[10:00] <SteveGoodey> Hello, just a quicky, what filesystem does Xubuntu install as default? Thanks.
[10:00] <gnrp> ext4
[10:05] <SteveGoodey> gnrp: Thanks for the quick answer. :-)
[14:38] <coltigore> Hello, I'm trying to get soemone set up coming from linux from windows for the first time, and I was wondering if xubuntu would be just as easy as regular as normal ubuntu for someone who's scared of the terminal. it's a low spec laptop which is why i'm recommending  an xfce distro
[14:46] <diogenes_> coltigore, Xubuntu is an excellent choice for new users.
[14:49] <coltigore> Thanks! diogenes_
[14:51] <diogenes_> coltigore, then only thing you probably would want to do is to move the panel from top to bottom and pick some themes.
[15:06] <pmjdebruijn> coltigore: if you really want to easy one into linux, you might considering settings someone up with firefox/libreoffice first on windows, before trying to move them to linux
[15:13] <diogenes_> well you can install pretty much any browser on Xubuntu, Firefox is default but you can install Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Slimjet, Brave and others, rhere are rumors that Edge will come too, and if you're absolutely desperate for ms office, it can run on wine.
[15:57] <coltigore> they don;t really need office, they're a google docs user.
[16:09] <pmjdebruijn> ah... that'll make it relatively easy then :)
[16:20] <xu-help29w> how cam i have mirror display and monitor on xubuntu 20.4.1?
[17:56] <manu1511> lookin for an offline english-german dictionary for linux
[19:35] <Spooner> Hi! Is there a manual way to fix the xfce4-weather-plugin in Xubuntu 18.04?


  How much time left ?
[02:44] <jthan> Nope. I'm home until 8/20
[02:44] <InHisName> all done ?  Is 8/20 when new school year starts ?
[02:45] <jthan> 8/27 is when classes start. Road tripping out though
[02:57] <poppeye> I do
[03:00] <poppeye> its been a while sice I've been in here.  (was plctowlie).  how's everyone been?
[03:17] <InHisName> this one's easier to pronounce
[03:25] <poppeye> def
[03:27] <poppeye> I haven't got quite as far as I've hoped so far with ubuntu.  but I'm not doing too bad.  got my mythtv setup running for the last two years full time (my wife even uses it)
[03:28] <poppeye> and we've started developing on an ubuntu based embedded system at my controls job.
[03:30] <poppeye> I popped in because we were actually looking to hire someone with a linuux software/controls background, and I thought there might be some local contacts here
[03:42] <InHisName> Good place to start looking.
[03:43] <InHisName> A few of us are looking for work, talents may or may not be what you need.  No two people are exactly alike.  Some are busy with jobs already.
[03:48] <poppeye> ok good to know.  I'll get some details together and share them.
[04:08] <waltman> Someone at plug tonight was looking for suggestions for a dist that might run on a 2002-vintage laptop he's just come into possession of.  Maybe xubuntu?
[04:09] <poppeye> I just put xubuntu on my first gen netbook (atom).  it worked out great
[04:10] <pleia2> xubuntu would be nice, lubuntu is probably better
[04:10] <waltman> ooh, lubuntu?
[04:10]  * waltman googles...
[04:10] <pleia2> uses lxde, they actually focus on being lightweight (xubuntu just tracks xfce)
[04:11] <InHisName> is that what you get with lol + ubuntu ?
[04:11] <pleia2> sometimes
[04:12] <waltman> thanks, will pass this along.
[04:15] <InHisName> 2002 --- Oh so much more modern than my T21 IBM.  (it has multi-boot - PCOS7, ubuntu, and XP, I forgot the others)
[04:16] <waltman> PCOS!
[04:16] <pleia2> hahah
[04:16] <InHisName> I may have spelled it wrong,  but it IS a linux
[09:23] <JonathanD> Morning.
[09:30] <rmg51> Morning JonathanD
[09:31] <JonathanD> hey rmg51
[09:31] <rmg51> o/
[11:53] <waltman> *yawn*
[11:53] <jedijf> morning
[11:53] <jedijf> waltman: of course you invited them to fosscon and specifically the ubuntu village
[11:54] <jedijf> where we could do an alternate cli only install and the add up stuff so that 2002 will run
[12:15] <waltman> jedijf: I didn't specifically do that, but I do believe he'll be there.
[12:34] <waltman> just sent him a follow-up email
[13:31] <JonathanD> my tablet is updating to 12.04
[13:31] <JonathanD> "About 11 hours remaining"
[13:32] <JonathanD> :/
[13:41] <waltman> 12.04 of...?
[13:41] <waltman> ubuntu?
[13:41] <JonathanD> yeah.
[13:41] <waltman> not android?
[13:41] <JonathanD> no... it's x86 tablet.
[13:41] <waltman> ah
[13:42] <JonathanD> it's a convertible thingy.
[13:44] <JonathanD> 9 hours now.
[14:57] <ChinnoDog> My company wants to offer unlimited paid time off.
[14:57]  * ChinnoDog cringes
[14:59] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: unlimited, like a cell phone data plan.
[15:19] <ChinnoDog> Theoretically. lol. Unlimited until you get fired.
[15:19] <JonathanD> Exactly.
[15:19] <JonathanD> It's only unlimited until you try to use it ;)
[15:20] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: generally places that "don't track time off" try to claim it as a positive aspect for employees, but I think it results in people taking less time off instead.
[15:20] <JonathanD> and I think the business knows this.
[15:21] <ChinnoDog> Our CEO isn't trying to be evil. He is trying to promote a culture change.
[15:21] <ChinnoDog> He has good intentions.
[15:21] <JonathanD> I just don't think it'll work.
[15:21] <ChinnoDog> He sent us a survey to fill out about it. That is basically what I said. I think it could work given some other changes but until then unlimited vacation = no vacation
[15:43] <JonathanD> updates almost done...
[16:51] <JonathanD> annnnnnnnnnd the touchscreen stopped working :D
[17:12] <ChinnoDog> That is a feature
[17:26] <JonathanD> it's sort of owkring
[17:26] <JonathanD> the pen works
[17:26] <JonathanD> touch doesn't work right.
[17:26] <JonathanD> dragging my finger around the screen moves the mouse pointer.
[18:54] <pleia2> I think I actually do need to hire someone to irc for me
[18:55] <JonathanD> heh :)
[18:55] <pleia2> :)
[19:41] <rmg51> pleia2: you can always try Stitch :-D
[19:42] <pleia2> hehe
[19:44] <JonathanD> pleia2: we can take turns ircing for you.
[19:46] <pleia2> oh good, thanks
