceleration.07:07
Guest67nice07:07
Guest67I was just trying to fix the constant freezing07:07
Guest67Since Im here! ;D07:08
Guest67What are some good Linux compatable laptops07:08
arraybolt3[m]It should probably help with that too.07:08
Guest67Laptops where all the hardware works, WIFI chip is recognized by the OS by default and I dont need to manually install the driver via USB etc07:08
Guest67I was using a super-cheap ASUS, it had great battery life07:08
Guest67But it was just too under-powered07:08
Guest67I need at least an i3,i507:09
arraybolt3[m]Almost anything will run Linux - some systems with Realtek WiFi may be tricky, Intel and Broadcom WiFi work fantastic for me. (As far as Wifi goes.)07:09
Guest67It was using below i3 CPU07:09
Guest67Are there GPU alternatives other than Nvidia/RTX07:09
Guest67Or is it only Intel Integrated, AMD integrated, Nvidia RTX?07:09
Guest67Is there another major GPU providor?07:09
Guest67Im considering if I should use Intel or AMD CPU, and Intel or AMD GPU07:09
arraybolt3[m]Those are pretty much the only three (though there's also AMD discrete).07:10
Guest67Is AMD discrete comparable to RTX?07:10
arraybolt3[m]AMD and Intel historically have the best Linux compatibility.07:10
Guest67What else is there?07:10
arraybolt3[m]https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html07:11

ravageit is off topic for this channel13:10
Drew_NeilsonRavage not necessarily... it's also about virtualization under Ubuntu13:10
WeeBeyI run all kinds of VMs on my Ubuntu. I imagine people do too for development. Just wondering if anyone had tried and succeeded.13:11

WeeBeyravage are you the type that when I mentioned a GTK bug that shipped with 22.04 , you'd tell me that it's off topic because GTK4 is not Ubuntu? lol13:13

Drew_NeilsonI installed Ubuntu Server on an old PC that no one was using because the Server version felt more appropriate for what I want to do with it and because I need for the OS to have minimal resource usage. However, I'm new to Ubuntu and so there is a learning curve. Can I upgrade Server to the desktop version of Ubuntu but make it so that it boots into13:48
Drew_NeilsonServer (with minimal resource usage) and only loads the desktop stuff (the GUI, etc) when I tell it to?13:48
Drew_NeilsonLike how with DOS + Windows 3.1, the PC would boot into DOS and you would open Windows by typing [Win] (without the brackets) at the command prompt13:49
ravageyou can install any desktop on the server version and disable the auto start of the window manager13:53
gordonjcpDrew_Neilson: yeah, you'd just need to install ubuntu-desktop13:54

Drew_NeilsonOn Ubuntu Server, what is the command to see what files and folders I have permission to change? I am the only user.14:59
Drew_NeilsonSecond question: can it be done via SSH?15:00
leftyfbDrew_Neilson: why?15:00
Drew_NeilsonBecause it's easier for me to do it via SSH than to unplug my mouse and keyboard from my main PC and plug them into this server, and then switch my AV receiver to the server for display.15:02
leftyfbDrew_Neilson: why do you need a list of thousands of file snd directories that your user has the ability to "change"?15:02
Drew_NeilsonBecause I've been unable to copy a folder from my main PC to this server. It says "permission denied" or something like that.15:04
leftyfbDrew_Neilson: what folder are you trying to copy and to what destination and for what purpose?15:04
Drew_NeilsonI'll paste the output of the terminal here.15:06

Drew_NeilsonThat is the output of the Windows Terminal, not using WSL but rather PuTTY to connect via psftp.15:13
leftyfbDrew_Neilson: on the server, run:   ( ls -ld /home/drew/tempmediadrive /home/drew/tempmediadrive/videos ) | nc termbin.com 999915:14
Drew_NeilsonWhat do [ls -ld] [|] and [nc termbin.com 9999] do?15:16
Drew_NeilsonIIRC, [ls -ld] has something to do with permissions15:17
leftyfbDrew_Neilson: I've told you before, you REALLY need to learn some of these basics.15:17
leftyfbDrew_Neilson: ls -ld will list the directory information, this is all piped to termbin.com port 9999 which will spit out a pastebin URL for you to post here15:18
Drew_Neilsonhttps://termbin.com/gr6515:24
leftyfbDrew_Neilson: is /home/drew/tempmediadrive a mount of an external device ?15:24
Drew_Neilsonyes15:25
leftyfbyou mounted it with the mount command?15:25
Drew_NeilsonI named it tempmediadrive because although it is an internal 3.5" HDD, I intend to replace it with a bigger one. Hence, 'temp'.15:26
Drew_NeilsonI mounted it by adding it to the file that contains the list of stuff that should be mounted when the computer boots.15:26
Drew_Neilsonsudo nano /etc/fstab15:27
leftyfbDrew_Neilson: is the drive formatted with NTFS (as well as the one you will replace it with?)15:28
Drew_NeilsonThe last line in that file is  /dev/sdb1       /home/drew/tempmediadrive       ext4    defaults        0       015:29
leftyfboh, it's ext415:29
Drew_NeilsonThing is, I was able to do   sudo mkdir -v videos15:31
leftyfbdon't use sudo to create directories in your home directory when your user needs access. That creates them with only root permission15:31
leftyfbsudo = root15:31
leftyfbbe VERY careful with what you do with sudo15:31
Drew_NeilsonSo maybe that's why this is denying me permission to [put] the pre-rolls folder there?15:33
leftyfbDrew_Neilson: is there an OS installed on your tempmediadrive? I'm going to have you change permissions on the whole thing so you can write to it, but if there's an OS installed on it, that OS will no longer function properly15:33
Drew_NeilsonNo there isn't.15:34

leftyfbyou can remove it:  rm /home/drew/tempmediadrive/file15:37

leftyfbbtw, every command you can run using a keyboard and monitor can be done over ssh. The only limitations are being able to send magic keys or things like CTRL+ALT+DEL and switching to tty1-9. None of which I feel you are ready for anyway15:40

leftyfbyes15:42
leftyfbI need to step away for the day now. Good luck15:43
Drew_Neilsonthanks15:43
tomreynit is owned by users 'drew' and her primary group 'drew', while located within 'drew's home directory. that seems good. also, it's permissions allow the user 'drew' and members of the group 'drew' to read and write it, as well as anyone else to read it.15:43
tomreynthat's probably also fine15:43
HashMorning15:44
tomreynDrew_Neilson: If you'd like to learn a little more about these shell commands, try this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto15:44
Drew_NeilsonOh I know that I need to learn the basics.15:45

HashFor me :)15:46
Haship command breakdown and stuff15:46
Drew_NeilsonBefore I do that, I need to fix my IRC client so that I am able to use it (and log conversations such as this one, for reference) instead of using web.libera.chat, which will lose my chat history when I close the browser tab.15:47
Drew_NeilsonUnfortunately, I've probably lost the conversation history from Friday, due to me rebooting this PC.15:48
tomreynDrew_Neilson: also, it's probably good that you're forcing yourself to use psftp so that you learn some SFTP commands (which are similar to FTP commands, just the SFTP protocol is much better than FTP). However, for every day use, while you're on Windows, you might prefer WinSCP (which is really a misnomer, it really uses SFTP, too) for transferring files in and out of the Ubuntu system.15:48
tomreyn!irclogs | Drew_Neilson; no, not lost :)15:48
ubottuDrew_Neilson; no, not lost :): Official channel logs can be found at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. Meetingology logs at https://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/15:48
Drew_NeilsonI previously downloaded PuTTY for a different reason: to get into the internals of an old TV via a serial cable connection. I found out yesterday--I think--that I could use PuTTY to transfer files to my Ubuntu Server.15:50
tomreynhehe15:51
Drew_NeilsonEdit: that I could *also* use PuTTY to transfer files.15:51
tomreynoh so you have another software for transferring files in and out, too?15:52
HashWhat are you trying to do?15:52
Drew_NeilsonI'll move this to #ubuntu-offtopic15:52
tomreyntransfer files from a windows system to an ubuntu server's /home/drew/tempmediadrive as the user servers' user "drew" - which previously failed due to this directory being owned by user root, and thus being unwritable for "drew"15:54
tomreynbut that should be fixed now.15:54
Hashchown -R drew:dew ~/tempmediadrive; chmod -R ug+rw ~/tempmediadrive15:55
HashThat ought to fix permissinos for you anywhere. Run those as sudo if you need in future.15:55
Hashdrew:drew*15:56
HashAnd from Windows, you can use WinSCP to xfer files to a remote server with ssh.15:56
HashThere are others as well, using sftp (again requiring ssh on server), filezilla can do it, WinSCP can do it.15:57
HashSo long as ssh is on some linux/unix server, you can sftp or scp or ssh into it and xfer files15:57
HashIt may also be helpful to install openssh server15:58
HashIf you don't want to deal with windows networking crap, you can use openssh-portable on windows15:58
Hashhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse15:58
HashThat way you don't realy have to worrya bout making SMB work with linux etc. Just keep everything scp/sftp/ etc.15:58
MeXersusGetting my Yubikey to work in WSL2 is driving me insane, was so easy on any of my "normal" distro's15:59
HashWSL2 is a hyperV layer, and not direct hardware access, virtualized.16:00

HashThat could be the issue. Natively linux on hardware directly shou;ldn't have any issues.16:00
HashI'm not sure if hpyerv in wsl2 allows usb passthru16:00
MeXersusIt does16:01
HashThen that should work for you I think.16:01
MeXersusIt's more about the .S-pgp-agent sockets16:01
HashI'm not sure how yibikeys/hw keys work16:01
HashNot sure what kind of networking MS uses in wsl2/hyperv but it's not like vmware bridged networking.16:05
HashBridged is fast in any of my vms, 10+MB/s usually 45MB/s (super fast business class internet)16:06
HashIn my Ubuntu setup inside WSL2, I get max 800kb/s16:06

Hashhttps://wiki.debian.org/NdisWrapper16:24
HashNo clue if such an old thing would even work  in this day and age16:24
HashThe NDISwrapper project provides a Linux kernel module that loads and runs Windows kernel API and NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) API drivers supplied by the vendors within the Linux kernel.16:24
tomreynpbox: so the point that the driver is built means that it can't be secureboot signed with canonical's key (which signs pre-installed kernels and kernel modules and grub), so, if you wanted to continue using these locally built modules you'll have to install your MOK in the kernel, which i understood was attempted but failed. so you'll either need to convince your uefi firmware (possibly involving upgrading that) to allow you to install your16:24
tomreyncustom MOK, or disable secure boot.16:24
tomreynHash: ndiswrapper is not relevant in this context.16:25
HashOk16:25
pboxI will try to disable it again16:26

pboxhttps://termbin.com/xc8516:33

tomreynssb is the "Sonics Silicon Backplane driver" - you are most likely not using that16:35
Jeremy31ssb is a broadcom driver16:35

pboxI thought one of these modprobe files16:42
Jeremy31That wifi chipset has been around for at least 7 years, maybe it never will be supported16:42
pboxcould give us some clues :)16:42
tomreynyour issue is not that one kernel module is incompatible to another16:43
pboxit's simply unsupported hardware?16:44
tomreynyour issue is that your kernel is told to prevent loading of non-secureboot signed modules16:44
pboxI disbaled secure boot16:44
tomreynoh, thats new info16:45
pboxI tried the live install USB media16:47

pboxand selected try ubuntu to see if the mdule was loaded there - no luck16:48
simba_hello16:51
simba_how are you?16:52
tomreynpbox: this sounds like secure boot was not really disabled. do you want to show a photo of the bios options you changed?17:12
pboxI will double check17:13
tomreynpbox: actually, even with secure boot disabled, your wireless would not be supported on the live boot system, becasue your hardware requires a manually built kernel module, which is not present there.17:13
pboxsays disabled in the bios17:13
pboxbut it built wl.ko in the installed version17:13
tomreyni think if secureboot is disabled in bios and you're happy to keep it this way then just reinstall ubuntu now and select the option to install 'proprietary drivers' and it should work17:14
tomreynhmm if ubuntu is already installed then you should also be able to make this work, but it may be less convenient than just reinstalling17:15
pboxok17:16
tomreyndo you have another way to get the installer online?17:16

pboxtomreyn: I reinstalled with usb tethering and secure boot off17:35
pboxand still no wifi17:35
tomreynpbox: choosing "ubuntu" from the uefi firmware boot menu would boot in uefi mode, which is normally what you want.17:36
pboxthanks - shouldnt grub show up though17:36
tomreynpbox: okay, so this just means you still need to install the driver manually17:36
tomreyngrub would only show when needed / configured to do so17:37

DIonaDear friends, is there any firewall with GUI that works well for this distro? For example, on Windows, we have COMODO, it alerts me for each connection attempt so that I can decide, with HIPS and etc, for example "Irc Client is trying to connect" and I click to accept or decline, and when start a new soft, click to allow or end. is there something similar for linux?17:39
pboxwhat should I install now? https://github.com/sominlee74/linux-14e4-43ae - this may be interesting to try?17:39
goddardDIona: opensnitch17:39
goddardor if you like something more simple gufw17:39
DIonagoddard, Letme google it17:40
tomreynpbox: you now need to find out which driver is available for your broadcom wireless chipset that is compatible to your current ubuntu release / current kernel version, and install that.17:42
tomreynpbox: i'd do a full    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get full-upgrade    first, though17:43
DIonagoddard, With a fast see in github, opensnitch sounds good, it is avaliable in ubunto oficial repos?17:43
tomreynhttps://github.com/sominlee74/linux-14e4-43ae is 6 years old, probably not a good idea17:43
goddardDIona: don't think so17:43
goddardDIona: i think on ubuntu you gotta build it17:44
goddardwhich is pretty easy17:44
pboxtomreyn: can you just take a quick look at the script I psted here?17:45
tomreynpbox: the one i just commented on?17:45
pboxoh ye haha but the repo it gets the drivers from was updates 2 months ago17:45
pboxhttps://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware this one17:46
tomreynpbox: this is for entirely different hardware17:48
pboxbut it says 14e4:43ae17:48
pboxwhich wsa the identifier of the chipset?17:49
tomreynyes, you seem to have successfully found a github source code repository of someone who does not undertsand what they're doing.17:49
pboxI see17:50
DIonagoddard, In a official repo of another distro? I preffer to use oficial repos for installs and updates for security reasons17:50
ravageDIona, there is no repository as far is i can see. so you need to update manually17:54

elquacko[m]I want two windows systems22:39
ravagethen thats triple booting22:40
ravagebut i have no idea why you would need that22:40
elquacko[m]Yeah that's why I think kvm will be easier then22:40
ravagemy suggestion would be to dual boot windows and ubuntu22:41
ravageuse virt-manager for additional VMs that dont need a dedicated GPU22:41
ravageand have at least 16GB of RAM22:41
elquacko[m]Is gpu passthrough with virt manager that hard?22:42
elquacko[m]With igpu and dedicated gpu?22:42
ravagetook me about 3 hours to figure stuff out only to pass through my internal intel GPU to the VM22:42
elquacko[m]I think it's worth the effort22:43
ravagegood luck :)22:43
elquacko[m]I have no experience whatsoever so it will take me much longer22:43
elquacko[m]How did you manage to do it?22:43
ravagepatience and reading22:43
elquacko[m]Any guides you followed?22:44
ravagei found about 10 guides and mixed information from all of them22:44
ravageas i said: good luck22:45
elquacko[m]fuck that sounds like a pain22:45
elquacko[m]hey ravage I think I'll need to repartition my drive right?22:46
ravagefor what?22:46
elquacko[m]do I?22:46
elquacko[m]for running the vms22:46
elquacko[m]maybe not22:46
ravageno22:46
gordonjcpjust create disk images for the vms22:46
gordonjcpwhat are you running in them?22:47
ravagemaybe find a guide how to start a VM in virt-manager before you think about stuff like GPU passthrough22:47
elquacko[m]well just 2 windows 10 machines22:47
elquacko[m]ravage: some wise advice22:47
elquacko[m]would the standard vm use igpu or what22:48
ravageit uses an emulated GPU22:48
elquacko[m]ah ok22:49
ravageworks fine for any office use22:49
ravagejust not for gaming22:49
elquacko[m]hmm that sounds good22:50
elquacko[m]if I were to try to passthrough gpu through it would it break anything if I do something wrong?22:50
ravageyou can render your system unbootable22:50
elquacko[m]that's not ideal22:51
ravageif you try a windows VM in virt-manager read up on virtio drivers. you should use this ISO for the drivers: for windows drivers make sure to read up on virtio: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/latest-virtio/virtio-win.iso22:51
elquacko[m]alright I can make one for office and use that while I figure out how to passthrough on a separate guinea pig vm22:51
elquacko[m]fedora22:52
elquacko[m]the commands will be different won't they?22:52
ravageno22:52
ravagefedora just provides the signed drivers so windows accepts them22:52
elquacko[m]ravage: 1 guide down 9 more to go22:53
elquacko[m]ravage: would I need to update those drivers every so often?22:54
ravagenot really22:54
elquacko[m]alrighty22:54
ravagei never updated anything so far22:54
ravagethe most critical part is usually that during setup it will not find any HDD. so you have provide it from the ISO22:55
ravagei usually just add a 2nd CDROM drive to the VM so i dont have to switch22:56
elquacko[m]yeah I only have ssd22:56
ravageok i will let you read up on the concept of a VM first :)22:57
elquacko[m]ok did you mean virtual storage?23:02
Tahr-userWhich Ubuntu(s) would be best for this machine:23:02
ravageelquacko[m], yes23:02

ravageTahr-user, please test your client in #test23:02
ravageoh23:02
ravagewell.. ok23:02
arraybolt3[m]Tahr-user: Lubuntu.23:02
ravagesorry :P23:03
arraybolt3[m]ravage: You may have missed his first message.23:03
ravageyes i did23:03
arraybolt3[m]Tahr-user: Actually, hold on, I just realize something, Lubuntu might not actualy work...23:03
ravageat least its a 64bit CPU23:03
ravagebut 2GB of RAM is really not a lot23:04
ravageif you can upgrade to 4 somehow that would help a lot with performance23:04
arraybolt3[m]Tahr-user: Lubuntu will work. It will be a bit cramped, and you might want to increase your swap space (or like ravage said, install more RAM) for best results.23:05
guivercTahr-user, the best isn't based purely on machine, but also what you'll do with it.  I QA-test using a 2GB RAM device & still use devices with 1GB ... BUT I use them differently to boxes with more resources, esp. more RAM.23:05
arraybolt3[m]You may also want to go with a more lightweight Web browser like Falkon instead of Firefox.23:05
guivercModern Lubuntu is LXQt thus is Qt5, and yes the lightest flavor, however if you're using GTK3 apps that isn't necessarily lightest anymore...23:05
ravageif you want to stay with Ubuntu maybe xubuntu is a way23:06
ravagereally depends on what you want to do with that old thing :)23:06
oerheksthere are more flavors, mate..23:06
arraybolt3[m]Ah, I forgot about Ubuntu MATE. Tahr-user: What are some apps you use commonly?23:07
Tahr-userIt was recommended elsewhere not to risk throwing money away into RAM in other channels since this machine might not survive the summer.  I tried two Ubuntus about version 13 or so, and they seemed heavy.  Umm, I usually use wine, and I know that is heavy.  I do not like the way firefox autoupdates or tries to now, but I play browser games.23:08
arraybolt3[m]Tahr-user: You can remove the Snap firefox and install it from a PPA or a tarball to get around that.23:09
Tahr-userOkay.23:09
guivercthe oldest supported flavor will be 20.04 LTS; as flavors come only with 3 years of supported life for a LTS23:09
ravageif you plan to get a new PC soon then maybe dont invest to much in it anymore23:09
arraybolt3[m]Tahr-user: However, if you're trying Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10, and they seem heavy, you may want to spring for Debian instead. Virtually any modern Ubuntu is going to be heavier than that.23:09
=== ingsock96414 is now known as ingsock9641
guivercUbuntu 13.04 was Unity 7 & GTK3 & heavy compared to Lubuntu (LXDE & GTK2 then) or Xubuntu (Xfce & GTK2) - but anything EOL shouldn't be used online  (hey even MATE was GTK2 in 2013 ; it didn't slow till 16.04 if I recall correctly)23:11
arraybolt3[m]Tahr-user: If you want to take Ubuntu for a spin, I'd try Ubuntu MATE and Lubuntu first (both version 22.04). Uninstall the Snap firefox, install the PPA version, and see if it works. If not, I'd try out Debian with LXDE (no need to mess with Firefox on that), and see how you like that.23:13
Tahr-userThe Debian requirements looked fairly heavy and complicated.  It needs a different partition from what I read.  I will look further into Xubuntu or Lubuntu.  Okay, I will check out Ubuntu MATE with uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, and Debian with LXDE too.23:16
Tahr-userThank you for the recommendations!23:17
arraybolt3[m]Tahr-user: The system requirements will mainly vary depending on what desktop and apps you use. A barebones Debian installation with no desktop can survive on 64 MB RAM (at least I saw someone run it on something like that). The desktop you install will dictate how much heavier it gets. LXDE is one of the most lightweight, GNOME is one of the heaviest.23:18
arraybolt3[m]LXQt (Lubuntu), XFCE (Xubuntu), and MATE (Ubuntu MATE) are on the lighter end of the spectrum, KDE (Kubuntu) closer to the heavier end.23:19
arraybolt3[m](And you can get lighter than LXDE and heavier than GNOME, but anything lighter than LXDE is going to be painful if you're not used to it, and anything heavier than GNOME is going to be way overkill.)23:19
