| ball | Is the LTS likely to work better than 23.04? | 00:51 |
| daftykins | would much rather hear what's actually going on with the system than make leaps of judgement | 00:51 |
| daftykins | penguin42: i promise there is just a cute kitty! | 00:51 |
| ball | daftykins: That's fair. | 00:51 |
| daftykins | in fact the "Mature" checkbox is clear | 00:51 |
| daftykins | (didn't even know that was an imgur thing) | 00:52 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: those eyebrows say that's a cat that's seen a lot | 00:52 |
| daftykins | the bestest girl! | 00:53 |
| daftykins | ball: what are the spare parts? if it's truly trashtastic then maybe older kernels will help but *shrug* gotta know what it's really up to | 00:54 |
| daftykins | those kernels'll boot, but they'll silently scream into logs! | 00:54 |
| ball | Lubuntu seems happy enough on it. AMD Phenom II X4 925, AM2+ mainboard (would work better in an AM3 board but I don't want to buy one), two 2GB DDR2 DIMMs. | 00:55 |
| daftykins | i just scrubbed up an Acer craptop with an Athlon II P340 in it for a neighbour, heh | 00:57 |
| ball | I don't know the P340. I should look that up. | 00:57 |

| ball | I'm going to have to put a graphics card in this poor old thing. | 02:07 |
| ball | Oh wait, if I drop the detail to minimal it works. :-) | 02:15 |
| daftykins | yeah slap a card in :P | 02:17 |
| ball | daftykins: He inherited this brand new ATX mid-tower case from his late uncle. I don't know whether the uncle had been planning to build someone else a machine in it or if he was thinking of downsizing from the bonkers full-tower that he had but I also have an old GTX-1060 card and some more modest graphics cards that could probably go in there. | 02:19 |
| ball | The GTX-1060 card is from the bonkers machine. | 02:20 |

| ball | I remember those! | 02:22 |
