Hi i have a 2/3 year old Acer laptop I'm looking to Install ubuntu onto. It's specs are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23884933/plain/ .
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:46:19
What would version would it accept?
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 17:46:20
FireStriker, nope
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 17:46:27
can't read your link.
sirv 2017-01-28 17:46:52
firestriker ... always install the newest version .. 16.04
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:47:07
.... I don't even know how to use the pastebin lol let me post it here.
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:47:19
I'm def going to install 16.04
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 17:47:35
but in general, you should be able to install the latest *buntu. 16.04 would be good
sirv 2017-01-28 17:48:04
well .. wait .. your specs are really LOW
sirv 2017-01-28 17:48:12
very very low
sirv 2017-01-28 17:48:35
i installed on my very old laptom gentoo linux
sirv 2017-01-28 17:48:46
it was doing surprisingly good
sirv 2017-01-28 17:49:02
but try ubuntu first maybe it will be acceptable
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:49:12
Acer Aspire E 11, Intel Celeron N2830 2.41GHz Intel HD Graphics. 2gb ddr3L
sirv 2017-01-28 17:49:19
2gb that is very low
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 17:49:37
FireStriker, 2gb? that's the issue. 16.04 xubuntu or lubuntu for that machine
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:49:53
Ik I would like to upgrade it but you need to take the whole thing apart
sirv 2017-01-28 17:50:07
yeah try xubuntu or lubuntu
sirv 2017-01-28 17:50:29
or gentoo :) but that is much harder to install than ubuntu - it compiles all packages and kernel and everything
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:50:33
Yes a newish laptop with 2 gb. Bought when all computers were sniping with 4plus
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 17:50:53
FireStriker: Have you installed 'buntu to this Acer before ? EFI system where setting trust might be an issue ?
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:51:01
Odd but it's ment to be a small net computer or something
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:51:10
I haven't no
sirv 2017-01-28 17:51:26
upgrade the ram to maximum ... thats like and $50 dollar upgrade and it makes difference ..
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:51:45
It's just stock win 10 upgrade nothing done to it besides upgrading from win 8
sirv 2017-01-28 17:52:17
dont install ubuntu .. try xubuntu
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:53:02
I need to do something it's not running too good on windows. A lot of backed in blootware which I have gotten most of it but it's still slow esp when useing the internet with 1 tab
sirv 2017-01-28 17:54:06
yes windows has to run slow on that specs, but linux will not be like 2x faster, maybe 1.5x faster .. but definitely NOT ubuntu , unity is memory hungry
xangua 2017-01-28 17:54:44
FireStriker: Lubuntu
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:54:46
Ik I have seen, it will speed it up a little, enough for it to be used
sirv 2017-01-28 17:55:44
or Lubuntu is even better, get the AMD64 bit version
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 17:55:50
FireStriker, lubuntu is optimized for older / lower spec machines. xubuntu is not optimized but is still quite good.
sirv 2017-01-28 17:56:10
fireestriker let us know how that worked for u
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:56:32
Ok I will
sirv 2017-01-28 17:57:25
it is always good to have lot of memory, for example just my firefox with 2 pages open uses 1GB ram right now
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:57:34
I hope it doesn't chuck a wobbly when i install it. I tried a dual boot on my HP and some driver was stopping it from booting
FireStriker 2017-01-28 17:57:43
Was a AMD graphics driver I know that
MarkB2 2017-01-28 17:58:05
I would love to build the NVidia driver for this 6200 interface. Pulled the .run file from NVidia's web site, followed the instructions... and it spits up "unknown symbol mtrr_del, mtrr_add".
bigLanky 2017-01-28 18:00:42
anyone have an idea of why when i plug in a second video card only 1 monitor gets a signal, but both monitors show up in my displays
bigLanky 2017-01-28 18:00:57
I have toggled on/off the display but can't seem to get it on
FireStriker 2017-01-28 18:03:15
What are the Ubuntu irc channels? It's been a while since I have been in here and forgotten them.
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:03:47
FireStriker, read /msg ubottu alis
FireStriker 2017-01-28 18:05:32
Ok, I'm just wanting the name of the offtopic irc. I trying joining it but i did some thing wrong can't remember the name
hggdh 2017-01-28 18:05:59
FireStriker: #ubuntu-offtopic
FireStriker 2017-01-28 18:06:22
Dash ok I did underscore thanks hggdh
bigLanky 2017-01-28 18:10:09
should I use a different video driver? Currently I have selected "Using Processor microde firmware for intel CPUs from intel-microcode (proprietary)"

lsub shows it though
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:19:26
so basically i got into a window that I could not escape out of in the ubuntu upgrade
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:19:33
how do i make sure the upgade completed?
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:19:59
snowkidind, you mean a system update or a complete OS upgrade?
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:20:06
14 - 16
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:21:01
snowkidind, 1. assume the OS upgrade worked. 2. fully upgrade the new OS: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:21:20
yes, that means using the terminal :)
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:21:38
lol easy boy
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:22:04
did all of that at least twice
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:22:15
im just getting a syntax error in apache
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:22:21
its driving me nuts
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:22:34
and i got banned from #httpd for no reason whatsoever
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:22:36
snowkidind, ah. well then: purge it and reinstal
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:22:43
how
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:22:59
sudo apt remove --purge apache
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:23:11
sudo apt install apache
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:23:26
does that kill my config?
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:23:42
possibly. back up the config first
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:23:43
I have a couple ruby pages and a django install on there along with php
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:24:04
will that domp all the a2en mods?
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:24:27
sorry too many questions
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:24:53
...... and you have now officially gone over my narrow area of expertise. sorry, but know nothing of .a2en
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:25:26
thats cool
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:25:26
i probably need to do that anyways
snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:25:42
i was bumming when it started trying to reconfigure phpmyadmin
cfhowlett 2017-01-28 18:25:52

snowkidind 2017-01-28 18:26:19

I am getting lots of "Temporary failure in name resolution" - retry and it works. which makes me think I have an extra dns server sometimes being used. how do I tell what dnsmasq is using ?
