Lubuntu System Requirement

Hi, Are you saying that it is hard or impossible to install Lubuntu using the Desktop ISO from the LiveCD or LiveUSB if your machine has less than 768MB of RAM? Well, from my own experience with Real Hardware for two years, I have installed Lubuntu From the LiveCD with LESS than 256MB of RAM on P

I can successfully install Lubuntu on machines with 512 megabytes of memory, but only if I first (when running on the live CD), go into the package manager, and remove the lubuntu ubiquity slideshow package. Without doing that, it crashes while still copying files to be installed. On older lev

You most welcome :) I have stopped from using LiveCDs. I actually have an USB Drive with 8GB capacity and I have created a Multi-ISO-Booting USB so that I just put the ISO that I need and so far, I guess I have 4 or 5 :) This is MUCH better than formatting, creating, etc. The process is very easy

Yes amjjawad, at least hard ;-) Maybe easy for a guru, but hard for me. My experience (with Lubuntu 12.04+) is similar to what is recommended in the following link (I don't know who wrote it, and maybe you disagree, but the sweet point 700 MB RAM is stated twice). https://help.ubuntu.com/communit

Hello again amjjawad, Well, the link doesn't say and I don't say that 700MB is the minimum requirement for Lubuntu, only to install using the desktop iso with a graphical installer. "Alternate ISOs are for low-RAM PCs. Computers with less than 700 MB of RAM are considered low-RAM computers. Here

Hi Barry and thanks a lot for your email. Indeed, with 256MB of RAM, Chrome/Chromium will crash. Chromium actually crashes on my Test Laptop with 512MB of RAM. Firefox on low RAM machines as far as I noticed is much stable. There is a Non-Official Apps for Lubuntu for testing, one of them is a br

Hi Lars! Do you mean Chrome (proprietary) or Chromium-browser or Chromium (another program)? My experience is that Lubuntu 12.04 works well with the default Chromium-browser and 1 GB RAM. Now I have 1.25 GB. But I like Firefox better (probably because I'm more used to it). We may have different h

Midori and zram will probably do you the most good. "chromium-browser. I tend to have a lot of tabs open. The actual number waxes and wanes through the day, but usually between 6 and 15. After a few are open, chromium-browser will often blank out a few and label them with the unhappy face."

zram for all, and midori if your browser is too heavy.. Also as of late, even firefox uses less memory than chromium, I've never understood the switch every light distro has made to chromium, chromium is a real pig if you watch it closely enough, each tab is a new instance. its a joke. --- C

Re: Lubuntu System Requirement

2013-04-05 Thread Phill Whiteside
All the light distros switched to chromium because it was far lighter than FFox. FFox has been put on a crash diet and had a lot of bloat taken out of it. Currently it is better at handling low RAM instances and may well be the default for 13.10, but the diet happened too late for it to be in 13.04

And after all, it is SO easy to install Firefox: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install firefox :) Hope we can decide the default browser for 13.10 earlier this time. That plan was highlighted a year or even older but we didn't go further so hope we can this time :D On Fri, Apr 5, 2013 at 8
