| ball | Is Lubuntu still considered lighter than vanilla (Gnome?) Ubuntu? | 04:33 |
|---|---|---|
| zxmpi | yes | 04:46 |
| ball | Thanks. | 04:50 |
| ball | Might try that on my son's "new" PC. | 04:50 |
| zxmpi | Lubuntu requires a 700 MHz Single processor. Ubuntu a 2 GHz dual processor. | 04:51 |
| zxmpi | As memory is specified in Lubuntu 512 MB. In the case of Ubuntu 2 GB. | 04:51 |
| zxmpi | Lubuntu requires 5 GB of hard disk space. Ubuntu 25 GB. | 04:51 |
| zxmpi | https://technical-tips.com/blog/software/lubuntu-or-ubuntu-all-of-23380 | 04:52 |
| ball | Ws that written today or just edited? | 04:53 |
| ball | Oh wait, it mentions 16.04 as current and Unity, which I think has its own flavour now. | 04:56 |
| zxmpi | huh i searched for only in the last year, sorry for that | 05:03 |
| ball | No problem. Weirdly it had today's date on the page. | 05:04 |
| ball | Still useful content though. | 05:05 |
| ball | I'm guessing Gnome uses 3D hardware for the compositor as Unity did? | 05:05 |
| ball | I'll read more on this later. I'm downloading Lubuntu 23.04 now... | 05:10 |
| ball | zxmpi: Thanks for the help. | 05:10 |

| ball | I get constant "System program problem detected" pop-ups when I'm trying to install Ubuntu 23.04. | 20:17 |
| penguin42 | ball: a 'dmesg' might show why | 20:18 |
| daftykins | does it prevent it from completing? why non-LTS? | 20:18 |
| ball | daftykins: I did consider LTS. It's what I'd use for the office. | 20:22 |
| ball | Might try Lubuntu instead. Would have gone with Raspbian but that's only 32-bit on the desktop PC. | 20:23 |
| ball | This is my son's first desktop PC. | 20:24 |
| ball | (I hope to inherit his Raspberry Pi 400) | 20:24 |
| ball | Sort of wish Lubuntu had a "minimal install" option like Ubuntu has though. | 20:25 |
| daftykins | it's implemented backwards such that it's quicker not to use though xD | 20:25 |
| ball | Not quicker and still needs plenty of elbow room on the disk to install things and then remove them, I'm told; | 20:26 |
| daftykins | precisely | 20:26 |
| ball | I broke out a new SSD for him. That, the case and PSU are new (and the CPU cooler). | 20:28 |
| ball | ...everything else is from the scrap shelf. | 20:29 |
| ball | (which might explain the errors) | 20:29 |
| daftykins | well what does dmesg say? :) | 20:30 |
| daftykins | don't leave us in suspense! | 20:30 |
| ball | daftykins: I don't know yet. I've already reimaged the USB flash drive and we're trying to install Lubuntu. | 20:37 |
| ball | ...seems to be working better. | 20:40 |
| daftykins | of course the media checker should have helped spot any quirks on the first | 20:41 |
| ball | I'll be back later. | 20:58 |
