| [08:43] <Hadi> Hello | |
| [08:44] <Hadi> I have some question about lubuntu | |
| [08:44] <Hadi> Is anyone here? | |
| [08:45] <bioterror> !ask | |
| [08:45] <ubottu> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | |
| [08:49] <Hadi> I downloades Lubuntu AMD64 for my laptop,Can I use it for my PC or I have to dowbload 32 bit version? | |
| [08:50] <Hadi> My pc : 3 GB ram, CPU 3700 ,Grapgic card 128 MB | |
| [08:50] <Hadi> Hard 160 GB | |
| [08:50] <Hadi> Thanks a lot | |
| [08:51] <bioterror> needs more info regarding the CPU | |
| [08:53] <Hadi> CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.6 GHz | |
| [09:12] <Hadi> Is the information ok? | |
| [09:14] <bioterror> yes, it works but I it will not be as nice as 32bit would be with that ammount of RAM | |
| [09:18] <Hadi> Ok Thanks a lot | |
| [09:18] <Hadi> Good luck | |

| [18:08] <Langley> How do I turn off display compositing, so I can use Compton instead | |
| [18:12] <redwolf> Langley, the only way is "killing" compton | |
| [18:12] <redwolf> pkill compton | |
| [18:12] <Langley> What? But Compton is what I wanna use | |
| [18:12] <Langley> Or are you saying that Lubuntu already uses compton? | |
| [18:13] <redwolf> ah sorry :D | |
| [18:13] <redwolf> what window manager are you using now? | |
| [18:13] <redwolf> Compiz? | |
| [18:13] <Langley> I don't know, whatever is default | |
| [18:13] <Langley> In 15.10 | |
| [18:14] <redwolf> then you don't have compositing yet | |
| [18:14] <redwolf> just run compton | |
| [18:14] <redwolf> Lubuntu comes without composition. you have to install compton and tun it | |
| [18:14] <redwolf> *run it | |
| [18:14] <redwolf> Langley, http://lubuntu.me/tip-compton/ | |
| [18:15] <Langley> Wut... | |
| [18:15] <redwolf> then you can add it to startup by using lxsession-default-apps | |
| [18:16] <redwolf> any problem, Langley? | |
| [18:17] <Langley> I thought compositing was required for graphical interfaces... then I dont even know what it is | |
| [18:17] <redwolf> no | |
| [18:17] <redwolf> compositing is a kind of app that uses some graphic resources to enable your desktop doing some special things | |
| [18:18] <redwolf> like Compiz uses OpenGL of some Ati / Nvidia / etc. cards to enable effects | |
| [18:18] <redwolf> Compton does the same using less resources, and of course, less effects | |
| [18:19] <redwolf> you can run them or not :) | |
| [18:21] <Langley> Is there any reason it's not included by default? To save resources? | |
| [18:21] <redwolf> yes, and some graphics cards don't support those effects | |
| [18:23] <Langley> In case it fixes my stuttering problem, I think it should be included... the stuttering is one of the worst things of linux | |
| [18:23] <redwolf> anyway, once activate you are telling the gpu core (not cpu) to handle the screen drawing, so window movement can be a bit more fluid | |
| [18:23] <redwolf> stuttering? in your screen? | |
| [18:24] <Langley> In videos | |
| [18:24] <redwolf> oh that, I don't think a compositor fixes that. have you tried using proprietary drivers or your graphics card? | |
| [18:26] <Langley> The usual suggestion is to install Compton. But yeah the next step would be to install the blasted AMD drivers | |
| [18:27] <redwolf> that would fix that. and you may need the drivers to make compton work properly | |
| [18:30] <Langley> So compositing is only 10 years old, huh... | |
| [18:30] <Langley> For linux anyways | |
| [18:32] <redwolf> :9 | |
| [18:32] <redwolf> :) | |
| [18:33] <redwolf> actually, if you look at the wikipedia page, Commodore tried to do it in 1985 | |
| [18:34] <Langley> Yes... rip... | |
| [18:34] <redwolf> no shadows or effects, but the goal was that applications stopped drawing themselves in the graphic memory. there was a "module" for that task | |
| [18:35] <redwolf> then OSX "invented" Quartz, the same module tweaked, with some pieces of GNUStep able to drop shadows and produce 3D effects | |
| [18:36] <redwolf> but the idea is always the same: direct rendering | |
| [18:36] <Langley> I tried that GNUstep out on top of Arch some time ago... wtf is that stuff? A DE for museums? | |
| [18:39] <redwolf> :D actually there's a new ISO now | |
| [18:40] <redwolf> it's basically OSX / iOS without all the makeup | |
| [23:50] <iynque> I was upgrading 15.04 to 15.10 and I noticed “scienze” http://pastebin.com/8qMzuU7e | |
| [23:50] <iynque> :D | |
