| Scary_Guy | So, I've got NUT running on my system. How the hell am I supposed to get upower to read it though? | 07:03 |
|---|---|---|
| Scary_Guy | I mean I've got nut-monitor running but it's ugly as hell. If I could just get an icon in my statusbar I would be so happy. | 07:04 |
| jrwren | ok, rpi5 is pretty awesome. darned fast. nice upgrade. | 21:12 |
| Mooncairn | OMG Win 10 is such a horrifying nightmare. | 21:53 |
| Mooncairn | Actually, s/10// | 21:53 |
| Mooncairn | I really don't know how people put up with it. | 21:55 |
| Mooncairn | On a somewhat related topic: Can a semi-usable Ubuntu installation be had in only 20G of disk space (because that's all of the space I can recover by shrinking Win's partition)? | 21:59 |
| llua | i haven't used ubuntu in over a decade, but an ubuntu desktop install is >20G? | 22:05 |
| Mooncairn | That's what I'm wondering. I've done a Debian install in a 20GB VM before, and the base install plus KDE was around 9GB. User files quickly exhausted the remaining space. | 22:06 |
| jrwren | I'd say yes, but with ubuntu putting so many things in snaps, the answer is probably no. | 22:16 |
| jrwren | debian bookworm is pretty nice these days. or anything that isn't ubuntu w/ snaps | 22:16 |
| jrwren | it really depends on what you are going to use it for. | 22:16 |
| jrwren | its pretty easy to slim down a linux distro. Not using open office? remove it. not printing, remove all of cups. etc etc | 22:17 |
| jrwren | `du -hx / | sort -hr | less` is your friend. | 22:17 |
| Mooncairn | This is for my mom's computer. She's having no end of problems but won't abandon Windows. | 22:18 |
| Mooncairn | I'd wanted to shrink the Windows partition (assuming I'd have gotten more than 20GB in the process) and install Ubuntu or Debian as a trail balloon. | 22:19 |
| jrwren | good luck. | 22:19 |
| Mooncairn | s/trail/trial | 22:20 |
| jrwren | I told my mom, "sorry mom, I don't know Windows these days. Maybe ask a friend" | 22:20 |
| Mooncairn | I've told my mom that, too, but she won't listen. | 22:20 |
| jrwren | 🤐 | 22:21 |
