[19:23] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer: in /lib/modules/ there are a whole bunch of (thankfully almost empty) directories for every kernel I have had since install even though I only have three kernels in the /boot directory. do you find something similar?
[19:24] <OvenWerks> I am guessing the few files left in these directories are created after the package is installed and so apt can't remove them or the directory. Is this a known bug?

[00:53] <daftykins> davef: that sounds cool, i could probably do with automating some installs to save time - my issue in the past is that releases change so often that it seems not worth it
[00:54] <davef> these guys have a 12 page document on how to provision one computer. it easily take 4-5 hours to complete.
[00:55] <daftykins> O_O
[00:55] <davef> With automating the first part, I'm taking off at least 2 hours of work from each machine I have to deploy.
[00:55] <daftykins> cunning :D
[00:56] <davef> So the 8hrs I spent today will save me MANY MORE HOURS over the next few years
[00:56] <daftykins> oy i was up early 24 hours ago as there was a power cut across town, i knew i'd have to go and start up my first dental practice client's gear and ensure all was working before business hours... then i got home about 6am and seemed to have slept for 18 hours 'til now D:


[12:23] <Guest84895> Hello, there is some trouble with the screen brightness on my laptop with xubuntu. Using this command: sudo su -c 'echo 12 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness' I can input the brightness from 0 (darkest) to 15 (brightest). The brightness should be linear from 0 to 15 but instead it is something like this: 10, 9, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. So I can not put lowest brightness. Help anyone?
[12:24] <MEMERY_HELP> Hi everyone, I'm on Xubuntu 18.04 and after some recent updates I noticed something strange: My RAM usage increased to about 40% even though nothing is running. Has anyone noticed this kind of behaviour recently?
[12:25] <gnrp> MEMERY_HELP: Enter `top` in the terminal, then you can see the memory usage of processes
[12:27] <Guest84895> MEMERY HELP no
[13:00] <ggz> diogenes_: i tried to remove the pulseaudio plugin and add it back, but the multimedia keys still don't work
[13:00] <diogenes_> ggz, were they working before?
[13:10] <ggz> diogenes_: yes, and the volume down still work (and i tested with xev, the keys still work)
[13:11] <diogenes_> ggz, try with a new user on the system.

[18:09] <johan> Hello, I'm on a laptop using Xubuntu 20.04 and there is some trouble with the screen brightness.

[19:01] <Kryuna> Hi all :)
[21:29] <audi70re> good evening, i have an old thinkpad x130e with an dualcore AMD E450 1.6 ghz cpu and 4gb ram. i run windows 10 on it now and it is ok, but the performance could be smoother, faster, better. do you think an lightweight linux distribution like xubuntu will run better on it?
[21:34] <brainwash> audi70re: you can get a first impression with the live session
[21:53] <audi70re> ok thank you i will try it out
[23:21] <n-iCe> hi
